Dog Sitters in Richmond, CA

We've known Stacey at All My Love Pet Care for many years and the name of her business says it all. Use Stacey for dog walks, daily visits, or pet sitting, and your pet will receive lots of attention and loving care. Stacey is reliable and professional. She's on time and we have always felt our dogs were in good hands. We highly recommend her!

Absolutely recommend Mau House Cat Hotel! Our senior cat, Alice, stayed there for a week, and we couldn’t have been happier with the care she received. The owner stayed in constant communication, sending us pictures and updates to ensure Alice was comfortable throughout her stay. It’s clear that everyone at Mau House adores cats and goes above and beyond to provide the best possible care. We’re extremely grateful for this wonderful experience and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a safe, loving place for their cat.

I had a very good experience here. I knew the cats were very well taken care of. They were nice enough to share some photos while we were away. Both Kona and Zelly didn't really want to leave, haha. The price is reasonable. A lot better than a lot of cat hotels in the area. It was nice to know that our kitties were with people who love animals and they had a good time there. All in all, I would recommend it and return.

Absolutely love this place! We boarded our car there for the first time a while ago and it was amazing. They treated her so well! Also, the rooms are super roomy! Staff is kind and very responsive. Looking forward to boarding with them again.

I can't say enough good things about Mau House. The owner Julie is responsive, compassionate, and clearly very experienced with cats. Lizzy the cat had lost her human, and we needed to board her until we could find her a new home. She had been through a lot, but came to feel safe and comfortable at Mau house after the most difficult of circumstances. Julie treated her like family, and sent us pictures to reassure us that the cat was adjusting ok. At one point, Julie had some concerns about Lizzy's health, and she offered to take her to the vet for a very fair hourly rate, if we were unable to. We were concerned about how to find kitty a new home. As it turned out, Julie and Lizzy bonded to the point that Lizzy got adopted as the Mau House mascot. Mau House really does love cats! The whole experience couldn't have been any better. I've been volunteering in animal welfare for many years, and the care Lizzy got is as good as it gets.

We boarded two cats here for the first time. It was important for us to find a secure and safe facility as one of our cats is an escape artist. We were able to tour the place beforehand. The place is clean, has lots of natural light, and the rooms are well appointed. We were happy with the experience and will likely book at Mau House again in the future 🐱.

This was my first time having to board my cats so I was more nervous than anything and worried about finding a caring & clean place for my babies. Last minute Julie was able to accommodate my two cats for the days I needed. The room was spacious for the both of them to board together. I really liked that it was cats only. One of my cats isn't keen on dogs so it made me feel better she wouldn't have to smell dog scent or hear barking that would make her anxious or uncomfortable. Julie is very kind and you can tell she just loves cats and animals in general. She spoiled my kitties and I came back to them healthy, clean and happy! I will definitely be using Mau House Cat Hotel again if I ever need my cats to be cared for while I travel. Great price, great service, great space!

This place is amazing! If you need to board your cats I highly, highly recommend this place! In the past we had a neighbor come by to feed our cats, but noticed they would do things like pee on our bed as what I assume was a sign of stress that we were gone. At Mau house Julie sent photos and updates daily reassuring me my babies were in good hands. The cats have actual room with windows to hang out in and she let's them roam around the facility if they are interested. Our cats got great care and plenty of love. Totally recommend if you need cat boarding!

I have three bonded, shy cats and have never boarded them before because of my concerns about them being too shy and nervous to deal with a boarding situation. What a relief to find Julie and Mau House. Julie let me chose a room for the cats-and it was a room-no small kennel for them- but a large, bright, sunny room with windows. She let me bring their cat tree and anything else that would make them feel comfortable, blankets and beds from home. The building is clean, quiet, calm and smells good! Julie was great at giving up dates when we were away and took pictures as well. The girls did fine while we were away, no one lost weight or spent the whole time hiding. They got plenty of attention and love. I highly recommend Mau House to anyone looking to board their cats while they are away.

