East Bay Pet Care

If a dog is man’s best friend, then East Bay Pet Care is a dog owner’s very, very best friend and a wish come true. Bev and her staff provide invaluable peace of mind by being trustworthy, dependable, thoughtful, and fun. I feel so fortunate to be able to pack my bags, contact Bev and know that my Weimaraner will be well taken care of while I am traveling. Now I leave home without guilt, confident that everything is under control. What a special gift from Bev!

We have used East Bay Pet Care for nearly two years. Bev and her team are responsive and communicative. We get a daily note about how our dog was and if there is any sort of emergency or issue, I get a phone call or a text. Bev is accommodating to schedule changes and has helped us out on a couple of occasions when we had last-​minute needs. As a pet owner who loves her dog a little too much (is that even possible?), I know my dog is in good hands, as is evident when I see her interact with anyone from East Bay Pet Care: all waggy tailed and excited!

East Bay Pet Care is outstanding. If only all businesses ran like Bev’s. Her communication is fantastic and her commitment, enthusiasm, and care for pets is stellar. EBPC has repeatedly accommodated changes to our schedule and they always keep my yellow lab Sunny’s care foremost in their minds. Highly recommended!!!

Bev and all of her dog walkers are amazing!!! They truly care for your dog as if it were their own! I would recommend them to anyone looking for a professional to take care of their dog/​cat/​animal!

We feel so fortunate to have Bev look after our little Chocolate lab.
We found Bev after calling several people in the area and inquiring about their services, she was very professional and had amazing refererrals.
Our little puppy was only 3 months old when we moved to Lafayette and we needed someone to come a couple of times a day to check on her while my husband and I were at work.
We trust Bev and Staci 100% not only with our little baby puppy, but also with our home.
She leaves notes for us to learn of our puppy’s day while we are gone, brings any packages we received into the house while we are away and reinforces our puppy’s training.
She has been the biggest help during these last months.

We are so thankful for Bev and her staff at East Bay Pet Care!
We have an incredibly needy cat and dog. We had tried other pet sitters in the past, but when we would return from the trip, our animals were frantic! Not with Bev! They love her and they get plenty of attention while we are away. When we return they are, of course, happy to see us, but they aren’t as desperate. We have traveled for long weekends and even used this service when we traveled for over a week. During our longer trips, Bev’s team would even stay the night at our house to give our pets a little more company.
Again, I highly recommend Bev if you want your pets to truly be cared for while you are away. We never thought we would find a pet sitter that would help alleviate our pets anxiety while we were away. But, we did — thank you, Bev!

I LOVE Bev. She’s super sweet and always very responsive, letting me know quickly when there’s a problem and keeping me up to date on how my boys are doing. I should also say that my older cat, Bug, is very shy but went up to her no problem. Her fees are reasonable, she very graciously brought in my mail, and she took such good care of Bug that I feel absolutely confident leaving him and my kitten in her care. Bev has a definite return customer!

Hate to do this, but really — is it that hard to follow through on a commitment, or to return a call? What does that say about East Bay Pet Care to someone with no experience with them? We have an out-​of-​town trip we have to take shortly and, for the first time, find we need a pet sitter for our two sweet pooches. We asked if she could accommodate our particular needs and she said she’d call one of her staff to see if they could provide what we were looking for. We were promised a call back the next day. Well, a day or two goes by and no call. We called her again and left a voice message, and still — no call. She may be a good pet sitter/​walker/​etc., but I guess we’ll never know. The quest for an excellent (and responsive) pet sitter continues…(I know they’re out there!)

Bev is a godsend! We cannot say enough good things about her. We recently rescued a young black lab who gets nervous around other dogs when walking in our neighborhood. Since I travel for business we needed someone who was comfortable walking a dog with issues. Bev did not hesitate one bit and has helped our «Q» become a better dog. It is obvious that Bev loves her «charges» and has found her true calling. She has been a big blessing for us. We wholeheartedly recommend Bev.
We trust her completely with our furry child and our house.

I was nervous hiring someone to come into our home and care for my very people-​centric and needy cat while on vacation, and my husband kept trying to talk me out of hiring a sitter and just asking a neighbor. But I went with my gut and hired Bev. She is awesome. Sent me a note while we were out and left a detailed report on what she and our cat did in their time together. I totally trusted her and would recommend her service to anyone.

I have used Bev’s services a number of times and have been so impressed! I have 2 kitties that I love very much (some may say I’m a little too crazy about my cats), so it was important to me that I found someone who was reliable, caring and available by e-​mail, text or phone. Bev is all of these things and more! She goes beyond caring for your pets and will take out your garbage on garbage day, take in your mail and water your plants. I treat my cats like they’re my children and Bev is always quick to respond to my e-​mails regarding how my girls are doing. I know I can rely on EBPC to be available on short notice as well. I have been extremely impressed by how happy my kitties seem when I come home from a vacation, and I am confident is has to do with the exceptional attention and care that Bev gives them. EBPC definitely gives me peace of mind when I am out of town.

