Unleashing Happy Adventures: Discovering Dog Boarding Near Oakland, CA's Heartwarming Community

We are a one pup home in the East bay. I am able to host another well behaved pup who gets along well with other pups, walks well on leash, and is not an incessant barker since we live in an apartment community. I am healing from ankle surgery and unable to drive for the next couple months, so you’d have to be willing to drop your pup off to me and if you’re keeping Goldie I’d make arrangements to bring her to you. We have a great outdoor space and ample walking trails nearby to get outdoors and play.

Timber is an active, playful dog who is a popular fun fellow! He seeks affection from all humans and likes being around other dogs and children. He enjoys playing and exploring in local neighborhoods, parks, creeks, and waterways. Timber is known at our dog daycare (Furball Fitness) as mellow and eager to please. He gladly accepts fur massages and tummy rubs. He does have a strong prey drive towards squirrels, rodents and waterfowl. Gets along well with other dogs, especially dogs of equal or smaller size, spayed males, and all females.

We love outdoors, sport, good food and long walk on the beach!

Active,loving dog mama here who has a very well trained female Belgian Malinois named Falka. Falka is 8y/o and lives in a 3 story townhouse with small private yard. Falka is very toy driven but is the sweetest girl. She is very friendly with all dogs,people, kids but can not be around cats as she wasn’t exposed to them when she was a youngin so she will chase them.

Joji is a super sweet little guy with lots of energy but loves to lay down and chill when he’s all burnt out. He loves to give kisses and enjoys walks. He plays very well with other dogs and is super friendly. He’s great with kids and loves cuddling.

Hello! My name is brissa and I am the co- owner of Canela. My brother is her official owner. We call her nela for short. She love walks and likes playing tug a war and with balls. She love my brother so much. She had a bit of separation anxiety. She so sassy and she don’t like it when we touch her paws or when someone new comes in. It’s so funny cause she backs away and barks when she meets someone new.

I'm Luisa, and Oakland-based dog-owner! Yuca and I live a somewhat active life — we go up to the hills ~2/week, the occassional dog park, play or do training drills in the back yard, and go on long walks around the neighborhood. Yuca is 3 years old and has some fun, teenage boy energy. He's playful, energetic, very social, and generally well-behaved. At home he mostly naps or watches the world go by. He's great with kids and other dogs, and can be left alone for 6-7 hours.

Hi paw-some people! My name is Miranda, and the human that takes care of me is Alycia (they/she). We love going on walks, eating snacks, going on adventures, playing with other pups, and midday naps.

Hello my name is Amanda and I am a single mom to a five year old little boy. I recently adopted my sweet little dog, Biscuit. He’s great with other dogs and loves to play. He can be protective of his own home when you first come in, if you’re a stranger, but is otherwise very chill.

Henry is the sweetest chihuahua and loves all dogs.

Hello!

Family of 4 with a 5 year old and 6 month old. Have had dogs all my life and worked in several vet offices. Both parents are professional adults that work from home full time. I have no idea why the app says I prefer hypoallergenic dogs but I don't! My golden sheds like a monster!

Hi there - Aaron and Renee here. We live in Oakland and recently adopted this cute little 10lb boy! He’s got the greatest personality and disposition. He’s sweet, mellow and low maintenance. He doesn’t bark much, loves belly rubs and walks. He’s great with all kids and dogs so far. We have some travel coming up this summer and heard about Woofie & love the idea of pup swaps for boarding!

Meatball is a 3 year old lab rescue who loves curling up with you and rolling over for belly rubs. He is house trained, crate trained and usually naps on his dog bed during the day or when we're out. He is medium energy, and loves playing fetch and going on hikes off leash. However, when we don't have time to take him on very long walks or hikes he remains very chill at home. He doesn't nuisance chew or bark, but he will alert us if someone is at the door. He has stayed with various sized dogs in their homes without an issue, but he does take some time getting use to them. He generally doesn't want to play with dogs and leaves them alone, and is more interested in humans. For that reason, he doesn't love dog parks and would rather go on an off leash hike where he can say hi to other dogs then go on his merry way exploring the trails. He does guard his food/water bowl so best to feed dogs separately. We don't have any children but he has met kids from babies to toddlers to older kids on hikes and has been friendly but has not been exposed to them for a long period of time. Because of his size, it'll probably be best for him to be around older kids. He loves chasing cats so a house without cats is likely idea unless the cats are outdoors.

