Doggy Day Care In Oakley

About: Early 40’s year old sitter/walker with car still building reviews. You could say I have 40+ years of experience. My family had a German Shepherd from before I was born and I was very close to her. There has been a stream of pets in my family. Including so so so many cats in NYC. Even going so far as to “rescue” a half feral one. Currently, I share ownership of a dog. As a small business owner of over 10 years, I am able to have a flexible schedule and spend more time hanging out with your pet(s). I can follow their diet and pet or play or brush their hair. As long as you give me a list or schedule, I'll do my best to provide it. I have extensive experience with pets at all stages of life. (As well as other kinds of pets which I am open to caring for.) I am extremely comfortable and unbothered by any dogs or cats. I understand the care required for a wide variety of needs including providing reinforcement on current training. I can reinforce sit, lay down, paw, stay, heel, rollover, or anything else. I can administer medicine with ease for even very giant unruly pets. I am not formally trained in pet CPR, but I am trained in human CPR and have looked at videos for pet CPR. When I was younger I worked as a lifeguard, and have a remarkable natural ability to stay calm and act fast in crisis situations. This comes in handy, for example: when protecting my maltipoo from other dogs, managing territorial behavior, or keeping one dog out of another dog’s bowl. For day boarding, they will stay in the upstairs of a carriage house, where I work in the other room. I have a large yard and can provide leashed walks or yard time as well as photos for you. I am working on getting a camera setup for the boarding room and the yard. My schedule is flexible and I have a car. I have a small business and partial responsibility of my dog, so I do need to be able to run errands, go to meetings, or check in at home to keep that part of my life running. For extended care, and distance further than 5 miles, I prefer be given the option to stay over at clients for the sake of gas costs, time, and energy. First meeting and approach are important to setting a precedent, I first see if the pet will approach me. I like to offer my hand palm down for them to smell. Sometimes it takes a few times smelling the hand before they feel comfortable letting me pet them. In my opinion it’s important not to mess up first impressions with the pet. Spending time together builds familiarity bonds, being attentive builds trust. It’s important to build rapport.

“Jen & Rob took such great care of my dog for day care weekly. He always came home happy, healthy, and exhausted (thank god, he is a high energy Aussie and needed to expel that energy!). Thank you, Jen & Rob for being a safe place for me to bring my dog!”

“Sydney took great care of our 5 month old puppy on a last minute notice! He came home happy and tired from his days playing with her pup. She shared photos throughout the day, reassuring us our puppy was doing well. I highly recommend Sydney!!”

“Jonathan was super responsive and willing to do a meet and greet with us. Our dog can be nervous around bigger dogs, so this was really helpful. We were able to do a short 3-hour daycare soon after and really appreciated all of the updates that Jonathan shared throughout Penny's visit. Thanks, Jonathan!”

About: Hi! I’m a new flight attendant who absolutely loves animals. I have a flexible schedule and only accept bookings when I know I can give your pet my full attention. I’m experienced with dogs of all sizes and personalities, and I’m happy to match your pet’s energy! I love long walks, playtime, and giving lots of pets! I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, so I always provide updates, photos, and quick communication while you’re away. I’d love to meet your furry best friend! 🐾 I’m currently part-time so my schedule is very flexible and wide open! I’m available from all hours of the day and night, whether you work days or nights :) Just let me know what you need and I will accommodate! I live in a decent sized elevator accessible apartment with a loving french bulldog that will happily greet your pup with toys! I live on Manhattan Blvd, so I have beautiful riverfront sidewalks that I can take your pups on long walks, or if you prefer, to my apartment’s private dog park!

“Dottie goes to Emma’s all day, 3 days a week and just loves it! She gets so excited as soon as we pull in the driveway! Emma is responsive, helpful, kind, gentle and great with my little dog!”

“I was very impressed with Lauren!! She took such great care of my boy today. She sent lots of photos and updates through out the day which was so appreciated and eased any worry I had! Brody looked like he had such a good time and I’m so glad he was able to socialize with some other dogs. He seems very happy and also tired lol. Would love to bring him back again soon! Thank you again Lauren!!!”

About: I've had a dog since the day I was born when my parents were given a beagle puppy as a wedding gift. I'm partial to beagles for that reason, but love all breads. Being retired, I'm especially fond of my senior pups, but equally enthused with little pups. I am retired and able to be flexible with my schedule. Your pet will not go unattended in my care. Several parks are within easy walking distance. I have a corner lot, completely fenced in a quiet neighborhood without a through drive. No speedy cars or traffic. Conveniently located near several parks.

