“This is our third time having Mary board our cats and we’ll definitely be continuing to use her! Mary takes great care of our cats and we appreciate how much time she spends hanging out with them while they’re with her. The boarding space is beautifully set up with all the things a cat could want: big window with a cat tree for bird watching, toys, cozy spots to hide, wall mounted platforms, and much more! Mary has a ton of cat experience so we always breathe a sigh of relief when she’s watching them because we know they’re in such good hands. We highly recommend Mary if you’re looking for somewhere to board your cats!”
“I am beyond relieved to have found the perfect sitter for Coco. Robin and Dan suggested a meet and greet and then a trial stay so that Coco would get to know them before leaving her there for a longer period. During the two day trial, I was given updates via text, photos and videos. They kept Coco entertained and very well taken care of. They are the sweetest couple and they genuinely love what they do. I highly recommend them!”
“I left my dog for the first time and was a bit nervous but Olivia made the process super easy. She provided updates and pictures which helped eased my nerves. My dog seemed to have a great time and overall the process was super easy. I will be continuing to use her in the future as much as I can!”
“Cindy is the absolute best!!! This was my first time using Rover or leaving my dogs with anyone other than friends/family for that matter, but Cindy’s care and attention to my dogs made my experience everything I could ask for and more!!! Cindy and her family’s care for my dogs was next to none and I was updated on their status every step of the way multiple times a day!!! It was like my dogs got their own vacation as well while in Cindy’s care…I’m not really even sure they actually wanted to come back home with me when my trip was over lol!!! If ur looking for the perfect dog sitter then look no further and don’t hesitate to book as your dogs will be in the best hands with Cindy and her family!!! Cindy, I truly can’t thank you enough for caring for my fur babies!!! We will definitely be booking with you again soon as I’m sure my dogs are ready for another vacation lol!!! 🐶❤️🐶”
About: I’ve had dogs all my life and genuinely enjoy caring for them. I provide a safe, loving home environment and care for one family’s pet at a time so your dog gets plenty of attention and individualized care. I’ll follow your pet’s routine and make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and right at home while you’re away. I work a hybrid schedule and provide boarding throughout the week and on weekends. Dogs in my care should be comfortable spending a 1-2 hours independently at a time while I am running errands, or attending to other commitments (picking kid up from camp or school for example). Mondays and Thursdays are typically office days, so these days are my longest periods away from home (~8 hours during the day). Outside of those times, dogs receive plenty of attention, affection, walks, and care. I want both pets and their owners to feel comfortable and at ease. I provide a safe, family-oriented home and care for one family’s pet at a time. I’ll follow your dog’s routine, feeding schedule, medications, and any special instructions, and I’m happy to send updates and photos while you’re away.
“Outstanding Dog Sitting Service by Sare! If I could give Sare 10 stars, I would. I needed a dog sitter for a week while I was away for work, and I was nervous about leaving Cosmo with someone new. However, Sare exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I dropped Cosmo off, Sare put my mind at ease. She not only took excellent care of Cosmo but went above and beyond. She even took him on daily hikes on our favorite trail, something I never expected anyone else to do. The videos and photos she sent me daily made it clear that Cosmo was in great hands and truly enjoying his time. Cosmo bonded with Sare’s dog, Leia, and it was clear they had built a trusting relationship. This was Cosmo’s first time with a dog sitter, and Sare made it a positive experience. Unlike the impersonal dog boarding facilities, Sare provided Cosmo with the quality care and attention he needed. I’m incredibly fortunate to have found Sare, and I highly recommend her to anyone in need of a dog sitter. Thanks to her, I was able to focus on my work with complete peace of mind. I will definitely reach out to her again!”
