“Emily is wonderful. She took such good care of my puppy and took the time to send me videos, photos and updates. They went for walks and my puppy had so much fun playing with her dog. I am very happy and grateful to have found someone I can trust with my little guy and I know he can’t wait to visit again.”
“Baxter had a great day with Kim and her human and dog crew. :) She sent pics with fun commentary several times (much appreciated -- especially on the first day!. Baxter was wiped out in the evening after a day of play. Kim is clearly a pro at dog care. She was very engaged in our meet and greet and asked lots of good questions. She's very pleasant to chat with and communicates proactively. Looking forward to Baxter's next stay!”
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.
About: I've grown up with dogs and cats my whole life! I've recently adopted a new cat, Beef, who is a darling. I have experience birthing and raising puppies. I love bringing my dogs for walks, hikes, runs and playing fetch. I'm always active because I'm a college athlete. I'll make sure to take great care of your family animals while you're away and provide them lots of love, attention and activity! I'm a college student home for the summer, taking online summer classes. I have plenty of time to care for animals! I stay very active throughout the day so I have the capacity to walk, run and play with the animals. I'm able to be very attentive with animals because I'm close to home often. I have two fenced yards with plenty of room for dogs! Lots of toys, balls, extra leashes and bowls! I have dogs of my own that can either be socialized or separated from your pets. I live near a park and like to take the dogs out.
“This was the first time I brought Charcoal with Rosa, she is kind and at the end of each day it was seen that Charcoal had been comfortable. Rosa answered messages quickly and sent photos of our dog. Of course I would take Charcoal with her again. She also speaks Spanish which was a plus.”
“Tamara is the best dog sitter that my puppy has ever had! She’s super responsive, genuine, and makes you feel very comfortable when watching your fur baby. When my puppy stayed the night, Tamara sent lots of pictures and videos to let me know how he was doing every step of the way. And when day sitting, Tamara took my puppy on a long hike to get him exercise. He also got along very well with her super friendly dog, Finn! Thanks so much Tamara for keeping my puppy Kali in good care. I really appreciate you!”
“Thank you so much for being able to take in Ozzy and Sansa so last minute. They seem to have had a great time and were really excited when they got to come back for a second day!”
“Jamie was terrific! My anxious pup fell asleep in her care the first visit which is always such a relief to see! Pick up and drop off were easy. Excellent and clear communication. Thank you! Will book again :)”
“We have a really shy/sensitive mini-Aussie doodle who’s nervous around new people. Anchisa and her partner Michael were so so kind to let us visit with them before booking to “test the waters”. We were so genuinely surprised at how quickly our pup settled in! We’ve already booked for a second sitting session! Thanks so much ❤️”
“Baxter has stayed Andrea and her pups twice for daycare, with hopefully more days to come! Andrea has a gentle, kind spirit and seems very attuned to a dog's needs. At our meet & greet, she asked great questions about Baxter and his routines. She provided fun updates with pics a few times a day -- much appreciated!”
“Didem was amazing! She was able to help me watch Lottie with a day’s notice. She also kept me posted on all things Lottie and really wanted to understand her the best she could to make her comfortable. Lottie usually takes a while to warm up to new people, but Lottie warmed up to her almost immediately. I know she had a great time with Didem! I will definitely be reaching out to Didem in the future! Thank you so much for watching Lottie! :)”
“VJ and Matthew took amazing care of my dog Willa! They were so communicative and sent lots of pictures and videos. Willa seemed to have a great time with their dogs and feel comfortable despite her anxiety. Will definitely be booking again!”
“Jalen was amazing with our puppy! We needed a last minute baby sitter and Jalen was quick to accommodate! He would consistently send photo updates of the puppy. He also made sure to give our energetic pup enough attention so that he could sleep easy at night. I would definitely recommend jalen if you are looking for services!”
“Alejandra is a fantastic sitter! We picked up our little girl happy and jolly after a day with her. I cannot thank her and her husband enough ❤️ she sent constant photos ,videos and updates throughout the day. Also, their puppy Nemo is adorable and so very friendly. If you want to have piece of mind about your dog knowing they'll be safe while having a great time, Alejandra is your sitter!”
“Asha has been amazing with my pup, Rahi. She communicates super well and genuinely loves dogs. I get pictures and videos through the day and I’m so much at peace leaving my Rahi with her. Highly, highly recommend!!”
“Sydney treated my dog as her own. Her space for them is lovely and she is kind and very accommodating to pets needs. I would bring my senior dog here again for sure ! Highly recommend”
“Sean was great on the communication and my pup and I were really happy to stay with him! Would definitely recommend Sean as your neighborhood dog sitter :)”

We had an awesome experience doing doggy daycare with Lily! Our dog Zella took to her immediately and we could tell she was in good hands. Zella came home happy and tired from all the fun walks and adventures Lily took her on. We’ll definitely book again and are happy to recommend her!
I’m amazed at how quickly our puppy warmed up to Kelly. Her home truly felt like a home away from home. For us, Kelly was peace of mind. She has the perfect setup to keep our Miles safe, comfortable, and happy, in that order. We also got so many wonderful updates, photos, and videos. We will absolutely be rebooking.
Super pleased- Jonathan stepped up & accepted our dog sitting at the last minute- after our other dog sitter fell through. Absolutely appreciate the videos & pictures of our boys - Thank You Jonathan for taking care of our boys- I would recommend Jonathan & definitely use his service again .. 👍
Tamara was very accommodating for a last mintue reservation. We appreciated her flexibility. Calliope takes a little extra care to win her over--Tamara did an excellent job. Tamara's pup Sidney got along great with our pups. I would highly recommend her she is warm and caring and knows her stuff when it comes to dogs.
Caitlin and Chris took such great care of Ellie, and they provided just the right number of updates/photos so we never had to worry or wonder how she was doing in their care. They were attentive to her needs and paid attention to our care instructions. Ellie came home a happily tired out pup after her day playing and cuddling with them!
Sydney is caring and a dog and cat mom herself. She can keep your pet totally separate from her animals in her studio garage that has been converted to a pet suite for multiple day stays. There's a loveseat and plenty of floor space. She has a small rear patio area for sniffing and potty breaks. She is happy to take short or long walks with your dog and can do hills. Stella feels safe with Sydney and that means the world to me as I am at work all day.
As a first time Rover user, we hit the jackpot with Juliana and Katherine. It was our pup’s first experience at daycare (he thought it was a play date); and he had so much fun and adventure. He was so excited to go the next day that he pulled me up the stairs to their house. He had two sweet pups to play with and a fun yard to explore. Juliana was very attentive and shared pictures; I didn’t have any worries. Highly recommend!
It was last minute searching for a dog sitter. Dacyl responded my request pretty quickly and invited my dogs to meet her dog before I decided. She was very sweet with Jet and Luna and sent me several photos and messages. They had a great time with her. Thank you, Dacyl!
Emerson and his family were great sitters for Bernie. Communication was strong, he even sent pictures and a video to let me know how things were going. We meet the day before so that they would be familiar to my dog. It was a good match from the very beginning. We will definitely use them again.
