Doggy Day Care in Golf Links, Oakland, CA

“Briana came through for us in a pinch, responding promptly to our daycare request and providing top-notch care for our pup. We felt completely at ease leaving her with Briana, especially knowing that she also had a furry friend in Banks. Briana's regular updates, with videos and pictures, kept us connected and reassured throughout Maple's stay. The extra gesture of taking Maple on a lengthy walk, keeping her occupied with toys and treats, speaks volumes about Briana's dedication and kindness. Maple returned home happy and thoroughly worn out—a thank you Briana!”

“Megan accepted a drop in visit in advance of two upcoming overnight stays to help acclimate Bailey to being in a new environment. Megan is loving and caring towards Bailey and really made her feel comfortable while in her care. It’s nice to find someone you trust to care for your dog when needed, and Megan is that person for us.”

“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.”

About: I've had dogs and pets in some capacity or another throughout my life and have loved being Sister-2-Legs to each of my four-legged siblings. I have cared for a variety of animals from young to old, mostly cats and dogs, a bird, and a few rabbits. More recently, it's been a mix of senior dogs and puppies. I'm used to balancing puppy training versus the possible complex needs of senior dogs. My own sweet spaniel passed last year, and he lost both his sight and his hearing as he aged, which presented a few challenges but was a very valuable learning experience. I'm comfortable with all ages and stages of life and love spoiling every single furred family member I care for. I adapt my schedule around your pet's needs and routines. Please message me for schedule details. I may be able to offer drop-ins, walks, or daycare either in your home or at my doggy daycare outside of the time slots listed. Daycare: My yard is fully fenced with a grass area for all kinds of running and toy play time. Everyone is welcome to sprawl out on the furniture both indoors and outside. Your dog is given as much attention and love as if they were my own. I look forward to welcoming new furry friends! Housesitting: My preference for my animals has always been to keep them in their home environment where they feel the most safe and secure. I will follow all their daily routines and any other directions provided and treat their space as if it were my own. Depending on your preference, hikes, beach trips, and other special activities can be added to the daily standards of belly rubs, walkies, and cuddles. As I also have a doggy daycare, it would be great if your pets are dog-friendly and able to participate in daycare during our stay!

“Thanks !”

About: I’ve always been an animal lover! I had a chocolate Lab for years, he was my best buddy and taught me so much about caring for dogs at every stage, from puppy zoomies to senior naps. I know how important it is to find someone you can really trust with your pet. I’m patient, reliable, and I treat every dog like they’re part of my own family. Whether your pup loves playtime, or just hanging out and getting belly rubs, I’m happy to give them the attention and care they deserve. My goal is to make sure your dog feels safe, loved, and happy while you’re away! I work from home, so I’m around most of the day and have plenty of time to give pets attention and play breaks. My flexible schedule makes it easy to stick to your dog’s routine midday potty breaks, or evening snuggles. I also have a large, fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely play, stretch their legs, and enjoy some fresh air. Your pet will never feel rushed or lonely here, they’ll get lots of love and care throughout the day! Why You’ll Love Having Me as Your Pet Sitter 🐾 Hi there! I’m a lifelong dog lover who had the joy of raising a chocolate lab from playful puppy days all the way to his sweet senior years, so I know firsthand how much love, patience, and care our furry friends need at every stage. I work from home, which means your pup will get plenty of attention, snuggles, and potty breaks throughout the day. I also have a large fenced-in yard perfect for safe playtime, fetch, and sunbathing naps! Whether you need boarding, feeding, or quick potty breaks, I’ve got you covered. I treat every pet like family because that’s exactly what they are. ✨ Note: All visiting dogs must be house-trained. Can’t wait to meet your four-legged friend!

“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.”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats since I was 10. I’m comfortable with everything from medication and special instructions to long walks, playtime, and plenty of affection. I also love taking pets on great outdoor adventures and capturing amazing photos along the way. If you enjoy seeing your dog happy, active, and photographed like a model at golden hour, you’re in the right place. I’m reliable, communicative, and treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is simple: your pet feels safe, stimulated, and loved, and you get peace of mind (plus some pretty incredible pictures). I have a full time job, but have a flexible schedule. I can do mostly 30min visits or longer on weekends. But am willing to coordinate on as needed basis. I can do mainly drop in visits as I have 2 cats and a turtle currently at my place. So home stay will not work.

