Dog Boarding in Atherton

Took great care of our dog and he loved his stay! Would be totally happy to use again!

Chris is the greatest! He is such a warm, caring, and attentive sitter, and he takes special care to make sure he understands your pet's needs. Chris's updates, complete with fantastic pictures, gave my wife and me peace of mind and joy while we were away. Our pup had a blast staying with Chris and is looking forward to more visits!

We were nervous boarding our pup for the first time but Guillermo and Siobhan made us all feel right at ease. We came home to a happy and relaxed dog and will definitely book again.

My dog Pascal seemed very comfortable with Chelsea. When I picked him up he was excited to see me, but tried to follow Chelsea back inside for a longer visit. Chelsea also sent pictures and was very responsive to messages, which made me feel more comfortable.

Caro is the best! She took care of Kevin considering the need of his surgery and medicines. She sent every hour reports and confirmation of prescriptions applied to Kevin. She was really patient and very communicative, all the time I knew that he was in really good hands. Definitely we'll come back. Thank you Caro!

Tillana is a wonderful sitter. My very attached family dog is usually not willing to go with others but is always happy to see Tillana. It which gives me total relief and peace of mind when going on a trip. She sends loads of pictures which my kids love to get and see how happy their dog is on her dog vacation playing with other dogs. Our favorite pictures are when she does an outing to the beach which my dog absolutely goes bananas getting to play on a beach. All guilt of going on trip is relieved seeing how much fun she is having without us.

Karla was fantastic! She was able to accommodate me at the last minute when I had forgotten to plan overnight care for my pup. She sent me multiple updates with cute pictures. When I got my pup back, he was happy and EXHAUSTED from all the fun. Will definitely have him stay with Karla again in the future for both doggie daycare and boarding!

Margaret is a game-changer for dogs with special needs, like my Eliza. Eliza is a shelter dog who had a rough start in life, resulting in her being reactive and struggling with severe anxiety. Most boarders (especially name-brand, commercial doggy hotels) can't handle her challenges. It had gotten to the point where I was afraid I'd never travel again, because I didn't have a boarding solution for Eliza that I felt comfortable with. Luckily, I crossed paths with Margaret during a vaccine clinic in Palo Alto. Margaret not only handled my puppers challenges- she helped Eliza thrive!! Margaret is a professional dog trainer with extensive behavioral expertise. She has real experience working with reactive and fearful dogs. She treats every dog like her own and sends regular photo and video updates throughout the stay. Margaret understood Eliza's triggers immediately. She created a safe environment where Eliza could relax. Eliza had zero anxiety episodes during her entire stay. That's remarkable for my girl! My typically stressed dog came home calm and well-behaved. Margaret even worked on her training while I was away. tldr; Finding quality care for special needs dogs is nearly impossible in the Bay Area. Margaret makes it easy. I finally found someone I trust completely with Eliza's care! Book with confidence! Your dog will be in expert hands!!

Always a life saver even after an unexpected flight delay. Thank you Tracy! I always appreciate your help and kindness. And I know Jolene is in good hands

Ann took great care of our little guy. She is knowledgeable and has experience caring for animals! We definitely felt comfortable leaving Gus in her care. Everything went smoothly and Gus was happy when we picked him up at the end of his boarding.

Great communication throughout our dog’s stay! I could really tell Alexa wants to make sure all the dogs have the best time. Would highly recommend

Micaela is such a fantastic sitter! We got photos every day and Comet just looked so happy. He seemed so at home at Micaela’s. She is very responsive and always quick to answer any questions. Such a great experience!

Ruo and her family were lovely and truly amazing. My dog bonded really well with them and they took excellent care of her with frequent and comprehensive updates & photos. Would happily leave my dog with her in future and be less worried. My dog was treated as a family member and they gave her space to settle in as well.

Laura watched our dog, Snickers, for 2 weeks, and she was wonderful from start to finish. Meeting her prior to our vacation, it was immediately clear that Laura was not only an expert in pet care, but also a very warm and friendly person. She made the decision to leave our dog in her care very easy. During our trip, Laura kept us updated/delighted with daily pictures and notes that showed that Snickers was very much enjoying himself in a very engaging environment. Our travels were made so much easier knowing/seeing what a great time he was having. We can't recommend Laura enough -> your dog will be in expert and caring hands. You really can't ask for more in a person/per care giver.

Trust worthy, friendly, keeps in touch about how doggie is doing, great dog handler. If I ever need a dog sitter in SF again, I'll definitely contact Mario.
