About: Hey I’m Izzy! I’m here to treat your fur babies as if they’re mine. When I’m with your dog I like to stimulate their mind by bringing treats and toys and have fun with some training (of course with your permission first!). I am currently a self employed dog trainer so I do know how to handle different types of dogs. My main experience is training and I frequently work with service dogs. I have experience with all kinds of temperaments so don’t be shy to let me know if your dog has an anxiety issue or is overly excited. My upmost important priority is making your dog feel as comfortable as possible when he or she is under my care. I can’t wait to meet all these beautiful faces! I am also a student and still new to the bay area. Luckily at the moment my schedule is rather flexible, I can potentially adjust my schedule for your pet on certain occasions! I will follow whatever instructions you give me when I stay over at your home. There will be constant supervision when let outside or on a walk. Your dog will have a warm bed (or crate) to sleep in and their mental + physical needs will be met everyday!
“Maia was great! She made time to meet Stella beforehand, learn about her quirks, and introduce her slowly to her doc. She walked stella multiple times a day and was very responsive to questions and sent pictures. we'd definitely have stella stay with Maia again!”
“Danielle took amazing care of our dog Tomo! It was so nice that she only watches small dogs. Tomo had a lot of like-sized playmates all week. He got to go to the park and the beach and hang out in the backyard a lot. Danielle sent us lots of photos and even gave him a bath before we picked Tomo up! Would definitely recommend for anyone with a small dog!”
“Felt very comfortable with my pup staying at Latricia's home. She sent so many photos during his stay that I appreciated very much. She is also responsive with messages and kept me updated. Would recommend her as a sitter !”
“Albina was great with Doug. She kept me updated with messages and photos, which I appreciated. Doug seemed happy and well-cared for when I picked him up. Would definitely book with her again.”
“My son’s dog Dobby stayed with Anthony and Nikita for about 10 days, and our experience couldn’t have been any better. Both are genuinely great, sweet people who love dogs. We did a meet and greet before dropping Dobby off, which I think was very helpful and put Dobby at ease when we finally dropped him off. They were very kind and attentive to Dobby’s needs. I was concerned about Dobby staying in someone else’s house with another dog because he is a rescue and he’s kind of skittish, but Dobby and Mia got along really well. Nikita sent me daily updates and photos and that was very reassuring. I also really appreciated the fact that they took Dobby out on hikes and walks with them. That was a real plus, since Dobby is an active dog. I would highly recommend Anthony and Nikita to anyone who is looking for a pet sitter. I’ll be using them again in the future when I get a new dog!!! :)”
“Mariola boarded our shy 2 year old cavapoo for a week. Mariola is a kind and patient caregiver. She provided regular updates during his stay. Our dog came home healthy and happy.”
“Marlene did an excellent job of communicating about MacGuyver's issues while we were away, for which we were very grateful. It was obvious Marlene loved our special needs dog very much (he's blind) and she did her best to walk him twice a day despite him not wanting to walk. (He needed the exercise to get tired and sleep). We will definitely hire Marlene again; her personality is super gentle and kind. Her apartment was impeccably clean every time I visited (3 times). THANK YOU MARLENE!”
“Chen and his family did a wonderful job taking care of Ume for the week. It was a last minute trip for me, so I was grateful for the quick response and many wonderful updates. He sent professional looking photos of my dog on their walks and daily routine. If you're looking for a dog sitter who will follow your dog's routine and communicate regularly, Chen's your dog sitter. His daughter was there to translate as well and that was helpful in person. I have already booked them for my next trip.”
“Mary was absolutely amazing! I am extremely grateful for all of the updates and videos from her during my dogs stay with her. She was super attentive to my dogs schedule and needs (or more so mine for peace of mind). Would def use her again and recommend her! My dog seemed happy and comfortable with her (and her dog). Thank you Mary!”
“Matthew and VJ were amazing sitters for our two dogs, Wrangler and Snacks while we were out of the country for a week! They sent a ton of photos and the boys looked like they were feeling right at home with them and their two dogs. I have a whole write up that I send along with our dogs and they even double checked with me about some discrepancies between the write up and some old info I had accidentally left on Rover to make sure everything was totally clear. We would absolutely book with Matthew and VJ again.”
“Nikolai and his wife have a lot of experience watching after all breeds and sizes of dogs. My pup stayed with them along a large group of other pups over the holidays and we had an overall good experience with them. I was happy to know that our pup had plenty of friends to be with during his long stay.”
“Sherry is an AMAZING dog sitter!! I trusted her to care for my sweet but nervous 50lb girl, Ellie, and I could not have asked for a better sitter. Sherry was so thorough, she sent plenty of updates throughout and put me at ease! She was super responsive to my dog’s needs, and I could see Ellie just melting and falling in love with her through the updates. She’s got a lovely, clean and safe apartment and she is obviously someone who knows dogs well. I would trust Sherry with dog sitting ANY day! Highly recommend.”
“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.”
“Hope is great with nervous dogs and makes them feel comfortable and loved. We booked her last minute for a week long trip caused by a family emergency, and it was so nice to not have to worry about our pup. Hope is very communicative and sends lots of pics and videos. Great sitter!”
