“Always such a wonderful stay with Megan and Jenny! We only had one visit before this one and our pup pulled me to their door from the car. Receiving pics throughout the day was so reassuring and sweet. Thank you ❤️”
“Kristen and Ryan were very welcoming of our pup! They were understanding of her nuances and helped her adjust to a new environment fast. They have a nice spacious home with a big backyard that our dog loved relaxing in. Kristen and Ryan were very communicative throughout the stay and sent daily updates with photos. 100% recommend!”
“Derrick took such great care of Roux Roux! 🐾💛 He stayed on top of his medication and feeding schedule, walked him daily, and gave him lots of love and cuddles. He also sent plenty of pictures and updates, which really put me at ease, especially since this was Roux’s first time staying with him. I felt confident knowing Roux was in such good hands. I would definitely recommend Derrick and will absolutely book with him again!”
“Lee was fantastic! She took great care of our elderly dog and was attentive to her every need. We had never left our little pup with anyone but family before but Lee made us feel secure with regular updates and photos. Our dog had a such a great time! It was wonderful to return and see our dog so happy!”
“Kennia watched my sweet Moose for the first time this weekend. She asked questions if unsure about how I would do something (like can he be off leash, etc.) which I appreciated so much! She also sent pictures of Moose to help comfort me while away from him. I’ll absolutely use Kennia again :)”
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and genuinely love caring for them. I have a 8 year old Miniature Pinscher, Norman, who has taught me a lot about patience, routines, and making dogs feel safe and comfortable in their own way. (I don’t have him with me full time) I’m comfortable with dogs of different personalities and energy levels, and I’m happy to follow your pup’s usual routine, whether that means long walks, playtime, plenty of cuddles, or simply keeping them company. I’ll treat your dog like my own and keep you updated while you’re away. I am home in the morning and evenings on the weekdays. I am free to take your pets out on walks every couple hours or as needed. I prioritize safety and trust by maintaining a clean, secure environment for pets. I ensure their routines are followed, provide plenty of playtime and affection, and always keep a close eye on them to prevent any accidents. Your pets will feel comfortable and cared for in my home or yours. I have a fenced in yard as well
“jiajie was a terrific sitter!! The communication was really helpful, as I received lots of photo and video updates. jiajie also gave me a recommendation of pumpkin bites for Bailey's sensitive tummy, which was super useful!”
“They were a treat to work with! I was a little nervous leaving my 6-month-old Australian Shepherd because of how much energy and attention young Aussies require, but they exceeded all expectations. They took excellent care of him during his stay, including taking him on multiple hikes and making sure he got plenty of exercise and enrichment. It was clear when I got home that he was happy, healthy, and well cared for. I really appreciated the level of attention and care they provided, and I would happily recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and loving sitter.”

“I sooooo appreciate Suzanne taking us in last minute when my other sitter plans fell thru. She has a gorgeous house & a very beautiful dog friendly yard. My elderly crew took a couple days to adjust to their new surroundings but Suzanne put me at ease with regular updates & photos. Suzanne is intuitive & observant & she cared for my elderly babies like her they were her own.”
“Sharon is super welcoming, She invited us in to her space for the meet and greet and when we dropped Arl off. Arl has some fear issues and Sharon is very gentle. I highly recommend her care!”
“Melinda was absolutely amazing. When I dropped off my fur baby to her I knew he would be in good hands. She made sure to send me pictures to ease my anxiety I would definitely recommend her”
“Len was fantastic! He took care of our pup Wisco after our last minute change of travel plans for 4th of July weekend. Our dog is older, had just started some medication, and also is afraid of fireworks (so not ideal to be away from home during 4th of July). That said, Len made sure to understand her sensitivities so he could create an environment where she felt safe/comfortable given the holiday weekend. He shared the cutest photos of her while we were away, and we came to a very happy dog. Would absolutely book with Len again.”
“Hikaru & John took amazing care of my fur baby. They asked for all his needs and give him ton of attention. They took him for walks and a hike so he can get his energy out. Appreciate them! And their care for my sweet fur baby. Highly recommend them.”
