Doggy Day Care in North Stonehurst, Oakland, CA

“Benny was flexible and overall super patient and attentive with my pups. I was able to pickup/drop off without any inconvenience and was puntual. I received updates of my pups adventures throughout the day and made sure my pups got the time and energy.”

About: I've been a devoted dog owner since 2019, and I know firsthand how important it is to find someone trustworthy who will treat your pet with genuine care and attention. You can expect clear, consistent communication with photos and updates so you have complete peace of mind. I'm attentive to each dog's unique personality, routines, and preferences. I have a patient, calm presence that helps pets feel comfortable and safe. I work from home so I'll be attentive and have a flexible schedule. Whether your dog loves long walks or prefers a leisurely stroll, needs lots of playtime or just wants a companion at home, I'll make sure they're happy, safe, and well-cared for. I treat every pet with the same love and responsibility I give my own. Your dog's wellbeing and your peace of mind are my top priorities. I work from home so I'll be present full time. I take my dog on 2-3 walks per day and have a fully fenced in home so your dog will get as much outdoor time as you'd like. I have a small dog of my own who's friendly and well-socialized. My home is pet-proofed and secure with a safe space for dogs to relax. I'll make sure your dog gets individual attention, regular potty breaks, exercise, and feels welcomed and comfortable. I'm happy to discuss compatibility and do a meet-and-greet beforehand to ensure it's a good fit for everyone.

About: I grew up in a household where we always had cats and dogs, and it was always my favorite task to care for them! Now, I have a sweet dog and our newest addition, a rescue cat. Our home has two lush green lawns where our pets love to play. Because I work from home, I’m available to nurture and care for my pets all day long. I work remotely from home, so I am free all day to walk pets, entertain pets, and take pets out to potty. Because I already own a dog and cat, caring for others’ will align perfectly with my schedule. I have a large fenced yard with a grassy lawn where your fur baby can sun bathe, run, and play as desired. My own fur baby would keep your dog company, or if you prefer, I can also crate your dog as desired.

“Emerson and his family were great sitters for Bernie. Communication was strong, he even sent pictures and a video to let me know how things were going. We meet the day before so that they would be familiar to my dog. It was a good match from the very beginning. We will definitely use them again.”

“Astrid was very communicative with us about our dog. The kids also seemed to love our dog and we definitely saw them being a great fit for him! Will definitely use them again in the future!”

“My two large dogs get so excited when they find out they’re going to Natalia’s house! They are well cared for and tended to throughout the day and they especially love the large backyard where they can play and rest. I recommend her services.”

“We are so lucky to have Briana to watch our pup. Hersh is very comfortable and loves spending time with her! Having peace of mind when you’re away from your fur baby is important to us so Briana is our go-to! We always enjoy the pics/vids she sends of Hershel ♥️”

“Stache had a great time with Golda. He came back to us calm, stress free and happy. That is a sign that he was very comfortable around Golda. We appreciated the frequent updates and photos!”

About: Dogs aren’t just pets to me… they’re family. I’ve been caring for dogs for 10 plus years, and I truly love getting to know each pup’s personality, quirks, and favorite belly rub spots. Whether your dog is playful and energetic or more of a cuddle-on-the-couch type, I make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home. I have an open and flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention and care throughout the day. I’m available for weekdays, weekends, and holidays, and I can accommodate last-minute bookings when needed. Your dog won’t be left alone for long periods and will get lots of supervision, playtime, and companionship. 🐾 I take time to learn each dog’s routine, behavior, and any special needs so I can care for them the way you do. Whether that means sticking to specific feeding schedules, administering medication, or giving them space when they need quiet time, I follow your instructions closely. If I’m in a client’s home, I’m respectful of your space and keep your pet’s routine as normal as possible to reduce stress. I monitor for any changes in behavior, appetite, or energy and will contact you right away if anything seems off. I believe trust is built through communication, consistency, and genuine love for animals and I treat every pet like they’re my own family member. 🐾❤️

About: Hi, I've cared for animals of all shapes and sizes for my entire life and used to work professionally as an animal caretaker at a kids amusement park. I'm experienced with administering medications and older pets that might have special needs and I'm looking forward to looking after your precious pet while your busy or away! I wfh in my spacious home in the Frick neighborhood of Oakland. I have a 10month old medium sized dog called Mayka who is very friendly and playful with other animals. There's a large completely enclosed backyard with tons of space for dogs to run around and explore. Close to Reinhardt Redwood Regional Park and other large trails to take dogs out on long walks! I work from home at the moment so I will always be able to supervise your pet and I'm available seven days a week and can do boarding overnight I have a large fenced yard and a friendly dog to keep your pet company. They'll have free roam of the entire house and will get supervised access to the backyard. I have a large dog crate and can easily crate your dog if needed

“Chad took excellent care of my young and energetic greyhound with a lot of separation anxiety. When I picked her up she was happy and excited, but she didn’t show any signs of distress. Prior to my dog’s stay at his home Chad had invited us over for a meet&greet and he took a lot of time to inquire about my dog’s character and behaviors, which made me very confident that things would be alright. Chad was also willing to accommodated my travel schedule. I am happy with the experience and hope he will be available next time I have to go out of town.”

