“Adrienne and Edgar are awesome!! They were super responsive during our initial communications and sent plenty of photos of our Lula to reassure us that she was fitting in well in their home. Highly recommend booking with them!”
“They were great; attentive, flexible, and kind They made sure to send daily updates that included lots of pictures and videos. We are happy we found them to watch our standard poodle.”
“Harper took absolutely the best care of our dog, Milo. She kept us updated about Milo's daily schedule and activities, making sure that he is getting enough exercises throughout the day, and treated him like her own pet during the 4-day boarding. I would recommend Harper to anyone who is looking for a loving sitter who can take great care of their fur baby!”
“We have worked with Lea multiple times, and I cannot say enough good things about her! She is patient and Abby (our dog) loves her. Lea is incredibly attentive to your dog and treats them like they’re family. We can not thank her enough!!”
“Robin and Dan are very warm, caring and obvious dog lovers. They took Nora in with open arms and were very accommodating when it comes to her quirks. They sent many updates, photos and videos. I could tell Nora felt instantly at home with them and knew she would be well taken care of. Robin and I had thorough conversations before her stay on Nora’s specific needs and traits which mad me feel at ease. Nora was very happy and content when we picked her up and didn’t seem to want to leave! We would love for Robin and Dan to take care of Nora in the future”
“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.”
“Olivia was amazing! We received updates and photos daily during Milano’s stay. Her home had a great setup with plenty of outdoor space in the yard for the dogs. She is very experienced with working with dogs. We would love to rebook with her next time!”
“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!”
“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!”
“Gianina & her family were so great to my pup. we recently moved and I was really nervous leaving him while I left town. They sent photos daily which eased my discomfort but also helped me see how well Sutton settled in to their home and it brought me a lot of ease to see how comfortable he was so quickly. I will definitely book with her again in the future.”
“Sunday has been through a lot of difficult changes recently—a move, the loss of her doggy best friend and just normal growing up. Sunday is a sweet girl but can be high energy, anxious and a little mischievous. Megan and Jenny handled Sunday like absolute pros. Sunday was entertained with walks and lots of play time in their sweet house/yard. Jenny + Megan are responsible, reliant, and absolutely in love with their dog friends, not to mention flexible and easy-going—they treated Sunday like their own and I feel so thankful to have found such loving people to look after my girl. From the very first interaction they have been so responsive and accommodating! I hope to rebook them again soon, just so Sunday can get her fix!”
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.
“Izzy came highly recommended by several friends who regularly trust him with their pups, and now I completely understand why. This was my dog Arthur’s first time staying with anyone aside from family, so I was a bit nervous at first. Izzy quickly put me at ease by letting me know Arthur was settling in nicely and getting along well with the whole family. The photos and videos Izzy sent showed just how happy and comfortable Arthur was, and the regular, detailed updates made it easy to relax knowing he was in such good hands. Thank you for making Arthur’s first experience with a sitter such a positive one!”

I'm well versed on basic cat care and willing to learn for special needs like meds and dietary restrictions. I have a hobby photography background, so expect photo updates of your fur babies!

About: I’ve had cats for about 7 years and have always loved caring for them. I’ve also rescued several kittens and helped find them good homes. One of the reasons I’m majoring in Veterinary Assisting is because I’ve seen how cats are often overlooked, and I want to help give them the care they deserve. I’ll treat your cat like my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away
About: I have 5 years of experience caring for dogs and cats in the animal shelter environment. I am truly passionate about my love for all pets and can’t wait to meet yours!

“We were very nervous leaving our kitty with a sitter for the first time, and Kimberly was so kind to meet us before we left to meet and get acquainted with Neko. She was so reassuring and very clearly loves animals and cares for them. I will definitely be using her services any time we leave town.”
“Supriya took amazing care of my senior cat. My cat is very shy and does not let anyone pet her. However, she took a liking to Supriya right away and was happy to get head scratches & pets, and even purred! Supriya really has a wonderful way with cats. I appreciate the patient, kind and gentle way she cared for my cat. Cannot recommend her enough.”
“Denisse did an awesome job with my kitties while I was away. She kept them fed, and she even kept their bowls clean for me. Denisse provided great feedback and great photos of the kitties. Sounds like she even went out of her way to make sure my nervous kitty got some gentle love and attention. A+”
“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.”

