Aloha Pet Services

I appreciate the unquestionable reliability of your pet-sitting service! I've been calling on you for about 2 1/2 years now, and have never come home to a mess or to an unhappy cat. I particularly appreciate the times you have cleaned up when one of my girls lost her lunch -- that is going the extra mile, indeed. Mahalo nui loa, and good luck in all of your endeavors.
-Barbara Frierson, San Leandro

We have always been very pleased with the care and understanding that Sabrina has shown our boxer dog, Dozer. We never have to worry when he is with her. She lets the animals stay in the house as if they were her own and is very kind to all of them.
-Ray and Bette Commander

It is very comforting to know that Sabrina is "on the job" to visit and feed Jade and Rosie. They look forward to her coming. If Sabrina comes to the house for something when we are here the dogs are always very happy to see her and are disappointed that they can't go with her when she leaves.
I feel very confident in Sabrina's ability to take complete care of "our girls". She is very knowledgeable and dependable!
-Carol Taylor, Jade and Rosie's "mom", San Leandro

Sabrina took care of us many times last year when our mom was away. We were so happy that we didn't have to leave the safety and comfort and familiarity of our home in mom's absence. We were always well fed, had fresh water every day and our litter box was always cleaned. And Sabrina even stayed to play with us for awhile! We made sure we were on our best behavior because Sabrina always left a little note, reporting on anything that was amiss in our owner's absence. Thank you again Sabrina and we wish you continued success with Aloha Pet Services™!
-Tucker and Bandito (Carolyn Glennon)

I would like to take this opportunity to commend Sabrina, Dana and Aloha Pet Services™ for the extraordinary care given to my dearest friend, Bandi (my dog).
Aloha Pet Services™ has been a part of our life since it’s inception and since Bandi was 2 Months old! The care Bandi receives from Sabrina and Aloha Pet Services™ is and has always been equal to the care she gets at home. She’s always thrilled to see Sabrina, Dana and friends whether it’s for a walk, an adventure or a slumber party.
I’ve observed Sabrina’s attention to detail and special needs of all the pet’s she cares for. This is a quality that is always important whether with my best friend or anyone else’s.
Sabrina/Aloha Pet Services™ have also been accessible and available whenever we needed their help. This is another important and invaluable aspect of this wonderful business.
In summary, Aloha Pet Services™ is the finest pet care service I’ve used and I could not imagine having anyone else care for my most prized companion!
-Carter Lipscomb, Lafayette

"We've left our dog Bella with other people before for overnight stays and every time we did, I always felt the need to call and check up on her. Now that Sabrina [Aloha Pet Services™] takes care of her, I never feel the need to call; I'm confident Bella will be in great hands especially because Sabrina is certified in pet CPR. It's even an extra perk that Dana is around as Bella enjoys her company! We definitely recommend Sabrina to anyone in need of a pet sitter or caregiver."
-Cat & Terrence Brewer, Alameda

We are so glad we met Sabrina and that she is an important part of our lives. We have two large yellow Labradors and we are unable to walk them ourselves. Sabrina is very dependable. She is flexible and willing to accomodate changes we may need in services.
What I love most about Sabrina and her service:
The most important, top of the list for me, is the fact that she is reliable. She has NEVER failed to show up, and on time, for her scheduled walks. She is enthusiastic and energetic. She is concerned and caring about our dogs.
The dogs are always very excited to see her and go for their walk. They are certainly in better physical condition. She moves them on out and they come hope panting.
Highly recommend her. Aloha, Sabrina, thank you.
-Catherine Byal, San Leandro

Amber and Chester just love when Sabrina comes to visit. They don't seem to mind us being gone as much with her visiting. Amber wiggles all over because she remembers that Sabrina introduced her to greenies and Amber loves them. Chester immediately rolls onto his back and says "rub my belly." It is nice to know we can have someone as trustworthy as Aloha Pet Services™ take care of our "children" when we are gone.
-David Grodin, San Leandro

I had a dog that was recovering from cancer surgery and I did not feel comfortable leaving her home, unsupervised, with my other dog, while I went to work. I contacted Sabrina and was able to get one of her staff to stay with the dogs all day, and make sure my Mandy did not pull her stitches. I am very happy with the services.

