“Loved letting Plumeria stay with Kushram! Went out of town for 4 days, and they took great care of her. They sent photos every few days for updates on care, and were very kind and reassuring. Will definitely be going back.”
“Ashish was great. Good communication and very accommodating. Our dog had fun with a few other dogs about his size. It was a good experience overall. Definitely would do a repeat.”
“Allora was great! I only have positive things to say, Coco seemed so happy staying with her and her family. Allora sent me frequent updates and pictures which was great! I will definitely be boarding Coco with her again.”
“Working with Jeanette and her sweet family was wonderful! Lil Ray came back nice and tired from all the play time. Would definitely recommend and will use their services again!”
“If you are looking for an EXCELLENT sitter for your dog, don't hesitate to book with Deborah! We have one dog with some special problems and Deborah was a champ with her. We got multiple pictures and updates on how they were doing through out the day. Our babies came home happy, healthy, and exhausted, so we know they had a great time. Thank you Deborah for watching our babies without us having to worry about them. BOOK WITH DEBORAH YOU WON'T BE SORRY!!!!!”
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.
“We are SO grateful we found Luna! Our usual dog care fell through right before a long out-of-state trip, and we were genuinely considering postponing because our senior dog, Indi, has recently been diagnosed with IBD and needs a specialized diet, daily meds, and a calm, attentive environment. She can get stressed easily in new places, which has previously led to tummy issues and even skin flare-ups — so we were very nervous about leaving her with someone new. From the very first message, Luna was incredibly warm, proactive, and thoughtful. She even offered to set up a meet-and-greet right away before we could ask, which immediately put us at ease. Once we dropped Indi off, it was clear Luna treats animals like family. Her own dog, Jim, also has IBD, so she had first-hand experience and comfort caring for a pup with similar needs. Throughout the two weeks, Luna provided detailed updates every single day — including meals, meds, walks, and yes, digestion reports (very appreciated 😂). She took so many adorable photos and videos that we could see how happy and relaxed Indi was. Our dog walker also commented on how noticeably happier and healthier Indi seemed while staying at Luna’s — her stools even improved (a true win for IBD dog parents!). Communication was flawless, kind, and reassuring the whole time. We felt completely at ease, which is priceless. We would absolutely book with Luna again and recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone looking for a sitter who is caring, attentive, and truly exceptional. Indi came home happy, calm, and healthy — we couldn’t ask for more. 💛🐾”
About: Hello! I’m a lifelong dog lover and the proud owner of a 10-year-old Shih Tzu–Pomeranian mix which lived with us since he was 2-month-old. So I am experienced with dogs at all ages. I’ve cared for many smalls to medium size dogs over the years and understand their routines, personalities, and needs. I have a clean, well-kept and very large, fenced yard and offer a calm, clean, and safe home with plenty of attention and gentle play. I enjoy hosting small to medium-sized dogs and treat every pup like part of the family. What is my drive? I host dogs, because I want a companion for my doggy, I enjoy spending time with dogs, and I am home every day of the week. I am available for boarding seven days a week and maintain a flexible schedule. I am home most of the day, allowing me to provide consistent supervision, care, and attention. I can often accommodate bookings on short notice and work with your schedule to ensure a smooth drop-off and pick-up experience. I provide a safe, clean, and calm home environment for all dogs. I have a large, fully fenced yard where dogs can run and play freely, along with a doggy door for easy outdoor access when appropriate. I only have one small, friendly dog at home, and I carefully introduce pets to ensure comfort and compatibility. Your dog will be supervised, cared for attentively, and treated like part of the family.
“Wenxin is super friendly, a total dog lover (she has two rescue dogs who are very friendly and cheerful), and took great care of my dog while I was away. She sent very detailed, fun to read daily reports that chronicled every activity they did indoor and outdoor. Best dog sitter that you can find - no question!”
“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.”
“I am so grateful to have found Ikeena here. My dog has anxiety and Ikeena immediately put him at ease and took great care of him. She asked thoughtful/caring questions since my dog has some special needs. She took my dog on hikes/walks in the park and took excellent care of him. She sent videos and photos too.”
“Cat is wonderful. After her second stay I wasn't sure Molly, our dog, even wanted to come home with us. Cat really puts effort into treating your dog as one of her own. Great photo updates as well. She has become our goto sitter.”
“Ross was awesome! From our initial meeting, he asked all the right questions about the care and personality of my pup. During my pups stay, Ross was great about sending daily photos and updates on how my little guy was managing with my absence. I could see from the photos that my pup and Ross's pup were getting along really well... This left me feeling very comfortable that my pup was enjoying his 'vacation'. Thanks so much Ross! We look forward to Baxter staying with you again soon!”
“I can't find the words to express how grateful I am for the loving, attentive care you provided to my senior fur baby, Izzy. Thank you for the daily updates and photos that gave me complete peace of mind while we were away. Izzy clearly enjoyed her stay, and I knew she was in the best hands. Gayane, you are truly amazing. I'm forever thankful to have found you, and am hopeful this is just the beginning of many wonderful stays to come.”
“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: I’ve always had pets growing up as a child at my grandparents and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends and volunteering over the years.I’ve been taking care of various pets while their owners are away at work, or on vacation. I’m currently taking clssses online from home and have time to to board during the week/ weekends. This is the perfect time in the summer for me to stay home and pick hobbies. I’ve one dog name Sadie and a back yard to play and have company. Sadie is full of energy and would love to play w another fur babies
“Kassandra and Mario were great! They accepted our request at short notice and were very nice and accommodating. They had a crate for our 60 lb. dog, which was nice because we didn’t have to bring ours. Kassandra sent pictures and videos and kept us updated. They also made sure she was walked and got plenty of play time in at the dog park nearby and with their collection of toys. We’d definitely use her again!”
“We loved how easy it was to use Sarita! She has a few people there helping with the dogs so they are never alone and my dogs we're excited to go inside. There's a good backyard that is enclosed so I feel that my dogs are safe there! We will be using them again for much longer and I can't wait to get updates.”
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.

