Dog Boarding Near Walnut Creek, Ca

Hi there! I am a pet parent to the beautiful Bella. She is 14 months, very dog-friendly, and relatively mild-mannered, but still playful! She to loves play, sniff, chew her yak chews, and observe the world. She especially loves wrestling play, but is very social, so will adjust her play style to engage the other dog (usually chase or ball stealing). We are also working on getting her to ‘settle’ when there is a small, non-aggressive dog that really wants to play but is a little afraid of her size. I have an elderly mom who has had multiple strokes. I am mostly looking for regular play dates and consistent trades so I can fly to see her (about once every 3 months). For this reason, I am also mask conscious in crowded public spaces (e.g. indoor shopping). I work mostly from home, with occasional commutes to SF.

We are a family of 4 with 2 boys (9 and 7), and our golden retriever; Nila is a sweet, mellow and friendly pup who is 2 this Aug 26, 2022. We would love a host who have kids or golden retrievers or mellow dogs. And we would love to host any dogs who are great with kids!

Jax likes to play and gets along well with other dogs and people. Needs about two good walks a day.

We are a family of 4 - my husband and I and our two standard poodles. Our grandkids (8yo and 4yo) spend a lot of time at our house. We are looking for potential dog swaps when we travel and would love to meet new friends (poodles or poodle mix preferred).

We are a family of 4. We keep bees and chickens. Our dog, Knightly, loves people and dogs (sometimes shys away from large dogs unless they are docile - his favorite friend is a golden retriever!). We are happy to host a dog at our home that does well with families, other animals, and has no aggression.

hey my name is gitty, I have a 1 year old golden retriever dog named Nala Who has never been away from me. I’m looking for a nice and safe home for her for the dates of October 13-30 I will be away visiting family. Preferably someone who can spend most the days with her and not leave her for lengthy amount of time.

We live in Lafayette and would like to find other people in the area to help with dog sitting from time to time.

Hi! We're a dog family with 2 older kids (10 and 13) and 2 cattle dog mixes (about 1 year old). The dogs are brothers and have sweet personalities. They are pretty chill once they've had a good walk or play time.

We are a family of 4 with one child entering Kindergarten and the other 3rd grade in the fall of 2023. We had a dog for 15.5 years but she passed away in 2022. We are thinking of getting another dog in 2024 but until then would love to host and help out others by giving love to your pup while you are away. Our family misses having a dog deeply, but we need a little more time before we can go into puppy training mode again.

I’m Ashley, I’m 34 years old and have a miniature long haired dachshund named Mila. I work from home and can take breaks throughout the day for playtime or walks (if it’s not too hot). We have a fully fenced yard and ramps/little stairs to get up on the couch or bed). My dog Mila is very shy with new people and dogs, but after getting to know them and feeling comfortable with them she becomes playful and very sweet. I’m looking to be able to swap boarding with someone that can watch her while we go away on vacation or want a longer night out, preferably someone who also has a small dog that she could play with as this automatically makes her more comfortable and excited. Mila does have separation anxiety so she would need to stay with someone who works from home and wouldn’t leave her alone for too long. She also sleeps in our bed at nights, so someone who is comfortable with her sleeping in their bed is also ideal.

Harry is one big lovable Golden Retriever and he blends in well with our busy household of three kids (ages 8-13). He has done some obedience training, rally work and agility training and he continues to enjoy agility sessions he does with my teenager.

Mom to a solemn little 28-lb wire hair terrier mix. I have a fenced yard and work at home a majority of days.

Mando is a sweet well behaved pup who knows his commands. Very treat motivated. He loves to get out on a walk or play session in the mornings and evenings and otherwise lounges around.

I’m an avid hiker, averaging 3–5 miles per hike. Usually bring my dog! I’m a married mom of teenagers.

