1. Chanakarn & Jakree V.
“My 9 month old pup had a great time under Chana and Jake’s care. They sent me pics and messages to keep me updated. Nice backyard for the pup to run around and he made instant friends with Chana’s dog Tabitha.”
2. Jennifer & Jordan L.
“Jennifer and Jordan took Taco on plenty of adventures and treated him like family. They sent lots of great updates. He almost didn’t want to leave when it was time! Highly recommend if your dog likes other dogs and needs/wants a lot of activity!”
3. Pablo S.
“Pablo and Claire (sp) took very good care of Roxy for a week. Pablo sent great photo updates and asked questions to make sure that he’s taking the appropriate actions to keep Roxy happy and healthy. We joke that Roxy got a great vacation during her stay at Pablo’s, but that’s probably the truth. You can ‘t go wrong when you get Pablo & Claire to care for your dog (just don’t do it when we need to…).”
4. Michelle K.
“Michelle is the most awesomest dog watcher ever, she was so cool to keep us in the loop throughout Gunner’s stay and send us pictures of him and Hazel (who is absolute sweetie too). Thank you Michelle, it looks like Gunner had such a good time with you!”
5. Alexandra O.
“Alexandra was a great dog sitter. She provided regular updates and photos via text. Here proactive communication made me feel very comfortable and I will definitely seek her our in the future.”
6. Cydney D.
“Our original plans fell through and Cydney was incredibly reliable. Super responsive and conveniently close to where I live. Rudy really enjoyed staying with Cydney. I would highly recommend and will definitely be booking again in the future!”
7. Charlene M.
“Charlene watched my dog for the first time last weekend and all I can say is that she's amazing. She sent lots of pictures and videos and she took the time to text me detailed updates so I didn't need to worry about a thing. I love how she paid extra attention to my dog to figure out what made her comfortable - she gave my dog an opportunity to sleep with other dogs but then when she saw that my dog wasn't going to sleep, she brought her to her bed and my dog passed out instantly. I loved that - she took the time and attention to get to know my dog's preferences. She was reliable and always quick to respond to me and I will definitely work with her again!”
8. Salem A.
“Salem was kind and attentive with my dog. I'm going to book her again.”
9. Tyler G.
“Tyler took really good care of my Scotty! I knew he was in the right hands and that gave me a lot of peace while traveling. They went above and beyond to make sure my ol' pup was comfortable and active. also liked that there was another doggy on site. Sent really cute pics and videos to boot. Highly recommended.”
10. Jennifer L.
“Jennifer was great! She took my cat in last minute and was very accommodating! She has a whole kitty playground at her house that my cat loved every second of. She also has a litter robot box so I didn’t have to bring a separate box/litter which made the exchange easier. She sent soooo many photos and videos that I loved and communicated very well. Jennifer is super sweet & I trusted her well with my cat… Definitely will book again :)”
11. Jessica P.
“Hammy always comes back so tired from playing, she needs a day of recovery lol we love all of the photo updates we receive and find Jessica very easy to work with and reliable”
12. Stephanie M.
“Stephanie was an absolute amazing host! Our dogs are very different; 1 has energy and needs her walks while the other is older and needs a little more special care. Both dogs got exactly what they needed during their stay with Stephanie, and I know this because they were absolutely exhausted when I picked them up! Stephanie sent out a detailed update and pictures each day, so I felt comfortable during my trip that the dogs were properly being taken care of. I'm blown away by the level of care my dogs got and can't wait to reach out to Stephanie again the next time we need someone to take care of the dogs.”
13. Donald R.
“This is the second time we’ve used Donald and he will continue to be our pup’s home away from home. We get daily updates and photos while we’re away. Such a relief to have Donald available!”
14. Sara B.
“I was referred to Sara by a mutual friend and I couldn’t be happier with how my little Liko was cared for! Sara was just awesome and I know Liko was happy and content the entire time. She is a top-notch caregiver for your pet!! 💕”
15. Andrea J.
“Andrea was very attentive and caring with our Kiki dog. She is an animal lover. We would definitely recommend her for dog sitting and hope to use her services again!”
16. 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.”
17. Lilly R.
“Lilly was wonderful with my little girl Kuki! Kuki can be quite anxious with new people and in new environments but Lilly was very patient and gentle with her and made her felt at home! Will definitely have Kuki stay again!”
18. Alexis A.
“We boarded our dog, Tara with Alexis while we went away on a trip. Alexis checked in with us daily on Tara’s stay. She sent pictures and let us know Tara got her medication on time. We had a great trip knowing Alexis was taking such great care of Tara, and we didn’t have to worry about anything. Overall, it has been a GREAT experience working with Alexis and we absolutely suggest her to others.”
19. Winne L.
“Winnie treated Hercules as if he was her own. She showed him love, cuddled with him, walked him regularly and even gave him a bath so he came home smelling good! She kept me updated throughout his stay with messages and a steady flow of pictures. I highly recommend Winnie to anyone looking for a caring and loving sitter.”
20. Melina B.
“Melinda was absolutely amazing. When I dropped off my fur baby to her I knew he would be in good hands. She made sure to send me pictures to ease my anxiety I would definitely recommend her”

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.
