Cat Sitters in Contra Costa Centre, CA

We are so glad to have found Namrata. Our dog stayed for 2 weeks. We got multiple pictures of her having a great time. Namrata was super communicative via text. She got daily walks and socialized with other dogs and humans. It was a huge relief to know that my doggie was living the good life while we were gone! I highly recommend happy pets and namrata!

We boarded our two year old rescue pup while we went to Vegas. The beginning was rough for our doggy because she was in a new environment and has anxiety. Namrata worked with her tirelessly, and after the first night, she was doing so much better. Namrata sent us updates, pictures and videos and set our minds at ease. This is the first time we’d used a boarding service and we will be returning whenever we need puppy care. Her rates are reasonable and the dogs have free access to the backyard as well as regular walks. We are very happy customers.

I’ve used Namrata three times now for all-day Doggy Day-Care and she has been wonderful with my fur baby! She’s sent me photos and updates, and the last time I pulled up to her home for drop-off, my pup was whining with excitement to enter!! Thank you Namrata, for all your love and care!

Namrata has taken care of Millie (my 3 year old doodle) for both dog day care and dog boarding. I have been dropping Millie off with her and her family since September 2023. Millie is always excited to see her when I drop her off. Namrata is very responsive and always provides picture updates. Her son and Millie have become best friends. I am so happy that I have found an amazing dog sitter for day care and dog boarding. This lets me go on my trips and into the office without worrying about her. I would definitely recommend Namrata for dog day care and boarding!

We have been very pleased with Happy Pets. She is very organized, and quick to answer by text for bookings, pick up time, etc. She will forward pictures to you during the time you are away from your dog if you request, and our small dog, Lola has always seen very well cared for. Lola can be temperamental, and whiny, and may not be the easiest dog to take care of, but Happy Pets has always done a great job of providing great care for Lola and understanding she is who she is.

Namrata did a great job boarding our 5.5 year old Jindo. She sent pictures and updates every day, making us feel comfortable being away from our pup. We would happily board our dog with Namrata again :)

Happy pets dog boarding is amazing!! They take the best care of my dog - lots of attention and walks and love. I can tell that my dog loves going there and it gives me great peace of mind to know that my dog is so well taken care of when I am out of town. Also , they are great at communicating- lots of pics and updates when I am away and scheduling the pet sitting has always been very easy. I feel lucky to have found them!

Namrata and her family took such great care of my dog Allie for one month. My initial plans for a dog sitter unexpectedly fell through, but on very short notice (just a few days) I was able to find Namrata who thankfully was able to take care of Allie for the whole month. I received photos and video and it was clear that Namrata, her family and her dog Albus were bonding with Allie and that she was very well taken care of. I’m thankful I was able to find Namrata and now feel confident that I have an excellent dog sitter for any travel in the future. I highly recommend her services.

Namrata is simply THE BEST!! If I could give her 10 stars, I would! My fur baby, Remy, has major separation anxiety. I was so worried about leaving him, as we've never left him with anyone! He's a 6 year old Frenchie and requires a lot of attention, exercise, and LOVE!! Thank you so much, Namrata!! Remy made new doggy friends, and was a happy boy during HIS 6 day vacation!! Daily fotos great communication! If you want the best care for your fur babies, look no further!! ❤️❤️❤️🐕👍🐈‍⬛

Namrata took great care of my pup during his stay there. She sent me pics everyday to keep me posted, and also hand fed my dog when he had low appetite. My dog came back home happily, indicating that he had a great time there! Thank you for your care!

Matt is wonderful! He takes excellent care of Tucker, as if he were his own. Our little guy is so excited to go play with Bizzy and the other pups every time he sees Matt. He is happy and exhausted when we come and pick him up, regardless of whether he was there for a half day or full day. Matt is super communicative with scheduling.

Matthew is the best! Our puppy loves him so much. He consistently sends us pictures and videos, keeping us updated. Our puppy is always excited for daycare and comes home happy and tired. Matthew is flexible and always does his best to accommodate our needs. We highly recommend him!

Matt is fabulous!! Our dogs are always excited upon his arrival. He truly adores the dogs. He's timely and communicates well about our walking appointments. I highly recommend his services.

Matt has been watching our Weimaraner since she was four months old. I never worry about her while she's there and she is always tired and happy when she comes home! He's very thoughtful with the mix of dogs he allows and she has really grown in her socialization while there. He's very flexible and really makes working life with a young, energetic dog much easier!

Matt is amazing and my pup loves and adores him! My pup is always excited to see Matt at drop off and is exhausted by the time I pick him up. Matt has been amazing at sending pictures of my pup throughout the day and keeping me updated. He responds quickly to any need and has been pretty flexible with my schedule.