This wonderful home away from home for our cats is a Godsend. Cats literally get their own "hotel" room. There are climbers and windows, with just enough privacy for them and enough visibility to be monitored. Julie fed my senior cat Fiona a warm water mixture of her food and she has not vomited since. I was told by a vet to add chicken broth which obviously was causing her stomach problems and vomiting. Thank you Julie...sometimes the simple things are the best solutions. Fiona and I are grateful for your many years of experience! Esther and Fiona

I got my cat about a year ago and in the past when I was away, I would use a pet sitter. My cat showed a lot of anxiety with me being gone, even though she was remaining in her own space, so I wanted to try something different. I decided to look into cat boarding. The only places I liked were in SF, which is far and expensive. At one of the SF boarding facilities, they mentioned Mau House had recently opened and maybe I should check it out since it's closer to me. I was impressed by the sizes of the rooms and the natural lighting. Some facilities have a lot of built-in bells and whistles like cameras, scratchers, or fancy cat trees (you can purchase a scratcher and some other things for a fee). Mau House does not have that, but they do allow you to bring anything you want of your own, which is nice because you can bring your scent as well as your cat's scent into the place. I think the most important thing for me was the fact Julie is clearly a cat person and is understanding. My cat took some time to adjust and I was worried about her getting the attention she needed to get comfortable. While my cat was never 100% at home, Julie still remained understanding and tried to keep her happy. The only thing I would change is maybe more regular updates because there isn't a built-in camera I can just check on my own. Julie was quick to provide when I reached out and asked though.

Emily of Happi Dogs is a god send... Thankfully we found Emily before a big holiday. As things didn’t work out with our former kennel. Now, Polar & Fanta cannot get enough of Emily’s services. We’ve also established an ongoing relationship & feel part of the pack. Emily is very efficient, communicative, and caring. All the qualities you want in an “animal nanny”. We look forward to more memories created with Emily of Happi Dogs. We’re so very satisfied & excited to spread the good word. Yay!?!?!?

Hello everyone. I have four Guinea Pigs that are very dear to me. I would like to thank Emily for being reliable and sweet with my pets while I was away. She followed my instructions correctly and always kept me posted. She did an excellent job.The result was that when I got back home, I found my guinea pigs like I was hoping: happy, properly fed and their cages were clean. I highly recommend Happi Dogs.

Emily and Manish have been great! I was kind reluctant to hire someone off line for dog walking, but Emily and her husband Manish came over to our home for a free consultation and made us feel at ease with their calm demeanor and kind words. The services are also priced well and they are reliable. Now, I love arriving home after work because our dogs are calmer and have had some outdoor time. I highly recommend their dog walking services!!

Professional, caring, and absolutely wonderful with our pup!

They have taken care of both my dogs and it’s been a pleasure. The dogs love the hikes, love love and the meditation hour and movie night. Maya and her team are A +

Dog's True Dream is the second best decision we have ever made, first was adopting our sweet Pow Pow! Maya and her team are soooo good with our pup. It's been a couple months now and our Pow Pow is already bonded with her. Not only does she offer the best in class daycare and dog boarding, but she also takes the time to work with our dog on small behavioral things!!! She continues to impress us. Most importantly when we get Pow Pow back at the end of the day- he is calm, cuddly, and EXHAUSTED! Maya is committed to her dogs and treats them like family, and even does fun events like a Doggy Halloween Party. THANK YOU DOGS TRUE DREAM!

We are so grateful to have discovered Puff and Puff! Catherine is warm, kind, flexible, and extremely attentive to all the dogs’ needs. Our puppy loves going to Puff and Puff so much, she doesn’t want to leave. I completely trust Puff and Puff and love that our dog comes home exhausted and happy from playing all day with dogs of all sizes and ages. Her experience at Puff and Puff has made all the difference for positive socialization. When you choose Puff and Puff, you get a personal experience with photos, videos, and updates. We love Catherine and all her pups! If we could give her 10 stars, we would! Thank you Catherine!!

Catherine has taken care of our extremely high energy Australian Terrier puppy for both day care and extended overnights. Our puppy gets tons of play in a safe and caring environment with only a handful of dogs staying with her at any given time. Catherine sends regular updates with a big bonus of very cute pictures and videos. The dogs get regular walks on the beautiful Bay Trail and trips to the beach. Our puppy always comes back happy and content.

Puff & Puff boarded my cantankerous 13 year old chihuahua for 3 weeks. She has a few health issues and couldn't travel internationally with me. I was very nervous about leaving her in a boarding situation. She had difficulty in boarding elsewhere in the past. I liked that Catherine insisted on a meet and greet before agreeing to take her in. I was instantly surprised by how calm and clean the environment is. My little dog was nervous to greet the few other dogs but didn't go into aggressive mode, as usual. Puff & Puff always responded timely to my inquiries before and during my chihuahua's stay. Catherine sent pictures and videos of my girl enjoying herself. That relieved my anxiety tremendously. My dog was happy and healthy when I got her back. I highly recommend this service and would feel good about using Puff & Puff again.