About: I grew up with cats, and a year hasn't gone by without a cat in my life. I've helped acclimate wild garage cats to humans on several occasions, and have learned all the tiny body language cues. I've had friends praise me for my ability to quit the petting while I'm ahead and not get scratched by even the sassiest of cats.
About: I've always had pets of all kinds, but cats have been my favorite. My oldest cat lived to be 20, she was well loved. My last cat just passed in November of last year, and I feel the loss. I'm now ready to shower your pet with love and care! Right now I can take one cat at a time, or 2 if they are from the same home. They must have a carrier or cage. I will provide the litter box. They will be able to access multiple rooms in the house if they want to.
“Erin was super helpful. I had booked her last minute and she was able to help me which I greatly appreciated. Kept Neoh happy, cleaned up after him, and was on time each visit. Thank you again for all your help!”

“Jenna was great! I have a special needs senior kitty who prospered under Jenna's care. Going away has been challenging finding the right person to care for my sweet girl. Jenna is a great communicator and clearly is great with cats. My 2 kitties were content and relaxed when I came home. We will definitely invite Jenna back!”
“Rachael was AMAZING! Your fur babies are in great hands with her. She was extremely attentive to all the special care our senior kitty needed, was quick to reply and easy to get ahold of, and did a fantastic job with all the little extra house tasks while we were away for a few days. Cannot recommend her enough!”
“Kyla was awesome! She was always on time and made sure our kitties were doing good while we were away. She was super responsive and quick on updates. We loved all the pictures and will definitely be a repeat customer! ?”
“Val was amazing! She did drop in visits for my dogs for about five days. On each visit she took pictures and updated me on the status of my dogs. I could see on their faces that they were having fun with Val. She even bought them some toys to play with. She was very attentive and responsible.”
“Thank you so much for caring for our spotty boy! We really appreciate you and the time you took to come see to his needs. Excellent work, super responsive and communicative.”
“Thanks so much Mandisa, Mac had a great time meeting and walking with you and it was so reassuring for me to spend time with you before you house sit, I know he will be in good hands with you!!”

“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!”
“Jeannette and her family are amazing. My dog loves coming to their house. They are gentle and loving, which I appreciate. We've come back several times for boading and daycare.”
About: I live in Hercules (East Bay) and only do IN HOME CARE for dogs and sometimes cats. I've found there is less stress if they stay in their own familiar surroundings with your smells; especially if they are blind or deaf or have elderly med needs.. I also give medications and understand senior dog needs. My small Chihuahua SOPHIE comes with me and gets along with everyone. I am semi-retired and will attend to all your instructions, sleep with your baby if that is what is required. I specialize in small dogs but will consider anything, especially if you are in a bind and need someone ASAP. Call me and let's discuss your needs! Thank you. I'm semi-retired and usually available. I am happy to take your dog to dog parks. Sophie and I go on long walks everyday, sometimes twice. We are active. We will follow your schedule. I've great references for in-home care which is all I do now. I also keep the house clean and will do laundry or other needs while I am there. Long or short stays, just let me know what you need. I've background checks that are stellar, never any incident. I am a professional.