About: I’ve always been passionate about caring for animals, and I understand what it means to entrust your pet to someone else. Pets aren’t just animals — they’re family. As the devoted owner of a Shih Tzu, I specialize in caring for smaller breeds. I understand their unique needs, from their delicate nature to their often “big” personalities, and I know how important it is to find a sitter you can truly trust with your pet. I’ve become the go-to sitter for friends and family because they know I prioritize safety, consistency, and genuine affection. Whether it’s an energetic walk, a fun play session, or simply providing a calm and comforting presence for a more anxious pup, I tailor my care to each dog’s individual personality and needs. I can cater to your pet throughout the day with walks, feeding, playtime, bathroom breaks, and supervision as needed. I aim to keep their routine consistent as possible. Since my husband is also available to step in and help, you can have peace of mind knowing that someone will always be right there to watch over your pet. I would love the opportunity to provide your pet with the same attention, patience, and care that I give my own. Your pet will be cared for in my home in a safe, calm, and comfortable environment, with frequent updates so owners feel confident while they're away.
“Lea took excellent care of my fur babies! She treated them as if they were her own. She sent me pictures and updated me throughout their stay. I would highly recommend Lea - she was so great!”
“Lula's second stay with Angélica was just as good as her first. She felt right at home and we received plenty of updates and photos of her having a great time. Thank you again, Angélica!”
“Harper was our first dog sitter for our 6 month old puppy Mac, and she was amazing! I really appreciate how Harper kept us updated throughout the day with photos and videos. Thank you Harper! 100% rebooking with you next time!”
“Arryonna was absolutely amazing!! She took great care of our wild puppy for a whole weekend. She updated me daily with pics & videos. We met ahead of time to be sure everything felt comfortable when introducing our pup to her own animals. I can’t say enough good things about our experience”
“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!”
“We are so glad we took our dog Thor to Shuvashna for boarding. She took good care of him. We highly recommend her. If her place was on our way to work we would bring Thor to her place because they have a big backyard and he can play with other dogs.”
“Ellie had an amazing time with Natallia. She took notes of all my instructions and paid extra attention to things that Ellie is a little bit shy of doing or eating. I definitely would trust Natallia to take care of my dog again!”
“April and Josh took care of our Charlie so well. Charlie is a high energetic Labrador with too much of separation anxiety and we were really worried to leave him for 2 nights. We did a meet & greet the day before, and Charlie got instantly comfortable. Their dog Boba is very lovable and gentle. April communicated regularly and responded in a timely fashion and also sent lots of pictures. Charlie was very happy and well taken care of! I would feel completely comfortable leaving Charlie in their care again!”
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.
“Angela and Josh were fantastic! We had to find a sitter last minute and Angela and Josh were very accommodating. We had a meet and greet with them so we can ask questions, get to know the dogs, and see if this would be a nice fit. They shared videos and pictures with us and I felt comfortable and ensured that our dogs were in the best care possible. Even with Xena, our shy and cautious dog, she finally warmed up to Angela and Josh and it seemed like there were no problems! Definitely will consider them when we need to find a sitter!”

“Kimberly is truly a superstar. She is SO thoughtful, thorough, and reliable. She really tried to give my cat quality time and engagement the hour she was there each day even though he’s not always the friendliest guy. She was so attentive to him and wrote far more than necessary - but it was really comforting to hear the report of how he’s doing in detail. She is the mature caring trustworthy pet sitter you want!”
“Angelica was lovely! My two cats were fine when I got home and she also helped take care of my chickens. I received updates daily and I didn’t worry about the care for my animals. Will definitely book her again!”
“Krystle was amazing with our cat! She helped with all the things I asked for and went above and beyond and helped with other things like ant invasion when we were away. She was extremely patient and sweet with our cat that was hiding under the couch during her visits. She was able to get our cat to play with her after couple of days, thanks to Krystle’s gentle approach. I was comfortable being away and knew that my cat was being treated well and taken care of. I 100% recommend Krystle! She’s truly the best. I’ll definitely reach out to her if I need a sitter again.”
