Mister Beever’s Paws & Claws

I was so lucky to discover Sen and Alex for my two dogs and two cats. I met Sen when he was working as a vet tech at the Vet Eye doctor. I went in for an eye problem my big dog was having. Sen was terrific with my terrified shaking 70lb snow dog mix. He was knowledgeable, kind, gentle, compassionate, professional.
I jokingly asked him if he did house calls and by gum he did and does!!!
Mister and Missus Beaver subsequently have been to my house many times to trim both my dogs nails, clean their ears, and little dogs anal glands… And have done at least one of my cats nails as well. Really I just adore Sen and Alex and totally trust them as well. They are prompt and courteous and Sen is a fount of information…
I have not used them in quite awhile as I couldn’t afford it for awhile. I think it was $ 40.00 per animal Which seems very reasonable for a house call. However I am just about to call them and make an appointment as I really cannot do as good a job as they can (plus I don’t do butts-​so far anyway).
The only minus and this is just me is that I wish they would do some kind of reminder call or email or text a few days before the upcoming appt as I have forgotten and the let me slide once (I think) but understandably charge full price as I recall if they show up and I’m not here.
All in all they are super five star and more!!!

Mister Beever’s Paws and Claws are excellent!
We were away for 1 week, my dog lucy is on Chemotherapy and i wanted her to stay with my dad, but i wanted someone with experience to admin meds.
Sen, Alex and staff are experienced and the best!
They were prompt and courteous… administered a complicated schedule of medications, took notes, and walked Lucy daily.
They even took and posted photos for us while we were away.
I recommend Mr beever’s Paws and Claws without any hesitation. Excellent!
Would use them again in a heartbeat.

A little bit about me. I had just moved to the Oakland area last month. I have two friends in the bay area, but they are pretty far away from my apartment and not pet-​people. And I have no family here.
So.when I found out that I had to travel back home for a family emergency, I was desperately trying to reach out to anyone to watch my dog for the weekend. I found Alex and Sen using the East Bay Pet Sitters Association. I was so desperate to find someone to pop-​in my apartment and check on my dog so I emailed everyone on the list of recommended pet sitters.
Alex responded to my email in less than 24 hours and so kindly agreed to watch my dog. How much notice did I give them? Three days! I was sure I wasn’t going to find anyone. I emailed Mister Beever’s Paws & Claws on WEDNESDAY to watch my dog starting SATURDAY. (yea…really short notice). Alex and Sen met me at my apartment on Friday to meet my pup and go over logistics for the drop-​in visits.
Once I met them, I knew at once that Lucy would be in great care. And not only because of their experience with caring for animals, but because they’re great people. They gave me recommendations of good vets and clinics, dog care products, restaurants for good eats in the Oakland area, and other services since I told them I’d just moved here. And not knowing many people in this area, I really appreciate finding and meeting good people.
During my time at home, I received twice-​daily texts and emails with pictures of my dog in my apartment and out on walks with Alex and Sen. I felt so relieved, especially having to deal with the stressful emergency back home.
I hope you read all this, but the short version is, don’t look any further! Mister Beever’s is the way to go! I would absolutely work with Alex and Sen again and am emphatically recommending them for care of your furever friend.

We have been using Sen and Alex for well over a year for our eight year old hound dog. They are awesome ! I trust them completely and I really love that Sen is a registered Vet Tech. We use them to walk our dog and we also use them for pet services such as nail trimming and additional needs. I cannot say enough good things about the service they provide, we absolutely love getting the pictures of our pup on her walk, she is always smiling! In addition to these awesome services, on several occasions I’ve emailed questions to Sen about a concern that I have or question about a food, you name it and he always responds and offers helpful answers.

We just came back from a two week trip and found our kitties happy and well taken care of. Alex and Sen did a phenomenal job. I felt they were as attentive to us as they were to our cats when they provided us daily pictures/​communication — which was great as this was a major trip away from our young cats. And our cats seemed to love them.
We found Sen and Alex to be trustworthy and their service to be top notch. We highly recommend them and would use this service again in the future.

I feel so grateful and lucky to have found these guys! Not only are they 100% reliable, but very professional too! I’ve been using them to watch my three cats for about two years now and I trust them totally! They send pics with updates ! I completely reccomend them.

I found Sen and Alex here on Unilocal and reached out to address an urgent anal gland expression situation. They were unable to schedule a visit immediately. Most businesses would just leave it at that, but instead, without asking, they provided multiple referrals to other vet techs who could come by my home and treat my dog! I’m home-​bound because of health issues, and taking care of my dog can be challenging. How kind of these two to help me in a way that potentially means less business for them!
I have not used their services as yet, but I will.
I can safely say, Sen and Alex are good people.