I had also taken a pet first aid class, given by Aloha Pet Services™, and was really amazed at all the things I learned. Everyone who owns a dog or cat, should take the time to educate themselves on animal first aid.
Thanks Sabrina
-Hilda Blakeney, San Leandro

I just want to thank you again and let your future clients know that whenever we go on our ski trips or other getaways we enjoy it more knowing that our dogs and house are looked after by you. Thanks again.
-Jeff and Lana, Jack and Haley (Jeff Rocheford), San Leandro

"Aloha Pet Services™ are fabulous! My dogs love looking forward to seeing Sabrina Almazan when I am out of town."
-Johan Klehs, San Leandro

I feel very comfortable leaving my pets in the care of Aloha Pet Services™. When I come home from a trip my dogs seem totally content, almost as if I hadn't been gone very long after all.
-Kim Burnstein, Dutch and Pepper

Mid-day walks/hikes for our active Vizsla, Buddy, were a must. With Sabrina’s help we came home to a happy dog rather than a crazy dog. I have also been able to rest easy when leaving our baby with Sabrina for an overnight stay. Leaving him behind is hard but knowing he is in good hands make things easier.
-Leigh & Jarrod Ehlers

Sabrina first met Hank & Suki 3 years ago. Sabrina is very accommodating with our schedules and needs, is prompt at returning calls and emails, and will go out of her way to make sure Hank & Suki are comfortable in her care. Since Sabrina came into our lives, Hank & Suki don’t miss us as much when we go away. That’s when you know she’s part of your family….-Chris & Liezl Boehnlein
“We love you, Sabrina”!!!
-Hank & Suki

Sabrina has done our pet-sitting for two years now. Our dog really likes her. We are impressed with the rapport she has with animals, and also her willingness to help with things like the mail and papers.
-Paul, Castro Valley

Sabrina is awesome! I travel often for work and because of her I can do it guilt-free. I always know that my kitty is in expertly trained and loving hands.
-Lorna Garano

Sabrina's service is great! I've even had some last minute pet sitting needs that she's been able to fill. Our dog, Stag, loves Sabrina and I know he is happy and healthy while we're away. I would recommend her to anyone.
-Marsha Amaral

We're really happy to have found Sabrina and Aloha Pet Services™ when we moved to the East Bay area. She has been our pet sitter for almost three years now and she always has time on her calendar for our cats. Recently, we called on Sabrina last minute when our senior cat, Chloe, was suddenly passing away. I know Chloe really liked Sabrina and I'm glad she was able to visit Chloe when we couldn't take days off from work. I would highly recommend Aloha Pet Services™. Sabrina's patience and professionalism are admirable and she really has compassion for all her clients.
-Melanie, Joan, Sid (and Chloe)

The most reassuring part of traveling is knowing that Aloha Pet Services™ is taking good care of my cat while I’m away from home. The icing on the cake is seeing the nicely stacked mail and a cheery note from Sabrina welcoming me home.
-Melinda Garcia

When I say the name Sabrina, Betty's tail starts to wag with excitement and happiness. Betty likes Sabrina. Betty loves Sabrina! When Sabrina arrives, Betty's tail wags with anticipation and delight. I feel confident leaving Betty in the care of Aloha Pet Services™.
-Michael Notaro

Sabrina has taken care of our cats ("our girls") for over a year now. She is very attentive to our cats' needs. Mikan has a bit of stranger anxiety, but she has grown to trust Sabrina because of Sabrina's love and special treatment. Momo and Mikan receive great care when Sabrina is there for them. Sabrina always leaves a note detailing their behavior and feeding while we are gone. We have never had to worry about anything while away on vacation.
-Patty and Rob Vecchiarello