Hi there! I've had Callie since she was 4months old and started training right away. She knows basic commands and is used to walking in Downtown Walnut Creek. Scooters sometimes scare her if they are coming from behind. She can be anxious and timid dog but a few treats warms her up. She loves other dogs and hasn't had one bad experience with them. She sleeps and eats in her crate. I usually work from home 4 days a week. So she is in her crate when she wants to sleep and on the couch or on the patio otherwise. I live in an apartment with a back patio and a doggie common area. I live near downtown Walnut Creek so walks are loud and noisy but the apartment is quiet. Let me know if you have any other questions! --Dana

I am in my mid 30's, work in tech and have 2 dogs, a miniature poodle and a Japanese Akita. I usually have someone to care for my Akita, so the one that needs boarding is my miniature poodle. He is 12 lbs, potty trained, and very calm. He doesn't like big or overly energetic dogs. He does great with smaller, low energy dogs. He's not playful with other dogs, but he LOVES human attention.

Lyla is a super friendly, sweet dog, and gets along with most anyone and any dog. She is used to being around lots of people and kids. Even though she’s getting older and is mellow when home, we take her hiking everyday, so she’d need to be with someone who gets out for daily walks. Lyla is always ready to play. Oh! And she’s obsessed with balls. Most of the year we’re around, but when we’re gone, we’re gone for a month or two. We try to have Lyla stay with friends, but they’re not always available. Looking for people who would be willing to take her for a month or so. We are happy to help you during the times we’re around.

My husband & I, our Goldendoodle, and our cat live in Walnut Creek. Half of the time my 8 year old step daughter is also here. We are open to caring for other dogs when we have the opportunity. I work very close to home as a nurse 4 days/week, and my husband works from home as a software engineer/developer. We prefer non aggressive, non barky dogs.

We are a fun, energetic and easy going family. We love our pup (and his friends!) like family.

Cashew is our 5 month year old minature cockapoo who is spoiled and loved! We love all dogs but my boyfriend is allergic so would need minimum shedding. He is very playful and relaxes on his dog bed most of the day. I work from home so could care for dogs during the day time for a play date!

Hi! Introducing Mr.Bingley and Poppy, two loveable pugs in Walnut Creek. They couldn’t be any softer and just love to be around people and other dogs, as long as cuddles are involved. House trained, non-barkers, and minimal shedding, they make great house mates for dog lovers. Ben and Taryn are happy to host your dog at our apartment in downtown Walnut Creek too. This includes two walks a day and they’ll love hanging out with the pugs in our home, and can sleep in the bedroom (no crate) so they don’t feel lonely.

Hi! I work from home, so I’m with Buddy most of the day. We like to take walks in the open space when the weather is good. He does not crate, but is otherwise well behaved. He does well with adult dogs. He gets annoyed at puppies :(e a random date for his birthday, but we don’t actually know his age.

Have two small older dogs super sweet and lazy. They are good with other dogs and cats and kids who are gentle. They are housebroken and don’t need walks but they need to go out / be walked out every 4 hours or so unless in kennels so they don’t have accidents. They are fine with kennels up to 4-5 hours.

My name is Carolyn. My husband Alan and I live in Walnut Creek in a nice home with a large fenced in yard. We have lived here for over 30 years. We have Gracie who is 11 years old and enjoys people, getting petted and gets along well with other dogs and cats. She is a very nice and easy girl. She gets an easy walk twice a day. She used to run and chase the ball. She now walks fast to get the ball and you might not get it back😊. We are open to take care of your pup as long as they get along with cats. We would prefer not a pup with too much energy since Gracie is older — but a curious dog wanting lots of hugs would be perfect💕

Animal loving family! We have two dogs, a cat, and a kiddo. We live hiking, adventures, and snuggling. Frank is an adorable boy who enjoys walks, relaxing, and eating.

Looking for this Memorial weekend. We have an 11 wk old golden retriever and can’t do standard boarding because she’s not old enough for a rabies vaccine. She has the Parvo and Bortadella (sp?) though.

My dog is a happy fella and he loves all creatures.

