I’m more than satisfied with our experience with Chana. We spoke on the phone before dropping my pup off to simply go over a few things and get to know one another because it was my first time doing this sorta thing! She made me feel comfortable and her communication level was great! I highly recommend and will definitely book future dog boarding dates. Thank you Chana!

Pablo was wonderful with my dog Tubby! He sent an update with pictures every day. Tubby is usually afraid of strangers but warmed up to him instantly. I would definitely recommend Pablo!

Our boy lives hanging out with Michelle and her hubby. She takes such loving care of him and we know he is in good hands. Michelle is easy to communicate with and keeps us updated throughout his stay! Highly recommended!

Alexandra was great with our kitty! She sent me pictures and videos the entire time we were away and I could tell the cat was happy and well cared for. It was a great relief during our long time away to know Tiger was in good hands. Communication was easy and prompt 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!

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.

Jennifer and Jordan took Taco on plenty of adventures and treated him like family. They sent lots of great updates. He almost didn’t want to leave when it was time! Highly recommend if your dog likes other dogs and needs/wants a lot of activity!

Jessica was great! This was my first time using a dog sitter from Rover and right away I felt comfortable leaving the pups with her. And I looked forward to the daily photos and videos while I was away. I was reassured that they were doing well and were well taken care of.

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!

Charlene was fantastic. My pup is a high energy guy who loves to play and their backyard fit his lifestyle perfectly. Charlene was super meticulous to ask about his needs and what he liked to make sure he was comfortable and send a ton of videos & updates on how my guy was doing. Would definitely use & recommend their services for the future again!

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.

Stephanie is absolutely amazing. She watched both of our dogs for a week and provided daily updates on what they were up to and included some amazing pictures. One of our dogs wasn’t feeling amazing a few of the days and Stephanie went above and beyond to notify us and even offered to take the dog to the vet. Both dogs are properly exhausted after an amazing visit with Stephanie, even teaching me a fun game to play with the dogs! I 100% trust Stephanie with my dogs and honestly can’t put into words how happy I am to have found her.

Violet was a tremendous babysitter for my boy Bo! It was very clear from the beginning he was extremely comfortable in his environment and it would be a great stay. I got very frequent and fun pics/videos during his stay, which put me greatly at ease. Would definitely bring Bo back to Violet's home in the future.

Juliana was absolutely wonderful! She gave Buddy so much love and I could tell when I picked him up that he had established a bond with her. :) I recently lost our my furry bestie of 16 years and Buddy was with him over 11 years so I was really nervous about leaving him with someone new since we’re both a little fragile but Juliana was incredibly gracious to us both and her care allowed me to be away for a week long work trip stress free. I got pics and a video and each one Buddy was living his best life. :) Great communication from her throughout the whole process. I highly recommend Juliana’s services!

Noni graciously agreed to take care of our very elderly dog for a night, even after I explained all the challenges with taking care of her. I was so appreciative that she was willing to help us. She asked great questions about her needs and was super positive. Once she had our pup, she sent detailed info and photos on her. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone who is looking for help for their dog.

Katie may be better with dogs than she is with people--and she's pretty damn good with people. Any time I need to leave my little one with anyone, she is the very first person I call, and if she can't do it, I will literally delay my plans until the next time she is available as I don't trust my dog with anyone else.

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.