“Angela stayed with our cat while we were out of town for two weeks. She did an amazing job caring for our cat and our house, as well as providing frequent updates and photos.”
About: I have cared for and loved cats all of my life. I have 3 elderly cats that I’ve had since 1st grade. I have taken care of many of my family’s cats and cared for them as if they were my own. I have also helped take care of stray kittens until they were old enough to get spayed/neutered.
“My cats warmed right up to Demi! It was a great peace of mind having her stay in my home with them so they wouldn't be bored or lonely with an empty house while I was away on a weekend trip. Demi was communicative and sent frequent updates and pictures, which I really appreciated. I will definitely be booking with her again!”

“Denisse was the most responsive and easy to work with sitter that I have ever had. She responded to my request immediately, and just very quick and helpful throughout the process. She sent me thorough updates during time she was caring for my senior cat with mild medical needs, two rats, and a fish, and even voluntarily made two extra trips, one to meet the animals, and another to return the key. I could tell she was a real cat lover and genuinely happy to be with the animals.”
“Thank you Angela for taking care of our Vader while we were away. We appreciate the extra care of bringing in our mail, cleaning his litter box, and giving him a brushing.”
“We only had Lisa Marie stop by for one day but we’re verify happy with her service! Instructions were followed and there was good communication. There was only one minor misunderstanding which wasn’t too big of a deal. We’d be glad to have Lisa look after our kitties again”

“She was incredibly patient and caring with my puppy. Since he hasn’t completed all of his vaccinations yet, she was able to accommodate him by only watching one dog at a time, which gave me great peace of mind. She regularly sent me photos and updates, so I always knew how he was doing. She also helped with his potty training and was very attentive to his needs. I could tell she genuinely cared about him and treated him like her own. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and responsible dog sitter! I will definitely rebook her if needed in the future! Thanks Yan!”
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.
“Absolutely love having my guys stay with Cindy! She’s great with communicating and sending photos throughout the day. My guys always seem happy going and when I pick them up.”
“Harper was an incredible find for us, and we couldn't be more grateful! This was our first time using the Rover app, and we were in a bit of a bind. A family member who usually puppy-sits our young Chihuahua had to cancel last minute, leaving us scrambling for a solution. Enter Harper. After finding the app and seeing her glowing reviews, we booked her on ultra-short notice. The drop-off was pretty hectic—our little pup was already stressed out from the sudden change, and poor Harper had to step in under less-than-ideal circumstances. But she handled it like a pro! When we picked him up, he was completely calm and relaxed—a huge testament to Harper’s care and patience. She had taken him on a walk to the park and made sure he felt safe and happy. We’re beyond impressed with her professionalism and warmth. Harper has our highest recommendation, and we’ll definitely be turning to her again in the future!”
“Tatiana is a nice, sweet, and pleasant lady. She welcomed us even though I was late for a scheduled drop off time. She answered my questions right away and I understood how she spent her day with Tatiana’s care. She took my dog out to the park and walked her around the park. I know my dog enjoyed staying with her because she seemed tired when I picked her up and went to sleep right after we got home.”
“Shuvashna is my go-to sitter on Rover. Big thing is I love how many pictures and videos she sends me throughout the day. This sitting, I made a last-minute change in the pick-up time and she was soo accommodating. Bori always has a great time here and is drained after her stay; and honestly that’s pretty hard to do.”
“Natalia is a great care giver to my dog. She walked my dog for a long time which my dog loved and enjoyed accompanying to my dog. I’ll ask her again. I would appreciate more pics if I could ask. Overall, she is great.”
“Kyuupi had an amazing time with Angélica and her family. She was very communicative and sent a lot of update pictures and videos. I would definitely consider them again!”

“Jenna is amazing. We left our little Frankie there for a few hours today, our first time leaving him with anyone. We received photos and a video while we were away. He even started to whimper as we buckled him in to the truck as we left her house. We will definitely be using Jenna’s care again. She has experience with animals who need extra TLC so after our little guys hip surgery we will be leaning on her for some extra help! Highly recommend!!!”

