Dog Boarding in Merritt, Oakland

“Jessica took excellent care of my 6 year old dog Archie while I was traveling. She kept me updated daily with photos and videos of Archie and also gave log of Archie's activities in the end of Archie's stay. I will use Jessica's services next time we need to board Archie.”

“Zina was so great! Communicative, flexible and I knew Enzo was in such great hands with her and her roommate!”

“Chad and his partner provided thoughtful care and a wonderful stay for our rescue pup. It was the first time we left him with an overnight/boarding sitter and Chad was communicative throughout the stay. It's clear our pup had an enriching time! We appreciate Chad and looking forward to booking with him again.”

“Kelly provided the highest caliber of care for our french bulldog, Luna. Kelly is kind, caring, and so thorough. She went above-and-beyond to ensure Luna was well taken care of while I was out of town for the weekend. Thank you, Kelly!”

“A follow up to my previous 5-stars… More 5-stars! Lizzy had a great stay and Jeff and Beth were superstars in accommodating the last minute stay! Got lots of pics even over a short 24 period and Lizzy was clearly a happy pup at pick up! Thank you!”

“It was my cat’s first time away from home and Meshaal immediately treated her as his own. When I came back to pick her up she was so comfortable in his space that I felt like a guest. I will definitely use Meshaal’s services again.”

“Truly the best sitter I’ve come across. She communicates effectively, is flexible within reason when it comes to scheduling, and I can tell my dog loves being with her and Gizmo! Thank you Selena for caring for my baby as if she were your own.”

“Sara was great! Super responsive, lots of pics, and our dog got along amazingly with hers. Would highly recommend!”

“Chanakarn and Jake took such good care of Potter. We loved getting pictures of him as he met, played, and napped with new friends. Highly recommend them and we'll definitely be back!”

“Lindsey did a fantastic job watching Moose. We were able to meet up before to make sure it was a good fit, and she sent lots of pictures while I was away. Moose came back very happy. We will use her again!”

“Iggy did a trial stay with Mary and absolutely loved her. He can be a little shy and unsure but she and Murphy Brown made him feel very comfortable. She kept us informed about how he was doing and was wonderful! We’re looking forward to having her watch Iggy again for a longer stay.”

“Our Lulu returned home happy and healthy. Donald sent photos throughout the days and it was great to see she was on a schedule and having a good time. Donald was also very accommodating and easy to communicate with.”

“I hired Jane to petsit/walk my dog, Shadow. I normally am very hesitant to trust my dog with other people, as Shadow is a very skittish dog and distrusting of strangers (he is a rescue). However, Jane was able to win Shadow over with her calm energy and the pet sitting went well. I will definitely use Jane again when I go on a trip - she is extremely reliable and loves animals!”

“Right from the start, Noni was super communicative, proactive and engaged, making sure our dog Pickles was comfortable and working to figure out her schedule. Honestly, it took some effort and observation as this was a very different environment for Pickles but Noni was extremely attentive. Pickles was walked plenty and taken to the dog park as well. Never once were we in any way concerned for the safety or well being of our dog. Also we absolutely love getting pics and videos and Noni did not disappoint. Highly recommend!”

“Timothy and Katherine were amazing sitter's for our little terrier. They have an amazing indoor/outdoor setup that was a dream for Dash, who–I can tell from the many photos and videos they sent–loved to find sunny spots in the greenhouse to laze away on. He had fun playing with their pup, Kylie, and a few other friends. The communication was amazing, and they were incredibly flexible and accommodating when our flight was delayed and we couldn't pick our dog up on time. Highly recommend this service.”

“Ashley and her husband helped me out when I was in a bind and needed a sitter on short notice ! They were kind and sent to many pictures and updates 13/10, definitely would book 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.”