My dog, Peter always looks forward to hanging out with Sabrina, Dana, and his buddies at Aloha Pet Service.
He returns to me a happy, satisfied puppy- I am not really sure whether it's because he had a great day or just excited to see me! In either case, I am truly pleased with the service Sabrina provides.
-Randy Wu

We are so happy with Sabrina’s Aloha Pet Services™! Our dogs look forward to Sabrina’s visits. Sabrina has the perfect combination of professionalism, friendliness, and skill. We thank her for taking such great care of Zelda and Zoeie!
-Shoshana Bennett

"Sabrina Almazan is an excellent pet walker/sitter. We have used her services for almost two years and have always been pleased with her work.
Sabrina is very consistent, and persistent -- a trait which many walkers/services do not possess. Sabrina really cares about our pets, follows instructions to the letter, and has been available for urgent needs when others have not. We recommend Sabrina to anyone who needs pet care services."
-Emma, Jerry, Mom, and boyz

Sabrina bathed and cared for my two old girls (dogs). One of my dogs in particular is very cranky and hyper alert. Sabrina not only got both dogs good and clean, but took great care to keep their anxiety down. (We know how much dogs want baths!) I totally trust Sabrina with my beloved pets and recommend her to care for even difficult pets.
-Sylvia Deaton

Currently we are living overseas, while our beloved family pet remains in California. Jams is living with family friends, but Sabrina's assistance in helping to keep our pet fit and most of all happy, is beyond price! Sabrina is reliable, thoughtful, consistent and happy to be around dogs. Her ability to handle medical emergencies helps provide peace of mind, you never know what the little darlings will get into!
-From Jam's mom: Terese King

Sabrina has always come through for Chloe the pug! We have known her for several years now. We have received her every effort to help out whether it be in Berkeley, Oakland or San Ramon. Thank you for being so loyal and dedicated.....and putting us in touch with reliable and trustworthy petsitters. It has made the difference for quality of life for both Chloe and myself.
-Terry Wong-Cook

My wife and I travel quite a bit for work (and fun) and it has been a great relief knowing that Sabrina is around to take care of our dog and cat. Many times our travel is unexpected and last minute but Sabrina is usually there and accommodating. I can’t tell you enough what a stress relief it is knowing that she is there looking after the loved ones.
-Thomas O'Donnell

I would definitely recommend Sabrina as a pet sitter. Sabrina gives the love and attention my dog Dauber needs. I used to worry when I went away, but not anymore. She leaves a written report on what they did and how my dog was. If your pet likes other dogs, make sure she brings along Dana.
-Brian McGovern

Our dogs come home tired from their stays with Sabrina at Aloha Pet Services™. We know they are in the best hands and are having a great time on their excursions, while we are away. Not only are we on vacation so are our dogs!
-Michelle & Jason Hammon

I’ve really learned to trust and depend on Sabrina at Aloha Pets. My dog “BooBoo” loves going to play with other dogs in the park and if I get busy at work or want to go on vacation I just call Sabrina. She comes to the rescue.
-Rick Gilbert

We would like to thank you, Sabrina, and Aloha Pet Services™ for your professional and diligent efforts in caring for our family companion, Jazar. Throughout the course of our vacations and our “last minute” care needs, you continually conduct and represent yourself as a professional. The initiative and effort your company brings forth is a testament to the quality of services that you provide. Your dedication and love for animals are paramount. Aloha Services is definitely one of the best and we will continually call on you for all of Jazar’s needs.
-Jacki Lee and Launa Cornwell

Sabrina goes over and beyond the call of duty in taking care of my dog. Maya loves to play with Sabrina and her dog, Dana. Before I met Sabrina, I had never left Maya with someone who I didn’t know personally. I feel very comfortable leaving Maya with her; I know that Maya is well taken care of and loved as if she were one of Sabrina’s own pets.
-Tracey Lantz

Sabrina is very conscientious. She had an initial consultation with us to meet the family and while we were away, she maintained a daily journal on our animals’ activities, feedings, and any concerns that she had. She runs a great business with a personal touch.
-Scott and Sandy Lawrence

