Dog Boarding in East Palo Alto

“Marivel took all the extra steps to make sure my senior dog was feeling okay. She's communicative and thoughtful. I highly recommend Marivel!”

“They were both so awesome and helpful. Extremely organized, they had a checklist to make it easier to be sure that everything was packed. They went above and beyond, grooming my long haired poodle, giving her a cute bandana and a packet of goodies. Ana, my dog, had a great time, and I can't say enough good things.”

“MinJun and Mi Ran took great care of Lava during his stay. He can be a fussy eater sometimes, and they were very patient with him, trying different options and making sure that he didn’t go hungry. They took him out on walks and kept me updated with photos and videos! They even took him out for a drive and arranged a play date too! He came back home very happy!”

“Jodie & Zhuxi took amazing care of Kohi! They had excellent communication and sent lots of pics & videos to update us on his stay. Will definitely use them again!”

“Our dog seemed to really enjoy her stay at Sid’s home. The front and back yards were very dog friendly. Sid’s dog, Plato, was a cute and enjoyable companion for their yard adventures. Sid followed our instructions and sent us daily updates which we found very reassuring. Looking forward to the next visit!”

“Thank you for taking such great care of Carmelo! I loved the photos throughout the visit and really appreciated all the communication. It looked like he had an awesome time with your family!”

“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!!”

“Lavanya is very good with dogs, and took great care of our dog. She shared multiple updates with photos and videos throughout the stay. She far exceeded our expectations, moving her schedule around to make sure that our dog got enough playtime with her dog. Would certainly go back.”

“Kendall and family provided a great home-away-from-home for our dog, Ruby, while we were on vacation. We enjoyed our vacation, guilt-free, knowing that Ruby was having lots of fun playing with Kendall’s dog, Moon, going on walks, lounging around as she pleased and having a great family around to socialize with. Kendall provided frequent updates and photos and we couldn’t be more thankful. We recommend Kendall to anyone looking for dog boarding and definitely plan on booking again. Thank you!”

“I would recommend Ana and Mark to anyone who is looking for reliable and kind people to care for their pets. .  I absolutely trust them with my dog, Buck, while I am away from home. I have a peace of mind knowing that they are in good hands. They are trustworthy people and I love the picture updates. I am very pleased. Scarleth Waddell, Buck’s mom”

“Blake was amazing at caring for my pup! He sent several pics throughout the day and let me know how my pup was doing!! Super happy with Blake!!”

“Olga watched our dog Pete for 10 days, and during his stay she sent me daily pics and updated me on how he was settling in. They went on regular walks and had lots of outside playtime! He was so happy there, and I could tell he really bonded with Olga. She took such good care of my little guy, and we will definitely use her services again! ❤️”

“Stephen is very responsive and provided great care to Snow while we were away. We believe Snow had a wonderful time hanging out with Stephen and his family. We were delighted to learn that Snow loves to sunbathe with Stephen's dog. It's great to know our pet had a fantastic time while we were gone.”

“I forgot to leave the review of Oreo's stay last summer. He had a happy and relaxing time with Nina and Leo's full attention! They are so nice and professional that I can feel Oreo's in good hands. Highly recommend!”

“Tracy looked after our dog for more than a week while we were away and she did an amazing job! She provided regular updates with photos, showing our furry family member going on walks, playing, and receiving lots of cuddles. It was comforting to know Luna was in such caring and capable hands.”

“Spectacular care and attention to detail! My dog had a great time and I got regular updates about his weekend stay. We're very satisfied and so grateful for the care he received.”

“Bowie had an amazing time with Chris & Minjoo! He loved playing with Pretzel and we enjoyed getting all the video and photo updates. He came home a tired and very happy puppy. Thank you for taking such good care of our Bowie!!”

“Jifu and his wife took very good care of our dog for 4 nights. He was fed on time and per our requests. Daily updates and photos. They even put a tag on his harness to be extra cautious. Their dog Joky is also super friendly. I hope that we can book them in our next trip!”

“Junyoung was great! She was kind, sweet, and very caring. Our dog is a senior rescue with some separation anxiety issues, but Junyoung handled her like a pro. I would definitely use her again as our dog’s Rover!”

“Richard is a sweetheart and a great pet dad. His dog is friendly and his cat is exceptionally tolerant! He took care of our dog at his house like she was his own. We will definitely use Richard again!”
