Holiday Dog Boarding, Bay Area? Help! Over the past few weeks called a lot of services, didn't hear back from most, and a few that did get back to us were already booked for the holidays. Now that it's getting closer to Christmas, I turn to reddit in my time of need haha. Does anyone have any experience with dog boarding in the bay area, or know of a good dog sitter. I've used services like rover.com with some success in the past, but haven't been able to track down anyone for christmas week. It has not helped that our dog is a rescue that is a bit on the special side. Gets nervous, anxious, scared easily. One of the sweetest dogs on the planet, but the myriad of small issues seem to send people running. Any advice is appreciated, thanks!

Not sure if you've tried calling any of these but these are ones I know and have used before. FWIW I've noticed that a lot of these places are *terrible* at returning calls or emails - not sure why, maybe they're busy minding the dogs? You may have to *hound* them... (bad pun - sorry) [SF Houndlounge](http://sfhoundlounge.com/) offers open (not in kennel) boarding which can reduce anxiety in a lot of nervous pooches. Likewise [petcamp](http://www.petcamp.com/) I think offers open boarding for some dogs And you could try [these folks Pawsitive Tails](http://sfpawsitivetails.com/petsitting.html) - they offer at home housesittting which might suit your dog
