Dog Boarding in El Sobrante, CA

“Our Shepherd/Husky loved staying with Allora and her family. He loved being able to play with their dog Boba, chasing each other around in their large outdoor backyard. Allora was very attentive and sent pictures every day, keeping us up to date with all the activities they were up to, which included walks every day, and being involved in family activities. I will definitely choose to leave him with Allora in the future too.”

“This whole process of pet sitting was unfamiliar and a whole new experience for us but Nadine welcomed us into her home like family which made it all easy. Romeo felt so comfortable during our arrival that as she opened the door he let himself right in and didn't look back. Romeo stayed for 5 nights and Nadine kept us updated regularly communicating by messages and sending us memorable photos of him and her pups while on our vacation. Romeo looked so comfortable and happy to be part of the group. We felt our dog was being well taken care of as Romeo was her own. Her family and pups did a great job keeping him comfortable and happy which put us at ease while we were thousands of miles away from home. I highly recommend Nadine and will be going back to her in the future! Thank you so much!!”

“Thank you Ashish! It’s not easy leaving your pet with strangers, and Maya is not the easiest dog to handle , but you were very kind and patient with her. Thanks also for the photos and video, it was so nice seeing her at ease in your home. We will definitely use you again in the future.”

“Julie and Adam were AMAZING! They took such incredible care of Axel and we could tell he felt right at home with them. They have a lovely garden that he was able to enjoy - and they even gifted us some delicious greens that they’d grown! What gems they are! Axe is looking forward to seeing them again soon.”

“Tiffany was great for my dog. She continuously gave me updates pictures and videos and told me how my dog was doing each day. I definitely will be bringing my dog back to her.”

“Coco stayed with Kiarash and Sky for 16 days while we were traveling abroad. As soon as we got out of the car, Coco was very excited to see Kiarash. We received many updates and photos/videos which we appreciated so much! Kiarash even cooked Coco homemade meals and shared some of Sky’s treats when Coco’s ran out. Thank you, Kiarash for making Coco and us feel comfortable while we were away. Leaving one’s pet for this long isn’t easy so we are glad to have found a very reliable pet sitter for Coco who he also adores and is excited to see! This was Coco’s third time staying with them and will certainly not be the last.”

“We have had the privilege of Margarita taking care of our little fur baby, Mochi, on two occasions so far. She shows dedication and love to our little one that has allowed us to travel with a wonderful peace of mind. Not only does Margarita provide regular updates but her own pack of friendly pups have welcomed Mochi giving her friends while we are away. Thank you Margarita!”

About: Hello, I'm Ludmila (Lida), your dedicated pet sitter and dog walker. I love animals of all kinds and am here to provide exceptional care for your furry, scaly, and feathery friends. I offer a range of services, including pet sitting, overnight care, and boarding. Whether you have dogs, cats, birds, fish, or even lizards and reptiles, I am committed to ensuring their well-being while you're away. My home is a safe and loving environment where pets can feel comfortable. For dog owners, I also provide dog walking services. It's important to keep our four-legged companions active and happy, and I’m here to help with that too. If you're looking for a reliable pet sitter who truly cares, please feel free to message me. I would love to discuss how I can assist you and your pets! I am a homeschooling mom of 2, working from home. My schedule is very flexible. I can give your pets all the attention they need. I have a small fenced yard and two friendly black cats. My daughters are homeschooled, so they'll be around as well. All three of us love animals and currently volunteer at a local animal shelter.

“Second time we used Maria. She and her son are very loving and kind. Perfect place for our dog Hattie who likes kids and lounging in the sun.”

“Michael was flexible with drop off and pickup times and was very communicative throughout the process. He sent daily status updates and photos of our pup, so we could rest assured that she was being well-cared for. He took our pup on multiple walks per day along with his dog, and made sure she had plenty of outside time. He made us feel comfortable that our pup was in good hands.”

“We deeply appreciate that Scooter is well loved and taken care of. We never have to worry if he will be okay. Yuko and pack treats him like their own. We are thrilled to say we have found Scooter’s trusted & preferred people to leave him with when needed.”

About: About Me I'm a devoted dog lover who specializes in caring for reactive and anxious dogs - the ones that are often misunderstood. Working from home gives me the flexibility to provide the consistent, patient care these special dogs need. My own journey started with my 6.5-year-old lab-pit mix who taught me everything about reactivity, high prey drive, and anxiety. Though she doesn't live with me full-time (which I miss terribly!), she's shown me incredible progress over the years - she's much calmer now, can get along with other dogs with proper introductions, and mostly just wants to nap and be loved. My partner's 6-year-old standard poodle is a certified service dog who's wonderful with dogs of all temperaments and serves as a calming presence. Why I Do This Having lived with a reactive dog, I know the frustration of finding someone who truly understands your dog's needs without judgment. I want to be that person for other dog families - someone who sees past the "difficult" label to the loving dog underneath. My Approach: • I always carry high-value treats during walks to redirect and reward good behavior • I'm experienced with reactivity management and reading dog's body language • I believe in structured socialization: supervised co-existence rather than forced play, with short play sessions (15-30 minutes) followed by decompression time • I avoid dog parks to prevent overwhelming situations and maintain control • I'm comfortable with senior care and daily medication routines My Setup I prefer starting with walks to learn your dog's personality, triggers, and preferences. I take one dog at a time for boarding to ensure your pet gets my complete attention and isn't overwhelmed. My partner's gentle service dog provides a calming role model when appropriate. I plan my schedule weeks in advance, so early booking is appreciated for the best care. Working from home gives me the flexibility to be present throughout the day, which is perfect for providing consistent care and attention. I love having pets around while I work - they actually make my day more enjoyable! I do play sports some evenings, but I always plan my schedule around any pets I'm caring for. If I'm boarding a dog or have a pet sitting commitment, I make sure my evening activities don't interfere, or I'll arrange my sports schedule well in advance so there's no conflict. Your pet's routine and needs always come first. I treat every pet like they're part of my own family. My backyard is completely fenced, so dogs can play safely while I keep a close eye on them - I'm always right there with them, not just watching from a window. I love that my neighborhood is so quiet and peaceful, and we're lucky to be just a short walk from the beautiful Bay Trail, which is perfect for dogs who love longer walks or new scenery. Your pet's safety and happiness are my top priorities, and I make sure they're never left unsupervised.

“Mariana was an amazing dog sitter! She watched my dog Dahlia at her home for a few days while I was out of town and sent very detailed updates every day and lots of cute photos. She went above and beyond with all the details and made my shy pup feel so comfortable. She kept Dahlia by her side the whole time and took her to work so she wouldn't be alone all day. She even noticed that Dahlia wasn't drinking enough water and added water to her food to make sure she was hydrated. I can't recommend her enough and will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”