About: I care for pets like my own. I go above and beyond and make sure they are clean and happy. I love taking the dogs I care for on long walks and I also enjoy playing with them, and giving them attention through a good 'ole fashioned belly rub. I am happily retired and love animals. My husband and I were pet owners to a beautiful spunky, honey-colored Pomeranian, named Daisy. Sadly she passed away in 2021 after 13 beautiful years together. I haven't replaced her since. I dog/pet sit for my friends' dogs on occasion. Pet sitting helps fill the void of my Daisy and I would like to do it more for those that may need it. My friends and family entrust me with their pets because they know I will care for them as my own. When I dog sit, I give them attention, play with them, and take them on walks. If I'm not taking them for a walk around the neighborhood or the local park, I have a backyard for them to handle their immediate business. I have a fenced backyard, a spacious living room and a large bonus room that is connected to our living room that allows dogs space to roam around. And if requested, I can also administer medications or have your dog sleep in their crate, if needed.

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.

“Cass has so much fun at doggy day care! He's getting the socialization and miles in to leave him a tired but happy dog at the end of the day. Thanks for taking care of him!”

About: First and foremost we have the best treats and home cooked food. The mystery machine is hosted by none other than Dumbledore himself (a sweet Great Dane who wanted to maintain his Scooby Doo persona) I am a healthcare professional working in emergency and critical care who always wished I was taking care of animals more than people. I am always home, we just moved into a large home with a big backyard in the Oakland Hills and decided to host some fur babies for fun and play time with our own big baby =) we love couch cuddles and beach trips .. your loved one will rarely be this spoiled =) It is our number one priority and our life centers around our children, and thus, your children. We've adjusted to being parents to a stage 5 Great Dane clinger. We have a fenced yard and lots of indoor space to adjust to any need. Just tell us what your pet needs and it can be accommodated.

“Bernie had such a lovely time with the crew! Kim and Jeff were so lovely, patient, and kind to him. We received plenty of photo and text updates throughout the day, which made us feel so confident about leaving our fur baby with separation anxiety in their care. Highly recommend ?”

“MaryCatherine is AMAZING! This was my first time taking my dog a sitter so I was bit nervous, but once Buddy got there I knew he would be in great hands. She shared videos through the day to share how his day was going (which also gave me comfort). I would HIGHLY recommend her.”

About: Our dogs are the most important beings in our lives. We want to share our oasis with other small dogs. Our goal is to have an animal sanctuary with many kinds of animals, but we are starting with small dogs in our home. We have two small loving dogs, Button, a 7 year-old Lhasa Apso, and Bow, a 5 year-old Daschapoo. Our dogs have their own nursery, and our canine guests will stay next door in their own space. We have a beautiful garden the dogs will have continual access to, as well as two walks a day--one a longer adventure to Chabot Park, the beach, or a comparable change of scenery. We have always been very stressed about leaving our dogs when we go away, and all the commercial pet resorts seem to be glorified kennels: noisy, spartan, overwhelming, incommensurately expensive for what they offer. We are new to hosting canine guests; the Doge Palace is brand new, so we will only be taking one small dog at a time and keeping our initial rates artificially below market rate. Your dog needs to be trained not to pee or poo in the house and be accustomed to spending time with other dogs. Our guests will sleep in their own bed nestled near our own dogs. In the future, half of the proceeds will be donated to the East Bay SPCA to provide assistance to people who cannot afford veterinary care and Nobody's Perfekt Dogs and Cats Rescue for disabled or elderly dogs. At the moment, we want to help the many abandoned pets in Ukraine, so we will be sending contributions there and to Poland where pets of refugees are in need of help. Jeffrey routinely does pro-bono work through his college counseling company for the SPCA--his regular rates are paid for through a direct donation to the SPCA by the client. We want to grow these donations by contributing half of what we make to two animal care organizations and the rest to our dream of having an animal sanctuary. We have a dedicated dog nursery where they can play, a beautiful large fenced-in, quiet garden oasis, and plenty of toys. The dogs get to get out half a dozen times a day for potty breaks and to enjoy themselves outside. We take them out on a walk at noon and in the early evening. Our canine guests will get a one hour-long outing to a park or beach. Robert is a biotech executive that works from home three days a week, and Jeffrey is a professor who works at home all the time. There will always be somebody home and when we leave the house for more than a couple hours, we bring the dogs with us.

“Such a nice family, we felt very comfortable leaving our dog with them! They took her on a nice hike and sent photos. She was happy and tired when we picked her up.”