Recently moved from PNW to Bag Area 6 months ago. My husband & I live in a quiet neighborhood, in a house with a yard in Redwood Heights, Oakland. We absolutely love dogs and love sitting our friends dogs.

Hi all, I'm a Mom of 4 - a 5.5 yr old son, 12 and 14 yr old girls and a 1.75 olf GoldenDoodle. Ollie is lovely. Easy, and loves to be around people - go to off leash parks and other non agressive dogs. He is not crate trained, but sleeps very soundly through night at end of beds or next to bed. We are open to hosting friends for him when we are in town and would love for him to find a family or person who loves to have him when we travel and cant take him - or want to enjoy him for outings when we are at the soccer field all day.

My partner and I live in Oakland with our 7-year old Aussie, Ramsey. We’re generally active and enjoy going on long walks and hikes together. Ramsey is a high energy dog who LOVES to play fetch and destuff his toys. He’s lived with other dogs before and gets along well but he usually doesn’t play with them.

I’m a work from home dog mom of my rescue pup Frankie, who’s favorite thing to do all day is bury himself in a blanket on my lap.

I'm a teacher living in East Oakland with my goldendoodle, Johnny Cash. We love to hike, trail run, and got to breweries. She is spayed, potty trained, crate trained, and good around children, other dogs, and cats.

We live in the East Oakland area with our 2 dogs; Cannoli (4yrs) and Biscotti (16mos). Both are rescues from Taiwan and S. Korea, respectively. We have a huge backyard with a doggie door - so the dogs come and go as they please. We also have a great open space/off-leash area up the hill from our home that we take our dogs to daily. Our pups seemingly own our home (we’re just their caretakers and guests!) and are welcome on the couches and beds! Happy to help out others when we are able to!

Hi there! We’re emily and Enzo! We live in Oakland with our best friends who have two kids (9 and 7) and a small (10lb havapoo). We have a large fenced in yard. Enzo is 20 months and 60 lbs and he’s a non-shedding bernedoodle. He’s super friendly with people and dogs and is very confident. He loves snuggles and hugs, food, dog parks, walks or playing fetch (although he’s not super ball obsessed). I’ve done a lot of training with him and frequently take him off leash. He’s good in the car but not great with cats. His toxic trait is counter surfing, so food needs to be put away when he’s unsupervised. He is crate trained and potty trained although he doesn’t sleep in his crate anymore- he generally sleeps in his bed or on the floor. I work combo from home and have to go visit clients so I need to be able to host a dog that can be left alone for several hours at a time. My roommate does work from home though, so there’s usually someone else here :)

Hi, there! My partner and I have wanted a dog for a long time, so welcoming Lupine into our family was a dream come true. We work most days in person (I'm a teacher) and Lupine usually goes to doggy daycare. However, we know Lupine likes to sleep close to others (especially when she is out of her crate), and with a few upcoming trips, we think it might be better for her to stay in a home instead of boarding. We're also excited to be able to return the favor with another happy-go-lucky pup. Lupine loves other dogs and people!

Hi, we are fairly new dog parents. We just adopted a 10 month old bernedoodle. We are so loving him and the process of training him, even though it’s tough sometimes. I’m sure you can relate? We want to make friends with other dog parents, and have the potential to help each other with dog sitting, walks, socializing, etc…

Sugar and I love hiking every day on the Leona Canyon trail, which is basically our backyard! Sugar has alopecia on her back so her shedding is quite minimal; she wears sunscreen in the summer and shirts to stay warm when it's cold. Up-to-date on all vaccinations. She’s a sweet mellow older gal who loves to snuggle.

