“We entrusted our 17-year-old Yorkshire terrier, Daisy, to Susannah’s care, and we couldn’t have been more pleased. Daisy has special needs, but Susannah’s calm and welcoming atmosphere immediately put her at ease. Daisy was well cared for and seemed relaxed and happy when we picked her up. Being able to leave her in such capable hands allowed us to enjoy our day out without any worries. We highly recommend Susannah for anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate dog sitter!”


“My dog sometimes gets nervous without me, but he's warming up to Heather and Calob nicely. It's always an easy drop off and pick up, and they'll send me photos throughout the day. They're great!”


“Mollie was very responsive and took good care of our dog Oscar while we went to some wineries for the day. He had a great time her enclosed fence and played with some other regular day care dogs.”


“Kozue hosted my dog over their home for doggy day care various days by now and we will keep coming back! I trust that my dog is in good hands when she's over Kozue's home. She gets to sunbathe and walk in the secure gated yard to smell around. I think my dog wishes she lived there ; )”


“Wonderful care for our pups! Very accommodating couple. They were helpful with directions and logistics. I’m very grateful we found them last minute so we could attend an event in the area. Would be delighted to use them again!!”


“Thank you for taking great care of Toto. The photos of him with mochi are so cute. They look like great friends! It was so great to see all the updates with the playing and napping. It was a nice vacation day for him.”


“Ethan is amazing! He works so well my with 9 month old Golden Retriever Sunshine! She is a handful to deal with and every time I drop her off there is such a positive difference in her behavior. He keeps the line of communication open and kept me posted on her behavior while in his care. He always sent me photos of her so I always knew she was in good hands. I really appreciated the one on one time he spent with her. He has taken her on hikes to Mission Peak and also to Baylands Nature Preserve! He gives my pup tons of exercise. A tired pup is a happy pup!! He goes above and beyond to make sure my pup is well taken care of! He continues to provide me with different training techniques with my fur baby. He has a genuine love for dogs and I will recommend him to anyone. He deserves 10 ⭐️‘s!!”


“Steven hosted my dog over for doggy day care when I received a last minute cancellation from another sitter. All worked out great. Steven had prompt communication, understood dog behavior and needs, followed through on my requests on how to care for my dog. Perfect experience, highly recommend! My dog will be back!”


“Just visiting the area and super grateful to have found Jestina so I could attend an event. She loved my energetic boxer mix as if she were her own. I appreciated the updates, pix and video, and also the warm interest she took in my own life too! (Sometimes the dogs get all the attention!) Highly recommend and will use again when in town! Thank you, Jestina!”


“Audrey was great! My shy Piper did well under her care. The house is a nice place for doggies and her children are darling and respectful to the new additions. This was a Day Care stay while I visited family.”


“Adriana is lovely to work with and conscientious about watching the dogs and making sure they are safe as they play.She has a nice play area for the dogs. My dog loved her young Golden Retriever and they had a great time”


About: I come from a farming background in Ireland. I absolutely adore animals, especially dogs. I don’t have my own at the moment and I really miss them. I’m a really active person and would love a doggo to go on walks with! I’m a teacher, off on summer holidays! Lots of availability as have all my days free. I’m an early riser so early morning walks / midday walks or afternoon walks all fit easily in my schedule! If the doggy can board with me - even better!! I can guarantee it’ll be very loved and well looked after! I have a 2400 sq ft house as well as a fenced back yard. Lots of space to play both indoors and outdoors! I also live really close to many walkways and green areas!


“Mariana is always so wonderful with our older poodle, Toby. He enjoys his doggy day care stays with her every time, and she is excellent at communicating how he is doing. The pictures she often sends of him playing and resting are a nice bonus :) I recommend her highly for anyone looking for care for their pet.”

About: I've owned a few wonderful pups throughout my lifetime. Black Labs and a Jack Russel Terrier mix! They are the light of my life! I also volunteer through a local SPCA near my college through participating in a doggy-day-out program for adoptable dogs. I am a second year college student, out for the summer, so I have plenty of free time to spend walking with your furry friend! I have experience walking my own dogs and others' pets as well. I promise to tire them out and show them the love that I give my own!

About: I absolutely adore all of the animals in the world! I have a background in animal husbandry as well as caretaking and training all types of pets. Nothing makes me happier than spoiling my lovely pets as well as yours and making sure they are in the best of care. I work remotely and have the freedom to take care of my small Chihuahua as well as your pet. I live next to a beautiful trail and a concrete pathway that will allow me to take your pet on walks and enjoy some fresh air. I also have access to a gated yard. I can adhere to strict, dietary and medication needs, walking schedules, and love to make any calls, texts or pictures that need to be sent- so that we can check in and always be on the same page.


“Ria is awesome! In addition to being loved right away by our slightly anxious pup and being a dog whisperer with him, she was helpful with recommendations for navigating the construction road chaos of the area. Highly recommend!”


“Aisling was great with Millie. Millie has some anxiety when away from mom & dad. Aisling made Millie feel comfortable and safe. I received multiple pictures and updates during her stay. I appreciate the care Aisling took with Millie.”