Catherine and her husband were fantastic with our dog Bogey. He stayed there for almost 3 weeks. Bogey took a few days to adjust but Catherine was very patient with him and kept us well informed with texts and photos of his progress. Bogey had a very good experience and we would definitely use her service again.

I visited 4 home boarding services before deciding on Puff and Puff, and i’m so glad I did!! Catherine and her husband did an amazing job watching my small dog...to the point where my little one didn’t want to leave! My dog is very particular and hates everyone (and most dogs) but she loveeed staying here. She became really close to their friendly small dog, Bailey. The two were practically inseparable. I honestly felt really bad picking my dog up because I knew she was having such a good time. I also loved getting the picture and video updates of my dog playing and having a blast. I will DEFINITELY be using them again. So glad I found her!

We were very worried about leaving our Puggle for 2 1/2 weeks… He is 15 with what we call “separation anxiety”. He really gave these guys a run for their money 🥴 during the first few days, but they persevered and won his heart! We were so grateful and relieved and now we’re already planning our next trip! 💯👏🏻💗 …

Jenny was a lifesaver when we were re-homing an elderly family member’s dog. We worked with Jenny 5 days/week and she helped us socialize Cashew with new humans and other dogs. We always looked forward to her picking up and dropping off Cashew. She clearly cares a lot about animals and is very responsible with them. It helps if you have a bit of flexibility around timing, as Jenny’s exact schedule can vary given the daily varying needs of clients and pets.

Jenny is so caring and great with animals. She regularly walked our dog bread, and easily accommodated bread’s reactivity with other dogs. I felt like she cared for bread like she was her own dog. Jenny also stayed with bread on numerous occasions. She always left our home cleaner than she found it, and would update us regularly with pictures. Jenny has such a way with animals. I would not hesitate to recommend her. It can be hard to find a person who understands how important your pet is and wants to care for them like you do. Jenny is that person. I wish we could take her with us when we move across country!

Jenny is an amazing cat sitter! We got two kittens in the fall of 2020 so they have grown up to be pandemic hermits. She was very patient in coaxing them to come out and soon enough they were sitting in her lap. Their older sister adores Jenny as well. She was very thorough in her initial interview and is great with communication in scheduling and while we are out of town. She always sends lots of cute photos and gives really good updates. Couldn't recommend her more highly.

Jenny is kind, reliable, and wonderful with our husky. She truly cares about him. We get photos and updates from walks... And she spoils him rotten - got him lots of toys at Christmas time. If you're looking for a pet sitter, look no further. 🙂 …

Jenny has been walking our dog Oliver a few times a week for several months now, and we could not be happier. She is very reliable, rain or shine, and, most importantly, seems to genuinely love working with our dog. She has a huge heart for animals! Our dog loves his walks, and Jenny takes a burden off our shoulders, helping him to get the exercise that he needs. Thank you, Jenny!

My Hugo adored Jenny - he was always so excited to see her. She was great to work with for me as well and always did her best to help out, even with last minute requests. She was great with communication and sent many sweet videos of their games off fetch or playing at the beach or park. I was so sad when we moved away from her area and Hugo would no longer have the outlet of his walks and play sessions with Jenny.

Jenny is very good with animals and super compassionate. She's taken great care of our beloved cats Nefertiti and Georges. She was very kind and sympathetic when Georges passed away at 18 years. We don't worry when Jenny's at the helm. ☺️

Jenny has been taking my high-energy husky/pit mix on “pack adventures” for 5 months now. Nala LOVES Jenny, and I know the adoration is reciprocated. I have especially appreciated Jenny’s creative problem solving and ability to adjust when my pup got a little too rambunctious with another pack member. She makes return to work much less stressful!

You can always tell that your dog is in good hands by the way they react! Halo is always so excited to see Jenny when she arrives! She has been such a huge help in my life...I highly recommend her!

Over the three years we’ve used Jenny from puppy love we found her to be reliable punctual and a pleasure to work with. Our dog adores her and we would never use anyone other than Jenny from puppy love. Besides our dog wouldn’t let us

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

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!