"Smells rule the world!" according to Bernie the Doodle (not a Bernedoodle). He loves on-leash walks, fetch in the yard, stealing smelly socks, smooth car rides and dogs. Small naps throughout the day and cuddling with his stuffed animals are other things he enjoys daily. He is a bit people shy initially and prefers to have his personal space until he's comfortable. We are lucky to have Bernie as our fur baby. We always try take him on our West Coast roadtrips as he's an excellent travel companion. However, we can't fly him back East or abroad, so we'd very much like to find other pet families to exchange pet sitting time for long-distance trips and the occasional date night out on the town. We look forward to having our 1st meet n' greet to see if we're a match!

Eloise is sweet, but concerned, middle-aged lady. She is independent but appreciates snuggles. She loves walks but doesn’t love a lot of traffic. We live near trails so that’s mostly where we go.

Hi all! While we usually arrive to find help within our other puppy neighbors, I wanted to join this community to trade puppy care when we are out of town / country.

Doodle Lover. 2 doodles family. Goldendoodle and Whoodle. These 2 doods are a trip :-) Check out their ig @tiggrrr_woods

New to woofy club and mom of two low energy pups. Im willing to host and take care of two pups of yours in return you host mine. Open to similar low energy and house trained pups.

Hi Caramel is a 18month, fixed, 45 lb F1 goldendoodle. He is very outgoing, loves people and other dogs, also gets along with cats. We live in a 1 bedroom 1 bathroom apartment, and there is a big lawn right under my apartment building where dogs can run and play. Caramel loves to meet new friend, and I mostly work from home (except Tuesdays and Wednesdays and Caramel will go to my local daycare when I go to office, he is never left home alone). I’d happy to board your fur babies Thursday to Mondays when I’m working from home.

My wife and I are the proud parents of a ~5 year old and 7 pound morkie named nano! He’s tiny and looooooves sleeping.

We are Wesley and Jerica and we live in Oakland, CA in the Jack London area. We have a 2 year old Aussiedoodle named Waffles. He is around ~30lbs. Waffles is only able to be left alone for maybe a max 3 hours. We don’t leave him home alone often because i wfh. We live in a small 1 bedroom apartment so we could only accommodate dogs the same size or smaller. I do work from home so I would be around and able to watch your pup all day. We would prefer a non-shedding and hypoallergenic dog as we do have allergies. Dog must be neutered/spayed, friendly with other dogs/humans, potty and crate trained. We are open to play dates, vacation swaps, and dog sitting for a day or more if needed. IG: @Wafflesdadood

My partner George and I live in downtown Oakland with our 9m old pup Savvy! We’d prefer small to medium dogs who are good with a higher energy 30 lb dog. We go for daily walks/hikes in the morning, dog parks, and long daily naps as we work from home!

Hi! I’m Andy and she’s Abby! We enjoy running and being outside. Looking to connect with other owners to bring some additional play dates and helping each other out when needed

Max and I live in downtown Oakland and walk 3-4 miles a day (broken up over 2 or 3 walks). Our apartment building also has a dog park to make potty trips very easy. Max is super friendly with other dogs who are around his size (36 pounds) or smaller but can have a bit of an attitude with dogs that are bigger. He’s not a snuggler, but he likes to be in the same room as you. He loves people (but doesn’t like skateboards). He knows all of his basic commands and is completely house trained. He is allowed on my furniture, but he likes to sleep in his own bed. If you would prefer he didn’t get on your furniture, he will listen if you tell him “off.” He’s a pandemic rescue dog and has separation anxiety so he will scratch at the door when you leave but typically settles within five minutes.

