Dog Boarding Near Lafayette, CA: Top Options and Community

Trinity is a mature 5 yr old yellow lab. Whitney is a fun loving 1 yr old. Love walks, naps, and being fed. Loves being around other dogs pretty playful.

We’ve lived in Lafayette since 2000. Wanting to enjoy some travel adventures now that we’re retired and look forward to meeting some like minded folks!

We’re a human family of four and have an 8.5 year old golden retriever. We love exploring our town and taking walks. Berkeley (our dog) is a goofy and loving dog and is kind with all humans and dogs.

My wife, Jenny, and I are empty nesters and are lucky to have a large backyard that our girls, Sammy and Elli can enjoy. We love friendly dogs that get along well with other dogs and enjoy walks both on or off leach. We are looking for a family or families that would be interested in doing boarding swaps when needed for our two golden retrievers.

We are a family of five in Lafayette: myself, my husband, two sons, and our goldendoodle pup. We work from home the majority of the week. Our family requires hypoallergenic pets due to allergies. Our dog is about 55 pounds, which is the maximum size we would be comfortable with.

Pretty quiet household with one adult female, one teenager (female), one male lab (4 years old) - Ollie - super socialized, hikes with Diablo Dogs every day and gets along with everyone but doesn’t like aggressors and has less tolerance for pests now that he’s an adult. That said he still loves to play! We have one cat who isn’t a big fan of dogs so would want guests that don’t have high prey drive and will ignore her. I work in SF during the week, so short weekend stays will be best when I’m home. Ollie is a great listener and Velcro dog that will follow you around. Yes he gets up on one couch at our house if the blanket is on it and sleeps in my bed if it’s not too hot. But he will likely go where he’s told and find a comfy spot that smells right for him at a new house. He’s a sweet, good boy!

Coco is a sweet pup, a bit timid with strangers initially, but would warm up eventually. He loves being with his human. He is pretty chill during the day, sleep most of the time. Doesn't require lots of walks. Love to run off-leash in the open space. He knows basic command such as sit, down, stay and paw. He pulls on leash (still working on fixing that) He sleeps in the crate at night and is house trained.

My husband recently retired, I work from home and Luna keeps us both active. Luna is a playful loving dog. Luna is brilliant! She is crate-trained and enjoys bathing in the sun.

Bear is the only 4 legged member of the family, his human brothers are teenagers. We are hosting virgins, eager for Bear to have a playdates.

A family who loves their fur baby. We have always had a Labrador in our family. We have raised 3 boys. 1 still remains in the house in high school. We have a fenced in backyard. Our current fur baby is 7 months old and food motivated. Working on commands. Needs a place to do zoomies or run around. Loves water and playing chase.

Hi! We have a 4 yr old border collie/German shepherd mix! He is a sweet cuddle bug and loves being outdoors. Don’t think he would be great with cats. We also have a rambunctious toddler and a lovely yard.

We live in Lafayette near Reservoir. We do not have a yard but love lots of nearby leash walks/outdoor secure deck for sun bathing. Mom is home based and we have a young teen pup lover. Dad has hybrid office work schedule. Holly is a 25lb 6 yo labradoodle. Super sweet and lower energy but loves her walks and fluffy toys. Sleeps a lot during the day and loves people cuddles and belly rubs. She is crate trained and goes there if we run out and often overnight (when not sleeping with sister). We do not typically crate during day more than 4 hours (after potty break) and only if can’t take with us. We would be seeking similar swap/style of pup parent (crate trained preferred).

This is Juno (6) and Jett (1). Juno is a herding dog so she is known as "the regulator". She gets nervous when other dogs play, so we usually put her inside if they're playing outside. Jett is a spunky shepherd, cattle dog & border collie mix. She looks like a GSD, but is small like a cattle dog. She talks a lot and is ball obsessed. Both walk well on leashes, but will fetch until their paws bleed (we don't recommend playing that long!). Jett loves everyone and every dog but is so talkey when she meets other dogs they sometimes don't know how to take her. Jett has many best friend dogs. But sadly she is too much for older dogs, and wants to play with everyone. Both dogs are great with kids but Jett may mow over small children if they get in the way of her ball. She plays ball with our 4 year old twins and has since she was 2 months old (she's a foster fail). Both dogs are spoiled rescues.

