Kayla and Mike have been taking my dog, Cross, on hikes and boarding him for about the past 4-years…read moresince he was a puppy. Among many other things, they've been an integral part of his development and socialization over the years. Most importantly, these dogs go on legit adventures daily! Professional, flexible and cool people. I highly recommend their services.

Kayla is the BEST! We've been using her services for the past 4ish years and are so happy we found…read moreher! She is very communicative, responsible and competent. I fully trust her with our high-maintenance boy and that's saying a lot coming from a serious helicopter dog owner! :) She will love your dog like they are her own and it is obvious how much she loves all her pack. She is flexible and adaptable - our lives can be chaotic so we cancel/add services at the last minute and she is very accommodating to our needs. She goes out of her way to say hello to our foster dogs to help with their socialization - whats not to love? Mike is great as well, every time my dog sees him he lets out excited happy barks and I know he loves our talkative dog and his silly antics. We have tried out other dog hiking services in the CV/Hayward area in the past and none compare to Kaylas Pet Services! Look no further if you need someone to look after your furry loved one!

We boarded our 4-year-old English Springer Spaniel, Dior, at Uncle PawPaw for 5 nights -- his first…read moretime ever being boarded -- and Roy was absolutely amazing. From day one, Roy made us feel completely at ease. He sent daily photos and videos of Dior having the time of his life with his furry friends, which was huge for us since Dior never really got to socialize like that before. Seeing him so happy, relaxed, and genuinely enjoying himself made all the difference. Roy clearly loves what he does and treats the dogs like his own. We couldn't have asked for a better first boarding experience and will 100% be booking again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a place where their dog will be truly cared for.

I was…read moreso nervous and scared to leave her alone with a stranger and it is the first time she's been boarded without her sister, who passed last March. But WOW!! Roy at PawPaw is truly amazing and the only person I trust. I came home to a beautiful, clean and better dog than when I left!! It's like she remembers her early training again-- she sits on command, is quiet on command (now HOW did you do that??!!) and is just perfect!! Holy cow!! Roy sends pictures and videos every day so you know that she is safe and happy. I loved seeing her "tucked in" at night with the other pups. I don't trust anyone else with my dog other than family and Roy. Thank you for taking such great care of my dog. I appreciate it more than you know.

We give Erin 5 Paws up ! ! ! ! !…read more Erin has an instant connection with animals, before you know it your pet will be on it's back beggin for a tummy rub. This was the first time I left my babies with someone other than a family member. I had no apprehension because I was instantly at ease that they would have nothing but the best care. What I like about "Your Home Pet Nanny" is that your pets are cared for in their own home - their happy place. Erin's rates are very reasonable. She is thorough and asks questions about their health, visitors and if there are any special needs. Nanny Erin genuinely loves animals and gives walks, lots of love, plenty of playtime, and mucho kisses. She will even send you a text to update you on how your pet is doing. Erin pet sits in the following areas: Castro Valley (special rates for Castro Valley residents), Hayward, San Leandro, San Lorenzo, Piedmont, Union City, Pleasanton, Danville, Dublin, and San Ramon.

I used Keelie and her team to walk my dog (daily) for 2 months. I was recovering from surgery…read more They were so professional, responsive and had excellent communication. They took great care of Sandi. She got so excited when she heard her dog walker coming to the door that she started jumping with excitement. A couple things they do to take extra care include: 1) Keelie (owner) personally introduces me to every person who will walk Sandi. 2) They use special leashes with AirTags. Their team members are licensed and bonded to. I highly recommend Keelie and her team.

On the walk through before our first sitting, she understood right away what needed to be done. Every day she sends a report with photos. It really is so nice to see the pics of my kitties every day when I'm away. Autumn thus far has been available short notice which my previous sitter needed at lest 2-3 weeks advance notice. On top of that, she is cool with coming every other day which saves me a ton of money. I suspect I will be using Fetch! Pet Care's services for a long long time.

