Dog Boarding in Castro Valley

“I am so lucky to have found Olivia! My girl Ruby is a Doberman pinscher and can be quite needy. Olivia does so great in showing Ruby love and attention! I appreciate her sending photos and little updates while I am away. Thank you so much Olivia! Ruby is excited to come back!”

“Mary was a phenomenal cat boarder! We’d never boarded our cats before and Mary allayed all our worries. She is very knowledgeable and experienced with cats and has a wonderful space set up for the ones she’s boarding. We received multiple, thoughtful updates and pictures on the cats each day and Mary reached out when there was information about their care that we had forgotten to provide. She also went above and beyond spending time hanging out and playing with them. We highly recommend Mary and will certainly rebook with her the next time we need to board our cats!”

“Arryonna was so communicative and responsive. Really easy to book and sent photo updates every day. Provides great care while being so easy going. Very grateful!”

“Second time booking with Izzy and still the best experience! In fact, our situation was extremely fluid so we really appreciated his flexibility in changing plans and having to pick up our pup, Strudel. Thank you again for being a second family to our fluffy one. We are eternally grateful.”

“Shuvashna is awesome! She took great care of Spike. We had our first meet and greet and Spike instantly clicked with Shuvashna and her husband. I knew right there that he is in good hands. Her regular updates through photos and videos are such a bliss. Thanks for all you do Shuvashna!”

“We were looking for a new sitter because our usual sitter was unavailable for an upcoming trip. At the meet and greet with Robin, we were worried when Shamu barked every time she got up and walked around. It always takes time for our cautious dog to warm up to new people. Robin suggested that Shamu stay with her to make certain that they would get along. Wow, we were surprised by the glowing reports and Robin told us that Shamu was a gentleman! Robin and Daniel's loving ways won over our little dog. We are looking forward to using them again.”

“Lula's second stay with Angélica was just as good as her first. She felt right at home and we received plenty of updates and photos of her having a great time. Thank you again, Angélica!”

“Our two puppies stayed with Robert for a week while we were on vacation. Robert sent pictures and videos daily. Both dogs were clearly well cared for and happy. We will definitely have Robert watch them again in the future.”

“Harper was our first dog sitter for our 6 month old puppy Mac, and she was amazing! I really appreciate how Harper kept us updated throughout the day with photos and videos. Thank you Harper! 100% rebooking with you next time!”

“Tracey was super communicative and cared for Leo well. She has a great set up and nice neighborhood for dogs, and her 2 boxer buddies were so friendly. Would definitely book again!”

Shina R.

“My dogs had the best time with Jenna and Kristen. They’ve got a nice backyard for the dogs to play, they don’t take in too many dogs at a time, the place is secure and no fast traffic outside. Jenna and Kristen shared pictures and videos throughout the day. I also appreciated they were honest in sharing when my dogs ate and when they didn’t. They also managed my dog’s medications well. One of my dogs had the best playmate there and it was clear that she had a blast the entire time. We’ll definitely be back.”

Shruti K.

“I absolutely love Cindy. This was my first time leaving Bentley with a boarder and I was a little nervous. Cindy made sure I had plenty of pictures to show me how Bentley was doing daily. Bentley (and me) are looking forward to hanging out at Cindy's again soon. 😊”

Tonya H.

“This is like Copper’s second home now. He feels so comfortable being over there that he gets excited when we turn into their neighborhood. We are truly grateful for this relationship and trust Ching and her family to take good care of our pet.”

Stacy B.

“Ellie had an amazing time with Natallia. She took notes of all my instructions and paid extra attention to things that Ellie is a little bit shy of doing or eating. I definitely would trust Natallia to take care of my dog again!”

Peng Y.

“Laura was absolutely amazing. I had a last minute event I needed to attend so when I found Laura was local and had availability for a last minute boarding appointment I read the other reviews and decided to book with her. Nala was very well taken care of. Laura sent updates and photos throughout the day. My dog also takes heart medication so it was important to find someone that was comfortable with an older dog as well as one that has to take medication. If you are looking for someone you can trust and who will treat your fur baby like family I would highly recommend Laura.”

About: I’ve always been passionate about caring for animals, and I understand what it means to entrust your pet to someone else. Pets aren’t just animals — they’re family. As the devoted owner of a Shih Tzu, I specialize in caring for smaller breeds. I understand their unique needs, from their delicate nature to their often “big” personalities, and I know how important it is to find a sitter you can truly trust with your pet. I’ve become the go-to sitter for friends and family because they know I prioritize safety, consistency, and genuine affection. Whether it’s an energetic walk, a fun play session, or simply providing a calm and comforting presence for a more anxious pup, I tailor my care to each dog’s individual personality and needs. I can cater to your pet throughout the day with walks, feeding, playtime, bathroom breaks, and supervision as needed. I aim to keep their routine consistent as possible. Since my husband is also available to step in and help, you can have peace of mind knowing that someone will always be right there to watch over your pet. I would love the opportunity to provide your pet with the same attention, patience, and care that I give my own. Your pet will be cared for in my home in a safe, calm, and comfortable environment, with frequent updates so owners feel confident while they're away.

“I was very pleased with the care my dog received from Kendal. I would definitely use her again and recommend her to family or friends.”

“Ari is super friendly and welcoming. Bella enjoyed interacting with him. Thank you so much Ari for taking great care of her while I was away! You are amazing!”

“My dog was very comfortable and happy during his stay. They are very friendly and I wasn’t worried about the care of my dog. He came home happy. I recommend them for dog sitting and will use their services again in the future.”
