“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! :)”

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.

“I boarded my dog Tilly with Patrick for a couple of weeks while traveling and she did very well. I was glad that Patrick had a dog with Sophie that Tilly could get along with. Tilly was always in a good mood when we picked her up.”

“Jenny was an excellent doggy day carer, and we’re already think about when to book her next. Excellent communication, and a delight to deal with!”

“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!”

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.

“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 :)”

Cyan B.

“If you're anything like me, the guilt of being away at work all day weighs on me, but knowing that instead, my fur-baby is now getting tons of attention, pets, walks, and love puts my mind at ease. Getting cuddles from Van Joseph and Matthew, the company of their sweet little dogs, and soft blankets to sleep in is priceless! I got so many precious photos which brightened my day! Overjoyed to have found Van Joseph and Matthew to care for my sweet girl Petunia!!”

Amy M.

“Great experience!! Maisie was excited to go every morning and came home happy and tired. Lots of pictures and video of walks and play sent every day. Rosa is very knowledgeable about dogs and training. I was VERY impressed. AND she was so accommodating with my very early and lengthy surgery work schedule. I will book again and highly recommend her!! 🐾🌟”

Catherine G.

“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!”

Jennifer K.

“Maya is a wonderful dog sitter & human! She took such good care of my senior dog, especially after I told her about some recent health issues he’s experiencing. She kept a close eye on him, keeping him super safe & keeping me updated throughout the day. Thank you so much Maya, for loving my baby and keeping him safe!”

Carly D.

“Alejandra is the best! Lou loves hanging out with her and Nemo. We feel very grateful that he is safe and has fun when he is in Alejandra’s care.”

“Azar was great with the coqui! She’s so nice and easy to coordinate with. We met beforehand and it was clear she loves dogs, so I was comfortable with her caring for coqui. She sent some pics of him couch lounging and took him on a bunch of walks. I would definitely have him hang with her again.”

Dawn L.

“Charlene was very responsive and shared pics of Lulu throughout the day. She has a great back yard and rooms in her house for dogs to play and hang out in. We appreciated that she took Lulu for 4 long days at short notice.”

Harp D.

“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!”

“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!!”