“William is great with Louie! He treated Louie just the way he cares for his own fur babies. He was available on short notice, and sent me pictures of Louie while I was at work. That really put me at ease knowing that Louie is having a great tome.:)”

“It is our first time using Rover and we chose the right person to take care of our puppy Max. Allora and her family were amazing. She had him for the day and he had the time of his life! They constantly kept us updated with photos and videos and even let him wear an Air Tag to make sure he's safe. We'll definitely let our dog stay over here again!”
“Baoying was great with Louie! She provided playtime and exercise for my very playful pet. I also like the way her pet matches Louie’s energy, Louie is a lot calmer when i picked him up.”
“Deborah took great care of our dog Noodle. Noodle is a little shy and Deborah was very patient and caring. Her house is well set up and has a great enclosed yard. She sent us some great pictures too!”

About: I have had pets all my life and have a special way with many animals. From tiring out restless pups through play so they can settle in their doghouses, to gaining the trust of the sassiest cats, my patience and kindness towards all animals has gained me the favor of friends and family to care for their pets. I am currently a full time student, so my availability throughout the week can vary. Despite this I find myself to have my afternoons and evenings mostly free. Additionally, my weekends will be free most weeks. In a cliients home, I would do my best to respect the environment and the pets space. Not surprising the pet or adjusting things from their usual place, like food or water bowls, to show I am not here to change pet routines but just to help them along. Additionally, gaining trust on walks and setting firm boundaries with the pet to keep myself and the pet safe when out and about.
“Merlette was so patient with our dog who was a little shy on the first visit. She’s also a great communicator and made the whole process easy. So relieved to have found someone who can walk our dog.”

“Ilse did great with Xena. She was attentive to Xena’s reaction to other dogs . She kept her under control and calm. Xena was happy to see Ilse when she came. She was on time and was needed for a week after I had hip surgery. Good job.”
“"I couldn't be happier with their service. I was nervous about finding the right walker for my kids pup, but they were incredibly patient and gentle. Fantastic service! 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”
“Thank you so much Adam!! You are simply the best!!! Adam is my go-to every time, and he never disappoints. My dogs love Adam!! I am so happy I found him, and so are my dogs!! Thank you!!!”
“Emma is very punctual, flexible with her schedule, and easy to communicate with. My dog is high energy and anxiety, she’s not trusting of new ppl and is very vocal. Two walks later, she’s Emma’s best friend. I appreciate Emma’s calm energy. She lets dogs go to her and doesn’t force any affection onto them while being attentive and sweet. She walks my dog twice a week and she will be boarding with her soon. Highly recommend.”

I also have toys for them since i understand they also like to chew on toys and for peeing i have a porch thats clean and i can put pads for them. The lost important thing is i know they need lots of attention and im willing to give that to them.Just know i will treat your companion very well. I have a flexible schedule and make time to give every pet the attention they deserve. I’m available most weekdays, evenings, and weekends. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, or companionship, I’ll make sure they’re happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I follow your care instructions closely, provide plenty of love and attention, and keep a clean, calm environment. I’ll treat your pet like family and keep you updated with photos and messages so you have peace of mind while you’re away.

About: PLEASE READ BEFORE REACHING OUT. I have been around dogs my whole life and always loved them. I am currently in-between jobs so your dog will get all his potty breaks and long or short walks. Hablo español! I think of dogs like family and will do everything under my power for their well-being. Please understand I have to do a meet and greet for everyone's safety. Even if it's only one day or one walk, I can only do a rushed request if there is time to do a meet and greet at least one day before. Please note that I have one dog and I will also attend to his needs, this will not take away so much attention from your dog but if your dog does not do well with other pets is best to skip me as a sitter. I take shifts when ever I am available to work (on my time), I will not take a shift if I know I have a doggie scheduled. I live in an ADU with my own fenced back yard, where my dog and yours can play and have potty breaks freely. I will keep a close eye to make sure your dog is safe at all times. I have an extra crate but I do not use it with my dog, if your dog feels more comfortable in it, please let me know so I can have it ready.
“We have a newborn, so it's a huge relief to have Deborah walk our dog every morning. Our dog Lucie waits for her by the window and is always so excited to see her. That tells me she treats the doggies well and develops a good bond with them! Deborah is communicative and easy to work with. Highly recommend!”
About: I have been in the animal world since 2017 with my first job being at an animal shelter. In 2024 I graduated from a university to earn my bachelor's degree in canine science to further my knowledge and skill. 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.
“I must say, Maikala is truly amazing with my beloved doggie Ellie! Her warm and tender care for my furry baby is beyond words. I am immensely grateful for her kind and loving attention towards Ellie.”