A big, big thank you to the Metro Dog team! They provide attentive and loving care for dogs - I've used their day care and overnight services since 2021, and my dog (Enzo) absolutely loves it and everyone who works there. The MD center is clean, thoughtfully organized and run, and a place where Enzo feels safe and has a ton of fun.

Metro Dog is amazing. Everyone who works there is extremely knowledgeable and professional. They know exactly how to work with different dogs to ensure safe and fun playtime. Donna always gets so excited to go there and is exhausted after a fun day of play

My dog Josie loves Metro Dog. Their staff are kind and patient with her, and she's always excited to see them on her daycare days. They have early and late drop-offs, which accommodate my busy schedule. They also have been educating me on how to better care for my dog, from grooming to behavioral insights. I highly recommend them to all.

Metro Dog has been the perfect boarding option for my dog, Willow. She has some anxiety but does better when she is around other dogs while we are away. The staff at Metro Dog were incredibly thoughtful and intentional about assessing Willow's fit for the social program, and they always centered on what was most responsive to her needs. They guided me through a process to get her ready to be boarded with them, resulting in a successful boarding experience. Whether I have her in daycare or being boarded, I trust Metro Dog and their judgment about what will help her be most successful and comfortable, which keeps my mind at ease.

Amazing staff, very attentive to your dog’s emotional state. During the assessment, they will determine your dog’s ability to interact with other dogs and group him/her appropriately. Socialization is magic for your dog’s public behavior. Would give ten stars if possible.

I can’t say enough good things about MetroDog. They’re so knowledgeable, professional, and organized. It’s clear how much thought and effort they put into making this more than a place for your dog to stay but a place for their social development. My pup can get intimidated by new dogs, but she LOVES going to MetroDog probably because she feels safe there. She’s also become so much more comfortable in groups of dogs since she started attending daycare regularly. The staff are all amazing, the owner is great. So grateful to have MetroDog :)

The team at Metro Dog are amazing. They have been a part of our family for over 8 years. Metro Dog helps us with private boarding since our girl Kani needs special care. She's so loving and gentle to us but is not a fan of other dogs. The Metro Dog staff have taken wonderful care of Kani. She is always happy when we pick her up. It's great to having grooming services completed before we pick her up too. Thanks Metro Dog!

We've been part of the MetroDog family with our dog Xavi for over 6 years. They've been a game-changer for us. Whether it's regular daycare or occasional boarding, Xavi's always super excited going in and coming out - all wags all the time! Diane, the owner, is incredible. She shows care for both dogs and owners. The staff is always very friendly. The way they handled the pandemic was top-notch, balancing health concerns and keeping everything smooth. Plus, their selective approach to accepting dogs shows they really care about the right fit, which we think is super important. In a nutshell: MetroDog is a must-try. We think most will end up loving them as much as we do!

I didn’t want to put one star ⭐️ for me to ask questions and get a review . I tried Tuesday to check the facility out because I want to board my dogs 🐕. This young man met me at the door didn’t let me in. Did explain how it’s work. Need to make an appointment online you have to wait until Saturday or Sunday to be able to check it out! I wasn’t impressed ! Why charged $85 per dog? If you have three or four dogs 🐕 they want to stay for three or four Days, figure how much that will cost. It’s just as much as my trip. .I need to make sure that they’re in a safe environment people who does care not standing around and talking, I would like to see the people who is caring and safe. thank you. ... I know there’s poor reviews. I would like to see them.

Wanted to give a big thanks to the staff for taking care of my dog. This place is awesome, my dog has really bad separation anxiety. They were very patient with her and gave her great treatment. Thank you Metro Dog staff.

This is the best daycare in Berkeley. The staff is always so friendly and accommodating. My husband and I work long shifts and we are at ease knowing that Lola has a place to hang out. Thank you Barkmont!

We love Barkmont and so does our little pup! Barkmont staff are incredibly responsive, communicative and flexible when we've experienced emergencies. Big bonus to their location is it's proximity to Berkeley Animal Hospital (right across the street), freeway and street parking for quick drop off and pick up.

Our large chocolate lab spent some quality time at Barkmont. We loved it there. The staff are THE friendlies, love their guests, and are so communicative. Our last time at the Barkmont, our lab was just there for the day this time around. He, unfortunately, was too excited/anxious (and admittedly nearing the end of his life) and his heart and lungs couldn't take the excitement. The staff cared for him in the best way possible while he was a bit in distress and they kept us in the know of his status throughout the day. They told us what their plan of action was until we got there and kindly asked if we wanted anything done differently. The Barkmont and its loving staff....ya can't beat it. Thank you Barkmont for showing Jaxon a good time (several times) and caring for him with so much love while he was in distress. We love you!