Super grateful to have found Alex to board and care for my high energy labradoodle puppy, Marlo!…read more From the start, it was clear through initial interactions with Alex that he was well prepared and qualified. He answered all my questions and asked great questions in return. I could tell he understands how to care for animals with patience and joy. Marlo can be a handful with all his energy and need for attention, but Alex handled it like a pro - providing plenty of playtime, socialization and affection. It was especially comforting to receive regular updates and photos that gave me peace of mind while we were away. Marlo even made a new bestie, bonding with another doodle Alex was caring for. When we picked up Marlo, he was happy and healthy. We can tell he had a great week thanks to Alex!

Django, my goofy Akita, boarded with Alex from 7/20-7/27…read more Alex is a great communicator and prompt in his responses! He is definitely trustworthy and asked appropriate questions related to Django's needs prior to boarding. He shared updates and photos which I did not request in advance, but took it upon himself to help ease our minds while we were away on vacation! After the initial expected super excited reunion b/w Django and his humans, I could definitely tell Django was very happy and relaxed. I will continue to utilize the services offered with this business because I know my pet is in good hands. I would definitely recommend Alex because his love and attention to the animals under his care is obvious. Thank you Alex!

Analyn did a wonderful job caring for our beloved cat Fion while we were gone for two whole weeks…read more We received lots of photos and updates and loved that Fion could walk around and hang out in different places rather than being in a kennel or "cat condo" for two whole weeks. Unfortunately, a cat sitter who drops by the house doesn't work for us because Fion ruins the house if she is left alone. So being able to leave Fion at Analyn's house works out very well for us. We highly recommend iThink Pet to other pet owners!

My husband and I were so fortunate to find iThink Pet in 2016 when searching for a new cat sitter…read moreon Yelp, after we moved to San Leandro. We had excellent cat sitters for several years (but were moving to a new location where they no longer could serve) so we were very anxious to find the "right fit". The search was over upon meeting Analyn Carino. She was kind, personable and passionate about her business. We also thought it was wonderful this was a family run business where her brother, Jason, would also be working with us. We have found Jason and Analyn's associates to be very attentive to our last minute cat sitting needs and requests. This is one of their greatest strengths, their excellent communication and responsiveness. Daily photos, and daily texts to keep us informed! Wow! When they arrive at our home to watch over Loke, our flame-point short hair Siamese and Mocha, our black medium hair tabby, they work extra hard to ensure we can have peace of mind while we are out of town. From these daily updates, summaries and taking photos of our fur babies to taking in our packages that arrive at our front step as well checking our mail, they are professional, dedicated and easy to work with. We appreciate their concern and gentle treatment of Loke and Mocha, as if they were their own pets, which is one of our top priorities in retaining pet sitting services. We highly recommend Analyn, Jason and the iThinkPets team. If you ever have a question, feel free to reach out to myself through Yelp as we would proudly provide a referral! We welcome questions and happily available to share our own personal positive stories and experiences after working with iThinkPet since 2016. They are wonderful and Loke and Mocha love them like family. Thanks so much Analyn and Jason! We iThinkPet!

This is a review for Boarding at Club K9 in Castro Valley / San Ramon…read more We will not send our dog there again based on this experience on a 5 night stay from 6/27 to 7/2. This was not over a holiday weekend. Consistent messaging by email (after night 1) and phone from Club K9 staff was that Mira was having a great stay - we were notified that she wet her crate/dog bed the first night, but we weren't worried as that could've been a switch from dry to wet dog food. When we returned to pick her up - we were told that she had a great stay! But we were then told later that she had a second accident where she fully soiled her dog bed with diarrhea, likely due to the stress of being in the crate, and an employee handed out some extra prebiotics to help over the next few days. She also had a fairly large nose injury from rubbing it on the crate/fences. No one from Club K9 noticed the injury over the 5 day period or let us know - the reaction from the employee when shown the injury was "oh my god, we have no records of this!" with an off-the-cuff recommendation not to send her to this facility in the future. I have no issue with the facility's standard operating procedure of crating the dogs overnight- we were told and shown the facility in advance. I have significant concerns that staff are emphatically optimistic on every dog's "reports" when that optimism is unwarranted. Honesty that Mira wasn't having a good stay would have been appreciated- we would have made a call to have a friend pick her up for the last night or two. We will take the employee's advice and not send her to Club K9 in the future. Staff's evident ignorance of concerning issues, or lack of care to proactively address the situation, all while telling owners that everything is fine is too much for us.
