“This was our second time having Sara board our pup, and she was awesome just like she was last time! It was over the New Year and we had forgotten to drop off our dogs thunder coat, but she did an amazing job helping him get through the stressful night of fireworks. She’s very communicative, responsive, and responsible, and I highly recommend her to anyone!”
2. Chanakarn V.
“Our boys had a great stay and were well taken care of while we were away! We received lots of updates and photos of them having a great time, which definitely kept our minds at ease. We’d love to re-book in the future!”
3. Tracey N.
“We've used Tracy twice, and both times were great. Our dogs seemed to warm up quickly, and she has been flexible and responsive.”
4. Pablo S.
“Pablo was wonderful with my dog Tubby! He sent an update with pictures every day. Tubby is usually afraid of strangers but warmed up to him instantly. I would definitely recommend Pablo!”
5. Lilly R.
“Lilly is amazing! She is very reliable, responsive, friendly and great to work with. She really spoiled our pup in the best way with lots of walks, pets, attention, and treats. She was able to give him a banana on a lick mat which is his favorite and sent lots of pics and videos every single day. Kevin looked like he had a so much fun playing and hanging out with Lilly and her husband. She and her husband provided exceptional care. Looking forward to using her services in the future. Thank you so much Lilly!”
6. Jennifer & Jordan L.
“Jennifer and Jordon were amazing! They took my fur babe right in as their own. They were super accommodating with drop off and pick up times as well as communicative for the duration of his stay. They made sure he felt right at home and kept me updated on the activities of the day or any changes they may have had to implement due to weather (i.e. couldnt go to the dog park today because of the rain but we gave him a frozen treat to help expend some energy; we got to the dog park and he wanted to play in all the puddles, we got him all bathed and cleaned up though! Insert adorable picture of my dog wrapped in a towel, haha). I got plenty of picture updates and knew he was in great company. I would highly recommend them for your next boarding needs! I will definitely be using them for any future trips. Thank you for taking such great care of Maverick!♡”
7. Charlene M.
“Charlene took such good care of our pup! She sent tons of pictures and videos and gave lots of updates on how she was doing. Really appreciate her and her partner going above and beyond for our furbaby and will definitely be back.”
8. Violet B.
“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.”
9. Donald R.
“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.”
10. Alexandra O.
“Alexandra was incredibly sweet and communicative. She sent photos or videos everyday and was very patient with Valerie. I could tell Val had a great time while there.”
11. Michelle K.
“Our two pups were excited to see Michelle and stay with her again. We appreciated the updates and they looked right at home with her the 2nd time boarding with her. Thanks for the tender care Michelle!”
12. Melina B.
“Melina is super sweet, caring and full of positive energy. She is great with communication, very punctual and fast to respond. Our puppy seemed super happy from the minute he met Melina until the end of his stay. We are sure he had a pleasant time and enjoyed his stay. We cannot recommend her enough, we already rebooked her twice and will always do if she is available!”
13. Jessica P.
“Jessica was amazing and accommodated a last minute request with graciousness and responsiveness. She and her husband took great care of my pup and I’m so grateful I found her service. I was worried that I wouldn’t find anyone good in this semi-emergency situation. In reality, I found one of the best.”
14. Selena S.
“Selena is phenomenal all I can say is Levi loves going over to Selena’s house. Selena makes sure to send photos just to show how he’s doing. She’s great a communicating and responds back to ASAP. Levi will be going back with her for future visits. This is Levi’s second time staying with Selena and every time I hear nothing but good reviews. Thanks again Selena for taking care of Levi as if he was your own.”
15. noni p.
“My dog Buddy has experienced anxiety and depression in the past when boarding him. I prefer to have him taken care of at home so was a bit worried about taking him somewhere else. Noni’s place was perfect. She has dogs of her own and it is obvious she is caring and very sensitive when opening g her place up to other dogs. Buddy love his stay and Noni made sure to send pictures and videos everyday and in each one I could tell Buddy was in great hands. Noni was on top of communicating about pick up and drop off as well as what I needed to bring. Absolutely stellar experience for both Buddy and I. Thank you Noni.”
16. Juliana A.
“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!”
17. Stephanie M.
“Amazing caretakers! Sent a ton of updates (including pictures) and treated my dog great. Usually he is anxiously exhausted when I pick him up after a trip but today that wasn’t the case - goes to show how comfortable he was with Stephanie and her family. Looking forwarding to booking with them again!”
18. Lawriece R.
“Lawriece and Vasek were lovely as always. They were patient, took so many photos and videos, and I could tell Peanut was well taken care of. Very communicative as well. Thank you!”
19. Chad A.
“I was in desperate need of a dog sitter for my puppy Shelby before a work trip and Chad really came through. I instantly felt comfortable leaving Shelby with him and his family. Shelby and his Pom became instant friends as Chad sent me pictures of them snuggling together.”

What are some dog-friendly parks in Oakland?
With the temperate weather in Oakland, it's always a good time to get outside with your dog, whether you're a dog sitter or owner. Redwood Regional Park is located in the hills east of downtown Oakland, and has tons of trails and open space for dogs to run. They are allowed to be in the entire park on-leash, and are even allowed off-leash in some of the undeveloped areas. Sibley Volcanic Regional Preserve is another wooded park with lots of trails to explore on leash. Off-leash activity is also allowed in the less-developed areas of the park. Lake Merritt is closer to downtown Oakland and is a great place for dog sitters to take a stroll with small, medium, or large dogs on leash.