“Jackie and Jannalea were very sweet and patient with my dog Ponyo. Ponyo got her walks and they managed to take the same route that I usually do without my prompting! Got photos and updates each time so I knew what was going on. Wouldn't hesitate to book again!”
About: I have experience taking care of dogs because I grew up with them. Being around dogs has always felt natural to me, so I understand the basics of feeding them, walking them, playing with them, keeping them comfortable, and paying attention to what they need. I’m gentle, patient, and attentive, but I’m also playful, so I enjoy making sure dogs are not just cared for, but actually happy and engaged. I know every dog has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, so I would always respect the owner’s instructions and take time to understand what works best for their dog. I’m currently in college and home for the summer, so my schedule is very open and flexible. I’m available for walks, playtime, drop-ins, and consistent care throughout the week. I’m happy to work with your dog’s routine and make scheduling easy for you. I care for pets by keeping their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. In a client’s home, I would follow their instructions carefully, whether that includes feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medication, or general house rules. I want pets to feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. For walks or visits, I would stay aware of my surroundings, keep dogs secure on their leash, avoid unsafe situations, and pay attention to how they’re acting. My goal is for the pet to feel cared for and for the owner to feel relaxed knowing their dog is safe and in good hands.

“Cassandra has been taking care of my boys since early May. She is reliable, punctual, thoughtful, and caring. During their first week together, she left me a Polaroid photo of my boy, which was such a nice surprise. I really appreciated the photo and the text updates she sent. Thank you, Cassandra! Monty is always happy to see you and enjoys your visits.”
About: I’ve owned a Pitbull for 15 years and most recently I’ve rescued another Pitbull pup from the Hayward dog shelter. We love our local dog parks. I am a teacher for HUSD and currently on summer break. So I have a lot of down time right now if you need a break from your dog. I take my own dog to the local dog parks and much as I can. I also walk the neighborhoods to keep her active. I have a balcony where she uses the restroom on pads and grass and we plenty of toys in the apartment to keep busy.
About: I’m one of those people who spots a dog and instantly wants to go play/pet it. I have a 2 year old super mutt pittie mix. I learned a lot about training and handling dogs through her. I’m great at being consistent with training, for example when my friends are training their dog I make sure to reinforce the rules to their expectations. So please just let me know what you’re working on and I’ll make sure to keep up the training when I interact with the dog. As long as I have a list of what the dog needs I can make it happen and show lots of love. I am comfortable with dogs of all ages and breeds. However, if a dog is easily agitated by other dogs I would need to know so I can have a plan for that. I will make sure to give your dog enough exercise, I love playing fetch and tug a war. I will do home visits to play with your pet or go to feed them. I can do this with cats too! I am off for the summer and have a pretty open calendar! So if you need a weekend just ask if I’m available. I love meeting new fur friends :)
“Kate did a great job walking our giant and rambunctious Labradane, Winston. We needed her last minute and she was very responsive. She always showed up on time and Winston immediately took to her very well. I loved the report cards & Winston was very happy when he got home. Thanks so much!”

About: I have over 8 years of experience caring for both dogs and cats, and I truly love what I do. While I specialize in small dogs, I’m comfortable with medium-sized pups too. I’ve cared for pets of all ages — from playful 10-week-old puppies and kittens to sweet senior pets who just need gentle walks and extra attention. Every pet has their own personality, and I’m patient and experienced with animals that may be shy, energetic, or require special care (including medication administration or those who prefer being the only pet around). I love going on walks, playing fetch, visiting local parks, and spending quality time with pets so they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. (Nature walks are my favorite too!) It’s truly a privilege to care for dogs and cats, and I treat every pet like my own. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family soon! 🐶🐱 I am available for Cat and dog/house sitting starting January 4th, 2026. I am looking to sit with Cats but small or older dogs are fine. I am available to sit in : Peninsula, East Bay, (specfic neighborhoods I love are: Berkeley, Alameda, Piedmont, Rockridge, Temescal ), San Francisco, and surrounding areas. When I am at a clients home I treat their cat or dog with love, respect, guidance, and warmth. I approach pets for the first time slowly to give them a chance to sniff me or rub noses with me/check me out. Once I get to know the pet then I engage in play, cuddling and assuring talk.

