“Zo was so good to my two dogs. She sent updates and pics everyday. They were calm, clean and happy when I went to pick them up. Highly recommend her.”
“Anna and Jason are wonderful. We always get updates and photos. Shakespeare loves playing with their pup Lucky. Thanks for a great experience.”
“We’re so happy to find Lei at Rover.com. She really took good care of our energetic and playful Siberian Husky Mia for 4 days. We’ll be definitely use her service in the future. Thank you Lei🙏🏻”
“We couldn’t have asked for better care for Kiko! Megan and Jenny were so flexible, thoughtful, and sent us lots of updates, which gave us so much peace of mind. Kiko was clearly in great hands — we’re so grateful and would absolutely recommend them to anyone!”
“Angelica was such an attentive and communicative care taker. She really went above and beyond to prep for Leo's visit, handled some last minute additional care instructions due to a scratch in his eye, and really made the whole experience so lovely and reassuring. Highly recommend!”
“If you’re looking for a sitter in the east bay, you’ve found her! I’m very particular with my boys and have gone through so many different Rover sitter trials. Johanna was immediately warm, has great indoor and outdoor space and sends us so many photos and updates. I’ll definitely be contacting her again!”
“Robin and Dan were AMAZING with my senior tripod Peg. This was our first time apart since I began fostering her in January (followed by adopting her), she has severe separation anxiety and I knew it was going to be tough on her. I completely underestimated how tough though, sweet Peg went through some real mourning, however, she was in the most perfect hands ever. Robin was quick to text when there was an issue, quick to reply to any of my questions, gave me updates and photos, and was so unbelievably patient with Peg. And Dan very sweetly figured out she enjoys the tv! I am so thankful for Robin and Dan, and their patience and kindness, they are such wonderful people. Peg says “Thank you for my sleepover Aunt Robin and Uncle Dan””
“Golda was a great caretaker for our hyper-active labradoodle! She worked to tire Ginger out with endless ball-throwing (what she lives for). This was the longest I have ever boarded her so was worried about her. Golda sent daily updates & photos which calmed me down quite a bit! And, of course, it rained heavily on 3 of the days with Golda; but she still managed to exercise Ginger in the rain. Would be very comfortable having Ginger with Golda again!”
“Absolutely wonderful from start to finish! Communication was excellent throughout the entire process. I had a few specific instructions for my pup’s stay, and not only were they followed perfectly—they even offered helpful suggestions and kept me updated with pictures and videos the whole time. The level of care and attention my dog received was outstanding, and I could tell he felt right at home the moment we arrived. There’s a warm, calming energy in this home that you can feel immediately and clearly, my pup felt it too. I’m beyond grateful and will definitely be booking again whenever I’m out of town. Thank you so much! Can’t wait to see you all again soon!”
“Anna is wonderful! She’s thorough and gives daily updates. I’m so impressed with her attention to detail; she clearly cares about the pets she watches.”
About: Hi! I’m a full-time balanced dog trainer with over 5 years of hands-on experience, and I’m excited to now offer boarding and board-and-train services! Whether your dog is crate trained or not, reactive with people or dogs, or just needs structure and exercise while you’re away—I’ve got you covered. I specialize in behavior modification, so even dogs with more challenging needs are welcome here. Your dog will enjoy: • A fully fenced backyard • Plenty of daily engagement, training, and enrichment • Multiple crates and cozy dog beds available as needed • Walking access to a nearby dog park Understanding canine body language and preventing issues before they arise is at the core of what I do. My mission is to provide every dog in my care with structure, fulfillment, and a safe, enriching environment. Ready to work together or book a stay? Let’s chat—I’d love to meet you and your dog! Dogs are my full time job as a dog trainer! Since, I have boarding and private training with other clients. I make sure my personal dogs and dogs that are boarding are regularly walked and have potty breaks. All my dogs will be in a structured boarding program! In contrast to most daycare centers, your dogs will follow a set schedule tailored to them. including: * daily exercise * safe socialization * all dogs will sleep in their individual crates *no all-day free play *crate time **(Will offer training for loose leash walking and basic obedience if requested)
“Tracey was super communicative and cared for Leo well. She has a great set up and nice neighborhood for dogs, and her 2 boxer buddies were so friendly. Would definitely book again!”
“Chad provided a great sit for my 2 dogs. They were clearly well cared for. Between the two of them, they need a lot of meds and Chad willingly dispensed them. They'll be back! Thanks, Chad.”
“Great experience! Simba was in great shape at pickup. They sent pictures daily which really helped the kids feel good about his first boarding experience.”
“Sarah and her team did a fantastic job with Chippy, our new indoor cat. Sarah came to our home for a meet and greet, which we found very productive, as this was both our first time boarding with Sarah and boarding a cat (not to mention we are first time cat owners). There were definitely some things we hadn't been considering, and Sarah made excellent recommendations that prepared us and Chippy for a positive boarding experience. Sarah kept us updated on how Chippy was doing periodically during her stay. Everything went well. We look forward to boarding with Sarah again.”
“Olivia was the best sitter for Twiggles! She was quick and clear with communication and providing updates. I would highly recommend having Olivia take care of your pet!”
“Emerson is such an incredible host! My dog, Ranger, was anxious when I dropped him off, but after plenty of attention and exercise, he quickly warmed up to Emerson. I especially loved seeing all the fun pictures and videos throughout my entire trip. Can't recommend him enough!”
“Where do I even start? Chawntea’s reviews speak for themselves and after coming across her profile I knew that she would be a perfect fit for looking after my sweet boy. I received plenty updates and even came back to a freshly bathed pup which was so unexpected yet so appreciated. 100% recommend her and can’t wait for more fun times between Juice and Bailey!”
“Suzanne takes great care of our dog. We worry about her always so it’s comforting to receive pictures of her having fun with other dogs her size. Thanks so much for helping us out so much!”