Hi! I am a NYC transplant, moving to Oakland over 10 years ago. Chula and I have had each other since she was 12 weeks old. She used to run and play in NYC's many parks, but in her older years, she's more mellow. Chula is deaf, but still has her eye sight, can still hop onto some sofas, and every once in a while, will want to run a few yards. I have looked after friends' dogs who are older -- administered pills and liquid meds, cleaned ears, washed eyes -- so am very comfortable with all the issues older dogs may experience.

Zero is a medium sized snuggle bug/mellow old dude who loves snacks, trails, and ear scratches - but most of all, napping on the couch. I’m a non-profit worker who loves to read, cook, travel, and go on adventures - usually with my buddy Zero if I can help it!

Theo is a sweet, fun loving, spirited and cuddly dog that is enthusiastic about hiking, playing with other dogs and people and exploring the world (but can also chill at home).

Lola is a rescue dog. We adopted her when my son was 3. That was 11 years ago. She is an easy going pooch, loves cuddle and sleeping under cover in bed with you at night. HATES BEING CRATED. Gets along with all dogs and cats. Will do the sniff greet and then do her own thing. Low energy, sleeps a ton. No special needs other than cuddling at night.

Sheba is a playful and happy husky mix! She lives with her adopted sister Quinn, another husky mix and moved in with a cat 6 months ago! She has adapted great. Sheba loves off leash adventures and exploring places like the Oakland and Berkeley hills, point Isabel, Albany bulb, Cesar Chavez- anywhere she can romp and swim. She is cuddly and pretty chill around the house and used to apartment living. She gets about 3-4 walks per day including one longer romp.

Just testing for now…

I am a single mom of two sweet pups. Scallop is the bigger but younger one; an AmStaff/ AmPitBull mix, almost 3 years old. Mollie is a Toy Poodle/ Chihuahua/ Shih Tzu+ mix, and almost 10 years old. She went blind over the last 3 years and now uses a special halo harness

I work from home 3-4 days out of a week, so I’m able to stay with the dog most of the time. My dog is a little shy, he doesn’t get alone with other dogs when we go out, but has no problem with other dog in home.

I work from home with my partner and am open to hosting a buddy for my pug, Franklin! Based in Oakland in a building that has a dog park and take daily walks around Lake Merritt :)

We've got two sweet pups and recently moved to Oakland. They're getting used to city life. We live right across from Snow Park and we love walking in the park. They are pretty chill pups and enjoy snuggles and naps.

Hello! I’m looking to trade care and build friendships for Isabel, my sweet, playful, and sometimes nervous 1 year old pitbull mix. Isabel loves all other dogs and is an enthusiastic and thoughtful player. She’s shy with people and struggles with being apart from me, but she does much better if she has a dog friend with her. We live in a small apartment one block from Lake Merritt and visit the park multiple times per day. I work from home most days and spend a lot of time outside with her. We also socialize at a nearby dog park several evenings per week. We’re excited about this community and getting to know you!

Hi! I'm a mid-30's California native and mom to Fiona, my amazing 10-year corgi! I've had Fiona for 5 years now and we're best buds. I adopted her when she retired from being a show dog and I'm so lucky. I live in Oakland where I mostly work remote and in my free time enjoy walks with Fiona, traveling, backpacking, and lots of cooking. I've always had animals from a young age and just love being around them.

Cristina and Gracie here! We are two introverts who love cozy time at home and walks out in nature.

Loba is the 3rd generation of border collies that I have raised. She is very energetic and we like going out for runs in the beach every now and then.

Lily is a sweetheart, sassy, and playful dog! She loves to play, hike, and people watch. She loves being outside and going to the lake/beach. She loves to play with other dogs and to play tug-a-war. Lily eats one cup of kibbles once in the morning around 9am and once in the evening around 6pm to 7pm. Lily goes on a walk/potty every 4 to 5 hours starting around 8am. Lily gets hyper and active between 4pm to 9pm. With a good amount of exercise she will become tired around 7pm to 8pm. Lily responds well to treats and commands. Lily loves to sleep on the couch and in a bed.

