Dog Boarding in Columbia Gardens, Oakland

“Another great stay at Charlene’s while I was away on travel for work. Outstanding peace of mind! My munchkin was happy to see me, but almost didn’t want to go home.”

“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.”

“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!”

“If you’re thinking of booking your dog’s stay with Mari, just do it! Mari was great with Enzo and took very good care of him during his one week stay. Mari is very kind and patient. She sent lovely photos and videos everyday of Enzo going on walks with Franccesco, of him playing with toys and/or just hanging out with other doggie friends. Mari also kept me updated of how he was doing throughout his stay and gave some recommendations to help Enzo out with his bowel movement. I would definitely book again!”

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.”

“Luna was immediately comfortable around Ogechi and her dogs! They have a great place with lots of room to play and roam, and it seems like the whole family loves dogs - basically a doggy heaven. Ogechi sent updates and photos to let us know how Luna was doing and she was very helpful with communication prior to Luna's stay. So happy to have found a new sitter for our girl.”

“Zo is a great communicator and keeps us updated of our dog's stay. Her pictures are always appreciated, and she is able to handle our big dog with care.”

“I let Sam know my dog is fearful around strangers and she offered to do a meet and greet. She was patient with my dog at drop-off and allowed her to warm up at her own pace. We received daily pictures/updates. I picked up my dog with a wagging tail and a smile on her face. Recommend!!”

“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.”

“Paule was so sweet with aviva! Super communicative and friendly. Really love your space, super dog friendly. Will definitely book again”

“Alby loves staying with Nicole and Iris, and we’d recommend them to anyone looking for a great sitter! She was great about sending pictures and videos so I knew alby was having a great and fulfilling stay.”

“Dora was amazing! I have a 14 year old Jack Russell and she took such good care of him. I received constant updates and she responded immediately if I reached out. My dog Ziggy came back home very happy! Definitely recommend her and will use her services again. Thanks Dora!”

“We had our older lab stay with Allie while we were abroad for 11 days. Beginning with our Meet and Greet, I could tell that Allie was a warm and gentle person with a love of animals. Allie sent us numerous photos and updates demonstrating that our decision to select her was the right one. She also handled a minor medical emergency with calm and care, keeping us well-informed. Her dog Brody became a new buddy to our guy and completed the package of welcome into Allie’s home. We highly recommend Allie for your pet care needs and we will be using her again in the future.”

“Lauren was an incredible dog sitter for our dog Kermit. Every day she sent updates and pictures of their adventures. She took him for plenty of long walks and even let him snuggle up with her on the couch with lots of cozy blankets. We were so happy with the care and attention she gave our dog. We will definitely ask Lauren to dog sit in the future. I recommend her to anyone who is looking for a great, reliable sitter, who is communicative and caring.”

“Natalia was awesome! She was communicative, sent lots of pictures and videos, and was overall splendid. I have a semi-anxious puppers and she updated me on bathroom, eating, and fireworks throughout her stay. I will 1000% recommend Natalia to anyone looking for someone who truly cares about watching your fur baby.”

“Alexandra was great with our kitty! She sent me pictures and videos the entire time we were away and I could tell the cat was happy and well cared for. It was a great relief during our long time away to know Tiger was in good hands. Communication was easy and prompt as well.”

“Roger loved staying with Kelly! He came home so happy, well-fed, and clean!! Kelly has a true love for animals and it shows. She provided us with updates, photos, and videos and they were a treat! Highly recommend :)”

“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.”

“Lilian watched my pup for a little over a week and took such great care of him! I got daily updates/pictures of him. He got to explore new trails and make plenty of puppy friends. I highly recommend Lilian. Thank you again for taking such great care of Sage!”
