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.

Jennifer and Jordan did an amazing job with Cooper. They really took care of him and made him feel at home while we were away. We received daily updates on how he was doing, and I could tell Cooper was having a great time with them and their 2 pups. Would definitely use again

Michelle took great care of our chocolate lab mix. She was knowledgeable and friendly and a great communicator. We would definitely like to have Michelle care for our dog again.

Keara was super professional. She scheduled a meet and great ahead of time to make sure my dog was comfortable and asked thoughtful questions about her care. My dog seemed to love playing with her and I appreciated the photos and video of her stay :). Thanks, Keara!

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!

Jessica is wonderful! She was able to take our puppy for a weekend stay pretty last minute. Our dog was immediately comfortable with her, and had a blast! Jessica was also super communicative — she sent photos and videos every day. Highly recommend!

I had a great time with Brittany! We went on long walks and she helped me pose for photos to show my dad how much fun we were having. She even brought a friend for me to play with (after checking with my dad of course). 14/10 would visit again. - Numa

We could not be happier with Jeff and Beth (and their two kids, who adopted our dog for the week and showered her with attention and love). Unlike other boarding situqtions, where we know Grace is safe and being tended to but have the sense she is just hanging around, Grace was an honorary member of Jeff's and Beth's family for a week. She was taken on long walks, enjoyed exploring the property with their dog, seems to get lots of belly rubs and snuggles (she shared a bed w their little boy) and we received lots of updates and photos, which let us know she was really integrated into the family and seemed happy. Beth and Jeff kept us posted on any issues (she was skunked on a walk and got a little nick just from playing in the woods) and really treated her like she was their own dog - attentively and lovingly. We were away for a long vacation and the daily updates and photos made us all really happy. Their property and home is comfortable and spacious, fenced in so the dogs can have some freedom. We would definitely recommend this lovely family and hope Grace gets to stay there with them again

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!

About: I've always loved dogs and have petsat for many years. I have a fun, 2 year old lab-pitt mix; we live down the street from a dog park and are often on hikes or Point Isabel. Would love for her to have a companion. I currently work from home and have a flexible schedule. My dog and I go for hour long walks in the morning (8-9am) and early afternoon (1-2:30pm). We're usually at a dog park or on a hike between 4 and 6pm I live in a condo unit with a fence. The dogs are allowed to spend time outside in the sun during the day and have free reign of the home during the day.

About: I grew up with a family dog (male poodle/japanese chin) who passed a couple years ago at the age of 16 <3 My current gal (female Boxer) has been a joy to have around since she gets along with everyone. Your fur child’s safety is my priority. I will communicate and be accessible as frequently as possible. Thanks & hope to meet your sweet family soon :) I wfh 4/5 weekdays so I will cater to you as best as my work schedule allows. My partner goes onsite everyday so they will be home during the evenings. My female dog is friendly and will keep your pets entertained throughout the day. She is pretty active so I try to take her on a hike or to a dog park every couple days to burn some energy. My complex has a dog wash station and a designated area for all dogs to use the restroom. I always have a mid-day session playing on the roof and stick to a balanced schedule of play and rest. Regarding boarding, my dog will be in a caged section of the living room. Wherever your pets are comfortable is fine with me, but please provide any crates or bedding.

Kiba had a great time with Alfredo and his family. I got a ton of picture updates, and she was exhausted when I picked her up, which means she played her little heart out. Thank you for taking care of my baby Alfredo.

Kelly took wonderful care of my two senior dogs. They can home happy and relaxed and showed no signs of stress. I was able to enjoy my vacation worry free because Kelly provided lots of photos, videos, and updates and I could see his happy my pups were. I am so grateful to have found Kelly and am looking forward to being able to enjoy weekends away again.

Right from the start, Noni was super communicative, proactive and engaged, making sure our dog Pickles was comfortable and working to figure out her schedule. Honestly, it took some effort and observation as this was a very different environment for Pickles but Noni was extremely attentive. Pickles was walked plenty and taken to the dog park as well. Never once were we in any way concerned for the safety or well being of our dog. Also we absolutely love getting pics and videos and Noni did not disappoint. Highly recommend!

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.
