Tansie’s Pet Sitting – Boarding small dogs in Downtown San Jose (Japantown)
Hello and happy tails!
Small Dog Boarding in Downtown San Jose! Welcome to our cozy home in downtown San Jose! Small dogs of all breeds will enjoy their stay with our resident pugs, Stewart and Momo.
We’re a small, family-run business boarding just a handful of pups at a time, ensuring every dog receives plenty of love and attention. Since 2017, we’ve cared for hundreds of happy dogs and earned hundreds of five-star reviews (sit/tansiei) from pet parents who trust us to treat their dogs like our own.
We welcome dogs under 30 pounds (though we understand some carry a little “extra love” around the middle). All guests must be up-to-date on vaccinations and get along reasonably well with other dogs.
What your dog can expect:
- Climate-controlled indoor space with comfortable accommodations
- Dog toys and beds on site
- Medication administration (fluids, diabetes, we also can change diapers for elderly dogs)
- Frequent walks in our beautiful Japantown neighborhood
- Fully fenced backyard with play area and dog door
- Double fencing for extra security
- Optional AirTags for peace of mind
- Separate feeding times to keep mealtime stress-free from food guarding
- Multiple dogs? We offer a discount!
- Plenty of cute photo opportunities (and occasional costume fun for willing participants!)
- We’ve fostered many pugs through local rescues and continue supporting pug non-profits. Senior dogs and rescue dogs hold a special place in our hearts.
