“I love leaving Harper with my puppy to doggy board. Harper is really communicative about my puppy’s needs as well as updating me 2-3 times a day. I would recommend Harper to anyone and also go to her again for doggy boarding. House is nice and warm, as well as Harper’s personality.”

“Lea kept Prince, our Pomeranian, for a week while we were on vacation attending a family reunion. She is a great communicator and sends pictures and notes daily on how Prince is doing. We felt very comfortable leaving him in her care. Seeing him relaxed and happy assured us he felt right at home! We would not hesitate to use her services again. Thank you so much, Lea! Prince misses you already! 🥰”
About: I’ve lived with dogs my whole life caring for many different breeds and personalities. Most recently I had a Rhodesian Ridgeback but have also had Labradors and Cavalier King Charles Spaniels in the past. I work from home and am only gone for a 1-3 hours during the day. My wife works from home and will be with the dog to keep them company. I have 2 kids aged 2 and 4 who are home after 5:30pm and all day on the weekend I have a fenced in yard with grass and plenty of room for the dog to roam. Dogs are allowed on our couch and bed as well.
“Gianina was so great with our dog Coco and she was also able to accommodate us despite our almost last minute request! She took such good care of him during the one whole week stay and was very attentive to his needs and comfort! We’re also glad to hear he got along with her dog, Mickey! My family really appreciated the pictures and updates she sent us regarding Coco as well. We wholeheartedly recommend Gianina’s services since she took such wonderful care of our dog and am sure she would do the same for yours!! ?”
“It is such a good feeling knowing Gus is save and happy with Izzy and his family. We get regular photos and updates, which allows us to have a stress free vacation. His entire family makes Gus’s stay a great one.”
“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!”
“Ari is amazing! He stayed with our doggie for 5 nights and 6 days. Ari sent photos and videos which we greatly appreciated. Our dog can get rashy if she's on grass for too long. She was happy, loved, and rash free when we picked her up. Thank you so much again Ari! We appreciate you! Our doggy will definitely be back :)”
“Angelica was such an attentive and communicative care taker. She really went above and beyond to prep for Leo's visit, handled some last minute additional care instructions due to a scratch in his eye, and really made the whole experience so lovely and reassuring. Highly recommend!”
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.
“I’m very attached to my dog so I’m always nervous having her stay with other people. We just moved to the area and I am so glad I found Angela and Josh! I can tell they really care about all the dogs since the first interaction with them. They are very professional and detail oriented in my dog’s care. Hazel told me she had so much fun at their house and can’t wait to go back! I also LOVE the pictures and videos. Makes me feel at ease when she’s away from me.”
“She did an amazing job with Aloo! He wanted to go back into her house when I picked him up. He made friends with her dog and she ensured that he was safe, happy and comfortable. Thank you so much”

“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.”
“Lia did an incredible job taking care of my 2 cats. She was great at communicating and providing updates/pictures on how my cats were doing. I felt comfortable leaving them in her care during my short vacation.”
“Dani took excellent care of my cat Brenna for a week during the holidays. Her updates were always thorough with many pictures and it's clear she took such good care of my fur baby. Highly recommend her.”

“Gagan was very accommodating of our last minute request and provided estate for our cat keeping him in a separate room to make him feel comfortable. He kept us informed via updates and photos and took good care of him. Highly recommended”
“Angélica was an absolutely incredible cat sitter for my cat, Cheech, during my 10-day trip. From day one, her communication was outstanding—she sent regular updates with photos and videos that gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear Cheech was not only well cared for, but genuinely happy and comfortable in her presence. What really blew me away was her thoughtfulness. On her final day, she left printed photos of Cheech along with sweet gifts and handwritten notes—such a personal and kind gesture that meant a lot to me. I trusted Angélica completely in my home, and she treated both Cheech and my space with the utmost respect and care. If you're looking for someone dependable, caring, and genuinely great with animals, I can't recommend Angélica enough. She’s a true gem!”
“Denise was great for a drop-in visit for our two kitties while we were out of town. She had great communication and took great care of our girls. We would definitely use her again!”

“Cindy was such a great sitter. Winnie was super excited to meet her and seemed immediately comfortable. They had a day running around town and resting at the house. I’d definitely ask Cindy to watch Winnie again!”
“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.”
“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!”
“My first time booking with Angela and Josh, they seem experienced and have a great backyard setup with plenty of space, sun, shade, good fencing. Flexible for drop off and pickups. I can see they are very attentive to their canine guests.”
“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!”
“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!”

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.

“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.”

“We’re so happy we found Pamela! From our very first interaction, we had such a good feeling about her. Rex is a sensitive boy with separation anxiety, so we’re always a little nervous leaving him with someone new. But throughout his stay, we felt like he was in really good hands. Pamela sent us photo updates, which we absolutely loved, and it was so reassuring to see Rex having a good time. She was also incredibly flexible and accommodating, which we really appreciated. When we picked Rex up, he was calm, happy, and not stressed at all. We’ve already booked several more stays with Pamela and are so glad we found someone we feel comfortable leaving Rex with. Highly recommend!! You’ll love her… but please don’t steal all of Rex’s future bookings! Haha 😂”

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.

