“Sabrina watched our baby for daycare for 3 days. Our pup quickly seemed to warm up to her. She kept us updated during the day and graciously brought her to us at the end of the day. Sabrina seemed super friendly and she treated our pup with a lot of care, even in the face of our dog’s first heat cycle. We appreciate her and the care she provided.”


“Radha was great as usual, we reached out in the morning for a same day daycare request and she responded right away. Our dog was so excited to see her and Jimmy. We got pictures and video all day that showed our dog having so much fun. Radha is so great and we'll be booking with her again.”


“I can’t say enough amazing things about Lucas. He’s the best dog sitter ever. He really understands and knows dogs, and my dog has absolutely the best time staying at his place and playing with the other dogs. I wouldn’t want to go to any other sitter now that I found Lucas!”

“Deborah was super welcoming. I kidded with her when I got there. I was looking for the motel sign because that’s her joke about her house. That she is open any time for any pets and I felt that right away the moment I saw her open the door and I know hope just felt right at home with her dog as well The whole day, and will definitely book again if I need a sitter in the same area”


“Yukon is an amazing host! We couldn't have asked for anything more. She took great care of our Lady bug. Gave us timely updates with pictures after walks, meals, and poo breaks. Lady also enjoyed hanging out with her fellow schnauzers. I highly recommend their services and plan to be repeat clients!”


About: I have two wonderful dogs in my family Andy and Louis. They are everything to me. They are ready to welcome and make some new friends and would love to share their space with other fur babies. I am working part time from home taking care of my toddler and a fur baby named Andy. I am home all day and love taking my boy and Andy on a short walk around the neighborhood. We have quiet and friendly neighbors which is a plus. We have a fenced back yard ~800sq ft with some turfed space for the dogs to play. Like I mentioned I have another playful dog who will give a good company for your dogs as well.

About: I been taking care and walking dogs since high school as part time job, I also foster and trained puppies and other ages basic commands i’m currently at home. I have plenty of time to play with your pups and also I’m available for boarding any day and any time. I have a backyard and a fenced front yard. I have two friendly dogs to keep your pet company, also I crate trained if needed.

About: My previous dog was a border collie so I am well versed in training energetic pups who want jobs. Clients have told me that their pup comes home better behaved than when they were dropped off! I tend to garden and do alot of work in my garage so your pup will join me in those spaces as well as walks up throughout the neighborhood and at the local park to meet other pups. I often try to schedule walks with neighbor’s doggies so we can walk together to socialize both humans and canine. If you need additional references, I am more than happy to provide some from previous clients. I look forward to spending time with your buddy! Hope to see you both soon. I now have a sweet rescue puppy I fostered then adopted who loves to play. She stops at the street corner for me to say she can cross. She can do “down” at a distance and will stay until released even when she does not have me in view. I work from home so have plenty of time to interact and just be there for my girl and your pup. We love going to beach park and swimming. My yard is fenced. There is a front and back yard so they can have plenty of outside time even at home. I also live close to parks where pups can romp.

About: What sets us apart is our deep understanding of what it's like to truly love a dog as family. We've cared for several dogs throughout our lives, including our beloved Maddie, who we lovingly supported through her senior years and heart failure - even taking her on daily walks in a dog stroller when she could no longer walk long distances. Currently, we spoil our special needs French Bulldog who is deaf, so we're very experienced with dogs who need extra attention and care. We treat every dog like our own, which means furniture and bed privileges (if you're okay with it!), multiple daily walks in our fenced backyard, medication administration, and plenty of one-on-one attention. Since we both work from home and have no kids, your dog gets constant human supervision - we know how much you worry when you're away, so we send lots of updates and photos to give you peace of mind. We only take one client at a time (though you can have multiple dogs), so your pup gets our undivided attention. With two of us caring for your dog and our experience with both senior and special needs dogs, you can trust that your furry family member is in loving, capable hands. Since my wife and I both work from home, dogs are never alone - there's almost always one of us around to keep them company. Our flexible schedule means we can easily handle walks, meals, rest, and playtime without gaps in supervision. It's perfect for dogs who need consistent attention and care throughout the day. We keep a clean, dog-friendly home with a secure fenced yard for safe play and potty breaks. Before any visit, we'll go over your dog's specific needs, routines, and any health considerations. I follow feeding instructions exactly and keep notes on how your pup is doing. We know how important pictures are when you're away and send them multiple times a day (or more) if requested.

