Doggy Day Care Blackhawk

“We left our 4 month pup with Xue for daycare and she was extremely well looked after. Xue kept me posted through the day with photos, videos and updates on how my pup was doing. Very glad to have found Xue!”

“I will definitely be going back! Bandit LOVED being with them. I knew they’d be good sitters when they walked out and the kids and Shawna had researched my dogs breed (Frisian Stabij) that was an immediate sigh of relief and it only went up from there. They were communicative, sent pictures, and so trustworthy. Would recommend !!”

About: I’m a cat mom currently working from home and would love for your pets to keep us company. With 15 years of experience caring for dogs and cats for friends, neighbors, and pets of my own, I’m familiar with routines—feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, and showering your pet with lots of love and attention ❤️🐾 I have a 1-year-old British Shorthair, so I’m very familiar with cat care, litter box routines, and reading body language. I’ll send regular photo updates so you can relax while you’re away. I also speak Mandarin :) My schedule is flexible and I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and boardings on weekdays and weekends, including mornings and evenings. I’m dependable with timing, quick to respond, and I’ll keep you updated throughout the visit. Safety comes first. I follow your instructions closely, keep pets secure on leash, and double-check doors and gates. I’m careful with feeding rules, routines, and home guidelines, and I keep your space tidy. I’ll send updates and contact you right away if anything seems off.

“Gizela is very nice and helpful. Our doggies really enjoyed her company. We thank her for her help.”

About: I have over 14 years of hands-on experience caring for my Shih Tzu, who has been part of my family since he was a puppy. I understand the patience, love, attention, and daily care pets need to feel safe and comfortable. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, companionship, and caring for senior dogs with extra patience and attention. I have a flexible schedule and am available 7 days a week. I offer boarding and daycare, and I’m happy to provide potty breaks and walks as often as the owner requests. I provide a safe, comfortable, and welcoming home for pets while they’re in my care. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and rest. I give every pet plenty of attention and make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and cared for throughout their stay.

About: I have grown up with dogs most of my life and have experience taking care of cats, rabbits, turtles, and fish. My experience with dogs includes: training, dog walking, and administering medication. I have a 5 1/2 year old mini double doodle named Kota and trained him myself. I pride myself on providing quality animal care and want to make sure your pet is safe and happy during their time with me. Currently I am taking a sabbatical and have plenty of time to take care of your pup! Depending on your preference and your dog's needs, I can provide plenty of physical activity and mental stimulation. I am happy to take care of your pet in your home and do daily walks. Please let me know if your pet is comfortable around other dogs. If they're not, I can easily leave my dog at home while I focus on your pet's needs.

“JP did an amazing job with my husky on a last-minute request, he has a beautiful and safe house and large yard. He sent lots of photos so I could see how my boy was doing and I saw all of the activity he was getting with play time and walks. Their dog Arnold is clearly very friendly and was great company. Will rebook with confidence any time”

“I couldn’t be happier with the care my dog Oreo received! From the moment we dropped him off, it was clear he was in great hands. The updates and photos throughout the day gave me so much peace of mind, and Oreo came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved. Thank you for treating him like family — we’ll definitely book again!”

About: As a dedicated dog parent myself, my unique strengths include senior dog care, dog walking and providing a calm home environment along with custom routines. Pet care is already a core part of my daily rhythm. As a dog parent myself, I start and end most days with walks, so caring for a dog fits naturally into my schedule rather than competing with it. Since I'm currently a homemaker, I have flexible, consistent availability throughout the week — including mornings, midday, and afternoons — which means I can offer reliable, on-time walks rather than squeezing them in around a 9-to-2. I'm looking to build dog walking into a regular part of my week: it keeps me active, gets me outdoors, and lets me connect with neighbors and other pet parents in the community. Because I understand the responsibility of caring for a dog firsthand — from reading their energy level to knowing when they need a slower pace or extra water breaks — I bring the same attentiveness to dogs in my care that I'd want for my own. For dog walking, I focus on safety, routine, and attentiveness. When I arrive at a client's home, I take time to greet the dog calmly and let them warm up to me before heading out, especially on a first visit. During the walk, I keep dogs on a secure leash, follow the pace and route that suits their energy level and age, and stay alert to their body language, other animals, traffic, and weather conditions. I always bring water for longer walks, clean up after the dog every time, and make sure collars, harnesses, and gates are securely fastened before and after each visit. Once the walk is done, I make sure the dog has fresh water available, lock up the home securely, and send the owner a quick update — including photos when I can — so they know their pet is happy and cared for. Because I'm a dog owner myself, I treat every dog in my care the way I'd want someone to treat mine: with patience, close attention, and respect for their individual personality and needs.

“Clara was wonderful and very communicative throughout the whole day with Tofu. You can tell she really truly cares not just for her dog, but every dog. She is very sweet and kindhearted and Tofu had a blast staying with her. She sent me pictures throughout the day as well which I really appreciated and spent lots of time with him. We will be in touch soon again, thank you!!”

About: I grew up with many different types of pets. Currently, my family has a cat (at their home) and I have a dog at my house so I have experience with different personalities and needs. I do work full time, so I am mostly available on weekends and evenings only. But I typically walk my dog 3 times a day and can do the same for another dog in my care. I do have a dog-friendly dog at home so I have toys and treats available (only if I get the OK to feed). I also am active and like to be outdoors so walks will be plenty.

“Gibbler had a blast. He had fun meeting the other dogs and just observing everything in general. He was tired and happy and took a big nap afterward when he got home!”

Sherrie L.

“Anna is literally the best person. She is very responsive and takes care good care of our puppy every time we left with her. She was available more than few times even on a short notice. Her home became a second home for our puppy whenever we go out and we know our puppy is in good hands with her.”

“Rachna has a lot of love for animals. She was very kind and patient to Luma, even when he exhibited anxious barking and whining continuously as it was only his second time with a daycare pet sitter. Although, I had to pick up Luma earlier, I really appreciated Rachna communicating with me and genuinely showed concern for his anxiousness. Hope it works out next time when Luma gets more used to daycare.”

About: I work from home, which means your pet gets something most sitters can't offer: a human who's actually there all day. I do house sitting in your home and drop-in visits across Walnut Creek and nearby areas. I grew up with dogs and cats, have helped friends and family with everything from puppies to senior dogs, and recently welcomed a cat into my own home. I'm comfortable with feeding routines, walks, playtime, and giving medication exactly as you instruct — including pets with special routines or medical needs. Before we start, I'll learn your pet's habits and preferences so the routine doesn't skip a beat. While you're away, you'll get regular photo updates so you can see they're relaxed and happy. I work from home with a fully flexible schedule, so pet care fits around your pet's routine — not the other way around. For house sitting, I'm there through the day and overnight; for drop-ins, we'll lock in visit times before booking so feeding and walks stay consistent. Your home and your pet's routine stay exactly as you left them. Before we start, we'll do a meet-and-greet to cover temperament, medications, feeding, quirks, and emergency contacts. I'm background-checked through Rover, and I'll send photo updates and messages so you're never wondering how they're doing.
