Dog Boarding in El Cerrito

Juli is trustworthy and competent, I will use her again and highly recommend! She eased my mind by being VERY accommodating and addressing all of my safety concerns. My dog stayed with Juli and Gigi for 6 days, and came home happy and healthy!

Absolutely loved Kai’s stay with Yuko! I had 4 trips over 3 months and was feeling guilty and worried about leaving Kai again for 6 days. We did a meet and greet and right away I felt comfortable that Kai would be well cared for. Yuko was flexible, so caring, and communicative - I received videos and updates about Kai’s state and whether she was eating well. I was so comforted knowing Kai was with loving dog sitters and had doggie friends to play with. Highly recommend!

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.

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.

Kianna and her family took great care of Zoey in their home. Kianna sent updates and photos daily, so I knew that Zoey was having a good time whether she was playing at the park or snoozing in the sun. I would definitely board Zoey with Kianna again.

Kassandra was super communicative and kind. They clearly loved my pup and took amazing care of him!

Danielle took wonderful care of my dog! She handled all her medications well and was super mindful of a small wound my dog had on her belly, making sure to clean it daily. Looking forward to my dog’s next stay. Thank you!

Irene is nothing short of amazing. She is diligent, communicative, and tender. These traits make her an excellent animal caretaker. Here was my experience: Irene took care of my 1.5 year old mixed-breed dog Olive (aka Ollie) for 3 entire weeks while I was out of the country for a business trip. The trip was the longest amount of time I’d ever spent away from Olive…and I was pretty anxious about it. For context, Ollie is a relatively high energy adolescent dog who struggles, at times, with resource guarding around other dogs. Irene was extremely patient with my various requests (e.g., when to give Ollie her yogurt snack, when and how much pumpkin puree to feed her etc.) and sensitive to Ollie’s individual needs. She proactively sent regular updates to me in the form of photos, videos and text messages. She also went above and beyond to ensure that Olive got a TON of playtime (keeping Ollie entertained and stimulated at the beach, El Cerrito Hills trails and walks around the block). Every single day I was reassured that my dog was well taken care of and most importantly safe. For me, that peace of mind was priceless. I can guarantee you that the care, thoughtfulness, and one-on-one attention Irene delivered far exceeds anything you could find at a boarding facility. Another really awesome plus: Irene has a fenced backyard and lives in a very quiet neighborhood. Olive is very easily overstimulated and knowing this gave me an even deeper sense of comfort about Olive’s stay. I am so incredibly thankful to Irene.

Charlene was very responsive with all of our interactions. She was very easy to work with regarding puck up and drop off and most importantly took great care of our dog Bear. I would highly recommend reaching out Charlene for your dog care.

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

I have been blessed!! Justin and Patrick are angles and I am the lucky one!!! Molly just finished her stay and it was wonderful. She is so happy and didn't even give me attitude upon picking her up. I knew she was well cared for. Justin sent me pix and updates thru out the day and it made me very relaxed to see she was having a good time. I will be using Patrick and Justin on a regular basis and it makes my travels that much more relaxed knowing she is be cared for in such a loving way.

Louis was great with my shy 8-year-old pittie. It normally takes at least a full day for Thor to warm up to new people, but after just a 15-minute introduction at Louis’s home, he acted like he’d lived there his entire life. Louis has a real gift for making anxious dogs feel comfortable and safe.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Lucas took such good care of our little Pomeranian. Right before we left, he ended up needing medication for a trauma to his eye. Lucas administered the medicine 3 times a day without any hesitation or complaints. Louie came home happy and it was the first time I’ve ever dropped him off somewhere where he didn’t fight me leaving. We will be sending him again!

Gus had a wonderful time with Joann again! He was so excited to see her this morning that he was shaking with happiness as we drove down her street and couldn’t wait to run up to her door. We know he will be well taken care of in great hands when we drop him off and that gives us such peace of mind. He most definitely looks forward to his next staycation! 🐾

Jonah was great with Eevee, she had a wonderful stay. Communication was prompt and easy-going. I would book again and recommend Jonah to my friends and family.

My dog had a great stay with Susan and her family! Susan was easy to communicate with and sent me daily updates and fun pictures that were a very nice touch. Susan took Winston on long hikes each day, which I'm sure he loved. He was happy and well cared for when I picked him up. :)
