Doggy Day Care in Castro Valley

“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!”

“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.”

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.”

Izumi O.

“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!”

Kari M.

“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.”