“Kai and I enjoyed Chawntea so much that we rebooked. As a first time furbaby mom it’s hard to just leave my baby with anyone. I am so glad to have found her.”

About: Our dogs are the most important beings in our lives. We want to share our oasis with other small dogs. Our goal is to have an animal sanctuary with many kinds of animals, but we are starting with small dogs in our home. We have two small loving dogs, Button, an 11 year-old Lhasa Apso, and Bow, a 9 year-old Doxiepoo. Our dogs have their own nursery, and our canine guests will stay next door in their own space. We have a beautiful garden the dogs will have continual access to, as well as two walks a day--one a longer adventure to Chabot Park, the beach, or a comparable change of scenery. We have always been very stressed about leaving our dogs when we go away, and all the commercial pet resorts seem to be glorified kennels: noisy, spartan, overwhelming, incommensurately expensive for what they offer. We are new to hosting canine guests; the Doge Palace is brand new, so we will only be taking one small dog at a time and keeping our initial rates artificially below market rate. Your dog needs to be trained not to pee or poo in the house and be accustomed to spending time with other dogs. Our guests will sleep in their own bed nestled near our own dogs. In the future, half of the proceeds will be donated to the East Bay SPCA to provide assistance to people who cannot afford veterinary care and Nobody's Perfekt Dogs and Cats Rescue for disabled or elderly dogs. At the moment, we want to help the many abandoned pets in Ukraine, so we will be sending contributions there and to Poland where pets of refugees are in need of help. Jeffrey routinely does pro-bono work through his college counseling company for the SPCA--his regular rates are paid for through a direct donation to the SPCA by the client. We want to grow these donations by contributing half of what we make to two animal care organizations and the rest to our dream of having an animal sanctuary. We have a dedicated dog nursery where they can play, a beautiful large fenced-in, quiet garden oasis, and plenty of toys. The dogs get to get out half a dozen times a day for potty breaks and to enjoy themselves outside. We take them out on a walk at noon and in the early evening. Our canine guests will get a one hour-long outing to a park or beach. Robert is a biotech executive that works from home three days a week, and Jeffrey is a professor who works at home all the time. There will always be somebody home and when we leave the house for more than a couple hours, we bring the dogs with us. I work from home, and I always have time to take the dogs out to the garden and on walks with my dogs, Button and Bow. We have a fenced in garden. The dogs go outside in the garden with me. We also play with toys in the house and go on walks.

“Mantao took great care of Penny, would highly recommend!”

“Tatiana walked my dog three times while staying at her house and gave her good exercises. She let my dog playing at the park and hanging out with her ground children. I’m sure that my dog had a good time. She also took good care of her by checking her food, trying to feed her until she got enough. She is a good walker and caregiver as well. I’m happy and comfortable to leave my dog with her.”

About: I care for pets like my own. I go above and beyond and make sure they are clean and happy. I love taking the dogs I care for on long walks and I also enjoy playing with them, and giving them attention through a good 'ole fashioned belly rub. I am happily retired and love animals. My husband and I were pet owners to a beautiful spunky, honey-colored Pomeranian, named Daisy. Sadly she passed away in 2021 after 13 beautiful years together. I haven't replaced her since. I dog/pet sit for my friends' dogs on occasion. Pet sitting helps fill the void of my Daisy and I would like to do it more for those that may need it. My friends and family entrust me with their pets because they know I will care for them as my own. When I dog sit, I give them attention, play with them, and take them on walks. If I'm not taking them for a walk around the neighborhood or the local park, I have a backyard for them to handle their immediate business. I have a fenced backyard, a spacious living room and a large bonus room that is connected to our living room that allows dogs space to roam around. And if requested, I can also administer medications or have your dog sleep in their crate, if needed.

“Lisa was awesome, she accommodated my request within an hour as I tend to get very busy during the day and forget to book ahead of time but she took care of Nero, also named him Mr. Wiggle Butt ? thank you Lisa for baby sitting my fur baby! definitely will revisit again when needed.”

“Jasmine and Gabriel have been wonderful sitters for my high-energy German Shepherd, Juno. Jasmine is very accommodating of my schedule and takes the best care of Juno, sharing happy pictures along the way. Juno is always excited at drop-off, and content and tired when I pick her up. Perfect.”

“Baxter had a great day with Kim and her human and dog crew. :) She sent pics with fun commentary several times (much appreciated -- especially on the first day!. Baxter was wiped out in the evening after a day of play. Kim is clearly a pro at dog care. She was very engaged in our meet and greet and asked lots of good questions. She's very pleasant to chat with and communicates proactively. Looking forward to Baxter's next stay!”