About: HOURS Drop Offs and Pickups By Appointment Only • 8:30 AM to 6 PM Monday through Friday • 9 AM to 11:30 AM Saturday and Sunday • Confirmed appointments only • No drop offs or pickups on holidays. Hello and thanks for reading my profile. My name is Robert and I’ve always been passionate about dogs. I previously bred, trained, and showed Doberman Pinschers. I also raised a Miniature Pinscher who lived to nearly 18 years old. Growing up, I had a unique mixed breed dog that looked similar to an Old English Sheepdog. He was a mix of German Shepherd, Labrador Retriever, and Pekingese. I host your family member in my home and provide a structured, home based boarding environment. Questions? Feel free to inquire.

“I was thoroughly and pleasantly surprised by how quickly Henry bonded with Brian. Brian was not only efficient and effective but also timely and professional. It was an absolute delight to have him around, both for me and my dog. I highly recommend Brian and will definitely continue using his services through Rover in the future.”
About: I have worked in a dog boarding facility, always taking care to clients both humans and pets including love and care of all. Feeding, bathing, love and tender care are just some of the things I have done here as well as care for elderly, pups, and disabled dogs. I am pretty open and available throughout the week and weekends. I do have my own cat so I need to make sure I tend to them some time in the day. Safety, care, and love as well always on alert for danger or potential threats. I am always putting my all in and love building rapport and relations with my clients for best outcome and safety.
“After my initial meeting with Ann-Marie I felt very secure with leaving Mia in her hands while I’m at work. Ann-Marie has been walking Mia during the week for a few months now and has proven to be very professional, consistent, responsible, and truly cares about Mia’s well being. I would 100% recommend her to for your pet care needs.”
About: I have been caring for pets since I was 10 years old and have experience looking after my own pets as well as those of family members and friends! Over the years, I have provided a variety of pet care services, including taking pets on walks, playing with them, feeding them, and bathing them. My experience has helped me develop a strong understanding of pet needs and a genuine love for caring for animals! I'm available on weekdays from 10am-5pm and weekends from after 2pm! Feel free to please reach out even if it seems that I'm not available! I am pretty open unless I have another schedule / bookings. Please try to request a few weeks out so we can guarantee a meet & greet! I have a reliable transportation to go to farther places if needed. I have a fenced backyard for your pets to play in! I have a two story home that allows your pets to comfortably roam around. I currently have no personal pets residing in my house so I will be able to take care of your pet more properly one on one!
About: I have years of veterinary medicine experience and have unexpected free time to take good care of your cute family members. I am trained on various diseases and emergency situations. I am able to care for pets at their home. I will ensure they are fed on time and they get potty breaks as the owner requests. I have a beagle at home which I take good care of and have my family to help take care of her should I be hired to go to a client’s home to care for their pets.
About: Hi! We’re Carlos & Andrea, a pet-loving couple who truly treats every dog like part of our family. Together, we bring years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and personalities. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted us for years to walk, feed, bathe, play with, and care for their beloved pets. Pet care is a natural part of our daily routine. We both work during the day, but we carefully plan our schedules to ensure every pet in our care gets the attention, exercise, and companionship they need. Whether it’s morning walks, evening playtime, overnight stays, or weekend boarding, we work together to provide reliable, loving care. We enjoy staying active and spending time with animals, so caring for pets fits seamlessly into our lives. We always make time for walks, potty breaks, feeding, enrichment, cuddles, and regular updates, so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. As a team, we’re able to provide reliable, attentive care and make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re with us. We understand that every dog is unique, so we take the time to learn their routine, personality, and preferences to help them feel right at home. Your pets safety is our priority. We know how important it is to stay connected while you’re away, so we’ll keep you updated with plenty of photos, videos, and messages throughout all the service.

