Dog Boarding in Sobrante Park, Oakland

“Kelly and her family treated my puppy as if she was part of the family. We were really happy with all the pictures, videos, and message updates she sent us. Couldn’t be happier and will definitely book again!”

“Chad & fam were great! Chad was very communicative and caring for our pup, Nova. She seemed like she had a great time staying with him and we'll definitely be booking again!”

“Charlene is clearly a dog lover and Nela had a great time staying with her. She was flexible and responsive, and sent photos daily. She has a yard and a dog friendly house. Highly recommended.”

“Zo went above and beyond taking care of my pup! She was prompt and responsive when scheduling and sent me updates/pictures throughout his stay. Highly recommend!”

“Charlie has a great time with Chawntea and Bailey, he feels comfortable and loved. Our fur babies are also our kids and it reassuring to be on vacation and to know that Charlie is well taken care of and feels at home.”

“Page was an awesome sitter, she was caring and provided videos and pics during our dogs overnight stay…no doubt she will be our go to sitter!”

“Sarah took great care of Charlie once again! It's great to have such a caring, organized person we can entrust him to when we need to go out of town.”

“Matt was available last minute for boarding and took great care of my pup. Communication was good and pickup/drop off were easy.”

“In terms of puppy sitters, there's Francesco & Mary and then there's everyone else !! What more can I say than that if youre in the East Bay and and need a puppy or dog sitter, look no further. F & M are the best!!!! I had to pick my little Weezy up after 3 days because I was worried he wouldn't want to come home with me. He had a blast and my heart was at ease. Would definitely recommend and use again!”

“Thank you for taking such good care of Finn! He had a great time playing with your dogs :)”

“Kim and her husband Jeff are wonderful dogsitters! They took such great care of our dog Rosy and sent us fun daily updates and great pictures so we knew how Rosy was doing. They are so friendly and warm that Rosy immediately liked them when we first met for a meet and greet. We're thrilled to have found Kim and Jeff, and will definitely continue to use them. Rosy was much loved and received plenty of attention in this wonderful household!”

“We would highly recommend Negar as a pet sitter. We have a somewhat difficult senior pitbull who we have never left before and Negar did a fabulous job trying to make her comfortable and accommodating our dog’s oddities. Our pup was in great hands”

“We are so happy we found Jhoanna! She is wonderful. Great communication, very friendly, reasonably priced, and happily scheduled a meet and greet before we booked to make sure our dogs got along (which they did!!). I felt very comfortable leaving our dog with her and her family for a long weekend. She sent updates and photos and was very responsive to questions and check-ins. I will definitely book again with Jhoanna!”

“Excellent as always! Briana is great, and always sends pictures. I’m confident that she takes excellent care of my dog and I will definitely use her services again!”

“Kelly was patient, thoughtful, and attentive with my corgi puppy. He had some tummy and marking issues, and she managed it all with grace. Kelly provided detailed updates and communicated regularly which was appreciated. Will hire again!”

“Our dog Bella stayed with Suzanne for 5 days she came home tired , I’m sure she enjoyed playing with the other dogs and running around Suzanne back yard and resting in the dog room. Bella’s regular sitter was not available and I’m glad that we found Suzanne. We didn’t receive much updates and pictures but Suzanne was fast on responding on my messages and easy to communicate with. Will definitely have Suzanne in mind next time we need sitter for Bella.”

“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.”

About: I have been caring for animals of all kind (and children!) since I was a teen. I worked at Sulphur Creek Nature Center as an animal educator, and have been a consistent pet sitter for friends and family. My wife has extensive experience caring for farm and zoo animals (having worked at both the Oakland Zoo and Disney Animal Kingdom). Personally, I grew up with dogs, cats, birds, and reptiles in my home as pets. Now, I have one darling mini Australian Shepherd who is 2 years old and very friendly with all kinds of dogs. We raised her from 11 weeks and so have experience caring for puppies. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule, so I am able to take a lot of special needs into consideration! I take my own dog on two walks a day, and am able to change our schedule according to your dog’s needs. I am almost always available via phone or text. Our home has a large fenced backyard with a small doggy door entrance to the home - if your dog can’t use the doggy door, we can just leave a door open for them. Because I am home all the time, I will never leave your pet unsupervised. I carefully ensure our home is free from anything dangerous and keep an eye on all animals during their stay to make sure they are safe and comfortable. My dog Nola is active and playful - if your dog needs more space to hang out alone and rest, I can separate them without a problem.

“Bethany and her family took excellent care of Sadie and are all around delightful. I felt entirely at ease leaving her with them. Bethany was very responsive and clear in her communications and ensured that she understood the details of Sadie’s care. I would 100% ask Bethany to watch Sadie again!!”

“Daniel was great! Our dog was very comfortable with him from the start, and he took excellent care of her. He provided great photos, and made sure to give us updates. He also asked very pertinent questions to prepare for our dog’s arrival that showed how knowledgeable and experienced he was. Thank you Daniel!”
