“Lee was amazing with our dog, Cleo! She gave great updates and Cleo came back happy and tired from having such a wonderful time. Would definitely recommend!”

“Thank you Megan & Jenny! I needed to board my dog for one night with short notice and Megan & Jenny were able to board him. They responded quickly to my request and communicated with texts and photos during my dog's stay. My dog looked happy and it seems like he was well cared for. I will be contacting Megan & Jenny again for dog sitting and boarding.”

“Harley had a terrific time with Jeff & Beth. She came home happy & exhausted. Thank you for all the pictures and updates! She clearly seemed at "home" in your house! I will definitely be reaching out the next time we need a doggie-sitter.”

“Alex kept my golden retriever for a week and left me feeling GREAT about the boarding. From the daily pix & videos, it seemed that Alex integrated Mika into her family life completely, even having her at their backyard easter egg hunt! Mika got lots of play time & tons of petting, played with her daughters at the playground across the street, and did her napping right under Alex's feet when she was working. Such a great feeling to know your dog is well cared for when away. Thanks so much Alex!”

“Chad was an amazing dog sitter. He was very attentive, responded quickly to my questions and had the perfect amount of space for a playful dog. I would recommend anyone leave their dog with him!”

“Great experience boarding our pup with Karen. It is difficult to find someone you can trust with taking care of your pup where you will be comfortable they will make the right decisions if anything unexpected arises. We are glad we spent the time to find and board with Karen.”

“Albina was fantastic— she took care of our dog like he was her own! Our dog tagged along on little weekend adventures to parks, farmer’s markets, a neighborhood potluck, received lots of snuggles and went on many long walks; all things he loves to do. Albina sent us updates and photos daily, and was very responsive and accommodating with drop-off and pick-up times. Ultimately, I know my dog had the best time with Albina because he immediately snuggled up with us and fell asleep once we got home 🩷 We look forward to booking with Albina again for our next trip!”

“Mariola was the perfect doggy momma for sweet Lily while we were gone. She loved having her doggie buddies to spend time with. Mariola was always responsive and sent us photo updates that we loved!🥰”

Jennifer D.

“Eiko is such a fantastic sitter who we truly trust. She has watched our dog twice now while we are traveling, and both times we felt very comfortable knowing our dog was in good hands. The first time she watched our dog, she arranged a meet and greet. The second time, our dog, who is normally on the anxious side, was so excited to see her house again that he ran right up to the front door. She is very caring and friendly and sends us lots of updates. Highly recommend!”

“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!”

Luana P.

“Kristen and Ryan were very welcoming of our pup! They were understanding of her nuances and helped her adjust to a new environment fast. They have a nice spacious home with a big backyard that our dog loved relaxing in. Kristen and Ryan were very communicative throughout the stay and sent daily updates with photos. 100% recommend!”

Eric P.

“Ellie & Jurre were wonderful sitters for Gizmo! Daily updates with pics and videos were great, and i could tell Gizmo really enjoyed his time in their home. Thank you both! Look forward to having you watch Gizmo again soon.”

About: I’m a Fear Free Certified Professional, currently studying animal behavior. I’ve been running my own home based doggy daycare and boarding house for four years. My care is crate-free (unless that's what your pup's preferred at-home routine is,) with regular group outings to trails and the beach. I live in a two level home where the entire downstairs and fenced backyard are just for the dogs! It’s colorfully set up as the coolest doggie social club, but the pups are welcome throughout both levels of the home. They are never forcibly isolated and almost always prefer to be close to wherever I am. I keep my client list small and personal—almost all of my dogs have been with me for years. I don’t aim to pack the house; I aim to give the best experience possible for every dog and human involved. Even when clients start as one-offs, they usually stick around—because I strive to be a resource for dogs and their families. That’s why I call this place a home away from home. If you're interested, I invite you to come by for a meet and greet—see the space, meet me, and let me meet your little one. I look forward to being your dog’s new best friend! Canine care is my daily life. The dogs are with me throughout the day—whether we’re in the yard, around the house, or out on a trail. I structure my routine around their needs, with group outings, downtime, and a consistent rhythm. If my personal life calls me away, I have an amazing assistant Alaina who steps in. She also co-runs the daycare! I focus on keeping things consistent, calm, fun, and full of bonding—play, rest, outdoor time, and enrichment are all part of the daily rhythm. Outside of daycare hours, the space functions as our home too, so dogs experience a relaxed, real-life environment, not a facility. I send updates, pictures, and videos throughout the day.

“Alexis provided excellent daycare for Roxer today. She kept him engaged and active, sent cute photo updates throughout the day, and he came home tired and happy. Roxer most definitely enjoyed his time and I will definitely use Alexis again for daycare needs!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​”

“Isaac and Jordan were amazing. They sent a good amount of updates and made sure Nemo felt right at home. I look forward to having them watch Nemo again!”

“Lily and her husband were amazing with Bugsy. They kept us informed daily on updates. Bugsy got emotionally attached to them. They even tried to teach him new tricks! Will definitely recommend them and be back in the future!”

“Rachel is a terrific dog sitter! She is very responsive and communicative, and my dog had a great time with her and her dog. I appreciated the photos and videos of their beautiful hikes and play time.”

Sabrina S.

“Vanessa was so kind and careful with our pup Gumbo! We were extra nervous because we had to leave him with her for two weeks while he recovered from an injury. Following our vet’s instructions, she gave him his meds, restricted his activity, carried him up and down the stairs, and provided so much loving care. And she sent us lots of updates! Her pup Robin is so sweet too. We’re looking forward to Gumbo’s next stay with them.”

About: I’ve been lucky to grow up surrounded by both dogs and cats, and I can’t remember a time when there wasn’t at least one furry friend in my home. My pup, Ray Charles, and I truly enjoy the company of dogs of all sizes and personalities and foster on the side as well. To make sure everyone is comfortable, I like to arrange a friendly meet-and-greet before we set anything in stone. I work remote and have a lot of flexibility of schedule. Ray Charles and I spend our days exploring the beautiful parks and trails of the East Bay—and we’d be thrilled to have your pup join us for some fun walks and fresh air! Ray and I live in a cozy but spacious one-bedroom with a backyard, perched at the top of a hill in a safe, peaceful neighborhood that’s perfect for walks and outdoor play.
