Dog Boarding in Castlemont, Oakland

“Chad was lovely with our two dogs - dealt calmly with our nervous older boy, and the younger dog had a good time playing outside. Very accommodating with a lot of last-minute rescheduling, and the atmosphere is just what our dogs feel comfortable: a family home, where they can nap on the couch and potter about.”

“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!”

“Charlene is the sweetest!!! I was recommended to her and so happy she was able to watch Walter. I loved that she kept me updated and sent photos, made me feel so much better being away from him. She gave him so much love and made sure he felt comfortable. Walter is excited for his next stay with Charlene!”

“Megan was great! Recommend to everyone and will definitely rebook myself! Our dog was so happy during her stay and Megan was very responsive, kept us updated throughout and was flexible when our schedule changed!”

About: I grew up with dogs all my life and can’t express how much I love having and taking care of them. I’ve had two Chihuahuas for 8 years and 18 years, Siberian Husky for 13 years and recently German/Australian Shepards for 14 years. My husband and I had a household full of love with our dogs. Our German Shepards both recently passed last year and it was tough. What helped us cope and go about our day was our newly adopted 3 year old pup. He is a Yorkie/Chihuahua and just the sweetest boy! We’re so happy he’s in our lives. We can’t wait to love and treat your pet like a part of our family! I am home everyday and have the time to take care and play with your dog. We live across from a park, which is convenient for multiple walks and not too far from the main local dog park at the Marina. We often take walks around the neighborhood as well. Our 3 year old pup enjoys all the walk time he gets and I’m sure your dog will too. We also have a fenced yard and supervise all dogs that want to play in the yard. We allow your dog to sit on our couch or dog cot as we want them to feel cozy and at home.

“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.”

“Zo was so good to my two dogs. She sent updates and pics everyday. They were calm, clean and happy when I went to pick them up. Highly recommend her.”

“Allie and Travis were so kind to my sensitive dog. Allie gave a lot of updates on my pup and was super flexible with drop off/pick ups. She is a true animal lover, and she has a beautiful backyard full of plants and veggies. I’d recommend them to friends & family!”

“Sarah was amazing. Such a lovely person to work with. She listened to what I had told her about Nixie with a steady ear and provided solutions to counter those concerns. Sarah does this full time, 24/7 with a plethora of knowledge of animals. She provided daily updates on nixie and her behaviors, especially with the other animals she was boarding along side Nixie. Her home is set up very nicely with plenty of room for all doggos to roam and play. Nixie looked sad to be going home, but I am sure we will be seeing Sarah in the future. You don’t want to overlook her, she truly is amazing.”

“Suzanne was wonderful with our dog! I loved her beautiful, enclosed in backyard, and her excellent communication. Suzanne we will see you again.!”

“Being that it was Mila’s first boarding experience, I was a little apprehensive beforehand. However, they went above and beyond to to provide updates and photos on how Mila was doing. And I know she had the best time with Berkeley! Thank you for taking such wonderful care of Mila.”

“Alexandra was great. My dogs took to her, her husband, and her dog immediately. She was easy to communicate with and sent pictures every day, which I loved! I felt at ease knowing that my dogs were in good hands while I was away. I'll definitely be looking to her again to care for my dogs when I need a sitter!”

“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.”

“Dwight was AMAZING to my little friend Deuce! He kept me updated with pictures & videos which kept me at ease. Thank you so much Dwight! I appreciate you for allowing me to extend the booking as well.”

“Diana was a fantastic dog sitter! Our dog is large & somewhat difficult to handle but Diana was up to the challenge. She provided a lot of attention and did some training as well. I highly recommend her!!”

“Elina is a loving pet owner and a great pet caregiver as well. She has watched our fur baby on multiple occasions only as a favor and during those times, our baby Beau has learned new tricks and unlearned bad ones. What makes Elina special is her ability to communicate with the little ones - they listen and they learn. That kind of affinity with fur people makes a huge difference. I would trust her with my kids - both types of mammals.”

“Lindsey was amazing! We booked with Lindsey super last minute after our usual boarding facility was booked. She was super quick to respond, allowed us to do a quick meet and greet, and took great care of Kingston. Kingston is typically a shy dog and doesn’t often go to new houses, but felt comfortable and made himself right at home! She sent lots of pics and is just a great person all around :)”

“Great experience with Robyn. My dog Barley was very happy when I picked him up. Robyn updated me with pictures while we were away. He was exercised regularly and taken care of really well. Super happy with his care.”

“Sara is amazing! She is very kind, loving, thoughtful, and attentive. Ruffles is not an easy dog! He’s highly anxious and kind of a bully, so I appreciate that she is firm, consistent, and most of all - loving! - with him. Thank you for taking care of my baby while I was away! I have peace of mind knowing he’s in Sara’s care.”

“An amazing family. They all greeted me and my dog at the door. Their personalities and caring was amazing. They sent me updates during my trip. They also went above and beyond by giving me a health update when I picked her up. (My dog likes to eat plants) AND they texted me the day after. Super happy!”