Hi! I’m Kymi—first time dog mom to the best boi—Hughie! A Saint Berdoodle (St. Bernard + Poodle). Hughie received his obedience certification from JPK9 (@Jay_pk9) last March! We live in Walnut Creek, loves long walks and training in the park. Family of three (with Husband/Dog Dad Michael) and are all foodies! Hughie is especially food motivated!

Zoe isn't just a pet; she's family, bringing boundless love and warmth to our lives.

Stella is the definition on a Velcro dog and loves to be held at all times so needless to say she is allowed on all our furniture. She plays well with other pets and also loves children.

My partner and I adopted our dog in AUG2022 from an organization called Underdog Animal Rescue in Lafayette. We decided to foster to adopt to make sure we were ready to be pet parents. It was a really great to make sure it was the right time and fit for all parties involved. We live in an apartment with access to lots of grassy areas and parks.

Hi! This is Momo Sun. My husband and I live in a townhouse in Walnut Creek. We have two fenced patios. I work from home so lots of playing with her:) Lisa is an Old English Sheepdog; she's super gentle, friendly, and loves to play with people and dogs. She normally goes on a morning walk and plays in the park with other dogs for 1-2 hours after work. We love to meet other similar size dogs, don't really have any rules inside my house. But would prefer the dogs to have at least some basic training and socialize as well.

He eats only one meal a day during summer and drinks a lot of water!! He eats more during winter. He is both human and dog friendly unless a un neutered dog tries to hump him!

Testing the app, will update soon

Hi there! I’m Nathalia and I live with my husband and our dog Lilly. I work part time and my husband works from home, so we are always around the house. We love taking our dog to the park or for hikes in nature. Lilly is an amazing dog, very loving and caring. She is potty trained and can do a lot of tricks, loves going on walks, playing with toys, sunbathing and keeping warm under her blanket. Being a rescue, she sometimes gets a bit vocal when meeting new people, but will acclimate and be on her best behavior in a few minutes. She is great with other dogs, specially of the same energy and height. We are looking forward for a play date!

Hi! I’m Sarah and I’m the owner of Rufus, a spunky 1 yr old French Bulldog. I own a wedding photography company and have the freedom to work from home! Rufus is currently an only child but plays well with all his friends. He absolutely adores big dogs - the bigger the better!

I adopted Riley and Cameron in 2014 and 2015. They are affectionate and spend most of the day chilling. Riley is more energetic and loves walks and Cameron is more shy and happy to just lay next to you.

In progress

We are a family of four: our oldest is away at college in Boston, and our youngest is a senior in high school. We work from home, have a large, completely fenced back yard, and two indoor cats. Our ALD Enzo is a sweet, gentle, playful, but pretty chill, hypoallergenic dood. We are allergic to dogs, so can only host hypoallergenic breeds.

Kobe is the friendliest dog you’ve ever met. There isn’t another person or dog that he has met that he has not wanted to play with. He is 8 months old and already been through puppy training classes. He is great on long or short walks and seriously loves to play. We live in a home in Walnut Creek with a big backyard for playing. We are only a 0.7 mile walk from a local dog park and the open space is right behind us.

Bear is a 2-year old Australian labradoodle. He is 48 pounds, and the sweetest pup! He is super social and gets along with everyone. He is house trained and potty trained so we do not use the crate anymore. Bear doesn’t like to be alone for more than an hour, so we would need someone to watch and stay with him if possible. Thank you!

Buddy is a maltipoo. He likes to snuggle against you on the couch and likes to chase his ball. He also take seizure medication twice a day. We can host a dog to 40lbs.

Hi we have a 25 pound goldendoodle named Lila. She is friendly, good with kids (we have 3 kids ages 15, 13, and 8) and pretty chill. She loves going on walks and playing with other dogs. I would like to host other dogs that also do not shed and weighs 40 pounds or less. We have a fenced yard where dogs can run around. I also try to take her out for a walk twice a day. Lila is not crate trained but loves to stay in her crate with the gate open. She is fine sleeping on her dog bed when she is staying at other peoples houses. Dogs are allowed on our furniture but not on our beds. I’m a SAHM so I’m not gone too long throughout the day.

