Dog Boarding in Oakland

Karen is incredible! She's very reliable, responsible, and spends quality time caring for your pup. She's has been so helpful and understanding while caring for my reactive dog. I would highly recommend her services !!!

Jennifer and her husband were fantastic with Coolio. This was our first time leaving her with a sitter and she quickly settled in. Jennifer provided multiple pictures and videos daily, and was quick to answer any questions we had. When we picked Coolio up she was clean and happy. I would definitely use Jennifer again in the future. Thank you for taking such good care of our dog!

We always love working with Sara - she’s very understanding, communicative, and responsible! Best sitter we’ve worked with on Rover and we would highly recommend her to anyone!

Thank you Chanakarn and Jake for taking good care of my dog Bear. You both are very responsive and responsible. I really appreciate the time and care you had given to Bear.

We were going on a 3 week trip and were a little worried about Mr. B, who, as he has gotten older, gets a little anxious about changes to his routine. During the meet and greet, we were reassured to by Anthony and Nikita's easygoing and confident attitude with B, the questions they asked about him and his schedule. While we were gone, we got photos and daily updates, we could see Mr. B was settling in. He even played with their very chill dog, Mia (which was unusual for B). Anthony and Nikita provided good and loving care to our dog. The proof was when we came to pick him up: while Mr. B was very happy to see us, he also went back and forth between us and Nikita and Anthony, wagging his tail. He had gotten quite attached to them. We definitely would recommend them as caring, careful caretakers.

Karen and Hisako took great care of our little dog, Obi, while we traveled to Mexico for a week! We got daily updates on Obi's adventures, and they assured us often that he was well taken care of and loved. We definitely recommend Karent and Hisako, and the next time we travel, we will be reaching out again!

We had a house sitter cancel at the last minute and were so grateful to find Lee. She responded quickly and was very clear. It was our first time using Rover and Lee made the experience a breeze. The girls loved their stay with her and the other small dogs, which was definitely good for them. They are no doubt looking forward to visiting again.

Melina was fantastic! Wynnie loved her and she was super communicative. Our flight was delayed and she was very flexible!Will definitely use again!

I was a nervous first time Rover user and booked my cat Kushy with Aman for a 7 day stay. He was excellent. Aman sent updates and pictures regularly, so I was able to see that Kushy warmed up to him quickly. When I realized I’d forgotten to include Kushy’s hard food, he accommodated my need to drop it off early before my departing flight. Aman was patient with me and Kushy, and I look forward to booking with him again!

April is very personable and sweet, which made it so much easier to leave my sweet pup with her for almost a week! I got regular photo updates and a few questions, which made me feel at ease that she was paying close attention to him. Our initial meeting was in her home, so I got the chance to see that he would be staying somewhere nice and dog-proofed. She seems to really love animals and not just be doing this for the extra money. I also let her know that he has weak joints, and she made sure he was gently lifted off of things, and even made some makeshift steps for him. Above and beyond! Highly recommend!

I wish I could give Beth and Jeff 10 stars. My elderly boxer (Sugar Ray) stayed with them for six nights. It was our first time with Rover.com. Beth and Jeff and their kids gave Shug a loving family experience. They sent me text updates with photos three times/day. He appeared to be completely integrated into their family, in the kitchen when they were cooking, sunbathing on the patio while the children played outside, permitted on the furniture, allowed to sleep with their 4-year-old daughter, given lap cuddles. Their own dog was completely at peace with him, as were their other "guests." Jeff and Beth's property is a dog's paradise. In addition to the open, sunny patio, they have a hillside embedded with stairs and paths and surrounded by a secure fence. I cannot adequately express my gratitude for the care Beth and Jeff and their children gave my beloved old guy. I was a bit concerned he wouldn't want to come home. Your dog could not possibly find a better temporary home.

Charlene is an absolute angel! We had the worst case scenario happen to us and Charlene totally saved the day. Our dog sitter canceled at the last minute before our week-long trip, so we turned to Rover to find someone to care for our dog. However, we had barely arrived at our destination when we found that the person we hired through Rover wasn’t able to continue the booking! Being all the way across the country, and the middle of the night, we were in an absolute panic. Rover’s team helped us to find Charlene, and I immediately felt so at ease. Charlene was kind and caring. She asked thorough questions and was quick with her own answers to my questions. It was obvious, even over text, that she knew what she was doing. Once Schmitty was dropped off at Charlene’s we received messages every couple of days, and even a few pictures. At pickup, our pup seemed so happy and cared for. This obviously wasn’t an ideal situation, and I’m so grateful to Charlene for coming through. Thank you SO much!!

Danielle took qinderful care of my pup Marley who was recently dx with heart disease. I was very nervous about leaving him but she made the whole thing stress free and he did great with her, took his meds, ate her home cooked food (despite being a picky eater) and seemed to live the company of her sweet pup Nala. Received daily photos/videos and updates that were very reassuring and drop off was seamless. Highly recommend!

I am so happy to have found Mary on Rover! She took amazing care of my little guy who is a bit anxious. She treated him as her own and was very communicative while I was traveling sending lots of updates and pictures. Mary definitely understands pets needs and how rescues have little quirks. I never had to worry! Her pooch is super sweet as well, I think Frankie may have a budding romance now ;) Will definitely use Mary again! Thank you :)

Maya had so much fun with Jane! They went to the park and played a lot.

Our dog is no walk in the park with all of his demands for attention and treats! He was loved and well taken care of; now we can get away because our pandemic puppy can stay with Kelly. He obviously had a good time with her little pup because he came home tired and calm. ?

Lilly showed great love, care, and enthusiasm for our Bonnie- Lilly was very communicative, easy to work with, and flexible- Bonnie seemed to love her time with Lilly- thank you Lilly!

Amazing care! Was very attentive to Tamboo and his unique needs. Also was very flexible with changes in our pick up schedule which we are truly grateful for. Would definitely book again!