“Chen is hands down the best sitter! This was our second time booking with him, and we already have a third stay on the calendar. He is incredibly responsive and sends daily updates packed with great photos and videos. It is so easy to see how happy and comfortable my dog is staying with him. Chen takes him on multiple daily walks to the park to keep him active and entertained. I couldn't ask for better peace of mind, highly recommend!”
“Joann is so thoughtful and caring. Following our meet and greet, I felt so comfortable leaving my dog, Clementine, with her and will definitely be doing so again! Clementine has some separation anxiety and Joann went above and beyond to keep Clementine comfortable and was understanding of her quirks. Clementine came home very content and I could ask for nothing more. Highly recommend!”
About: Ever since I was a child, I've had a love and passion for animals. I've had pets in my house for my entire life including dogs big and small, cats, birds, fish, turtles, and even a rooster who thought he was a dog, and started caring for them at the age of 10. I have experience training and raising pets from hatching/birth to rescuing older animals. Your dog will feel loved and pampered with me and get lots of cuddles and belly rubs. My house is in a neighborhood surrounded by safe walking paths and is very pet-friendly. On walks, we'll likely meet lots of other neighborhood furballs and while enjoying the outdoors. I will show your pup so much love so that they will feel safe and happy while their human(s) are away. We have a 7-year-old chihuahua in the house named Jenny. Jenny is a sweetheart who gets along very well with other dogs, children, and humans. I'm a business owner and primarily work from home planning and coordinating events and project management. My schedule out of the house with clients is flexible. If you book me and share your dog's needs, I can make sure that I'm fully available and at home to care for them, take them for walks, etc. I live on a quiet street at the end of a cul-de-sac and have a fenced in yard. We're surrounded by very safe pedestrian walking paths with lots of neighborhood dogs often out for a stroll. I have a 7-year-old chihuahua and a 7-year-old child in the house who are both great with other pets. I'm often told that I have the sweetest and most loving small dog people have ever met, and I attribute that to the love and care I show her and other dogs. I will treat your dog with the same level of love and care that I would if they were my own.
About: I'm based in downtown Oakland and am available to walk (30 or 60 minutes), sit, and/or board any day of the week at this time. I'm experienced with senior dogs, puppies, dogs of various sizes and temperaments, as well medicated pets. I work part time from home with considerable flexibility in my schedule. Dogs have been a part of my life since I raised and trained Herman, a Rottweiler, from puppyhood while I was in high school. As an adult, I fostered Jedi, a Pittie–Boxer mix, for a year and shared eight wonderful years caring for Frankie, my beloved senior puggle, with my partner. Although Jedi and Frankie have recently passed and are now foraging and feasting in heaven, I remain an honorary step-parent to several dogs. Friends have trusted me to walk and care for Esco, a Frenchie–Pittie and lovable bundle of nerves; Mort the pug, an adorable narcissist; Pretzel, a German Shepherd who can outrun and outsmart anyone at the dog park; and Ryordan, a sweet, snaggle-toothed senior Chihuahua. These experiences have made me comfortable caring for dogs of different sizes, ages, energy levels, and temperaments—including anxious and senior pups. I take their walks, meals, playtime, comfort, and naps as seriously as my own. I would love the opportunity to give your pup plenty of attentive, dependable care—and, experience suggests, they’ll soon love me back. I currently have considerable autonomy in my schedule. I'm available to walk, care for, or keep your pup company anytime after 10 AM most days. I live on the ground floor of a Victorian and have small fenced backyard where your dog can sniff around, play, and catch some rays.
“My dog Thisbe seemed to have the best time ever with Robyn and her family during her stay, and I trusted them entirely while I was away. I got frequent photo updates from the large hiking area near their home that they went to once or twice a day, and other updates from her their time at home together. When I picked her up, they gave a thorough update and expressed how much they loved getting to dogsit her -- and it even seemed like Thisbe was sad to leave. I would absolutely recommend leaving your dog with Robyn! Your pup will be safe, happy, well-exercised and well-loved.”

