1. Chanakarn & Jakree V.
“Chanakarn was so kind and kept us updated our entire trip which kept my nerves at ease knowing our little one was having a great time! Will definitely be rebooking with her again in the future ?”
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. Jennifer & Jordan L.
“Jennifer and Jordan took great care of my 5-year-old dachshund, Winston, for the week that I was on vacation! Pick up and drop off was a breeze, and they were incredibly communicative. They sent me lots of photos and kept me updated on how Winston was doing. I think the little guy had a great time. He's usually not super social, but it looked like he befriended Jennifer's and Jordan's dogs over his stay and was really playful and comfy. I would definitely trust them to look after Winston again!”
4. 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 :)”
5. 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.”
6. Pablo S.
“Pablo and Claire (sp) took very good care of Roxy for a week. Pablo sent great photo updates and asked questions to make sure that he’s taking the appropriate actions to keep Roxy happy and healthy. We joke that Roxy got a great vacation during her stay at Pablo’s, but that’s probably the truth. You can ‘t go wrong when you get Pablo & Claire to care for your dog (just don’t do it when we need to…).”
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. Aman H.
“I cannot be more grateful for Aman! He was able to watch my pup on extremely short notice after a previously booked sitter never responded to us the day-of. He was extremely communicative and regularly kept us updated on how Aku was doing throughout the 2-week stay. Aman was such a sweetheart, and I highly, HIGHLY recommend him to anyone looking to watch their fur babies!”
9. 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.”
10. Jessica P.
“Jessica always does an awesome job with my dog. This was the longest we have been apart in a long time but I knew she was in excellent hands and seemed to be having a good time with old and new friends.”
11. 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!”
12. Sara B.
“This was our second time having Sara board our pup, and she was awesome just like she was last time! It was over the New Year and we had forgotten to drop off our dogs thunder coat, but she did an amazing job helping him get through the stressful night of fireworks. She’s very communicative, responsive, and responsible, and I highly recommend her to anyone!”
13. 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.”
14. Keara S.
“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.”
15. Danielle M.
“Danielle was very communicative and was very attentive to Zag. She sent lots of pics and vids, said she gave him a bath when he got dirty, and took him out for sunshine and playtime. He got along very well with her super sweet pup as well. Danielle also just seemed very sweet and good with dogs!”
16. 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!”
17. Charlene M.
“Darci had a wonderful time and was well taken care of. Charlene was a pleasure to work with and her communication was always so timely. I was glad to know my dog was in good hands.”
18. 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!”
19. Chad A.
“Chad was great with our pups. It's such a relief to find a good sitter and Chad is one of those people! He has a great place with a big backyard and nice house for the dogs to romp around in. He was very communicative both during our meet and greet as well as during their first stay with him. One of our dogs is a bit skittish with people but warmed right up to Chad, which is a testament to him and his ability to make her feel at ease. We already have another date on the calendar with him. Highly recommended.”
20. Jeff & Beth K.
“Jeff and Beth were wonderful pug sitters. We got lots of updates and photos on his stay for 3 nights. It looked like he got a lot of attention. Would book again!”

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.
