“Absolutely love having my guys stay with Cindy! She’s great with communicating and sending photos throughout the day. My guys always seem happy going and when I pick them up.”
“Jenna is amazing. We left our little Frankie there for a few hours today, our first time leaving him with anyone. We received photos and a video while we were away. He even started to whimper as we buckled him in to the truck as we left her house. We will definitely be using Jenna’s care again. She has experience with animals who need extra TLC so after our little guys hip surgery we will be leaning on her for some extra help! Highly recommend!!!”
“Yonkyu took really good care of my dog during his stay. I appreciate the photos and updates that she sent, making me feel at ease that my fur baby was safe and having a good time. I will definitely use her fir future bookings.”
“Alex is delightful to work with. He always greets Winnie with a smile & has a positive attitude about her separation anxiety, which sets me at ease. He shares updates at pick up and sends a few photos during the day. I’m hoping to continue working with him!”
“Harper was amazing! She was very flexible when my schedule changed and I had to pick up Rusty a little later than planned. She also sent pictures and videos of him playing with his new buddies. She’s super sweet & I felt very comfortable having her watch Rusty! Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve taken care of Princess for 12yrs . I grew up with a big family of pet lovers . My home for years have been the one everyone comes to on the weekend to bbq in and ofc all our furry babies are running around. I have a flexible part time job so I am free early mornings and throughout the day to go play with your pets and take them out. I also have a big home and yard if they need to come over to not stay home alone . I have a home with all fenced yard and I no longer have anymore pets , so they are free to roam around in the backyard or if they’re inside dogs they can definitely have in and out access all day to cuddle inside when they want or go get some sun and play. I’m definitely mindful on making sure you feel comfortable with me in your home if needed and would ofc go over to play and take care of your pet in the comfort of their home.
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.
“Christina and Nathan was absolutely amazing with my babies, Tofu & Panko. They were friendly, responsive, and reliable and kept me updated the whole time with messages and photos, which gave me total peace of mind. My babies felt comfortable the moment they walked in. I would definitely book with them again—highly recommend!”

“Natalia is a great care giver to my dog. She walked my dog for a long time which my dog loved and enjoyed accompanying to my dog. I’ll ask her again. I would appreciate more pics if I could ask. Overall, she is great.”
About: I’ve spent 5 years caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments, from energetic puppies to gentle seniors. My experience includes daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, and overnight stays, always tailored to each dog’s personality and needs. Since I’m retired and stay at home, I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to caring for pets. I’m available throughout the day for walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping your dog company. Whether it’s weekdays or weekends, I can easily adjust to your pet’s routine and give them the consistent attention they need. I believe pets deserve a safe, calm, and loving environment, whether they’re in my home or yours. At my home, I provide a clean, pet-friendly space with plenty of room for play and relaxation. I make sure water bowls are always full, and I follow each pet’s feeding, exercise, and medication schedule carefully.
About: Hi! I’m a full-time animal lover based in Hayward with hands-on experience caring for multiple pets every day. I currently have 6 cats a French Bulldog puppy and a chihuahua , so I understand different personalities, energy levels, and how to keep pets safe, calm, and happy. Whether your pet is playful, shy, or needs extra attention, I’m patient and attentive. I treat every pet like my own and make sure they feel comfortable while you’re away. What you can expect: • Regular photo & video updates • Safe, clean home environment • Flexible schedule & quick responses • Experience with puppies, cats, and multiple pets I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I take that seriously. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry family! I feed my animals twice a day and I walk the dogs twice a day morning and evening. Throughout the day dogs engage in playful fetch and games. They go out in the yard and enjoy the sun and run around. I have decent size house with two yards so plenty of space to run around. I have an extra room if animals need to be seperated.
“Tatiana walked my dog three times while staying at her house and gave her good exercises. She let my dog playing at the park and hanging out with her ground children. I’m sure that my dog had a good time. She also took good care of her by checking her food, trying to feed her until she got enough. She is a good walker and caregiver as well. I’m happy and comfortable to leave my dog with her.”
“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!”
