Doggy Day Care in Columbia Gardens, Oakland, CA

“Our dog Lyra has stayed with Natalia for daycare twice now. She is quick to respond, provides lots of updates, and takes great care of our dog. Lyra came home happy and tired both times. She has a backyard for the dogs to play in, and her front yard is also fenced for extra security. I'd recommend Natalia and plan to book with her again!”

About: I grew up in a household where we always had cats and dogs, and it was always my favorite task to care for them! Now, I have a sweet dog and our newest addition, a rescue cat. Our home has two lush green lawns where our pets love to play. Because I work from home, I’m available to nurture and care for my pets all day long. I work remotely from home, so I am free all day to walk pets, entertain pets, and take pets out to potty. Because I already own a dog and cat, caring for others’ will align perfectly with my schedule. I have a large fenced yard with a grassy lawn where your fur baby can sun bathe, run, and play as desired. My own fur baby would keep your dog company, or if you prefer, I can also crate your dog as desired.

“Jasmine and Gabriel watched my 4-year-old dog and 3-month old puppy, while my husband and I were at Disney for the day. They took great care of them, and sent us photos during that time, which was very appreciated. We would let them watch our babies again, thank you guys for watching them!”

About: I've been a devoted dog owner since 2019, and I know firsthand how important it is to find someone trustworthy who will treat your pet with genuine care and attention. You can expect clear, consistent communication with photos and updates so you have complete peace of mind. I'm attentive to each dog's unique personality, routines, and preferences. I have a patient, calm presence that helps pets feel comfortable and safe. I work from home so I'll be attentive and have a flexible schedule. Whether your dog loves long walks or prefers a leisurely stroll, needs lots of playtime or just wants a companion at home, I'll make sure they're happy, safe, and well-cared for. I treat every pet with the same love and responsibility I give my own. Your dog's wellbeing and your peace of mind are my top priorities. I work from home so I'll be present full time. I take my dog on 2-3 walks per day and have a fully fenced in home so your dog will get as much outdoor time as you'd like. I have a small dog of my own who's friendly and well-socialized. My home is pet-proofed and secure with a safe space for dogs to relax. I'll make sure your dog gets individual attention, regular potty breaks, exercise, and feels welcomed and comfortable. I'm happy to discuss compatibility and do a meet-and-greet beforehand to ensure it's a good fit for everyone.

“Baxter had a great day with Kim and her human and dog crew. :) She sent pics with fun commentary several times (much appreciated -- especially on the first day!. Baxter was wiped out in the evening after a day of play. Kim is clearly a pro at dog care. She was very engaged in our meet and greet and asked lots of good questions. She's very pleasant to chat with and communicates proactively. Looking forward to Baxter's next stay!”

“Chad took excellent care of my young and energetic greyhound with a lot of separation anxiety. When I picked her up she was happy and excited, but she didn’t show any signs of distress. Prior to my dog’s stay at his home Chad had invited us over for a meet&greet and he took a lot of time to inquire about my dog’s character and behaviors, which made me very confident that things would be alright. Chad was also willing to accommodated my travel schedule. I am happy with the experience and hope he will be available next time I have to go out of town.”

“She is a total sweetie and very accommodating! My dog can get shy and anxious around new people and other dogs and Julia took great care of her adapting to what will work best to ease some of my girls anxiety. Sent lots of pictures and updates as well, we already booked her for more overnights as well as drop ins! She is very flexible with her schedule and meeting her clients needs. Thank you Julia!”

About: Take care of dogs part time for friends for many years. I have formed special bonds with them and love to see their excitement when they come over. No one throws a party for you when you get home like a dog. I love training puppies and taking them for walks and playing with them as well. I work/consult from home, occasionally need to leave for a couple hours to go to the gym or the store. I’m pretty active and like to go on daily walks. I’m willing to come over and take your dog out for a walk if they are comfortable with me doing so. If you’re able to bring the dogs to my home for an extended stay, I will provide a loving safe environment for them, with frequent potty breaks and one to two long walks per day. I’ll follow your instructions on what is best for your pet.

“Tatiana is a nice, sweet, and pleasant lady. She welcomed us even though I was late for a scheduled drop off time. She answered my questions right away and I understood how she spent her day with Tatiana’s care. She took my dog out to the park and walked her around the park. I know my dog enjoyed staying with her because she seemed tired when I picked her up and went to sleep right after we got home.”

“Kai and I enjoyed Chawntea so much that we rebooked. As a first time furbaby mom it’s hard to just leave my baby with anyone. I am so glad to have found her.”

“Emerson and his family were great sitters for Bernie. Communication was strong, he even sent pictures and a video to let me know how things were going. We meet the day before so that they would be familiar to my dog. It was a good match from the very beginning. We will definitely use them again.”

Robert Q.

“Baxter has stayed Andrea and her pups twice for daycare, with hopefully more days to come! Andrea has a gentle, kind spirit and seems very attuned to a dog's needs. At our meet & greet, she asked great questions about Baxter and his routines. She provided fun updates with pics a few times a day -- much appreciated!”
