Dog Boarding in Orinda

“Patrick was great, he has an amazing big yard and our dog Coco seemed very happy there. It was our first time boarding Coco and it was very reassuring to have daily updates (including pics) from Patrick. Will for sure use his services again.”

“Maria & Kevan along with their wonderful girls were amazing petsitters for our Labrador Retreiver, Louie. From the moment I dropped off Louie and met them, I could tell he was going to be completely comfortable, well-cared for, and loved for the duration of his 10 day stay with their family. Receiving a photo or two of Louie each day was amazing and it was heartwarming to see Louie so happy getting lots of snuggles, playtime with his toys, neighborhood walks, and peaceful naps at their feet. Thank you so much to Maria & Kevan and their daughters for making Louie feel like a part of their family! Louie can't wait to visit again!”

“Ulunma was wonderful! It was my first time using any sort of doggy daycare for my dog, and he had a blast with Ulunma. She sent lots of photos of him playing and swimming. Thank you, Ulunma! :)”

“Valerie was exceptional! Her attention to and care for my puppy Monroe was expert and knowledgeable. This was Monroes first time away from home, and Valerie was rightfully concerned about his severe separation anxiety. Like the professional she is, she helped Monroe through it while updating me with pictures, information, and tips the entire time. Valerie is very down to earth, friendly, and caring. Your fur friends are 100% in excellent hands!”

“Madeleine was so fantastic! This was the first time we left our dog with anyone, and I was so happy everything went smoothly. Our dog warmed up to Madeleine immediately and she was very accommodating to our needs and concerns. Thank you so much for making our pup feel safe and comfortable!”

“Awesome sitter! Took care of my guy for a few days, sent photos of my guy on walks, playing, sleeping on the couch. Clearly a household of dog lovers who go above and beyond to make sure your pup feels cared for and loved. My guy is a snuggle bug and I got plenty of photos of him snuggling with various members of the family. Made me happy and took the stress out of boarding my dog, also has the best rates locally. Check him out, great guy, family man, dog lover, you wont be disappointed!”

“Jeff and Beth were wonderful pug sitters. We got lots of updates and photos on his stay for 3 nights. It looked like he got a lot of attention. Would book again!”

Anders C.

“Nicole took great care of Sophie and kept her entertained with walks downtown and to the park. We are so grateful to have found Nicole to watch our pup and plan to book with her again.”

“Angela was awesome with Maple. She gave daily updates and made sure that my very active dog was able to get her energy out every day. Would highly recommend/rebook in the future!”

Jordan P.

“Robert was absolutely wonderful with our girl Phoebe on her first overnight! We were a bit apprehensive as Phoebe has separation anxiety but she was happily occupied with multiple walks and so much love! Robert's level of conscientiousness is unmatched and we completely entrust him with Phoebe's health and safety, including keeping her away from other dogs so her reactiveness isn't triggered. We couldn't ask for more!”

About: I’d love to care for and walk your pets. Dog park romps, petting sessions, and snuggling provided. I care for them in my home or drop into your home as needed. Experience with large animals, geriatric and young animals. If you are traveling and need a reliable, fun, experienced sitter for your pets, I’d be happy to do a meet and greet and meet you and your pets. I have a 6year old neutered male Australian Sheppard and a 2 year old indoor/outdoor cat. Both are amenable to sharing their space with new furry friends. I'm an active retiree so I have plenty of time for your furry family members. My dog loves to play with new furry friends or chill and give them space. I have a fenced yard and dog door for in and out privileges. I accept dogs that are crated at night or free roaming. Home is well suited to pets.

“Amazing experience & Fadi and Truffle became best friends :)”

“Kit took wonderful care of our puppies! She was very attentive, gave us detailed updates, and was so accommodating when our plane was delayed! She took the time to get to know our dogs and made sure all their unique needs were met. Her love for dogs really shows!”

“Lucia and Chan took such great care of our dog Louise—it’s clear Louise quickly felt right at home! We also appreciated the multiple updates throughout the stay.”

“Matthew was so great with our dog, Pemba. We found out the day before our trip that Pemba had a leg injury, and Matthew knew just what to do. He was really careful about keeping her safe and happy during her stay. Thank you so much, Matthew!”

“Meera is the best, Stella had a great time with her and Riley. She took Stella for a walk many times and kept me posted about everything at all times. Riley and Stella became best friends, I can wait to book again and I couldn’t recommend her more❤️🥳 thank you Meera!”

Vera O.

“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! From the start, Tierra was incredibly considerate of our dog’s routine and needs. We loved getting the daily updates and photos—it really put our minds at ease while we were away. It was clear our dog felt right at home at her place and was treated like family. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!”

About: I absolutely love all animals! Growing up, my family always had a minimum of two dogs at a time. Since I was young, I have been trusted by friends and family members to watch over not only their pets, but their plants as well. As an adult living alone, I have only ever had 1 cat at a time in my home, however, my plant game has grown to a bit of a jungle! On top of taking care of animals, I also LOVE a clean house and I take it upon myself to always leave people’s homes cleaner than I found them in! I’m currently looking to open my own business doing just that: Pet sitting and deep cleaning while folks are out of town. In my opinion, there is nothing better than coming home from a vacation or a work trip to a clean home and a happy animal! I have been working with Meowtel watching cats for the last year and have found it to be exceptionally rewarding. Recently, my sweet cat passed away and I left my demanding job. Due to these circumstances I have decided that since I have the time and opportunity, opening my home to board would be a great way to expand my offerings. I look forward to meeting this community and giving dog (cat, plant, etc.) owners peace of mind while they travel, get stuck working a double, or just want to support their companion with an extra afternoon walk. I left my extremely demanding job in December after my cat got sick. I wanted to spend as much time with him as possible. Since his passing, I have focused on taking care of pets and cleaning homes. This has brought me more joy than any demanding corporate job, and I hope I can continue to work in this capacity for many years in the future. My schedule is very flexible! I am an animal lover living in an animal free home at this moment. Because of this, I am open to boarding. I am not concerned with animals who want to sit on the couch with me or lay on the bed, but I will follow the rules of what they’re allowed to do at home if you prefer that. My home will be their home, and I will do everything to make sure that they feel safe and cared for while in my hands. I’m an active person and love taking long walks and hikes. So, if that’s something that your dog is into, I am happy to schedule an adventure that meets their mileage needs! On the contrary, if you have a small dog or one who just wants to go out for a stroll around the block or to do their business in the grass, I’m happy to do that too! I have a small unfenced side yard to accommodate. I live on the second floor of an apartment building with no elevator, so if your pup is not able to do stairs and is too heavy to pick up, my home wouldn’t be a good fit.