Hello! New dog dad that has taken on a husky mix. I like a challenge! Benni is a rescue and is a very sweet girl who loves pats and treats. Surprisingly, for a husky, she is almost completely silent... not even a howl! She's very friendly but also timid and plays well with other dogs. Benni is a spoiled girl who gets lots of love and lots of treats. She's also a long-distance runner, and if she gets off leash in public, she will evaporate into the sunset (leashes and fences curb her free spirit). Love having the dog energy in my life, and the extra floof around the house saves on heating bills.

Hi! My name is Cat, I live in a 1 bedroom apartment with my dog Alfie. Alfie is a very sweet boy but sometimes has issues with men (especially of the tall variety). He gets along with most dogs but has had some bad experiences with larger Shepards so he is a little timid around them. He loves to cuddle and tries to get as comfy as possible by always finding a blanket to lay on. I travel a few times a quarter for work and would love to find a good match to trade dog care!

Astrid is a two-year-old 40-pound rescue. We adopted her at nine weeks. She loves people and especially other dogs. She lives with two tweens and is crate-trained.

Shaytoon the international dog of mystery is highly active, super cuddly, listens very well to instructions in several languages including dog. A bit spoiled in a loving home. We’d love to meet local dog friends for play dates, hikes and to trade occasional evening dog sitting (not long term boarding).

Hi, I'm Quincy and Baby is a 6yo I adopted when she was 2. We've come along way, hoping to find a supportive community.

Cuddly and always hungry, will do anything for the treats :) . Loves going for hikes under 4 miles (shaded only). Very friendly loves getting pet but also love playing with other dogs

We are new to the area and would love to make new dog friends. My sweet pup is playful and obsessed with playing fetch. She has high energy and chase drive so any other dog she can run around with and play would be great.

Hi! We’re an active couple looking to trade dog sitting for our fun loving and affectionate 4 yr old border collie/pitt mix, Archer. We live in a small house with a nice yard where he enjoys fetch, tug o war, and sunbathing. He’s very submissive and gets bullied by more dominant dogs. We also have a senior chihuahua mix, Jasper. We are *not* looking for care for Jasper, but he’d be here if your dog stays with us. My girlfriend, Bronwen, works from home so the dogs have access to the backyard throughout the day.

Hello! We are a family of 3 humans (including an 11 year old), a dog, and 2 cats. We live in Temescal in Oakland. We have a fenced yard. Our dog Hank is a sweet hound mix boy we rescued in Feb of 2023. He is pretty mellow for a young guy and is pretty easy to care for. We take him on a few walks a day, and have fun in the yard as well. We have a dog door. He LOVES balls and trips to Point Isabel. He is allowed on couches and beds - as would any of your dogs that would visit. We work from home mostly, but do go out some times. Dogs that visit need to be able to be left alone for several hours and can't be cat aggressive.

Hi! I'm Davis! We're in North Oakland and I have a hybrid work schedule. Elton is potty trained, crate trained, and eats special kibble. He's 2.5 years old male sheepadoodle. He is nice to all dogs and humans, but will have bouts of high energy and might play rough. He can be stubborn and bark at them to play with him. Kali ignores him and will show her teeth as she plays ball if he's in her way too much. Elton has loud noise/car phobias, has larpar, and IBS. Kali is a 3.5 year old female goldendoodle. She is even gentler than Elton. Potty trained, crate trained. She loves fetch and will ignore all dogs for tennis balls. She might resource guard her ball if another dog goes after it. If no balls involved she is perfect. Working on her leash pulling. We're looking for doggy play dates, if play dates go well, we are open to hosting for short periods. We don't expect for you to reciprocate hosting as Elton is high maintenance.

