“Gabi was well cared for and loved. She spent a lot of play time in the backyard. I love that Gabi got lots and lots of attention given Kushram being retired. My only gripe would be that I would have liked more updates, but that's only because it was the first time I left my pup with someone else. However, when I would reach out Kushram would get back to me within the hour... I will book with them again.”
“My 13 year old cocker spaniel has a list of issues a mile long with anxiety needing particularly extra care recently. Jeanette and Abraham were as concerned as I was and we worked so cooperatively to care for Berri. We have loved our stays with this boarding family now over a number of years and recommend them with gratitude.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities for 15 years. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, play with, and care for their pets while away. I’m patient, attentive, active, and genuinely love animals. I understand the importance of making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I love taking dogs on hikes and to the beach as well. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pets. I’m available for dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week and on weekends. I enjoy staying active, spending time outdoors, and making sure pets get the care, attention, exercise, and companionship they need to feel happy and comfortable. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I provide a calm, loving, and attentive environment and always follow the owner’s instructions carefully regarding feeding, routines, medications, walks, and special care needs. I pay close attention to pets’ behavior and body language to ensure they feel safe, secure, and well cared for at all times.
“Lucia did such an amazing job taking care of Honey! There’s not very many people that can love on your pup as much as you do. But throughout Honey’s stay I got multiple photos and videos daily showing all the love and fun she was having. She has two dogs herself, and they all got along well. I am absolutely taking Honey back when I need dog sitting again!! Thank you Lucia!!!”
“Deborah was terrific! She is gentle, calm, and clearly knows how to take care of cats. She was highly communicative, timely, etc. It was so reassuring to have my 2 cats in her care.”
“Thank you very much Julie and Adam for Mollie's wonderful "Spring Break." We knew she's in good hands as we dropped her off. We really appreciate your daily updates with pictures of Mollie. You are the best!”
“Our Shepherd/Husky loved staying with Allora and her family. He loved being able to play with their dog Boba, chasing each other around in their large outdoor backyard. Allora was very attentive and sent pictures every day, keeping us up to date with all the activities they were up to, which included walks every day, and being involved in family activities. I will definitely choose to leave him with Allora in the future too.”
“Banksy had an amazing time at Luna's and loved playing with Jim. I felt extremely comfortable leaving Banksy with Luna, based on the questions she asked about Banksy, her attention to detail about his needs and safety, and just her kind warm personality! I loved the pictures each day. I wholeheartedly recommend Luna and will definitely be having her watch Banksy again!”
“My best dog sitting experience to date (and I'm lucky to have had some great ones). I had to leave my dog for nine days - the longest I've ever left him. I was a little concerned about him being with several other dogs and positive he would terrorize the cat. Instead, he spent the entire time running all over the big yard with his new friends (read: getting all of the exercise he desperately needs that I can never adequately provide) and becoming best friends with the cat. This was not a coincidence. I am positive it was because of the amazing environment provided by Asatur both physically and in the way the animals were cared for. He clearly loves animals and has gone to great lengths to create a wonderful environment for them. I loved the updates and photos I got and was amazed at how much exercise my dog got (which I could see by the miles logged on his tracker). Asatur was kind, responsive, responsible and all around great. Not only would I recommend and use again and recommend in a heartbeat, I genuinely look forward to my dog's next adventure there.”
“Cat did a great job taking care of Remy and updating us while we were on our trip. She gave him the attention and care he needed. The meet and greet before we dropped him off was extremely helpful and let us have peace of mind that Remy would be in good hands. We will definitely be booking with Cat again in the future!”
“Suzy was wonderful making Moxie feel comfortable in her home. She went for frequent walks and followed Suzy’s chihuahua around and made herself at home. She relates well to animals. We felt very good about leaving Moxie with her and will definitely use her again when visiting the area.”
About: I am a loving and friendly dog sitter! I grew up with two dogs, a poodle and a Chihuahua. My family currently has a bull terrier that I love very much. I also take care of my best friend's dog when she is out of town. I love dogs and going on walks so this combination is perfect for me. I am currently a nanny to one of nephews as needed but I am free every day during the summer to take care of your furry babies. I make sure I read their cues of needing water/food, when they need to pee/poop, when they're overstimulated, stressed, or happy. I also make sure to pet them and show them love by scratching them, patting them, and rubbing them. I also follow any schedule that is given to me to make sure they stick to their normal routine.
“Yesica was phenomenal with our 3 year old Bernedoodle. She was attentive, responsible, caring and overall gave so much love to our little pup. When I dropped off our dog, she instantly felt connected to Yesica and comfortable in her home. Yesica also did a great job keeping us posted on how our pup was doing. With texts and photos, we never had a doubt that our dog was well cared for. I will definitely be booking with Yesica again!”
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was young. My background includes training puppies and providing special care for senior dogs. Neighbors, friends, and family trust me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets, ensuring they receive the best care possible. As an online learning student, I spend most of my time at home or going on hikes, so I have plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I'm available for boarding any day after 2 PM. My flexible schedule allows me to provide consistent and attentive care, ensuring your pets are always well-looked after. Plus, I love incorporating pets into my outdoor activities, giving them plenty of exercise and fresh air. I offer pet care both in my home and at my clients' homes. At my place, I have a big fenced backyard where pets can run and play safely. Plus, I have a friendly 1-year-old dog who loves to socialize, which can be great for your pet's companionship and playtime. Whether at my home or yours, I ensure pets are well-fed, exercised, and given lots of attention and love.
“This whole process of pet sitting was unfamiliar and a whole new experience for us but Nadine welcomed us into her home like family which made it all easy. Romeo felt so comfortable during our arrival that as she opened the door he let himself right in and didn't look back. Romeo stayed for 5 nights and Nadine kept us updated regularly communicating by messages and sending us memorable photos of him and her pups while on our vacation. Romeo looked so comfortable and happy to be part of the group. We felt our dog was being well taken care of as Romeo was her own. Her family and pups did a great job keeping him comfortable and happy which put us at ease while we were thousands of miles away from home. I highly recommend Nadine and will be going back to her in the future! Thank you so much!!”
“Donna has been such a gem. She is very flexible. My Coco has special needs with medication and particular eating habits. Donna took great care of Coco while I was gone. It gave me such piece of mind. We are lucky to have found such a compassionate sitter.”

