Dog Boarding in Oakland

“Alyx was wonderful to work with and we are very happy we found her! She was easy to communicate with and kept us updated on Lucy's stay with messages and pictures. We were nervous leaving Lucy with a new sitter but feel confident that she was well cared for and given lots of one-on-one attention in her time with Alyx. We definitely recommend her!”

About: I am a former kennel attendant and grooming assistant as well as a dog mom to four rescue chihuahua mixes! I have experience with aggressive/reactive dogs, senior/hospice, and puppies. A motivated college student looking to earn extra income by doing what I love! I am available for boarding Friday through Monday at 12 pm. Daycare is available from 6 am - 6 pm on Saturdays and Sundays. I am available on all Holidays for boarding and daycare. I do not have a fenced in yard, however I do regular potty breaks/walks with harnesses. I also use potty pads regularly in the house (my dogs do not like to go outside in rain/heavy snow).

“Maddy is an excellent animal caretaker and a lover of all animals. She grew up with animals fostering as well as caring for her own, and now helps me take care of our menagerie at home. She is responsible and enthusiastic in her care of animals. You cannot go wrong booking her to care for your pets. :)”

“I was anxious about leaving my dog with someone else for the first time in a new state. Kelly went over and above the call of duty to make sure i felt in the loop. She came home tired and happy!”

“Emma has been our farm sitter of choice for years. At 16 years old, she was far more responsible than many older adults. She is capable, knowledgeable and willing to work. She clearly loves all animals and can handle difficult situations with a calm, cool head. I have the very highest regard for her!”

“I left Pacey with Alyssa for a week and I'm so glad I did. Through the daily photos and videos it was obvious Pacey was having a great time running and playing in a large fenced in yard. When it was time to go home I almost had to nudge her into the car. If I'm ever in need again it'll be an easy decision to leave her with Alyssa, she's amazing and you know you've chosen the right place when your pet doesn't want to leave.”

“Exactly who I needed, when I needed her. My little boy is a bit shy around a revolving cast of characters so traditional boarding wasn't for him. Sydney did a great job and kept me up to date with how he was doing while I was away.”

“Really appreciate Alex watching our pup for the night. He's doesn't get along with most other dogs, but Alex had no issue keeping him separated from her dogs and handled his care with experience and ease. Nice to know he was in good hands! Thank you!”

“Vanessa was wonderful to work with, and our sweet Jack seemed very comfortable and happy with her. We’ll absolutely be working with her again in the future!!”

“I was very nervous leaving my fur baby for 6 nights but Christina was fantastic! She sent updates and pictures everyday which put me at ease. Haley had a great time playing with the other dogs. I highly recommend Christina”

“Jenn is amazing with all animal but she has a special way with dogs and horses. She had my dog for training for several months and when we got her back she was sad to leave but happy to be home. Jen loves animals and it shows with how she handles her own animals and how my dogs love seeing her when she is around they are in her care.”

“Sarah did a great job with my dog Frieda. My Dog is a rescue and very timid. She was scared being in a new place, but Sarah took gentle care of her all weekend and made sure she stayed happy and calm.”

“Lindsay was wonderful,if I could give her additional stars I would!! Teddy has separation anxiety but she made him feel right at home. She sent daily updates and pictures. We are so grateful for her and will use Lindsay the next time we need a sitter.”

“My dog loves her, very flexible”

“Traveling across country, it's always concerning finding just the right sitter for Daizy when we need to for a night or two. Rose provided the perfect place and made us feel quite comfortable leaving Daizy in her care. Would definitely recommend for those who are Traveling or live in the area.”

“Our Betty was taken care of so well with so much love! Deb was so great and understanding! Will definitely have her watch our Betty girl again when we go away!”

“Tanya did such an amazing job! I will definitely use her again. She took my sweet boy in over Christmas and really went above and beyond to make him feel at home.”

About: I’ve walked and cared for dogs and cats my whole life, including up to five at one time! I’ve also fostered over the years, with big and small dogs part of my past clients. Moved to Augusta earlier in 2023. I have a hybrid M-F work schedule, so weekends are generally best, but I can often make weekdays work. My neighborhood is not far from a dog park as well. I am in a 2-bedroom apartment that has a decent-sized grassy area outside in front. A few other dogs are in the apartment building. We’ve got an empty guest room if dogs and cats want more space to play and nap. Otherwise, I generally keep the bedroom and living room open.

“We only had to leave our doggo with Jessica for one night but we will certainly take him back to her if we are in the area again. Even though it was just one night, Jessica was great at providing updates and photos. She even took the best photo my wife and I have seen of our dog! He looked very happy while she was taking him on a walk. Very friendly dog sitter and you can tell she really enjoys animals. Definitely recommend.”

“I can’t say enough great things about Katie! We left our lab with her and he was in the best hands - daily walks, hikes, snuggles and playtime! Katie was also great at communicating and kept our mind at ease with tons of photos and videos.”