My husband and I adopted Bonnie. She is our 3 adopted furry friend. We’ve had dogs forever. We are an older couple and moved to Walnut Creek to be close to our son and family. Bonnie is 2 yrs young. She has intelligence and loves to herd us so she can go to the dog park everyday. She loves to catch the balls my husband throws for her. She had lots of energy. When she gets home she sleeps after all the exercising.

Mabel. Super sweet, 3-year-old English Cream Golden Retriever. Loves to play with people and other dogs and put her head in your lap. Sometimes scared of little kids. We would love to host your dog if she loves other dogs AND cats and is well trained. We have an unfenced pool.

Olive was a rescue and she is the best dog! She is calm and loves to hang out with other dogs. She doesn't go on furniture ( this is a trait she came to us with- wasn't our choice). She does take medication twice a day. My husband and I have had dogs our entire lives and Olive gets treated like a member of our family.

Small, easy going dog. Loves 2 walks a day but spends the majority of the daytime napping. Ideally looking for someone with a small dog who lives in the East Bay near Walnut Creek who is looking for the occasional vacation swap.

Hi! We are a family of 5 (4 humans and Stella). Stella enjoys a couple walks a day but is just as happy napping the day away. She has gotten along with a variety of dogs, but seems to do best with male dogs. Looking forward to meeting other doggie neighbors!

We have a mellow large (probably) lab/greyhound mix. He is 9 years old and likes to sleep and go for walks. We have a large fenced yard although he prefers to stay inside if we give him the option! He gets along well with other dogs, large and small. He isn’t allowed on the furniture except for our daughters bed and even though she is away at college that is still where he prefers to sleep at night. Otherwise he is happy sleeping in a dog bed. I try to take him on a walk once a day although that doesn’t always happen. He is generally good on a leash and doesn’t pull. Every once and a while he will bark at another dog.

Chloe is our second family dog. She is super sweet. Likes other dogs sometimes takes a little time to warm up to humans. She and I usually walk 4+ miles per day. She’s also ok if we miss a walk Very sweet girl

Spanky is such a love and loyal dog.

We are a couple with a female golden retriever, Willow, who is very happy go lucky and loves playing with other dogs. We work from home and have a house with a fenced yard.

Hi name is Astrid, I am new mom of a 5mo old baby and I have two amazing pups. Rocky is a 9 year old maltipoo and Broc is a 4 year old Husky. We enjoy going on walks, going to the park, and when I am I shape I run with Broc! Both my pups get along well and can be playful, but Rocky is slowing down and is not loving play time much these days. Broc is always ready for action! haha Both of my dogs have been raised in apartments and they have luckily adapted amazingly well. We don't worry about accidents or damages, so we consider ourselves very luck especially as husky parents.

Hello! I’m Sarah, proud fur baby Mom to 2 greyhounds and 2 kitties. Love pets of any kind :)

Experienced Dog Mom here to help! I’ve always had a dog in my life since I was 4years old. I have experience caring for & training a range of breeds. Such breeds include golden retriever, Pomeranian/Chihuahua mix, border Collie & currently a Maltipoo. Walks, play, cuddles and lots of love will be in good supply! Animals are allowed on the furniture and will be constantly supervised throughout my time with them. Your fur baby will get some much love and attention while staying with me. I love getting out and about in my neighborhood and have some nice trails around my area. Please let me know your pets current preferred sleeping conditions(couch, crate, their own bed),if boarding. Any concerns about being inside dog parks or interactions with other dogs. Alfie is a super playful pup! He gets bursts of energy, but he’s small so they don’t last very long. He gets on great with other dogs of all sizes and children.

Goose the golden retriever (2019 baby) & Kaylee the standard poodle (2021 baby) look forward to playdates and pack walks with any interested parties.

