Dog Boarding Santa Fe

“I felt very comfortable leaving Jesse with Mariola. She sent me great pictures as updates. She is loving and really knows how to comfort dogs with anxiety. Would wholeheartedly recommend her!”

“Sherry is an AMAZING dog sitter!! I trusted her to care for my sweet but nervous 50lb girl, Ellie, and I could not have asked for a better sitter. Sherry was so thorough, she sent plenty of updates throughout and put me at ease! She was super responsive to my dog’s needs, and I could see Ellie just melting and falling in love with her through the updates. She’s got a lovely, clean and safe apartment and she is obviously someone who knows dogs well. I would trust Sherry with dog sitting ANY day! Highly recommend.”

“Joann was awesome! She was super accommodating and communicative and sent lots of pictures for our short overnight. Will definitely rebook in the future!”

Emma B.

“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.”

“Michael and VJ are great. Top line communication. Very amenable to the needs of my dog and inherently professional. They kept me informed of what was up with my boy and went above and beyond to keep him safe and healthy. Big thumbs up from us.”

“Once again, Angela took wonderful care of Luna while we were traveling! Luna gets so excited when she senses we’re heading over to Angela’s house!”

“jiajie was a terrific sitter!! The communication was really helpful, as I received lots of photo and video updates. jiajie also gave me a recommendation of pumpkin bites for Bailey's sensitive tummy, which was super useful!”

“Alexandra took great care of our dog while we went on a road trip. She made time to meet with us before confirming the booking and sent us pictures and a video of a happy Roxy during Roxy’s stay with her. Alexandra is also always accessible and accommodating, which made for a pleasant experience overall.”

“Kelly is wonderful! We have a 10 month old 15 pound cavapoo named Daisy who we had to leave for two weeks. We were very nervous about it! Kelly was amazing--so responsible, caring, and reassuring. She clearly loves the work of caring for pets and is very good at it. She sent photos and videos twice a day and responded promptly to all of our communications. Daisy is nervous around other dogs but Kelly made her feel comfortable. Daisy even made some friends! When we came to pick Daisy up, she didn't want Kelly to leave her and whined as Kelly walked away. Kelly's now a part of Daisy's pack! We will definitely have Daisy stay with Kelly again when we have to travel.”

Sarah M.

“Diana was so nice. Tan seemed more comfortable with her than I would expect for her first visit. Diana’s dog is very friendly. Would recommend.”

Joy W.

“Michelle was great! Moose came back from his stay with Michelle tired and happy! We’ll definitely look to have him stay with her again for future trips.”

Morgan F.

“Leaving Nugget with Monica gave me immense peace of mind. From the moment we met for the meet and greet, she was communicative, welcoming, and most importantly, very tuned-in to what Nugget’s needs could be during his stay. Her home was a lovely place for Nugget to stay, and her dog and cat are wonderful companions and very well behaved. The walks in Tilden Park were an added privilege. I couldn’t give a higher recommendation.”

About: I'm based in downtown Oakland and am available to walk (30 or 60 minutes), sit, and/or board any day of the week at this time. I'm experienced with senior dogs, puppies, dogs of various sizes and temperaments, as well medicated pets. I work part time from home with considerable flexibility in my schedule. Dogs have been a part of my life since I raised and trained Herman, a Rottweiler, from puppyhood while I was in high school. As an adult, I fostered Jedi, a Pittie–Boxer mix, for a year and shared eight wonderful years caring for Frankie, my beloved senior puggle, with my partner. Although Jedi and Frankie have recently passed and are now foraging and feasting in heaven, I remain an honorary step-parent to several dogs. Friends have trusted me to walk and care for Esco, a Frenchie–Pittie and lovable bundle of nerves; Mort the pug, an adorable narcissist; Pretzel, a German Shepherd who can outrun and outsmart anyone at the dog park; and Ryordan, a sweet, snaggle-toothed senior Chihuahua. These experiences have made me comfortable caring for dogs of different sizes, ages, energy levels, and temperaments—including anxious and senior pups. I take their walks, meals, playtime, comfort, and naps as seriously as my own. I would love the opportunity to give your pup plenty of attentive, dependable care—and, experience suggests, they’ll soon love me back. I currently have considerable autonomy in my schedule. I'm available to walk, care for, or keep your pup company anytime after 10 AM most days. I live on the ground floor of a Victorian and have small fenced backyard where your dog can sniff around, play, and catch some rays.

“Yeon Soo and her husband took great care of my highly anxious pup! I haven’t left her with anyone since she was a puppy and was nervous I wouldn’t ever find the right person to care for her. Yeon Soon was understanding of all of my dog’s needs and checked in about her preferences for certain things (eg time she could be left alone). I got updates multiple times per day (much appreciated) including photos and videos. By the end of the stay my dog had made herself at home and had some new friends! Very grateful to have found a responsible and caring sitter for my dog.”

Lauren E.

“Very attentive and caring dogsitter. Took great videos and pictures during the overnight boarding stay. Great communication. Thank you for taking care of Rudy!”

“Anchisa is amazing! She is kind and attentive and took wonderful care of our Frenchie while boarding her. Bella is wary of new people and places, but warmed up very quickly to Anchisa and was happy and comfortable with her in no time, due to Anchisia’s warm, loving, and calm demeanor. We will absolutely be requesting her services again!”

Gia V.

“Dylan and his wife took amazing care of my sweet dog, Lulu. They went way, way above and beyond when I was in a bind and she needed extra care. They were thoughtful, responsive, and so kind. I recommend them to everyone I know that needs dog care!!!”

Lily H.

“Our girl Maya was very happy with Claudio. It was her first time with a sitter, so we were nervous. Claudio’s photos & videos helped reassure us that all was well.”