My dogs love him and there is truly no easier person to work with. I spent a year going through other people on other services—you don’t need to do that! Go with Bizzy every time. He did a spot check on the dogs because my flight left earlier than I recalled within ten minutes of being asked if he could swing it. Hero stuff.

Our usual dog sitting plans fell through last minute and so in a rush, I turned to Google to find an alternate plan. I stumbled upon Bizzy’s Buddies website and, with their great reviews, decided to reach out. Within minutes, Matthew called back, took the time to explain his business philosophy, confirmed his availability, and we setup a meet and greet. I immediately felt comfortable and trusted that they’d take good care of our sweet girl. While away, he shared a lot of pics and we were able to stay updated from his active IG stories. Leaving your loved family members with a new face can be stressful, but Bizzy’s Buddies instantly made us feel good. We already have another reservation in the books! Thank you, Matthew.

We love Bizzy’s Buddies! Matt is so wonderful and caring with our German Shepherd /American bully mix. His communication, professionalism, attention to our pup, and his efforts to build trust with us has been amazing. Can’t say enough positive things! We highly recommend Bizzy’s Buddies if you are looking for someone that has a kind and positive attitude, is trustworthy in your home and with your fur baby. We feel so lucky to work with such a great local business that takes the effort and stress out of finding good quality care for our pup when we need help.

We are doing roadtrip from Vancouver, Canada with Shiro, our 5 months old puppy. We looked for dog sitter near by where we stayed and found Matt on google. We contacted him and we got a reply right away. The communication was very clear and professional. Matt sent us photos and videos for us throughout the day so we had a peace of mind that our fur baby is doing OK. Matt's dog (Bismarck) is a very gentle dog and Shiro had a fun time playing with him. I would recommend Matt for any friends and family when they visit San Francisco with their fur babies!

Thank you so much Matt for taking such wonderful care of our dog, from puppyhood to full grown! It has been a true savior to know my precious puppy is in good hands while I am at work. Thanks again!!

My best friend, Rosie the labradoodle, is a high energy kind of girl, so I make sure she gets plenty of exercise and socialization. Recently I found the doggie daycare at North Main Pet Lodge, which also does boarding. The good news is that Rosie loves her stays there, and I have complete confidence in the owners and staff, who are both friendly and professional. The lodge is not fancy but both the kennels and the play areas are clean and perfect for an active girl like Rosie. Highly recommended.

I have taken my two dogs to the pet lodge for several years now. The staff is wonderful and professional . I have the highest level of trust in them .

What I love most about the pet lodge is how thoughtful Chris, Colleen, and all of their friendly staff are to help create a comfortable stay for all types of doggy personalities. Highly recommend for both boarding and daycare services. Thank you North Main Pet Lodge!

This business used to be the best for your pet services, but since it's changed ownership, I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. We have a huskie, and before the change of ownership, our dog Dee loved loved loved this place, but since the change of ownership, the 1 time we took our dog, when we went to pick her up... she was crying and didn't even come up to us, and ran straight to our car 😞 this was heartbreaking for us. She was depressed for 3 days after we brought her home. Dee is usually a happy go lucky, fun loving dog, so this was disturbing for me. We miss the old owners....

I have been taking my dog Jasper to North Main Pet Lodge for 6 months and I’m extremely pleased with the quality of their services. Chris and Colleen have a lot of experience working with pets and it is evident by the care and attention they give each of their customers. I especially like that there are supervised play times to ensure everyone plays safely. I trust the care of my pet for both daycare and overnight boarding with North Main Pet Lodge!

We love North Main Pet Lodge and have used it for our cat for the last 8 years. The cat facilities are large and the enrichment provided by staff keeps our cat happy. We know he is safe and well looked after which gives us peace of mind. This is all besides the fact that the owners and staff are responsive, friendly and caring :)

Really pleased with North Main Pet Lodge, especially the good care and personal attention they gave our dog during his stay. This is a family owned operation, and they really know what they are doing. Will definitely be back -- this is now our preferred dog sitter! I especially like the upgrade options they offer for overnight stays, including 1 on 1 time with the dog, group play, various walks, and evening treats. We signed up for a couple of those extras, and they noticed which ones were effective for our dog and which ones weren't as effective. They proactively adjusted the play time so that our dog could do what he likes best (which also saved us some money). We also know exactly what to sign up for next time. The kennels are a very good size (4 ft wide by 15 ft deep indoor/outdoor area separate with a wall and doggy door).

