Doggy Day Care in Oakland Ave-Harrison St, Oakland, CA

“My dog Walter had the BEST day at doggy day care with Lee. He got to play with friends all day long and he was so sleepy when he got home! Lee sent a lot of pics and updates. She always responds immediately to inquiries. I could tell Walter absolutely loved being there with her. 10/10 thank you so much !!!”

“Aman was excellent with Deuce. He came back happy, excited, and ready to play. He sent me a pic of Deuce while in his care, and gave me updates during his time there. I’d definitely book with Aman again. He was pleasant, polite, and kept me updated. Great vibes all around.”

“Lilly was one of the most responsive, thoughtful, and considerate rovers that I've worked with. She took such great care of my sometimes-shy pup, Olive, giving her time to warm up and lots of belly scratches. Olive had a great time and didn't want to leave at the end of her stay. Lilly also made sure to feed Olive on the correct schedule, and took her for a nice walk in the neighborhood. Thank you, Lilly!”

“Tara and her family were so good to my boy Skye. I could tell that he had an amazing time with them. They are so accommodating and kept me updated throughout the day; made me feel at ease while I’m away from him. They were so patient with Skye and followed all the directions we provided regarding his care. I highly recommend and will definitely use their services again.”

About: I’m a Fear Free Certified Professional, currently studying animal behavior. I’ve been running my own home based doggy daycare and boarding house for four years. My care is crate-free (unless that's what your pup's preferred at-home routine is,) with regular group outings to trails and the beach. I live in a two level home where the entire downstairs and fenced backyard are just for the dogs! It’s colorfully set up as the coolest doggie social club, but the pups are welcome throughout both levels of the home. They are never forcibly isolated and almost always prefer to be close to wherever I am. I keep my client list small and personal—almost all of my dogs have been with me for years. I don’t aim to pack the house; I aim to give the best experience possible for every dog and human involved. Even when clients start as one-offs, they usually stick around—because I strive to be a resource for dogs and their families. That’s why I call this place a home away from home. If you're interested, I invite you to come by for a meet and greet—see the space, meet me, and let me meet your little one. I look forward to being your dog’s new best friend! Canine care is my daily life. The dogs are with me throughout the day—whether we’re in the yard, around the house, or out on a trail. I structure my routine around their needs, with group outings, downtime, and a consistent rhythm. If my personal life calls me away, I have an amazing assistant Alaina who steps in. She also co-runs the daycare! I focus on keeping things consistent, calm, fun, and full of bonding—play, rest, outdoor time, and enrichment are all part of the daily rhythm. Outside of daycare hours, the space functions as our home too, so dogs experience a relaxed, real-life environment, not a facility. I send updates, pictures, and videos throughout the day.

About: I’ve been lucky to grow up surrounded by both dogs and cats, and I can’t remember a time when there wasn’t at least one furry friend in my home. My pup, Ray Charles, and I truly enjoy the company of dogs of all sizes and personalities and foster on the side as well. To make sure everyone is comfortable, I like to arrange a friendly meet-and-greet before we set anything in stone. I work remote and have a lot of flexibility of schedule. Ray Charles and I spend our days exploring the beautiful parks and trails of the East Bay—and we’d be thrilled to have your pup join us for some fun walks and fresh air! Ray and I live in a cozy but spacious one-bedroom with a backyard, perched at the top of a hill in a safe, peaceful neighborhood that’s perfect for walks and outdoor play.

“Azar was great with the coqui! She’s so nice and easy to coordinate with. We met beforehand and it was clear she loves dogs, so I was comfortable with her caring for coqui. She sent some pics of him couch lounging and took him on a bunch of walks. I would definitely have him hang with her again.”

“My dog has done daycare here several times now, and I’m finally leaving a review: I don’t know if Alex’s other job involves customer service, but it wouldn’t surprise me, because Alex is a rockstar at making you feel welcome and like your pet is being cared for by a genuinely responsible, kind-hearted dog lover: 1) Alex has the sweetest, most friendly attitude, 2) very communicative, and responds very quickly or within an appropriate time frame, 3) has been super gracious and flexible on my very wide/varying drop-off times, 4) is great about taking a dog pic or 2 each time and giving me any updates, which gives peace of mind, and 5) genuinely cares about making my nervous dog feel comfortable, from going the extra mile (literally) driving to a quieter place to give my dog a longer, quieter walk, to letting my dog borrow her weighted blanket, to learning my dog’s triggers, to observing my dog’s behavior with other dogs. My dog can be dog reactive, and I really appreciate Alex taking the time to do a thorough meet and greet to make sure my dog will jive with the other dog in the home. (P.S. Wally is a joie-de-vivre sweetheart who shows great love to all - like owner, like dog!) Alex grew up with dogs and practices responsible separation/management techniques, like feeding the dogs separately, gates in the kitchen, etc. Not to mention that the location is convenient for dropping off my separation-anxiety dog when I’m going to non-dog-friendly activities in downtown Oakland or towards SF. Absolutely recommend Alex for dog care - a gem of a person, a gem of a dog sitter!”

