Dog Boarding Golden Gate

“Mariola took wonderful care of our dog while we were out of town on vacation. Her home setting for a few small dogs worked out well for our small, sweet, and shy cavapoo. We appreciated the periodic updates she provided about our dog during our trip as well.”

“Thank you Marlene for your terrific care of Raver! He had a great overnight with you and we're grateful for your warmth, clear communication and professionalism. We'll reach out to rebook for sure! Thanks again.”

“Danielle and Joel are fantastic dog sitters. I truly cannot recommend them enough. They bring me so much peace of mind everytime I leave my little pup with them.”

“Hey and her husband were amazing hosts to Bowser. They took great care of him and he came back happy as always. Would love to have him watch Bowser again.”

“Latricia was amazing! Sent me pictures everyday to ensure my pup was safe and happy, and gave great feedback about his behavior when I picked him up. I will definitely trust her with my pup again!”

“Matthew & VJ took excellent care of my little cuddle bug Roux. He was actually smiling in all the photos. I felt so much ease leaving him there and they communicate & send pics of him all night. Will definitely use again.”

“This was our 4th booking with Anthony and Nikita. We know that our dog will get loving, careful care, and there will be daily updates and photos. It's a weight off our minds to know he's in good hands.”

Lin L.

“Dylan and Mariana were amazing! They kept my dog for 10 nights and she loved it! I received multiple pictures and videos and they taught her fetch. I will use them again!”

“Mary is absolutely incredible. Our dog, Finn, is a quirky senior who is often slow to trust strangers - within 24 hours of being with Mary, he was asking her for pets and cuddles! That tells you all you need to know. She was extremely communicative, sent us lots of cute pictures and overall left us so at ease knowing our little guy was cared for. Can’t recommend her enough!”

“Chen and his family did a wonderful job taking care of Ume for the week. It was a last minute trip for me, so I was grateful for the quick response and many wonderful updates. He sent professional looking photos of my dog on their walks and daily routine. If you're looking for a dog sitter who will follow your dog's routine and communicate regularly, Chen's your dog sitter. His daughter was there to translate as well and that was helpful in person. I have already booked them for my next trip.”

About: I have been caring for dogs and cats since childhood and deeply love connecting with animals. I supported my last dog through her later years and have sensitivity to the needs of elder puppies. I also enjoy the energy of younger dogs and live right near San Pablo park for dogs who like to socialize. I mostly work from home with occasional in person meetings during the week. I am available for pet care throughout the week and can let dogs out to the back yard throughout the day. I live in a quiet but lively neighborhood with lots of great areas to walk and sniff. The back yard is fenced in and allows space to lounge in the sun. There are no other pets or humans currently in the house so it is very peaceful and quiet most of the time. I don't take dogs from more than one household at a time. I check in on the pets I care for regularly and track their emotional as well as physical needs, giving pets and butt scratches often!

“Christine was amazing!! I had a last minute trip and was still unsure of the exact boarding dates I needed when I booked, but she was very understanding and accommodating. She was so kind and did a great job taking care of my dog - she kept me updated with lots of pics and even gave me a cute card and polaroid pic :) I highly recommend booking with Christine”

“Robert and Brian truly loved up our pup Koda! We got lots of pictures of walks through parks and running and sweet belly rubs. They went out of their way on New Years Eve to help keep Koda comfortable and we’re so grateful for that. Koda was wonderfully sleepy when we picked her up so we could tell she had fun! Thanks so much Robert and Brian!”

“Madeleine was great with my dog Julio! She took our very last minute request and was very responsive. She gave updates and photos each day, which put me at ease since Julio is a high anxiety dog. I would definitely book her again!”

Alice F.

“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.”

Taylor & Julian D.

“Eiko is always amazing! I can’t say enough about her. She treats Kai like her own which gives me peace of mind when I need someone reliable while I travel.”

About: I’ve built a loyal client base since 2022 primarily through word of mouth and have many excellent references. I have experience caring for dogs with a wide range of personalities, needs, and routines, and I consider myself well-prepared to handle a variety of situations. I’m highly communicative, proactive, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. I always strive to go the extra mile for my clients, making sure both pets and their people feel heard, respected, and confident in their care. This work brings me a great deal of joy, and I genuinely love getting to know and care for each animal. I work remotely, which gives me the flexibility to provide pet care throughout the week and travel across the Bay Area for in-home sits. Pets are also welcome to stay with me at my Emeryville loft. I have an 8-year-old Chihuahua-Terrier mix who is friendly with most animals and mostly keeps to himself. I prioritize regular walks, play, enrichment, and plenty of affection throughout the day. When caring for dogs in their home, I aim for 2–3 walks daily on safe, familiar routes; there is also a dog park directly across from my loft if that’s a good fit for the dog. I follow each client’s care instructions closely, communicate proactively if questions come up, and keep clients updated with photos and messages so they can feel confident their pets are happy and well cared for.

“My very energetic lab mix had so much fun with Alexandra. She kept him fetching his ball and well exercised. Alexandra was so easy and accommodating to work with. She was very flexible about drop off and pickup times. She sent pictures and videos every day to show how much fun they were having. I highly recommend Alexandra and will definitely use her again next time we need pet sitting services!”

“Hope was recommended to us by another great Rover sitter, and we are really grateful. Hope is so friendly and knowledgeable about dogs and their behavior. She made Coconut comfortable immediately. Her little dog Rocky is adorable and super friendly. Coconut loved going for walks and playing with Rocky's toys. Hope was great with sending text updates as well as photos and videos. Here's hoping Hope doesn't get too busy to have room for Coconut the next time we need her!”