We have been kenneling our dogs here for quite a few years. They have always been happy and healthy when we've picked them up. Owners are very nice and personable. They even managed to make my horribly unfriendly toy poodle like them. She hates everyone! They are a bit pricey, but you get what you pay for. I highly recommend them. Of note, when one of our dogs passed away from lymphoma in March, they were nice enough to send a condonence card.

Love it! Well taken care of. Great experience. We’ve been using them for almost 4 years. We have a old rescue cat. She needs a lot of extra love. Comes back very happy and adjusted. Owners are very personable and respond quickly. Great prices for the area.

Our 9 year old German Shepherd was recently diagnosed with intestinal cancer and we were afraid to board her. We left her at North Main Pet Lodge for 5 nights and she did fantastic!!! Chris and Colleen make you feel so at ease! We love this place and so does our dog!

East Bay Dog Walkers is a fantastic company to work with. I have been a customer for the last 2 years and have appreciated the ongoing communication with the owner, Mona, and my dog's walker. Scheduling is consistent and easy, prices are good, and I have always felt comfortable leaving my dog in their hands. Highly recommend this company.

Mona and her team of walkers have been wonderful. I tried for two years to get my dog to walk on leash without pulling. After walking with professionals for a few months we we a huge difference in her. Her reactivity to other dogs while on leash has also improved.

I've been using East Bay Dog Walkers for years and have had nothing short of great experiences. All of the walkers have been very polite, professional, and great with my dog. I've been very happy with them and have been recommending them to everyone.

“East Bay Dog Walkers” is the best I’ve used for my two dogs. Mona, the owner, runs a tight ship. Her hiring practices are excellent. She does a great job matching the skills and experience of her dog walkers with the dogs of her clients.

Best in the business. Mona and group have created a special bond with my 7 yr old goldendoodle. Mona is super flexible with last minute plans and she’s been able to find us walkers last minute or even boarding option the one time were in a bind. Would recommend them to anyone who has a dog!

East bay dog walkers was truly instrumental in helping to raise and take care of our little Poodle, starting when she was just 12 weeks old. We could always rely on them to take good care of her and make sure that she was happy, healthy, and having fun. I truly recommend Mona and her crew without any hesitation.

Angel has been walking my dog Kona for over a year and does a fantastic job! She is always on time, my dog is very comfortable with her, and I am happy that I can have my dog walked during the day. East Bay Dog Walkers provides a wonderful service, scheduling on line is very easy and their prices are reasonable. I recommend Angel & EBDW to all pet lovers.

Mona was fantastic! When she first greeted my pups, they instantly loved her! She welcomed them with open arms, and treated the pups as if they are her own. Usually my pups have a lot of energy and I was surprised that she was able to keep up and make them tired after their walk. I highly recommend Mona if anyone is looking for someone who goes above and beyond.

Whenever I need a dog walk or sitting I know I can rely on East Bay Dog Walkers. My dog always comes back happy and tired. I am very grateful to Mona and the other team members who love Coco and take care of her like family.

Overall, I have had a great experience with East Bay Dog Walkers. The online scheduling tool is extremely easy to use and payments are made seamlessly. I have had to schedule last minute dog walks and they have been extremely responsive and accommodating.

Happy Tails is THE BEST. 100% reliable, easy to schedule. We LOVE LOVE LOVE Jeanne, our walker, and so do our dogs! She is a kind and gentle soul. Happy Tails goes so above and beyond, definitely recommend!!

Happy Tails has been walking my dogs for several years and I have nothing but good things to say about them. They show up when they say they will, they treat the pups like they are their own, and they provide a variety of hiking options to keep the dogs happy and bring them home nicely tired. Leslie has a heart for dogs, and is a good resource for any issues you may be having with your dog's behavior. She also is very communicative and does not hesitate to reach out when needed.

Happy Tails is the best and I highly recommend them! I’ve used Happy Tails for years now with my 3 dogs and since I began service, I’ve never thought of going any one else. Leslie is responsive and always makes sure my appointments are set/confirmed. Michelle walks/checks-in on my boys. She always sends me pics of their adventure with her and frankly, some of the best pics of my dogs are ones she’s sent me. I don’t know why my boys are so well behaved for her and not me, but I’m sooooooo glad they are! When you’re in need of a pet sitter or dog walker it has to be someone you can trust 100% - That’s Happy Tails!

I have been using Happy Tails for over a year to care for my cat when out of town on several trips. Michelle takes excellent care of my cat while I am away including playing with and brushing her. Leslie makes it very easy to set up visits as needed I highly recommend Happy Tails .

Leslie makes Happy Tails easy to work with: contact, schedule and pay. Joanne is responsible, punctual and a great dog walker. She clearly loves her doggy charges and sends a picture and description of the walk. I always know we're in good hands with them.

