Doggy Day Care Golden Gate

About: Berkeley Humane Society and Oakland Animal Services volunteer, trained with dogs of all temperaments. I also dog sit for family and friends, and love building trust and keeping routines consistent. I focus on quality walks, not quick outings. When appropriate, I take dogs to East Bay spots like Point Isabel, Albany Bulb and Berkeley Marina for space and stimulation. For drop-ins, your dog will get lots of attention, movement and care. I walk my dogs daily, often on longer outings. I adjust pace and distance based on your dog’s needs. Dog care is my priority right now. I’m available mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I have flexibility and I can accommodate longer walks or extended visits I prioritize safety at all times. Dogs will always be on-leash and handled either full attention and control. I stick to your instructions and keep routines consistent

“Very grateful and thankful for Hong and her family, they took amazing care of my puppy, Spoon. She sent frequent updates and even shared beautiful, professional photos throughout the day. I felt very relived that we found a dog sitter like her. I will definitely be booking with her again!”

“I felt a little unsure of dropping my dog off to someone I didn't know but started to feel more comfortable the more I spoke with Hye. Then Rudy, my pup, and I met Hye in person and we both were put very much at ease. Hye and Rudy hit it off immediately and I was fine leaving him with her. Hye updated us with photos and really "loved" Rudy and my wife and I were able to relax and enjoy our evening. I would totally recommend Hye and her husband for the care of their family member.”

“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.”

“Matthew and Van Joseph were fantastic dog sitters! They not only took great care of my dog, but also gave me a peace of mind with frequent updates and clear communication. My dog can be nervous in new environments, but felt right at home with Matthew and VJ! 10/10 highly recommend!”

“Michelle took great care of my fur baby who has separation anxiety. She was thoughtful, knowledgable, and responsive. I will be booking her again and highly recommend her.”

“My dog baby Maui loved staying with Dylan who was so attentive and doting. My dog has separation anxiety, but he was very comfortable with Dylan at drop off and pick up and from the pictures Dylan shared, and napped happily when we got home. I appreciated the updates and photos, and that we did a meet and greet before the booking to see how Maui got on with Dylan's two cute dogs! Can't wait for Maui to stay with Dylan and his partner and family again!”

“Rachel was great! Super easy to communicate with and she shared pictures and updates of Pepper during her stay. Thank you so much! Would highly recommend her a sitter.”

Kathy T.

“Thank you for taking care of Molly. I’m glad your cats stepped up to the plate to nap with Molly since the second litter of kittens went to their new forever homes. I’m sure can’t wait for the next litter to watch them grow up and play with in the near future.”

Daniel Z.

“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!”

“Simba had a fantastic time. He came home happy and ready for bed. Mary took lots of photos and we would be happy to use Mary again when we are in the area.”

Katherine B.

“Claudio was amazing with Xico. Xico does not always get along with other dogs, but Claudio has the ability to ease any tension or fear Xico may feel around new dogs. Claudio went above and beyond to make Xico feel at home. They even went to Alameda beach! I know Xico felt safe and happy due to Claudio’s warm energy. I’m so happy Xico could socialize and have fun this week!”

About: I’ve had dogs for over 16 years and truly understand how to care for animals with patience and love. I also have experience rescuing and helping stray dogs and cats, so I’m very attentive to different personalities, emotions, and special needs. My doggies back in China are all rescued and adopted by me and my family. I’m comfortable caring for both dogs and cats, including senior pets who need extra patience and gentle attention. I treat every pet like family and always try to make them feel safe, calm, and loved while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I’m available full-time and can provide care every day, including weekdays and weekends. I have a flexible schedule, so pets receive plenty of attention, supervision, walks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. Caring for dogs is something I truly enjoy, and I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re with me. I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment for pets both in my home and in my client’s home. I carefully follow each pet’s usual routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any special care instructions. I pay close attention to their behavior and comfort to help them feel relaxed and secure while their owners are away. In my home, pets receive plenty of supervision, affection, clean spaces, fresh water, and regular exercise. In my client’s home, I respect the pet’s familiar environment and maintain their normal routine as closely as possible to reduce stress. I also send regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident that their pets are happy and well cared for.

About: I've taken care of animals since a young age. Everything from dogs, cats, to chickens and fish, and of course, the occasional wild pig ;) I have a frug, so pet care is a part of my everyday routine. Daily bathroom breaks, walks, playtime, and a trip to the dog park. I have a fenced yard and my dog loves to run around it. She gets along well with other dogs that I care for and I let them roam freely around my home.
