Dog Boarding in El Cerrito

Lucia and Cham made Rev feel right at home! Their home is calm and welcoming and just the place I'd want to leave my dog while I'm away. Rev will definitely be back. :)

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 was an amazing dog host! Great communication, caring for my senior dog, and we did an intro with her dog Shrimp ahead of time to make sure they would hit it off together. She sent pictures and updates, and was very accommodating for our crazy schedule. 10/10, would absolutely hire again.

Julie and Adam are the first sitters I’ve ever worked with but I felt so at ease leaving my dog with them! He had a lot of fun and was well-cared for, with nice updates that showed how well he was doing. My dog is definitely a handful and can be difficult to work with at times, so I appreciated their understanding and extensive experience in dealing with all kinds of dogs. I’ll definitely be booking with them again!

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!

Will definitely be a repeat client! We left our 1-year-old dog Stevie with Danielle for 11 nights. It was our first time using Rover. Couldn't be happier with how she was cared for. Having multiple dogs around really helped Stevie's separation anxiety and Danielle helped with OUR separation anxiety by sending loads of photos and videos. Danielle is flexible, always responsive, and thinks ahead of time about possible conflicts with other dogs. Really appreciate having her as a resource. Will definitely book Stevie here again!

Porsche was a DREAM! This was our first time using Rover and our first time being away from our quarantine pup for more than one day so of course we weren't sure what to expect. We're so glad we went with Porsche! She was welcoming and down to earth. Keeps it real and sent us daily photos! Hugo stayed with her for 5 days and he looked like he was having the time of his life. We hope to book with her again in the future!!

Luciana was exceptionally accommodating when I had changes to my travel itinerary. She was very easy to work with and provided great care for my girls.

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!!