Hi! Gracie is an 11yr old mutt - mainly australian cattle dog. I live in an apartment with an off leash dogrun attached. I work from home. I take her down to run around 2-3 times each day. And take her with me on car runs. But she is fine being left alone as well. She is very affectionate with people, and loves being with most other dogs, is better with dogs closer to her size. She does have leash aggression, and needs 1min careful introduction to new dogs. Great off leash and great recall. Does need a daily walk/runaround. Can alert us to mailmen, but otherwise pretty quiet. I don't think she will be good with cats. She is naturally a medium/heavy shedder, but I groom her most days so that she is a minimal/medium shedder.

Easy going and low maintenance super friendly dog, little Mary will steal your heart!

Bodhi is a Puppy/adolescent cavapoo. He is very sweet, still has some puppy energy, is house trained and knows basic obedience. He loves other dogs. Being a pandemic puppy with a WFH mom, he doesn’t like being left alone although I’m working on getting him to longer periods. I have a house with a fenced in yard in Oakland. I am interested in play dates. I occasionally have to go into work for the day or want to do something that requires being away longer than I’ve worked him up to. Eventually would be great to find someone who can watch him during short trips, but also know not everyone is up to sit for a puppy. And I’m open to watching your dog in return!

I have a 2 year old female standard goldendoodle. I work from home and have a fenced backyard. I prefer to host dogs with a similar temperament.

My husband and I are young professionals new to CA. We have two dog playful and loving dogs, an Australian Shepard named Hiro (4yrs) and a beagle named Fenny (3yrs). Hiro especially loves other dogs and running/wrestling. Fenny is an explorer and cuddle-bug. Dogs get at least 2, 30 min walks a day and playtime in our fenced backyard. Will take to dog parks or hiking on weekends.

Happy older beagle owner - both beagle and owner are older. Like taking daily walks and visiting dog parks. Enclosed rear yard.

Hi friends! My partner and I live in a cozy town home with our dog Una! We are experienced dog owners who love dogs of all shapes and sizes. Una is also a very loving dog who loves to play fetch and tug of war

milo is a happy extrovert who loves people and dogs! he loves cuddles and playtime as well. he is house trained.

We are a young family that lives in North Oakland. I'm originally from North Carolina and my wife is originally from Nepal. Jimbu (our mini labradoodle) came into our life in early 2021 and we love him to death! He's incredibly intelligent, sweet, and well-behaved. He gets along with other dogs well but really LOVES people. We also have a 1-year-old so it'll be impossible for us to host a dog that isn't baby friendly.

Hello, my name is Fiona and I'm dog mom to Bosco. Me, my husband and our two kids adopted him as a puppy from a rescue organization in Mexico. Since then we've been having lots of fun throwing balls, going on hikes and snuggling on the couch. Bosco is a medium-energy dog who loves to meet other dogs at the dog park and run around with them. He's learned where all the dog parks are nearby and will pull me towards them if I am trying going the other way. When he's home he likes to find the sunny patch on the ground to nap, follow us around, or look out the front window. Once we settle down for the evening he just wants to sleep near us or on us. He's okay being left alone, but because I work from home, he has someone around most of the time! We have a large fenced backyard where he runs around and chases squirrels unsuccessfully.

Hi! My husband, daughter and I live in Oakland, CA and have a friendly Pomeranian/Chihuahua mix named Stella. We need to find someone to hang out with her for a week in July. She does well with other small dogs and loves children. Reach out if you want to meet up for a walk!

Hello! I'm Mandy and my dog Lulu is the BEST. She's the sweetest kindest little dog. I'm looking for neighbors with other small to medium mellow dogs for pet sitting exchange.

Yoshi is a 5-year old Jindo mix and rescue from South Korea, who came to me in June of 2020. Having been rescued off of the streets, he has a very timid nature but has made so much progress in the past few years. We love going to the nearby dog parks and on hikes in the woods, and he has a gentle and playful nature with all other dogs. He is an absolute sweetheart and despite his occasional fearfulness of other new humans, he's a total goof when comfortable and the perfect cuddle buddy! It will take a calm and patient approach to get him fully comfortable, but once he's warmed up he won't leave your side.

