Dog Boarding in Merriwood, Oakland

“Shadow had a fantastic time with Jeff and his family! We appreciated being able to do a meet and greet beforehand to make sure he would be a good fit, and we really enjoyed getting photos of him throughout the weekend. We were able to enjoy our time away knowing he was in good hands. We look forward to having Shadow stay over with Jeff and his family the next time we go out of town. Thanks again!”

“Kelly is an amazing dog-sitter and a true animal-lover. Our dog Freckles is always thrilled to see her (he wags his tail with such enthusiasm it almost looks like he's going to take off like a helicopter!) She is super-communicative and always provides the sweetest pictures and updates. She is our go-to sitter and we're so lucky to have found her!”

“Donald did amazing! He kept our 2yr old lab mix for 10 days and there wasn’t a day that we didn’t receive several photos of their activities. Would definitely recommend Donald to anyone in the area and will for sure book with him next we need a sitter!”

“Words can not express how amazing Eiko is as as a host. I had an emergency while out of the country and she stepped in to provide service at a moment’s notice. I can’t recommend her enough.”

“Had a bad experience with rover my first time around and was hesitant to use it again. So happy I went with Jessica cause it could not have been a better pick! She’s super pleasant and I felt very comfortable with her watching my dog. She was also super nice about him being a large, high energy, CURRENTLY SHEDDING LIKE CRAZY German Shepard ?”

“Mary was fantastic! She gave us constant updates and really showed how she cared for our dog. Definitely going to have our dog stay with her again!”

“This was our first Rover boarding experience--Chad and his family were great with our dog, Laika. They were organized with the meet and greet, the pickup and dropoff. Laika loved playing in their backyard and was in great spirits when we picked her up.”

“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!”

“Kelsey and Harvey were *incredible* sitters for my little terrier mix pup, Penny! This was the first time I've traveled without my dog in a while and they gave me nothing but peace of mind while leaving my girl in their hands. Amazing photos, communicative and quick to respond updates, all showed me how comfortable my girl Penny was in their home and with their sweet dog Maggie. I will definitely be booking Kelsey and Harvey again soon! ??”

“Tara is the best! She watched my puppy Sid for a weekend while I was out of town. She had an instant connection with my dog and was so charming. I felt super confident trusting her and I wasn’t disappointed. I plan on hiring her again in the future!”

“carnitas loved hanging out with stephanie for the weekend! we got sent lots of pictures and notified about how their days together went :) will be booking again!”

“I highly recommend Camilla for doggie care. Super responsible, responsive, and kind. I knew our baby was in good care and got lots of loving and sniffing walks.”

“Omar was very professional to work with, caring and great with our older dog, and sent daily photo updates. He was responsive to questions and offered our dog an opportunity to visit his house before the first boarding.”

“My dog was very happy staying with Claudio. He was able to socialize with other dogs, go on plenty of walks, and be well cared for and loved. He came home very happy and tired.”

“Kristy was excellent! We came home to a clean space and a happy dog. She took good care of our dog who needs medicine and extra attention to his sore back. She was also very flexible and able to jump in very last minute to help us out!”

“Chanakarn took excellent care of our 7 month old pup. It was the pups first time away from home. Chanakarn had a thoughtful approach about introducing other dogs in a way that would ease entering a new environment and support our pup as she got acclimated. And she had a great time, playing with the other dogs. The communication was terrific, with daily updates and pictures. Highly recommend. Next time, we will definitely call Chanakarn first.”

“Timber had a great time with Emerson! Sitter is very responsive and professional. Timber seemed to enjoy the company of the other dogs under Emerson's care. Provided daily pictures.”

“Wonderful sitters, our dog was well cared for and seemed happy, which is unusual for him with first time sitters. Kelly and Alex are warm and caring, and excellent communicators.”

“Winnie was great… We were planning a trip on short notice and our normal dog sitter was booked. We did a meet and greet with Winnie, which went well and she was very accommodating. We had contacted another dog sitter through Rover which did not agree to do a meet and greet. We have two Australian shepherds and obviously meeting the person while we were gone for seven days is it great peace of mind. She even made Justice, our Tri, smile ?.. she was very good at sending us pictures to reaffirm that all was well! We will definitely use her again and would recommend her!”

“Just phenomenal! Took such great care of Ollie! Plenty of updates and pictures. Will definitely hit them up in the future when we need a petsitter!”
