Dog Boarding in Allendale, Oakland

“Our pups had a great time!! They were happy and healthy and we appreciated the frequent updates while we were away. We would use Megan and Jenny again!!”

“Honestly, Lee was made for this. She spoiled our dogs like crazy. They were unsure when they first arrived, but by the end of it, they were sleeping in her bed, cuddling, and offering kisses. We kept joking that our dogs were at "Dogchella" because they got to hang out under a cabana, sunbathe, and hang with their new cute friends - as per the daily photo updates. My girl dog usually tries to nip at me when I pick her up from a boarding session (just to express her resentment for being abandoned for a few days - very dramatic but I feel her) and this is the first time she didn't do that. They were sooo calm and tired from all the play when we picked them up. Literally no notes - thank you Lee :)”

“Kelly is the best sitter ever! My spoiled, high energy Yorkie is treated like the prince that he thinks he is when staying at Kelly’s house. He gets lots of attention, special treats, individual playtime, and has a lot of fun. I highly recommend Kelly.”

“Kristen and Ryan were very welcoming of our pup! They were understanding of her nuances and helped her adjust to a new environment fast. They have a nice spacious home with a big backyard that our dog loved relaxing in. Kristen and Ryan were very communicative throughout the stay and sent daily updates with photos. 100% recommend!”

“Chad was an excellent host. He has a welcoming house and yard. He keeps the number of dogs small so it's manageable for all involved. I got daily updates from him including pictures. Would recommend.”

“Alex kept my golden retriever for a week and left me feeling GREAT about the boarding. From the daily pix & videos, it seemed that Alex integrated Mika into her family life completely, even having her at their backyard easter egg hunt! Mika got lots of play time & tons of petting, played with her daughters at the playground across the street, and did her napping right under Alex's feet when she was working. Such a great feeling to know your dog is well cared for when away. Thanks so much Alex!”

“Andrea is wonderful! She’s so kind and caring with my little dog. He wasn’t feeling 100% when I dropped him off. She took extra good care of him, made sure he got plenty of rest, and sent me lots of updates and photos. Excellent experience and I will definitely call on her again. Thanks!!!”

“Our Miss Lexie had a wonderful stay. Chawntea treated our baby girl like family. She made new furry friends, which helps her socialization skills. Chawntea was so flexible with our ever-changing travel plans. Shout out to Southwest. She sent updates and pics while we were away, which brought smiles to our faces. Without a doubt, we will be using her services in the future.”

“From our very first meet and greet Suzanne was loving and caring for our 11+ year old dog. We received pictures during our vacation which we really enjoyed. I highly recommend Suzanne to care for your pet.”

“Best Rover we have ever used! They went above and beyond to truly make sure Itchy was cared for while we were gone, and made him a part of their family. Itchy loved his time there and we will definitely be rebooking in the future!”

“I couldn’t be happier with the care Koko received from Miki. She helped me to pickup my rescue dog from the shelter. The situation it’s very difficult for me when I am living out of state. It was very clear how kind, responsible, and genuinely loving she is with animals. She kept me updated with photos and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind while waiting for someone transport Koko back to AZ. I’m so grateful to have found someone I trust completely. Highly highly recommend!”

“Hy and Arlo are very warm people and they took excellent care of my dog Kushi. Being a senior dog, they followed all the care instructions and also offered to prepare meals for her. They were very prompt in communication and sent daily updates too. I highly recommend their services.”

Jignesh S.

“Isaac and Jordan were fantastic! I have a very old dog and they took great care of him and provided photos every day that they had him. Would recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable loving dog sitter!”

“Zo is not just a rover dog sitter; she's a canine whisperer! Her attention to detail is beyond remarkable, and the frequent updates she shared were like a heartwarming daily story of Spud's adventures. It's evident that Zo goes above and beyond, creating an environment where Spud not only feels loved but also thrives. The sheer joy on Spud's face when he's with Zo speaks volumes. I can't thank her enough for the exceptional care and the abundance of love and exercise she showers on Spud! Zo truly is a gem in the world of dog sitting.”

Jonathan M.

“Valarie was accommodating and ready to customize care for our pet to make her feel at home. We were even able to make weird timing work since Valarie stays up late. Valarie also provided updates while we were away and I feel confident our pet was well taken care of. I will use her again!”

Ashley L.

“This was Rocco's second stay with Jeff and family. He recognized where we were as soon as we started walking to the door and got really excited. They are so great with Rocco, give him lots of attention, take him on off-leash walks, and generally spoil him. We are already planning his next stay.”

Kari S.

“Melina was our first Rover experience and she made the process so welcoming. We'd never left our dog overnight with someone he didn't know – he's anxious, reactive and has separation anxiety, so it was important to us that we worked with with someone who understands and is patient with him. Melina was all of that and more! Within hours she had him snuggling up to her, and by the evening he was sleeping curled up next to her head. We got regular updates throughout the stay (including pictures) and felt so at-ease knowing he was well cared for. We would absolutely recommend Melina as a Rover, and especially for anyone with a special needs dog or a shy pup. She was amazing!”

Catherine K.

“Rachel is a terrific dog sitter! She is very responsive and communicative, and my dog had a great time with her and her dog. I appreciated the photos and videos of their beautiful hikes and play time.”

About: Free Meet & Greets! Animals have always been a huge part of my life. From growing up with dogs and cats to caring for senior pets and high energy puppies. I’m the kind of person who talks to animals like they’re family, and I treat each pet with the same love, patience, and attention I’d want for my own. What sets me apart? I pay close attention to a pet’s individual needs and energy. Whether your pup needs a long walk to burn energy, your cat prefers quiet companionship, or your senior dog needs slow, gentle care, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, loved, and understood. I’m comfortable administering medications, sticking to specific feeding or care routines, and keeping communication open with you so you feel at ease while you're away. I’m currently fully available and have a flexible schedule, which means I can easily work around your pet’s needs. Whether it’s early mornings, midday check-ins, or evening snuggles, I’ve got the time and energy to be there when you need me. Your pet will get consistent care and attention, every time. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and loving environment. I pay close attention to routines, feeding instructions, and any special needs to make sure your pet feels secure and comfortable. I keep spaces clean, remove any hazards, and never leave pets unsupervised in situations that could be unsafe (like off-leash unless fenced). In your home, I respect your space just as much as I respect your pet—I treat it with care and leave things just as I found them (or cleaner!). I know it takes trust to let someone care for your furry family, and I take that seriously. Clear communication and gentle, attentive care are what I bring every time.

“Bailey had a great time, with plenty of activity, playing with other dos, and chilling out. We were pleased to received regular reports with photos. We have already booked Kit Jon for our next trip.”
