“I'm very pleased on how Shuvashna takes care of Nico. She sends me pictures of Nico, and keeps me updated on how Nico is doing. He always has a great time at her house.”

About: I have been providing home-style dog boarding and pet care since 2017, with over 9 years of hands-on experience. I also worked for two years at a professional dog boarding and daycare facility in San Francisco and have experience in animal rescue. I am experienced in caring for dogs of all ages and personalities, especially puppies, senior dogs, rescue dogs, and dogs with anxiety or special needs. What sets me apart is my small, home-based care approach. I only accept 1–2 dogs at a time, which allows me to provide full attention, a calm environment, and truly personalized care for each dog. I am patient and attentive, and I adjust my care based on each dog’s personality to help them feel safe, comfortable, and at home. I stay at home most of the time and have a flexible schedule, so caring for pets is a natural part of my daily life. I take dogs out for walks, feed them, and spend time with them every day. I only accept a small number of dogs so I can give each pet plenty of attention and care. Home-style care in Castro Valley. Only 1–2 dogs at a time, never more than a small pack — so every visitor gets personal attention and a calm, consistent routine. Quiet indoor spaces to nap, multiple walks outside each day, and free meet-and-greets before any stay. I've been caring for dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs and more since 2018 and specialize in small and medium dogs under 45 lb.
“Harper was an incredible find for us, and we couldn't be more grateful! This was our first time using the Rover app, and we were in a bit of a bind. A family member who usually puppy-sits our young Chihuahua had to cancel last minute, leaving us scrambling for a solution. Enter Harper. After finding the app and seeing her glowing reviews, we booked her on ultra-short notice. The drop-off was pretty hectic—our little pup was already stressed out from the sudden change, and poor Harper had to step in under less-than-ideal circumstances. But she handled it like a pro! When we picked him up, he was completely calm and relaxed—a huge testament to Harper’s care and patience. She had taken him on a walk to the park and made sure he felt safe and happy. We’re beyond impressed with her professionalism and warmth. Harper has our highest recommendation, and we’ll definitely be turning to her again in the future!”

“Absolutely love having my guys stay with Cindy! She’s great with communicating and sending photos throughout the day. My guys always seem happy going and when I pick them up.”

“Kyuupi had an amazing time with Angélica and her family. She was very communicative and sent a lot of update pictures and videos. I would definitely consider them again!”

“I like the fact that my dog is well treated and she is comfortable at their house. When my dog didn’t want to a long walk, Christina let her stay their backyard and let her enjoy under the sun.”

“Yonkyu was great! My dog is a senior dog, gets a little nervous but I could tell she was in good hands. Received pictures that made me feel at ease. Easy to find, friendly and my dog was well cared for. Thank you!😊”

About: I have experiences with Senior care and basic training for puppies. I watch their body languages carefully to know when to pause a play and what they need from me :) Leia and I usually go for a walk in the morning, around 5 in the afternoon and quick bathroom break before going to bed. I work from home most of the time so id love to help to care for another dog so they’re not depressed alone at home whole the parents are off to earn money for their their pawbills 😝 I help to care for friends dogs when they need and I feed them together but separately so they don’t get food aggressive. I also monitor toys so it doesn’t create fights. Because I have Leia, I know the struggle and guilt feelings when you have vacation planned and need to leave the pup. I try my best to give lots of updates and pics so the humans can enjoy their time away as well.
“Natalia is a great care giver to my dog. She walked my dog for a long time which my dog loved and enjoyed accompanying to my dog. I’ll ask her again. I would appreciate more pics if I could ask. Overall, she is great.”

“Our dogs loved being with Jenna. When we dropped them off, they ran to the door and scratched to get in. They have a safe yard and lots of comfy couches. We will definitely be using them again!”

“Tatiana walked my dog three times while staying at her house and gave her good exercises. She let my dog playing at the park and hanging out with her ground children. I’m sure that my dog had a good time. She also took good care of her by checking her food, trying to feed her until she got enough. She is a good walker and caregiver as well. I’m happy and comfortable to leave my dog with her.”

“Charles is great with taking care of Mini. He cares about Mini and give great updates on what Mini did during the day. Great people to talk to and Mini seams be really happy.”

Taty and Lenin are amazing sitters for Oreo. They are kind, communicative, & keep him active so when I’m home from work, he’s happy and calm. They’ve been very mindful of what he eats, walking him, training, as well as trying to get him to be less scared of.. well.. everything! 😅 I began booking them everyday in at work to ensure Oreo is well loved. I highly recommend these two wonderful human beings for anyone’s fur baby.

I had a great experience with Yonkyu through Doddy Care. Yonkyu was incredibly attentive, reliable, and genuinely caring throughout the entire time. Their professionalism stood out right away -they were punctual, well-prepared, and made sure to understand specific needs. What really impressed me was their patience and warmth. Yonkyu created a comfortable and positive environment, which made a big difference. I would absolutely recommend Yonkyu to anyone looking for dependable and compassionate care! PS: Piku used to be super excited to meet Yonkyu everyday

I booked with Shuvashna for doggy daycare at her house and the process was so seamless! Shuvashna was communicative and kind enough to send pictures and videos of my puppy playing with friends throughout the day. She is definitely someone I would trust with my pup again and will be rebooking in the future.

Absolutely the best sitter we’ve found! I was nervous leaving my dog for the first time, but Jalen completely put me at ease. My pup came home happy, tired, and clearly well-loved. His place is clean, safe, and dog-friendly you can tell he genuinely enjoys having dogs around, not just as a side gig. He was flexible with drop-off, responsive to messages, and even noticed a small thing with my dog’s behavior and mentioned it to me. That kind of attentiveness is rare. We’ve already booked him again. If you’re on the fence, don’t be as your dog is in great hands.

Jenna is amazing. We left our little Frankie there for a few hours today, our first time leaving him with anyone. We received photos and a video while we were away. He even started to whimper as we buckled him in to the truck as we left her house. We will definitely be using Jenna’s care again. She has experience with animals who need extra TLC so after our little guys hip surgery we will be leaning on her for some extra help! Highly recommend!!!

Harper and Leo were amazing! They took care of my dog last minute while my husband and I went to a hockey game, and it gave us so much peace of mind. Knowing our dog was in a safe and caring place made it so much easier for us to enjoy our night. If you’re looking for a trustworthy and loving place for your pup in San José, this is definitely a great option. Highly recommend!

Jocelyn was such a wonderful dog sitter for Missy. I had a last‑minute meeting come up and needed someone within less than 24 hours, and she replied right away and was incredibly accommodating. She kept me updated with photos of Missy throughout the day, which I really appreciated. I would absolutely book with her again—Missy seemed so comfortable with her and adjusted right away. Thank you again, Jocelyn!

Miriam was very attentive to our Bailey and kept a close eye on her, keeping in communication with me and paying great attention to her and her needs, as she has anxiety, arthritis and other age-related conditions. Very grateful to Miriam for her availability, openness and good care!
