Private 1:1 Dog Boarding
I offer individualized dog boarding—only one household at a time. If you have multiple dogs, I’m happy to welcome them all together. But I never mix dogs from separate families. Your pup(s) will receive calm, focused care in a safe and peaceful home. I’m an intuitive, grounded, calm person who genuinely enjoys the presence of dogs. I connect deeply with their personalities, sensitivities, and emotional worlds. I studied architecture and civil engineering, and spent years working on high-rises in New York. I’m now shifting into a career in art, and I work from home for several hours a day—so I’m here, fully present, and not distracted. Dogs ground me. I do this in part because I love having their company while I live and work alone. I own my home, a sunlit Victorian I bought two years ago in West Oakland. The space is open and bright, with beautiful airflow and a clean, minimal layout. No roommates, no other pets. ⸻ About the Space My home has great light, fresh air, and a fully fenced backyard. I’m just two minutes from a large dog park, and I shape the day around your dog’s natural rhythms—gentle mornings, relaxed walks, nourishing meals, naps, and affection when they want it. ⸻ My Daily Rhythm I’m home most of the day. When I go out, it’s brief—and if your dog enjoys car rides or outings, they’re welcome to join. ⸻ Thank You Thank you for considering me for your dog’s care. I understand that it is not an easy choice and I feel honored that you are considering me. This is something I do because I love it, and I want your dog to feel safe, seen, and fully at home.
Qualifications
Notes et avis
Albina is a treasure! She took such great care of our boy, Odie, and sent daily updates with photos & videos. Her warmth & calm demeanor shine through & she treated Odie like he was her own. We won’t hesitate to book with her in the future! 🐶🐾
We left our Chihuahua Poppy with Albina for a two night stay and it went so well! Because she is reactive, we needed Poppy to be the only animal in the house and Albina was super accommodating. Albina offers pickup/dropoff depending on how far away you live and that really saved us so time. We’ll definitely be booking with Albina again!
Albina did a most excellent job with my dog-reactive Cattledog/Pit mix, Sequoia. She was extremely caring, gentle, and kind. Sequoia was immediately at ease with Albina and she did an excellent job accommodating Sequoia's reactivity and providing her with a wonderful stay. One of the best experiences I've had with a sitter on Rover. She sent me wonderful nightly updates about how Sequoia was doing that put me at ease. I can't recommend her highly enough.
This is the second time Albina has taken care of my dog and I cannot recommend her enough! She’s so communicative and caring, I am so grateful to have someone like her to take care of my dog when I travel… because of her I worry less and enjoy my vacation more!
Albina did such a wonderful job taking care of our senior dog Pepper while we were out of town for a few days. She was so kind and considerate about our dog Pepper. She was really easy to communicate with and gave us updates that helped put us at ease while we were away. Would absolutely recommend her to any pet parents.
Albina was once again a fantastic dog sitter for Margot! We will not hesitate to book with her again.

Dates de la garde
My home is peaceful, structured, and tuned into your dog’s emotional and physical needs. I only host one dog at a time, so their day is shaped around their unique pace—no overstimulation, no competing energy, just calm presence and intentional care. Here’s a general rhythm your pup can expect (with flexibility based on their needs): • 7:00 AM – Wake-up and gentle start to the day with a potty break in the backyard • 7:30–9:00 AM – Breakfast and quiet morning hangout (sunny windows, soft music, relaxed presence) • 9:00–10:00 AM – Morning outing: neighborhood walk or a peaceful dog park visit (only if your dog enjoys that kind of setting) • 10:00 AM–2:00 PM – Calm indoor time with backyard access, rest, and companionship while I work from home • 2:00 PM – Midday potty break and check-in • 2:00–5:00 PM – Restful downtime or light enrichment (snuffle mats, puzzle toys, snuggles, or just ambient togetherness) • 5:00–6:00 PM – Evening outing: second walk, fresh air, and gentle movement • 6:00–9:30 PM – Dinner, digestion, soft wind-down, and cozy rest time • 9:30 PM – Final backyard break before bed I’m present and engaged throughout the day, aside from short errands or gym time. If your dog enjoys car rides or outings, I’ll bring them along. If they prefer to stay home, I keep outings brief and return quickly. Your dog’s comfort, rhythm, and emotional ease always come first.

Caractéristiques du logement
Sécurité, confiance et environnement
I offer calm, structured care rooted in presence, consistency, and gentle leadership. Dogs thrive when they know what to expect, so I maintain a steady daily rhythm with outdoor breaks, rest time, light walks, and quiet companionship. Because I host only one dog at a time, each guest has space to settle in at their own pace—whether they enjoy soft connection or prefer calm independence. I observe closely, adjust thoughtfully, and avoid overstimulation. My approach works best for mellow, house-trained dogs who feel safest in a peaceful, predictable environment. Care is hands-on, grounded, and centered on helping each dog feel secure, respected, and fully at ease.
Une journée type
Fun here is grounded in presence and natural rhythm—not overstimulation. Some dogs enjoy gentle enrichment like slow sniff walks, backyard play, or simply sitting in the sun together. For pups who are social, relaxed, and adventure-ready, I occasionally include peaceful outings to local trails or beaches—always guided by your dog’s personality, energy, and comfort level. Everything we do is soft, unrushed, and safe. Whether it’s watching birds from the yard, exploring new scents at their own pace, or simply relaxing nearby while I work, each moment is shaped around creating a calm, connected experience that supports your dog’s emotional and physical well-being.
