“Mariola was fantastic. She is super nice and very communicative. Bailey took a day to adjust to the new setting but she did a great job making her comfortable. The rest of the days she was normal thanks to Mariola. I would definitely use or recommend Mariola.”
“Sherry is an AMAZING dog sitter!! I trusted her to care for my sweet but nervous 50lb girl, Ellie, and I could not have asked for a better sitter. Sherry was so thorough, she sent plenty of updates throughout and put me at ease! She was super responsive to my dog’s needs, and I could see Ellie just melting and falling in love with her through the updates. She’s got a lovely, clean and safe apartment and she is obviously someone who knows dogs well. I would trust Sherry with dog sitting ANY day! Highly recommend.”
“Joann was fantastic! She was reliable and communicative. My pup was happy and well-cared for when I got back—couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend!”
“Maia was great! She made time to meet Stella beforehand, learn about her quirks, and introduce her slowly to her doc. She walked stella multiple times a day and was very responsive to questions and sent pictures. we'd definitely have stella stay with Maia again!”
“Albina took great care of our sensitive dog Frida and shared nice updates with her traveling humans. Thanks for giving her a chance to explore new corners of the neighborhood.”
“Robert and Brian took excellent care of our girl! Communication was thoughtful and reliable from the start and I could tell from the pictures and video they sent that she was happy and comfortable in their home. It is such a gift to go on vacation and be confident that your beloved pet is being well cared for.”
“We can’t recommend Megan and Jenny enough. We booked an extended stay for our pup and they provided us with regular pictures and updates. Our dog came back happy and healthy, and we won’t hesitate to rebook in the future!”
“Kristen is wonderful! She was a life saver agreeing to care for our pup Frances on short notice and set up a last minute meet and greet beforehand. Seeing her own two happy and adorable dogs, I totally trusted her with Frances, and she did not disappoint! She was very communicative throughout the weekend, sending updates each morning and evening with photos, which was so reassuring. Thank you so much, Kristen!!!”
“Lindsey was the best! Super responsive, sent us a lot of pics and took such good care of our dogs, we knew they were in such good hands!! Would highly recommend booking with her!!”
“Meagan took such wonderful care of our Kaya girl! She sent so many videos/pictures and updates on how she was doing throughout the whole stay. Kaya particularly loved playing with Rocko and the two seemed to have really bonded! All this made us feel so comfortable knowing she was in very good hands!”
About: I’ve cared for pups for friends, family, and neighbors, and have also had the joy of fostering dogs. I love getting to know each dog’s personality and giving them plenty of love, attention, and cuddles. I will send all of my clients high-quality (and cute!) daily photo/video updates 🎞️ My schedule is pretty flexible! I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, boarding, and house sitting throughout the week, and most weekends as well. I’m in class Wednesday evenings from 6–9pm and one weekend a month, but otherwise I have plenty of availability to spend time with your pup. I live in a dog-friendly apartment with my 6-year-old Frenchie, who gets along great with other dogs. In order to ensure the comfort and safety of all parties, I have a strict policy of only boarding ONE dog at a time. Your pup will get lots of individual attention while also getting plenty of doggy playtime with my super-friendly pup.
“Josephine was awesome! Sent me daily updates and cute pictures, and took my dog on walks and snuggled with him. He clearly had a great time and I’d happily book with Josephine again!”
“Hank has looked after my dog multiple times and I love how attentive he is with understanding any specific care instructions I had and kept me updated throughout. I feel such at ease because of it. Hank is one of my most trusted dog boarders!”
“Fantastic! She was available and home with my pups most of the time, very quick and responsive when I messaged her during my trip, sent me LOTS of pictures (which I asked her to do :) and she overall just made leaving my babies so much less stressful. My biggest thing was knowing they were safe and someone was home with them over 4th of July, (my girl is afraid of fireworks). She sent me pictures of her snuggly and relaxed on 4th of July night and her XL fence made me feel very safe with my Great Pyrenees, whom are escape artists. She was cool and ready for the hair and drooling, and even let me drop off at 5AM. Overall, I will be using Shareese again and would highly recommend.”
“Derek and Stella did a great job taking care of our dog, and made the pick up and drop off really easy. We appreciated the responsiveness and communication!”
“Sarah was an absolute rockstar. Our dog is a large doberman-staffy mix who came to us with isolation distress and dog-selective reactivity, so it has been quite difficult to find competent care for him when we go out of town. Sarah was so kind to our boy, took him on daily adventures, and gave him the best care we could hope for. This weekend was the most confident we have felt about leaving our dog in someone else's care in the two years that we have had him, and that peace of mind allowed us to genuinely enjoy our trip. Our dog was so relaxed and comfortable at pickup that he had to be convinced to leave. Sarah is a sitter who both truly enjoys animals and intricately understands how to meet their needs. I would highly recommend Sarah's services and would certainly hire her again without hesitation.”
“Aline and Joel watched my little buddy for 5 days, and my dog had an amazing time! We did a meet and greet a couple weeks before at their place, and that went well so we proceeded with 5 nights of boarding while I was out of town. They sent great pics, videos and updates each day so I knew he was having a good time and being well cared for. I was able to bring my dogs bed, blankets, toys so he had everything he needed to feel at home. Aline and Joel were fantastic to work with throughout the whole process and I will definitely look for them again.”
About: I’ve grown up with cats and kittens my whole life and continued adopting them as an adult — animals have always been at the heart of my home! I’ve raised and trained a puppy from 8 weeks old, cared for up to 3 medium-sized dogs at a time, and have experience housing and caring for rabbits, birds, and reptiles too. 🐶🐱🐰🦜🐸🦎 Your pet will be welcomed into a warm, loving home where they’ll be treated like family! I’m also a pet parent myself — my 1-year-old pup and 9-year-old cat are both incredibly friendly with people and other animals and absolutely love making new friends. They’re always excited to welcome new furry guests! 🐕🐈 I believe pet sitting is so much more than just filling a food bowl twice a day — it’s about being real company for your pet. Surrounded by cozy blankets, their favorite toys from home, and plenty of love, your pet will feel comfortable and right at ease from the moment they arrive. I’m happy to provide multiple daily walks and plenty of undivided attention throughout the day!
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Emeryville is $75

