Boarding

We offer boarding in our home located in the Montclair District of Oakland. When your pup stays with us it becomes a family member. Nora and I absolutely LOVE having doggy house guests. Luna, our smooth coat collie/husky mix, feels the same way. She is always happy to play and share. We have several dog beds but don't mind a little couch surfing unless you prefer them to stay off of furniture. We also have several crates. Some dogs love crates and treat them like their own little den. Any dog that is not crate trained and not destructive is always welcome to have free roam. All dogs staying with us get one long walk every day in addition to plenty of playtime and socializing at the house. If there is a space in our pack walk that day we may bring your dog. We are also happy and willing to accommodate most special requests such as medical needs etc.
