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!

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!

I can't say enough good things about Pupwalk! After interviewing several dog walkers, I was…read morehonestly starting to feel a little discouraged trying to find the right fit for Hermes. From the very beginning, though, Pupwalk stood out--and I am so incredibly grateful that I found them. They are not only professional and reliable, but truly kind and caring people who clearly love what they do. Hermes absolutely adores his daily walks, and I can tell he feels comfortable, happy, and safe with them. As a dog owner, that peace of mind is everything. Knowing that someone treats your dog like their own is priceless. They're always punctual, communicative, and attentive to Hermes's needs. It's clear they pay attention to details and genuinely care about his well-being, not just "getting the job done." I've noticed such a positive difference in his routine and energy, and it makes me so happy to see how excited he is for his walks. If you're looking for someone trustworthy, dependable, and truly compassionate to take care of your dog, I highly recommend Pupwalk. Finding them was such a relief, and I couldn't imagine a better team to trust with Hermes!

I have had such a wonderful experience w Pupwalks so far!!! Have been using their dog walking…read moreservices for the last few months and my dog Murphy just absolutely adores everyone who walks him! The app setup Time To Pet is phenomenal: they're able to send a check in and check out time for the walk, the route they took, photos of your doggie, if they pooped and/or peed, if they drank some water afterward, etc. It has truly made my life so much easier with returning to work and they're always so dependable. I can tell Murphy is very loved on by how happy he looks in all the photos they send me of him!!! Would highly recommend Pupwalks to anyone in need of a dependable, loving, friendly dog walker!!! :) I included some photos they have sent to me over the last few months as well!

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.

My travel happened a lot of times at the last minute, and overall I feel like they did a great job accommodating me and handling the situations which were sometimes chaotic. My dogs are both super high energy, and they always seem to return relaxed from their stays. I like that there are certain activities they do with the dogs and that they video / photograph it daily. I do feel like a live camera would be nice but I understand that can bring more complications. Lastly, their actual place has gotten WAY nicer since I first went there. It looks very clean and organized.

Workindoggz has been a lifesaver for me and my three dogs. Each of my dogs has very different needs…read moreand I feel like this place has been able to support all of them. I originally started coming here for training with Ria when I brought home a new puppy and my other two dogs were not getting along with him. Through her training, all of my dogs have developed the skills they needed. The training is ongoing and I've been able to go at a pace that works for my schedule and budget. I now feel much more in control of my dogs' behavior. All three of my dogs are reactive in different ways and the training has made a huge difference. Ria is incredibly knowledgeable and takes the time to explain things in a way that actually helps me understand what I'm doing and why. She's also very consistent, which I really appreciate. I've worked with other trainers before, but it never felt like an ongoing relationship where I could ask questions or continue learning like I can with Ria. We've done both individual sessions and group reactivity classes and I love that my dogs get to practice being around other dogs in a structured, non-judgmental environment. I've seen real progress in each of them. One has improved with aggressive and overprotective behavior, another has built confidence, and my third has gained obedience skills and improved socialization. I also use their daycare for my youngest dog and he absolutely loves it. He's been going for about six months now. He comes home happy and tired from physical activity and mental enrichment. The facility is great, the staff are caring, and I love getting photo updates. It's also a big plus that they have grooming services on-site. It gives me extra peace of mind that the facilities are all indoors and they work closely with the vet next door in case of an emergency. I'm really grateful to have found a place that supports both my dogs and me!

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!