“Lai was so sweet to my dog. She walked him and made sure he was happy while we were on vacation. Very accommodating and kind. I would definitely use her again in the future.”
“Shuvashna is fantastic as always. I went back to her for the second time, this time dropped off Dexter & Deedee for daycare. She constantly gave me updates by sending pictures and videos, and engaged them by playing in the backyard with them. Dexter and Deedee love Shuvashna and I would be happy to be back soon :)”
“Gabru had a very nice day with Reyna. She was very responsive to all our requests and sent regular updates. She has a nice house and Gabru enjoyed her backyard. I will definitely have Gabru visit Reyna again soon”

We had a wonderful experience with Angela yesterday who was incredibly kind, prompt, and kept us fully informed with updates through the day. Olive was fed exactly on time and came home happy, relaxed, and completely comfortable. We highly recommend their services!
She was incredibly patient and caring with my puppy. Since he hasn’t completed all of his vaccinations yet, she was able to accommodate him by only watching one dog at a time, which gave me great peace of mind. She regularly sent me photos and updates, so I always knew how he was doing. She also helped with his potty training and was very attentive to his needs. I could tell she genuinely cared about him and treated him like her own. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and responsible dog sitter! I will definitely rebook her if needed in the future! Thanks Yan!
Taty and Lenin are amazing sitters for Oreo. They are kind, communicative, & keep him active so when I’m home from work, he’s happy and calm. They’ve been very mindful of what he eats, walking him, training, as well as trying to get him to be less scared of.. well.. everything! 😅 I began booking them everyday in at work to ensure Oreo is well loved. I highly recommend these two wonderful human beings for anyone’s fur baby.
Jacqueline helped put our anxious-prone girl at ease in just ten minutes, and then it was all mutual affection! Phoebe received good care and it was just as we had instructed. With Phoebe's separation anxiety, Jacqueline never left her alone, which we appreciated!
I had a great experience with Yonkyu through Doddy Care. Yonkyu was incredibly attentive, reliable, and genuinely caring throughout the entire time. Their professionalism stood out right away -they were punctual, well-prepared, and made sure to understand specific needs. What really impressed me was their patience and warmth. Yonkyu created a comfortable and positive environment, which made a big difference. I would absolutely recommend Yonkyu to anyone looking for dependable and compassionate care! PS: Piku used to be super excited to meet Yonkyu everyday
I booked with Shuvashna for doggy daycare at her house and the process was so seamless! Shuvashna was communicative and kind enough to send pictures and videos of my puppy playing with friends throughout the day. She is definitely someone I would trust with my pup again and will be rebooking in the future.
Absolutely the best sitter we’ve found! I was nervous leaving my dog for the first time, but Jalen completely put me at ease. My pup came home happy, tired, and clearly well-loved. His place is clean, safe, and dog-friendly you can tell he genuinely enjoys having dogs around, not just as a side gig. He was flexible with drop-off, responsive to messages, and even noticed a small thing with my dog’s behavior and mentioned it to me. That kind of attentiveness is rare. We’ve already booked him again. If you’re on the fence, don’t be as your dog is in great hands.
Jenna is amazing. We left our little Frankie there for a few hours today, our first time leaving him with anyone. We received photos and a video while we were away. He even started to whimper as we buckled him in to the truck as we left her house. We will definitely be using Jenna’s care again. She has experience with animals who need extra TLC so after our little guys hip surgery we will be leaning on her for some extra help! Highly recommend!!!
Harper and Leo were amazing! They took care of my dog last minute while my husband and I went to a hockey game, and it gave us so much peace of mind. Knowing our dog was in a safe and caring place made it so much easier for us to enjoy our night. If you’re looking for a trustworthy and loving place for your pup in San José, this is definitely a great option. Highly recommend!
Jocelyn was such a wonderful dog sitter for Missy. I had a last‑minute meeting come up and needed someone within less than 24 hours, and she replied right away and was incredibly accommodating. She kept me updated with photos of Missy throughout the day, which I really appreciated. I would absolutely book with her again—Missy seemed so comfortable with her and adjusted right away. Thank you again, Jocelyn!