Lisa is our Australian cattle dog family member. She is about 3 years old, spayed, fully vaccinated, dog-savy, dog/kid-friendly and vetted with cats. She is a happy easy going doggo we adopted through the rescue. We occasionally need to find a temporary arrangement for her when we travel internationally. We welcome other dogs, spayed/neutered/vaccinated at our home in Lafayette (near Pleasant Hill/Walnut Creek).

Hi! We have a sweet, 9-year-old brown lab rescue named Jada. We work from home mostly and have two young kids so she's great with children. Jada's well mannered in the house (doesn't jump up on furniture w/o permission), won't run away and loves to be around people. If you dare to play fetch with her, she'll do it for hours and always drops the ball at your feet. This is our go-to in lieu of a walk which makes her a happy, tired camper. We do have a fenced yard and a school with a large field at the end of our street which we take advantage of. Our 9 year old son really wants another dog and thought we'd host a few first to see if we can handle it.

Hi. We have two dogs and two cats. They all live peacfully (for the most part!) with one another. Our border collie is 9 and our mini poodle is 13. Both are very mellow and low maintenance. They are eachother's best friends. We have a dog door we leave open 24/7 that leads out to a double fenced 6+ foot fence with a gigantic back yard.

Jelly and pudding are so cute dogs! They love each other so much ! Super playful.Jelly loves cuddle and Pudding loves sleep. They loves dog’s snacks. Pudding is still puppy sometimes have pee accident but mostly is okay :) They sleeping with us( spoiled dogs :) )

Hi! Tucker is an 8 year old yellow lab who still has “puppy brain.” He loves EVERYONE. We don’t travel without him very often but when we do, it’s always challenging to find a safe, friendly place for him. He’s a sweetheart but he sheds A TON.

We have a 1.5 frenchie. Interested in hosting bulldogs or medium sized dogs that like children and do not need a lot of exercise.

Hi neighbors! I am Kat and I live in Lafayette, right by the trail, with my 2 young daughters and husband. We have 2 cuddly cute and super friendly dogs! But willing to separate. Bernee is a non-shedding hypoallergenic goldendoodle named Bernee. He weighs about 30 lbs and his birthday is April Fools (born in 2021). He is a very friendly pup and loves all dogs (no matter how shy) and people equally. He is neutered, crate trained, bell trained, and knows most basic tricks (VERY treat motivated!). We walk him 1-2x/day on the local trail and would offer the same thing for your pup! Twyla was born May 11, 2022. She is a double doodle and is 35 lbs (looks smaller but weighs more than her brother!). She is crate trained, house trained, and bell trained. We would love to host your pup! Bernee hasn’t met a dog he doesn’t like. We have a decent sized fenced in backyard.

Barnaby is a friendly, bouncy little man who loves playing catch and going for walks. He also loves dog friends. And cuddles. And naps. Lots of naps.

Chibo is a sweet ACD/Rat Terrier mix. She's 20 lbs and loves to socialize. Kisses and wiggles are on the menu!

We live in Lafayette with our two kids and the most friendly and gentle bernedoodle puppy! Everyone loves him

We live in downtown Lafayette on the creek with a fenced in yard and often go on the trail for walks.

Hi! We are Lauren and Michael and are designers. Currently based in Lafayette, in the East Bay where we live with our very sociable and energetic toddler and our very chill and food-obsessed pug, Sumo. Sumo is 20 lbs, 9 years old and loves being around little kids, adults and other dogs. He’s easy to care for, house-trained and loves cuddling on the couch.