Hi I’m Faith. We live in a townhome in Walnut Creek. We have a fenced small yard. We love take out dog for a walk, or go to near by park to play fetch. Luna is a very playful, full of energy, affectionate and sweet dog. She loves snuggle ,hugs and kisses. She get very excited when she sees people!

I have a lot of experience with dogs and was a dog groomer for 12 years. I have a 2 month old baby and a cat besides Kai our 2 year old aussie. He is very social and loves to play with other dogs, well mannered, neutered, potty trained and crate trained. Needs some exercise but is also happy to lay around. He does shed but I brush him and groom him frequently to keep it to a minimum.

Louie is a 45 pound labradoodle who loves food and loves to play! We prefer lower shedding dogs, but can handle shedding dogs if needed (I do have allergies). We live right next to a dog park with mostly friendly dogs so we go very frequently (2x a day most days). We do prefer medium-energy dogs though as we both work from home so we're home all day but there are periods where we're working or days which are harder to get full high energy dog energy out. Louie does have separation anxiety - if he's alone at home he can get anxious, but with another dog, he's usually fine home alone. He LOVES food so he'll get into food if it's available on the counters or on a table. He’ll even open bags and get into closed containers that are plastic or paper for food. He won't do it with a human there, but if it's just dogs or if you're in another room, he may attempt. We have a full instruction manual for the basics of Louie and what he knows.

Hi! I'm a huge animal lover - growing up I was surrounded by dogs, cats, hedgehogs, deer, chickens and goats. Now, I have my dog Charlie, while sometimes taking care of my boyfriend's bull terrier Attie, and also leasing a horse. Charlie is a well behaved, trained house dog, with unlimited energy. We go on 3-5 daily walks, roughly 6-9 miles, around Walnut Creek. Charlie likes structure so I try to walk around the same time each day. We also love hiking. Charlie has some dog reactivity since he's small and scared, but he just needs to be introduced slowly and he will get used to other dogs. He doesn't do well with overly excited puppies, rather dogs that will leave him alone. I'd like to get (eventually) certified as a dog trainer and I've been able to teach Charlie and other dogs some tricks using positive reinforcement. Would be happy to work on some simple training with the dogs we will be pet-sitting.

New golden puppy in town! Looking to meet other families for when we take a trip some time in future. We would be able to host 1 additional dog who is friendly with puppies and kids. We have a fully fenced large yard with lots of places to explore. Spending lots of time puppy training right now so just in general introduction mode until she’s vaccinated and older.

Hi! I’m Melanie and I have a mini Australian Labradoodle Ruby. We live in Walnut Creek and I’m looking for an occasional dog sitter. Rue can be a bit shy with strangers, and prefers humans over dogs. She’s super laidback and very smart, loves enrichment activities, and doing tricks.

Hi, my name is Jenna and I live in Walnut Creek with my Sheeadoodle Agent Daisy Johnson aka “Daisy!” I am looking to find play dates and vacation swaps and Daisy is looking for playmates of all shapes and sizes. She is extremely friendly and playful and very energetic. We love to go to the dog park and get the zoomies out. Daisy is crate and potty trained and can stay home alone for 1-4 hours. I live in a small condo with my roommate and her Golden Retriever. This makes hosting challenging as it is generally too small of a space for 3 dogs. To swap we are looking for non-shedding dogs under 60lbs, who are crate trained. I have a small fenced yard so walks or dog park visits can be expected if we need to get energy out. If you are open to house sitting instead, Daisy and I would love to return a swap by coming to you and staying with your dog since our home is so small! Daisy is up to date on vaccines and attends Camp Bow Wow doggy day care.

Hello! We are a family of four. Two daughter ages 12 and 14. We live in Walnut Creek. We are surrounded by lots of trails and parks Our bonus kid “Pepper” loves to lounge around the house and enjoys walks and the dog oark. My daughters are very helpful too.
