Dog Boarding in Merritt, Oakland

“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!”

“Pablo for the win! Our dog received many snuggles and it was obvious he was very well taken care of. He kept us updated with photos and we had absolutely no worries while we were away. Thank you to Pablo and his wife for providing top-notch care. We appreciate the great communication and flexibility as well.”

“Violet was took amazing care of our dog Molly! And Molly is no easy case, she's extremely shy, was never socialized as a puppy as she was a street dog, so it takes her awhile to warm up to new people, and Violet was so sensitive and caring, Molly became comfortable quickly! Violet was very easy to communicate with, took lots of pictures, even put a sweater on Molly as to not leave her out from the holiday photo! It was too sweet! Knowing Molly was with Violet made us so relaxed and at ease, we knew she was such good hands! They have a beautiful home and wonderful space for dog play! Thank you so much, we would love to have Molly in their care again!”

“Melina was great! I really appreciated the proactive communications and updates during Zeke’s stay. He was well cared for and a happy camper upon his return.”

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

“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.”

“Sara was wonderful with Augie, my extremely shy rescue dog! She was very patient and attentive to Augie's needs and helped her feel comfortable being away from home, and I loved getting photos of Augie on walks with Sara's dog Soba. Sara was also great to communicate with -- all around, I highly recommend entrusting your dog to Sara's care!”

“Valessa was a wonderful sitter! She sent lots of great updates with photos and videos and made sure Benny was well taken care of! She took him on lots of adventures including some great walks and trips to the dog park. When our arrival home was delayed due to weather she offered to drive Benny to another location for me and was extremely patient and flexible. We will definitely be using Valessa again! I’m very confident that my pup was in great hands and had a wonderful weekend!”

“Donald is our first Rover dog sitter. We weren’t sure how it would all go for Francis, but based on reviews we were confident Donald would be great. We just picked up Francis and he is happy, calm and based on the lovely pupdates from Donald, seems to have had a great sleepover. So happy! Can’t wait to book with Donald again!”

“Lilly was wonderful with my little girl Kuki! Kuki can be quite anxious with new people and in new environments but Lilly was very patient and gentle with her and made her felt at home! Will definitely have Kuki stay again!”

“Amazing caretakers! Sent a ton of updates (including pictures) and treated my dog great. Usually he is anxiously exhausted when I pick him up after a trip but today that wasn’t the case - goes to show how comfortable he was with Stephanie and her family. Looking forwarding to booking with them again!”

“Mary was great with our dog Livvy. She gave her great walks,. took great photos, and at the end of the stay Livvy seemed very happy. Thank Mary.”

“Vanessa & Thomas were the best! They took such great care of our old lady, Timber. They sent photos every day showing how happy Timber was and took her on all kinds of adventures. I would definitely recommend them to anyone, and will be using them again in the future. Super nice, responsive, and overall great people! Thank you both!”

“Francisco and Sara are terrific hosts. On our initial visits it was immediately evident that our beloved dog would fit right into their household. They are definitely dog people, and our dog knew it right away. He made himself at home and they were very happy to have him. They sent pictures of their daily activities and posted updates. When we picked our dog up, I could tell that there was a reciprocal bond of appreciation. I absolutely recommend Sara and Francisco as Rover hosts.”

“Charlene and her partner were great and my dog and made sure she had the best time possible. Thanks for the updates throughout her stay as well!”

“We needed someone to watch our 5 month old pup fairly last minute, and for 7 days. They were wonderful. They asked all the right questions up front, sent daily photos, videos, and little updates. It was very low stress for us and we didn’t have any worries, which was so great ❤️ When another pup chewed through Pennys leash, they even replaced it and bought us the same one! Penny seemed very calm and happy when we picked her up. We met Jake at drop off and pickup and he was so kind. Very thankful for them, and will be a repeat customer.”

“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.”

“Mary was exceptional with our pup Enzo! She was very communicative with us through out the day with updates and photos which comforted me knowing he was doing great. Mary did not only watch and feed Enzo, but took him to the dog park (his favorite place), and along to run errands with her. I would 100% recommend Mary to take care of your fur baby!”

“Really appreciate you taking such good care of our dog George! It was our first time using Rover, and it went really well. Loved getting a video and the communication throughout the stay. I think George is already missing his new friend <3”

“Chad was lovely with our two dogs - dealt calmly with our nervous older boy, and the younger dog had a good time playing outside. Very accommodating with a lot of last-minute rescheduling, and the atmosphere is just what our dogs feel comfortable: a family home, where they can nap on the couch and potter about.”
