Dog Boarding in Lake Merritt, Oakland

“Pablo and Claire (sp) took very good care of Roxy for a week. Pablo sent great photo updates and asked questions to make sure that he’s taking the appropriate actions to keep Roxy happy and healthy. We joke that Roxy got a great vacation during her stay at Pablo’s, but that’s probably the truth. You can ‘t go wrong when you get Pablo & Claire to care for your dog (just don’t do it when we need to…).”

“Sara is amazing! She is very kind, loving, thoughtful, and attentive. Ruffles is not an easy dog! He’s highly anxious and kind of a bully, so I appreciate that she is firm, consistent, and most of all - loving! - with him. Thank you for taking care of my baby while I was away! I have peace of mind knowing he’s in Sara’s care.”

“Chanakarn and Jake took amazing care of my dog for a couple weeks while I was away for an extended business trip. I didn’t want to leave my baby, and was nervous because she has a few special needs, but Chanakarn and Jake knew exactly what to do and made it easy. Daily updates with photos and videos and regular communication eased my mind. They answered all of my questions and understood all of my dog’s special needs. I feel so lucky to have found them and look forward to exploring their day care services for days when I have to be in the office. Thank you for everything!”

“We've used Tracy twice, and both times were great. Our dogs seemed to warm up quickly, and she has been flexible and responsive.”

“Donald is such a great caretaker for Lily the corgi! She loves visiting him -- you can tell by the way she jumps up to meet him when we bring her over -- and she's having a great time on all the walks and dog play times we get pictures of while we're away. Thanks, Donald!”

“Melina is super sweet, caring and full of positive energy. She is great with communication, very punctual and fast to respond. Our puppy seemed super happy from the minute he met Melina until the end of his stay. We are sure he had a pleasant time and enjoyed his stay. We cannot recommend her enough, we already rebooked her twice and will always do if she is available!”

“Juliana was absolutely wonderful! She gave Buddy so much love and I could tell when I picked him up that he had established a bond with her. :) I recently lost our my furry bestie of 16 years and Buddy was with him over 11 years so I was really nervous about leaving him with someone new since we’re both a little fragile but Juliana was incredibly gracious to us both and her care allowed me to be away for a week long work trip stress free. I got pics and a video and each one Buddy was living his best life. :) Great communication from her throughout the whole process. I highly recommend Juliana’s services!”

“Chad communicated frequently (but not too much :)) during our dog's stay. He provided several pictures which was also nice! Our boy is an anxious boy & Chad & his family were very patient with him! I am SO glad we chose to use Rover (and chose Chad) over boarding him at a boarding facility. We will definitely send Malone back to hang out with Chad!”

“Lilly is the best! She and her husband treated Cody like their own family member. She sent me regular updates on Cody with pictures and videos, making me enjoy my out of town trip to the fullest without any guilt. I could tell that Cody had a great time as well. I'll definitely use her service again.”

“Alexandra was incredibly sweet and communicative. She sent photos or videos everyday and was very patient with Valerie. I could tell Val had a great time while there.”

“Katie is literally a dog whisperer and is the most dog passionate person I know! She's watched my dog Lulu for us while we were away, and I had 10000% trust in Katie for not only taking care of Lulu's needs, but loving Lulu like her own pup! Katie is extremely knowledgeable of a variety of dog training methods for behavioral needs, and will keep a close eye on your pup all the time! She is so kind, reliable, communicative and passionate, and is one of the best.”

“Violet was a tremendous babysitter for my boy Bo! It was very clear from the beginning he was extremely comfortable in his environment and it would be a great stay. I got very frequent and fun pics/videos during his stay, which put me greatly at ease. Would definitely bring Bo back to Violet's home in the future.”

“Our dog had a great time staying with Jeff and his family. We received plenty of pictures and updates about how he was doing. He was obviously welcomed as a member of the family and well taken care of. Thank you Jeff!”

“Our chocolate lab mix loves staying with Mary and her pup. They go on great adventures, and our pup is clearly well exercised and well loved while in Mary’s care. Grateful to have a reliable and caring person watching our dog.”

“Charlene is AMAZING! She is extremely professional and great with my baby! She gives me updates of my baby with pictures and videos every day! I would highly recommend to all my friends and family!”

“Jessica was amazing. My dog had a lot of issues due to high anxiety, and Jessica (and her husband) handled everything so well and was so kind about it.”

“Selena is phenomenal all I can say is Levi loves going over to Selena’s house. Selena makes sure to send photos just to show how he’s doing. She’s great a communicating and responds back to ASAP. Levi will be going back with her for future visits. This is Levi’s second time staying with Selena and every time I hear nothing but good reviews. Thanks again Selena for taking care of Levi as if he was your own.”

“Mary took great care of Maggie! She was a very thoughtful host, kept Maggie entertained and active, and sent me lots of pictures. Highly recommend!”

“Lauren was an incredible dog sitter for our dog Kermit. Every day she sent updates and pictures of their adventures. She took him for plenty of long walks and even let him snuggle up with her on the couch with lots of cozy blankets. We were so happy with the care and attention she gave our dog. We will definitely ask Lauren to dog sit in the future. I recommend her to anyone who is looking for a great, reliable sitter, who is communicative and caring.”

“This was my first time boarding my dog with Michelle. From our initial meet n' greet, Michelle was friendly and took a sincere interest in all of the important details about my dog. Michelle provided frequent updates and photos on how things were going, and she was flexible when I had to extend the stay by an extra night. I appreciate the care and love she provided and highly recommend her services.”
