Doggy Day Care in Mills College, Oakland, CA

“Lee is the absolute best! Firstly she is so communicative and responsive, she makes all of the logistics so easy. Our dog is very anxious and typically very apprehensive of new environments, people and dogs - he can’t just be left with just any dog sitter - and Lee was so understanding of him and made him feel right at home. She truly understands small dogs!!”

“Kelly was kind enough to accept a last minute request to watch our 4 month old puppy. Our little Kasha had a great time. We enjoyed pictures throughout the day of her playing and socializing with the other dogs. She came happy and tired :) Thank you!”

About: I've had dogs and pets in some capacity or another throughout my life and have loved being Sister-2-Legs to each of my four-legged siblings. I have cared for a variety of animals from young to old, mostly cats and dogs, a bird, and a few rabbits. More recently, it's been a mix of senior dogs and puppies. I'm used to balancing puppy training versus the possible complex needs of senior dogs. My own sweet spaniel passed last year, and he lost both his sight and his hearing as he aged, which presented a few challenges but was a very valuable learning experience. I'm comfortable with all ages and stages of life and love spoiling every single furred family member I care for. I adapt my schedule around your pet's needs and routines. Please message me for schedule details. I may be able to offer drop-ins, walks, or daycare either in your home or at my doggy daycare outside of the time slots listed. Daycare: My yard is fully fenced with a grass area for all kinds of running and toy play time. Everyone is welcome to sprawl out on the furniture both indoors and outside. Your dog is given as much attention and love as if they were my own. I look forward to welcoming new furry friends! Housesitting: My preference for my animals has always been to keep them in their home environment where they feel the most safe and secure. I will follow all their daily routines and any other directions provided and treat their space as if it were my own. Depending on your preference, hikes, beach trips, and other special activities can be added to the daily standards of belly rubs, walkies, and cuddles. As I also have a doggy daycare, it would be great if your pets are dog-friendly and able to participate in daycare during our stay!

“MaryCatherine is AMAZING! This was my first time taking my dog a sitter so I was bit nervous, but once Buddy got there I knew he would be in great hands. She shared videos through the day to share how his day was going (which also gave me comfort). I would HIGHLY recommend her.”

About: As a dedicated and experienced pet sitter, I am passionate about providing the best care possible for all types of pups. As a specialized pet sitter for bully breeds and small dogs, I understand the unique needs and quirks of these adorable dogs. With years of experience and a deep love for all things pup, I am committed to providing the highest level of care and attention to your furry friend. Everything from numerous short walks and playtime (temperature permitting) to feeding and medication administration, you can trust me to provide reliable and compassionate care for your dog. I am dedicated to ensuring your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you're away. My home has ramps to access all furniture and gates to prevent pups from running up and down stairs to protect their spines and potential IVDD flare ups. Our morning starts off with a walk around the neighborhood, then it’s breakfast time which means training and play with positive reinforcement! Your pup then has playtime with toys and with my dog Penelope if they are up for it or can snooze away. We then take a quick walk during lunch to stretch our legs and say hi to our friends at Rocky’s. After work we love to be in nature and hit the trails or parks to get some steps in! After dinner I love nothing more than to cuddle with the pups on my couch before bed! We have an outdoor deck that the dogs always have access to. Mostly serves as a sunbathing lounge 😎. The deck is also equipped with grass patches for easy potty breaks. Your pup with have the company of my dog, Penelope. She is a playful and well behaved French bulldog. I have a robust routine for her to keep her healthy and prevent her from being affected from her predisposed IVDD. I can easily incorporate any special needs or request that your day may need.

“My dog Sasha loves KIm and Jeff, she is always overly happy to see them and hang out with them whenever she comes. Very welcoming and they helped me quickly get over my fear of my Dog being in a new environment.”

About: 10 years of experience taking care of my dogs, I have two senior small dogs, a big back yard. Your dog gonna feel like they're home. We are a family of three and I'm a stay home mom, I only leave home to take and pick up our daughter to/fromschool. Your babies will have plenty of attention. I have a fenced backyard, my dogs are used to staying with other dogs, and I could provide a crate if your dog needs one.

“Briana came through for us in a pinch, responding promptly to our daycare request and providing top-notch care for our pup. We felt completely at ease leaving her with Briana, especially knowing that she also had a furry friend in Banks. Briana's regular updates, with videos and pictures, kept us connected and reassured throughout Maple's stay. The extra gesture of taking Maple on a lengthy walk, keeping her occupied with toys and treats, speaks volumes about Briana's dedication and kindness. Maple returned home happy and thoroughly worn out—a thank you Briana!”

About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was 15, including raising two dogs from puppies and training a 3-year-old Shih Tzu. I’ve also taken care of both large and small dogs and have experience fostering cats, so I’m comfortable with a variety of personalities and needs. I focus on creating a calm, consistent environment that helps pets feel secure and cared for. I use a gentle parenting/training style and believe routine is key—whether it’s mealtime, walks, or downtime, I make sure your pet’s needs are met while keeping them happy and comfortable. I'm currently working part-time and am a homebody. Your pets will be the center of my attention. I have a set routine for walking, feeding, and walks! I have a fenced yard and a VERY playful Shih Tzu named Teddy. He is basically my child and I spoil him rotten. He is walked 2-3 times a day, cared for, and professionally groomed monthly! In between that, he is washed weekly and just gets a lot of love and playtime throughout the day!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of different kinds. My love for pets have been for as long as I can remember! Growing up, I have personally cared for medium-sized dogs, specifically a German shepherd and Pitbull, and also 3 different cats. I recently have lived in a house with 5 pit bulls and helped walk, feed and bathe each one for over a year. I currently do not own a pet, but am itching to own one soon. For now, I am happy to assist in bringing comfort and joy into your pet’s life. Anything to help make a family's home easier is what I strive for. I am currently working full time, but have a flexible work schedule that can accommodate to feeding/walking times.

I live in a house with a fenced yard. I offer a safe space to care for your pet. I live with my husband who is also a pet lover. It will help us get out of the house for necessary walks and overall care. Please let me know if your dog is friendly with other dogs as I can host up to two dogs at a time.
