Dog Boarding in Old City-Produce And Waterfront, Oakland

“The hype about Sara is 10000% true!!! I left my baby boy with her for 2 weeks after only having him for 2 months, and though I missed him, I never had a moment of worry because I knew he was in the very best of hands (and paws) with her and Soba!! Sara kept me updated very regularly and sent me such wonderful photos. She's a super transparent and effective communicator, and obviously has a special touch with dogs. My pup had so much fun playing, adventuring, cuddling and relaxing with her! She really went above and beyond in terms of being so attentive, working with his training, and making sure he had a super enriching time while I was away. I'm so grateful that she took the best care of him. As long as Sara's available I will never consider another sitter!”

“Phoebe had a great time with Karen & Hisako. They shared photos and updated me throughout her stay. Phoebe came home happy and healthy, will be requesting their help again in the future.”

“Jennifer was great; lots of pictures and updates. Looked like Pickles had a great time on her cat tree and playing with the cat toys. Will definitely be sending her back over when we're out of town again.”

“Karen is a lovely human and a dedicated dog lover. We adopted a hound last July and she has had a few challenges, so we looked for a boarding option that would be a positive experience for our dog while also providing enough supervision and calm attentive care so she would feel comfortable. Our pup has become very attached to me because of the many times she was abandoned, so it really took a special touch to help her feel safe right away. Karen’s dog Ginsburg became her pal, and they spent hours basking in the sun on the deck in the backyard. When our pup came home after staying with Karen she was happy and calm, with no added nervousness or reactivity after the change. From our first meeting when Karen and Ginsburg met us for a walk Karen was also a wonderful resource, sharing helpful ideas after listening closely to our specific challenges with our sweet sensitive hound. After our first meeting I asked if we could meet a second time and Karen suggested we meet at her house so I could see how Rosie behaved in her home. This was such a helpful step, and helped me feel comfortable boarding her at Karen’s house. If you want a household of dog lovers who truly care about your dog’s well being and healthy development, then this is the place for you!”

“Lilly and her husband, David, took excellent care of our dog! Lily has been very attentive to details, and our dog warmed up to her very quickly. Her frequent updates, both written and in photos, gave us much-needed peace of mind during vacation. What’s more amazing is that our dog picked up commands that she long forgot and new ones from Lilly’s training during her stay with Lilly. We highly recommend them!”

“Charlene watched my dog for the first time last weekend and all I can say is that she's amazing. She sent lots of pictures and videos and she took the time to text me detailed updates so I didn't need to worry about a thing. I love how she paid extra attention to my dog to figure out what made her comfortable - she gave my dog an opportunity to sleep with other dogs but then when she saw that my dog wasn't going to sleep, she brought her to her bed and my dog passed out instantly. I loved that - she took the time and attention to get to know my dog's preferences. She was reliable and always quick to respond to me and I will definitely work with her again!”

“Stephanie is absolutely amazing. She watched both of our dogs for a week and provided daily updates on what they were up to and included some amazing pictures. One of our dogs wasn’t feeling amazing a few of the days and Stephanie went above and beyond to notify us and even offered to take the dog to the vet. Both dogs are properly exhausted after an amazing visit with Stephanie, even teaching me a fun game to play with the dogs! I 100% trust Stephanie with my dogs and honestly can’t put into words how happy I am to have found her.”

“Nikita & Anthony are amazing dog sitters. I trusted them completely to take care of my older dog while I was out of town. Really sweet people and excellent communication- clearly dog lovers. 10/10 would recommend.”

“Lee is incredible! We boarded our dog Mochi with her for two weeks while we traveled, and Lee took wonderful care of her. Mochi can be nervous around new people and dogs, and Lee made sure she was comfortable and safe in her care. Lee is also super communicative and responsive, and easy to work with. Would definitely recommend her!”