“Jenna is a cat whisperer! She was able to pet my senior citizen cat, who usually only allows me and my daughter to touch her. She has a very calming presence and my cats love her.”
“I have a “scaredy cat” who doesn’t usually warm up to anyone outside our household, but she apparently liked Deborah enough so the friendship is even immortalized on the photos. In addition, Deborah is very conscientious and respectful. She remembered all the instructions and the house quirks, so we actually stopped worrying after a few of her visits. We hope to have Deborah’s help with our spoiled princess again in the future.”

About: I grew up in a large family of animal lovers, we've always had more pets than grandchildren! I've taken care of my own and other family and friend's pets, walking, bathing, and house sitting puppies to senior dogs. My main jobs require me to travel to my clients, so I'm consistently driving through East Bay. Pretty convenient for caring for your darlings ! I’d love to start and end my work days with them. I care for every pet as family and stick to any routines and preferences we discuss. I’ll always make sure pets are fed and walked regularly and tire them out with play and activities before they end their day. I can also give medications if needed. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I want your pets to feel comfortable by keeping to their normal routine. I also like to clean and tidy up anything I use during stays, and send regular photo and message updates so owners feel reassured while they’re away. My goal is to make pets feel happy, safe, and well cared for while keeping their owners informed and confident in the care their pet is receiving.
“Maikala is a thoughtful and able professional. She followed instructions exactly and Bella was calm and relaxed when I got home. I will definitely ask Maikala to take care of Bella again.”
About: I used to befriend and care for all of the cats and kittens in the neighborhood from childhood. Had my own cat that lived past the age of 14 and I now spend my days with my Mother's giant tabby cat that I bought for her birthday 10 years ago. :)
“Patricia was great with my two cats! Even though it was her first visit, both of my indoor kitties came out and greeted her. My senior cat, Juliet, who only likes me and my daughter, actually came out to say hi to Patricia! She truly is a cat person and will take good care of your fur babies. I’m sure I will be booking her again!”
“Amber took care of our cat and plants while we were away. Totoro was well-fed, the litter box was clean, and everything was in order when we returned. We appreciated their reliability and knowing our cat was in good hands. Thank you for your help!”
“Irina did an amazing job, giving us that peace of mind while we were away. It was so easy to communicate with her and she was extremely responsive and took great pictures of our kitties. They usually are very depressed and anxious when we return but not this time! She provided great care and compassion and even went above and beyond! I would recommend!”
“This time, Michael and Moz had a surprise for me when I returned from France. Michael had taught Moz how to speak Chat Francais- Miaou Miaou. I had non idea what he was saying, but it sounded so nice!”