Leslie and company are amazing! I really can't tell you how much I appreciate the service she offers. My dog always comes back happy and tired. Happy Tails is by far the best dog walking service we've ever had. They even send you photos of the pups every day. A++.

Happy Tails pet sitting has been a lifesaver for myself, my home and my animals. I have no worries about the quality, professionalism, and reliability of their services. I’ve been using their dog walkers and house sitters for about a year, and plan on continuing being a loyal customer! Can not recommend them enough!

Leslie saved us! I reached out needing a pet/house sitter for a week for our 3.5 month old puppy, as I tended to family out of state. Leslie quickly found the perfect match, a local experienced woman she has worked with for a long time. Both were professional the entire way through- from a walk through of our care routine to our return. Our sitter was responsive, kind, and understanding when we needed to lengthen our stay by a day. Our puppy was clearly cared for as evidenced by the daily photos we received (amazing quality photos I might add!!!) and the happy pup she was when we returned. Would certainly recommend Leslie's services. Our hesitancy around leaving out young pup with someone new quickly faded away upon meeting them both. Thank you Leslie!

I like the flexibility of Happy Tails. I have a direct like to our dog walker. She takes pictures and gives a summary of the walk. And my dog loves it. It is not an inexpensive service but our dog is a family member and worth it!

The team at Happy Tails does an amazing job with treating my pup like a member of their family! I get text and pictures of how his hikes go. My dog comes home tired and happy from playing with his friends every week! There's no better dog hiking services in the Walnut Creek area!

As life races past us, a business trip my wife and I had arrived on the calendar sooner than we anticipated. We called our usual kennel, but they were booked solid. I did some looking around for another kennel with high ratings, and came across Dog Over Breed. They were kind enough to return my call promptly, and said they would have to "vet" my older dog for temperament and ability to listen. This was for her and the other dogs safety. They quickly gave us the thumbs up, we booked the girls that day and left for our trip. Fast forward a few days; and my in-laws, who were set to pick them up, were unable to at the scheduled time. DOB were able to hold on to the girls until my in-laws were able to pick them up. Obviously for an upcharge, but at the standard daily rate. We had them groomed by DOB, and I'm very tempted to even change my groomer to Dog Over Breed. They both came back to us as beautiful as ever. Highly recommended, and will board/groom our dogs there again.

Dog Over Breed has been an amazing place for my dog Lázaro. They do an amazing job ensuring he is always well behaved, always training on how to walk with a pack on and off leash, and their grooming services are stellar. There have been several times when we needed to board Lázaro and Dog over Breed always comes through assisting us with our Furrson. I would give them 1,000 stars if possible! Mo and Vic love what they do and you can tell, my dog Lázaro is always super happy to see them! Best daycare on the east bay hands down!

So glad to have found this hidden gem in my community for my husky! I use their nail trim, bath and grooming services. They are always so accommodating with my schedule, they seem to be able to squeeze me in whenever I call for a last minute appt. I know they do a good job because my dog hates getting her nails trimmed but now she doesn't mind. Mo and staff handle the dogs in their care with lots of patience and love.

My husband and I adopted Maverick from the Contra Costa Animal Shelter in April 2024 and were struggling with training and socialization. I found Dog Over Breed driving by as my work is 2 blocks away. I met with the owners Mo & Vic and was immediately excited to enroll Maverick in their Doggy Day Care! With the constant care, training & guidance, Maverick has become a totally different dog.......... Thank you to everyone at Dog Over Breed! You are a true blessing! We will recommend you to all of our doggy friends!

My husband and I will be retiring in a few years and decided it was time to adopt a pup. We fell in love with a sweet 4 mos. old rescue that turned into the Tasmanian Devil when we brought him home. Roy was aggressive toward us resulting in a few bites and leaving me afraid of him. We had a trainer come in that yelled at the dog, yelled at me, and stressed us all out. Roy had started daycare at Dog Over Breed so we reached out to Mo and Vic for help. They spent a few hours with us on a Saturday morning and focused on puppy training and Puppy Parenting 101. The dog is doing well, I am still a work in progress (but trying). Roy has extreme separation anxiety-cries if I go to the mailbox. Yet he will jump over me, run to Chris and never look back when dropped off for daycare. He loves playing with the other dogs but needs to learn his manners. The training we received at home is reinforced in the daycare program so there is no confusion. We are looking forward to starting him in the group walks when he is ready and have already booked his first overnight boarding. When you read that Mo and Vic are dog whisperers, that is not an exaggeration. You must see them in action to believe it. And I cannot stress enough how peacefully they work. There is no yelling, no hitting, no meanness. The dogs understand what is acceptable behavior. A huge shoutout to Chris and the other staff members that happily greet our pup in the morning. Not sure how we were lucky enough to find this place, but so thankful we did.