About: My wife and I have always had dogs, and they have always been an extremely important part of our lives. We lost our dog Miles a few months ago, and we have made the decision that before we get another dog of our own, we'd like to try boarding dogs for a while, to give us an opportunity to bring that love and companionship back to our home while providing a service to the community, in a place where you know your dog will be safe, receive tons of individual attention, and lots of love. I work at home full-time, so I am always around to provide some attention to pets as I have for many years. It's easy for me to take breaks most anytime to allow the dog to get outside and take care of their business, or just give them some love and attention that they need. I want to care for your dog the way the owner would like, so I will take the lead from the instructions of the owner. We have a nice backyard, and we are in an area that is perfect for walking a dog on a leash. Additionally, there are several dog parks in the area that we can take your dog to if that is something you're interested in.

“Jenny and her family were amazing!! They took care of my dog like he was their own. He had so much fun and didn’t want to leave. Jenny also sent me awesome pictures of all the fun he was having. Thank you so much!”

About: I have been actively involved in training and caring for my parents’ dog since 2020 and regularly pet-sit for their Border Collie and cat when they are out of town. I also frequently care for my sister’s two Australian Shepherds and have looked after them for months at a time while she travels. In addition to my pet-care experience, I nannied children ranging from 9 months to 7 years old throughout college, which strengthened my ability to manage multiple responsibilities, stay calm under pressure, and respond effectively in unexpected situations. I am confident in my ability to safely manage pets, maintain routines, and handle emergencies with care and professionalism. I am currently in my final year of law school, and I bring the same reliability, attentiveness, and responsibility to caregiving that I do to my academic and professional commitments. Pet care fits into my routine as a law student with a flexible schedule. Outside of classes, I prioritize caring for pets and enjoy building it into my day. I currently have ample availability to play with, walk, and care for pets without rushing. I am available for boarding on weekends and for weekday care on Wednesdays and Fridays at any time or Mondays before 2:00pm. I take safety, trust, and consistency very seriously in both my home and my clients’ homes. I carefully follow all provided instructions regarding feeding, routines, medications, and behavior. I maintain a clean, calm environment, supervise pets closely, and use positive reinforcement. I am attentive to signs of stress or illness and communicate promptly with owners. While I do not have a yard, I live very close to Ault Park and love to walk dogs there.

“Kayla and her partner were wonderful with our dachshund. We needed doggie daycare while attending an event. Kayla was excellent to work with and took great care of our little baby. Highly recommend.”

“Akita is professional, very responsive and amazing! My fur baby felt at home immediately. He even ate his food which he never does when he’s away from home. She was so accommodating and did such a wonderful job taking him on plenty of walks and potty breaks! He was so excited for day 2 daycare. I’m so happy I found a forever sitter for my baby! Thank you Akita!”

About: Hi! I’m Jenna — a recent transplant from a Colorado to Cincinnati, and a dog mom of one little munchkin. I know how stressful it can be to leave your dog with someone new, as I used to travel tons! So my goal now that I can care for others is to make both you and your pup feel totally at ease. I’ve cared for dogs on and off the Rover platform of all sizes, ages, and energy levels, from easygoing seniors to high-energy walkers who need a good workout. I’m super detail oriented & therefore very attentive to routines — feeding schedules, walk preferences, medication instructions, and any quirks that make your dog your dog. You can expect regular photo and video updates, clear communication, and a calm, responsible approach to care. I treat every dog like they’re my own, which means I’m a great fit if you’re looking for someone dependable, communicative, and genuinely invested in your dog’s well-being. I’m happy to do a meet-and-greet to make sure it’s a good match! Looking forward to meeting you and your pup 🐾 Im in the office during the week, but regularly free on nights & weekends for support when you have other life commitments. My own dog, Nash, is home when I’m at work and we can arrange crate time or separate rooms if staying overnight. I'm available to take your dog out on long walks, play fetch in the backyard, or just keep them company for a break in their day. Whatever works for your dog works for me!

“Dalton was amazing with Bobbi! Very trustworthy and clearly a dog person!! I can tell Bob felt very safe and comfortable after we picked her up, will definitely be using him again in the future!”

Sara & Miles B.

“Amanda was great! She was responsive and communicative and made us feel comfortable leaving our pug with her for the day. She provided several updates and some cute photos. She offered to let us see the space and to meet the other dogs she was watching prior to the official sit to ensure we were comfortable. She also has a nice closed-in backyard, a big water fountain and lots of space for the dogs!”

Zoe N.

“I know Hensley is well taken care of with Wynn and Lauren. He wags his tail as we drive up their driveway. I highly recommend them for dog care. 🥰”

Elizabeth F.

“Kelly was amazing! Had no worries at all when she was with Mila & all the pictures & videos were so much appreciated! She was great & we highly recommend :)”
