“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.”
“Danielle provided wonderful care for our anxious little dog, Blondie. Both she and her partner are equal parts capable and kind. Their house & yard are set-up perfectly to keep the dogs in their care active, happy & safe. We will definitely bring our dog back in the future.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Thais and Marlene were great. They took great care of Harry while we were out for 10 days visiting family for the holidays. Thais was very responsive to us and sent photos regularly with updates on how Harry was doing. A great experience overall.”
“Matthew and VJ were so good with Lily. They treated her like one of their own dogs, giving her treats and lots of cuddles. Lily also really enjoyed playing with their dogs. I can tell Lily likes them, and I'll definitely have them take care of her in the future.”
“Alexandra is a great sitter. She was very careful to gather information so she could personalize care for my dog. And she sent text and video updates. Would definitely take my dog here again!”
“Rosco loves Nasreddine and she is always so accommodating and consistent. She shows him a lot of kindness and I was told Rosco settles right in when he arrives. I am super appreciative of Nareddine’s reliability and consistency and would highly recommend.”
“Our two little dogs had a great stay with Michelle and Hazel! We got daily pics and updates, and it seems like they settled in very comfortably. Michelle also did a great job getting our anxious guy to eat all his food.”
“Sherry watched Seven for 11 days while my wife and I went on vacation. She was very communicative and sent many pictures of her, Wolfie, and Seven’s outdoor adventures. Going on vacation can always be a little stressful when having to leave our dog but we felt very comforted that Seven was in good hands with Sherry!”
“Kassie did an amazing job watching Bowser overnight at her place! From start to finish, she made boarding him so seamless and stress-free. She was wonderfully communicative and sent regular photo updates, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. She took exceptional care of him—keeping him on his regular feeding schedule, taking him on great walks, and making sure he had plenty of playtime, attention, treats, and toys in her home. Bowser was relaxed, super happy, and clearly felt right at home with her. I couldn’t have asked for a better boarding experience. I would definitely have Kassie watch him again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy sitter!”
“Leon did a great job! Loved getting updates with pictures and video clips throughout the stay. Our dog has a lot of puppy energy and it looked like he continued to get more and more comfortable each day.”
About: I grew up surrounded by dogs and other pets, so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. I’ve also been dog sitting and dog walking throughout the Bay Area since 2012. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs with different personalities, ages, and routines, and I understand that every dog has their own needs. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, drop-in visits, and keeping dogs company while their families are away. I’m patient, attentive, and always follow each owner’s instructions carefully. As a certified lifeguard and substitute teacher and mom of two teens, safety, responsibility, and reliability are very important to me. Most of all, I genuinely love animals and will care for your dog as if they were part of my own family. 🐾❤️ I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets the attention they deserve. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting during the week and on weekends. I’m happy to work with your pet’s usual routine and schedule. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my priorities. I carefully follow your instructions regarding feeding, walks, medication, playtime, and routines. I provide lots of attention and affection while respecting each pet’s personality and needs. I’ll also keep you updated so you can feel comfortable while your pet is in my care.
About: As a dog owner myself, I understand that pets are family. Whether it's keeping up with an energetic puppy, providing patience and comfort for a senior dog, or sticking to your pet's routine, I make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for. I'm reliable, communicative, and committed to giving pet parents peace of mind while they're away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, especially during the summer. As an Athletic Director on summer break, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, check-ins, or simply providing companionship, I can be available throughout the day to ensure your pet receives the care, exercise, and attention they deserve. I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment for every pet. In a client's home, I follow their pet's normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and plenty of attention and affection. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a clean, pet-friendly space with regular exercise, supervision, and opportunities for play and relaxation. My goal is to make pets feel secure, loved, and well cared for while giving owners peace of mind through reliable communication and updates.
“Abigail was awesome and took great care of our almost 5 year old Havanese, Bailey. She was very responsive, quickly answering any questions we had. Her home and yard area were perfect. Bailey loved the extra walks and settled in nicely. We really appreciated all the photos and short videos Abigail sent letting us know Bailey was in excellent hands. We will definitely ask Abigail to watch Bailey the next time the need arises.”
“Maya (Anchisa) was an exceptional sitter for our furry son. We took a 5 day family vacation and she watched our 17 lb dog. Maya sent multiple updates every day and seemed to like taking as many photos and videos of our little guy as we do! We feel very comfortable trusting Maya with our dog.”
“Hope was recommended to us by another great Rover sitter, and we are really grateful. Hope is so friendly and knowledgeable about dogs and their behavior. She made Coconut comfortable immediately. Her little dog Rocky is adorable and super friendly. Coconut loved going for walks and playing with Rocky's toys. Hope was great with sending text updates as well as photos and videos. Here's hoping Hope doesn't get too busy to have room for Coconut the next time we need her!”

