1. Jennifer & Jordan L.
“Jennifer and Jordon were amazing! They took my fur babe right in as their own. They were super accommodating with drop off and pick up times as well as communicative for the duration of his stay. They made sure he felt right at home and kept me updated on the activities of the day or any changes they may have had to implement due to weather (i.e. couldnt go to the dog park today because of the rain but we gave him a frozen treat to help expend some energy; we got to the dog park and he wanted to play in all the puddles, we got him all bathed and cleaned up though! Insert adorable picture of my dog wrapped in a towel, haha). I got plenty of picture updates and knew he was in great company. I would highly recommend them for your next boarding needs! I will definitely be using them for any future trips. Thank you for taking such great care of Maverick!♡”
2. Chanakarn & Jakree V.
“My partner and I cannot rave enough about Chanakarn! We feel incredibly fortunate to have found her and her network of friends and family who help care for our pups and kitty! She has been incredible at meeting going above and beyond to meet their needs and gives us daily updates of how they’re doing. We will 100% be using her services again and feel very relieved to know she is in our area.”
3. Michelle K.
“We booked Michelle for a long trip with our senior Lab and couldn't have asked for a better sitter! She was very accommodating to his health needs and sent us regular updates throughout our trip. Our guy came home very happy. Michelle was definitely one of the best dog sitters we have had and we hope to rebook.”
4. Cydney D.
“Our original plans fell through and Cydney was incredibly reliable. Super responsive and conveniently close to where I live. Rudy really enjoyed staying with Cydney. I would highly recommend and will definitely be booking again in the future!”
5. Pablo S.
“Pablo and his wife Clare were so awesome and gentle with our anxious fella Gumbo. Pablo kept us informed of their activities and send pics and videos throughout the stay. We’re so grateful that Gumbo is being loved and cared for while we’re away!”
6. Jennifer L.
“Jennifer was great! She took my cat in last minute and was very accommodating! She has a whole kitty playground at her house that my cat loved every second of. She also has a litter robot box so I didn’t have to bring a separate box/litter which made the exchange easier. She sent soooo many photos and videos that I loved and communicated very well. Jennifer is super sweet & I trusted her well with my cat… Definitely will book again :)”
7. Jessica P.
“Jessica always does an awesome job with my dog. This was the longest we have been apart in a long time but I knew she was in excellent hands and seemed to be having a good time with old and new friends.”
8. Winne L.
“Winnie treated Hercules as if he was her own. She showed him love, cuddled with him, walked him regularly and even gave him a bath so he came home smelling good! She kept me updated throughout his stay with messages and a steady flow of pictures. I highly recommend Winnie to anyone looking for a caring and loving sitter.”
9. Donald R.
“Donald is super reliable, friendly, and flexible. We had to change a trip fairly last-minute to include a longer stay, and then we had flight delays coming back. Donald was perfectly happy to accommodate. And the dog likes him, too!”
10. Sara B.
“After many bookings with Sara it has become clear that she really cares about my dogs and their comfort and well being. I feel very safe with her watching them when I am away. She is very prompt with responses and sends plenty of pictures and updates to boot. I would definitely recommend her services.”
11. Charlene M.
“Charlene was wonderful and took such good care of our kitty while we were away. She sent updates on how everything was going and made sure he was comfortable during his stay with her.”
12. Stephanie M.
“Stephanie is absolutely amazing. She watched both of our dogs for a week and provided daily updates on what they were up to and included some amazing pictures. One of our dogs wasn’t feeling amazing a few of the days and Stephanie went above and beyond to notify us and even offered to take the dog to the vet. Both dogs are properly exhausted after an amazing visit with Stephanie, even teaching me a fun game to play with the dogs! I 100% trust Stephanie with my dogs and honestly can’t put into words how happy I am to have found her.”
13. Alexandra O.
“Alexandra was incredibly sweet and communicative. She sent photos or videos everyday and was very patient with Valerie. I could tell Val had a great time while there.”
14. Danielle M.
“Danielle was very communicative and was very attentive to Zag. She sent lots of pics and vids, said she gave him a bath when he got dirty, and took him out for sunshine and playtime. He got along very well with her super sweet pup as well. Danielle also just seemed very sweet and good with dogs!”
15. Tracey N.
“We've used Tracy twice, and both times were great. Our dogs seemed to warm up quickly, and she has been flexible and responsive.”
16. Tyler G.
“Tyler took really good care of my Scotty! I knew he was in the right hands and that gave me a lot of peace while traveling. They went above and beyond to make sure my ol' pup was comfortable and active. also liked that there was another doggy on site. Sent really cute pics and videos to boot. Highly recommended.”
17. Melina B.
“Melina was great! I really appreciated the proactive communications and updates during Zeke’s stay. He was well cared for and a happy camper upon his return.”
18. Juliana A.
“Juliana was absolutely wonderful! She gave Buddy so much love and I could tell when I picked him up that he had established a bond with her. :) I recently lost our my furry bestie of 16 years and Buddy was with him over 11 years so I was really nervous about leaving him with someone new since we’re both a little fragile but Juliana was incredibly gracious to us both and her care allowed me to be away for a week long work trip stress free. I got pics and a video and each one Buddy was living his best life. :) Great communication from her throughout the whole process. I highly recommend Juliana’s services!”
19. Mary C.
“Mary was exceptional with our pup Enzo! She was very communicative with us through out the day with updates and photos which comforted me knowing he was doing great. Mary did not only watch and feed Enzo, but took him to the dog park (his favorite place), and along to run errands with her. I would 100% recommend Mary to take care of your fur baby!”
20. Jeff & Beth K.
“Jeff and Beth are the best! They kept me updated all the time about my dog’s adventures and were kind enough to make sure Shiryu was always comfortable. Great experience. Peace of mind while I’m traveling. Would definitely like to take Shiryu back next time!”

What are some dog-friendly parks in Oakland?
With the temperate weather in Oakland, it's always a good time to get outside with your dog, whether you're a dog sitter or owner. Redwood Regional Park is located in the hills east of downtown Oakland, and has tons of trails and open space for dogs to run. They are allowed to be in the entire park on-leash, and are even allowed off-leash in some of the undeveloped areas. Sibley Volcanic Regional Preserve is another wooded park with lots of trails to explore on leash. Off-leash activity is also allowed in the less-developed areas of the park. Lake Merritt is closer to downtown Oakland and is a great place for dog sitters to take a stroll with small, medium, or large dogs on leash.