About: Hi! I'm Harper and I've always been in love with animals, especially dogs, since I was young. I enjoy making connections and friendships with them, and they make me so happy. I am a dog mommy of a sweet Shiba Inu, and he is my cute BFF. When your furry baby is with me, I will treat him or her like my own, making sure that he or she is feeling as happy and comfortable as possible. I am pretty good at adapting to all of the unique dog personalities, and I'm very patient and gentle towards them. I will play games, take him/her on nature walks, and snuggle him/her. We have a huge dog park within 5 minutes of walking distance so they will sure to have a lot of play-dates! :) Your dog's well-being and safety are my priority. I ask that you bring any toys, water & food bowl, leash and/or harness, and food and treats (if you wish). I currently live in a house with backyard in Hayward. Let me know if you have any requests, and I will easily accommodate to your needs. Feel free to contact me with any questions, and I hope to see you and your lovely dog soon ♡ I'm currently work from home, which means your dog will always have human companionship throughout the day.

“Harper - thank you so much for hosting Alonzo these last two days! I know when he was so excited to see you on the second day that you took such good care of him and he had a great time! I really appreciate you looking after him so well and all of the pictures and videos you sent me throughout the day. We will for sure come back to you any time we’re in San Jose and I’ll recommend you to anyone here! Thanks again!!! Mikah and Alonzo”
“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.”
“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!”
“Cindy was so communicative and responsive! Kobe loved going to daycare with her and it was a relief to leave him in good hands on such a short notice. He comes back home tired and happy.”
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.
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.
About: Dogs have been part of my life for almost as long as I can remember. I grew up with dogs, and my parents bred and showed Dobermans, so I was surrounded from an early age by thoughtful, consistent dog care and training. With only a few gaps during college and early adulthood, I've had a dog by my side throughout my entire life. I'm currently a dog owner myself, and my dog is very much part of my everyday life. That's also how I approach boarding. Rather than caring for a large group of dogs, I prefer to host one guest at a time so they can settle into our household and receive plenty of individual attention, companionship, walks, play, and affection. I'm home much of the day, so a visiting dog isn't routinely left alone for long stretches. I believe dogs respond best to patience, consistency, clear boundaries, positive interaction, and lots of affection. I also know every dog has its own personality, habits, and comfort level, so I want to learn what makes your dog feel safe and at home. My goal is simple: while you're away, your dog gets to live as a beloved member of the household rather than feeling like they're being sent away to boarding. I work primarily from home, and my own dog is already my near-constant companion, so caring for another dog fits very naturally into my daily life. When I board a dog, my intention is for them to join our household and our routine rather than spend long stretches of the day alone. That means plenty of companionship, regular walks and outdoor time, play, relaxation, and, when it's appropriate for the individual dog, coming along with us on dog-friendly outings. I take my own dog with me frequently and am happy to do the same with a guest who enjoys it. Most importantly, I adjust the routine to the dog. Some dogs love being out and about; others are happiest relaxing somewhere familiar and quiet. During their stay, I pay attention to what makes them comfortable and adapt accordingly. I want each dog in my care to feel safe, included, and genuinely at home while their family is away. Safety starts with making sure a dog is a good fit for our home. Before a first stay, I prefer to meet with you and your dog and introduce them to my dog so we can make sure everyone is comfortable together. I strive to understand your dog's normal routine, personality, feeding and walking schedule, house rules, medications or special needs, and anything that makes them anxious, excited, or especially happy. I follow your instructions and try to keep familiar routines consistent while adapting to what I observe during the stay. I host only one guest dog at a time, which allows me to give them plenty of individual attention and closely monitor how they're settling in. I use leashes and secure handling outdoors, keep food and other potential sources of conflict managed carefully, and never assume that two dogs who get along well don't still need thoughtful supervision. Most importantly, I pay attention. Dogs communicate constantly through their behavior, and I want to notice when a guest is relaxed, uncomfortable, tired, excited, or needs something different. My goal is to provide a safe, calm home where your dog can become part of the family while they're in my care.
“The boys completed their first daycare visit; all went well and they seemed to have enjoyed themselves. Also, appreciated the good communication between Owner and Sitter. We'll be back for another visit soon :)”

“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.”
About: I’ve cared for many different kinds of pets since high school. Just in the last two years I’ve learned a lot about dog behavior as my husband and I have adopted two pups of our own. They are both around 2. I love to play and teach them as we are all growing together as a family. I had a dog in high school as well and walked her everyday. I also helped care for our kitties, as we had a few growing up. We also have three kitties now whom we love and play with everyday. Pets are like kids, they all have their own personalities and it’s fun to learn who they are just like people. I’m currently working an odd schedule and it’s been quite slow. Would be nice to make a little extra cash while helping someone else exercise their pup, or take care of them. I like to let pets get to know me and some need more time than others. Depending on the pet they may come to greet me or hide. It’s best to let the pet approach me first when they are ready. I like to use treats for commands, rewards, and/or bribes. Pets love to play and I am good at that! Outside is a little more dangerous as you never know what another person’s dog is like. I usually avoid strange dogs and anything that I see could be harmful. I like a close leash to make sure pets don’t eat strange things on the ground and I can watch them closely to look out for something before they get to it. Pets are quick and you have to see it before they do!
“was wonderful with my dog! He can be shy and anxious, but she was patient and caring, and he warmed up quickly. I got regular updates and came home to a happy, well-cared-for pup. Highly recommend!”