“Kushram and Family are a wonderful find for dog sitting or doggy day care. Give the initial booking request a bit of lead time, as the confirmation that the day/time works may take up to a day to come through. This time I put in a request 9:30pm on a Saturday, and got confirmation Sunday evening. (I suspect requests are processed daily). The initial booking request was the largest gap we experienced in communication, scheduling the meet and greet by messages was easy - they were very responsive and want to ensure you and your pup will be comfortable with their set up and go over any special needs of the dog. Our elder pup Rick was drawn to Kushram and the whole family even on the meet and greet (I think just his wife and adult nephew), as well the drop off day of, and they were able to make him comfortable enough to eat even on a short visit. Given our short booking (only about 3 hrs) we can't really comment on long term pictures/communication during the visit, but I can say I feel pretty happy that I found some place local where I feel comfortable leaving my dog when I need to go somewhere. They also have some experience with some dog special needs, but can help best when they know about it ahead of time. They were not concerned or put off in the slightest by our pups needs (mostly that he's pretty clingy, can get cold easily, and only has 3 teeth and will only eat small pieces of food, and doesn't love hanging out with other dogs), and described other dogs they had watched with similar or more challenging needs such as dog-sitting a blind dog in a new space. Thank you for taking good care of our pup!”
“I am grateful to Jeanette, Abraham and family for taking very good care of my dog while I went to work. 5 stars for standing behind their mission of “family while away”… yes, they are! I received photos and were responsive from beginning to end of our 2-day daycare booking. All around trustworthy people; what a gem! My dog is very picky and she warmed up within a day with Jeanette and Abraham. Thank you very much and we will definitely be back.”
“Asatur is professional and caring. His place is perfectly set up for doggy daycare., with plenty of room for our pup to run around, to play and get a lot of rough housing out of her system. She came home happy and tired.”
About: I live in Hercules (East Bay) and only do IN HOME CARE for dogs and sometimes cats.

“Nadine is a fantastic dog sitter. My little one lets me know if she wants to return to a sitter or not, and she definitely enjoys her time with Nadine! Nadine provides a lot of toys, and her own dogs play with mine, so my little one comes back home fully satisfied and ready to rest. No question we’ll be calling Nadine for more dog sitting days in the near future.”

I absolutely love dogs and all animals; I treat them with the same respect I would another person. I specialize in reward based training (positive reinforcement), dog body language, and behavior. Dog training should be fun for you and the dog. Positive reinforcement is the best way to train because it helps build better bonds between the pet parent and the dog, as well as teach important behaviors and discourage and substitute unwanted behaviors. In my care, your dog(s) will be treated as a part of the family. My main goal is to keep your pup(s) happy, calm, exercised; this should feel like their home away from home. I currently am working home full time for the business, from dog training to grooming to walking to daycare & boarding, we are here for you! There will always be someone here to keep an eye on your pup(s), when I leave my partner is here to help out. We are open everyday. The pups are always treated like my own. When staying over, they keep company with me and my dogs. We are always watching the dogs and making sure they are safe and comfortable. If I am going to your place I will always treat your place with respect.

They are dependable, trustworthy, and go above and beyond to make sure my dog gets plenty of exercise I will be back in the future”
About: My name is Mandisa, I am a caring and compassionate Bay Area kinfolk. My dog recently transitioned after 14 years of lovely Boxer dog life.

I am available to board, drop in, walk dogs, take pups to the vet, or house sit depending on the needs of the client. I am very interested in helping urban farmers like myself. Thank you for taking a moment to view my profile. I hope I am able to meet you and your pet(s)! Diversity Statement: May all beings be free from suffering and injustice. I will always work hard to be inclusive, mindful, and aware of the needs of those families I encounter and their pets. I myself identify as and am happy to welcome QTBIPOC families and all others.

