Yes I am Currently accepting New Pack Members!
My Service Area is mainly East and Central Oakland & Piedmont. But for the right dog I may be open to other areas so please reach out. Priority for open spots in the pack are given to clients seeking 4 to 5 days of weekly pack adventures.
Includes: 60 minute off leash pack walk at a steady but fun pace. Your pup will be out of the house for about 2-4 hours in total. They will enjoy a grand sniffari and romp with their new best friends and return tired and happy. These socializing group walks focus on enrichment and will stimulate and exercise your pup at a local trail, beach or park. While you are busy your dog will be living their best life!

In Home Dog Boarding
$70
per Adult Dog
per night
(Puppy rates vary $80-$100)
I offer crate free in home boarding for well socialized, non aggressive dogs (who ideally have recently practiced time apart from their family). All dogs must be spayed/neutered. Shy dogs, seniors or those with medical issues also welcome. My home is located in East Oakland near the Eastmont Mall.
While you are out of town your pup will feel right at home with my GIANT grassy backyard! I have numerous dog beds, quality treats, 6 crates of dog toys and offer lots of snuggle sessions. Your pup will receive one on one interaction not offered by a large boarding facility. I also send pictures/videos every other day as well as honest feedback about their temperament and behavior.
New boarding clients are required to:
(1) Complete a paid trial night (while you are still in town) before any reservations can be confirmed. This means I cannot accommodate any last minute bookings for new clients. A trial night helps create less anxiety for your pup when they return for the actual stay. A trial night also allows me to make sure they are the right fit and allow you to visit my home to make sure you feel comfortable.
(2) Email proof of vaccination to EarthGirlDogWalker@gmail.com
(3) Boarding spots are limited so I require a Deposit of half of the boarding fee to hold the reservation slot. This deposit is non-refundable a week before the first day of the reservation during non-holiday stays. Your dog must wear a collar with ID tag on at all times and should also be microchipped (Oakland Animal Services can microchip your dog for $10).
I typically board 0 to 4 dogs year round. We have tons of fun and typically go for daily hikes of a half hour or more. On weekends we go on longer adventures of an hour or more. If your dog has solid off leash recall then they will be able to zoom off leash. If your dog can not go off leash that is not a problem, but they must have acceptable on leash manners especially for large breeds. If your dog has extreme leash reactivity and is large then they will simply get their exercise playing at home with the other pups or games with me in the backyard. I do not go to enclosed dog parks.
My Pet = One neutered male Basset Hound mix (pictured to the left) who is super social and enjoys the company of dogs and people. He was born in 2021.
*Holidays = For major Holidays the reservation deposit is non-refundable three weeks before the first day of the stay. I typically have 3 to 7 dogs boarding during high demand holidays. Please note a one time additional $50 holiday fee is added for boarding on Christmas Day, Thanksgiving Day and New Years Day.
*How I bill = I charge by the night and will email you an invoice ahead of time. If pick up on the last day of the reservation is past noon then there is a half day charge of $35. I do not prorate based on the time you drop off on the first day.
*How you pay = Zelle is the preferred payment method. My Zelle can be found either using my email (EarthGirlDogWalker@gmail.com) or my cell phone 415-760-1189. You can also pay with a check made out to ‘Earth Girl Dog Walker’
Zelle is already linked on most major banks. Typically you just log into your bank account and go to the ‘send a payment’ tab and it should pop up as an option. You can also download the Zelle app but that usually is not necessary. Small credit unions do not typically use Zelle.
*What to bring = (a) Dog food (ideally in a secure container) with a note of feeding directions attached (b) Dog bed—if you use one (c) Dog must be wearing a collar with Id tag on it (d)
*I am closed the week of 4th of July annually and do not offer boarding for that week.
*For stays of 14 days or more I offer a $5 a night discount.
*All boarding pups have a tracking device attached to them that I provide for safety and piece of mind. I also have cameras installed.
*I have experience with dogs with medical conditions which require injections, or assistance with stairs, diapers, administering medication, as well as senior and shy dogs.
*I do not offer discounted rates for multiple dogs from the same family.