Mister Beever’s never lets me down!
I recently rescued 11 year old adorable English Bulldog (or maybe she rescued me?). She was obviously only used to breed adorable puppies and that’s about it (terrible terrible breeders!). She was then dumped on a freeway and left for dead. Fortunately, Maddie has 9 lives and someone picked her up and got her to a rescue. While I can’t change her past, I can certainly pave the road to a high thread count easy livin’ retirement! This is where Mister Beever’s comes in…
Sen and Alex have been quick to address all health issues, as well as thoughtfully proactively follow up. These folks are reliable, considerate, flexible, great listeners and I trust them implicitly with my sweet ‘ol girl.
Whether is a walk, a routine maintenance visit (nails, ears, folds, butt), training or advice, you really can’t go wrong with Mister Beever’s Paws & Claws. They really are the best in the biz.

We’re so pleased with Mr. Beever’s and have been using them for pug pawdicures for several months now and recently upgraded to have them also take care of my Puggle Daisy’s nails. Both of my girls get so excited to see Sen and Alex at the door!

I decided to give Mister Beever’s Paws and Claws a try over the Christmas holiday this year and I am so glad I did. Sen and Alex are a dream team! I have a lot of cat anxiety and leaving my kitty in their care was the right choice.
I received daily picture texts and updates. Their price was reasonable for the level of care they gave and when I returned home after 6 days of being gone, I couldn’t have been more relieved. The cat box was super clean, my kitty had been well fed and played with, and everything smelled fresh and lovely. The trash had been taken out and they even washed all the cat plates and put them back!
So glad to have found a good cat sitter. I will absolutely be a repeat customer. Thanks guys!

I have to thank my friend, Laura, for recommending Sen and Alex’s services. They are very accommodating and they know their stuff. I mostly use their services to get both of my cats’ nails cut. I tried to do it on my own once and that was it. Another great thing is they can check on any concerns I might have with my cats and they will let me know if they see anything odd.

This review is LOOONG overdue and I’m embarrassed that it has taken me this long to write something about the amazing team that Alex and Sen are. They’ve watched our Ella three times now. The first time they watched her, it was over a two week period when we were gone for our destination wedding and we were nervous about finding a good pet sitter. Thankfully we came across the Paws & Claws flier at a wine shop in the neighborhood. Sen and Alex send text messages and pictures every time they visit Ella and whenever we come home, they have a sweet card waiting for us that’s handwritten and thankful for our business. I know Ella loves them as much as we do and she is always comfortable and happy whenever we come back from our trips.
I love having the peace of mind that we’re leaving our cat with experienced, knowledgeable and genuinely animal loving professionals who take care of your pet while you’re away.
Please please please look to them to take care of your furry family members! You won’t regret it!

LOVE these two! Thank you Sen and Alex!
We have 4 pets and found Mister Beever’s Paws and Claws on Unilocal when we were looking for someone to care for them while we took vacation. The reviews really impressed us and we emailed to set up a first appointment. When Sen and Alex came to our house we knew right away that our pets loved them (3 cats and a Dog) and also that we would feel comfortable leaving them in their care. They are extremely friendly and knowledgeable… we even learned a few things we could do better as parents!
Have you ever left for vacation and been totally stressed out about your pets? That was us for the last three years until we discovered Sen and Alex! Its not easy to find someone you can trust to care for your pet babies and our vacation was stress free knowing they were safe. Sen and Alex also sent pics to us via text while we were gone and it looked like everyone was having fun.
Can’t thank you guys enough! You have a great business and we look forward to continue working with you!

Oh Sen and Alex, Sen and Alex. We would be lost without them.
In January my husband and I brought home a puppy — a little ball of gingery love we named Cooper. He is so sweet and affectionate but he is a spritely little bird dog and he has SO MUCH ENERGY. Like any new puppy guardians (who had never been sole providers of puppy care) we were exhausted and stressed that we weren’t doing anything right. We needed help wearing out our little guy and we needed to find a sitter who could let our pup out every day at lunch time while we were working.
Along came Sen and Alex of Mr Beever’s, recommended by our vet. Sen and Alex made time for us and our puppy immediately after we contacted them. They came over for a meet and greet and Coop loved them right off the bat, and so did we!
A huge bonus of working working with Mr Beever’s is that Sen is a registered vet tech extraordinaire and both he and Alex are certified in animal CPR and first aid. Together they taught us how to care for our pup’s long ears which are prone to infection. We are now able to successfully clean our guys ears weekly with no fuss.
Fast forward 8 months and 20 pounds of high energy dog and Sen and Alex take Coop on excursions every weekday — to different parks, to the redwoods, to the beach. Not only does he get exercise but he also gets lots of socialization with other dogs — big and small, young and adult. And we get texts with pictures showing what our guy is up to during the day — it’s always something to look forward to when work is crazy.
When we take Coop on trips over the weekend, Sen and Alex do drop-​ins to take care of Cooper’s feline brother. They bring in packages and do all these things we never expected but that’s one of the numerous benefits of working with such a great team! But the best part about Sen and Alex is how they are not just our dog walkers/​pet sitters. The business they run is more like a family; we refer to Sen and Alex as Cooper’s other parents. He is in such great hands when he is with the Mr and Mrs Beever’s team.

