Dog Boarding North Hayward

“Cindy was so great with Enzo! She kept me updated on how he was around other dogs, let me know how he did on walks and informed me that he was doing great. I really appreciated the fact that she had some background with training dogs and understood that my dog could get vocal and that it wasn’t a sign of aggression. Enzo was very happy after staying with her and I will definitely be reaching out to her again :)”

“Mary was amazing with my cat! I had to change my drop-off time last minute and ended up picking my cat up a day early. I told her to keep the payment for the full stay, but she was sweet enough to refund me. Plus, her little son played with my cat the whole time, so my kitty got plenty of love. ​Super honest, flexible, and reliable—will definitely be using her again!”

“Lea is so awesome. She takes great care of my dog. My dog Yuki looked happy when she stayed with Lea. Lea also sends many updates throughout the day proactively. This is my first time using Rover, I believe Lea gave me a great experience. I would definitely rebook her in the future if her schedule allows.”

“I really appreciate Natallia watching ALL 4 of my cats. She did a fantastic job. They were spoiled and they did not want to leave her home. Natallia provided me pictures and updates of my fur babies. I had peace of mind while they were under her care. I highly recommend her.”

“I would like to express my family's gratitude to Gianina for taking an extraordinary care for Lola! She was very attentive to Lola's routine and needs and embraced Lola as she was part of her family! My dates changed and Gianina was extremely supportive and generous with my new dates and this was big relief for our family as we knew that Lola is being loved by Gianina and her family. We highly recommend her for being professional, caring and loving, flexible and attentive to Lola's needs. THANK YOU VERY MUCH for helping my family during our Christmas break!”

“This is my first time using rover and was really anxious about dropping off my 11mo pup to a stranger. Shuvashna popped up on my search and after reading through the reviews, I felt confident she would take good care of my pup!! I was right, from the get go she was very responsive and I felt very comfortable. Pictures and videos and updates were sent during the time we were away and it made me happy seeing my guy happy!!! He was definitely having his own doggie vacation! If you are looking for someone who will take care of your dog as well as you do, Shuvashna is your best bet!!”

“Ari is amazing! He stayed with our doggie for 5 nights and 6 days. Ari sent photos and videos which we greatly appreciated. Our dog can get rashy if she's on grass for too long. She was happy, loved, and rash free when we picked her up. Thank you so much again Ari! We appreciate you! Our doggy will definitely be back :)”

“Stephanie and Joe are amazing! They kept me updated with lots of photos of my happy dog! Lots of walks and cuddles! Would use them again in a heartbeat. Think my Dog had more fun on vacation than I did! Thank you again to these two for taking such good care of Milo!”

“Irene and her family were absolutely wonderful with Chantilly while I was away. I felt completely at ease throughout my trip thanks to the frequent updates they provided, which were so thoughtful. It was clear they took great care of her, and it was heartening to see that their family dog, Kenzie, and Chantilly became total besties by the end of the stay. I highly recommend Irene if you’re looking for peace of mind and a loving environment for your pet while you’re away.”

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.

“Olivia and Drew were great with Milo. They took him on daily walks/hikes, cuddled with him ont he couch, played in the yard with him and he loved all of it. He came home tired and happy. It was the first time leaving Milo since he was rescued and Olivia was very kind and patient and answered all my questions.”

“Jenna and Kristen went above and beyond in taking care of my senior dog, who is on medication for her heart and kidney illnesses. I was reassured by the daily updates they sent me about how she was doing. I know how challenging it can be to care for senior dogs, but they are truly experienced—when she didn’t eat her regular food, they made chicken and rice for her. They also took excellent care of her when she had an accident. I would highly recommend them.”

Yukari A.

“Michael and his wife Cindy are very nice and I can trust them for my dog. They both greeted after the booking and they work as a great team for the clear and easy communication. I had to modify my booking due to the schedule change and they were so nice to adjust it for me. I will definitely ask them again to watch my dog when needed. Highly recommend them.”
