About: With 5 years of experience as a pet sitter, I have developed a deep passion for providing loving and responsible care to animals. I treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while their owners are away. I understand how important it is to maintain their routines, give them attention, and provide a calm environment. I am committed to offering dependable care built on trust, patience, and genuine love for animals! Pet care fits naturally into my routine, allowing me to provide dependable and attentive care. I keep my schedule organized so I can be flexible with visits, walks, and overnight stays whenever possible. My goal is to give every pet the time, attention, and affection they deserve while keeping owners updated for complete peace of mind. Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I carefully follow each owner's instructions, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise routines, and any special needs. I take time to build trust with every pet, creating a calm and loving environment where they feel safe and cared for. Whether I'm caring for your pet in your home or mine, I'll treat them like a member of my own family and keep you updated with photos and messages throughout every visit.

About: 🐶 Instead of simple pet sitting, dog walking or drop-in’s, you are investing in a well-mannered companion during enriching activities with a certified professional dog trainer. 🏠 HOUSE SITTING w/ TRAINING The ultimate luxury training package: While a House Sitting stay on Rover does not include an active, full-scale training curriculum, your dog will benefit from my expert background.

What's Included: • Daily structured training sessions covering your specific goals. • Intensive behavior modification and management (separation anxiety, house rules, manners). • Daily video progress reports and a comprehensive hand-off workshop. 💎 Every immersive stay is completely tailored to your behavior goals and includes a complimentary hand-off training lesson at conclusion of stay. Having this expertise assures optimal experience in real world proofing. *Select "House Sitting" on my profile to book a premium board & train! 🏡 IN-HOME PRIVATE TRAINING LESSONS Get professional behavior coaching right where the issues happen! Perfect for backyard recall, doorbell barking, or crate training. What's Included: • 30 or 60 minutes of intensive one-on-one behavior work with brain breaks & rest. • Real-world coaching in your home or immediate neighborhood. • Clear homework steps to keep your progress on track. *Select "Drop-In Visits" on my profile to book your private lesson! 🐾 STRUCTURED LEASH MANNERS WALKS No more pulling!

Drop off your dog for a structured day of professional behavior training!

I participate in local events, fundraising and Hound Around Town monthly. I have since expanded my efforts with Husky Haven of Florida as a transport for rescues. I’ve worked at Disney’s pet resort & dog daycare in downtown Orlando. 💯 My base rate listed on my profile covers standard, high-quality care (feeding, potty breaks, and companionship). Since I am a certified dog trainer, the context described above is offered as an active Training Add-On Package for an extra $15 per day. Just be sure to brief me in your contact message and we can discuss together further in detail. With dog training as my core, and having an Executive Assistant professional background of over 20 years, calendar maintenance comes natural and my availability is easily workable around varying schedules. If I’m not at the dog park or training, I can be available for services as necessary. I focus on science-backed methods that are mindful and effective, while integrating enrichment, affection, stimulation (both mentally and physically), rest breaks, sniffy walks, play time and cuddles. I prioritize the pet parents requests and instructions, aligned with fulfillment that meets the dog’s foundational needs.

About: I have had dogs and cats my whole life and my happiest memories involve animals. I know your pets are your children, and I will treat them as such. I’ve had experience with everything from pet frogs to kittens to a 150 pound Great Pyrenees. I loved them all and I will love your pets, too. I am happy to swing by to check on your pets, or to stay the night to make sure they and your home is okay while you’re away. Please don’t hesitate to message me if you have any questions or comments, I’d be happy to answer them! I work remotely from home in Winter Garden, so I am happy to stay the day with your fur babies and work from your home or stop by throughout the day - whatever you prefer! I have three cats at home and, unfortunately, they do not love dogs as much as I do, so I will need to care for your canine friends from your home. I love animals and I would love to care for your pets as I care for my own!

About: I grew up with cats, but began to be around dogs in my 20s. I owned my own for 16 years along with my cat for 20. I have studied behavior analysis and used some of the techniques with my dog. I have been pet/house sitting for years. I’m currently working part time so I am available for walks/drop ins/overnights and even for longer stays. I like keeping busy and being around animals! I have cared for pets in a variety of homes with a variety of duties, ranging from just checking on a cat, to taking dogs for multiple walks, administering medications, checking mail, watering plants, taking out trash/recycling and feeding fish.

She was able to meet with me quickly and understood Coco’s care needs. Everything was completed as requested and I returned to find Coco calm and happy! Also enjoyed seeing the pictures and reading the notes from each visit. Great experience with Danielle!”