I am looking forward to providing great care for your beloved pet. I always have lengthy conversations with pet owners including a site visit with the pet and parents. This helps to ensure that everyone is comfortable and the client/pet can see that my yard is fenced in the back and my home is ready for day visits.

About: I grew up with dogs in my household and developed an early love for all animals. My father is an animal behaviorist, and I have picked up certain knowledge from him over the years related to dog and cat psychology. For the past 8 years, I have had experience pet sitting for my parents and family friends while they were on vacation. Now, I am ready to take this experience and serve my local community! My full time job is quite flexible and I am able to work remotely whenever I choose, with reasonable notice. That said, I can put myself in a position where I have no other commitments other than to give your pet the quality care that it deserves. I understand that like humans, each pet has an individualized set of needs. I will take the time to understand your pet's schedule and routine before I start. Furthermore, your pet will miss you while you are away! I will do my best to fill in this gap and provide as much love and support as needed. I will treat your house with the same respect and care as my own home and am committed to giving your furry family member(s) the best care possible.

About: I have loved all manner of critters ever since I was little! I would jump on every opportunity to be around animals, from cleaning friends' fish tanks while they were away to taking care of horses and mucking stalls in exchange for riding lessons. We've had our lovely pup Bosco for 12 years (since he was a couple months old). Steve the cat, came to us at just 3 weeks old about 5 years ago, and we took in the newest addition to our family, Kora the cat, a year and a half ago. I currently work from home so I'll be able to spend all day hanging out with and taking care of your pals. My work is very flexible so it goes where I go and scheduling is rarely a challenge no matter the hour! It is very important to me that your best pal has a great time while in my care so if your pet is on a specific schedule don't be afraid to get detailed! I’ve also cared for many animals over the years with medical needs, so I’ve become quite adept at creative pill camouflaging, breathing mask application, and the administration of various kinds of droplets (among other things).

“My 13 year old cocker spaniel has a list of issues a mile long with anxiety needing particularly extra care recently. Jeanette and Abraham were as concerned as I was and we worked so cooperatively to care for Berri. We have loved our stays with this boarding family now over a number of years and recommend them with gratitude.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities for 15 years. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, play with, and care for their pets while away.

I’m available for dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week and on weekends.

I provide a calm, loving, and attentive environment and always follow the owner’s instructions carefully regarding feeding, routines, medications, walks, and special care needs.

