Dog Boarding in Lake Merritt, Oakland

“Pablo and his wife Clare were so awesome and gentle with our anxious fella Gumbo. Pablo kept us informed of their activities and send pics and videos throughout the stay. We’re so grateful that Gumbo is being loved and cared for while we’re away!”

“Rocco stayed with Jeff and Beth for the 3rd time during our winter break. He was clearly happy to be there, as when we arrived he jumped out of the car and ran to the house and didn't even try to follow me out when I left. We really appreciate how Jeff and Beth welcome Rocco into their family and make him feel at home, and we love all the photo updates they send. Thanks again guys!”

“Karen did a wonderful job taking care of my large dog during a long weekend. When I did an initial meet and greet with Karen and my energetic and somewhat excitable dog, her calm demeanor and knowledge of dogs put me at ease. During my pup's stay with Karen, he enjoyed a long hike through a beautiful park and rolled around in the grass in her enclosed backyard. Karen even got my dog used to a new, gentler harness. From what I could tell, my dog had a great time with Karen!”

“Chanakarn was amazing! She sent regular updates and was clearly very engaged in Koda’s care, making sure he was happy and comfortable. This in turn allowed me to be comfortable and not worried about his well-being while I was away. I definitely recommend Chanakarn as a sitter and will reach out to her first next time I need a sitter in the area!”

“My 2 elderly chis stayed with Sara for a week while I was on vacation. I’m always really stressed when my dogs stay with new people, but Sara took such great care of them. She sent me daily updates and sent tons of photos of their adventures, which helped ease my worries so much. I swear my dogs looked slightly disappointed to see me when I picked them up! Lol. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Sara to anyone. 10/10. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of my dogs!”

“Aman has watched my dog twice & I’ve had a great experience. He sends updates & photos & my dog always looks so happy in them. Will be reaching out to him again!”

“Alexandra took care of my dog during some really poor weather. Nevertheless, they still got out for walks and my dog received great care! Thanks, Alexandra!”

“I highly recommend Alejandra. She is very knowledgeable and truly cares. The attention to detail, the professionalism, the daily updates with photos, and the love she has for her job and furry clients are just a few examples. We will definitely hire her again for our Bella. Thank you Alejandra”

“I wasn’t sure if my dog Toby would want to come home because I could tell he was having the time of his life all weekend long. I look forward to Toby spending more time at Lee’s home again soon!”

“Kelly was amazing. She is so thoughtful and caring, and she truly treated my dogs as if they were her own. She sent frequent updates, which made me feel good. My dogs had so much fun during their stay with Kelly! I was desperate to find a place for my dogs after I canceled our reservation at Wag hotels last minute. I’m so glad I did and that I found Kelly here! Highly recommend!!”

“Alexandra was a great dog sitter. She provided regular updates and photos via text. Here proactive communication made me feel very comfortable and I will definitely seek her our in the future.”

“Danielle was awesome! I would highly recommend. This was ours and Chili’s first Rover experience and it went exceptionally well. He loved Danielle and her dogs. He got comfortable very quickly and seemed so happy on hikes with the other dogs. We got tons of updates and photos of chili at doggy camp. Danielle is so experienced and even had recommendations for us on how to train his reactivity.”

“Lilly and her husband, David, took excellent care of our dog! Lily has been very attentive to details, and our dog warmed up to her very quickly. Her frequent updates, both written and in photos, gave us much-needed peace of mind during vacation. What’s more amazing is that our dog picked up commands that she long forgot and new ones from Lilly’s training during her stay with Lilly. We highly recommend them!”

“Jennifer and Jordan took Taco on plenty of adventures and treated him like family. They sent lots of great updates. He almost didn’t want to leave when it was time! Highly recommend if your dog likes other dogs and needs/wants a lot of activity!”

“Chad was great with our pups. It's such a relief to find a good sitter and Chad is one of those people! He has a great place with a big backyard and nice house for the dogs to romp around in. He was very communicative both during our meet and greet as well as during their first stay with him. One of our dogs is a bit skittish with people but warmed right up to Chad, which is a testament to him and his ability to make her feel at ease. We already have another date on the calendar with him. Highly recommended.”

“Hanna is an incredible sitter - communicative, caring, supper attentive to a dog’s needs and a pleasure to deal with. We know our dog will be excited to come back and see her!”

“Karen is a super caring dog parent. I see her regularly at the dog park and its obvious she really loves dogs and takes good care of them.”

“Robert is a communicative and caring sitter with bright energy! Whether it's for boarding or play time for the pup, I would reach out to Robert again.”

“Charlene was welcoming, responsive and very Cass ring for our pooch!! Our Rosie got a little sick and had an accident and Charlene took such sweet care of her and fed her pumpkin to help calm Rosie’s stomach. Will definitely work w Charlene again!”

“Megan and Jonathan and Chico were all so great. Super responsive, caring, and gave so many updates . My dog can be selective on who she gets along with but quickly warmed to Chico. Will definitely use again!”
