Top rated Oakland doggy day care sitters
“Damica is trustworthy and excellent with my pup. Kya has come home tired and happy from daycare both times I have picked her up, which is exactly what I wanted! Damica is quick to respond and provides updated videos/photos throughout the day so I can see what Kya is up to. Will definitely rehire.”
“Jenna was great with my doggo and accommodating with my last minute booking! She sent pictures throughout the day and my dog obviously had an enjoyable day! Thank you again!”
“This might be the 3rd or 4th review i have left for Tzu. She and Niko are the best hosts ever to our pup! The sheer happiness on Ellie’s face when she bounces up to their house is very telling of the absolute madness and fun she has when she is at their place! Tzu is hands down one of the best we have come across on Rover and it is so evident how much she cares about the pups in her care. She sends us little goodie bags of free homemade treats and gives our pup a a quick rinse off when she gets dirty playing out. She is wonderful. I cannot sing enough praises!”
“Polar B always has the best time with Mariah and her pups. She is always willing to chat with me about training methods, behavior, and everything else dog related. We switched to in home doggy daycare as most places were way too big. I no longer worry about Polar B getting sick or worrying about other dogs’ behavior as Mariah always keeps a close eye on them. Couldn’t recommend more !”
“If you are a super picky dog parent like me, you will not trust your babies to just anyone looking to make a few extra bucks while you're away. Wendy's home is dog friendly with plenty of fresh clean water, comfortable furniture, baby gates to prevent door-dashing, and a well maintained HUGE secure fenced back yard with plenty of room for your dogs to run and explore! She is a wonderful pet parent, and her personal dogs are very well socialized, loved and cared for. 5 stars from this dog mom!”
“Haile and Alex were so pleasant and informative. This was my first stay and they took the time to let my dog get acclimated with the other dogs upon arrival. They sent pics and videos to make me feel comfortable about me being apart. At pickup time they provided advice based off of what they experienced during the stay to help her next stay be just that much better for my pup. Needless to say her new bestie Evie had a great time and she is down for the count. ☺️ Thank you!”
“Allison was the perfect person to take care of my shy pooch. She was calm and reassuring and he seemed very comfortable with her. She took him for a long walk, which he always enjoys. And she lives very close to the hotel I stay at. I’ll definitely use her on my next visit to St. Louis.”
“Shelly was fantastic! She stopped by to meet Lisbet ahead of the booking, and her communication and care throughout Lisbet's stay with her was outstanding. We will definitely book with Shelly again.”
“Isa was great for daycare for our puppy!! We were visiting St. Louis and she took great care of our puppy while we were exploring for the day. She was very responsive and sent updates throughout the day which we loved. We would absolutely recommend her and use her again when we are back in St. Louis!”
“Jennifer was great! Ari had the best time. I could tell Ari was going to have the best time as soon as I set foot in the doorway. She had such a kind energy. Thank you so much for taking great care of my pup, Jennifer!”
“Grace was amazing! She took Wrigley at short notice when I had a sudden need, and took such good care of her. Wrigley had a great day and was totally spoiled—treats, brushing, lots of attention. And Grace sent pictures throughout the day so I could see how great Wrigley was doing. I will use her again and again!”
“This was Cooper’s first time with Lucy and although he was nervous at first that was very short lived! I really appreciated the way Lucy worked to make him feel comfortable before I left. I could tell he was thoroughly enjoying himself in the videos she sent and when we made it back home he barely made it through the door before passing out! Would highly recommend :)”
“Tim is great! My dog had so much fun at day care with him. He is attentive, provides updates throughout the day, responsive, great with dogs, and flexible! Can’t wait to for more day care!”
“Sent my golden to Callie’s and she loved it. She had so much fun playing with Bentley and always had a great appetite at the end of the day. She was very well taken care of and we felt very assured that she was in good hands with callie!”
“Judith was amazing and communicated well throughout the entire process. We felt our dog was in great hands with her and know he was super spoiled. She went above and beyond and sent us daily photo and text updates. We will definitely be booking with Judith again in the future! Highly recommend.”

Denise & Brent T.
“I've known Denise for a long time and have watched her over the years with her own dogs and others. You can clearly see how she loves them and was instrumental in influencing us to get an Aussie Shepherd after losing our beloved feisty Cairn Terriers. One of them was particular about who he liked and that typically included only family but she watched him for me several times and he loved her! She is responsible, patient and kind and an expert at training. I would not hesitate for a second at trusting Denise with our beloved Aussie.”