I cannot recommend Dog Over Breed highly enough. Mo and Vic are a Godsend. By the time I reached out to them, I was convinced I would never be able to vacation or have strangers into my house. We rescued our Rookie when he was about 8 weeks old. We were given a lot of bad advice in the beginning. We were told to bring him to the vet and not introduce him to any other dogs until he was fully vaccinated. Due to COVID, when we went to the vet, we were not allowed to enter. When I took him back to the vet for his last round of shots, he started freaking out. He was terrified. He was so scared, they actually had me walk him in. When i took Rookie to his first puppy social, he was scared and acting in an aggressive manner. The trainer told me that he was suffering from fear aggression and due to his age, he missed his biologically opportunity to be socialized. She suggested finding a good trainer ASAP. I found a trainer and she helped me with socialization and basic obedience. This was helpful, but Rookie was often times taken away from the pack because they had too many dogs to work with mine. I also struggled having people in my home because Rookie wasn’t comfortable with this. By this point, Rookie was 80lbs. He is a Shepard/pit mix and can be very intimidating when he is barking. Due to some issues at the vet, I ended up switching vets. When I requested Rookie’s records, it appears there was an incident at the vet that triggered his fear and nervousness. After reading his vet report, along with all the negative reinforcement I had received from several trainers, I was afraid of what my dog would do. I was not afraid at home, when it was just us, but definitely did not want to bring him around people. I was not willing to give up on Rookie. If I had surrendered him, he would have been put down. I resided myself to the fact that for the next decade, I would be tied to my house with my sweet, scary looking dog. After a few months, I really needed a vacation. This is when I started to research trainers and boarding that work specifically with more challenging breeds. Dog Over Breed came up in my research. Based on the reviews, I decided to give them a call. Mo answered my call. He asked me what I was looking for. Instead of answering his question, I started to explain Rookie’s story and he immediately stopped me. He asked if he could meet Rookie and form his own opinion. He said he did not want to know anyone else’s opinion before he met Rookie. We made an appointment to meet up. We met in the parking lot of his place. When I got there, Rookie was going ballistic. There were all kinds of people walking by and Rookie was not comfortable. Mo stood back and just ignored Rookie. We chatted a bit as Mo stepped closer and closer to me. Rookie was calm as Mo never acknowledged him. Mo put his hand out for the leash and I freaked out a little, but I handed over the leash. Mo walked away with Rookie. He gave Rookie all the basic commands and Rookie listened. At this point Vic arrived. Rookie was a little bothered at first but quickly calmed down. Mo and Vic both said Rookie was a good, well-trained dog. They said he was not vicious, but he was nervous. They said my fear was a large part of the problem. I completely agreed with them. It was then that my training and Rookie’s socialization began. We have been going to Dog over Breed for about 10 months. We do daycare and overnight boarding. In that time, Rookie has become more comfortable around other dogs and people. We can now have company over and I have been to Hawaii twice. Mo and Vic have taught me so much. The most important lesson they have taught me is that Rookie will never be a mellow, easygoing dog. He is who he is and that is okay. It is okay to not bring him around everyone that comes into my house. It is okay if he is uncomfortable to put him in his crate. It is okay to trust myself with Rookie. Dog Over Breed gave me back my life. Mo and Vic and Chris are phenomenal with Rookie. They are good and what they do and I feel fortunate to have found them.

Dog Over Breed has been with us since we first got Brooklyn. It’s been almost 5 years and they treat her like she is their own. They’ve done an amazing job with her socializing and dog training, and we are lucky we found them when we did! Brooklyn gets happy every time she sees them. For anyone needing assistance with their dog, I highly recommend Dog Over Breed!

Our granddog needed to be de matted and she received the best care and came out looking fabulous. It was a huge job and the owners gave Dakota breaks throughout the process.

Great group of dog experts. These guys understand how the dogs think, what motivates them, and how to change their behavior. My cattle dog mix is very much a 1-person dog, but he loves his pals at Dog Over Breed and is better behaved with them. As is often the case, it’s been my inconsistencies as the pet owner that my dog was taking advantage of and getting confused by, so these guys also helped to “train” me on what my pup expects/needs to be his best self. They have supported us with walks, which are more than the typical walk around the block for 30 min you often get. They pick up and drop off the dogs and it turns out to be a few hour adventure for them. Doggie daycare is well managed at their facility as is grooming (bath, nails, defur, brushing, etc.). Communications and timeliness are spot on. Thanks guys!