I was in need for a sitter for my sweet Kiko for a week while I got hitched in Hawaii. Danielle and Joel took such great care of Kiko, she practically cried a bit when we took her home as if she didn’t want to leave. She got along with their dogs well and enjoyed their home and backyard. They also made the time to share photos with us everyday. I am happy we found Danielle and Joel. We will definitely use them again in the future!
Liza was incredible! She took time to get to know Taika, understand her preferences and habits and they had a fabulous time together. Taika got tons of long walks and adventures and was clearly well cared for at home as well. Liza was very communicative, sharing photos and updates daily. Taika was so lucky to get to spend the time with Liza!
We had friends come to town with their beloved 16-year old pooch, and since we have a very nervous and territorial cat, Leslie was a great option for us for doggie care. She was so loving and kind and very responsive to their dog's special needs. He was a little anxious about being separated from his humans, and Leslie really went above and beyond to make him feel more comfortable, from taking him on extra walks to tire him out, to letting him curl up on her bed to make him feel more at home. We recommend Leslie very highly. She has wonderful, calm, loving energy and her home is tidy and welcoming, in an incredibly dog-friendly neighborhood with an amazing park, too.
Jo was amazing with Kuma! She’s so warm and inviting, is very empathetic with dogs, amazing communication, and very thoughtful. She took time to meet Kuma before the stay and was very easy. During the stay took pictures and shared updates every day. Would 100% work with her again!
Evan was flexible from the beginning, which I really appreciated. He is prompt to respond to messages and sent me lots of pictures and videos of my doggo while I was away. I can tell he took great care of her and she was sooo happy when I got her back. She obviously had a great time. I would highly recommend him!! Overall a very positive experience in every way
We couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Anthony. Our dog was exceptionally well cared for, and it was clear from the start that he genuinely cared about her happiness and well-being. Anthony paid close attention to everything she needed—exercise, playtime, rest, and plenty of affection. Most importantly, he really took the time to connect with her and make her feel comfortable and loved. We also appreciated the frequent updates and pictures along the way. It gave us peace of mind knowing she was not only in great hands but genuinely enjoying herself. Anthony is thoughtful, attentive, and clearly passionate about animals. We would absolutely trust him with her again and highly recommend him!
Coco had a great time staying with Matthew and Van Joseph for the second time! They were excellent communicators and sent tons of photos and videos. It really made me feel like she was in good hands. Looking forward to having coco stay with them again soon! Thanks :)
Greta was amazing taking care of Maverick. You could tell from the moment they met to when I picked him up he was having a good time. Maverick is super active and she had no problem with that. She made sure to take him to the park, on walks, and was extremely prepared with her own toys. She was super nice sending updates and pictures too! I would definitely recommend having her watch your pup!

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Emeryville home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Emeryville.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.

For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
