Dog Boarding in School, Oakland

“She was phenomenal. Dealt with both of my stubborn dog and cat in great stride. Gave me lots of updates and really cared for my guys well. The dog is still sleeping so definitely got plenty of exercise. Highly recommend.”

“If I could give her seven stars, I would! We use Kelly exclusively as our puppy sitter. Her kindness, caring nature and attention to detail are top-notch. Our dog is always thrilled to see her and have a "vacation" at her house.”

“Timothy and Kat were fantastic hosts to Lucy. They were communicative before/during the stay, listened to our specific requests, and showered her with cuddles. Would definitely have Lucy stay with them again.”

“Billie had a great week with Chad! We were also so appreciative that he’d given her a bath before we picked her up, after a week of heavy rain and likely very muddy paws!”

“Jeff and his family are incredible! Our dog, Billie-Jean, is often anxious when she stays with others but this wasn’t the case at all with Jeff. They made her feel comfortable and she relaxed into their home immediately. Photos showed her tail and ears up, both good signs of happiness. Jeff and his family also went above and beyond to make sure Billie stayed on her schedule having a long off leash hike every morning. We are so happy to have finally found a fantastic dog boarder for our frequent travels.”

“Lauren has been the most amazing care taker to our dog Zorro! She bonded with him immediately, paid attention to his special needs, and gives him an incredible stay everytime we've dropped him off. I can tell Zorro is not ready to leave when we pick him up. Totally worth every penny for the peace of mind and security my wife and I have knowing that our little guy is well cared for at Lauren's.”

“Kim and Jeff took amazing care of Mojo. They sent lots of updates and pictures, and you could tell he got lots of love during his stay. When I arrived to pick him up, he tried to walk right back in their house, which I take as an excellent sign ;) Would definitely recommend and use them again anytime!”

“Excellent dog boarder! Donald was very communicative, professional, and has a kind and skilled interaction with dogs. Our return flight was late and Donald was able to accommodate a late pickup time. We will certainly rebook with Donald again!”

“Thanks Zina!”

“Kara took wonderful care of our dog, Charlie, while we were out of town for a wedding. She was really easy to communicate with, sent us pictures, and I could tell Charlie felt really happy and comfortable staying with her.”

“They are amazing! Best dog sitters we had so far! They treat our dogs as if they were their own. And we have 3 dogs. When we go out of town, we can always count on them to be there for our dogs. We know our dogs are in good hands. They always send us picture update when we miss them, which is reassuring. Our dogs loved them.”

“Mary was fantastic! She gave us constant updates and really showed how she cared for our dog. Definitely going to have our dog stay with her again!”

“Kat is an exceptional pet care giver and is very sweet, kind, and thoughtful. When I took a break from pet sitting in 2022, I passed off my recurring clients to Kat because I knew Kat was someone they could trust. Each of these clients had only lovely things to say. I’ve seen Kat care for pups and cats of all kinds. You will be happy with Kat taking care of your pets!”

“Francesca is a dog whisperer and sent from the heavens! If you are reading this, take this as your sign to book Francesca if she is available! She cares deeply about animals, and truly gets to know your pet. She loves dogs so much and it shows. Luna was so happy with her, and they went on a ton of adventures at the dog park, and on hiking trails. Luna is extremely high energy and Francesca can handle all of it! Can’t recommend her more, and hope that she can always watch Luna when we’re ever away. Thank you for everything!”

“I left my pup Benny for a full two weeks with Selena, which is the longest I’ve ever left him with a pet sitter! She made sure to send regular updates and pictures, and made it easier than expected to be away from him for so long. I’m so appreciative of the care she provides and I know Benny had a great time with her!”

About: My husband and I have owned and cared for dogs for many years. We don’t have one of our own right now but love dogs and would love to open our house and yard to host your loved one and care for them while you are away. We both work from home and will be able to be there most of the day to let dogs in and out, make sure they are taken care of and show them lots of love. We have a fully fenced in yard with both sun and shade and live on a quiet street in a two story house with lots of room for dogs to explore.

“Sara was great! Super responsive, lots of pics, and our dog got along amazingly with hers. Would highly recommend!”

“Deez is a wonderful and loving friend to animals! She has walked and sat with both my Standard Poodle and Great Dane numerous times and she treats animals with care, respect, and gentle but firm guidance. As anyone with larger breed dogs know, it is imperative to find the right walker for them. Someone that is both physically capable but also I think equally important that they understand and maintain good leash etiquette. Deez has been wonderful with my dogs over the years and I am grateful to her for all the tips and tricks she's shared with me over the years and the consistency my dogs can expect from her to me. I love that she is such a disciplined caretaker and can trust that my babies are in good hands when she is here. Thank you Deez for being so reliable and kind!”

“During my time off traveling I was so grateful to have Zo take care of my dog, Caju. Zo was incredibly responsive to my messages, and she made sure to send me updates throughout the day. She even sent us pictures of Caju playing with her dog, Bruno - Caju misses him, I’m sure! My dog clearly had so much fun with Zo and her family. I couldn't have asked for better care. I would highly recommend Zo to anyone who needs a dog sitter; and her space was perfect to support the needs of my highly energetic dog. We would definitely rely on Zo again in the future. Thank you Zo!”

“Kelly and her family are outstanding! They took great care of my pup. They treated her just like family. From the video/picture updates I can tell that Kodak was having a great time. I highly recommend booking with her.”