Finding Sabrina and Aloha Pet Services™ has been one of our greatest discoveries! She was our pet sitter for over a year and we knew that we could leave our cat, Charlie, in her care without having to worry. Sabrina loves animals and she has a special way with them which quickly earns their trust. Sabrina is efficient, thorough, and well-organized with her clients. She always left a report about Charlie’s activities, eating habits, and behavior as well as what he likes to play with when she comes over to feed and amuse him. She even showed us ways to play with our cat that we never thought of on our own! Taking trips were no longer the worry it used to be, we knew that we had Sabrina as a wonderful “auntie” to Charlie. Thank you for coming into our lives, Sabrina!
(In Loving Memory of Charlie)

My husband and I both work about 60 hours a week; it is all we can do when we get home to make dinner and go to bed, forget walking my two little beloved angels, my dogs! That’s when I met Sabrina from Aloha Pet Services™. She takes my two little girls, Bisha and Weezie, on weekly walks. They are very excited to see her each week and I know they get someone who is attentive and caring. When I leave for a weekend, I always get progress reports and I come back to healthy, happy doggies. This is not just a job for Sabrina, it is a true passion and I, my family, and my babies (the dogs) would be lost without her!
-Kathy Martins

I found that using Aloha Pet Services™ brought me peace of mind when I was away from my pet children. I felt secure in knowing that Sabrina was reliable and dependable and “the kids” were in good hands. Taking pictures and sending them to me by email was a special touch that satisfied my yearning for my pets while I was away. I would highly recommend using Aloha Pet Services™ if you want to feel secure in leaving your pets in good hands.
-Sharon & Tom

Sabrina has been a blessing to our household. We trust her completely in our home, caring for our dog and cat (who are like children to us). We love her notes letting us know how her visits went, and the added touches. It’s so reassuring to have someone as responsible as Sabrina caring for our family members. Mahalo Sabrina!
-Mary Tanner & Barry Gilbert

What a joy it is to know, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that your puppy will be taken care of like some one from "back home" [in Hawai`i] - like someone who's family would do it...by someone who cares as much for your puppy as she does for her own...
That's what life has been like for our dogs, and for us, since we first met Sabrina...and we know that Sabrina will care for Kolili like she's her own. You can't ask for much more than that from anyone.
Mahalo nui, Sabrina
-Jo, Mary, Kolili and Ani, Castro Valley

Sabrina is the best! Rumba loves her (I think more than he loves
me!) and I can relax when he is with her, knowing that she takes such good care of him. She works extremely well with my animals and her knowledge of pet first aid and CPR makes me really comfortable leaving my animals in her care. I just wish Rumba were more excited to see me after he spends the day with Sabrina!
-Melissa Deadrich

Sabrina has cared for Elliot for the past 2 years. Having a sporting breed and working full time is a challenge. Trusting someone with your dog’s well being is also difficult. Sabrina’s outings keep my dog happy and ease my mind that he’s well exercised and having fun on those days, I can’t get him out. Sabrina has also provided homestays, holiday care, and vet emergencies for us. I trust her completely with Elliot and he speaks quite highly of her as well.
-Michelle Heathman, San Leandro

My wife and I work crazy hours and, often, our schedules are subject to change with very little notice. We are always aware that this may have a heavy impact on our “high-maintenance” Bassett Hound named Bailey. However, we were very fortunate to have found the services of Sabrina and her Aloha Pet Services™. She always goes the extra mile to help us out when our work has us running around the clock. She is very dependable and really goes the extra distance to make us feel at ease with our dog’s needs. She even goes as far as leaving updates on our Bailey if she feels anything was out of the ordinary with her. It adds comfort of mind to know she is watching over our little one.
-Doug and Michell Golden, San Leandro

Knowing that Sabrina is looking after my BIG DOG during the day while I’m at work, or when I’m away on business lets me be stress-free. My animals are in the best hands possible, when I can’t be with them. Sabrina is a life-saver!
-Jann & Prentice Hayes, San Leandro

Five out of five smiling dogs agree, Aloha Pet Services™ is the best!