Ashley is WONDERFUL! Our Frenchie is wary of new people and Ashley had Bella eating out of her palm (literally and figuratively) and laying down for belly rubs within the first 5 minutes of our meet-and-greet. Bella was excited to see her a few days later when we dropped her off for 5 days / 4 nights boarding. Ashley sent photos and texts everyday and it was clear how happy and relaxed Bella was with her. Ashley is warm and kind, and was very accommodating of our travel timing. We’re delighted to have found her and will 100% be checking with her first for our future doggie care needs.
We are so grateful to have found Michelle and Mandar and can highly recommend them. We were a little nervous about leaving Chelsea while we went on a 12 day trip overseas. However, as soon as we dropped her off, she was excited to see them and started wagging her tail. (She had stayed with them one night before). This made us feel so much better. We received daily photos and came back to a happy dog. We could tell that they took good care of her. We will definitely book them again next time the need arises.
This was the 2nd time we boarded Kiwi with Astrid. After our first time I was sure that Kiwi would have a great time with Astrid and her family. They took great care of Kiwi once again. I would definitely recommend Astrid and her family for anyone looking to board their fur babies while they are out.
Sharon did a wonderful job caring for our two dogs while we were away for a wedding! She was incredibly accommodating and went above and beyond to make sure our dogs felt comfortable. We requested a meet-and-greet and a doggy daycare session before their stay to help them get familiar with her and the new environment, and Sharon was more than happy to accommodate both. She was easy to communicate with, and we felt completely at ease knowing our fur babies were in her care. Throughout their stay, she provided regular updates on their potty breaks, meals, and how they were doing overall. We truly appreciated her attentiveness and care and would happily book with her again!
Susan is a wonderful & caring person & her passion really shines. This was our first time leaving our pup with a sitter, and for an extended period of time which made us a bit anxious with how our dog would adjust. She communicated thoroughly throughout every step until drop off day and sent updates during the booking. Our girl was so happy at pickup and adjusted quickly to Susan. We trust her with all future needs. Thank you susan!
After moving to Alameda, we feel so incredibly lucky to have found Megan and Jenny to care for our 12-year-old golden retriever. We had a big family event involving multiple nights away, and were so concerned about finding a great person to leave her with. Belle's stay went flawlessly and we so appreciated receiving updates. Belle was treated like a princess and came home so happy!!
My 12-year-old boxer, Sugar Ray, had his first stay with Robyn and her family October 30-November 1, 2026. Her home is exactly suited to his needs -- she has a dog-friendly, securely fenced back yard and also welcomed Shuggy into her house. Her street dead-ends into a municipal open-space preserve where dogs are permitted. He must have bonded with Robyn, because he was reluctant to leave her side when I came to pick him up. Shuggy already has an upcoming weekend booked in her home and I feel completely confident asking her to care for him in the future. I recommend Robyn to you without reservation and with great pleasure.
Leaving our dog while he was recovering from a neck/spine injury was nerve-wracking. Diana went above and beyond to thoughtfully adapted her home and routine to create a calm, safe healing setup tailored to his physical restrictions. When he unexpectedly developed GI distress, she handled it with incredible skill and compassion, staying up with him, managing his hydration, and administering medications seamlessly. Her communication was top-tier, providing thorough, reassuring updates. We are so grateful for the outstanding care she provided.
Suzanne has been our go-to boarder for Charlie through thick and thin, and she always does a fantastic job. She runs a very organized, professional business with a clear focus on structure, communication, and pet safety. It's also a wonderful environment for her doggie guests. You always know exactly what to expect, and she makes sure every detail regarding drop-offs, pickups, and pet routines is handled responsibly. Charlie always comes home happy and well cared for. If you appreciate a dependable, experienced professional who takes pet care seriously, Suzanne is the best.
Big thanks to Nate for watch our Bella. She is a very anxious, aging, but super sweet dog. Nate handled her with so much care. He even went as far as making her a homemade meal to help with her anxiety. This level of care is very much appreciated. We will definitely use him again!
Rosie had an incredible week with Luka and we can't recommend him highly enough! Luka clearly loves and understands dogs, and Rosie connected with him from the first moment of our meet-and-greet. Rosie was in heaven with so much outdoor time, great exercise, and undivided human attention. We loved the photos and daily communication about how their time was going. We're so glad we found Luka as our new go-to dogsitter!
