Matthew and Van Jospeh did a wonderful job hosting our dog, Stanley, for a 2 night stay. They were very easy to work with, were flexible, very friendly, and Stanley seemed at ease the moment he met them. Would absolutely use their boarding services again. Thank you!

Our dog loved having a staycation with Mariola and the handful of other small doggy friends in her house. It's clear that Mariola is a caring, knowledgeable sitter and provides the highest quality of care to each animal -- our pup seemed happy to stay forever, even when the sit was done. We are glad to have found her and are just as excited as our dog to book again in the future.

Karen & Hisako were so great and patient with my anxious boy! He normally won’t walk with anyone besides me, but they got him to walk all the way around the block with them! Mini victory!

Madeleine was great with my dog Julio! She took our very last minute request and was very responsive. She gave updates and photos each day, which put me at ease since Julio is a high anxiety dog. I would definitely book her again!

This was such a great boarding experience! My pup is elderly and requires some patience and attention, and they were so kind and thoughtful with her. She got a bit sick on the first day and they let me know right away and were happy to make changes to her routine to work with it. I got consistent updates with pictures and felt totally certain that my dog was well cared for the entire time. Definitely one of the best dogsitters I've used through this site.

Maya (Anchisa) was an exceptional sitter for our furry son. We took a 5 day family vacation and she watched our 17 lb dog. Maya sent multiple updates every day and seemed to like taking as many photos and videos of our little guy as we do! We feel very comfortable trusting Maya with our dog.

Jeff & Beth and his children are great sitters. We’re so grateful to have found them! They sent multiple pictures and messages letting me know how our dog Luna was doing throughout her stay. They made the drop off and pick up so easy which is a huge bonus! And Luna came home happy and healthy! You can tell that they really enjoy looking after dogs. They are just really nice people!

Mary is absolutely incredible. Our dog, Finn, is a quirky senior who is often slow to trust strangers - within 24 hours of being with Mary, he was asking her for pets and cuddles! That tells you all you need to know. She was extremely communicative, sent us lots of cute pictures and overall left us so at ease knowing our little guy was cared for. Can’t recommend her enough!

Karen did a wonderful job taking care of my large dog during a long weekend. When I did an initial meet and greet with Karen and my energetic and somewhat excitable dog, her calm demeanor and knowledge of dogs put me at ease. During my pup's stay with Karen, he enjoyed a long hike through a beautiful park and rolled around in the grass in her enclosed backyard. Karen even got my dog used to a new, gentler harness. From what I could tell, my dog had a great time with Karen!

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.

Alex was a last minute God-send for me and my pup, Maxwell. She was super flexible as I managed flight and life delays. Her home is located in a great place for doggie to run and play - right across the street from a beautiful park! And it was clear that both her and her kiddos are big time animal lovers. Her partner even pitched in to help re-stich his bed that was falling apart when I dropped him off. Above and beyond! I would definitely recommend Alex and her family to offer consistent, loving and fun care for your pets.

Joann was wonderful with Gus. She was communicative, reliable, and clearly cared a lot about making sure he was happy and comfortable. She kept us updated, took him on walks, gave him plenty of love and attention, and sent us pics. It was very clear from the updates that Gus was having a great time. We felt completely at ease knowing he was in good hands and would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend!