“Duke came home tired and that tells me he had nothing but a good time! He was with 5 other friends and though unfortunately Duke was barking alot, Siu was patient and kind to him. He sent me photos and updates and even helped us give him his antibiotics. Overall, very pleasant experience, highly recommended! This was also a last minute request and accommodated us without any issues”
“I recently became the proud "father" to an adorable mini schnauzer and needed someone to look after the puppy while at work. Step in Kate. Not only was Kate great with communicating, she was also very punctual and flexible in regards to meeting point, etc. I could also tell that she took great care of my dog during the day as Maxie is always excited to see her. I would highly recommend Kate to anyone needing a helping hand with their pooch, and I plan on asking for her help down the road when needed.”
About: With over 16 years of experience in veterinary medicine and a lifetime of loving and caring for animals, I bring professional knowledge and genuine compassion to every pet I care for. My background includes veterinary assisting, client education, hospital management, and working alongside veterinarians to provide exceptional patient care. I have experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, breeds, and temperaments, including puppies, kittens, seniors, and pets with medical conditions or special needs. I am comfortable administering oral medications, monitoring behavior for signs of illness, following detailed care instructions, and maintaining daily routines. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, and I take the time to build trust, provide enrichment, and ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. My goal is to give pet parents complete peace of mind knowing their furry family member is receiving experienced, attentive, and compassionate care. Pet care has always been a natural part of my life, both personally and professionally. I intentionally schedule my time so I can provide reliable, unhurried care and give each pet the individual attention they deserve. Whether your pet needs a quick potty break, an extended walk, overnight companionship, medication administration, or simply someone to spend quality time with them, I am committed to maintaining their normal routine. I understand that consistency helps pets feel secure, and I pride myself on being dependable, punctual, and flexible whenever possible to meet the needs of both pets and their families. Your pet’s health, safety, and happiness are always my highest priorities. My veterinary background allows me to recognize subtle changes in behavior, appetite, mobility, or overall health that others may overlook. I carefully follow all feeding instructions, medication schedules, exercise requirements, and household routines exactly as requested. When caring for pets in your home, I treat your home with the same respect I would my own while creating a calm, low-stress environment for your pet. I use secure leashes and harnesses during walks, supervise outdoor time, monitor interactions with other animals, and provide plenty of affection, playtime, and enrichment. I also believe communication is key, so you’ll receive regular updates and photos, allowing you to relax knowing your beloved companion is in experienced, caring hands.

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.

I’ll treat your cat like my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Since it’s summer, my schedule is very flexible.

About: I have dogsat for different family members and even my significant other’s on multiple occasions since I was 11. I’m very observant when it comes to body language and behavior.

About: Hi! My name is Jenniffer, I’m a responsible, patient and caring dog person. I have been taking care of my dog Canelo, a Pit Bull mix, for almost four years. Raising him since he was a puppy has teach me a lot , because of him I started to know more about dogs. I understand that they need a lot of care, attention and love. Even though I’m new to taking care of pets from other people I’m not new on knowing what are their needs and how to take care of them.

