Dog Boarding in El Cerrito

Wenxin and her family took fantastic care of our dog Cricket. Updates and pictures and lots of details about how she adjusted were so appreciated. You could tell they were really caring and attentive. It was Cricket’s first time being cared for by people she didn’t know super well, and she’s pretty nervous by nature. But after a couple days she was happy and playing and snuggling. When we drove away to go back home, she was plastered to the window watching Wenxin go inside - Cricket had gotten attached! We will definitely book with Wenxin 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.

Ashish was WONDERFUL! He sent tons of photos and updates and made me feel so relaxed about leaving my dog with Ashish and his family. My dog obviously also was so comfortable at Ashish's home. Thank you Ashish and family for hosting Theo. I am sure we (Theo that is) will be back.

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.

Hope is very sweet. She is taking care of Marley very well. She also updates with the photos.

Christine is amazing. She gave frequent updates, and treated our dogs like her own. We have found our new go-to Rover! Highly recommend. Thanks Christine! ❤️

Meryl had an awesome time with Julie & Adam! She explored their house, and back yard, she met a couple chickens, they took her on a walk in the Marina, and she even hung out with Julie at the salon! Meryl has been suffering from separation anxiety - Julie and Adam made sure she felt safe and secure during her stay!

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!

1st time using this app….soo glad I found Allora and her wonderful family to care for Bleu for 3 nights. Not only were they very welcoming, I knew right away my Bleu would be well cared for. I received updated texts and pictures her whole stay. I’m sure if Bleu could, she would say she had an awesome time….Thank You soo much and I would definitely recommend!!??

Niyuan is an amazing carer. She has a real love for animals and they seem to really sense that in her. I cannot recommend her highly enough!

Danielle and Joel are incredible dog sitters. They really love dogs and look after them like their own. They send loads of updates and are always taking them for plays and long walks. My elderly rescue dog is usually pretty shy but he just warms right up with them and within a day or 2, he's just snuggling up, as affectionate as he would be with us! I would highly recommend them to anyone!

Porsche was an excellent dog sitter for our 7 month old puppy. She sent us regular updates of him going on walks, playing with other dogs in the park. Our pup came back to us healthy, happy, and very tired from all of his play time. I definitely recommend hiring Porsche to watch or walk your pup!

This was our second time boarding our dogs with Luciana and Rob and it was evident how much our dogs love staying with them. When we dropped them off, they beelined it from our car straight to the front door. Once inside, I could tell Izzy and Benson associated Luciana and Rob’s home with comfort and that was so reassuring for us before a trip. Luciana and Rob were also so considerate and tailored their walks to provide both dogs with what they needed. We love that Izzy and Benson have a home away from home and we’re so grateful for the care Luciana and Rob provide.

Yagmur and Bautista took such great care of Claire. She was very happy and comfortable staying with them!

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!!