Chen was an amazing sitter for our two dogs! He was incredibly kind and loving to them and he sent frequent updates. He also sent some really amazing photos and videos throughout their stay with him. We felt very in the loop and we were confident they were being well cared for the whole time! Wyatt, the older of our two chihuahua mixes, is a senior and he takes daily meds. Chen was very accommodating and thoughtful about sending updates particularly about Wyatt! We will definitely book with Chen again.
Sherry was WONDERFUL!! She was very professional, communicative (sent us plenty of pics and videos of our cutie) and most importantly, she was attentive and sweet towards our baby so we knew our Eevee was in excellent hands. We would be happy to have Sherry watch her again.
Ben, Pria, and their kids are such wonderful dog sitters. By far the best experience we’ve had. From the moment we drop our dog off, to when we pick him up we know he’s in excellent care. Sometimes I feel they spoil our dog more than we do. Ben and Pria were also very flexible and understanding when my trip plans changed, and I had to pick up our dog early. I could not recommend them enough. If you want a loving family, who will take great care of your dog and leave you without worry, Ben, Pria, and their family should be your choice.
Hong was an excellent sitter. She was very communicative and gave me regular updates and adorable videos of our 8 month old puppy. She took his routine and training needs seriously and put a lot of effort and care into developing good habits. I would recommend her and her husband to anyone looking for a sitter who treats pets as if they were their own!
I was in need for a sitter for my sweet Kiko for a week while I got hitched in Hawaii. Danielle and Joel took such great care of Kiko, she practically cried a bit when we took her home as if she didn’t want to leave. She got along with their dogs well and enjoyed their home and backyard. They also made the time to share photos with us everyday. I am happy we found Danielle and Joel. We will definitely use them again in the future!
Liza was incredible! She took time to get to know Taika, understand her preferences and habits and they had a fabulous time together. Taika got tons of long walks and adventures and was clearly well cared for at home as well. Liza was very communicative, sharing photos and updates daily. Taika was so lucky to get to spend the time with Liza!
We had friends come to town with their beloved 16-year old pooch, and since we have a very nervous and territorial cat, Leslie was a great option for us for doggie care. She was so loving and kind and very responsive to their dog's special needs. He was a little anxious about being separated from his humans, and Leslie really went above and beyond to make him feel more comfortable, from taking him on extra walks to tire him out, to letting him curl up on her bed to make him feel more at home. We recommend Leslie very highly. She has wonderful, calm, loving energy and her home is tidy and welcoming, in an incredibly dog-friendly neighborhood with an amazing park, too.
Jo was amazing with Kuma! She’s so warm and inviting, is very empathetic with dogs, amazing communication, and very thoughtful. She took time to meet Kuma before the stay and was very easy. During the stay took pictures and shared updates every day. Would 100% work with her again!
Evan was flexible from the beginning, which I really appreciated. He is prompt to respond to messages and sent me lots of pictures and videos of my doggo while I was away. I can tell he took great care of her and she was sooo happy when I got her back. She obviously had a great time. I would highly recommend him!! Overall a very positive experience in every way

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Emeryville is $64 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $42 and $98 per night.

As of October 2026, there are 5,863 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 routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
93% of sitters in Emeryville can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Emeryville home-away-from-home, 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 , 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 .
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.
