Dog Boarding Fairview Park

“I felt very comfortable leaving Jesse with Mariola. She sent me great pictures as updates. She is loving and really knows how to comfort dogs with anxiety. Would wholeheartedly recommend her!”

“Liza turned out to be exactly the right person to board and walk my 70 lb. golden retriever. She communicated with me, was dependable and my dog liked her a lot. Liza took my dog to various nearby parks and hiking trails. Highly recommended”

“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.”

“Derrick took such great care of Roux Roux! 🐾💛 He stayed on top of his medication and feeding schedule, walked him daily, and gave him lots of love and cuddles. He also sent plenty of pictures and updates, which really put me at ease, especially since this was Roux’s first time staying with him. I felt confident knowing Roux was in such good hands. I would definitely recommend Derrick and will absolutely book with him again!”

“Our second time with Leonard for an extended stay while we were out of town! Leonard is a great communicator and sent us photos to keep us updated (and at ease). I always feel like our little buddy is in great hands with Leonard.”

Charlene L.

“Marlene and her family were absolutely amazing! We left Bean with them for 12 days while we were out of the country, and had such peace of mind knowing how lovingly he was being cared for. They sent regular updates and we could tell Bean was genuinely happy being with them. He grew very attached and close to them. We will definitely reach out to Marlene to care for Bean again.”

“jiajie was a terrific sitter!! The communication was really helpful, as I received lots of photo and video updates. jiajie also gave me a recommendation of pumpkin bites for Bailey's sensitive tummy, which was super useful!”

Laura W.

“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!”

Brandon L.

“Albina is the best! It is so clear the care and joy she takes in watching after Abby - and it’s so clear our dog absolutely loves staying with Albina! She’s our favorite person to work with.”

Kat C.

“Leaving Nugget with Monica gave me immense peace of mind. From the moment we met for the meet and greet, she was communicative, welcoming, and most importantly, very tuned-in to what Nugget’s needs could be during his stay. Her home was a lovely place for Nugget to stay, and her dog and cat are wonderful companions and very well behaved. The walks in Tilden Park were an added privilege. I couldn’t give a higher recommendation.”

Stephen S.

“Our dog Brody seemed comfortable with Alex from the first introduction and did very well in her care. She has an upbeat and welcoming manner, and a wonderful way of speaking to him directly. He often does not eat the first day or so that we were away but that was not a worry when he was with Alex. She understood his needs very well and took excellent care of him. I would definitely use Alex again for his care.”

Valarie B.

“We had Juli take care of our dog Sunshine for two weeks recently. We called it “summer camp” for Sunshine. It allowed us to go on several day trips and an overnight trip without worrying about our dog. She was very responsive and responsible and took great care of Sunshine. Sunshine was well exercised and given social opportunities. We had a meet and greet that included a tour of the house/yard before the 2 week stay that helped Sunshine transition to the new environment. I highly recommend Juli. Sunshine got along fine with her dog Gigi as well. :-)”

Claire V.

“Very attentive and caring dogsitter. Took great videos and pictures during the overnight boarding stay. Great communication. Thank you for taking care of Rudy!”

Jasmin and Louis

“They were a treat to work with! I was a little nervous leaving my 6-month-old Australian Shepherd because of how much energy and attention young Aussies require, but they exceeded all expectations. They took excellent care of him during his stay, including taking him on multiple hikes and making sure he got plenty of exercise and enrichment. It was clear when I got home that he was happy, healthy, and well cared for. I really appreciated the level of attention and care they provided, and I would happily recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and loving sitter.”

About: I'm based in downtown Oakland and am available to walk (30 or 60 minutes), sit, and/or board any day of the week at this time. I'm experienced with senior dogs, puppies, dogs of various sizes and temperaments, as well medicated pets. I work part time from home with considerable flexibility in my schedule. Dogs have been a part of my life since I raised and trained Herman, a Rottweiler, from puppyhood while I was in high school. As an adult, I fostered Jedi, a Pittie–Boxer mix, for a year and shared eight wonderful years caring for Frankie, my beloved senior puggle, with my partner. Although Jedi and Frankie have recently passed and are now foraging and feasting in heaven, I remain an honorary step-parent to several dogs. Friends have trusted me to walk and care for Esco, a Frenchie–Pittie and lovable bundle of nerves; Mort the pug, an adorable narcissist; Pretzel, a German Shepherd who can outrun and outsmart anyone at the dog park; and Ryordan, a sweet, snaggle-toothed senior Chihuahua. These experiences have made me comfortable caring for dogs of different sizes, ages, energy levels, and temperaments—including anxious and senior pups. I take their walks, meals, playtime, comfort, and naps as seriously as my own. I would love the opportunity to give your pup plenty of attentive, dependable care—and, experience suggests, they’ll soon love me back. I currently have considerable autonomy in my schedule. I'm available to walk, care for, or keep your pup company anytime after 10 AM most days. I live on the ground floor of a Victorian and have small fenced backyard where your dog can sniff around, play, and catch some rays.

“Natalia and her partner are great! They were super responsive, attentive, and provided tons of comfort and snuggles for our dog. He is already looking forward to his next visit ☺️”

“Yeon Soo and her husband took great care of my highly anxious pup! I haven’t left her with anyone since she was a puppy and was nervous I wouldn’t ever find the right person to care for her. Yeon Soon was understanding of all of my dog’s needs and checked in about her preferences for certain things (eg time she could be left alone). I got updates multiple times per day (much appreciated) including photos and videos. By the end of the stay my dog had made herself at home and had some new friends! Very grateful to have found a responsible and caring sitter for my dog.”

Lauren E.

“AMAZING. Ed and Eve were fantastic. They sent me videos and/or pictures of my dog every single day and totally fell in the love with her the way a family member would. I will definitely be taking Bailey back to them!!!”

Suzanne B.

“Our girl Maya was very happy with Claudio. It was her first time with a sitter, so we were nervous. Claudio’s photos & videos helped reassure us that all was well.”

Pat C.

“Sherry was great! I rarely have to board Daffy and finding someone outside of my town was daunting. We communicated frequently and she sent pictures which were very reassuring. I will certainly book with her again! A big "Thank-You!" to Sherry!”