Friendly service and great care for your dog or dogs. I really enjoyed the helped from Liliana. Her service was great and she quickly got my dog in the day care the next day safe and sound. Price is good and they offer many different services for your pet. Overall great dog day care!

Update 4/30/24... I was called to fly to Beverly Hills first thing in the morning. I called after hours to set up boarding for Willie and was approved immediately. Shout out to Amanda and Kirk for their steadiness in accomodaring Willie when I travel on business. Another plus, is he has a best friend that's on the same boarding schedule, named Charlie. Every time I drop him off he is super excited to run into the FUN room to play with him, and all the staff talk about how their friendship is so cute. I recommend The Barkmont to everyone I know who has a pet. Forget about wag, rover, and all the other places, Barkmont is the best boarding facility in the bay, hands down. Update 11/23/22... I had a late notice work schedule change on 11/22/22 and needed a place for my dog to stay overnight. With Thanksgiving around the corner, The Barkmont was full and had no available reservations. Shout out to Kirk for making an exception and boarding Willie for me. I picked him up moments ago and he was all wags; I could tell he had an amazing visit at his hoke away from home. 5 stars all the way. I had to get my middle aged dog neutered and spent a week before his surgery looking for a dog sitter or pet hotel to watch him while I was at work. I work 70 hrs per week and couldn't find anyone who could commit that type of time, and furthermore had the ability to take care of a dog post surgery. I tried Rover, Wag, and various dog hotels... set up multiple meet and greets and wasn't happy with the customer service, vibe, ability, availability etc... Finally, the day before Willie's surgery, I found The Barkmont. I called to inquire, and was given an email address for Kirk, the owner. He responded late that night. He genuinely cared about my dogs situation, and put alot of energy into finding a pet sitter to come to my house, but wasn't able to find one. He offered to set me up with a special space onsite, with reliable staff to watch, walk, give meds, and care for my special little guy Willie. Furthermore, this place operates 24/7, amd allowed me to pick up and drop off any time day or night. I noticed Willie was happy every time I picked him up. The greetings I received when I came inside were always pleasant from every staff member, and sensed that everyone who works at The Barkmont feels a special connection with animals... they treated Willie like a member of their pack, and I am forever grateful for the experience they offered. Willie will be allowed to take his cone off tomorrow after his post surgery checkup, and I am excited to make regular reservations in the future so he can play with the happy dogs that stay at the luxurious Barkmont Hotel, Spa, and Day Care on a regular basis when I am at work amd out of town. Big props to Dre, Kirk, Amanda, and the rest of the staff for running the most reputable and capable dog hotel in the bay area. From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU ❤️ 💙 💜 💖 💗 💘

The Barkmont is very accommodating and professional. Never been turned down for same day reservations. I love the employees there. My dog Gou Gou definitely loves them. Can’t wait to get out of the car.

We truly consider the Barkmont part of our dogs family. I am so thankful to have a group we can trust when we go out of town to take care of our dog. She always runs right into the door when we drop her off and comes home exhausted from all the fun she has. They are very communicative about policy changes and we respect their choices they make to keep our dog safe. With the increase in kennel cough this winter we were nervous boarding her but they assured us they were consulting with vets and made decisions to protect our pup. We really like that we can see the dogs playing during the day on the webcam and that they also seem to make good decisions about when to put them in quiet time to nap. Our dog does often come home smelly from all the playing, but we've just started adding on a bath to her reservation and she comes home smelling fresh and ready for a long nap. When we have had issues where our travel plans are delayed they are very accommodating and kind and let us pick up later than we expected to. It's just so much less stress knowing we have this understanding group of amazing people taking care of our dog when we are gone. Truly love the Barkmont and so thankful we found them.

JJ is always awesome in the morning, and I'm the evening someone is happy to tell me how well Ivy did. Great spot for dogs to socialize.

Owners are unprofessional my dog came home terrified and flinches when I go to pet him now. they abuse the dogs there no doubt

My dog Astor LOVES the Barkmont! I began bringing her there at just 4 months old for both daycare and over-night boarding. The facilities are clean and well-maintained. The staff pays close attention during playtime to ensure the safety of all pets. I also love the doggy webcam :) They also have bathing on-site, so after a stay, I get to pick up my Astor tired & clean. Rates are affordable compared to other Bay Area options, and the service is unbeatable!

