“It’s clear that Lee has such love for pups! My dog Buffy can be shy around other pups at first, but Lee’s positivity helped my pup settle in with ease. I’ll definitely be reaching out again in the future. Thank you, Lee!”


“Danielle took great care of my dog! Usually my dog is very sad when I leave but she was running to meet Danielle and to get inside. She played all day with Danielle’s dog and they became fast friends. I loved all the photos and updates I received throughout the day! My dog was in safe hands, I couldn’t recommend Danielle more! I will definitely have her babysit again”


About: I’ve done neighborhood dog care in high school for 2 years and in college occasionally take care of my friends cats while they are away. I’m a full time student at Cal but my classes are all during the morning so afternoons and evenings I am normally available to go for walks, feed, or play with pets. I have a fenced back yard and a pet friendly lease for my apartment. While boarding I would put fragile valuables away securely in my loft.


“Michelle was wonderful and understood the needs of our very energetic 5-month-old puppy. She's very responsive and kept us updated through out the day as well! Will definitely rebook again :)”



“Ashley helped us out in a pinch and exceeded our expectations! She cared for our dog and quickly helped acclimate our anxious dog. We’ll definitely be asking Ashley for services in the future! Thanks for loving our pup like your own :)”


“Emily is a fantastic dog sitter! She watched my pup overnight, kept me updated with photos and messages, and made sure Roxy felt right at home. Her dog, Kibli, is super sweet and was such a fun (and gentle!) playmate, even though he’s much bigger than Roxy. I found Emily to be completely trustworthy and responsible, and it’s clear she genuinely enjoyed spending time with my dog. Roxy came home happy, well cared for, and tuckered out from all the playtime—I couldn’t ask for more!”

“Claudio was amazing with Xico. Xico does not always get along with other dogs, but Claudio has the ability to ease any tension or fear Xico may feel around new dogs. Claudio went above and beyond to make Xico feel at home. They even went to Alameda beach! I know Xico felt safe and happy due to Claudio’s warm energy. I’m so happy Xico could socialize and have fun this week!”


About: I have 3 lazy shih tzus who loves to be chauffeur in their stroller. We live in a house with fenced yard that has a nice lawn for relaxation or doggie tag. I have been caring for dogs since college (a long time ago!) from puppies to seniors. My doggies and I have travelled all of the country when I used to travel often for work, which trained me with care techniques as well as identifying behaviors and administering medications. I am 5 minutes walking distance from Berkeley Dog & Cat 24 Hours Hospital and can quickly get medical attention when necessary. The neighborhood has a handful of nice spaces for strolling, including parks, college campus, and quaint streets lined with shops. I have 2 teens who also love animals and occasionally help look after the dogs when I briefly step out for groceries or similar errands that are close by. The doggies all enjoy indoor and the fenced back yard. It is clean and secure. They also love sitting on the front porch with me and people watch. I do have a crate, but most of the time they are free to roam around the house. I never have more than 6 dogs, including my own, so that each one will get adequate attention.

“Sara was awesome! She was super friendly and Wes warmed right up to her. She was very communicative throughout the day sending lots of texts and picture updates which I really appreciate :) Wes seemed to have a great time.”



“Great experience. We had a meet and greet and Whiskey got to meet Douglas and Pepe. During the actual day care, I received regular updates and was flexible with the pick up time. Whiskey was very happy and tired out by the end of the day”



“Anchisa kept my dog Walter for doggy day care on my long work days. I am completely pleased and so happy we found her! From time of booking throughout his whole stay her communication is excellent with updates and pics! He is no longer nervous when I get ready for work since he knows he will be seeing her. I would trust her completely for boarding if I leave town as well. I am so grateful we found you!”


“Jessie is wonderful! Neo is always so excited when he spends time with Jessie and her pup, Doug. So much so that he sometimes doesn't even want to leave at the end of the day :P I love all of the pictures and updates that Jessie sends throughout the day, and it's clear that she adores dogs and treats her doggie guests as her own.”


About: I have three years experience boarding dogs. They get out twice a day and everyone's food needs are taken care of. The dogs play in my living room and sleeping arrangements vary on the dog. I understand that these amazing creatures are a part of your family. I don't take that for granted. I am committed to keeping the pups entertained, loved and safe. Dogs can be unpredictable. I have chased dogs who have slipped their leashes for miles around the neighborhood. I have broken up fights. Carried a 55 pound pitbull who went into anaphylactic shock 4 blocks to my car and raced her to the vet. I've spit in dogs noses to save them from a foxtail (it works by the way). When you drop off your dog at my house rest assured you're getting someone who will do everything they can to keep them happy, and safe.

“Couldn’t be more grateful and happy with Simone taking great care of our baby pup. I loved how she was very thoughtful going out of her way to go to the pet store to get treats for Nyla since I forgot to pack some. Nyla looked like she was having fun and had a great time from the pictures and video updates from Simone. So glad I chose her to watch Nyla. Will definitely rebook her whenever we need someone to watch and take care of our puppy. 🤎”


“Maxwell is incredibly slow to trust people. The moment he met Mary at our meet & greet I could Tell she had a special energy (he even tried to follow her into her apartment after they met). After this stay, I am so confident she is going to be an excellent fit for my sweet pup. She spent time with him 1:1 upon arrival before bringing him up to meet her dog (making sure he got comfy), she took him on errands and walks and sent the sweetest photos of him meeting the neighbors, and she was flexible and dropped him off at our house when our plans got delayed. Very much looking forward to more stays with Mary!”


“Theo had a great day with Alexis. Alexis clearly cared for him and was VERY understanding that he is a puppy and has a lot to learn. The care and attention made it easy for me to handle work and know that Theo was going to be taken care of while traveling in the area. Would highly recommend!”


“Amy is the peace of mind you need when you leave your beloved pup for the evening! With Amy, I received a timely response, stellar communication, and, above all, felt the genuine love given to our little Millie (Spoiler: it was top notch) Can't recommend her services enough!”

“This is the best Doggie Daycare and border in the East Bay, hands-down. I have been bringing my Labrador to Nik and Jessica for years and have referred several people to them who have become regulars. Jessica and Nik have two dogs at their own and our lifelong dog lovers and experienced care providers. A number of things set them apart, starting with being just a few blocks away from Oakland’s best dog park, Bushrod. The dogs get to come to this amazing park twice a day. When they are not at the park there is no shortage of entertainment in their spacious home, which includes multiple outdoor spaces. They are generous with treats like bully sticks and Jessica even cooks homemade snacks for them. They love all the dogs as if they are their own. Lastly, their pack always has a good vibe. My dog is happy when I drop him off and happy when I pick him up, and also exhausted, in a good way. Only problem I have is half the time he does not want to leave!”
