Dog Boarding in El Cerrito

Wenxin (Lucia) and her partner were absolutely amazing with our Yorkie, Nala. She stayed with them for 8 nights. Nala sometimes gets anxiety in a new location, and we were concerned about leaving her but, but Lucia was phenomenal every step of the way. She arranged for all of us to meet (including her dogs) and welcomed us into her home so Nala could get familiar before her actual stay. Their home is warm and inviting, and they go above and beyond in ensuring all the dogs they care for are safe and happy. The daily updates (including photos and videos) were so helpful in assuaging our concerns about Nala feeling comfortable. We could not recommend them enough!

I’ve sent my Max to two different kennels and he always comes back so sad, to the point that he doesn’t respond to us petting him. I wanted to try something more personable so I tried Rover. Maria was great and sent me photos and updates of Max during his stay. She noticed he wasn’t eating and made him special food for him with my permission of course. He came back so happy this time! He literally was smiling and happy to see us. One of her neighbors stopped my husband on the way out to tell him how much all the other neighbors liked Max. I’m sure they met him several times during his walks with Maria. I would highly recommend her!

Julie and Adam were absolutely amazing with my dog, Kato! They kept me updated and sent pictures that showed what a great time he was having with them! He came home and went right to sleep which confirms how active they kept him and how much fun he had. I highly recommend Julie and Adam, and hope they will be available to care for him again in the future!

Ashish took care of Tobi for a whole week while my family was out of town. He even gave Tobi a bath, followed our instructions, and sent daily pictures. I highly recommend Ashish.

Kai loves going to Radha’s house! I have booked 4 times now because I know Kai will be so well cared for! I get pics and videos and she is so happy when I pick her up.

Ross was wonderful! Luna and Riley had a great time during their stay. He was friendly, responsive, and followed all care instructions perfectly, including giving medication. The girls were happy and well cared for, a truly perfect stay! I’ll definitely book with him again.

Mariola was wonderful! It was my first time having my dogs stay with someone since the pandemic started, and I was anxious with how they would react, but they were very calm and had a great time with her. I will definitely book Mariola again!

Luna is a wonderful dog sitter! Cosmo, my dog was thrilled and happy to have stayed with her and her lovely dog, Jim! Jim was also the perfect fur host, showing Cosmo where they should play and that it was okay to run around and play together. Luna has a large and lovely yard and Cosmo enjoyed the serenity of the yard and home. Cosmo can be shy and aloof, and he does not react well to negative energy. But, he warmed up to Luna because of her thoughtful and positive approach to care giving. I trusted her to take good care of him. And, she did! Cosmo can be a velcro dog as he is with us practically 24/7, so it eased our anxiety to know that she was there for him. Thank you Luna for taking good care of Cosmo. Much aloha, Diane and Philip G.

Instant updates when requested. Love the immediate responses. Easy to communicate with Elisha. Thank you so much for caring for my little one

Allora and Oliver provided our dog (and us) with everything we could have hoped for and more. They took wonderful care of our lab/pit mix Milo! We received lots of messages, photos, and videos throughout the time he was boarded. Milo had an absolute blast, we could see how happy and settled he was - playing freely, getting good cuddles, and lounging around relaxed ☺️ we were very happy to see that Milo and their dog Boba got to be friends as well. We are so glad Milo has found a home away from home and we will absolutely be returning on a regular basis. Thank you, Allora and Oliver 🙏

Danielle was an amazing sitter! She made my recent rescue pup, Dahlia feel like a part of her pack immediately and sent lots of cute photos and videos every day. Highly recommend and will book with her again!

I had a weekend trip planned and sadly family and friends couldn't sit Aggie, though was recommended by a friend to try Rover. So with about a week before the trip, I wanted to find a neighbor that was communicative, responsive, had and has current experience with dogs, and is familiar with dog sitting. On a brief search, I found Marlene and Marlene's mom with lots of positive reviews and close by to me! I reached out, checked in a bit, and made arrangements for a pre-dog sit meeting for everyone to meet one another which gave me peace of mind. Marlene was responsive, communicative, and thoughtful. I appreciated the photos Marlene sent me during the weekend. Aggie's an older foster dog, and Marlene was quick to share some questions and concerns which we were able to figure out together on a brief phone call which I really appreciated. I'm new to Rover, and our conversation helped me to be communicative about Aggie's conditions as an elder dog, reassure Marlene, and to update Aggie's profile. I was happy to see Aggie when I picked her up and Marlene and Marlene's mom were very kind, thoughtful, and open about sharing the latest of Aggie's conditions. If you're in the east bay/Berkeley/Oakland/Emeryville area, I recommend Marlene and Marlene's mom!!

Luciana and Rob are just wonderful! They are such warmhearted people who take amazing care of our dogs. They really go above and beyond to make sure both our dogs feel safe, secure, and well cared for and we can tell that our dogs feel loved whenever they’re with Luciana and Rob. We can’t thank them enough for giving us a greater peace of mind while we’re away because our dogs are in the best hands. We always recommend them to anyone who’s in need of a sitter.

I am so grateful to have found Kiarash. He was kind, responsive and able to accommodate my dog’s needs. As soon as we arrived he was great with Chloe, took her on a walk, and discussed her needs and dietary concerns. From the time of the drop off to pick up he sent several photos of Chloe, and when I picked her up shared details about her stay. I am very comfortable having her with him anytime.

Ana is a wonderful petcare provider. She is patient, caring, and very dependable. She connects easily with pets and always makes sure they are safe and well cared for. I trusted her completely and truly appreciated her dedication. I highly recommend Ana to any family looking for quality petcare.
