Dog Boarding in Oakland

Sherry is wonderful! She took incredible care of Ozzie. Great communication and lots of photos. Thank you Sherry!!!

Mickey is always excited to stay with Matthew and Van and their two lil ones, I always know he’s going to be taken well care of and treated as a member of the family

Anthony and Nikita are the best. My dog is skeptical of all adults and they were calm and patient with him and there my dog was cuddling and playing with them. My dog loved playing with their dog. My dog was so cared for by Anthony and Nikita.

Stephanie provides the BEST care for our pup Otis. His visits with her family help Otis grow immensely as she provides him with fulfilling experiences and guides him when he is challenged. We feel incredibly lucky that they have welcomed him into their home and Otis truly looks forward to his stays.

Len took fantastic care of my girl Winnie! I got lots of photos and felt very comfortable knowing she was in good hands :)

Will definitely be a repeat client! We left our 1-year-old dog Stevie with Danielle for 11 nights. It was our first time using Rover. Couldn't be happier with how she was cared for. Having multiple dogs around really helped Stevie's separation anxiety and Danielle helped with OUR separation anxiety by sending loads of photos and videos. Danielle is flexible, always responsive, and thinks ahead of time about possible conflicts with other dogs. Really appreciate having her as a resource. Will definitely book Stevie here again!

I had a weekend trip planned and sadly family and friends couldn't sit Aggie, though was recommended by a friend to try Rover. So with about a week before the trip, I wanted to find a neighbor that was communicative, responsive, had and has current experience with dogs, and is familiar with dog sitting. On a brief search, I found Marlene and Marlene's mom with lots of positive reviews and close by to me! I reached out, checked in a bit, and made arrangements for a pre-dog sit meeting for everyone to meet one another which gave me peace of mind. Marlene was responsive, communicative, and thoughtful. I appreciated the photos Marlene sent me during the weekend. Aggie's an older foster dog, and Marlene was quick to share some questions and concerns which we were able to figure out together on a brief phone call which I really appreciated. I'm new to Rover, and our conversation helped me to be communicative about Aggie's conditions as an elder dog, reassure Marlene, and to update Aggie's profile. I was happy to see Aggie when I picked her up and Marlene and Marlene's mom were very kind, thoughtful, and open about sharing the latest of Aggie's conditions. If you're in the east bay/Berkeley/Oakland/Emeryville area, I recommend Marlene and Marlene's mom!!

Felt very comfortable with my doggie staying with Latricia. She sent me photos everyday without me asking which I loved! I’m definitely using her again!!!!!!!

Another successful stay at Kelly’s! So glad our Nino loves Kelly as much as she loves him. He even whined today when she was walking away. Thank you again Kelly!

Julie and Ankit were great! They were easy to communicate with, flexible, and took great care of my dog. They even gave her pumpkin when she had diarrhea which was very caring and sweet! I’d send Zola back to them any time!

Rob was the best!! Super communicative, friendly, and easy for myself and others to schedule with (especially with me not being able to do pickup/dropoff). My 11 year old golden mutt had an amazing time.

As always, Megan and Jenny took amazing care of our dog Maple while we were away. They even picked her up, followed all of our instructions to keep her on a strict diet, and spent lots of quality time with her. We loved getting daily pictures and videos, so we always knew she was happy and doing well. Maple came home happy and fulfilled and we know she’s always in good hands when she stays with Megan and Jenny!

Tiara was able to watch Lexi for me very last minute. She sent regular pictures and updates and was very easy to communicate with. I will definitely board with her again!

Lee and her pups is so great with our dog! We get regular updates and pictures and Penelope has the best time! I know that she will be safe and cared for!

I couldn’t have asked for a better person to care for Oberon. Albina’s home has such a calm, beautiful energy—he settled in right away. She sent thoughtful updates and photos that really showed how relaxed and happy he was. When I picked him up, he was clearly at ease and well cared for. Highly recommend and would book again!

Inko was absolutely amazing from the very first meet and greet. She is so communicative, kind, and beyond welcoming — I immediately felt comfortable leaving my beloved Polo with her and her husband. They truly went out of their way to make sure he was cared for like family. Polo is my son, my only baby, and I always get so anxious whenever I have to travel. But Inko gave me all the reassurance I needed with consistent updates, thoughtful messages, and adorable photos that showed Polo looking completely at home. It was clear he was happy, comfortable, and loved every moment of his stay. I cannot thank Inko enough for taking such wonderful care of Polo. I will definitely be booking with her again in the future. If you’re looking for someone who treats your dog like their own, Inko is the one! From the bottom of my heart, thank you, Inko, for caring for Polo like your own baby! 🩷💕

Shannon & Rocky D are always great with Callie! They give Callie lots of love and attention. She always has the best time with them. Choosing a dog sitter can be stressful, but I never worry when Callie stays with Shannon & Rocky D. I’ll definitely be booking again.
