  Raquel’s is by far the most accommodating and reliable establishment I have ever used. My dog was experiencing health issues, and their exceptional communication and thoughtful consideration made all the difference. This is a truly respectable business with outstanding service and caring staff. If you have an older dog who would benefit from a calm, relaxed environment, you won’t find a better place.

  I left my dog, Oliver, with Raquel for an overnight stay this week and couldn’t be happier with the experience. I first met Raquel back in April when I moved to San Diego with my senior pup, Ozzie. I was looking for someone kind, loving, and truly devoted to the dogs in her care—and Raquel was exactly that. Sadly, Ozzie passed before he ever got to stay with her. Seven months later, I now have Ozzie’s little brother, Oliver. I travel for work occasionally and hadn’t been thrilled with my local boarding option, so I reached back out to Raquel—and I’m so glad I did. Oliver had a wonderful time playing with the pugs in her care, got plenty of cuddles, and came home happy and relaxed. I received lots of photos and updates during his stay, plus a sweet Polaroid keepsake. He even came back cleaner than when I dropped him off! The communication around drop-off, pick-up, and all the details was excellent—something I really appreciate when juggling travel and flights. Raquel made the whole process seamless. The level of care she provides is truly special. I’m so grateful to have found her and her Senior Dog BNB, and will absolutely be bringing Oliver back.

  Ill start by saying how great it is to find a place that specializes in senior dogs. We have had soo many issues with Rover and kennels in the past so this was a true blessing. We recently had out two babies with Senior BnB for a weekend and it went a smooth as could be. They were picked up at our condos which was great and dropped off. And during the whole time we got many updates and inquiries which helped us be at ease during our holiday. Both our pups came back happy and healthy. The ability Senior BnB has to follow medical needs is soo amazing we could not be happier with them. We look forward to booking with them again anytime we need to leave.

  Raquel & Marcus treated our senior dog, Oscar, with so much love whenever he stayed with them. Normally, we’d be worried about going on vacations because of Oscar, but he looked forward to going to Raquel’s so much that he wouldn’t even look back at us when we dropped him off. They sent us multiple photo updates every day — Oscar hanging out, having fun with his other sleepy senior besties, getting treats on our behalf, and cuddling with them whenever he missed us. At Raquel’s, there are so many cozy sleeping spots for the dogs. Each day we’d see Oscar in a different place: on a dog bed, stretched out on the couch, or sunbathing on the outdoor beds. Normally, Oscar was the most unsocial little guy, but here we’d often see him making friends and spending time with his favorite senior buddies. The price is also an amazing deal compared to Rover. We’ve had past experiences with Rover sitters where cancellations or other issues disrupted our plans. With Raquel & Marcus, it’s the opposite: they give plenty of notice if they’re not available and even try to schedule personal vacations outside of peak holiday periods. On top of that, they were always diligent about following instructions to administer the many medications our senior Oscar needed. Lastly, every stay ends with a sweet touch: they give you a printed picture of your dog to take home. We always looked forward to adding the new photo to our fridge. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We highly recommend letting your senior dog vacation with Raquel & Marcus and make some new friends.

  Raquel and her team at Senior Dog BNB exceeded every expectation we had. Our sweet Luna Bean battles kidney disease, so leaving her behind while we traveled was something we approached with heavy hearts and a lot of anxiety. From the moment we entrusted her to their care, our worries melted away. We were given thoughtful daily updates and photos that not only reassured us but showed us something incredible — our girl blossoming. We watched her go from a timid, uncertain Lab to a bright-eyed, joyful pup who clearly felt safe, loved, and understood. Finding Senior Dog BNB was more than just finding a place for Luna to stay; it was finding a team who treated her like family. For that, we will always be grateful.