Bev is a gem and runs this amazing business.
My GF and I got a rescue dog this winter. I stayed home from work the first day to make sure he felt acclimated but couldn’t stay home longer. My heart went out to my new little furry friend. He was still getting used to his surroundings. To make sure he wasn’t home alone all day while we worked, I called East Bay Pet Care to see if they could help out. I was interested in the daily walk, Monday to Friday. When I called, Bev picked up and was so nice. She was really amazing and had no problem getting going with Marley. She came over that night to meet Marley and get acquainted. I knew I liked her from the start.
Could say more but I’ll stop here. Bev and her team are amazing. They really helped my rescue dog come out of his shell and love life that much more. I am forever thankful to East Bay Pet Care.

I’m not sure where I’d be without East Bay Pet Care. They provide an amazing service at an affordable rate and most importantly give me piece of mind while I’m away at work. The best judge, of course, is seeing how my dog behaves around his dedicated walker. I’ve seen them together on walks and around the house and you can immediately tell that my dog really likes his time with Thomas. I’m 100% comfortable putting my dog in their hands.

January 2011 — An update. I’d still wish I could give them more than 5 paws. I’ve been using EBPC for almost 3 years. (Next month will be 3 years.) They all do a wonderful job. My neighbors often remark on how friendly the team is and how happy my dogs are with them. When I have to travel out of town, I don’t have to worry about my babies or my house. Both are in great shape when I return. EBPC is a part of our family. We just love them.

My husband and I moved to CA from Boston 2 years ago with our 13 year old German Shepherd and were so blessed to find Bev. She was so wonderful with him — took him on short senior dog walks and just hung in the yard with him. A year after losing our beloved, Apollo, we adopted a 2 year old German Shepherd and 2 kittens. Bev and her staff have been so wonderful with our new family of animals. It gives us peace of mind knowing they are well taken care of when we are not home. She texts pictures of their visits so I can see Shelby rolling around in the grass and the cats getting into their regular mischief.
I would highly recommend East Bay Pet Care to anyone with pets.

UPDATED February-​2015: Still a loyal customer after 6 years. Bev and her team have been there for me on short notice during a family medical emergency, a month long road trip and everything in between. You may need to be patient for return phone calls or responses to e-​mail, but if it’s an emergency, not to worry — she’s ON IT. This is a well-​established professional service with top notch training, careful screening, and plenty of back up sitters if your regular is unavailable. There is zero «flake out» factor. Oy vey! The stories I could tell about some of my previous sitters.
UPDATED April-​2010: I’ve used this service several times since my original review and continue to be extremely pleased with the combination of professional, but personal service.
ORIGINAL REVIEW: I am simply over the moon with the care my cats received. Besides taking care of the basics like food, water, and cleaning the potty, their sitter spent lots of time getting to know them and their habits, grooming them, and taking them to their balcony for a bit of fresh air. I got regular updates and photos by e-​mail which were very reassuring. When I got home the house was in great shape, the cats were relaxed and happy, and my plants survived a hot spell in fine form. I am so pleased I’ve already booked dates for my next trip.

I LOVE East Bay Pet Care. They have given me prompt reliable service. I was fired by three dog walkers before we contacted East Bay Pet Care and they were willing to walk my very energetic dog Hunter! Although Hunter is quite a cuddle bug he’s, well, very strong and very energetic. I feel safe in the hands of Beverly Davis and her staff. It is very comforting for to know that I have someone to rely on to take care of my dear pet.

From the moment I met Beverly, there was a connection that she gets me and I knew she would take care of my family just like it was her own. I’m always worried about my gang of animals when I leave them, especially Mouse who is asthmatic and requires emergency shots if her asthma gets out of control and usually does when she’s anxious. Then there is Turtle, the shy one, I always wonder while I’m away if she’s going to come out from under the bed but she loves her pet sitter and comes to her easily. The boys (Stinky & Baby Kitty) can be quite a handful and seem to wander further when I’m away and yet the are accounted for each and every day that I’m gone. I love the daily notes from my pet sitter, it lets me know that everyone is well-​taken care of when I’m called out of town. I think my cats like their pet-​sitter more than me, its almost like I was never gone and they are all happy when I come home.
Its also great to know that Beverly and her team are available for those little home emergencies or errands, so many of times I’ve wondered did I leave the garage door open and had to turn around and come back to check. Next time I’m calling Beverly to do a home check for me…
