Dog Boarding Shafter

“Mariola is a lifesaver!!! We had to find a sitter for our senior chihuahua and we couldn’t have found anyone better than Mariola!! Our dog found comfort with Mariola and friends staying at her place. With photo updates we knew Dolly was doing well but could tell she would be in amazing hands as soon as we met Mariola. Her caring and loving spirit is easy to feel as soon as you meet her. Will be using her again without a doubt!!”

“Danielle and Joel are fantastic dog sitters. I truly cannot recommend them enough. They bring me so much peace of mind everytime I leave my little pup with them.”

“Latricia was amazing! Sent me pictures everyday to ensure my pup was safe and happy, and gave great feedback about his behavior when I picked him up. I will definitely trust her with my pup again!”

“Mary was amazing with my dog Atlas! Atlas is quite shy, but he warmed up her so quickly. She sent frequent updates, so I never had to worry about how he was doing, and I really appreciated the fact that she set up a meet and greet before boarding to make sure there was a good fit :) she was also great with his twice daily medication! thank you!”

“Matthew and VJ were amazing sitters for our two dogs, Wrangler and Snacks while we were out of the country for a week! They sent a ton of photos and the boys looked like they were feeling right at home with them and their two dogs. I have a whole write up that I send along with our dogs and they even double checked with me about some discrepancies between the write up and some old info I had accidentally left on Rover to make sure everything was totally clear. We would absolutely book with Matthew and VJ again.”

“Anthony and Nikita were great about keeping us posted. We were confident that B was in loving and attentive care, and the posts and photos proved that.”

“Robert and Brian always do a great job watching my dog Koda! They keep him active and he’s so happy when he’s with them. Can’t ask for better dog sitters”

“Madeleine was awesome with our two year old American Bully Nala for an overnight. Nala got very comfortable with her and we are now doing an extended four nights with her.”

“Marlene and her family were absolutely amazing! We left Bean with them for 12 days while we were out of the country, and had such peace of mind knowing how lovingly he was being cared for. They sent regular updates and we could tell Bean was genuinely happy being with them. He grew very attached and close to them. We will definitely reach out to Marlene to care for Bean again.”

“We can’t recommend Megan and Jenny enough. We booked an extended stay for our pup and they provided us with regular pictures and updates. Our dog came back happy and healthy, and we won’t hesitate to rebook in the future!”

“Hey and her husband were amazing hosts to Bowser. They took great care of him and he came back happy as always. Would love to have him watch Bowser again.”

“Angela was wonderful dog sitting my pup for a long weekend! She was quick to respond, happy to have an initial meet and greet and sent me tons of updates during his stay. My dog was well cared for and I’d be happy to use Angela again”

“Dylan and his wife took amazing care of my sweet dog, Lulu. They went way, way above and beyond when I was in a bind and she needed extra care. They were thoughtful, responsive, and so kind. I recommend them to everyone I know that needs dog care!!!”

“Len was fantastic! He took care of our pup Wisco after our last minute change of travel plans for 4th of July weekend. Our dog is older, had just started some medication, and also is afraid of fireworks (so not ideal to be away from home during 4th of July). That said, Len made sure to understand her sensitivities so he could create an environment where she felt safe/comfortable given the holiday weekend. He shared the cutest photos of her while we were away, and we came to a very happy dog. Would absolutely book with Len again.”

Taylor & Julian D.

“Kelly was amazing! She sent pictures and videos of our precious baby being pampered every day we were gone! When we had a travel upset she was very understanding and accommodating to our change of plans. We picked our darling up to find that she'd been bathed and had her her harness and collar washed. Kelly even sent us home with a bag of treats. We had a much more relaxing vacation knowing that our darling was having such a great time with Kelly! One thousand stars!”

About: I have been caring for dogs and cats since childhood and deeply love connecting with animals. I supported my last dog through her later years and have sensitivity to the needs of elder puppies. I also enjoy the energy of younger dogs and live right near San Pablo park for dogs who like to socialize. I mostly work from home with occasional in person meetings during the week. I am available for pet care throughout the week and can let dogs out to the back yard throughout the day. I live in a quiet but lively neighborhood with lots of great areas to walk and sniff. The back yard is fenced in and allows space to lounge in the sun. There are no other pets or humans currently in the house so it is very peaceful and quiet most of the time. I don't take dogs from more than one household at a time. I check in on the pets I care for regularly and track their emotional as well as physical needs, giving pets and butt scratches often!

“Josephine was great. She clearly loved dogs and seemed totally unfazed by puppy energy. She was responsive throughout and most importantly Stitch came back happy. We’d be happy to bring stitch back.”

“Alex took very great care of our dog while my partner and I have to both be away for a week. My dog has rarely been with sitters and is very nervous around new people. Alex has been great at accommodating all of my dog’s needs, and have a great environment to make my dog feels as comfortable as she can. Alex is very prompt with communication, and provided daily picture/video and detailed updates of my dog. Alex has a ton of experience with dogs so I would definitely leave my dog in her care again.”