“I left my dog for the first time and was a bit nervous but Olivia made the process super easy. She provided updates and pictures which helped eased my nerves. My dog seemed to have a great time and overall the process was super easy. I will be continuing to use her in the future as much as I can!”
“Cindy is the absolute best!!! This was my first time using Rover or leaving my dogs with anyone other than friends/family for that matter, but Cindy’s care and attention to my dogs made my experience everything I could ask for and more!!! Cindy and her family’s care for my dogs was next to none and I was updated on their status every step of the way multiple times a day!!! It was like my dogs got their own vacation as well while in Cindy’s care…I’m not really even sure they actually wanted to come back home with me when my trip was over lol!!! If ur looking for the perfect dog sitter then look no further and don’t hesitate to book as your dogs will be in the best hands with Cindy and her family!!! Cindy, I truly can’t thank you enough for caring for my fur babies!!! We will definitely be booking with you again soon as I’m sure my dogs are ready for another vacation lol!!! 🐶❤️🐶”
About: I’ve had dogs all my life and genuinely enjoy caring for them. I provide a safe, loving home environment and care for one family’s pet at a time so your dog gets plenty of attention and individualized care. I’ll follow your pet’s routine and make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and right at home while you’re away. I work a hybrid schedule and provide boarding throughout the week and on weekends. Dogs in my care should be comfortable spending a 1-2 hours independently at a time while I am running errands, or attending to other commitments (picking kid up from camp or school for example). Mondays and Thursdays are typically office days, so these days are my longest periods away from home (~8 hours during the day). Outside of those times, dogs receive plenty of attention, affection, walks, and care. I want both pets and their owners to feel comfortable and at ease. I provide a safe, family-oriented home and care for one family’s pet at a time. I’ll follow your dog’s routine, feeding schedule, medications, and any special instructions, and I’m happy to send updates and photos while you’re away.
“Outstanding Dog Sitting Service by Sare! If I could give Sare 10 stars, I would. I needed a dog sitter for a week while I was away for work, and I was nervous about leaving Cosmo with someone new. However, Sare exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I dropped Cosmo off, Sare put my mind at ease. She not only took excellent care of Cosmo but went above and beyond. She even took him on daily hikes on our favorite trail, something I never expected anyone else to do. The videos and photos she sent me daily made it clear that Cosmo was in great hands and truly enjoying his time. Cosmo bonded with Sare’s dog, Leia, and it was clear they had built a trusting relationship. This was Cosmo’s first time with a dog sitter, and Sare made it a positive experience. Unlike the impersonal dog boarding facilities, Sare provided Cosmo with the quality care and attention he needed. I’m incredibly fortunate to have found Sare, and I highly recommend her to anyone in need of a dog sitter. Thanks to her, I was able to focus on my work with complete peace of mind. I will definitely reach out to her again!”
“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!”
“Ellie had an amazing time with Natallia. She took notes of all my instructions and paid extra attention to things that Ellie is a little bit shy of doing or eating. I definitely would trust Natallia to take care of my dog again!”
“April and Josh took care of our Charlie so well. Charlie is a high energetic Labrador with too much of separation anxiety and we were really worried to leave him for 2 nights. We did a meet & greet the day before, and Charlie got instantly comfortable. Their dog Boba is very lovable and gentle. April communicated regularly and responded in a timely fashion and also sent lots of pictures. Charlie was very happy and well taken care of! I would feel completely comfortable leaving Charlie in their care again!”
