Doggy Day Care in San Lorenzo

“Harper was amazing! She was very flexible when my schedule changed and I had to pick up Rusty a little later than planned. She also sent pictures and videos of him playing with his new buddies. She’s super sweet & I felt very comfortable having her watch Rusty! Highly recommend!”

“Tatiana walked my dog three times while staying at her house and gave her good exercises. She let my dog playing at the park and hanging out with her ground children. I’m sure that my dog had a good time. She also took good care of her by checking her food, trying to feed her until she got enough. She is a good walker and caregiver as well. I’m happy and comfortable to leave my dog with her.”

About: I have been providing home-style dog boarding and pet care since 2017, with over 9 years of hands-on experience. I also worked for two years at a professional dog boarding and daycare facility in San Francisco and have experience in animal rescue. I am experienced in caring for dogs of all ages and personalities, especially puppies, senior dogs, rescue dogs, and dogs with anxiety or special needs. What sets me apart is my small, home-based care approach. I only accept 1–2 dogs at a time, which allows me to provide full attention, a calm environment, and truly personalized care for each dog. I am patient and attentive, and I adjust my care based on each dog’s personality to help them feel safe, comfortable, and at home. I stay at home most of the time and have a flexible schedule, so caring for pets is a natural part of my daily life. I take dogs out for walks, feed them, and spend time with them every day. I only accept a small number of dogs so I can give each pet plenty of attention and care. Home-style care in Castro Valley. Only 1–2 dogs at a time, never more than a small pack — so every visitor gets personal attention and a calm, consistent routine. Quiet indoor spaces to nap, multiple walks outside each day, and free meet-and-greets before any stay. I've been caring for dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs and more since 2018 and specialize in small and medium dogs under 45 lb.

“She is a total sweetie and very accommodating! My dog can get shy and anxious around new people and other dogs and Julia took great care of her adapting to what will work best to ease some of my girls anxiety. Sent lots of pictures and updates as well, we already booked her for more overnights as well as drop ins! She is very flexible with her schedule and meeting her clients needs. Thank you Julia!”

“The boys completed their first daycare visit; all went well and they seemed to have enjoyed themselves. Also, appreciated the good communication between Owner and Sitter. We'll be back for another visit soon :)”

About: I have experiences with Senior care and basic training for puppies. I watch their body languages carefully to know when to pause a play and what they need from me :) Leia and I usually go for a walk in the morning, around 5 in the afternoon and quick bathroom break before going to bed. I work from home most of the time so id love to help to care for another dog so they’re not depressed alone at home whole the parents are off to earn money for their their pawbills 😝 I help to care for friends dogs when they need and I feed them together but separately so they don’t get food aggressive. I also monitor toys so it doesn’t create fights. Because I have Leia, I know the struggle and guilt feelings when you have vacation planned and need to leave the pup. I try my best to give lots of updates and pics so the humans can enjoy their time away as well.

About: I have 9 years of experience caring for dogs, and I love hiking with them! If hiking isn’t your thing but your dog loves it, I might be a great fit for you. For safety reasons, hiking is available for dogs under 30 lbs who have good on-leash manners :) During the boarding stay, I will be at home with your pet. Please share your pet’s daily routine with me, and I’ll do my best to keep everything as close to their usual schedule as possible. If you would like your pet to go on an on-leash hike during weekend boarding, please let me know in advance. This service is available for well-behaved pets only, for safety reasons. During the service period, I’ll keep you posted with updates on how they’re doing like how much they’re eating and drinking, their energy level, and their potty/poop situation.

About: I’ve cared for many different kinds of pets since high school. Just in the last two years I’ve learned a lot about dog behavior as my husband and I have adopted two pups of our own. They are both around 2. I love to play and teach them as we are all growing together as a family. I had a dog in high school as well and walked her everyday. I also helped care for our kitties, as we had a few growing up. We also have three kitties now whom we love and play with everyday. Pets are like kids, they all have their own personalities and it’s fun to learn who they are just like people. I’m currently working an odd schedule and it’s been quite slow. Would be nice to make a little extra cash while helping someone else exercise their pup, or take care of them. I like to let pets get to know me and some need more time than others. Depending on the pet they may come to greet me or hide. It’s best to let the pet approach me first when they are ready. I like to use treats for commands, rewards, and/or bribes. Pets love to play and I am good at that! Outside is a little more dangerous as you never know what another person’s dog is like. I usually avoid strange dogs and anything that I see could be harmful. I like a close leash to make sure pets don’t eat strange things on the ground and I can watch them closely to look out for something before they get to it. Pets are quick and you have to see it before they do!

“My pup had a great time here, and I could tell that she was in great hands. Angela was so helpful and professional with everything. Will definitely return!”

“I recently became the proud "father" to an adorable mini schnauzer and needed someone to look after the puppy while at work. Step in Kate. Not only was Kate great with communicating, she was also very punctual and flexible in regards to meeting point, etc. I could also tell that she took great care of my dog during the day as Maxie is always excited to see her. I would highly recommend Kate to anyone needing a helping hand with their pooch, and I plan on asking for her help down the road when needed.”

“Shuvashna is fantastic as always. I went back to her for the second time, this time dropped off Dexter & Deedee for daycare. She constantly gave me updates by sending pictures and videos, and engaged them by playing in the backyard with them. Dexter and Deedee love Shuvashna and I would be happy to be back soon :)”

About: Hi! I’m a full-time animal lover based in Hayward with hands-on experience caring for multiple pets every day. I currently have 6 cats a French Bulldog puppy and a chihuahua , so I understand different personalities, energy levels, and how to keep pets safe, calm, and happy. Whether your pet is playful, shy, or needs extra attention, I’m patient and attentive. I treat every pet like my own and make sure they feel comfortable while you’re away. What you can expect: • Regular photo & video updates • Safe, clean home environment • Flexible schedule & quick responses • Experience with puppies, cats, and multiple pets I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I take that seriously. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry family! I feed my animals twice a day and I walk the dogs twice a day morning and evening. Throughout the day dogs engage in playful fetch and games. They go out in the yard and enjoy the sun and run around. I have decent size house with two yards so plenty of space to run around. I have an extra room if animals need to be seperated.

“Mia had a great time with Ari, we got lots of pics and it is a beautiful and safe neighborhood. Thank you!”
