Nathasa was great with George! He had such a fun time and plenty of exercise. She also made sure he got his medication every morning, which we really appreciated. Loved all the updates and photos. Would definitely recommend and book with her again!

Kayla eased our nerves of boarding our puppy for her first time as she provided us with photos, videos, and amazing communication. Honey seemed to have had an amazing time at her house and was able to socialize with her two dogs. Honey also got lots of love during her stay with bonding moments, a walk, bath, training and play time. We will definitely be reaching back out soon to do a puppy play date!

Kodandi was amazing!!! She sent me pictures and updates daily which made me feel so much better. This was my first time leaving my dog with a sitter usually I board him. I am so pleased with his stay! My Choco loved his stay and seemed so comfortable and happy from the pictures that were sent to me. I am just so happy and we will definitely be returning.

Kodandi was fantastic with our dog Cruze! She was responsive, kind, and super flexible with our schedule. We really appreciated the regular updates and her help with pickup and drop-off. Our dog was clearly happy and well cared for. Highly recommend!

Natasha was incredible with our dog, Georgie! He clearly had an amazing time from all the walks to the park trips, he came home happy and tired (in the best way). She also made sure he got his medication each morning, which we really appreciated. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in such caring hands. We would absolutely recommend Natasha to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive sitter, and we ll definitely be booking with her again! Thank you so much again Nathasa!! :)

She went above and beyond for my pets. I will be using Vielle in the future.

Nathasa was so so so wonderful with Smudge, I was so nervous bc he had a sitter and friend he loved. They sent check-ins, photos, videos, and he came back so happy! I think he likes them more than me hahahah. Will definitely be using them again.

Natasha is great with my fur babies. She communicated well and I know they were very comfortable in her home. They took naps - that s truly unheard of coz at home they re quite busy following me around nonstop I m glad we found Natasha and thank you so much for accommodating last minute!

Nath was great with my puppy . My puppy is very shy and has to warm up to new people and she made the transition smooth, easy and comfortable for her. I really appreciate the updates as well. I will definitely book again! Thank you Nath

Pulgas Ridge Open Space Reserve
Hey buddy, go take a hike - and don't forget Fido! There are some on-leash trails that you can explore on this reserve. They offer shade and are generally not too crowded. The off-leash trails are on paved roads, but do have a steady incline. With over 6 miles of trails, you'll be able to see wildflowers a-plenty and potentially over 90 native species of trees, shrubs, and ferns! The trails crawl through cool canyons for resting and up to rocky ridge tops where you can take in the view towards the bay and surrounding hills. You can bark for joy here, as it is a great place to just be a dog!24
Buffalo Bill's Brewery
Since 1983, Buffalo Bill's Brewery has mastered the art of craft brewing and IPAs. You and your top dog can dine together in their outdoor seating area. While Fido enjoys some fresh water, you can check out the menu. First things first, pick your brew, then pair your meal from there (this may take a while - they all sound DELICIOUS!). How about a mouth-watering cheeseburger or a sandwich (like the brie and cranberry turkey, a seasonal favorite.) Decisions, decisions! Whatever you choose, be prepared for a great meal and a one of a kind craft brew with your furry friend by your side. No bones about it!12
Wag Hotels Haunted Halloween Party
This fun event is held at Wag Hotels in nearby Santa Clara, California. Its a great way for you and your pup to get your Halloween-on together! The party benefits the Silicon Valley Humane Society. Trick or Treat at the hotel and mingle with other groovy ghoulies, wacky witches and glorious goblins. There will also be a costume contest - human, you go as Fido, Fido go as your person, how pawsome will your twosome be? Plenty of vendors will be on-hand, along with many adorable, adoptable dogs, and silent auctions. And be warned all you Dalmatians out there - you can even get your photo taken with CRUELLA de Vil! There is so much fun to be had for this great cause.
Bijou Restaurant & Bar
Just say, "Oui, oui!" No Fido, not, "wee wee", the FRENCH fancy kind! This chic french eatery is reasonably priced and the chef uses locally sourced, organic ingredients for his marvellous menu. You and your chien (that's French for "dog") can dine alfresco under the stars together. Sip something delectable from the bar and get ready for one of the best dining experiences in Hayward! Choose from lamb shanks, pork belly, scallops, ahi tartare or just go right for that olive oil cake. Say Magnifique!