Hi, we are a family of 4 with our three year old goldendoodle Ziggy being our newest member:). Ziggy is a super sweet mellow guy, whose only naughtiness is eating small soft toys :)

Arlo is sweet and happy dog who is good with kids (we have a 4 and 7 year old). Knows not to go on furniture unless invited. Can be a little jumpy when excited but settles down to a lap dog. Loves to play fetch and will drop toys into your lap to get you to play.

We are a family of 4 w/2 teens who love dogs. Our dog "Ranger" is a 60lb rescue mutt around 1.5 yrs old who is super friendly with no signs of toy or food aggression. He loves playing w/other dogs or fetch. An ideal doggy match would be sweet and playful but not over the top w/energy- although that’s fine if it wears them out. He follows me around all day and lays around the house.

We are a family of 5, including two kids (10 and 12) and our 3 year old dog, Charlie. We are happy to host small-medium sized dogs in our pet-friendly home. We have a fenced in backyard and take Charlie on 1-2 walks a day. We are flexible with dogs on the couch, bed, crate, etc.

I am a full-time math, Spanish, and writing tutor on zoom. My boys and I like to travel from time to time. We have a golden retriever who is five years old. He’s super sweet and loves to cuddle. We are very responsible and seek out the same in other people. We would like to find other dog owners in Lafayette, Moraga, and Orinda for exchanges. We live in an apartment, so smaller dogs are preferred. My son loves corgis, so those are especially desirable. Another dog smaller than our guy would be great or any small fluff ball is awesome. 😁🐕❤️ We love animals and have a lot of experience with them. We’ve had chickens, turtles, fish, and have taken care of cats and other pets for friends.

I'm a dog dad and professional dog walker with 8 years of experience walking, sitting, and training dogs located in Lafayette.

We love hosting because our Mochi, a 1.5 year old rescue poodle mix loves playing with friends! We treat dogs like family!

Pluto the Dwarf Planet is a small Australian Labradoodle who loves people more than food. She's very playful and loves playing with toys and other dogs. The love of her life is a stuffed hotdog...she is 23 lbs, crate trained and housetrained. She loves going on walks and visiting fully fenced dog parks. Leashed hikes at the Lafayette Reservoir are one of her favorite things! But she'd rather play with another doggo than go for a walk! Loves to play fetch! She sleeps at night in her crate, which she loves!

We are a Lafayette family looking for vacation trades for our Havanese. She is pretty mellow and her breed is designed for apartment living

Hi - I’m Jen. I’m an Aussie-American raising my teenage boys, Val & Xavier, in Lafayette with my hubby, TJ. Tilly joined our family in April this year and is such a delight. We also have a cat named Chopper who is indoor/outdoor. Chopper is part Bengal so doesn’t shed very much.

Our dog is part of our family, and if yours stays with us they will be treated that way too! We hike on local trails every morning, have a fenced yard, and work from home so someone will be around almost all of the time. Our dog is 7 years old, friendly with dogs and people, and naps most of the day after a morning walk. He isn't interested in long stretches of rambunctious play so if your dog has lots of doggy play energy it probably won't be a great fit.

Ivy may be elderly but she is my baby! One walk and she’ll happily snooze for the rest of the day. Preferably on a sofa up close to a human.

Hello! We're a family with three kids - ages 11, 9 and 7 - and one dog - a 1.5yo small labradoodle. We usually work from home and have pretty flexible schedules, and a big fenced backyard. We're happy to host one dog at a time - I struggle with allergies, so we can only host hypoallergenic dogs. Our house is often chaotic, so only dogs who are good with kids :)

Lily is a 4 year old Goldendoodle. She loves neighborhood walks, belly rubs, and being around people. She's shy at first with new people, but is a sweet, low-key girl. House trained.

We have 3 dogs… a year old lab, a nine year old lab and a 14 year old mix. We are dog lovers, have a fenced yard and a pool. Our house has a dog door. We walk our dogs everyday off leash in the open space near our house.

