About: Tiny Paws, Huge Hearts! Hi, my name is Beverley and I have been a dog lover all of my life since I was a little girl. I am especially experienced with small - breed dogs such as Chihuahuas, Yorkies, Pomeranians, Malteses, ShihTzus and lots of other mini mixes. I understand their unique needs, gentle handling and extra attention that smaller dogs often require. Whether you have a super spunky little one or a shy snuggled, I always make sure your little fur baby feels safe, understood and truly loved while you’re away. Reliable TLC & personalized home care for your small breed dogs. I’ve been around small dogs for several years now and truly treat every pup like my own. I’m currently working from home remotely, so your dog will get plenty of company, close supervision and lots of love throughout the day. I’m available for overnight boarding throughout the week and also on weekends. If your dog loves being pampered, cuddled and treated like one of the family - then we’re a perfect match! I have a fully fenced yard and 2 fur babies of my own to keep your little one occupied and comfortable (a dog friendly environment for small dog breeds). I offer lots of walks & playtime, frequent potty breaks , and a calm, safe home environment with lots of cuddle time. And if you have a nervous or shy pup, I give lots of patience and understanding with gentleness and plenty of rewards.
“Aurora did a great job keeping me informed and sending me plenty of pics of Sydney’s day. I could tell by the photos she was keeping him busy and engaged. I look forward to using her services again in the near future.”

“Without hesitation I give Radha 5 stars! She treated Mika like family as soon as she arrived. She sends pictures and videos which really put my anxieties to rest. I’m looking forward to sending her back soon.”

“We were worried about leaving our new puppy for the first time, but Alisha set up a Zoom so we could meet her the day before and it was immediately obvious that she would take great care of our little guy. Then, when we dropped him off, he practically jumped into her arms and made himself at home in the space she has set up which is perfect for doggy guests. She sent us updates and pics throughout the evening. We are very glad to have Alisha nearby for the future. I especially appreciate her depth of knowledge -- she is a great resource for those of us who have limited experience with raising puppies!”

“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!”

About: For as long as I can remember, I’ve had a natural connection with dogs. Whether meeting a new pup or caring for a familiar one, I build trust quickly and genuinely enjoy making dogs feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Over the years, I’ve become the go-to sitter for family and friends, caring for dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels from playful puppies to sweet seniors. I have a hybrid job and go into the office in San Francisco three times a week. My husband is recently retired and generally at home. We are available for boarding, walking, drop-in day care and sitting at someone's house when our schedule permits. Our home is a cozy one-bedroom condo in Marina Bay, Richmond, just steps from the beautiful Bayside Trail which is an ideal spot for dog walks, fresh air, and playtime. We also have a small balcony that’s perfect for a little sunbathing between outings. We take our dog out every few hours for potty breaks, neighborhood visits, and regular walks, and we’re lucky to live in a very dog-friendly community. It’s a welcoming environment where pups get plenty of attention, exercise, and social time.

Small treats and water are always available. No poop is left behind. I can also babysit up to two small dogs at my place per client.

Beyond the basics of walking and feeding, I provide daily photo updates and structured mental stimulation to ensure your pet feels secure, loved, and engaged until you return home.

“Jacqueline is amazing. I can’t say enough good things about her. She has watched Palmer multiple times and he absolutely loves her. I honestly think he likes her more than me. She is communicative, flexible, so kind and caring and treats Palmer as if he were her own. I feel so comfortable any time Palmer is with her and would recommend her to anyone!”

Michael has taken care of our senior guy for two extended periods and is an exceptional walker and caregiver. Our boy has special needs and Michael was so attentive, caring and gentle with him. Michael went above and beyond to make sure all his needs were met. Michael provided great communication and updates on each visit throughout the day. He took such wonderful care of Moe and our family. Moe gave him lots of kisses. He’s the best sitter ever!

Claudia is wonderful! Olive is anxious and has some separation anxiety. Claudia took time out of her own day to meet Olive ahead of her doggy day care and it made all the difference. Olive had a great time and I received plenty of updates/photos throughout the day. Definitely recommend!

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!

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!