“Yasmin was nothing short of amazing!!! We were visiting family in the area and needed to find a reliable day care for our 2 big and high energy dogs (92lb goldendoodle & 9 month old german shephard/mix) and Yasmin's place was perfect! She sent us frequent updates and photos/videos, took them on walks, played with them all day and even bought them some toys! We will definitely be booking with her again next time we're in the area! Thank you Yasmin!”


“Michael is such an amazing dog care provider. He really tunes in to the needs of your dog and is very pleasant to work with. He was kind, accommodating and friendly with me and our dog. He sent great photos, and was very communicative about how the visit was going and afterwards. We will enjoy a visit w Michael and his cute dog soon! You can feel confident that Michael will take very good care of your doggy! Liza”


About: I've had pets since I was a child, first a hamster, then a rat, house finches, more rats, cats, dogs, a tortoise.... When I take care of other people's pets I've been responsible for medications, training and even administering fluids with a bag and needle (I am a California state licensed phlebotomist). I've also fostered puppies, kittens and pregnant cats until they found their forever homes. I've recently moved back to the Bay Area, (as of September 2022). My beautiful Scottish terrier Gadget has passed away and I have lots of love to give your pets. Furthermore, I do not have pets of my own, as I have rehomed my African Sulcata tortoise Donatello and he's doing wonderfully in Washington state. I'm able to give your animals my full attention. I love traveling around the Bay Area and it is a pleasure to come to your home and housesit while you are away. My main priority during my stay is to spend a lot of time with your pets while keeping your home safe and clean.

“Shashi and her family took great care of our boy Bruno! They’re very communicative and flexible, and their friendly husky made a great companion for Bruno. Thanks!”


“Meadow is simply amazing! She very gracefully and kindly handled our Marzi Bean, who was experiencing over the top separation anxiety at her first dog daycare visit. All the dogs at Meadow's look very relaxed and happy. It'll take a little while and some training for our Marzi to manage separation better but I appreciated the feedback and the patient way she took care of our dog.”

About: Hi! I’m Nashla — a dedicated, bilingual pet sitter with over 4 years of professional experience caring for dogs and cats. What began as a hobby caring for pets in Mexico City quickly became a true passion and full-time commitment. I’ve worked with pets of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments, including senior dogs, nervous rescues, and high-energy pups. I offer basic obedience training (sit, stay, down), can administer oral medications and sprays, and follow detailed care routines with patience and love. I’m based in Richmond but happily serve the entire Bay Area — including San Francisco, Berkeley, El Cerrito, and Oakland. I also have a large, secure fenced yard where dogs can run and play safely under supervision. Whether your pet needs daily walks, overnight care, or just some company while you're at work, I’m here to give them the attention, affection, and structure they need to feel safe and happy. Let me know how I can help care for your furry family member! Pet care is my main focus right now, and I’m fully available to dedicate my time and energy to it. I currently do this full-time, which means I have a very flexible schedule and can adapt to the needs of each pet and owner — whether that’s early morning walks, midday visits, or overnight stays. Since I’m not balancing other jobs or commitments, I’m able to give pets the attention, patience, and consistency they deserve every day of the week. I treat this work with the same professionalism and responsibility as any full-time career — because it truly is my passion. I take safety and comfort very seriously — whether I’m caring for pets in my home or visiting them in theirs. At my place, pets can enjoy a large, fully fenced yard where they can run, play, and relax safely under my supervision. I keep a calm, clean environment and make sure every pet feels at home and stress-free. I’m also fully available to travel to clients’ homes 24/7, providing personalized care in the comfort of their own space. I carefully follow all instructions, routines, and safety guidelines provided by each owner, and I always keep open communication with regular updates and photos. No matter where I care for your pet, you can trust that they’ll be treated with love, attention, and the highest level of responsibility.

“Luna was an amazing sitter for our dog Choco. She and her dog, Pepito, we’re great companions for the week he spent with them. Luna is kind, warm, and a very observant and insightful sitter. She gave us daily updates, sent us beautiful photos and was very thoughtful with her questions and care for our dog. I highly recommend Luna and we will definitely ask her to take care of our dog when the need arises.”

“Because of Gail’s abundant kindness and generosity, I feel quite confident entrusting my special companion into her care. I think that she treat him well, be kind, and give him every opportunity to adjust to his reality today! Thank you, Gail, for being so gentle with Ebony this morning, and for going out of your way to make the connection easy for us!”