“Thank you very much Julie and Adam for Mollie's wonderful "Spring Break." We knew she's in good hands as we dropped her off. We really appreciate your daily updates with pictures of Mollie. You are the best!”
“Our Shepherd/Husky loved staying with Allora and her family. He loved being able to play with their dog Boba, chasing each other around in their large outdoor backyard. Allora was very attentive and sent pictures every day, keeping us up to date with all the activities they were up to, which included walks every day, and being involved in family activities. I will definitely choose to leave him with Allora in the future too.”
“My best dog sitting experience to date (and I'm lucky to have had some great ones). I had to leave my dog for nine days - the longest I've ever left him. I was a little concerned about him being with several other dogs and positive he would terrorize the cat. Instead, he spent the entire time running all over the big yard with his new friends (read: getting all of the exercise he desperately needs that I can never adequately provide) and becoming best friends with the cat. This was not a coincidence. I am positive it was because of the amazing environment provided by Asatur both physically and in the way the animals were cared for. He clearly loves animals and has gone to great lengths to create a wonderful environment for them. I loved the updates and photos I got and was amazed at how much exercise my dog got (which I could see by the miles logged on his tracker). Asatur was kind, responsive, responsible and all around great. Not only would I recommend and use again and recommend in a heartbeat, I genuinely look forward to my dog's next adventure there.”
“Cat did a great job taking care of Remy and updating us while we were on our trip. She gave him the attention and care he needed. The meet and greet before we dropped him off was extremely helpful and let us have peace of mind that Remy would be in good hands. We will definitely be booking with Cat again in the future!”
“We are so grateful for Kaja to care for our pup on such short notice. Kaja was very trustworthy and sent us a lot of photos and nice texts to keep us informed of how everything was going. We look forward to asking Kaja to care for Lucky again!”
About: I’ve owned dogs all my life and a huge dog lover, I understand how hard it can be to leave your little bestfriend even for a couple hours! Im used to very active big dog who need lots of exercise and play time, but of course I love the little pups as well! I love to be a pet sitter that teaches your pup new tricks & overall spend time with them. If you are looking for a pet sitter who will integrate your doggies life with my life im your girl! Dogs are a part of the family and should be treated that way :) I work from home and currently just hoping to have some friends visit that I can play with and take on drives to dog parks or trails! I love to incorporate your puppy’s life with my mine! making outside hikes and dog park time a daily routine- I have a dog park included at my apartment complex! also lots of nearby trails :)
“Ross was phenomenal! He sent me pictures and updates every few hours over the several days that my dog was with him. I could see how happy my dog was with Ross, and they had lots of fun time together. I am definitely going with Ross in the future for my dog boarding needs!”
“Christiano is a true dog lover. He took such great care of Angus, with premium treats, long walks, and of course lots of love. Very communicative and sent lots of pics so we could be sure he was happy while we were vacationing. Will rebook!”
“Stefanie was so great with our boy. From the start she was super communicative and attentive to his needs. We got daily updates and she was flexible when we had some last minute change of plans. Overall I felt at ease knowing our boy was in good hands.”
“Louis watched our dog for multiple days over Thanksgiving week, and was absolutely amazing. He gave super prompt communication and is very knowledgeable. We felt at ease during our trip knowing our dog was in good hands. Highly recommend Louis if you are in need of a great dog sitter!”
“Had an absolutely amazing experience having Amanda and Michell watch our Lucy. We’d never left a pet with strangers before, and they couldn’t have made the process more comfortable. Amanda sent daily photos and a brief note on what they did that day. Lucy got to go on many long walks and hikes, and really became part of their family. At the end of her stay, we received a report card on Lucy’s behavior, which was the cutest thing ever. Without hesitation, I’d use Amanda and Michell again, and highly recommend them to anyone needing a pet sitter.”
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life, and caring for them comes naturally to me. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, so I always give them attention, affection, and a calm environment. My goal is to make your pet feel happy and relaxed, just like at home. I had a beloved dog for 11 years who lived with epilepsy, so I have extensive experience caring for a dog with special medical needs. I would be truly happy to provide loving and attentive care for other dogs as well. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I am available every day of the week. I plan my schedule around the pets I care for, making sure they receive consistent attention, walks, feeding, and companionship. I’m flexible and can adjust to your pet’s specific routine and needs. I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for whether they stay in my home or I care for them in theirs. At my home, pets have access to a large backyard for supervised play and exercise, along with all the essentials needed for a comfortable stay.
“Kasandra was great! We had an emergency trip that we have to go to and could not bring our little monster with us. Luckily, Kasandra was available. She was very responsive and enthusiastic about taking care of Willa (our little monster.) I’m so used to picking up Willa from sitters expecting she’ll be dirty, her fur attracts anything and everything, that usually I’ll end up giving her a bath. But this time was different. We are so surprised how clean she was considering all the walks and dog park trips she did. I would definitely bring Willa back to Kasandra for any of our dog sitting needs. Highly recommend!!”
About: I’ve had dogs for most of my life. I grew up with 4 bigs dogs. Recently I’ve been doing walks on apps, I’ve done over 70+ services ranging from taking care of old pets to very young ones. People always set me as their preferred walker since they love that I listen to their rules and go on long walks with their dogs. For a 60 minute walk I average about 2-3 miles, depending on the dog. I’m currently a student at San Jose State University and I look forward to doing some walks or other services on the weekends when I’m back home, also I can do walks or sittings on the weekdays when I off school. I have a fenced yard, the dogs and cats are allowed in the house and my room. I will make sure to always keep a lookout and have them be where I am at.
“Lanette and David took such good care of our 6-year old Labrador retriever, Betsy. You can tell they really love animals and it was such a relief to know our dog was in such a caring home. They were able to follow all of our instructions regarding her care, food allergies, and medications and gave her lots of individual attention like she gets at home. We are so thankful we’ve found them!”
