1. Robert & Brian D.
“Robert and Brian went above and beyond when they took care of my dog last weekend! They are reliable, experienced, caring, and I would highly recommend them. My 70lb dog, who can be quite shy around new people, quickly warmed up to them during the meet & greet, which is a testament to their patience and experience with shy dogs. They also took time to answer all my questions and show me around where the dog would stay/the yard during the meet and greet. Throughout the weekend I received regular updates, including photos and videos, which really put my mind at ease. Robert and Brian took my dog on long walks, spent time playing tug, and even designed enrichment activities like painting for my dog. My dog returned happy and healthy. I am grateful to Robert and Brian for their care and would board my dog with them again.”
2. Karen & Hisako N.
“My puppy had another great stay with his Asian Aunties! He went on plenty of long walks and came home nice and relaxed. This time, he needed to take some medicine and Karen & Hisako did a great job making sure he took it as prescribed. He can't wait to for his next visit! Thanks for taking such great care of him!”
3. Jeff & Beth K.
“This was Rocco's second stay with Jeff and family. He recognized where we were as soon as we started walking to the door and got really excited. They are so great with Rocco, give him lots of attention, take him on off-leash walks, and generally spoil him. We are already planning his next stay.”
4. Lee J.
“Lee was SO sweet and took great care of my dog for a couple of days. She sent regular pupdates and was really responsive. I was nervous because my dog doesn’t spend much time with other dogs at all and Lee was willing to do a meet and greet and we let the dogs meet and get acclimated to the space a few days before her actual stay. Can’t say thank you enough and would definitely rebook in the future!”
5. Mary C.
“Mary took great care of Maggie! She was a very thoughtful host, kept Maggie entertained and active, and sent me lots of pictures. Highly recommend!”
6. Karen M.
“We loved our stay with Karen! The communication was very clear and quick, and Karen did a great job giving our pup a safe, structured stay with plenty of playing and time in the sun. :-)”
7. Tyler L.
“Tyler was great! He was super responsive and clearly a dog lover. He sent tons of photos and videos throughout the weekend. I would definitely use him again, and recommend to my friends.”
8. Jakob K.
“Jakob was the perfect choice for our pup who can be wary of new surroundings. It was clear from the updates and photos that Cali was comfortable and relaxed with him and in his home. As the owner; he was professional, curious about schedules and habits, and his house is a great set up for four legged visitors. Grateful I found him, and would happily use again!”
9. Mariola P.
“Mariola was very sweet and took great care of my cat in her home for a couple nights. She kept me updated and sent me photos everyday. I definitely recommend her!”
10. Marlene V.
“Marlene was wonderful! She was very responsive, kind, and reliable. We met before, so she could be introduced to and ask questions about Birdy. She has a great home environment, and I definitely felt like my pup was in great hands. I would be more than happy to work with Marlene again (as would Birdy!)”
11. Katharine K.
“Katharine was great - very communicative. I loved the my pup got exposure to other animals in a safe, controlled manner. Would definitely send Billie to stay with Katharine again in the future.”
12. Eiko S.
“I’m so happy I found Eiko! I moved a lifetime of belongings from San Francisco to Oakland and had my dachshund stay with Eiko for a week. Eiko and her family provided me with the peace of mind I needed to get through the move. She sent regular photos and updates which conveyed a very happy dog. I highly recommend Eiko and won’t hesitate to use her again.”
13. Donald R.
“This is the second time we’ve used Donald and he will continue to be our pup’s home away from home. We get daily updates and photos while we’re away. Such a relief to have Donald available!”
14. Tosca B.
“Tosca did an amazing job taking care of our puppy. Our puppy developed a medical issue while we were away, and Tosca handled it so well- contacting our Vet and administering medication. She sent daily updates and pictures. It was so nice to be able to relax on our trip knowing our puppy was in great hands.”
15. Danielle M.
“Seemed like my dog had a good time! Danielle was responsive and sent a lot of pics, which are always appreciated. Recommend and will use again!”
16. Amy M.
About: I have enjoyed a lifelong love of dogs and bring over 30 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of many different kinds of temperaments and personality. I have loved and raised both energetic dogs (Golden Retriever and Border Collie) as well as my most recent rescue poodle mix Rudy who I saw through to the end of his 15th year. I am 100% equipped to take tender loving care of the special needs of senior pups and know how to administer meds to dogs of all ages. I am an avid walker and would welcome the chance to take your dog outside with me as needed. Dogs are not just pets to me but cherished family members who deserve the best. When your dogs are in my care, you can trust that they will be treated as my own, with attention, love and the respect they deserve. I work PT and mostly from home. I go my office (local) for around 4 hours, two days a week. Other than that, I am available to be with your dog or cat for most of the day if need be. I live in a large flat with ample room to run and play. I am able to crate your dog if preferred or needed. I do not have any other pets or children so your pup has my full attention.
17. Jennifer L.
“My pup had a great time with Jennifer! She provided multiple pictures and updates while I was gone and I felt Peaches was in great hands! Would definitely book again for future trips :)”
18. Kelly L.
“Kelly was super communicative and Pocket seemed to fit right in during her stay. I will definitely have her watch Pocket again. Thanks Kelly!”
19. Diksha A.
“Diksha was so lovely and took great care of my pup! She was fast to communicate and sent lots of photos and updates. Haplo definitely had a good time staying in her home and I would definitely have her watch him again.”
20. Ellie & Jurre R.
“Ellie and Jurre were wonderful! Very communicative, consistently tired out my high energy dog, and even got cuddles from her (no easy feat for a dog who doesn’t like strangers). 100% would book with them again!”