I follow your instructions and try to keep familiar routines consistent while adapting to what I observe during the stay. I host only one guest dog at a time, which allows me to give them plenty of individual attention and closely monitor how they're settling in. I use leashes and secure handling outdoors, keep food and other potential sources of conflict managed carefully, and never assume that two dogs who get along well don't still need thoughtful supervision. Most importantly, I pay attention. Dogs communicate constantly through their behavior, and I want to notice when a guest is relaxed, uncomfortable, tired, excited, or needs something different. My goal is to provide a safe, calm home where your dog can become part of the family while they're in my care.
About: Hi! I'm Harper and I've always been in love with animals, especially dogs, since I was young. I enjoy making connections and friendships with them, and they make me so happy. I am a dog mommy of a sweet Shiba Inu, and he is my cute BFF. When your furry baby is with me, I will treat him or her like my own, making sure that he or she is feeling as happy and comfortable as possible. I am pretty good at adapting to all of the unique dog personalities, and I'm very patient and gentle towards them. I will play games, take him/her on nature walks, and snuggle him/her. We have a huge dog park within 5 minutes of walking distance so they will sure to have a lot of play-dates! :) Your dog's well-being and safety are my priority. I ask that you bring any toys, water & food bowl, leash and/or harness, and food and treats (if you wish). I currently live in a house with backyard in Hayward. Let me know if you have any requests, and I will easily accommodate to your needs. Feel free to contact me with any questions, and I hope to see you and your lovely dog soon ♡ I'm currently work from home, which means your dog will always have human companionship throughout the day. I'm available for boarding on weekdays and weekends after 7 a.m. I care for your pet just like my own. I try to maintain a consistent schedule as instructed, and provide plenty of playtime with them in my fenced backyard. My furbaby is always happy to be your pup’s new best friend!

About: I had my first dog at nine, but cared for friends and families’ pets before that to prepare myself. I’ve always been good with animals and would be honored to care for yours in your absence. I’m also decent at getting them to take any medication that they might need. I am in between jobs at the moment and have my own transportation so caring for your babies would be at the top of my priorities I will tailor care for your pets based on your needs and preferences. Let me know your pet’s routine so that I don’t disrupt it too much. I will, of course, use crates if needed, and doors and locks will always be checked.
About: I have had pets off and on for over 30 years. I have had both cats and dogs. I have had them from very young until now. I enjoy playing with and spending time with my pets I am retired. I get to take care of my pets daily. I try to take the doge for walks and play with them daily. With my cats, I interact with them when they allow me. My pets are my family. I treat them just like any person. I make sure that they are taken care of and that have enough activities.
About: I'm a lifelong dog lover and am looking to get some quality time in with four legged friends. I can’t wait to give your fur babies the exercise and care they deserve! If you have a larger dog who needs more exercise, I will probably jog with your pup. Current badges on Wag! include: Preffered caregiver, Repeat Clients, Top Pet Caregiver I have long term exposure to and have lived with dogs. I also have some previous experience dog-walking and have trained a 70 pound lab puppy to stop pulling. I have also trained an adult Shiba to stop jumping. My experience includes regular dog-sitting and puppy-sitting on multiple occasions including fostering a puppy, so I was responsible for feeding, walking, potty training and bathing. I typically avoid dog walks and interactions with other dogs, simply because I cannot control how the other dog acts and I want to keep your pup safe. I work full time from home, so in-house sittings and weekdays work best. I will typically take pups out every 3-4 hours max unless they are puppies or have other medical needs. I am very covid conscious so I will wipe down surfaces after I use them. I take instruction well and I am very communicative so I am ready to work with you to figure out what’s best for your pet.
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.
“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!”

“They were great; attentive, flexible, and kind They made sure to send daily updates that included lots of pictures and videos. We are happy we found them to watch our standard poodle.”
“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.”
“Olivia was amazing! We received updates and photos daily during Milano’s stay. Her home had a great setup with plenty of outdoor space in the yard for the dogs. She is very experienced with working with dogs. We would love to rebook with her next time!”
“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!”
“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!”
“Sunday has been through a lot of difficult changes recently—a move, the loss of her doggy best friend and just normal growing up. Sunday is a sweet girl but can be high energy, anxious and a little mischievous. Megan and Jenny handled Sunday like absolute pros. Sunday was entertained with walks and lots of play time in their sweet house/yard. Jenny + Megan are responsible, reliant, and absolutely in love with their dog friends, not to mention flexible and easy-going—they treated Sunday like their own and I feel so thankful to have found such loving people to look after my girl. From the very first interaction they have been so responsive and accommodating! I hope to rebook them again soon, just so Sunday can get her fix!”
About: Dogs have been part of my life for almost as long as I can remember. I grew up with dogs, and my parents bred and showed Dobermans, so I was surrounded from an early age by thoughtful, consistent dog care and training. With only a few gaps during college and early adulthood, I've had a dog by my side throughout my entire life. I'm currently a dog owner myself, and my dog is very much part of my everyday life. That's also how I approach boarding. Rather than caring for a large group of dogs, I prefer to host one guest at a time so they can settle into our household and receive plenty of individual attention, companionship, walks, play, and affection. I'm home much of the day, so a visiting dog isn't routinely left alone for long stretches. I believe dogs respond best to patience, consistency, clear boundaries, positive interaction, and lots of affection. I also know every dog has its own personality, habits, and comfort level, so I want to learn what makes your dog feel safe and at home. My goal is simple: while you're away, your dog gets to live as a beloved member of the household rather than feeling like they're being sent away to boarding. I work primarily from home, and my own dog is already my near-constant companion, so caring for another dog fits very naturally into my daily life. When I board a dog, my intention is for them to join our household and our routine rather than spend long stretches of the day alone. That means plenty of companionship, regular walks and outdoor time, play, relaxation, and, when it's appropriate for the individual dog, coming along with us on dog-friendly outings. I take my own dog with me frequently and am happy to do the same with a guest who enjoys it. Most importantly, I adjust the routine to the dog. Some dogs love being out and about; others are happiest relaxing somewhere familiar and quiet. During their stay, I pay attention to what makes them comfortable and adapt accordingly. I want each dog in my care to feel safe, included, and genuinely at home while their family is away. Safety starts with making sure a dog is a good fit for our home.