About: Hi! I'm Eva, and I enjoy caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. What sets me apart is my personalized approach—I take the time to understand each dog’s unique personality, routine, and specific needs to provide the best care possible. I respect and prioritize my clients' expectations, ensuring your dog's comfort and happiness are always my top priorities. I’m also very active, so whether your dog needs leisurely walks, multiple outings a day, or even runs to burn off energy, I’m happy to accommodate! Additionally, I have some flexibility in my work schedule, allowing me to adapt to your dog's routine and provide the care they need when they need it. My goal is to deliver attentive, loving care tailored to your dog's individual needs. Caring for your pet is an essential part of my routine, and I make it a priority to ensure each pet gets the care they need. I have the flexibility in my work to take on pets with varying needs, whether they are more independent or require extra attention and care in their routine. On a daily basis, I dedicate time for walks, feeding, and play, following any special instructions provided by pet parents. Weekly, I also set aside time for grooming or extra exercise as needed. Whatever the schedule is, I’m happy to accommodate and make it work to ensure your pet receives the best care possible! Your pet's safety and care is my number one priority. I pay close attention to them whether it's during walks or playtime or feeding time. I also take routine and instructions to the "T" - meaning if you are deliberate in your instructions on how to care for them, I will follow them accordingly. **I will send you photos/videos of your pet regularly!
“I wish I could rate more than 5 stars!! She was responsive, flexible, and Churro had so much fun! I will regularly be using Katsiaryna— she took great care and left me no stress while I was traveling for work!”
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.

“Cindy was amazing with our pups. She was very knowledgeable, offered training feedback, and followed our feedback about their needs and personalities. Love that she took the time to engage with them and tired them out. Will definitely book with her again.”
“Natalia is the best with my puppies. She sent pics everyday and spoiled them so much. I extended the stay of my pups and she did above and beyond to accommodate my request. We were so lucky to find her and my pups love her.”
“Olivia and Drew are awesome!! they are very responsive and send regular updates. a plus too is that they have a fenced yard and have a senior dog of their own. I would not hesitate to book their services again next time!”
About: I’ve lived with dogs my whole life caring for many different breeds and personalities. Most recently I had a Rhodesian Ridgeback but have also had Labradors and Cavalier King Charles Spaniels in the past. I work from home and am only gone for a 1-3 hours during the day. My wife works from home and will be with the dog to keep them company. I have 2 kids aged 2 and 4 who are home after 5:30pm and all day on the weekend I have a fenced in yard with grass and plenty of room for the dog to roam. Dogs are allowed on our couch and bed as well.
“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!”
“Ari is amazing! He stayed with our doggie for 5 nights and 6 days. Ari sent photos and videos which we greatly appreciated. Our dog can get rashy if she's on grass for too long. She was happy, loved, and rash free when we picked her up. Thank you so much again Ari! We appreciate you! Our doggy will definitely be back :)”
“I’m very attached to my dog so I’m always nervous having her stay with other people. We just moved to the area and I am so glad I found Angela and Josh! I can tell they really care about all the dogs since the first interaction with them. They are very professional and detail oriented in my dog’s care. Hazel told me she had so much fun at their house and can’t wait to go back! I also LOVE the pictures and videos. Makes me feel at ease when she’s away from me.”
“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 highly appreciate the help from Siu Kei for taking our Drei for 4 days during family trip, and recommend his professional service. Siu Kei always gave us timely update about the status of Drei, and do his best to ensure Drei can get along with other dogs. We definitely will come back for asking his help again in the future.”
“Jocelyn was amazing! We got lots of updates and photos of our pup during her stay with her! 🥰 She was also accommodating to our pups needs and comforted her as she was afraid of the fireworks on the 4th. Definitely recommend to book with her she was great!”
“Michael and his wife Cindy are very nice and I can trust them for my dog. They both greeted after the booking and they work as a great team for the clear and easy communication. I had to modify my booking due to the schedule change and they were so nice to adjust it for me. I will definitely ask them again to watch my dog when needed. Highly recommend them.”
“Sarentuya was wonderful with my dog! She can be pouty and refused to go on walks, but she was so patient and gave her lots of love and attention instead. I really appreciated the photo updates and knowing she was comfortable and cared for. Highly recommend and would definitely book again!”
“Astrid took wonderful care of our senior pup. She was very responsive, sent lots of photos and he came home happy and not stressed. I'd recommend her to anyone looking for an experience sitter and those with senior dogs.”

“Amazing stay with Robert. He made sure that all my dogs were properly taken care of, especially since one of my dogs had an eye problem. He let them sleep in the living room, which was really nice of him to keep them nice and warm. His roommates were also super nice to us and our dogs, which was a plus. Very responsible individual. Highly recommended.=) Thanks Robert.”
