The Pack Fruitvale

The Pack Fruitvale offers dog boarding and dog daycare in Oakland, CA, from its location at 3550 E 9th St in the Fruitvale neighborhood. The kennel handles drop-in daycare and multi-night stays for owners who need coverage for a workday or a longer trip. Dogs spend the day in group play, and kennels are used for sleeping only. Play groups are split by size, so small dogs and large dogs are not mixed.

What's included in a stay

• All-day play, with separate groups for small and large dogs
• Overnight boarding, with kennels used for sleeping only
• Indoor play space
• Kibble meals available as a $5 add-on per meal
• Accommodation for dogs on special diets

What sets it apart

PackPerks, the loyalty program, starts on day one, and those discounts never expire. Households booking more than one dog get a multiple-dog discount. Anyone who has adopted or fostered a dog through Rocket Dog Rescue gets a discount as well. Published boarding rates run $60 to $70 per night. For owners who board often, the fact that credits carry forward instead of resetting is worth doing the math on.

Booking and first visits

New clients start with a 45-minute meet and greet, which gives the staff and the dog a chance to size each other up before a first stay. Bookings are handled online. Proof of vaccination is required. Questions can go to 510.822.1943 or randy@TPFdogs.com, and the kennel posts on Instagram and Facebook. Rates and booking live at tpfdogs.com.
