1. Chanakarn & Jakree V.
“Chanakarn and Jake did a great job taking care of our boys while we were away! Pickup and drop off were easy, and they gave daily check ins with 4-5 pictures of our dogs playing. It made us feel like they were happy and well watched over. I’m happy they had a good sized yard with shade and other dogs to play with. We will book them again.”
2. Cydney D.
“Cydney took such special care of our Diego. He really enjoyed the walks by the Lake and the views from her apartment. We'll definitely be looking to book with her again when needed.”
3. Michelle K.
“Michelle was absolutely fantastic! We left for about a week and Michelle was great about checking in with daily pictures. Our frenchie adores her and had a blast playing with her sweet dog Hazel. We will definitely be using her in the future!”
4. Jennifer & Jordan L.
“Jennifer took great care of my baby. She gave her lots of exercise and provided great updates and pictures. She was super flexible about pick up and drop off. Thanks Jennifer and Jordan!”
5. Jennifer L.
“Jennifer was great! She took my cat in last minute and was very accommodating! She has a whole kitty playground at her house that my cat loved every second of. She also has a litter robot box so I didn’t have to bring a separate box/litter which made the exchange easier. She sent soooo many photos and videos that I loved and communicated very well. Jennifer is super sweet & I trusted her well with my cat… Definitely will book again :)”
6. Pablo S.
“Pablo was wonderful with my dog Tubby! He sent an update with pictures every day. Tubby is usually afraid of strangers but warmed up to him instantly. I would definitely recommend Pablo!”
7. Alexandra O.
“Alexandra was great with our kitty! She sent me pictures and videos the entire time we were away and I could tell the cat was happy and well cared for. It was a great relief during our long time away to know Tiger was in good hands. Communication was easy and prompt as well.”
8. jose a.
“Jose is incredibly good with dogs of all kinds, especially high energy dogs that need a lot of mental and physical stimulation. My blue heeler needs lots of exercise and this is the perfect spot because the dogs have access to plenty of outdoor space, toys, games, as well as hikes, and going to the dog park. I couldnt ask for a better dog daycare! I am grateful that he consistently trains dogs using positive reinforcement and is in tune with what each dog needs.”
9. Melina B.
“Melina is super sweet, caring and full of positive energy. She is great with communication, very punctual and fast to respond. Our puppy seemed super happy from the minute he met Melina until the end of his stay. We are sure he had a pleasant time and enjoyed his stay. We cannot recommend her enough, we already rebooked her twice and will always do if she is available!”
10. Tracey N.
“We've used Tracy twice, and both times were great. Our dogs seemed to warm up quickly, and she has been flexible and responsive.”
11. Aman H.
“Aman has watched my dog twice & I’ve had a great experience. He sends updates & photos & my dog always looks so happy in them. Will be reaching out to him again!”
12. Jessica P.
“Jessica was amazing and accommodated a last minute request with graciousness and responsiveness. She and her husband took great care of my pup and I’m so grateful I found her service. I was worried that I wouldn’t find anyone good in this semi-emergency situation. In reality, I found one of the best.”
13. Charlene M.
“My dog loves Charlene! Charlene is not only caring, experienced and knowledgeable, but watched Hoku closely altering me to his picky eater tendencies and sleepy head ways. She sends lots of photos and videos to let you know how your dog is doing. The setting is clean, and while there were several dogs, there appears to be lots of space. The house even has air conditioning (a plus during the hot weather - better conditions for the dog than me.) Although happy to see me on my return after four days, I could tell he was comfortable and happy. Thank you Charlene! Hoku will visit again.”
14. Sara B.
“I was referred to Sara by a mutual friend and I couldn’t be happier with how my little Liko was cared for! Sara was just awesome and I know Liko was happy and content the entire time. She is a top-notch caregiver for your pet!! 💕”
15. Jeff & Beth K.
“Jeff and Beth took AMAZING care of our pup, Penny, during a recent 10-day trip. We got lots of pictures and updates that made it clear Penny was having the time of her life going on walks and hikes, having playtime, and getting lots of cuddles from the whole family. We'll absolutely be booking with Jeff and Beth again!”
16. Mary G.
“Our chocolate lab mix loves staying with Mary and her pup. They go on great adventures, and our pup is clearly well exercised and well loved while in Mary’s care. Grateful to have a reliable and caring person watching our dog.”
17. Winne L.
“Winnie treated Hercules as if he was her own. She showed him love, cuddled with him, walked him regularly and even gave him a bath so he came home smelling good! She kept me updated throughout his stay with messages and a steady flow of pictures. I highly recommend Winnie to anyone looking for a caring and loving sitter.”
18. Andrea J.
“Andrea was very attentive and caring with our Kiki dog. She is an animal lover. We would definitely recommend her for dog sitting and hope to use her services again!”
19. Keara S.
“I needed a last minute sitter for my 5 year old dachshund for a quick trip out of town, and Keana did amazing! She was very understanding of my dog’s shyness/anxiousness, and based on the photos she sent it looked like they had a great time. She was very communicative, and her neighborhood was great for quiet walks and visits to the park.”
20. Vanessa S.
“My dog loved Vanessa! She is a very sweet and caring person and I can tell she took great care of Waldo. She's very flexible with timing and that was much appreciated. I'm definitely going to bring Waldo back in the future!”

What are some dog-friendly parks in Oakland?
With the temperate weather in Oakland, it's always a good time to get outside with your dog, whether you're a dog sitter or owner. Redwood Regional Park is located in the hills east of downtown Oakland, and has tons of trails and open space for dogs to run. They are allowed to be in the entire park on-leash, and are even allowed off-leash in some of the undeveloped areas. Sibley Volcanic Regional Preserve is another wooded park with lots of trails to explore on leash. Off-leash activity is also allowed in the less-developed areas of the park. Lake Merritt is closer to downtown Oakland and is a great place for dog sitters to take a stroll with small, medium, or large dogs on leash.