Hi! I'm Ally. My senior dog, Hunter, and I live in a duplex in Oakland with my partner, Mike. We're both thirty-something professionals and lifelong animal lovers with hybrid jobs that allow us to be home with Hunter (and possibly your dog) most weekdays. In our free time, we both volunteer with animals. We live right across the street from a park, and we take Hunter their every day. Hunter is my incredibly loving, lifelong best bud. He's twelve years old, housetrained, and good with other dogs (so long as they are friendly or neutral). We regularly pet sit for our friends. Hunter was recently diagnosed with diabetes, so he receives insulin twice a day (it's surprisingly easy to do!). Otherwise, he's an easy keeper.

we have a mini schnauzer who is young but overall quite mellow and loves other dogs. We both work in medicine and love to travel. I have allergies and can only host dogs that shed very minimally, preferably smaller given our tiny house, but we have a good yard.

Hi there, we have a 6yo rescue shepherd mix. We live in an apt so we’ll tend to do 3-4 walks/runs day. We’re open to have one other dog stay.

Hi there — My partner and I have had Riley since Sept 2023 and she has been the perfect little buddy for us and totally completes our family!

Looking for folks to trade walking/boarding with my sweet pup marshmallow. She is very affectionate but mostly ignores other dogs. Good with cats although she’ll chase them a little bit. She has a back injury that needs to be minded; she shouldn’t jump or use more than a couple stairs. And she shouldn’t rough house too much, No tug and the like

Calcifer loves other pups and goes to daycare almost daily. I can’t afford to get another pup, but calcy would love to have a best friend! I am a doctoral student that has fostered dogs since I was 11. I have been referred to by friends as a “dog whisperer” and love taking the pups to the dog park. Hopefully your dog will like to play and hang out with us in the sun as well!

Hi! My name is Jessica and my beautiful playful big furry girls name is Duchess❤️ we are new to Oakland and are looking for other doggy friends to play with. Also, if anyone lives in Oakland or anywhere between Oakland and San Francisco, I am in need of assistance with Duchess while I go to work. I work night shifts in San Francisco and my baby girl has no one to play or cuddle with when im away.

Hi! we’re Julia and Ruffles! We live in a 1000 sqft apartment in Ivy Hill. I’m a single dog mom who works full time outside the home, so taking care of Ruffles requires some creativity! But I work hard so he can have a better life, so I’m happy to do it! I would love to find some friends in the community who might be willing to let Ruffles hang out at their house during the weekday sometimes! I would be more than happy to return the favor by hosting on weekends. Ruffles is a 23 pound, non shedding, mini golden doodle. He’s a sweet boy who loves playing and cuddling but is still building his confidence. His vices are that he can sometimes be a little feisty and he loves jumping on people, but we’re working on it! He is crate trained and loves playing at the park.

Hi! I live with my shepherd/lab mix dog Molly in a house by the lake with a fenced backyard. She is very sweet, sometimes anxious, and occasionally jumpy. She enjoys long walks, runs, and fetch. I work fully remotely so am home a lot.

Hi all! I’m a 35yo Food science/Food safety professional who loves to stay active in my downtime. I have a sweet 5yo Dobie who has a ton of energy and is very playful!

I live in a dog-friendly apartment in Oakland with Niko, my sweet, energetic 2-year old mixed breed dog. We enjoy cuddling and going on hikes in the area, and would be open to hosting one dog at a time.

Hello, my name is Sasha and I'm the dog mom to a 2 yr old cavapoo named Loki. Loki is potty-trained, knows all the basic commands, and is very sweet and affectionate. He is an energetic dog that loves cuddles, squirrels, and treats.

Hey there! My partner and I stumbled upon Zola almost three years ago now. Typically we’re wondering around lake merrit or Piedmont hills. But we also take the occasional hikes and beach walks in the city. Travel is one of our passions so it’s important to build a community willing to help out with dog care. One of the many reasons we’re so excited to meet other pup parents through this process!
