Janine has boarded our lab multiple times. He is young and energetic, and Janine is wonderful with him. He is super excited to see her and we can tell she has taken great care of him when he comes back. Thank you, Janine!

Our energetic lab stayed with Janine for two weeks. He is young and can be a lot, but Janine was very kind and patient with him, and we could tell he was happy, exercised and well cared for when we got him back! She is also super nice and was very flexible with a last minute change of travel plans due to weather. We d definitely board our dog again with her again.

The best dog events in Castroville

Wag n' Walk
Take your dog for a scenic walk, meet plenty of other like-minded dog owners and their pooches, and raise funds to help end pet homelessness at the same time — that’s the premise of Wag ‘n’ Walk, an annual fundraiser for the SPCA of Monterey County. Setting out from Monterey State Historic Park, this walk helps the SPCA care for more than 5,500 homeless animals each year, with the ultimate goal of one-day ending pet homelessness in the county. Make sure you remember to register for the event so you can raise money and awareness of the excellent work the SPCA does, and then get your pooch ready for a tail-wagging good time!

Strut Your Mutt Costume Party
If your dog loves the limelight, this is the event for her. At the annual Strut Your Mutt Costume Party, your four-legged friend can get dressed up in her cutest, scariest, most creative or simply most fabulous costume, and then strut her stuff in front of a crowd of adoring onlookers. Held at the Haute Enchilada in Moss Landing, this is one costume party where all the outfits are quite fetching. There are cool prizes for the best-dressed dogs and humans, plus food and music to keep the fun going. To enter, you’ll need to make a $25 donation to Peace of Mind Dog Rescue, a Pacific Grove-based rescue group that helps senior dogs and senior people on California’s Central Coast. A good time for a very good cause — what’s not to love?

Feast of Lanterns Pet Parade
The Feast of Lanterns is an iconic event with a history dating back more than 100 years. Held in Pacific Grove during July, this summer festival features a lantern parade to the beach, spectacular fireworks over the bay, and a host of family-friendly festivities. But the highlight for dog lovers is the annual Pet Parade, which is open to dogs, cats, rabbits, turtles, guinea pigs and more. This pet-acular parade starts and finishes in Caledonia Park, and it’s a paw-some opportunity for you to dress your pet in something colorful and creative before showing him off to the world!

Carmel Dachshund Club Wiener Roast
Wild about Wiener dogs? Devoted to
Dachshunds? The Carmel Dachshund Club’s annual Wiener Roast might just be your
dream day out. Held on Carmel Beach each July, this pet-friendly picnic allows
the club’s members, visitors, and guests to enjoy good food, good company, and
gorgeous Dachshunds. It’s a fun day out for the whole family and a summer
tradition for Dachshund lovers throughout the area. Make sure to add it to your diary for next year!
Poodle Day
Poodles are intelligent, loving, and downright beautiful companions, but did you know that this famous breed also has its very own day? Well, now you do, so you’ll have no excuse for missing Carmel’s annual Poodle Day when it arrives again next October. This fun-filled day is designed to unite Poodle lovers and their pets from across the country. Starting the frivolity is with a parade for Poodles, Poodle crosses and their devoted owners. There’s also off-leash beach play, a hike, and even cocktail parties to help you make the most of the celebration. Best of all, proceeds from Poodle Day benefit NorCal Poodle Rescue, which has been helping the region’s Poodles in need for 30 years.