Dog over breed has been an absolute blessing to us! When we first moved to the area I spent months looking for a reputable dog trainer and dog sitting service for our reactive pitbull. After our first meeting, we knew we finally found someone that we could trust to help us. Mohit and his team not only helped our dog live up to his potential but helped us become better dog owners! Our dog can now walk calmly on a leash without reacting to others, he is able to socialize with other dogs in a friendly way and we are no longer anxious taking him on walks. Dog over Breed is the only place we trust to board our dog. When I tell our dog we are going to Uncle Mohit’s he gets the zoomies and waits at the front door ready to go. Thank you guys for everything! I highly recommend them! You will not regret it!

Amazing people who do a great job taking care of their puppy guests!

Swell guy and good neighbor

Juneau and I completely loved the Happy Go Luck Pet Care pack walks and awesome service and love from Lisa. Juneau would race to the door when she heard Lisa coming in and start jumping up and down and rapid tail wagging. Such a lovely team and service plus awesome four leg companions.

Lisa and Paula picked up and walked our Brittany Lady for about 4 years until they relocated recently. I can’t say enough good things. They are so trustworthy, communicative, and kind. Lady would run out the dog door when she heard them with such excitement for her walk ahead. Lisa and Paula always sent the most wonderful photos and videos after the walk. I always knew that they genuinely loved our dog and would always look out for her. They took Lady to so many amazing hikes and trails. I know that Lady became very attached to them and misses them very much.

Without hesitation, I gave Paula and Lisa at Happy Go Lucky Pet Care 5 stars! We had them take our dog, Milo, on walks most days a week for about 2 years. I loved how each walk Milo would literally run the hillside with his friends and Paula would send me videos/pics each walk so I felt connected with where he was at that day. He had the most incredible adventures and was exhausted afterwards which was comforting to know as we both work full-time. They are reliable, flexible and truly go above and beyond to support a beloved family member! I enthusiastically recommend them!

I've been postponing this review for years now because no amount of words can give my gratitude to these two amazing women and what they do for our dog everyday :) this is not a traditional doggie daycare experience. Paula and Lisa put their soul and sweat into ensuring our dogs have the best time with them. When I moved to the suburbs and had a newborn, my biggest worry was that I would never be able to give my dog the attention and energy outlet he needed. Paula gives him the best experience(for the last 2.5yrs or so) with off leash hikes along with the training/reinforcing needed on recall, impulse control, protection against foxtails and rattlesnakes. This is not a business that lets their dogs run crazy in a gated park, they put in a lot of effort to take the dogs on a mentally and physically stimulating hike and our pups come back home satisfied, and well exercised. In this busy and tough phase of life, I can safely say Happy Go Lucky has become an extension of our family.

Lisa is the best dog walker! Our golden retriever always comes home tired and happy. She takes the cutest photos of the dogs on their hikes and leaves thoughtful notes about their adventures for the day. She is incredibly reliable and thoughtful. I highly recommend Lisa!

We have been using Happy Go Lucky Pet Care's dog walking services for almost 2 years and couldn't be happier. Paula is extremely reliable and my dog LOVES his walks. He is already at the door ready to race out before she even rings the bell. I love the fact that they go with other dogs, as they try and put your dog with others that will get along, as my dog loves seeing his buddies. They let them off leash and go to the open spaces so that he can get lots of running around time. My dog has lots of energy and acts up if he doesn't get out, so having him come home happy and tired is great. They also switch it up for variety and know where to go based on the weather. After each walk, they always send the greatest pics, videos and an update of the walk. We are so happy we found them!

I am so incredibly grateful for the love and care of Happy Go Lucky Pet Care. My dog absolutely LOVES his daily pack hikes!!!! The socialization and exercise cannot be replaced. I am confident in Paula's care of my puppy. She loves the dogs and is soooooo good with them. She provides advice and training tips to me as well and sends me videos and photos of each hike. There's something special about seeing your dog so happy! I was cursed by an injury that led me to search for a day hiker for my puppy because I could not offer that type of exercise for him. But even when I recover some day, I will continue to put my trust in Happy Go Lucky Pet Care to provide fun, stimulation and daily exercise for my dog. I am so fortunate to have been referred to Paula & Lisa @ Happy Go Lucky Pet Care.

