Verified Member since Aug 2020 Verified checkmark

Welcome to our family of pet lovers! With over a decade of experience, we are passionate experts dedicated to providing exceptional pet care services. Based in the vibrant communities of Fremont, Newark, Union City, and San Leandro, we cater to a wide variety of animals, from cats and dogs to reptiles and small mammals. Our team, led by husband-and-wife duo Jess and Rob, is not only bonded and insured but also boasts an impressive array of credentials, including American Red Cross Pet First Aid and CPR Certification, being Applied Animal Behavior Certified (UW-AAB), and membership with the International Boarding and Pet Services Association (IBPSA). Rest assured, your furry, scaly, or feathered friends are in capable and loving hands.

Our state-of-the-art facility in downtown San Leandro offers a cozy, home-like atmosphere where your pets can feel relaxed and at ease. We have a dedicated cat room for our feline guests and provide personalized playtime for dogs, ensuring each one receives the attention they deserve. Our requirements are simple: dogs must be crate trained and quiet through the night. We kindly ask pet parents to bring their own food to prevent any tummy upsets, but we supply all other necessities, including bowls, blankets, and beds. Whether your pet needs special medication or one-on-one play, we tailor our services to meet every unique need, ensuring their stay is as enjoyable as possible.

Beyond boarding and daycare, we offer a comprehensive range of pet services, including grooming, pet loss support, and mobile services for those unexpected cat-astrophes. Our team members are Certified Master Cat Groomers (CMCG), Certified Pet Loss Professionals (CPLP), and Certified Animal Communicators (Level Two), providing top-tier care and understanding. With a 24-hour cancellation policy, we offer flexibility for the busy pet parent. Are you ready to give your pets the love and care they deserve? Book us through Petworks today!
