Dog Boarding in Temescal, Oakland, CA

“I don't know what magic Lee did, but our food loving, pig-disguised-as-a-dog pet stayed in her bed during dinner time instead of begging at the table like she usually does. Bubbles had a great time!”

Mary M.

“As always Megan and Jenny were incredible with my Sunny girl—even took her on last minute! So thankful we have found them. Sunny always comes home happy and tired ❤️”

Jessica W.

“So grateful to have found Jeff and Beth! This was my first time leaving my dog with a sitter and felt so at ease. They do a great job with updates and welcomed my dog into the family. When we got home, she seemed happy, relaxed and social. They are great communicators. It was super easy to facilitate meet and greet, and I knew from their thoughtful questions that they were responsible and conscientious dog sitters.”

Liora M.

“We loved our stay with Karen! The communication was very clear and quick, and Karen did a great job giving our pup a safe, structured stay with plenty of playing and time in the sun. :-)”

“Words can not express how amazing Eiko is as as a host. I had an emergency while out of the country and she stepped in to provide service at a moment’s notice. I can’t recommend her enough.”

Maureen S.

“Mariola is a lifesaver!!! We had to find a sitter for our senior chihuahua and we couldn’t have found anyone better than Mariola!! Our dog found comfort with Mariola and friends staying at her place. With photo updates we knew Dolly was doing well but could tell she would be in amazing hands as soon as we met Mariola. Her caring and loving spirit is easy to feel as soon as you meet her. Will be using her again without a doubt!!”

“This was Rex’s second stay with Mary and Murphy Brown and we couldn’t be happier! Mary is so great and patient with Rex! As a super senior he is on multiple meds and needs potty breaks quite frequently, and Mary jumped right in without skipping a beat. She was in constant communication and shared tons of photos to give me peace of mind during my trip! Rex will be back again next month!”

Daniele H.

“Albina is amazing! 🥰 Her space is peaceful and perfect for dogs, and Midna looked so happy in every update she sent. Communication was easy and clear, and I could tell Midna was in great hands the whole time 💖. I’d definitely book with Albina again—she’s attentive, warm, and clearly loves what she does. Thanks for hosting my baby and being sweet and kind to her! 🥰🫶🏻”

He got comfortable very quickly and seemed so happy on hikes with the other dogs. We got tons of updates and photos of chili at doggy camp. Danielle is so experienced and even had recommendations for us on how to train his reactivity.”

About: I’m a Fear Free Certified Professional, currently studying animal behavior. I’ve been running my own home based doggy daycare and boarding house for four years. My care is crate-free (unless that's what your pup's preferred at-home routine is,) with regular group outings to trails and the beach. I live in a two level home where the entire downstairs and fenced backyard are just for the dogs! It’s colorfully set up as the coolest doggie social club, but the pups are welcome throughout both levels of the home. They are never forcibly isolated and almost always prefer to be close to wherever I am. I keep my client list small and personal—almost all of my dogs have been with me for years. I don’t aim to pack the house; I aim to give the best experience possible for every dog and human involved. Even when clients start as one-offs, they usually stick around—because I strive to be a resource for dogs and their families. That’s why I call this place a home away from home. If you're interested, I invite you to come by for a meet and greet—see the space, meet me, and let me meet your little one. I look forward to being your dog’s new best friend! Canine care is my daily life. The dogs are with me throughout the day—whether we’re in the yard, around the house, or out on a trail. I structure my routine around their needs, with group outings, downtime, and a consistent rhythm. If my personal life calls me away, I have an amazing assistant Alaina who steps in. She also co-runs the daycare! I focus on keeping things consistent, calm, fun, and full of bonding—play, rest, outdoor time, and enrichment are all part of the daily rhythm. Outside of daycare hours, the space functions as our home too, so dogs experience a relaxed, real-life environment, not a facility. I send updates, pictures, and videos throughout the day.

“Phoebe had a great time with Karen & Hisako. They shared photos and updated me throughout her stay. Phoebe came home happy and healthy, will be requesting their help again in the future.”

“Ellie and Jurre took such great care to our sweet pup Pork Rind. My favorite part were the daily updates and all the pictures. Pork had such a great time socializing with other animals, playing in the yard, running at the dog park, and taking long naps and lots of cuddles. Made me happy to know that I can be far away and my sweet boy is still being well taken care of.”

Liz T.

“Keara took care of our dog for a week. She was awesome. Sent us lots of videos and pictures. She was loving and caring with him. Sent us updates, great communication. We felt so comfortable leaving him with Keara.”

Meghan K.

“Claudio was amazing with my little Weez! My dog is pretty shy around strangers at first.... but Claudio was able to make him feel comfortable and start playing with the other dogs:) I will be requesting him again!!”

Anna W.

“This was such a great boarding experience! My pup is elderly and requires some patience and attention, and they were so kind and thoughtful with her. She got a bit sick on the first day and they let me know right away and were happy to make changes to her routine to work with it. I got consistent updates with pictures and felt totally certain that my dog was well cared for the entire time. Definitely one of the best dogsitters I've used through this site.”

Erin R.

“My Yoshi loved Joann! It was their first appointment and it was a sleepover, so I was a little bit worried. Joann was so considerate, sending pics and reassurance about my doggie's comfort. I appreciated her thoughtfulness, and we'll be visiting again soon”