“Angela and Josh were fantastic! We had to find a sitter last minute and Angela and Josh were very accommodating. We had a meet and greet with them so we can ask questions, get to know the dogs, and see if this would be a nice fit. They shared videos and pictures with us and I felt comfortable and ensured that our dogs were in the best care possible. Even with Xena, our shy and cautious dog, she finally warmed up to Angela and Josh and it seemed like there were no problems! Definitely will consider them when we need to find a sitter!”
“Nora had a great time with Sameer and his family. Sameer sent me photos of her and keep me up to date on how she was doing. It was her first time away from me since March. I will use Sameer again for my next vacation.”
“Ari was wonderful! My dog stayed with him for 5 nights. He shared daily updates and gave me great peace of mind that my dog was with someone I could trust. I will be booking him again!”
“Astrid and her family took such good care of my puppy! My puppy was very comfortable and happy staying with her and her family. She is knowledgeable, kind, and sent updates throughout his stay. Highly recommended her! Will be booking with her again. Thanks, Astrid!”
About: I’m an owner of a 3 year old Doberman who I trained myself. I am very comfortable with high energy, intelligent breeds and structured routines. My whole life I was around farm animals, especially horses, chickens, goats, cows and dogs. They have been apart of my life since I was a little girl and have always loved being around animals. They’re truly amazing, and intelligent!!! I’m a patient person, attentive, and committed to keeping your pet safe! I am excited to meet you and your fur baby! 🐾🐶🐕🦺🦮🐩🦴🐕 I am currently working part-time and my availability is very flexible. My schedule gives me lots of free time, so I’m able to focus on meeting your pet’s needs and giving them plenty of love and attention. I treat your fur baby as if they were my own making them feel love, secured and well cared for. I will always send pictures and updates to their owners. 📸🤳
“Jocelyn took excellent care of our dog, Shadow. She was friendly, attentive, and clearly adored him and formed a genuine bond with him. She followed all of our care instructions carefully and sent frequent updates, which gave us confidence and peace of mind while we were away. Shadow looked happy, relaxed, and very well cared for throughout the stay. We would gladly trust Jocelyn with him again.”
About: Hi! I’m a dog lover with 3 years of experience caring for dogs of different personalities and energy levels. I work from home, which allows me to give pups plenty of attention and take them on 3–4 walks a day around the neighborhood. I live 3 blocks from Lake Chabot and love taking dogs on walks there so they can enjoy fresh air, exercise, and new smells. I also live near a dog park about 2 blocks away. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I also send daily photo and video updates so you can see how your pup is doing. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions. Thanks! :) I work from home, so I can spend lots of quality time with your pup! I’m available for boarding on both weekdays and weekends. I live in a house with my mom and occasionally help my sister and boyfriend take care of their pets, so I’m comfortable caring for dogs and understanding their needs. I can provide plenty of walks, playtime, attention, and care throughout the day to help your pup feel safe and comfortable.
“Minfang is very nice and accommodating. I was super anxious at first since it would be the first time my dog is gonna be staying with a someone who’s not a family member. But Minfang’s aura made me confident that my boy is gonna be fine. She sent me a lot of pictures and when I picked him up, he was a happy boy. I’d get her again for sure.”
“Socorro is amazing! Our two little guys came home healthy and happy. She sent us plenty of photos and updates to let us know our cats were doing well. Pick up and drop off was super easy and smooth and she was really responsive when it came to communication, and had everything ready to go when we arrived for pick up. Would highly recommend and we definitely plan on booking with her again in the future.”
“This was our boys' first overnight boarding stay. We received daily updates and they seemed comfortable and happy while they were there. Looking forward to their next visit.”
“Robert is the best. He's been watching our doggos for every trip we've taken this past year. I never worry. He loves our dogs, spoils them, and cares for them when they're injured and sleeping over. Our old boy threw out his shoulder, before his stay with Robert, and the care and compassion Robert displayed was next level. We are so grateful for him. If he's available,book it--no need to overthink it. :)”