Happy Go Lucky Pet Care offers professional group dog walking in Walnut Creek, CA. This includes on and off leash walks/adventure hikes. Lisa and Paula provide daily updates of their outing with adorable pictures/videos to share how much fun the doggies have. This always makes my day seeing my dog and her friends having the time of their lives! The doggies also enjoy fresh water and treats during their daily adventures. The socialization, mental stimulation, exercise, fun, and love that my labradoodle, Malia, receives daily for the past 5 years has been invaluable. I always have peace of mind that she is well taken care of, and I never worry about her while I’m at work. Lisa and Paula are extremely knowledgeable about dog behaviors and use positive reinforcement in their training to ensure the dog’s safety is a top priority during their adventure walks/hikes. They genuinely love their doggie groups, and have always nurtured Malia as if she truly was their own. Malia absolutely LOVES Paula and Lisa! In addition to their exceptional care they provide, Lisa and Paula are very reliable, trustworthy, conscientious, compassionate, and provide the best customer service to their clients with great communication and timely responses. I am extremely grateful for their extraordinary care of my labradoodle throughout the years, and I highly recommend their service as the absolute BEST in Walnut Creek!!

I was nervous when I moved to Walnut Creek because I had to find a new dog walker for my dog, Cooper. I am SO glad I went with Happy Go Lucky Pet Care because Paula & Lisa have exceeded all of my expectations with their care for him. They are reliable, caring, and just exceptional at what they do. They treat my dog like he is their own, & I am totally at ease when he is under their care. I get notes about his day, really cute pictures of him having the time of his life, and they have even been able to help out last minute in a pinch, which I appreciate immensely. I couldn't recommend them more!!!

If I could give 100 stars to Lisa I would!!! Lisa has been taking care of my dogs for at least 13 years. And during all that time, she has always been caring, responsible, professional, and at times, my savior when I desperately needed help with my dogs! I have to also give a shout out to Paula as well who also pitches in now and then to help out when needed. You can't go wrong with Lisa or Paula. I trust them completely!

Molly and her team are wonderful, reliable, and experienced. Not only did my pup have a great time, but I got daily updates with tons of pictures. The Doggie Llama team does boarding, training, and dog walking right. When your pet is left with them you can rest assured that your pet is receiving quality care tailored to their needs and comfort. Their science-based approach to training and care sets them apart from the industry standard and sets my mind at ease knowing that my pet is receiving the highest quality of care.

EDIT: We are coming up on our five year anniversary being with Doggy Lama! Wow time has flown. We do have two new walkers that tag team, Joe (who is our primary walker) and Vero (who provides backup), but all the previous statements in my review are still valid. Joe and Vero are always communicative, respectful, and Warren can't wait to go on adventures with him and his pack. You can tell how much they each love and appreciate their dogs. ---- Our boy Warren, a border collie mix, LOVES his time with Kristen & Michael's packs. They're some of the most exceptional and trustworthy dog walkers we've had. Warren will wait up by the window for Kristen or Michael to come every morning - tail waggin a million miles an hour and whimpering from excitement. It makes me happy to see Warren get to play out on the trails, learn new skills, and socialize with his pals every day. Finding a trustworthy and professional dog walker is not easy. But Molly runs a tight ship, and the team she leads at Doggy Lama shows just how much she cares for and loves animals. If you're looking for pet care that exceeds the standard - I'd highly recommend you reach out to Doggy Lama.

Vanessa is pure gold. She has been walking my sweet husky-pit mix Margaux since she was a year old and forged an incredible bond not only with my pup, but with our whole family. Vanessa comes with heart, soul & leash - in that order. Vanessa adores her canine charges and they feel it. She is also a gifted photographer and I look forward to her pix every time Margaux goes out with her. She has my complete trust and gratitude. Margaux agrees!

I have worked with many dog walkers, dog trainers, and pet care professionals in the past. Doggy Lama Pet Care is a business with a different set of principles. They put positive reinforcement and employee training before profits and scale. A dog's physical and emotional health will always be Doggy Lama Pet Care's top priority. I was fortunate to work with the owner Molly and her dedicated team of employees. Every member of the staff was an absolute professional. I found the team to be incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about dogs. I have two rescue dogs that have their own cute little complexities. I am incredibly confident that any member of Doggy Lama Pet Care's team could properly care for my dogs and exceed my own expectations. I would highly recommend them for both private dog walking and group dog walking services. The team is especially qualified even if you have rescue dogs with complicated or unknown backgrounds.

Doggy Lama is my vote for the best small business in the Bay Area. This is not hyperbole! They are reliable, transparent, informative, and caring. We feel so comfortable with them, and often lean on their guidance and advice for taking care of our dog Rory. Our walker Jeysi feels like a member of the family. Every weekday she reliably arrives at our home, Rory runs to greet her, and off they goes with a pack of 5-7 dogs on a beautiful East Bay trail. A few hours later Rory comes home happy and tired. And then Jeysi sends us a written summary along with beautiful photos and videos from the day. It seems like such a fun pack. We're so, so grateful for Jeysi. Attaching just one pic here. But I have about 8,000,000 others that are equally frame worthy!