About: I will love your pups. (Or kitties!) ALMOST as much as you. I only say “Almost” because, let’s face it, they are YOUR babies. I totally understand being a doggie mama of 2 fur babies myself. I will treat your pets like they are my own. Also, if you are anything like me, I want you to know that you WILL be getting regular updates. I hate being anxious about my babies when I’m away from them. So don’t worry, I got you! I currently work from home, and I can chose the hours I work. So, when my boyfriend said “no” to another pet, I found a workaround: Rover! Now, I can help you with a peace of mind, while spending time with MORE fur babies! It’s a win-win for everyone! I currently work from home, and I can chose the hours I work. I have the freedom to chosen when it’s time for a break to spend time with spend time with your baby. And I also have had animals around me since I was old enough to breathe. (From day 1.)

About: I’m the kind of person who can’t walk past a dog without saying hello. I genuinely love spending time with animals and treat every pet like they’re part of the family. Whether your pup wants an adventure, a game of fetch, or just someone to snuggle up with, I’m happy to match their energy and routine. I’ll keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your furry best friend is getting lots of love, attention, and belly rubs while you’re away. ❤️🐾 One thing pet parents love is that my schedule gives me a lot of flexibility. I work three appointments a week (10, 2, and 6), and I’m typically only out for 1–2 appointments a day, which means I spend a lot of time at home. I also have alternating weekends off (Saturday/Sunday, then Sunday/Monday), giving me even more availability for quality time with your pet. I have a dog of my own, Honey, so I’m used to keeping a consistent routine with walks, potty breaks, meals, playtime, and lots of love. I know how important consistency is for pets, especially when their owners are away, and I do my best to make them feel safe, comfortable, and right at home. Honey is my world, so I completely understand how nerve-racking it can be to leave your pet in someone else’s care. Our days are built around walks, meals, playtime, and plenty of cuddle time, and I love keeping her routine consistent because I know how much dogs thrive on that. Caring for Honey has taught me to pay attention to the little things—whether it’s noticing a change in behavior, knowing when they need extra comfort, or just figuring out what makes their tail wag the most. When your pet is with me, I want them to feel just as loved and cared for as they do at home. I’ll treat them like one of my own, stick to their routine, and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing they’re happy, safe, and getting lots of love while you’re away.

“Diane did drop-in visits for our pets Kiba, Nigel and Maryanne this past weekend and did an absolutely phenomenal job. She was communicative, reliable, and clearly attentive to their individual needs every time she came by. It's not always easy to leave your pets at home, but Diane made the whole experience stress-free from start to finish. We came back to two happy, healthy, well-looked-after pets — which says everything. If you're looking for a pet sitter who genuinely cares and takes the job seriously, look no further. Highly recommend!”

About: I have previously worked for a pet company where I needed to follow a strict protocol for watching an animal. Between walks, feeding, exercising, playing, administering medicine etc which I would follow when caring for your pet along with having my own at home. My fiancé is also a trainer so we have a lot of experience with almost every breed and different temperaments. I am currently not working, so I would have all the time in the world to care and play with your pups. I am looking for long term or short term depending on your needs. I am very flexible and a quick responder. I have a house that is completely fenced in the back yard. Not only will I just be available to give your pups love but I also have two pups as well they can play with ! They get along with everyone! They are very playful but they can also be lazy couch potatoes. ( if your dog does not get along with other dogs I will relocate mine for the time being so your furry friend is as comfortable and relaxed as can be!)

Absolutely amazing experience! She came through for me at the very last minute and stopped by to take care of my dog Ava. She was reliable, caring, and made the entire process stress-free. It’s a great feeling knowing Ava is in good hands, especially on such short notice. I truly appreciate her flexibility and kindness. Highly recommend and will definitely be using her again! 🐾❤️

Katie is absolutely amazing! She goes above and beyond every time she visits my dogs. She has taken the time to get to know each of them individually, gives them plenty of attention and pets, and makes sure they get some time outside. Her updates are always detailed and include lots of great photos, which gives me so much peace of mind while I’m away. She consistently makes sure they have plenty of food, water, and treats, and she is incredibly thoughtful about the little things. She also makes sure the doors are locked when she leaves and even brings in my mail. I couldn’t ask for a better pet sitter. Katie is dependable, caring, communicative, and clearly loves animals. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can completely trust with their pets!

When we came home, Latte was calm, happy, and clearly very well cared for. That gave us so much peace of mind. Darryl went above and beyond what was expected. Not only did he take amazing care of Latte, but he also left our home incredibly clean and organized, which we truly appreciated. We are so grateful for the care and attention he gave Latte. We would absolutely book with Darryl again and would recommend him without hesitation to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and reliable.

If you’re looking for a pet sitter who is somehow more responsible than me AND my actual pet combined, Briana is your girl. She showed up prepared like she was about to take the SATs, stayed longer than she had to like she was getting paid overtime (she wasn’t), and went so above and beyond that my pets are now lowkey disappointed I came home. Pretty sure my dog tried to file adoption papers. My puppy packed a tiny suitcase. 10/10 would hire again before my pets start leaving Yelp reviews about wanting Briana back.

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Oakland

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Oakland is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $37 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 5,162 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Oakland. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Oakland choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

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 .

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.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.

During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Oakland with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Oakland. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
