Dog Boarding in Merriwood, Oakland

“This was Rocco's second stay with Jeff and family. He recognized where we were as soon as we started walking to the door and got really excited. They are so great with Rocco, give him lots of attention, take him on off-leash walks, and generally spoil him. We are already planning his next stay.”

“Amanda watched my cat while I was out of town for a week and I can't recommend her enough! I was really nervous leaving Neptune with someone new but they gave me all the time I needed to help him get adjusted and say goodbye. Both Amanda and her partner seem to understand cats very well and gave him all the attention he needed (and my cat is needy lol). She sent pictures and updates daily which I really appreciated. I would certainly book with her again in the future. Thanks Amanda!”

“Sloopy really loves to stay with Donald. I think she thinks his home is hers. I really appreciate that he keeps her to a regular schedule and I think that reduces her anxiety greatly. I know that Sloopy is well cared for when she stays with Donald.”

“Jessica took great care of Maxi, she sent us daily pictures and also arranged a meeting before the booking to ensure Maxi felt comfortable staying at her place. He came back happy and healthy.”

“Lauren was wonderful—friendly, constantly in communication with us, and took excellent care of our dog. We will be using her again and highly recommend her services!”

“I trusted Rachel would provide good care for our goofy labradoodle the minute I met her. Her home has a large fenced in yard which is perfect for the dogs to run around! Very nice family too. I liked her so much I booked her a second time!”

“My second time boarding my senior dachshund with Eiko and he had such a great time. Eiko did a great job of keeping my posted with updates and pictures, but not so frequent that I was worried or checking my phone too much. My dog seemed to have a great time and my trip away was pretty worth-free. I would happily book with Eiko again!”

“This was Rex’s second stay with Mary and Murphy Brown and we couldn’t be happier! Mary is so great and patient with Rex! As a super senior he is on multiple meds and needs potty breaks quite frequently, and Mary jumped right in without skipping a beat. She was in constant communication and shared tons of photos to give me peace of mind during my trip! Rex will be back again next month!”

“Chad was an excellent host. He has a welcoming house and yard. He keeps the number of dogs small so it's manageable for all involved. I got daily updates from him including pictures. Would recommend.”

“Kelly was a wonderful sitter for Benny! I received plenty of daily updates, helping me feel confident that he was in good hands. He got plenty of walks, park time, play time, and snuggles. Kelly also returned him cleaner than when I dropped him off!! We are very glad we’ve found Kelly, as I fully intend to use her again in the future. I know she treated Benny like her own pup and took excellent care of him!”

“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.”

“I simply can't express enough gratitude for the incredible care that Danielle provided to my dog while I was away. I knew very quickly that my furry friend was in the best hands possible. She not only took care of the basics but showered my boy with love and attention. Each update and photo that was sent warmed my heart and reassured me that he was not just fine, but having a great time. Danielle's dedication to ensuring my pet's well-being went beyond my expectations. She was very committed to ensuring that he felt comfortable and secure while I was away. In short, I can't recommend her highly enough and will undoubtedly entrust her with his care in the future. Thank you, Danielle, for being an absolute blessing!”

“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!”

“Jessica provided excellent care for our pup Rosie while we were away on a weekend trip! Rosie got tons of time at the park, and had really awesome playmates at Jessica’s house. We loved all the photos and videos to assure us that Rosie was having a fantastic weekend. Will definitely return to Jessica in the future!”

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

“She was an amazing host for our dog over a long weekend! She was super loving to our dog and also put up with his occasional bad behavior. Our dog enjoyed snuggling with her on the couch as well as taking long morning walks. She was a great communicator as well, sending us lots of updates and pictures each day. I would highly recommend her and plan to use her again!”

“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 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.”

“Katie may be better with dogs than she is with people--and she's pretty damn good with people. Any time I need to leave my little one with anyone, she is the very first person I call, and if she can't do it, I will literally delay my plans until the next time she is available as I don't trust my dog with anyone else.”

“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.”
