“Shuvashna has been amazing with our puppy, Tofu! She’s super flexible, always keeps us updated with photos and videos, and even stepped up to take Tofu to the vet when we were out of town. Tofu loves spending time with her and her family, and we couldn’t be happier with how well she’s cared for him.”

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.

“This was the first time I brought Charcoal with Rosa, she is kind and at the end of each day it was seen that Charcoal had been comfortable. Rosa answered messages quickly and sent photos of our dog. Of course I would take Charcoal with her again. She also speaks Spanish which was a plus.”

“Buffy had the best time here! Zo was very accommodating, she took my last min request and worked with my drop off and pick up time. It’s such a relief knowing my dog was cared for well, as well as had play time with her dog. I got pictures of Buffy’s status and was given updates. Definitely returning!”

About: I care for pets like my own. I go above and beyond and make sure they are clean and happy. I love taking the dogs I care for on long walks and I also enjoy playing with them, and giving them attention through a good 'ole fashioned belly rub. I am happily retired and love animals. My husband and I were pet owners to a beautiful spunky, honey-colored Pomeranian, named Daisy. Sadly she passed away in 2021 after 13 beautiful years together. I haven't replaced her since. I dog/pet sit for my friends' dogs on occasion. Pet sitting helps fill the void of my Daisy and I would like to do it more for those that may need it. My friends and family entrust me with their pets because they know I will care for them as my own. When I dog sit, I give them attention, play with them, and take them on walks. If I'm not taking them for a walk around the neighborhood or the local park, I have a backyard for them to handle their immediate business. I have a fenced backyard, a spacious living room and a large bonus room that is connected to our living room that allows dogs space to roam around. And if requested, I can also administer medications or have your dog sleep in their crate, if needed.

“Jasmine is an amazing dog sitter!! We went to Disneyland so our pet stood with her for 2 days. She did great!! Always gave us updates and sent us pictures of our pet. She’s cool and lovely, she made us feel confident about leaving our pet with her. Definitely I'll reach her again for another trip!”

“Excellent doggie day care. Handled our dog, Stevie, really well. It was an extremely hot day which presented its own challenge. Extra steps were taken to keep Stevie cool. Highly recommend Caitlin.”

“Zach was extremely responsive and shared pictures throughout our pup's stay. He also managed to get our extremely high energy dog tired by the end of the day, which is incredible.”

About: Our dogs are the most important beings in our lives. We want to share our oasis with other small dogs. Our goal is to have an animal sanctuary with many kinds of animals, but we are starting with small dogs in our home. We have two small loving dogs, Button, a 7 year-old Lhasa Apso, and Bow, a 5 year-old Daschapoo. Our dogs have their own nursery, and our canine guests will stay next door in their own space. We have a beautiful garden the dogs will have continual access to, as well as two walks a day--one a longer adventure to Chabot Park, the beach, or a comparable change of scenery. We have always been very stressed about leaving our dogs when we go away, and all the commercial pet resorts seem to be glorified kennels: noisy, spartan, overwhelming, incommensurately expensive for what they offer. We are new to hosting canine guests; the Doge Palace is brand new, so we will only be taking one small dog at a time and keeping our initial rates artificially below market rate. Your dog needs to be trained not to pee or poo in the house and be accustomed to spending time with other dogs. Our guests will sleep in their own bed nestled near our own dogs. In the future, half of the proceeds will be donated to the East Bay SPCA to provide assistance to people who cannot afford veterinary care and Nobody's Perfekt Dogs and Cats Rescue for disabled or elderly dogs. At the moment, we want to help the many abandoned pets in Ukraine, so we will be sending contributions there and to Poland where pets of refugees are in need of help. Jeffrey routinely does pro-bono work through his college counseling company for the SPCA--his regular rates are paid for through a direct donation to the SPCA by the client. We want to grow these donations by contributing half of what we make to two animal care organizations and the rest to our dream of having an animal sanctuary. We have a dedicated dog nursery where they can play, a beautiful large fenced-in, quiet garden oasis, and plenty of toys. The dogs get to get out half a dozen times a day for potty breaks and to enjoy themselves outside. We take them out on a walk at noon and in the early evening. Our canine guests will get a one hour-long outing to a park or beach. Robert is a biotech executive that works from home three days a week, and Jeffrey is a professor who works at home all the time. There will always be somebody home and when we leave the house for more than a couple hours, we bring the dogs with us.
