Dog Boarding Waverly

“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.”

“Terry was pulling with excitement when he realized he was getting dropped off under Alexandra’s care again. Alexandra took great care of my dog. She was very accommodating of drop off and pick up times, and sent daily update photos and videos. Terry was in great spirits when I picked him up. Thanks Alexandra!”

“Len was fantastic! He took care of our pup Wisco after our last minute change of travel plans for 4th of July weekend. Our dog is older, had just started some medication, and also is afraid of fireworks (so not ideal to be away from home during 4th of July). That said, Len made sure to understand her sensitivities so he could create an environment where she felt safe/comfortable given the holiday weekend. He shared the cutest photos of her while we were away, and we came to a very happy dog. Would absolutely book with Len again.”

“Astro had the best time with Joann! She was really thorough on her updates on how he’s doing everyday. I could tell she took very good care of him. Thanks again, Astro will be back!”

“Mary was absolutely amazing! I am extremely grateful for all of the updates and videos from her during my dogs stay with her. She was super attentive to my dogs schedule and needs (or more so mine for peace of mind). Would def use her again and recommend her! My dog seemed happy and comfortable with her (and her dog). Thank you Mary!”

“Ekaterina was a wonderful sitter for my senior dog, Thor! She was very easy to communicate with and provided lots of updates and pictures while I was away. She even taught my dog a new trick! I can tell my dog was very happy and comfortable with her. I would definitely book her again!”

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.

“Liza turned out to be exactly the right person to board and walk my 70 lb. golden retriever. She communicated with me, was dependable and my dog liked her a lot. Liza took my dog to various nearby parks and hiking trails. Highly recommended”

“Tiffany & Laura took wonderful care of Moose! They were super communicative — we appreciated the regular photos and daily text updates which included lots of details that made us feel confident that he was in great hands. Moose is excited for future visits!”

“Jakree is our new go-to dog sitter for our high energy Aussie shepherd. Jakree is super friendly and easy going, and sends plenty of updates. Ozzie loves going there!”

“Beth and Jeff were absolutely incredible! My girl Sunday is high energy and sometimes gets a little nervous in new places, but Beth and Jeff made Sunny feel right at home. She ran around in their oasis of a backyard and played with her new best friends (Beth and Jeff’s 2 kids)—she was even allowed to sleep in their room! Sunny came home reluctantly and very tired! Sunny already can’t wait for me to leave town so she can stay with her new pals again!”

“Alexis was great. Charlie really seemed to have a good, chill time with her. I’m very grateful for the picture updates she provided all throughout his stay with her.”

Josh N.

“Noni was awesome!! She made our nervous pup feel very comfortable and helped her settle in much easier than we expected. We loved seeing the multiple photo and video updates each day. Would highly recommend!!”

About: I’ve cared for pups for friends, family, and neighbors, and have also had the joy of fostering dogs. I love getting to know each dog’s personality and giving them plenty of love, attention, and cuddles. I will send all of my clients high-quality (and cute!) daily photo/video updates 🎞️ My schedule is pretty flexible! I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, boarding, and house sitting throughout the week, and most weekends as well. I’m in class Wednesday evenings from 6–9pm and one weekend a month, but otherwise I have plenty of availability to spend time with your pup. I live in a dog-friendly apartment with my 6-year-old Frenchie, who gets along great with other dogs. I live in a smaller space so I will only take 1 booking at a time for boarding. I’m an anxious pet parent myself so I strive to give other humans peace of mind via detailed updates.

“Ningna was great! Shared a lot of photos and updates on our dog. Very friendly and easy to communicate with. Would ask her to watch our dog again.”

Matt M.

“Angela did a wonderful job caring for my senior pup! She is kind and attentive and made sure that Elsie had a great stay. I would book with her again when the opportunity presents!”

“Sarah was an absolute rockstar. Our dog is a large doberman-staffy mix who came to us with isolation distress and dog-selective reactivity, so it has been quite difficult to find competent care for him when we go out of town. Sarah was so kind to our boy, took him on daily adventures, and gave him the best care we could hope for. This weekend was the most confident we have felt about leaving our dog in someone else's care in the two years that we have had him, and that peace of mind allowed us to genuinely enjoy our trip. Our dog was so relaxed and comfortable at pickup that he had to be convinced to leave. Sarah is a sitter who both truly enjoys animals and intricately understands how to meet their needs. I would highly recommend Sarah's services and would certainly hire her again without hesitation.”

“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.

“Inkoo was incredible with our dog Koda. He had the time of his life with her and her dog Freya, who he instantly bonded with. It was our first time being away from our new pup and Inkoo was diligent and very communicative, providing updates on any changes or questions, and sharing sweet photos throughout the week. It was a relief to know he was in such good caring hands. I can’t recommend her highly enough!”

Jennifer S.

“Kassie did an amazing job watching Bowser overnight at her place! From start to finish, she made boarding him so seamless and stress-free. She was wonderfully communicative and sent regular photo updates, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. She took exceptional care of him—keeping him on his regular feeding schedule, taking him on great walks, and making sure he had plenty of playtime, attention, treats, and toys in her home. Bowser was relaxed, super happy, and clearly felt right at home with her. I couldn’t have asked for a better boarding experience. I would definitely have Kassie watch him again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy sitter!”
