“Maria is the best! Our dog loves staying with her! She’s very flexible and she communicates so well and plus she sends tons of photos and videos! We will continue sending our dog to Maria every time we visit Orlando/Disney! Thank you Maria!”
“Kymry was very kind, accommodating and went above and beyond with communication :) she gave us many updates and reassured us throughout Peanut’s stay. We will 100% be using her again when we come down to Orlando to visit some theme parks!”
“From the time we had a preview of the facilities to the complete of our contract, four days later, we trusted Viviana completely! She has a genuine air of knowledge, love and caring. Her facility is clean, thoughtful and unique. As out of towner RV’ers, we needed Viviana to watch our pooch while we toured and enjoyed 4 wonderful days at Disney World. Three Of the days were long. So, with early mornings drop offs and late evening pickups, We so much appreciated Viviana’s care and kindness. For us, it amounted to a 34 mile round trip morning and evening in order to even start our drive into Disney. And so, YES, we recommend Viviana explicitly!!!”

“Mariela was a wonderful doggy care. She kept my family and i updated with how Benji was doing as well as his walks and fed time. I will definitely like to book her again if possible. I’m out on vacation and Benji doesn’t like to stay alone for long periods of time. This was the best app!”
“Julie was fantastic! We had a meet and greet prior for my 5 month old dog Pickles, and Julie made me feel so comfortable. Today was the day that Julie watched her and I felt very relaxed leaving her in Julie’s hands. Julie sent me pictures and kept me updated and Pickles was happy and tired from all the playing! We can’t wait for our next stay.”
“Kayla was marvelous! Very welcoming and took good care of my baby. This was my first time leaving Wrigley with anyone and Kayla kept me up to date with how he was doing throughout the day which really put me at ease. Wrigley thoroughly enjoyed his day with Kayla’s fur baby, CoCo Puff! Wrigley will definitely be visiting again.”
About: Hi! My name is Katie, and I have been around animals my entire life. I have owned and cared for dogs since I was born and have experience caring for both dogs and foster cats of all ages. I am comfortable handling puppies, kittens, adult pets, and senior animals, and I understand that every pet has unique needs and routines. I currently have two friendly, neutered, and trained dogs who are well-socialized with other animals. If a pet prefers their own space, I also have the ability to keep dogs separated to ensure everyone remains safe and comfortable. My home is equipped with supplies for dogs, including crates and other essentials, and I am happy to accommodate additional needs whenever possible. Whether your pet needs playtime, walks, feeding, medication reminders, cuddles, or simply a reliable companion while you’re away, I will treat them like family. In addition, I am CPR and First Aid certified and have extensive volunteer experience in healthcare. My goal is to make both you and your pet feel comfortable, confident, and cared for throughout every stay. I am a recent high school graduate and an incoming University of Florida student, so I have a very flexible schedule throughout the summer. I have reliable transportation and am available for boarding, drop-in visits, dog walking, and house sitting throughout the week and on weekends. Because of my open availability, I can accommodate early mornings, evenings, and last-minute requests whenever possible. My goal is to provide dependable care that works with both your schedule and your pet’s routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a safe, pet-friendly home with supplies to care for dogs of all ages, including puppies and senior dogs. I also have two friendly, neutered, and trained dogs who are comfortable around other animals. If needed, I can easily keep pets separated using crates and separate areas of the home to ensure everyone feels comfortable and secure. I am experienced with both dogs and cats, including foster cats, puppies, and kittens. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, exercise routines, and any special requests provided by owners. I currently have a senior dog of my own and have experience administering medications and following consistent care routines. I also provide regular photo and video updates so you can feel confident that your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away.
“We drove from ATL to Orlando for a wedding with my Cleo. We left her with Rennan for a few hours and you could see how happy she was. We definitely recommend and will use him next time!!!!”
“Veronica was super sweet, great communication and so accommodating. She took on a last minute booking. Veronica made Sadie a room to get acclimated with her environment, before she got acclimated with Veronica. She sent me updates w pictures. But most of all she provided safe environment w lots of love for Sadie.”
“Jared was great! He sent lots of pictures and took great care of my Loki. She came home and was so tired from all of the play with his pups! Would definitely book again.”

She sent a ton of pictures and videos and it was so nice to see what was happening while we were away. Monica is very sweet and caring and we would highly recommend her!”
About: I love animals and dogs have always had a special place in my heart. I’ve had dogs growing up and in all my adult life. I spent a couple of years volunteering at Pet Alliance, have been a foster and often dog sit for family and friends. Your dog will feel right at home with us. We have 3 kids a large home and large fenced in yard and a beautiful neighborhood for walks! All pups must be up to date with vet care and free of fleas/ticks for their stay with us 💕 I have been working remotely for the past 8 years. I am home all day during the week with a few scheduled outings some weekends for church and other planned events. Typically only take 1 additional dog at a time unless they come from the same home. Will make accommodations for my regular customers if dog behaviors align. I have a 7 yr old bully breed who has shared his home multiple times with fosters and family dogs.
“Susan and Steve couldn’t have given us and our dog a better day care experience. He can be anxious and they both took time to make sure he was comfortable during pick up and drop off. Plus great updates and photos in between showed he was having fun! Will definitely rebook in the future!”

Julie was available to help when we were in dire need! When we got to her house, I was immediately at ease and knew that Elmo would be in good hands. Elmo had a quiet day and we had a great day at Disney. We got regular updates throughout the day which made us more at ease. We will definitely consider her as first option in future trips to Orlando.
If you are looking for a pet sitter who will treat your pet like her own, it would be Grace. I cannot speak highly enough about Grace and her wonderful family watching my pup. We recently adopted lab puppy who needs a lot of attention. Without hesitation, Grace accepted my last minute requests for day camp at her home. Her communication was amazing. I received so many pictures and updates throughout the day. My pup is only 3 months old and can still get into trouble. They have created a very safe environment for her and gave her plenty of mental and physical stimulation to keep her happy and busy. She loved going for walks, playing in the backyard and even got to have water day which was perfect on a hot day. If you are looking for the perfect pet sitter, look no further.
A few reasons why we would recommend Caroline as a sitter: - phenomenal communication before booking as well as during the stay - many photos/videos received throughout the day - flexibility with drop off and pickup times - major plus that Sailor made friends with her doggos and they had a great time playing We are so thankful for Caroline for opening up her home to our pup for the day!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Oakland on Rover is $44.4 per day (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Oakland commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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 FL 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.
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 2,199 sitters in Oakland, 87% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
