Availability
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.

Information Yan G. would like to know about your pet
Please share anything that helps me care well: feeding schedule, allergies, medications, reactivity toward other dogs or strangers, noise sensitivities, and any routines your dog relies on. I work best with small and medium dogs under 45 lb, especially calmer temperaments. Every stay starts with a free meet-and-greet so your dog can settle here before you leave.
A typical day
I walk dogs daily, play with them, and spend quality time helping them relax and feel comfortable. Depending on each dog’s personality, I adjust the level of activity—active dogs get more playtime, while older or more sensitive dogs enjoy a calmer, gentle routine with plenty of care and attention.

Pet care experience
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.
Reviews
If you’re looking for someone to trust in providing the best care to your fur baby, book with Yan! 💕 She helped me in a last minute booking the first time, and she was flexible with me. Yan also has a kind and calm presence. I have a spunky pup that warmed up to Yan on the first visit. When I book with Yan, I literally have no worries. She’s very communicative and provides updates and photos, so I know how my fur baby is doing throughout the day. There are times where I’ve worked overnight and can be exhausted, and Yan was flexible and kind enough to pick up and drop off my Luna. I’m so glad I connected with Yan, now I have someone I trust to care for my fur baby when I’m away. I cannot say thank you enough Yan 💕
Yan is the sweetest. She was so flexible with me for a last minute booking and really helped when I was in urgent need. My Luna is so comfortable with her, and she made her feel right at home. Yan has such a clean and peaceful atmosphere in her home, I will certainly be bringing my fur baby back. If you need someone reliable and treats your pup with such love and care, book with Yan! 🥰
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!
Stella loves visiting Yan! My 3.5 month old puppy gets so excited when she sees her. Yan is very knowledgeable with puppies and works with us to keep her training habits up.
