Dog Boarding in Ralph Bunche, Oakland

“Karen was absolutely amazing with our dog Bennett! We’ve never had such a kind and caring pet sitter that we trusted so easily! We received frequent updates and never had any doubt about the level of care our dog was receiving! I 100% recommend Karen and will definitely book again whenever we need a reliable sitter!”

“April did a fantastic job caring for Clio, our Chiweenie, while we were away for five days. She asked great questions beforehand about Clio's routines and behavior, and we appreciated the daily photos of Clio on walks, chilling out, etc. Our pooch was happy and healthy when we picked up her up. We would gladly ask April to care for her 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!”

“Our dog stayed with Lee twice and had the best time ever. Lee is so trustworthy, kind, and warm. Our dog is nervous and showed no signs of fear around Lee or the other pups in her care, she immediately ran around like she was at home. Lee provided updates and photos and helped give us a peace of mind while we were on vacation and away from our girl. LEE IS THE BEST!”

“Thanks so much Mariola, I really appreciate you watching Chica! I was very comforted by the time you took to ask nuanced questions about Chica’s needs and behavior. Normally I’m a little stressed when Chica is with a sitter, with Mariola I was able to relax knowing she was in good hands. Thank you!! ??”

“Robert and Brian went above and beyond when they took care of my dog last weekend! They are reliable, experienced, caring, and I would highly recommend them. My 70lb dog, who can be quite shy around new people, quickly warmed up to them during the meet & greet, which is a testament to their patience and experience with shy dogs. They also took time to answer all my questions and show me around where the dog would stay/the yard during the meet and greet. Throughout the weekend I received regular updates, including photos and videos, which really put my mind at ease. Robert and Brian took my dog on long walks, spent time playing tug, and even designed enrichment activities like painting for my dog. My dog returned happy and healthy. I am grateful to Robert and Brian for their care and would board my dog with them again.”

“My 2 elderly chis stayed with Sara for a week while I was on vacation. I’m always really stressed when my dogs stay with new people, but Sara took such great care of them. She sent me daily updates and sent tons of photos of their adventures, which helped ease my worries so much. I swear my dogs looked slightly disappointed to see me when I picked them up! Lol. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Sara to anyone. 10/10. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of my dogs!”

“Mary is wonderful! We recently adopted our dog from a shelter and he has some separation anxiety, so we weren't sure how his first overnight stay would go, but Mary's patient and thoughtful approach helped him feel comfortable quickly. We appreciated that she set up a meet & greet with her dog in advance, and then was in touch throughout his stay. We'll be sure to book Mary in the future.”

“Lilly was wonderful with my little girl Kuki! Kuki can be quite anxious with new people and in new environments but Lilly was very patient and gentle with her and made her felt at home! Will definitely have Kuki stay again!”

“Our original plans fell through and Cydney was incredibly reliable. Super responsive and conveniently close to where I live. Rudy really enjoyed staying with Cydney. I would highly recommend and will definitely be booking again in the future!”

“Hanna was great with my pup Pacha all around! Caring and communicative and thorough - I felt so much more relaxed being away knowing she was in such great hands. Thank you Hanna!!!”

“Kristiina immediately impressed us with her no-nonsense competence and obvious love for dogs. She gave our Louis plenty of personal attention, exercise and opportunities for play with others dogs. We will certainly use her services again.”

“Reno had a great time with Ellie and Jurre, their cats, and the other dogs they boarded. We got regular updates, he had lots of different things to do, and they were patient with him during a lot of rain.”

“Alexandra was great with our kitty! She sent me pictures and videos the entire time we were away and I could tell the cat was happy and well cared for. It was a great relief during our long time away to know Tiger was in good hands. Communication was easy and prompt as well.”

“Sophia is such a loving and caring pet sitter! My partner and I had to go on a last minute trip and needed someone to watch our dog and we’re so glad Sophia was available. Our dog Mia felt so comfortable around her and we know Mia had a blast staying with Sophia. I received updates/pictures of Mia throughout her stay which made it feel like Mia was with us throughout our trip :) I highly recommend booking with Sophia if you’re looking for a pet sitter or someone to walk your dog!”

“Our dog was very well cared for during our trip. Sneha is very warm and affectionate and sent us many pictures. Our dog came home happy.”

“My pup had a great time with Jennifer! She provided multiple pictures and updates while I was gone and I felt Peaches was in great hands! Would definitely book again for future trips :)”

“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.”

“Chana did a great job taking care of our dogs. She was flexible with drop off & pickup times and provided lots of dog pictures to put us at ease”

“My dog loves Charlene! Charlene is not only caring, experienced and knowledgeable, but watched Hoku closely altering me to his picky eater tendencies and sleepy head ways. She sends lots of photos and videos to let you know how your dog is doing. The setting is clean, and while there were several dogs, there appears to be lots of space. The house even has air conditioning (a plus during the hot weather - better conditions for the dog than me.) Although happy to see me on my return after four days, I could tell he was comfortable and happy. Thank you Charlene! Hoku will visit again.”
