Chanakarn and Jake were wonderful with our Aussie/Golden Jasper. You can see from the reviews and repeat customers that they are highly qualified sitters. We received daily photos during our 4-day trip out of the country to keep tabs on Jasper. We also felt good about the 24/7 attention and social interaction with other dogs who we're staying at the same time. This is by far the best boarding option for a dog when you can't take them with you. Highly recommended over any traditional boarding where your dog spends a lot of time alone, and you pay for everything including 1-on-1 affection. While we'd prefer to take Jasper with us everywhere, it's good to know we have a loving place he can stay locally.

Amazing caretakers! Sent a ton of updates (including pictures) and treated my dog great. Usually he is anxiously exhausted when I pick him up after a trip but today that wasn’t the case - goes to show how comfortable he was with Stephanie and her family. Looking forwarding to booking with them again!

Pablo for the win! Our dog received many snuggles and it was obvious he was very well taken care of. He kept us updated with photos and we had absolutely no worries while we were away. Thank you to Pablo and his wife for providing top-notch care. We appreciate the great communication and flexibility as well.

Riece and Vaclav were amazing! My dog is a bit high maintenance, but I had zero worries for Sally's 3-day stay after our meet and greet. They took her on a hike to Marin Headlands and out to lunch in Jack London Square! Riece sent me plenty of pictures and updates so I always knew how Sally was doing while I was out of town. I loved how caring and professional Riece and Vaclav were, and I especially appreciate them taking Sally in semi-last minute so I could visit family. I'll definitely be using them again in the future!

Lilly and her husband, David, took excellent care of our dog! Lily has been very attentive to details, and our dog warmed up to her very quickly. Her frequent updates, both written and in photos, gave us much-needed peace of mind during vacation. What’s more amazing is that our dog picked up commands that she long forgot and new ones from Lilly’s training during her stay with Lilly. We highly recommend them!

Melina is super sweet, caring and full of positive energy. She is great with communication, very punctual and fast to respond. Our puppy seemed super happy from the minute he met Melina until the end of his stay. We are sure he had a pleasant time and enjoyed his stay. We cannot recommend her enough, we already rebooked her twice and will always do if she is available!

Winnie treated Hercules as if he was her own. She showed him love, cuddled with him, walked him regularly and even gave him a bath so he came home smelling good! She kept me updated throughout his stay with messages and a steady flow of pictures. I highly recommend Winnie to anyone looking for a caring and loving sitter.

You would be lucky to have Katie care for your dog! She goes above and beyond to care for your baby. My sweet Tony was immediately comfortable and at home with Katie. I had mentioned that we were working on Tony's leash etiquette. When I came back from my trip, Katie gave me some walking tips with Tony. She is an incredible pet caregiver!!

Leaving our pup Koda with Jeff and Beth always feels good. It’s our second time boarding with them and Koda seems to get so loved up and cared for by them and their sweet kids. We LOVE all of their updates and photos, they’re the best! And we were super grateful they were flexible to extend Koda’s stay one extra night. All in all such a good experience and I’m sure Koda is looking forward to going back! Thanks Jeff and Beth!

Lauren was an incredible dog sitter for our dog Kermit. Every day she sent updates and pictures of their adventures. She took him for plenty of long walks and even let him snuggle up with her on the couch with lots of cozy blankets. We were so happy with the care and attention she gave our dog. We will definitely ask Lauren to dog sit in the future. I recommend her to anyone who is looking for a great, reliable sitter, who is communicative and caring.

We had an excellent experience with Violet and her fiancée Henry. She’s super friendly, communication throughout was super quick and easy, and their dog Warren is delightful and seemingly was a great playmate for our dog while she was with Violet. She also sent lots of photos and updates which was nice. They have a great backyard which we don’t have at home so I’m sure our dog loved it! Highly recommended!

What are some dog-friendly parks in Oakland?

With the temperate weather in Oakland, it's always a good time to get outside with your dog, whether you're a dog sitter or owner. Redwood Regional Park is located in the hills east of downtown Oakland, and has tons of trails and open space for dogs to run. They are allowed to be in the entire park on-leash, and are even allowed off-leash in some of the undeveloped areas. Sibley Volcanic Regional Preserve is another wooded park with lots of trails to explore on leash. Off-leash activity is also allowed in the less-developed areas of the park. Lake Merritt is closer to downtown Oakland and is a great place for dog sitters to take a stroll with small, medium, or large dogs on leash.

Why choose Rover dog boarding in Oakland?

As one of of California's biggest cities, Oakland has a ton of dog sitters that are highly qualified to watch your pets. All you have to do to find overnight dog boarding or any other service from Rover is search our site or app for sitters in the Oakland area. From there you can decide to book one, which can be done in just a few minutes.

Why do dog owners love Oakland?

From the 2,079-acre Tilden Regional Park to lively Jack London Square, dog owners in Oakland always have something fun to look forward to when it comes to being able to get out and about with their dogs. Dog owners really appreciate the great weather and the many attractions that Oakland offers, including a huge Chinatown district, Lake Merritt, and the Redwood Regional Park - home to the largest remaining natural stand of coast redwood found in the East Bay. Oakland dog owners can also leave their dog with a sitter and head to the famous Oakland Zoo and its 650 species, or escape to Children's Fairyland, a transporting amusement park with a storybook theme.

What are some dog-friendly neighborhoods in Oakland?

No matter what you're looking for, there's probably a neighborhood in Oakland that has it, especially when it comes to dog-friendly activities. The Rockridge neighborhood is quiet and family-friendly, and has small local parks that are perfect for taking dogs for a quick walk. Piedmont Avenue is another popular Oakland neighborhood, and is home to the Mountain View Cemetery, a cemetery well known for having famous people buried there. Taking a walk through the cemetery would be a fun adventure to take your dog on. If you like to take lake walks, Grand-Lake Merritt is the neighborhood for you. It has a great park called Lake Merritt with a 3.4-mile walking path that's perfect for short and long walks with small, medium or large dogs.

Oakland dog boarding or any other services are just a tap or click away on Rover. Your dog will have fun taking a hike in one of the many wooded parks or will enjoy a stroll around a neighborhood in town. And you will be able to enjoy what you're doing and know that your dog is safe and in good hands with Rover.
