“Without hesitation I give Radha 5 stars! She treated Mika like family as soon as she arrived. She sends pictures and videos which really put my anxieties to rest. I’m looking forward to sending her back soon.”


About: I’ve been around dogs all my life, but became a full-time dog owner about five years ago when I adopted Maggie—a playful mix of American Bully, German Shepherd, and Border Collie. Since transitioning to working from home, I’ve also begun caring for friends’ dogs, often hosting one or two alongside Maggie. She enjoys the company, but I always make sure dogs are introduced thoughtfully before committing to overlapping stays. I’m comfortable caring for dogs with special needs, including those who are reactive. My home and yard provide a calm, controlled environment that supports a wide range of temperaments. I’ve also cared for cats in the past, though we don’t host them due to household allergies. We live in a single-family home with an enclosed backyard and minimal street traffic, located near several parks—including an off-leash dog park. I’m home all day, and dogs in my care enjoy walks, backyard play, and plenty of social stimulation. During work hours, they usually entertain themselves with communal toys and one another’s company, and I schedule walks based on the routine we agree on in advance. No crating is used in our home unless specifically requested. My partner and I love having animals in the house, even if they’re not ours—and we look forward to welcoming yours. I work from home full-time, so I’m available to care for your pup just about any time during the week. Whether it’s a mid-morning walk, afternoon playtime, or all-day companionship, your dog will have plenty of attention and care. I’m generally unavailable on weekends, as I’m usually out on family adventures with my own dog, Maggie. I host pets in my home during the workweek while conducting business from my home office. Dogs in my care get plenty of attention, playtime, and walks throughout the day. I live in a single-family home with an enclosed backyard (though I don’t leave dogs unattended outside), and I’m walking distance from multiple parks, including a fenced dog park. Dogs are free to roam indoors and play with communal toys, and I structure walks and feeding according to the owner’s routine. I also take care to introduce new dogs to my own pup, Maggie, and to any other visiting pets before committing to overlapping stays—ensuring everyone is set up for a good experience. I do not offer in-home care at a client’s house at this time—my services are focused on hosting dogs in a calm, dog-friendly home environment during the week.

“Yukon is an amazing host! We couldn't have asked for anything more. She took great care of our Lady bug. Gave us timely updates with pictures after walks, meals, and poo breaks.

“My dog Brie had a return stay with Lauren. Brie is 16.5 yo and requires a little more attention from her last visit. It was nice how Lauren made sure she understood the latest developments and I felt very comfortable leaving Brie with her once again. Lauren sent photos and nice captions throughout the stay which showed how relaxed and right at home Brie was. Thanks Lauren!”

About: I am a responsible and caring teacher off for summer break. My 3 year old bernedoodle is very friendly and loves to play with all types of dogs. He is very sweet and never aggressive. I have many years of experience as a pet owner and have watched various friends' dogs for short visits and overnight trips. I am flexible with my schedule until mid-August and can accommodate most requests Monday-Friday. Morning, afternoons, and evenings are all usually available.

About: Hello! My name is Niamh, I’m an Irish girl living in the Bay. One of the main things I miss from home is being surrounded by animals. I grew up volunteering in animal shelters, stables and working part-time in a veterinary clinic. As well as caring for my own many pets. I promise to look after your pets as if they are my own, ensuring the highest level of care and attention possible whether they need heavy medical care, or a fun check in every few hours! From large dogs, my main experience comes from Great Danes, Pit Bulls and Rhodesian Ridgebacks, all the way to Shih-Tzu’s and Pomeranians I promise to treat them all the same and make sure they enjoy themselves on our adventures throughout the day, whether they are more relaxed or want to play non stop all needs and wants will be catered to! I look forward to meeting you and your babies, happy to do an interview with them to see how they feel most importantly. I work almost fully remotely, so can fit my schedule around your pet. I am an early riser and walk a lot so can ensure your pet gets out and about and burns off some energy I can come to you and care for your pet in your home, or keep them at my house. Which is in Berkeley and we will have lots of parks and walks to look forward to in a safe space 🤗