I absolutely love Doggy Lama Pet Care!. My dog walker, Sophie, is the best!. Always let's me know when she is arriving and coming home with my 🐶, Grace. Sends pictures of her hiking adventures. 100% Great Review! …

Molly and her team at Doggy Lama are the best! Our dog Toby always returns from his off-leash walks with Jordan having had lots of fun with his pack buds and tuckered out. It’s been a huge relief to know Toby is getting the exercise and stimulation he needs, especially during the work week when we can’t provide that for him to this level. This team is also amazing at communication, from day-of logistics to general awareness of seasonal considerations on the trail.

My dog loves Doggy Lama! She cannot wait for them to pick her up and is always exhausted and happy when they bring her home. She has totally bonded with Vanessa and Merrigold. I appreciate their communication and professionalism. and the photos.

Everyone at Doggy Lama has been so good to my pup, Rosie, since I adopted her over a year ago. Rosie has arthritis so Dorothy takes her to the park to sniff about at her own pace or just lay in the sun. It's clear that she loves her time with Dorothy because she always comes home with a huge smile on her face! Kendrae is super communicative and responsive around scheduling, too. Highly recommended!!

Kasper and I we both LOVE Doggy Lama; obviously for different reasons - Kasper loves the walks, treats and keeping his brain working while practicing recall on every walk. I love it that the Doggy Lama team is super reliable and feels like extended family. After I broke my foot they were able to immediately schedule Kasper for walks every day so I was able to rest. Thank you Team!

Our experience with Elke was one of the worst. She never read the care sheet that I had carefully typed up (4 pages long) with all the feeding, care instructions for our 2 indoor cats and 1 dog. She made a decision to leave the 1 cat out, even though this cat was to be put in a guest bedroom ("his room") as he is an escape artist every time you leave the house and at night. So on the day I were to return on my late flight and since my flight was going to be late, I had someone come into let my dog out, needless to say, my 1 cat escaped out the sliding door and to outside since Elke decided to leave him out and not put my cat in his room when she had left that day. I came home late and went to bed. Until the next morning, I didn't realize my cat missing and fortunately I was able to find him since he was stuck in our neighbor's roof. I was able to get him but Elke's reaction was not of apology and how her decision triggered the events of my cat escaping but blaming others. Most unprofessional pet sitter I have dealt with ever! Needless to say, I would NOT recommend her.

Perfect

Jeremy managed to get us set up with a great dog walker at very short notice. We are working with Eric--he's gregarious and clearly into dogs and his job. We interviewed him with our dog and were immediately at ease. We have an ever changing schedule and Jeremy and Eric have been able to accommodate that with no problems. THANK YOU Red Rover!

Our dog has been getting walks from Red Rover for almost 4 years. We have also boarded her with them. We couldn't be happier with their services and customer service. Riley loves her walks and comes back a happy and tired dog. I really don't know how we would function without them.

We love Red Rover! Jeremy has always been amazing with our dogs and has really put my mind at ease as a worried dog mama whenever we’ve gone out of town. If I could rate more than five stars, I would!

Red rover has been taking our dogs on adventures for over 5 years. Jeremy and his team are great. We highly recommend their services. Lance and Laurie Page

I’m so glad to have found trustworthy, honest, friendly & truly caring walkers to take care of Ned. As a first-time rescue owner, Ned was adopted and lived with two other dogs for two years. I recently moved to the area on my own with this sweet dog and as an anxious dog parent, I do worry about him without his dog mates. Dave is amazing with Ned and goes beyond his dog walking service. Once on a very hot day in Oakland, Dave ensured Ned did not overheat and turned on the fan for him. Including checking on his water bowl. This was not our first dog walker - I had a few before who did not have the same level of professionalism and general care for my Ned. I am so grateful for Jeremy and Dave.

We really appreciate the dog walking services of Red Rover! Our dog receives twice weekly walks rain or shine and he loves it! Thanks for the great care and service Red Rover!

I've been a client for many years and the Red Rover team is part of our family. Service is excellent and I trust them to love and care for my dog as if it were their own.

We go to work knowing our little apartment dwelling dog is kept safe and stimulated with Red Rover! Shim loves his trail adventures. :)

I love Red Rover! My dogs are always happy and my cats are taken care of consistently and well.

Red Rover is fantastic. They love dogs and dogs love them! Reasonable rates and reliable walks and boarding
