1. 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.”
2. Sara B.
“Sara is amazing! She is very kind, loving, thoughtful, and attentive. Ruffles is not an easy dog! He’s highly anxious and kind of a bully, so I appreciate that she is firm, consistent, and most of all - loving! - with him. Thank you for taking care of my baby while I was away! I have peace of mind knowing he’s in Sara’s care.”
3. 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!”
4. Selena S.
“Selena is great and Tux was so happy to be with her. Selena was super helpful and accommodating with Tux. She bought and prepared his food. Picked him up and dropped him off to and from my home. She’s very organized. He went on outings and loved being at her place. She sent many great updates with pictures, videos and text messages. Thank you for the love you gave to my 17 year old pup Tux. I highly recommend Selena as she provides great service and Tux and I will definitely be back again.”
5. Juliana A.
“Juliana was absolutely wonderful! She gave Buddy so much love and I could tell when I picked him up that he had established a bond with her. :) I recently lost our my furry bestie of 16 years and Buddy was with him over 11 years so I was really nervous about leaving him with someone new since we’re both a little fragile but Juliana was incredibly gracious to us both and her care allowed me to be away for a week long work trip stress free. I got pics and a video and each one Buddy was living his best life. :) Great communication from her throughout the whole process. I highly recommend Juliana’s services!”
6. Violet B.
“We had an excellent experience with Violet and her fiancée Henry. She’s super friendly, communication throughout was super quick and easy, and their dog Warren is delightful and seemingly was a great playmate for our dog while she was with Violet. She also sent lots of photos and updates which was nice. They have a great backyard which we don’t have at home so I’m sure our dog loved it! Highly recommended!”
7. Chanakarn V.
“Jake and chanakarn were exceptional, making our puppy’s first time away from us as comfortable as possible. I was quite anxious about leaving her, knowing she has separation anxiety and might not eat. Thankfully, Jake was incredibly supportive, even hand-feeding her when she was hesitant. He kept us updated with frequent FaceTime calls, videos, and pictures, which greatly eased my worries. It’s clear she felt at home with them. As a nervous dog mom, it usually takes me a while to trust someone, but Jake’s attentive care left me relieved and confident. Your puppies will be in fantastic hands with Jake!”
8. Charlene M.
“Absolutely amazing! This was my pups first time boarding and Charlene made sure he was comfortable. She also shared videos and pictures that helped my own nerves. I’ll be bringing Benji back!”
9. Alexandra O.
“Alexandra was incredibly sweet and communicative. She sent photos or videos everyday and was very patient with Valerie. I could tell Val had a great time while there.”
10. Mary C.
“Mary was incredibly communicative, attentive, and loving with our senior pup. Our dog came back in such a happy mood - I can really tell he had a wonderful time with her. Would recommend Mary to anyone and would definitely book with her again!”
11. Lilly R.
“Lilly is amazing! She is very reliable, responsive, friendly and great to work with. She really spoiled our pup in the best way with lots of walks, pets, attention, and treats. She was able to give him a banana on a lick mat which is his favorite and sent lots of pics and videos every single day. Kevin looked like he had a so much fun playing and hanging out with Lilly and her husband. She and her husband provided exceptional care. Looking forward to using her services in the future. Thank you so much Lilly!”
12. Donald R.
“Donald took great care of our lab, Joey. We received plenty of photos and videos which put us at ease while we traveled. He was kind, communicative and a really nice guy. We will book with Donald again soon. He is a rock star!”
13. Michelle K.
“Our dog Ella seemed to have a great time with Michelle and Hazel! We really appreciated the daily updates and peace of mind as we were out of town for a week.”
14. Katie A.
“Katie has watched my beloved fürchilde, Sartre, many times over the years and I can confidently recommend her without qualification. Katie is someone who knows and understands dogs, but more importantly, she loves them. My little buddy has been my guardian angel for over 12 years and I don't leave him with just anybody. With Katie, I know he'll be safe and looked after. That level of trust doesn't come easily for me and it says a lot that I've been able to place it in her.”
15. Chad A.
“We left the country and left our German Shepard our love , our precious Lexi with Chad . And while we traveled we felt she was safe,cozy,happy and comfortable even though she missed us . Thank you Chad .”
16. Jennifer & Jordan L.
“Jennifer and Jordon were amazing! They took my fur babe right in as their own. They were super accommodating with drop off and pick up times as well as communicative for the duration of his stay. They made sure he felt right at home and kept me updated on the activities of the day or any changes they may have had to implement due to weather (i.e. couldnt go to the dog park today because of the rain but we gave him a frozen treat to help expend some energy; we got to the dog park and he wanted to play in all the puddles, we got him all bathed and cleaned up though! Insert adorable picture of my dog wrapped in a towel, haha). I got plenty of picture updates and knew he was in great company. I would highly recommend them for your next boarding needs! I will definitely be using them for any future trips. Thank you for taking such great care of Maverick!♡”
17. 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!”
18. 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.”
19. noni p.
“Right from the start, Noni was super communicative, proactive and engaged, making sure our dog Pickles was comfortable and working to figure out her schedule. Honestly, it took some effort and observation as this was a very different environment for Pickles but Noni was extremely attentive. Pickles was walked plenty and taken to the dog park as well. Never once were we in any way concerned for the safety or well being of our dog. Also we absolutely love getting pics and videos and Noni did not disappoint. Highly recommend!”
20. Danielle M.
“I simply can't express enough gratitude for the incredible care that Danielle provided to my dog while I was away. I knew very quickly that my furry friend was in the best hands possible. She not only took care of the basics but showered my boy with love and attention. Each update and photo that was sent warmed my heart and reassured me that he was not just fine, but having a great time. Danielle's dedication to ensuring my pet's well-being went beyond my expectations. She was very committed to ensuring that he felt comfortable and secure while I was away. In short, I can't recommend her highly enough and will undoubtedly entrust her with his care in the future. Thank you, Danielle, for being an absolute blessing!”

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.
