Dog Boarding in Patten, Oakland

“I wasn’t sure if my dog Toby would want to come home because I could tell he was having the time of his life all weekend long. I look forward to Toby spending more time at Lee’s home again soon!”

Katherine H.

“Megan and Jenny exceeded our expectations by providing daily updates and of course superb care for Turbo. I could tell Turbo enjoyed the environment and interactions with Megan and Jenny. High recommended!”

“Finn had such a good time at Vanessa’s. He was safe and well cared for and we are very appreciative!”

“Alex kept my golden retriever for a week and left me feeling GREAT about the boarding. From the daily pix & videos, it seemed that Alex integrated Mika into her family life completely, even having her at their backyard easter egg hunt! Mika got lots of play time & tons of petting, played with her daughters at the playground across the street, and did her napping right under Alex's feet when she was working. Such a great feeling to know your dog is well cared for when away. Thanks so much Alex!”

“Kit was so wonderful with our dog! We had a short meet n greet in advance which was great because Kit asked really good questions to get to know our dog and how to best make her feel comfortable. Our dog can be a little anti-social but did great with Kit’s two little sweet dogs. We highly recommend giving your dog a little staycation at Kit’s lovely home.”

“Harley had a terrific time with Jeff & Beth. She came home happy & exhausted. Thank you for all the pictures and updates! She clearly seemed at "home" in your house! I will definitely be reaching out the next time we need a doggie-sitter.”

Nicole S.

“Andrea is amazing! We left our dog with her for about a week, and our dog was comfortable the entire time and had so much fun. She’s very sweet and attentive, and our dog gets along so well with her two dogs. We loved the daily updates and photos/videos.”

Alexandra R.

“Kristen and Ryan were very welcoming of our pup! They were understanding of her nuances and helped her adjust to a new environment fast. They have a nice spacious home with a big backyard that our dog loved relaxing in. Kristen and Ryan were very communicative throughout the stay and sent daily updates with photos. 100% recommend!”

“Hy and Arlo did a great job watching my dog, Enzo. With them I was able to put my worries at ease (considering that Enzo is very reactive towards other dogs). They are very trustworthy and caring. An excellent experience, I highly recommend them.”

Geraldina H.

“Our Mimi had her first overnight with April. Everything went great. April even constructed a ramp so Mimi could go up and down the bed without jumping. She is still in-coordinated after spinal cord surgery. This was meant to be a rehearsal before a 2-week boarding at the end of the month. We are so happy to know Mimi will be in good hands.”

“Chawntea is amazing! Bear was well taken care of and she sent many pictures and videos of him so I could see how much fun he was having. Definitely recommend!”

Nicolette B.

“We went on a 10 night trip and Kelly took excellent care of our sweet pup who is used to getting pampered and spoiled. She went above and beyond and we couldn’t have felt more secure and comfortable. She will now be his home away from home and we greatly appreciate all of her care.”

Linda V.

“Chad provided a great sit for my 2 dogs. They were clearly well cared for. Between the two of them, they need a lot of meds and Chad willingly dispensed them. They'll be back! Thanks, Chad.”

Katherine K.

“Melina is super sweet, caring and full of positive energy. She is great with communication, very punctual and fast to respond. Our puppy seemed super happy from the minute he met Melina until the end of his stay. We are sure he had a pleasant time and enjoyed his stay. We cannot recommend her enough, we already rebooked her twice and will always do if she is available!”

Tina M.

“Lupi had a great stay with Erika and the Pea! It was very comforting to see adorable photo and video updates from Erika throughout Lupi's stay. Erika also did a great job communicating with the owner. Overall we were very happy with her services and will be choosing Erika and family again!”

Judy L.

“Thank you Isaac and Jordan for taking such great care of Max! My dog has a lot of separation anxiety and can be a bit of a handful at times, but Isaac and Jordan did a great job making sure he got a lot of care and attention throughout his stay. I got a lot of great pictures and updates throughout his stay, and they even have a large doggy play-place and potty area where Max got to play and meet other fur friends.”

Bryant R.

“I couldn’t be happier with the care Koko received from Miki. She helped me to pickup my rescue dog from the shelter. The situation it’s very difficult for me when I am living out of state. It was very clear how kind, responsible, and genuinely loving she is with animals. She kept me updated with photos and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind while waiting for someone transport Koko back to AZ. I’m so grateful to have found someone I trust completely. Highly highly recommend!”

About: Hi, I’m Austin – a lifelong dog lover with over 15 years of hands-on experience caring for pups of all sizes and temperaments. I’ve been looking after dogs since I was 12, and it’s more than just a job to me—it’s a way of life. I know every pet has a unique personality, and I take the time to build trust and make sure they feel safe, loved, and totally at ease. Whether your dog’s full of energy or a little shy like my own pup Lady, I’m all about meeting them where they’re at. You can count on me for dependable, compassionate care—and plenty of tail wags. Also, I can teach your dog how to shake within an hour (: I currently work from home and part time as I have my own business that I passively run with a lot of help from my manager. So I have plenty of time for your pets and my own pup I offer a calm, secure environment where pets can relax and feel at home. My house has plenty of space for them to roam inside, plus a large fully fenced backyard for safe outdoor play and fresh air. I always supervise backyard time and tailor the day to match your dog’s energy level and needs. If your pup is crate-trained or needs a quiet space to unwind, I’ve got clean, comfortable crates available. Safety is my top priority—I keep a close eye on each dog and never take on more pets than I can give proper attention to. You can trust that while you’re away, your dog will be in a safe, loving, and well-managed space.

“We loved our stay with Karen! The communication was very clear and quick, and Karen did a great job giving our pup a safe, structured stay with plenty of playing and time in the sun. :-)”

“I found myself in a bit of a bind. My partner was going into a last minute surgery and we needed to find someone to take care of our dog on short notice. I reached out to Dvora and almost immediately heard back. I appreciated Dvora's request to have my dog come by her house and hang out for an hour just to see how she reacted to other dogs and to Dvora's home. Thankfully my dog seemed to adapt well and we confirmed boarding for 3 nights. Over the next few days I got regular updates and even a couple photos which really helped ease my mind that my dog was well taken care of. My partner's surgery went well but we had to stay in the hospital an extra night. Dvora was able to accommodate boarding our dog one more night. Overall, I really appreciate how thoughtful Dvora was in the care of our dog. She really understands the behavioral pattern of dogs. She has a nice backyard which I appreciate because my dog had the space to run around and play. My dog even got along super well with a different dog Dvora was taking care of. What a great experience and would highly recommend Dvora for your boarding needs.”
