Dog Boarding in Bella Vista, Oakland

“She was phenomenal. Dealt with both of my stubborn dog and cat in great stride. Gave me lots of updates and really cared for my guys well. The dog is still sleeping so definitely got plenty of exercise. Highly recommend.”

“Kelly provided the highest caliber of care for our french bulldog, Luna. Kelly is kind, caring, and so thorough. She went above-and-beyond to ensure Luna was well taken care of while I was out of town for the weekend. Thank you, Kelly!”

“Thanks Zina!”

“Timothy and Katherine were above and beyond. They watched our doggo for 10 days while we were away on holiday. Daily updates and photos, and always immediately responsive. They took our girl out on adventures and made sure she was well cared for. Mind at ease the whole time. Highly recommend.”

“Shadow had a fantastic time with Jeff and his family! We appreciated being able to do a meet and greet beforehand to make sure he would be a good fit, and we really enjoyed getting photos of him throughout the weekend. We were able to enjoy our time away knowing he was in good hands. We look forward to having Shadow stay over with Jeff and his family the next time we go out of town. Thanks again!”

“Donald watched our dog for 16 days, and sent us photos of walks, meals, naps, and playtime every day. She was very well treated and in great condition when we got her back. She shared time with several other dogs, usually 1:1, and got on fine with all of them. We would happily leave our dog with Donald again. :)”

“Princess was right at home with Mary and Murphy. Mary sent losts of pictures and updates while I was out to sea. I knew she was being well taken care of. I will definitely reach out to Mary again for dog sitting in future.”

“Truly the best sitter I’ve come across. She communicates effectively, is flexible within reason when it comes to scheduling, and I can tell my dog loves being with her and Gizmo! Thank you Selena for caring for my baby as if she were your own.”

“Sara was great! Super responsive, lots of pics, and our dog got along amazingly with hers. Would highly recommend!”

“Ashley and her husband helped me out when I was in a bind and needed a sitter on short notice ! They were kind and sent to many pictures and updates 13/10, definitely would book again.”

“Kara was really gentle and sweet with our senior dog and took good care of her. But I was the one who initiated all of the communication and had to ask for a few pictures throughout the 2 day stay.”

“Chad & fam were great! Chad was very communicative and caring for our pup, Nova. She seemed like she had a great time staying with him and we'll definitely be booking again!”

“Kim and Jeff are great! I am very impressed with their care routine, and they are clearly experienced in caring for dogs. My dog Mason had a great time, and I got several pictures and even a short video clip while I was away. I already have another stay booked with them for next month!”

“Keara took care of our dog for a week. She was awesome. Sent us lots of videos and pictures. She was loving and caring with him. Sent us updates, great communication. We felt so comfortable leaving him with Keara.”

“Jane took the best care of Fiona! She took her to the park and on great walks and sent super cute photos to keep me updated. She even went the extra mile when Fiona had some tummy issues and I deeply appreciate that.”

“Francesca is a dog whisperer and sent from the heavens! If you are reading this, take this as your sign to book Francesca if she is available! She cares deeply about animals, and truly gets to know your pet. She loves dogs so much and it shows. Luna was so happy with her, and they went on a ton of adventures at the dog park, and on hiking trails. Luna is extremely high energy and Francesca can handle all of it! Can’t recommend her more, and hope that she can always watch Luna when we’re ever away. Thank you for everything!”

“Meshaal was fortunately available last-minute and communicated well about what was needed to care well for my dog. Happy to report that my doggo is clearly well cared for! Thank you, Meshaal! We’ll be in touch”

“Kat is an exceptional pet care giver and is very sweet, kind, and thoughtful. When I took a break from pet sitting in 2022, I passed off my recurring clients to Kat because I knew Kat was someone they could trust. Each of these clients had only lovely things to say. I’ve seen Kat care for pups and cats of all kinds. You will be happy with Kat taking care of your pets!”

“Lauren has been the most amazing care taker to our dog Zorro! She bonded with him immediately, paid attention to his special needs, and gives him an incredible stay everytime we've dropped him off. I can tell Zorro is not ready to leave when we pick him up. Totally worth every penny for the peace of mind and security my wife and I have knowing that our little guy is well cared for at Lauren's.”

About: Having raised rescue dogs of my own for the past 17 years, I'm acutely aware that each dog has their own backstory, unique needs, and special personality. I strive to care for your family member the same way you do, by thoroughly crafting a care plan for each pup under my watch. I'm lucky enough to be able to care for your furry loved one full time. This means I can maintain their routine, whether that involves administering medication, more frequent walks/bathroom breaks, or specific bedtime activities. Below are what you can expect for each service type that I offer. In addition, I will work with each of my pet parents to ensure that our care plan is customized for your furry family member's unique needs including their likes and dislikes as well as their individual personality.