About: I live in Hercules (East Bay) and only do IN HOME CARE for dogs and sometimes cats.

I am happy to take your dog to dog parks. Sophie and I go on long walks everyday, sometimes twice. We are active. We will follow your schedule.

I've background checks that are stellar, never any incident. I am a professional.

“I am so grateful to have found Ikeena here. My dog has anxiety and Ikeena immediately put him at ease and took great care of him. She asked thoughtful/caring questions since my dog has some special needs. She took my dog on hikes/walks in the park and took excellent care of him. She sent videos and photos too.”
“Cat is wonderful. After her second stay I wasn't sure Molly, our dog, even wanted to come home with us. Cat really puts effort into treating your dog as one of her own. Great photo updates as well. She has become our goto sitter.”
“Ross was awesome! From our initial meeting, he asked all the right questions about the care and personality of my pup. During my pups stay, Ross was great about sending daily photos and updates on how my little guy was managing with my absence. I could see from the photos that my pup and Ross's pup were getting along really well... This left me feeling very comfortable that my pup was enjoying his 'vacation'. Thanks so much Ross! We look forward to Baxter staying with you again soon!”
“I can't find the words to express how grateful I am for the loving, attentive care you provided to my senior fur baby, Izzy. Thank you for the daily updates and photos that gave me complete peace of mind while we were away. Izzy clearly enjoyed her stay, and I knew she was in the best hands. Gayane, you are truly amazing. I'm forever thankful to have found you, and am hopeful this is just the beginning of many wonderful stays to come.”
“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: I’ve always had pets growing up as a child at my grandparents and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends and volunteering over the years.I’ve been taking care of various pets while their owners are away at work, or on vacation. I’m currently taking clssses online from home and have time to to board during the week/ weekends. This is the perfect time in the summer for me to stay home and pick hobbies. I’ve one dog name Sadie and a back yard to play and have company. Sadie is full of energy and would love to play w another fur babies
“Kassandra and Mario were great! They accepted our request at short notice and were very nice and accommodating. They had a crate for our 60 lb. dog, which was nice because we didn’t have to bring ours. Kassandra sent pictures and videos and kept us updated. They also made sure she was walked and got plenty of play time in at the dog park nearby and with their collection of toys. We’d definitely use her again!”
“We loved how easy it was to use Sarita! She has a few people there helping with the dogs so they are never alone and my dogs we're excited to go inside. There's a good backyard that is enclosed so I feel that my dogs are safe there! We will be using them again for much longer and I can't wait to get updates.”
“Christian, Deirdra and their 2 girls are absolutely wonderful. They were so good with my baby and always accommodating when possible for last minute boards. I love all the updates and pictures. Anytime I need and they have an opening this would be my goto dog sitter. You won't go wrong leaving your precious pups with the family as they will be well cared for and loved.”
“Absolutely the Best...! Couldn’t be more pleased with the compassion Lanette & David showed towards our fur babies. We also received daily updates with pictures, the entire stay.”
“Emma was excellent caring for my dog Mango! She was very flexible about timing which was super helpful while I’m traveling. Would definitely recommend. My dog came back happy, tired and clearly wasn’t stressed out at all.”
“Julie and Adam were AMAZING! They took such incredible care of Axel and we could tell he felt right at home with them. They have a lovely garden that he was able to enjoy - and they even gifted us some delicious greens that they’d grown! What gems they are! Axe is looking forward to seeing them again soon.”
“We re-booked with Iris for an overnight stay. Our pup had a fun time playing with Bacon, and taking walks in the neighborhood. It was reassuring to receive updates and photos from Iris; very attentive sitter.”
“Stefanie is amazing! We were nervous when our original sitter didn’t work out for our 6 month old puppy, but were able to book Stefanie and were beyond impressed! She is very experienced, knowledgeable, sweet and caring. I love that she communicated with us daily and sent photos as well. It put our kinds as ease while we were away. You can tell just how much Stefanie loves caring for pups. Don’t hesitate booking with her. You will not be disappointed and your furry friend will have the best time ❤️”
“We had such a wonderful experience leaving our dog with Kate! Kate sent daily pictures and updates, so we never had to worry about how our pup was doing; we could actually relax and enjoy our vacation, knowing she was in such caring hands. Kate's own dog, Rootie, is the sweetest thing, adorable, and so well-behaved, which says a lot about the loving environment she provides. It's clear that dogs are happy and comfortable in her care. We're so glad we got to meet Kate and sweet Rootie, and we'll definitely be knocking on their door again the next time we travel. Highly recommend!”
