Dog Boarding in East Palo Alto

“This our second time having Fang watch our dog and he is always in great hands. She is very responsive and flexible with our travel. We will continue to book with her”

“Min Jin and Mi Ran were so wonderful to work with and watch Theo. They were incredibly responsive, gave multiple updates with lots of photos (which I greatly appreciated) and were more than willing to spend time to make sure he would eat (as it always takes him a bit to settle into a new routine). They did an absolutely amazing job watching Theo and I would highly recommend them!”

“Margaret is probably the best dog sitter we’ve ever worked with. Let me give some context: our utterly cute dog was adopted in 2020 (pandemic dog) with already deep fear and trauma. We think something happened when she was a puppy that caused deep fear such as abuse or some sort of trauma. Basically, she was afraid of everything and utterly shy. We worked with multiple trainers for almost two years and finally got her to a good place. We learned with time and patience she gets comfortable with strangers and once you’re in her pack. You are there for life. She loves playing with dogs but dog parks would get complicated because other dogs sometimes would teach bad habits or become aggressive (trainers also mentioned things can escalate and certain owners have no control). We also learned she is scared of certain breeds and afraid of cats. But she has an incredible memory and is the smartest dog we’ve ever had. However, most people dog kennels, individuals have zero experience and patience. Given her memory, there are certain vets or dog daycares she will cry and try running away from if we are walking by. The true test of dog unhappiness. Fast forward to 2023, we’ve built trust and loyalty with our baby but the problem is she is still afraid of strangers and the unknown. She is al highly protective of her territory and will start barking (think a stranger walking up to me or a stranger entering our home). We’ve learned methods to make her feel safe and comfortable and ways strangers should approach. Basically it’s hard to find a dog sitter for her than the average dog. Most places are money machines and do not give her the time making her regress. Margaret is beyond words incredible. She knows how to work with all types of dogs including very shy dogs and dogs with behavioral challenges. She has ample experience and genuine care for animals. Also our dog is highly fearful of the breeds: huskies and German shepherds. Margaret has both and was able to get our dog comfortable going out on runs and walks with them. When we came to pick her up she was sad to go and saying bye to both Margaret, her partner John (another amazing human) and all their dogs. She loved all of them from Luma the chihuahua mix that made ours more social to the Willis and Jackson that made her confident to even Jackson who made her feel safe and like a queen. They even were flirting hahaha Never have we left our dog and received so many pictures and saw her so happy. She did not even want to leave when we picked her up and learned new commands in just one week like paw. Our dog even cried while we drove away and loved her new pack. Margaret said she fit right in. If Margaret and John open a doggie daycare, our pup would be there every day because we have never seen her so social and happy while remaining in a safe and controlled space. She was loved, fed like crazy (the way to her heart) but did not gain weight because of all the exercise, games and activities provided by this wonderful couple. Margaret is also an incredible trainer and has so much patience and love. I felt so easy on our holidays with my baby there, did not even think twice. We are beyond proud and since that week with Margaret she is a different dog. Sweeter, calmer and just more confident and trusting. Please open a daycare that this area so desperately needs. One thing- I recognize the price is expensive this was our biggest challenge but they are truly worth it!!”

“Bagheera had very good care with Jess and Kimmy. Their big fenced yard and friendly dog made him comfortable, and he became attached to Kimmy! I will definitely ask them to care for my little sweetie again!”

“Ali was awesome! We booked with another sitter and that arrangement did not work as planned. Ali stepped in with a very short same day notice and was able to take over and provide care for our very energetic puppy. He provided regular updates and communication was easy. More importantly, he took really good care of our dog and we got him back in great shape. Highly recommended and we'll surly be back next time we need care for our dog. Thank you Ali!”

“Chris was wonderful with my dog! He’s gentle and sensitive and takes utmost care of their needs. He would walk him morning evening and share cutest pics every day. It was our first time to drop for this long but can’t thank him enough for making him feel so at home.”

“Marivel took really good care of Mezcal and sent us a lot of updates throughout the stay. She kept him with dogs his size and he enjoyed that a lot. Thank you Marivel for taking care of our lil guy.”

About: We have two 15 year old senior dogs that live with us full time with all their senior shenanigans and trained a puppy a year ago for the in-laws. We also have experience fostering from nearby shelters when we have free time. We are currently working from home so your pet will have plenty of time around a trusted human! At least one of us is at home almost all the time. We have a large fenced front and back yard to allow you fur baby plenty of running room and sun baking time along with our own 2 elderly pups.

“Matthew and Katelyn were amazing! They took such great care of our pup for the night and made everything super easy. They sent updates and photos, and I could tell Coco was having a great time and felt totally comfortable. When we picked him up, he was happy and relaxed. I’m so glad we found them — I’d definitely book again!”

“We love Manli! She is communicative, has accommodated us at the last minute on multiple occasions, sends regular updates, and is fantastic with our pup (who adores her!).”

“Ian was so warm and attentive with my dog. He truly delighted in his company and it was very reassuring to leave knowing he was so well cared for. My dog Wilkie also got along famously with Ian's dog and the two of them played and had the time of their lives throughout his stay. Wilkie can't wait to go back for another Ian stay.”

Andrea W.

“Tillana was incredible! Great communication before, during and after my dogs stay. Awesome photos seeing all of his fun adventures. He looked so happy! Would highly recommend her for boarding your pup. 🐶”

“Our 1-year-old mini Aussie, Woby, had a wonderful time staying with Jifu while we were away for over a week. It was our first boarding experience, and we couldn't have asked for a better home for him. Jifu was incredibly attentive, providing us with constant updates with photos and videos. We were so relieved to see how happy, relaxed and healthy Woby was in their care. He loved running and playing tennis balls in the backyard, and chewing on toys indoors when it gets too hot outside. Jifu's super friendly dog, Joki, was also a great companion. We're so grateful for Jifu's reliability and kindness, and we'll definitely return for future boarding needs.”

“Nina and Leo took great care of Nana! We had a great meet and greet. While they were watching her they provided tons of photos and updates. She was in great hands! We will definitely request them again the next time we need a sitter.”

“Cesar was a wonderful dog sitter and took great care of Turbo over Christmas. He sent two daily updates with photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. Turbo was a happy, well-cared-for good boy, and it was clear he was treated with lots of attention and care. We’d absolutely book Cesar again!”

Yuxi J.

“Jessica is the best! Took really good care of my dog, brought her on nature walks and shared amazing photos of all the fun they had together.”
