1. Chanakarn & Jakree V.
“Chanakarn and Jake were wonderful with our Aussie/Golden Jasper. You can see from the reviews and repeat customers that they are highly qualified sitters. We received daily photos during our 4-day trip out of the country to keep tabs on Jasper. We also felt good about the 24/7 attention and social interaction with other dogs who we're staying at the same time. This is by far the best boarding option for a dog when you can't take them with you. Highly recommended over any traditional boarding where your dog spends a lot of time alone, and you pay for everything including 1-on-1 affection. While we'd prefer to take Jasper with us everywhere, it's good to know we have a loving place he can stay locally.”
2. 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!”
3. Michelle K.
“Katsu always loves staying with Michelle & Hazel. The pups seem to have a great time & we feel relieved knowing he’s having fun while we’re away. :)”
4. Cydney D.
“Our original plans fell through and Cydney was incredibly reliable. Super responsive and conveniently close to where I live. Rudy really enjoyed staying with Cydney. I would highly recommend and will definitely be booking again in the future!”
5. 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!”
6. 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 :)”
7. 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.”
8. 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.”
9. Charlene M.
“Charlene was awesome! She took lots of photos of my dog and gave me daily updates. I feel like she and her roommates spoiled Mikey and will definitely reach out to her next time I need a sitter.”
10. Salem A.
“Salem was kind and attentive with my dog. I'm going to book her again.”
11. 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.”
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. 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.”
14. Tyler G.
“Tyler took really good care of my Scotty! I knew he was in the right hands and that gave me a lot of peace while traveling. They went above and beyond to make sure my ol' pup was comfortable and active. also liked that there was another doggy on site. Sent really cute pics and videos to boot. Highly recommended.”
15. Mary C.
“Mary was exceptional with our pup Enzo! She was very communicative with us through out the day with updates and photos which comforted me knowing he was doing great. Mary did not only watch and feed Enzo, but took him to the dog park (his favorite place), and along to run errands with her. I would 100% recommend Mary to take care of your fur baby!”
16. Alexandra O.
“Alexandra was great at communicating and following instructions we left for our pup. We got daily updates and she answered any and all questions quickly and with care. Would definitely re-book!”
17. Stephanie M.
“Amazing caretakers! Sent a ton of updates (including pictures) and treated my dog great. Usually he is anxiously exhausted when I pick him up after a trip but today that wasn’t the case - goes to show how comfortable he was with Stephanie and her family. Looking forwarding to booking with them again!”
18. Violet B.
“Violet was a tremendous babysitter for my boy Bo! It was very clear from the beginning he was extremely comfortable in his environment and it would be a great stay. I got very frequent and fun pics/videos during his stay, which put me greatly at ease. Would definitely bring Bo back to Violet's home in the future.”
19. Melina B.
“Melinda was absolutely amazing. When I dropped off my fur baby to her I knew he would be in good hands. She made sure to send me pictures to ease my anxiety I would definitely recommend her”
20. 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!”

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.
