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.

My boy Duke absolutely loves Roy and his team at Uncle Paw paws! My dog is like Energizer bunny…read morethat never runs out of the battery! Since he's been going to pawpaws, he comes home tired with so much play time. Roy also sends videos of him playing and pics, so I know he's in good hands. Drop and pickup is very convenient, and highly recommend Pawpaws daycare!

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.

We booked with Keelie because we really wanted our furbaby, Goose, to be part of our wedding day…read more Goose is a big boy--83 lbs--and we love him so much. While we made sure our venue was dog-friendly, we needed someone we could trust to take care of him during the festivities and bring him back to our Airbnb once the reception started. We are so incredibly happy and grateful we found Keelie! From the very start, Keelie was super responsive and friendly. We met a couple of weeks before the wedding so Goose and Keelie could get to know each other and we could go over all the logistics. On the big day, we didn't have to worry about Goose at all--Keelie went above and beyond to make sure he was happy and safe. Goose is big and energetic, but with Keelie, he was on his best behavior! Keelie even took adorable photos of Goose throughout the day, which wasn't part of the agreement but meant so much to us. She dropped him off at our Airbnb, gave him another walk, stayed with him until he finished his dinner, and let us know when she left. We absolutely loved Keelie and cannot thank her enough for taking such amazing care of Goose. If you're looking for a pet sitter who will treat your furbaby like their own, look no further--book with Keelie's Pet Sitting!

My dogs loved it and it so eased my conscious as my work schedule at the time was very long hours. I have also used them on an "emergency basis" when I took sick and a Fetch team member came to my house and exercised a new puppy who needed a great deal of attention. They are wonderful!

Fantastic web app to manage the account. The sitter that has been assigned to me, Autum, is…read morefantastic. 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!

Roya - the owner of Be My Barki - is a lovely woman whom I had met several times over the past…read moreyear at the Castro Valley Dog Park. During my dog's 4-day stay, I checked in with Roya who assured me that everything was going well. I only found out through a phone call from a concerned person at the dog park that my poodle had escaped from Roya's back yard and had run several blocks into a busy intersection. Thankfully a regular patron of the park happened to be walking his dogs in the area so he was able to call my dog over to the sidewalk where he grabbed her. Roya never called me or even mentioned this incident to me. I got the call about the escape a few hours before I was to pick my dog up from Roya's so I gave her the benefit of the doubt to discuss this with me when I arrived. When I asked her about Josie's stay, she said "everything was great". I asked if there were any problems. Roya paused and said that there was one problem in that a larger dog she was boarding had "attacked" (her word) a smaller dog. She said that my dog had become very shaky after this "attack" and wouldn't come from the corner of the dining room when she was called. I told her about the phone call and only then did Roya admit that my dog has escaped from a gap in her backyard fence soon after the incident with the other dogs. My 7lb poodle has no history of running away. It also concerns me that she did not conduct a temperament screening with Josie before accepting her for boarding. She also keeps dogs of all sizes in the same area. Note that she also made me pay for this visit and did not send home any of the toys I dropped off with my dog.

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!
