East Bay Paws Day Care & Boarding

This place almost ruined my trip. They don’t answer phones or return messages. I filled out the entire form and returned it way before I planned to arrive. I get to the frightening location and immediately was terrified of leaving my dog at this house. I knock on the door and they tell me they can’t take her and that «I told her to call you» umm… I drove all the way up from Southern California and was running late for a yacht I was spending the weekend on. THANK GOD FOR PUP TOWN in San Leandro who did such an amazing last minute job. I didn’t even want to walk up to the door let alone leave my precious puppy there.

When I go out of town, East Bay Paws takes care of my animals. My doberman stays at their home, where they treat him like family with walks, play time and attention. Since cats do better in their own home, Christina comes to the house, feeds and plays with my cat every day. No matter where I go, they keep me connected to my pets with brief updates, photos and videos. Highly recommended!

I made last-​minute plans to take a road trip and desperately needed a cat sitter. I contacted several cat sitting services, but they were booked up already, not taking on any new clients, or I was outside their service area. Then I came across East Bay Paws, which, in addition to boarding dogs, provides daily care to cats in clients’ homes at a reasonable price.
I contacted them expecting to be turned down and understandably so because of the very short notice, but I heard back from them almost immediately with good news. Business owners Christina and Leena came to my house the next day for a «meet-​and-​greet» visit in between client visits to meet me and my cat.
While I was away for four days, Christina came by daily to check in on my cat, feed him, clean out his litter box, give him much-​need TLC as well as pick-​up the mail. They will also put out the trash (if needed), turn lights on and off so it appears someone is in the house, pick up newspapers in front of your house, water house plants, etc., at no extra charge. She provided me with text message updates and pictures [
]. On my return, it was evident my cat had been well cared for.
I am very pleased with the attentive, quality and dependable care provided to my cat, the business owners’ availability on short notice to take on a new client, reasonable charges for their services, and I highly recommend East Bay Paws to anyone needing a pet sitting/​boarding service. I will use them again.

Christina has watched our four kitties on several occasions and she is absolutely fantastic. She is always very accommodating and comes to the house like clockwork. Not only does she feed them, but she also takes extra care to make sure our eldest takes her medication daily. We have a camera system with which we monitor the house, and she even moves the camera around at meal times so that we can watch each of them happily munching away. She texts me pictures and updates me daily so I can rest assured that my babies are in good hands. When one of the cats knocked over a plant pot, she even cleaned up the whole mess and vacuumed it all up! She also brings in our mail and newspapers so that it is not obvious that we are away. Once, when we ran out of Pill Pockets for our kitty’s medication, she even went to the store and picked them up herself! Not only does she care for our kitties like they’re her own, but she goes above and beyond what any of our previous kitty sitters did. I couldn’t recommend her more!

I will am going out of town this weekend and again I will be leaving my babies here for the third time. I cannot praise East Bay Paws enough. They update me on what my babies are doing, I receive pictures, texts, calls etc…
Julio & Skoshi are returned clean and happy.

I was extremely pleased with the service for both my dog and cat. My dog was boarded on site at East Bay Paws and my cat was given daily care at my house! This was all done at a great price and with A LOT OF LOVE!
I think my husband had more anxiety than our pets, but Christina assured us that both would be fine under her care. And she was right. When we returned home, our dog was her normal bubbly self, and our cat was his normal lazy self!
My husband and I travel a lot and care for our pets while we are gone has always been a source of anxiety for both of us as family and friends don’t always have the time. I now feel like I have a wonderful, reliable place to take care of our pets.
Like the other reviewers mentioned, the best ‘perk’ of the service was the email updates with photos that showed my pets were HAPPY!