About: I grew up with 3 dachshunds and pet sat for many years during college. I've also had 2 cats during college that have since passed away. I've worked a summer on a goat farm, fed chickens, and watched pet doves. I have a good presence with animals and people. I am a freelancer and am at home for the majority of the day. I can bring your dog with me to the park and running errands. Sometimes I'm out on client meetings here and there, but am always close to home. We are at the Vespr apartment building which are a dogs haven. Minutes from the lake for morning walks, with a built in doggy spa and run for evening potty breaks. Big windows with sunshine spots for sun soaking naps and filtered water for tasty sips.

“Anchisa kept my dog Walter for doggy day care on my long work days. I am completely pleased and so happy we found her! From time of booking throughout his whole stay her communication is excellent with updates and pics! He is no longer nervous when I get ready for work since he knows he will be seeing her. I would trust her completely for boarding if I leave town as well. I am so grateful we found you!”

Lauren L.

“Latricia is a really kind person who has taken wonderful care of our dog during boarding and day care. He clearly loves seeing Latricia and hanging out with his dog buddies at her pad. And she sends us really adorable photos every time! We'll definitely continue using her services. Thanks Latricia!”

About: I’ve dog sat for friends and family in the past 2 years and I’ve loved the experience. Happy to provide references and chat more about my experience. My best friend lives on my floor and we take walks with his dog every morning and evening so it’s very well incorporated in my schedule I make my place conducive for pets since I have one visit often. No cords laying around, vacuumed floors and room temperature thermostat. This also applies to client apartments

About: I dedicate in creating a bond of trust and affection filled with love and patience. I provide a safe and enjoyable environment for your pets. I enjoy the outdoors and being around pets.

About: I have walked over 150 dogs and cared for 3 dogs over the past two months. I am familiar with all breeds large and small. I am happy to work on training during walks for puppies who need a bit more discipline. I love to mix in run and walks for your puppy on my walks. I almost always try to bring your pet to the park for them to enjoy grassy areas and meet other puppies. I love to provide video and photos of our walks. It would be a pleasure to take care of your pet when you’re at work or even away for the long weekend. I am excited to accommodate any needs like refreshing the water bowls or adding food before or after the walk if requested. Thanks for consideration.

About: Passionate and reliable dog sitter with a deep love for animals and years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes. Known for providing safe, attentive, and affectionate care, including walks, feeding, playtime, and administering medication if needed. Committed to keeping pets happy and owners worry-free with regular updates and personalized care. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, as I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I schedule walks, feedings, and playtime consistently each day. Whether it's early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening cuddles, I make sure each pet receives attention, love, and the care they need. My flexible schedule allows me to prioritize their well-being while maintaining a balanced, pet-friendly routine. I care for pets by creating a safe, clean, and comfortable environment, whether in my home or a client’s. At home, I provide a secure space with plenty of room to play, regular walks, fresh water, healthy meals, and lots of affection.

I also keep the home tidy, respect the space, and give regular updates with photos and messages for peace of mind.

About: I’m a lifelong dog lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. I grew up with a Bull Mastiff, a German Shepherd, and a Husky—so I’m very comfortable with those breeds. Over the years, I’ve also cared for small, sensitive companions, which has given me a wide range of experience. What really sets me apart: • Experience with many breeds and personalities – from giant guardians to toy-sized companions. • Balanced schedule – I work mornings, but I’m home by the afternoons and evenings, giving me plenty of time for walks, play, and companionship. • A holistic, gentle approach – I bring calm energy, patience, and a stress-free environment to help every dog feel safe and cared for. • Real-life dog parent – I know firsthand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your furry family member. Your pup will always be treated like family with me—loved, respected, and given the care they need to thrive. Pet care is a big part of my daily life. I work mornings, but I’m home in the afternoons and evenings, which means your pup will get plenty of attention, playtime, and cuddles once I’m back. Walks, outdoor time, and relaxation are all part of the routine, and I love keeping dogs happy and engaged both physically and mentally. Our Pomsky, Rex, is part of the family and keeps me on a steady rhythm with morning walks, afternoon play, and cozy evenings. I’m happy to adjust to your dog’s unique routine—whether that means extra exercise, medication reminders, or simply a calm, loving presence while you’re away. Weekends are especially flexible and often include more outdoor time, walks, and adventures, or just quiet downtime at home if that’s what your dog prefers. In my home, safety and comfort always come first. I live in a cozy apartment and make sure every visiting dog has their own safe spot to settle in—whether that’s a comfy corner, a crate, or a designated resting place. Our family dog Rex, is well-socialized and used to having other dogs around, but I always do careful introductions and keep a close eye so everyone feels secure and at ease. I keep the environment calm, pet-friendly, and structured—no hazards, no harmful products, just lots of love and attention. While I do work mornings, I’m home in the afternoons and evenings to give your dog the walks, playtime, and companionship they need. Your pup will be treated like family here, with their own space to feel comfortable while still being part of the home.