If you want a peace of mind while you are away on vacation, hire Alex and Sen. The very best cat sitters in the area!
My kitty – who was always healthy – suddenly got sick and got diagnosed with cystitis (crystals) right before a trip I had been planning for a year. I had to take him to the emergency room twice in a row because he was straining to pee. I was a frantic mess because all of this was happening just a week before the trip. I had already booked Alex and Sen, and I wrote to them to update them about my cat’s new medical condition:
Me: «Alex! Sen! OMG! I just got back from the emergency room! My cat has cystitis! I have to put him on prescription diet. I don’t know what to do! Can you guys come in everyday instead of every other? Can you feed him prescription wet food and monitor his peeing? can you drive him to emergency if need be? Shall I just cancel the trip? OMG OMG, I’m freaking out!»
A&S: «This is the exact kind of thing we are trained to do. Have a wonderful vacation, and we will take care of everything.»
They were right. I had a wonderful vacation, and they took care of EVERYTHING. My house was cleaner than when I had left it. My cat was purry and perfectly healthy when i came back (he was like, «oh, are you back already?»). They brought in my cat food shipment and had it all organized on my kitchen counter. They covered my plant with foil paper so that my kitty would not dig up the plant. There were new feather toys and organic catnip toys at the house. They even left a cute thank you card on the table! I was like, «Whaaaat? I should be thanking you guys! Not the other way around!»
I now understand the difference of hiring a licensed Vet Tech with many years of experience versus hiring a normal petsitter. I would have been stressed out of my mind if my kitty was not with a medically trained petsitter. I am so grateful. Plus, these guys offer their services at extremely reasonable rates.
I can go on and on about how awesome Alex and Sen are. Just meet them once, and you will understand why they have a 5-​star review.

What a great idea!
Sean and Alex are super personable and genuinely love animals. They did an excellent job of helping my oldest dog with some ahem… butt issues. The procedure was quick and I didn’t have to reschedule my entire day to go sit in a stressful vet office. I’m sure I’ll be using them again very soon.

If there were 10 stars I would highlight all of them… I found them on Unilocal and loved that they had so many wonderful comments so I thought I would give them a try. From the very moment I met them I could tell they were animal lovers and my 3 cats would get along with them.
They came over and met my brood the day I called them. You can always tell by the way your animals react to another person if they are good people or not, well, my babies loved them.
I went away for the weekend and they sent pictures of my babies, wow, it was so amazing and fabulous they did that. It made be feel comfortable and able to relax knowing they were being taken care of and in good hands, and I could actually see them in a picture.
Thanks so much and now I know when I need someone to look after my 3 darlings, I will call Sen and Alex — thanks!

Mister Beever’s Paws & Claws continues to rock my world. Sen the superstar vet tech and his amazing life partner and sometimes work assistant, Alex, now come to my house to trim my dogs’ nails once a month. Although my husky mutt is fairly reasonable about it, my pug is extremely difficult and dramatic about getting his nails trimmed. He screams, gets stressed out – it’s a mess at the vet’s office when we try to do it there. Now that Sen and Alex’s come to my house every month, it is so much less stressful for both dogs, and my pug’s nails are no longer overgrown. He’s getting used to having it done, which makes it easier on everyone.
I own a dog walking and boarding business, and sometimes when Mister Beever’s come here for my pets, they do my clients’ nails, clean out their ears, and/​or do their anal glands. They’re quick and the animals love Sen and Alex. I highly highly highly recommend these folks.

Sen and Alex did drop-​in care of my two older kitties while I was on vacation in London this past week, and I couldn’t be more pleased with my experience! They are professional, responsive, and friendly to the max, and my cats love them too.
They were in touch every day of my trip, sending me adorable pictures of my boys or just giving a status update through email. I came back to an apartment that was in better shape than I left it too, with fresh litter in the boxes and no sign of any of the messes I know my cats and their delicate tummies are famous for. Sen and Alex truly go above and beyond!
This was my first time using a professional cat-​sitter, and it was so reassuring to know that if anything went wrong Sen (who is a vet tech!) and Alex would know exactly what to do. I would give them five more stars if I could, and I plan on calling them for all of my future trips!

Sen and Alex are lifesavers!
I had to be in the city all week for orientation, and knew I couldn’t leave my three month old puppy at home alone for 8 – 9 hours. I wanted an experienced, trusty sitter since Gemma is still a baby, so I poked around Unilocal for pet sitters and came across Mister Beever’s.
First, they are very thorough in getting to know your pup, and you! There was a little bit of scheduling conflict and back and forth for my original date, but my housemate ended up staying home that weekend so it was fine. When orientation week rolled around, I contacted Sen and Alex again and they came over to meet Gemma and go over the schedule. The biggest bonus is that Sen is an experienced vet technician, so you can rest assure your pet is in good hands!
Gemma was taken care of for four days, and they made sure to send me plenty of pictures of her on her awesome walks in the redwood park nearby. They also left me little notes to let me know how the walks went, and Gemma even got to meet their dog Bella one day. I will definitely use them again if I’m going out of town or need someone to pop in and check on Gemma for me, and I highly recommend them for all your pet sitting needs!
