Greetings! I’m Samara. I have been working with animals professionally for over two decades. I am a certified trainer & behavior consultant. As a part of the BIPOC and neurodiverse communities, my goal is to share compassion, empathy, and transparency while working with humans and dogs. https://sanghadog.com/

The thought of Courts Canines and Cats started in April 2022. in January 2023 I was laid off from my high tech job and decided to finally open up for business. I grew up with cats, dogs, horses, goats, ducks, birds and more! I have 3 dogs and a rescue cat. 2 of our dogs are Cavalier King Charles' and the other is a Lab/Retriever mix. My lab mix is my daughter's service dog. I went through a wonderful 2 week training where I lived up at Canine Companions in Santa Rosa. I lived, breathed and trained all things related to service dogs. I offer boarding, doggie daycare, dog walking and drop ins for fur babies. I give them a happy safe space with lots of love while you are away.

I started a professional dog walking business in San Francisco, CA in the summer of 1992. I walked dogs and boarded dogs in San Francisco for 27 wonderful years. At the end of 2019, I made the decision to move out of San Francisco and move back to the East Bay, where I was born and raised. In 2020, I moved to beautiful Castro Valley and now I am boarding dogs ( small dogs only ) out of my home. I have a lovely park-like backyard, complete with its own "dog park" (synthetic lawn). I rescued a shelter dog in the middle of the pandemic. He is a 15 pound mixed breed dog named Fonzie. Fonzie gets along great with all dogs. I am licensed, bonded and insured.

Welcome to House of Dogues! 🐾 I’ve been obsessed with animals since I was six, from rescuing strays in Brazil to caring for my own pack in the US. I’m the person you call for the "special" cases – seniors and rescues are my specialty. ❤️ I have 13+ years of experience with training and complex medical care. Daily meds or injections? I’ve got it handled. 💊 I work from home and your pup gets 24/7 attention, full couch access, and legendary bike rides in a goggled basket. 🕶️🚲 Whether they’re a professional napper or an adventure seeker, I’ll treat them like royalty. 👑 Ready for a worry-free stay? Send a message and let's get your pup's vacation started! 🐕✨

I started dogsitting over 20 years ago and became a professional dogwalker when I moved to San Francisco in 2013. I opened Skalliwags Pet Care in 2015 and it's been pure joy getting paid for what I love to do! I do 2 group walks/beach hikes a day that our minimum 60 min each. Groups are on the smaller side to create an ideal environment for exercise and facilitated socialization. I accept dogs in Oakland in neighborhoods near Lake Merritt for Daycare Only

In the business of treating your pups like family for years! Serving SF and the Peninsula. Specializing in small dog play care at a private well maintained dedicated pet care outdoor space. Force free training methods only and lots of great engagement and brushing up on training skills daily.

Over 20 years experience! Dogs, cats, small pets & reptiles and some farm animals. I became a full-time traveling house sitter in July 2020 and have thoroughly enjoyed this as I love to travel and staying in different homes to care for their pets. I work remotely as an insurance auditor so I am home often. Outside of work, I enjoy exercising 6 days a week as I am a retired triathlete.
