Dog Boarding in Joaquin Miller Park, Oakland

“Chad was great with our pups. It's such a relief to find a good sitter and Chad is one of those people! He has a great place with a big backyard and nice house for the dogs to romp around in. He was very communicative both during our meet and greet as well as during their first stay with him. One of our dogs is a bit skittish with people but warmed right up to Chad, which is a testament to him and his ability to make her feel at ease. We already have another date on the calendar with him. Highly recommended.”

“Lauren was wonderful—friendly, constantly in communication with us, and took excellent care of our dog. We will be using her again and highly recommend her services!”

“Jeff and Beth took AMAZING care of our pup, Penny, during a recent 10-day trip. We got lots of pictures and updates that made it clear Penny was having the time of her life going on walks and hikes, having playtime, and getting lots of cuddles from the whole family. We'll absolutely be booking with Jeff and Beth again!”

“Best pet sitter in the East Bay, Philly was walked and well-taken care of, updates were amazing and adorable, Kelly even gave me her harness and included dried sweet potato treat sticks for Philly, 10/10 recommend. Thank you Kelly!”

“Very kind! I chose cat boarding since I was moving and I didn’t want my boys to get out. When I went to drop them off, I was given all the time I needed to say bye to my babies.”

“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.”

“Ogechi took amazing care of my big girl, is very communicative and sent constant updates. My pup had an amazing time and would highly recommend!”

“Cassandra is awesome! Second time we’ve done boarding for boarding our high energy dog who requires 4 pills each day. Totally trust Cassandra and will be using her for boarding and walking again soon. Thank again! We appreciate it!”

“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.”

“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!”

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 25. I love training dogs and taken classes and read up on the subject. I enjoy reinforcing what my dogs have learned and adding a little more gradually every day. I know the importance of paying attention, picking up cues, and acting promptly when needed. I'm an excellent communicator and am happy to speak with you anytime before and during you dog's stay with us. I'll also provide you with regular updates of how we're all doing. I work at home and have a large, enclosed backyard and an enclosed courtyard in front. I have two wonderful dogs and let them out every few hours. I am open to letting your pup sleep with my small dog and me — if that's your preference and the dog is comfortable with it. My children are grown. We have a routine with our dogs for when we eat and go outside. I can follow any instructions you have for your food, medicines, crating, dog beds, and treats. I will keep files with detailed notes of your instructions and what I learned about your pet during every stay, as we continue to get to know each other. My goal is for your dog to feel safe and happy so you can enjoy what you're doing and relax knowing that your four-legged baby is well taken care of.

“Francisco and Sara are terrific hosts. On our initial visits it was immediately evident that our beloved dog would fit right into their household. They are definitely dog people, and our dog knew it right away. He made himself at home and they were very happy to have him. They sent pictures of their daily activities and posted updates. When we picked our dog up, I could tell that there was a reciprocal bond of appreciation. I absolutely recommend Sara and Francisco as Rover hosts.”

“Winnie went above and beyond with me. Not only was she so communicative with me on Kobe, sending me pictures and updates on him. She also was extremely flexible on the pick up since my flight was delayed for hours resulting in me flying back late. Winnie is great with Kobe, he’s always so happy when he’s there and gets excited when we come by. Thank you again for everything Winnie.”

“Kit was amazing - it was our first time traveling without our puppy and I was worried how she’d do but Kit kept us informed, sent us pics and most importantly took great care of her.”

“Pablo was wonderful with my dog Tubby! He sent an update with pictures every day. Tubby is usually afraid of strangers but warmed up to him instantly. I would definitely recommend Pablo!”

“Our Miss Lexie had a wonderful stay. Chawntea treated our baby girl like family. She made new furry friends, which helps her socialization skills. Chawntea was so flexible with our ever-changing travel plans. Shout out to Southwest. She sent updates and pics while we were away, which brought smiles to our faces. Without a doubt, we will be using her services in the future.”

“Truly not enough good things to say about Ethan and our experience with him caring for our dog, Taco. From the beginning, Ethan was super responsive and easy to communicate with him. We right away felt at ease leaving our dog with Ethan and it just worked out perfectly. Every day, Ethan sent us videos and pictures, and it was clear he was loving on our dog as much as he does his own. I’m usually a worry wart when it comes to leaving my dog with anyone. Not this time. And Taco even came home smelling fresh, Ethan bathed him before pickup! More importantly, Taco was a happy pup.”

“Megan is such a great dog sitter for our aging pup! Excellent communication, abundant updates and pictures —- would give more stars if I could!”

“I was so delighted with this couple who were lovely and took great care of my dog. He had a stunning backyard to relax in, he had other dogs to play with, and I was updated daily with cute pictures and stories. I would highly recommend Pei Li and my dog would too.”

“Ulunma was a dream come true! My dog was happy to temporarily become part of her family. Ulunma was very responsive to communication from me and regularly sent me pictures of my dog. I was able to relax and enjoy my vacation knowing that my dog was in great hands. I will surely use her again!”