About: I offer a quieter, more individualized kind of dog sitting. I only take dogs from one household at a time, so your dog won’t be sharing the space with a rotating group of other dogs. That allows me to give them a lot of individual attention and to keep their routine as familiar as possible. I’m a licensed acupuncturist and a therapist in training, so being reliable and observant is a big part of my professional life. I’m also very conscientious about following your instructions closely. I know how much the little details matter, and I make a point of keeping track of feeding schedules, medications, walks, sleeping arrangements, and the routines that help your dog feel at home. I have firsthand experience caring for an anxious dog who later developed dementia and physical limitations. Because of that, I’m especially comfortable with senior dogs and dogs who are sensitive or easily overwhelmed. I understand how much patience and consistency can matter when a dog needs extra support. I’m especially available on weekends, when I can spend plenty of time with your dog rather than fitting visits around a packed schedule. Depending on their personality and energy level, we might have a quiet day at home, take neighborhood walks, or head out to places like Piedmont Park, the Albany Bulb, or the beach. I want your dog to feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away, and I want you to feel completely confident that someone is really paying attention to them. Pet care fits best into my schedule on weekends, when I have plenty of time to give dogs attention, walks, companionship, and a relaxed home environment. I’m generally available from Friday evening through Sunday and can often accommodate weekend boarding or daytime care. During the week I work a regular professional schedule, so I’m intentional about only accepting bookings when I know I can provide the time and attention a pet needs. When a dog is staying with me, I want them to be part of my routine rather than squeezed into it. I take safety and trust seriously and make a point of following each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. In my home, I provide a calm, comfortable environment and make sure dogs have appropriate supervision, regular walks and potty breaks, fresh water, and plenty of attention. I’m careful about feeding instructions, medications, leash safety, and any behavioral or health concerns you share with me. I also like to know about a dog’s personality, triggers, routines, and preferences ahead of time so I can help them feel comfortable and settled. If I’m caring for a pet in your home, I’m respectful of your space and follow your instructions closely. I’m also happy to send updates and photos so you know how your pet is doing while you’re away.
“First time using Rover and we were very happy! We felt comfortable knowing our dog was in good hands, and got updates daily. We were nervous about our dog trying to slip out the front door in a new environment, but Rob's gated entryway put us at ease.”
“Lee was fantastic! She took great care of our elderly dog and was attentive to her every need. We had never left our little pup with anyone but family before but Lee made us feel secure with regular updates and photos. Our dog had a such a great time! It was wonderful to return and see our dog so happy!”

Ruthy was wonderful with Levon! I felt really comfortable leaving him in her care, and she was kind, communicative, and flexible with my travel schedule. Levon seemed happy and well cared for when I picked him up, and I really appreciated knowing he was in good hands while I was away. I would absolutely book with Ruthy again!
Bubbles had the best time with Rob and his dogs! He usually has bad separation anxiety, but the second I handed the leash over when dropping him off, Bubbles happily walked inside and didn’t even look back at me. And he was so happy and relaxed when I picked him up 6 days later, so he obviously had a great time. Was sent daily updates and photos which helped my separation anxiety 😂 I will be rebooking with Rob again for my next trip!
Jon is absolutely wonderful! He recently watched my senior dog, Chico, who is mostly blind and has weak hind legs. Because of Chico’s health needs, I am always a bit anxious leaving him, but Jon handled everything perfectly. He was incredibly patient, attentive, and gentle with Chico's mobility and vision challenges. I could tell right away that Chico felt completely safe and comfortable in his care. If you are looking for a compassionate, reliable sitter who truly understands senior dog care, I cannot recommend Jon enough!
Visnu is super sweet and loved my girl like her own. It was such a relief to know she was well cared for and loved while I was gone. Visnu asked lots of questions during the meet and greet to understand my dog's needs, and was great about communicating any concerns during her stay (like refusing meals). I deeply appreciated the photos and daily written update!
Niko and Hiro had such a great experience with Jakree! We initially booked them for an 8-day stay while we were away on a cruise, and they came home so happy and well cared for. I really appreciated their whole process—from the initial meet-and-greet and spending time getting to know our dogs, to being thoughtful about which dogs will mesh well together. Niko and Hiro have very different personalities, and it really felt like they understood that and accommodated each of them with so much love and care. We also had a last-minute work situation come up and needed someone to watch them for the day, and Jakree was incredibly responsive and accommodating in taking them on short notice. It gives us so much peace of mind knowing we have someone we trust with our pups, whether it’s for a longer trip or just a day. We’ll definitely be using Jakree again!
Maia was wonderful with Mishka. I can tell she is very thorough and took great care of him. She also sent me updates and lots of pics everyday without me asking for them first. I know Mishka was in good hands with her and will def use her again. She’s also very flexible with drop off and pick up and has great communication.
Jiaxi was great! My family and I had a last minute need for a sitter. Thankful that Jiaxi was not only able to accommodate and be flexible, but he also took great care of our dog Zora while providing updates and pictures. Will definitely plan to rebook in the future.
I left my big 80 lb German Shepherd Prince and he loved his time. He stayed for 4 days and we received updates and was able to face time him so he can hear us. She was able to handle his dog reactivity and I could tell he enjoyed himself and was loved by the family! Will definitely be booking again!

As of September 2026, there are 5,932 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Emeryville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
92% of Emeryville sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Emeryville landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Emeryville home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Emeryville.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Emeryville sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in CA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