I highly recommend Travlers Pet Care. They have been walking my dog, Rocky, for the past few years, and the experience has been great. Rocky is an elderly pup and Travlers has been good at ensuring he gets the exercise and attention he needs. Rocky always returns from his walks happy and well-exercised.. They genuinely care about Rocky's well-being. If you're looking for someone trustworthy and dedicated to taking great care of your furry friend, Travlers is the a great choice!

What would we do without Travelers Pet Care!! My girlfriend and I have a10 year old dog with separation anxiety and a chronic illness that requires regular medication. Marisa and Dominique have been top notch in their professionalism and communication, able to accommodate giving his medications. They give us the peace of mind to be able to leave town. Their website/app allows for quick communication and storage of all of the great photos that they take. Attached is one of the great photos they took of Ranger... Like how did they get him to pose like that!!! One of the true gems of the East Bay!

Marisa is reliable and professional. As a new dog owner, I had a lot of nerves. I never have any doubts when my dog is in the care of Marisa’s team. The best part, my dog is IN LOVE with her dog Walker and can’t wait to leave me and go on her walk!!!

We contracted with Travelers Pet Care to administer our sick cat's complex schedule of medications while we were out of town for over a week. Our cat has lymphoma and is on a variety of medicines (some injected, some in pill form as well as subcutaneous fluids) with varying frequency (some daily, some every other day, some three days a week.) We were very anxious about leaving our cat Posey, particularly when she needed care from someone who knew how to administer her medications. We needn't have worried! Dominique came over in advance to go over the spreadsheet of medications we had prepared and to get to know Posey in advance. We scheduled extra time during the first few visits so that they would have more time to bond. We also met with Marisa just before we left and developed equal confidence in her. While we were gone, we would receive daily updates on how things were going with Posey along with a picture so we could gauge her condition for ourselves. We could see that during the course of the week, Posey became more and more comfortable with them and more affectionate. On days when Posey didn't need much in the way of medication, they would stay and give her company for the remaining amount of time scheduled for the visit. When we returned home, it was immediately evident that Posey had benefited from their care. She wasn't anxious about our absence (though happy to see us) and even seems to have gained a little bit of weight. Her comfort level was high because there was no interruption in her medical regimen. I cannot recommend Travelers Pet Care more highly, particularly if you have a pet with special needs. Their fees are very reasonable relative to the care our pet received and the peace of mind they afforded us made it possible to leave Posey in their care in confidence. We are so grateful to them! I highly recommend their services and we will most definitely use them again.

Dominique and Marisa were instrumental in guiding us as first time dog owners. Our “pandemic puppy" was able to socialize and learn to walk off the leash with them. Our dog looks forward to every time they come by to pick him up. We are lucky to have this 5-star service in the East Bay.

I have never had such experience with a pet sitter as professional, thorough, reliable and most importantly as caring the way Marissa and Dominique are. From the meet and greet, they made me feel confident to hire them. The way they would ask questions about your pet making sure their needs are met. They would give me updates everyday on what's going on and and how my pup is doing which gave me peace of mind. I enjoyed my vacation not worrying about what is going on with my dog. If you are looking to find reliable pet caring people in the area, I highly recommend them.

Marissa and team from Travelers Pet Care have offered a consistent and reliable service over the past 3 years of our doggie's life. The are kind, timely and communicative about our weekly doggie walks and very saavy/supportive on other topics related to our pet (ie. referrals on suitable pet boarding, helping out with administering properly medication treatment to our pet, etc.) We continue to recommend Travelers Pet Care to our pet-loving friends and family all around the East Bay!

Marisa has been the cat sitter for my fur babies since May this year. I'm grateful to have found her and Travelers Pet Care. She has been very reliable and she takes good care of my fur babies. There was one time that my senior cat was really sick while I had to leave out of country. She took really good care of her, she took her to the Vet, gave her medicine and also updated me as possibly can. Marisa is awesome!

Marisa and her team are experienced, professional dog walkers! They have taken great care of my multiple pet household, going above and beyond my high expectations. Marisa is a skilled dog handler, an excellent communicator and has built great pet care organization. I highly recommend Travelers Pet Care!

Great service and accommodation for my dog Milo. After a long hour walk, he came back pumped up and extremely proud of himself. Travelers Pet Care delivered!