We have 2 cats and Theo. He is a 20# alpha male chunk. Havanese ShihZu Yorkshire poodle chihuahua One dog at a time. No shedding. No middle of night bathroom needs.

Hello community! We are a family of five + 2 pups named Ruthie and Fez. We live in Lafayette, California. The family: Mom (me - taking care of all basic necessities). I work from home and am available to look after pups all day long, Dad (dermatologist willing to also look at a pup's skin problems) is willing to roll on the floor and wrastle, Oldest daughter is leaving for NYU in August and we barely see her. Child 2 is 14 and is responsible for morning dog walks. Child 3 is also 14 and responsible for afternoon dog walks. All dogs get before-bed walks by the parents. We live adjacent to Briones open space so weather permitting, dogs get healthy long hikes in the hills on weekends. We are open to hosting any type of dog(s). We crate our dogs at night so preference for dogs who get crated or sleep on beds outside of human bedrooms. We have a large dog playpen outside as well as a large interior home for dogs to enjoy.

We are a family of five with three older children (19, 16, 12) + Jasper who is a five year old Scnoodle. We work from home many days of the week and we've hosted several dogs. Jasper is a very chill, non-shedding dog. He loves to snuggle and be by humans. He will go for a walk, but is also happy just chilling at home. He's been great with all adults and kids and he might just be a little shy when he first meets you. He is an incredibly low maintenance dog that we love sooo much. Jasper is also a great host, we've had several different dogs at our house and is very good at sharing his food, toys, and blankets.

My husband, Trenton, our dog, Arlo and I are residents of the East Bay and looking to meet some local dogs in the area to keep Arlo socialized. Arlo is a 2 year old, short-hair, double dapple dachshund. He is neutered, micro-chipped, house-trained and normally friendly with dogs if they if they are able to first meet off-leash. Arlo's favorite game is catch/fetch with his orange ball or if you a have a strong arm, tug-of-war is great too! An important thing to note is that Arlo is deaf. He was born with a hearing impairment and as a result, can be reactive to surprise appearances. Arlo is scared of the dark (understandably so given he loses a second sense when the lights are off) so we use a nightlight for bedtime. Arlo isn't great with children at first given their quick movements and tendencies to reach out to pet without an introduction but warms up to them once he understands they are part of the inner circle.

Looking forward to meeting other local dog lovers!

Our home is full of kids (12 and 14 yrs) and other pets (3 cats, bearded dragon) and we spend a lot of time socializing Bailey (walks, dog parks, in public) so he's comfortable in a busy house. Bailey is a sweet, playful, confident guy. He loves to go on rides with me in the car. Bailey does great on walks with a gentle lead, likes to chase the ball, and loves to play with other dogs. Bailey is well-behaved guy that would love to spend time with a family and 0-2 extra dogs. We are open to watching another dog with a similar temperament (playful outside, calm inside) and that is well-behaved (no sitting on furniture, etc). Bailey sleeps in a crate at night, so we'd like to watch another dog who also stays in a crate or will sleep on a specific bed/mat.

We are a family of 5, sometimes 6 (oldest at college). Lucy is a sweet loving pup, loves people and other dogs. We need hypoallergenic pets. I walk Lucy daily at least 2 miles.

Duke loves to meet and greet dogs and sniff around but playing is not his thing. He is a couch potato and loves to cuddle up to humans. We would love to host a dog of similar size. We are a family of 2 adults and 2 teens. Duke loves his walks optimally 1-2 x a day. He is allowed on furniture in our home.

We are a family of four humans (two little boys) with our sweet dog Loofie. He is a maltipoo and very low maintenance. He needs a walk in the morning and in the evening. He loves to sit on your lap and be petted. When he gets excited he likes to bark but quiets down quickly. He loves hikes and running. He does not shed.

We have 2 small dogs. Both are very friendly and live with our 3 cats. They come and go through dog doors in the house and have a nice backyard to play in