“We needed someone to watch our 5 month old pup fairly last minute, and for 7 days. They were wonderful. They asked all the right questions up front, sent daily photos, videos, and little updates. It was very low stress for us and we didn’t have any worries, which was so great ❤️ When another pup chewed through Pennys leash, they even replaced it and bought us the same one! Penny seemed very calm and happy when we picked her up. We met Jake at drop off and pickup and he was so kind. Very thankful for them, and will be a repeat customer.”

“April is by far one of the best rover sitters I have ever encountered. We decided to do a meet and greet beforehand. April was so very in kind in letting myself and little Kobi come into her home. This was a first for me as all of my previous meet and greets were done at a park, on a walk, etc. this allowed for me to see where Kobi would be staying and give some ups on his behaviors, etc. She was so very generous in answering all of my questions and I felt so much at ease knowing that I was able to give her a proper download well in advance. Kobi stay went swimmingly! I received a lot of photos and updates. April kept me up to date with the going’s on and made sure to run things by me as the days progressed. I feel so very fortunate to have found her and I can’t wait to book with her again! Do not hesitate to use April as she will take great care of your little one.”

“This was Rocco's second stay with Jeff and family. He recognized where we were as soon as we started walking to the door and got really excited. They are so great with Rocco, give him lots of attention, take him on off-leash walks, and generally spoil him. We are already planning his next stay.”

“Ingyin was so incredibly kind and communicative, and she gave my pup Zippy so much love. He has a lot of separation anxiety and can take a bit to adjust to new situations, so it made me so happy to see pictures of him comfortable in her house and cuddling up almost immediately. Thank you so much, Ingyin 💗💕”

“Mary is absolutely incredible. Our dog, Finn, is a quirky senior who is often slow to trust strangers - within 24 hours of being with Mary, he was asking her for pets and cuddles! That tells you all you need to know. She was extremely communicative, sent us lots of cute pictures and overall left us so at ease knowing our little guy was cared for. Can’t recommend her enough!”

“Alexandra was an incredible pet sitter for my almost 3-year-old mini bull terrier. Alexandra is a clear communicator, proactive, kind, responsible, attentive, and loves animals. My dog stayed with Alexandra and her two kiddos for 5 days/nights, and I was able to fully enjoy my vacation because of Alexandra's excellent communication. She kept me updated and texted me each day before I had a chance to worry about anything (after all, she was caring for my fur baby!). I felt at ease knowing that my pup was in loving and attentive hands, and I could text any time I felt the need. My dog is super friendly and also has some behavior quirks. She can get overexcited, and Alexandra had no problem following all the care instructions. She noticed my dog's comfort or discomfort and ensured she got what she needed. When I picked up my pup, she was quite content and even gave Alexandra a little lick goodbye, which told me even more about the care Alexandra and her family gave my little one. So many thanks, and I will definitely book again!!”

“When dropping off my dog my immediate impression of the host Family and home dissipated all concerns for my dog who has attachment issues because of abandonment as a puppy, and who has never been boarded. I knew he would be well taken care of. Laura and Patrick are like the neighbors you wish you had. They sent me photos of the progression from sad dog to part of the Family. When I picked him up he was excited to see me, but actually turned to the host to say an emotional good bye. Thank you! I recommend this host and will definitely trust them with my pet again in the future. I am very grateful”

“Melinda was absolutely amazing. When I dropped off my fur baby to her I knew he would be in good hands. She made sure to send me pictures to ease my anxiety I would definitely recommend her”

“Kelly has went above and beyond to help our 12 week old puppy feel comfortable and happy. Our puppy Ruby got to meet other small dogs to play and socialize, got plenty of treats and outdoor time, and Kelly was even kind enough to allow us extra time when we couldn’t pick her up right away. We’re beyond thankful to have her and will be repeat clients for sure.”

“Jennifer and Jordan took great care of my labradoodle. I got picture updates 2x a day, and they were extremely prompt in their communication. My dog is looking forward to seeing them again!!!”

“I felt really comfortable leaving my dog with Jane. She sure took care of him well and he came back very happy dog.”