“Very good with communication. Nina was very happy and had a great time hanging with Robert. He sent pix during her stay and Nina hung out with new friends. Thanks!”
“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!”
“Siu Kei (Alex) was amazing, took great care of our Nikita and Milo. We had a great experience from the start. We appreciated pictures of our furry babies looking happy and relaxed. We will book again for our next trip in the next 2 months. Highly recommended. Thank you Alex”
“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!”
“Fuji was so well taken care of during his very first boarding with April, Josh, and Boba! Josh was excellent in his response time to my questions, drop off and pick up was quick and easy, and video updates (loved them) were fantastic to receive! And it was so wonderful to see Fuji walking off their cozy bed (which hints to me that he was allowed to sleep on the bed - a big plus since he sleeps with me in my bed!). Thank you so much, you guys are absolutely fabulous! The house is very clean too, and very open setting which allows the goldens to play as much as they want inside. Fuji is exhausted, and I think wondering where Boba is. Next time for sure! I will book with them again. THANK YOU!”
“This is like Copper’s second home now. He feels so comfortable being over there that he gets excited when we turn into their neighborhood. We are truly grateful for this relationship and trust Ching and her family to take good care of our pet.”
About: I got my first dog, Cookie, in 2017, but I had birds and fish as pets prior. I took care of most of the toys, treats, food and vet care for him. He is now around 11 and although I've moved out of the family home, I'm helping my parents transition him to senior care level: watching out for his joints and diet mostly. I've since moved in with my partner who has a 4 year old Corgi. He is a friendly, but high energy pup who would benefit from having other dogs around to play with. I sometimes dog sit my family dog with the corgi, so I am well versed in juggling puppy energy and training alongside senior care. I have a hobby photography background, so expect photo updates of your fur babies! 9/7 Mon ( Labor Day): FREE ALL DAY I'm currently mostly available on weekends (Fri, Sat, Sun) and holidays. Only looking to board/daycare one dog at a time right now, just so I don't overwhelm my own dog. May increase to more than one in the future! Mon-Thurs: Daycare/House sitting: None. Boarding: Drop-off after 5pm Drop in visits, dog walking: Nights only, 8pm onwards. Fri/Sat/Sun availability: Usually free all day for all offered services. Limited availability: 8/22: Free 5pm onwards. 8/29: Free 8pm onwards. 8/30: Free 5pm onwards. 9/5 Sat (Labor Day weekend): Free 3pm onwards. 9/6 Sun (Labor Day weekend): Free 6pm onwards. We have basic grooming equipment, if needed, to file nails, shave paw pads, and brush out fur. Weekends, I am able to spend more time with pets, like go on longer walks and visit pet friendly places (if you're ok with that). I have a fenced yard with grass/concrete area and an energetic Corgi for your dog to play with! I'm very respectful in others' homes and will strive to leave everything the way I found it or better. I am super organized and love relying on making to-do lists to keep track of all my tasks and responsibilities. I have a whiteboard dedicated for this at my home, but use my phone when I'm outside or in other's homes. I'm open to both crate trained and not crate-trained dogs. For cats, I make sure the litterbox is always clean and try to play with them if they want. Additionally, I'm always mindful of entering and leaving homes, in case a pet makes an escape attempt through my open door. I'm very detail-oriented, have great communication skills, and take great notes. So I make sure I know exactly the type of care you want for your pet!
“Kendal was so great with Raven and very easy to work with. She got Raven to relax and cuddle by day 2 of knowing her which is a huge deal for our anxious little rescue baby!”
“J&J took great care of my baby and sent pics of him chilling on laps! Hard to beleive I was so nervous about a new sitter. They are great and have more than the comforts of home.:)”
