“Idalis is a great hostess for our dog Daisy. She is a cream lab and Idalis’s pet golden Logan was a great playmate for her. She spent 5 days there for doggie day care. The first day she was scared when we dropped her off. But the next 4 days she was super happy as soon as she saw us picked up the leash. She was ready to go! She seemed to enjoy being out of the house for some playtime and walk, and when she comes home she is tired. I know she will miss Idalis and her whole family. When we go vacation we will definitely take daisy there for boarding.”
“This was our first time having Monica watch Coco and she was great! She followed all of our instructions and asked all of the necessary questions to learn about our pup. She sent a ton of pictures and videos and it was so nice to see what was happening while we were away. Monica is very sweet and caring and we would highly recommend her!”
“Jared was great! He sent lots of pictures and took great care of my Loki. She came home and was so tired from all of the play with his pups! Would definitely book again.”
“Great experience! Elisabeth is terrific with Henry, my 2 yr old miniature poodle mix. Henry is timid and not used to being away from me at home. He did exceptionally well with Elisabeth. She sent pictures and videos so we could see how he was doing. He was playing and was 100% happy when I picked him up. Her house is very clean and there’s a lovely fenced yard. I will definitely use Elisabeth for our upcoming trips!”
“She’s absolutely amazing! It was my baby’s first time in day care and I was scared on how she was going to behave since she’s just a puppy. But Wannena was incredible! And the 2 doggies she have, played with my baby all the time so by the time we got home she went straight to sleep 😭😂”
“Brittany does such a great job with my pup! He loves going to her house for day care and boarding where he gets to run around with her 2 dogs. Brittany does well with sending me photos and letting me know how Kairo is throughout the day which eases my mom guilt when I have to leave him. Brittany is so kind and willing to help if you’re in a pinch! I would recommend her for sure!”
“My dog had a great day with Alexandria. He was comfortable from the beginning and received the care and attention he needed. She did an awesome job caring for Lucky. Not to mention the picture updates throughout the day (my favorite part of his stay). Alexandria was consistent with keeping me posted during his stay and he was happy!”
“Always a great experience when I bring my pup to Selenia! She has a great set up in the house for the dogs and a fenced in area for the doggies to play outside! My puppy always comes back exhausted from playing all day with her shih tzu, Gigi!”

“Heather and her husband were wonderful with our Charlie! He has some separation anxiety and they were both so patient and caring. I loved that they also sent photo updates with his stay! I will definitely use them next time we are in town”
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and genuinely love caring for them. I was a dog owner for 14 years and hamster owner for 2 years (the entirety of their lifespans 🩷).

I have plenty of availability for midday walks, frequent check-ins, and longer visits, and I enjoy getting outside for walks as part of my own daily routine. I am able to give your pet the time and attention they deserve. I’m happy to follow your pet’s usual schedule and adjust as needed!

Over 4 pet parents in Oakland have booked doggy day care
Oakland dog parents share their Rover experiences
Julie was available to help when we were in dire need! When we got to her house, I was immediately at ease and knew that Elmo would be in good hands. Elmo had a quiet day and we had a great day at Disney. We got regular updates throughout the day which made us more at ease. We will definitely consider her as first option in future trips to Orlando.
If you are looking for a pet sitter who will treat your pet like her own, it would be Grace. I cannot speak highly enough about Grace and her wonderful family watching my pup. We recently adopted lab puppy who needs a lot of attention. Without hesitation, Grace accepted my last minute requests for day camp at her home. Her communication was amazing. I received so many pictures and updates throughout the day. My pup is only 3 months old and can still get into trouble. They have created a very safe environment for her and gave her plenty of mental and physical stimulation to keep her happy and busy. She loved going for walks, playing in the backyard and even got to have water day which was perfect on a hot day. If you are looking for the perfect pet sitter, look no further.
A few reasons why we would recommend Caroline as a sitter: - phenomenal communication before booking as well as during the stay - many photos/videos received throughout the day - flexibility with drop off and pickup times - major plus that Sailor made friends with her doggos and they had a great time playing We are so thankful for Caroline for opening up her home to our pup for the day!
