Dog Boarding in Kensington

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.

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!

Danielle and Joel took excellent care of our dog Cooper while we were away for the weekend. They took him on long walks and played games with him, which he loved! We received multiple photos and videos throughout the weekend. We could relax and enjoy our trip knowing that Cooper was well cared for. We would 100% board Cooper with Danielle again.

Ashish did great with our dog Five. It was clear right away that he understands dogs when Five first interacted with another nervous boarder dog, knowing how and when to introduce them. Ashish was also kind and flexible when I needed to extend Five’s stay at the last minute.

Lulu had the time of her life staying with Robert and Brian. They were very communicative, sending pictures of Lulu enjoying her stay and getting lots of love. They were clearly very attentive to her needs and really enjoyed having her. Lulu will be thrilled when she gets to visit them again!

What an amazing experience for our little Mia :). She had a wonderful stay with Wenxin! We got updates throughout her stay which eased our minds during the trip knowing Mia was in such good hands. From the videos and photos, it was evident Mia was happy as a clam, whether she was engaging in activity or cuddle time. We will not hesitate to book with her in the future!

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.

Wow! What a great stay my dog had with Lisa and Andy. Their communication and photos, which were amazing, was fabulous. I will definitely use Lisa and Andy whenever I plan on traveling. Their yard and daily off leash walks kept my dog happy and content.

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!

Mariola's the best. Can't recommend her highly enough. Took wonderful care of our old girl while we were gone. Sent daily updates with photos.

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.

Karen and Hisako were the absolute best dog sitters for Augustus, my basset hound! It was so obvious from their updates that they were loving hosting him and enjoying daily adventures together. I think all pet owners love to feel that their furry friends are in a loving home while theyre travelling, and with Karen and Hisako, you definitely get that assurance. Augustus already misses his "Japanese aunties!"

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

Thanks as always! 🐶

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 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!!
