WELCOME TO BONZAI'S BARK!
A Small Dog Haven & Resort
Where lil dogs, under 20 lbs. are range free in a natural park like and home ambiance. Stress-free of facilities, cages, overcrowding, or too large a playmate. Here pups run fancy-free, socialize, explore, basque in the sun or sit under shady trees at their leisure in a safe, clean, and healthy environment. The manicured lawn, garden and dog friendly areas are all gated in and the sidewalks are covered so not to burn tender paws on hot desert days. At night the closed in patio can be accessed 24/7 through a dog door to our cool, comfortable & converted doggie master suite full of clean blankets, fresh water and beds to snuggle.
Or we can get even cooler and play inside in the large A/C play room on hot summer days. Treats are at 12 & 3pm and meals are at 8:30am & 5:00pm. And there are individual cubbies for each guest’s food and personal belongings. BonZai’s Bark lets pup parents get away without the worry.

In 2001 I found my soulmate in a 3 week old puppy named BonZai and my life changed forever! This site and business is dedicated to him and other lil pups like him.
BonZai's Mom: Growing up, my parents raised me to respect all animals, and to treat ours like family. My first job at 13 was taking care of neighbors pets while they went on vacation, over holidays, business travel, etc. I knew then I was good with animals, and animals liked me! I would help anything wounded or post-op and volunteered at the Malibu Wildlife Center with wild and feral animals to rehabilitate them and re-release in the wild.
After college I went into the corporate world of stress, and traveled long trips leaving BonZai in the care of others, along with a 3" binder of instructions of his likes and dislikes. I hated leaving him in a kennel or at a vet as I knew he would be anxious and unhappy. I was so overly worried they would lose him, hurt him by accident, and other horrible nightmares. Luckily nothing ever bad happened, however it taught me not everyone or facility is cut out to take care of others pets. It takes a certain atmosphere, personality, dedication, patience, and continued education to understand the psychology behind an animals behavior, signs of stress or discomfort and positive reinforcement along with healthy habits.
When BonZai passed in 2015, I realized my calling was to care for pets when parents are away or in need of day care. I understand the need to feel good about leaving my pup in a non-threatening environment and in a professionals care. As well as the need to be able to travel without the guilt of leaving one of my family behind.
Therefore, I make it my priority to assure, and individualize your pets specific needs as well as provide a clean, cage-free playful HOME environment. I take great pleasure and pride in hosting your pet and seeing them have fun playing, eating and sleeping in a SAFE, happy and healthy home environment.
I love all pets as if they were BonZai himself!
