“Karrie did an amazing job taking care of our girl for the week we were away. Sent us updates, pics and vids of our girl having a great time with her family and pups. Would definitely use Karrie as a sitter again. Thanks again for taking great care of our girl ❤️”
“Another great experience for my fur baby. He really enjoys time with Sarah and her family. I can enjoy my vacation and not worry because he’s in great hands and she keeps in touch with photos. I highly recommend.”
“Jill was the perfect sitter for our dogs! She sent pictures daily and you could see how happy they were. Our dog Bryan is a little neurotic and you can’t get him to fake a happy demeanor. If he’s not happy you can tell. She was patient and attention to our 10 week old puppy who was not only potty training but ended up with a UTI 3 days before we were supposed to leave. Jill handled it like a champ! We have definitely found our place!”
“Helene was amazing! I am so glad to have found Helene. She took great care of Honey . Helene sent us updates and wonderful pictures. I highly recommend Helene for boarding your fur baby.”
“We were very happy to have Abby stay with Selenia when we took a week long cruise. We received great reports and pics. Will definitely use Selenia's service again! Thanks Selenia!”
“Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of my baby. Leaving her with someone new is always a bit nerve-wracking, especially since she’s a senior dog. But the updates and photos you sent made it clear that she was comfortable and happy, which means the world to me. I really appreciate how well you took care of her.”
“Jonathon & Aimee were awesome sitters for Chip. He spent the weekend with them and as we picked him up, we could tell right away that he had a great time and was really well looked after. They really cared about Chip and we’d happily recommend Jonathon & Aimee to anyone looking for dog sitting.”
“Very attentive to our dog’s need, constant pics and updates, took him to the park to burn off energy and play (which is AWESOME) , home is a pet paradise ! Dog beds everywhere! Thank you so much.”
“Rebecca is an excellent dog sitter. She faithfully walked our older dog, sent lots of pictures and took great care of him. The boarding area of her home is neat and well-organized with thoughtfully placed gates to ensure the pets are safe and well-controlled. Will use her again!”
“Kymry took amazing care of Izzie while we were out of town! We received updates and pictures every morning and she was very well cared for and loved while we were away.”
“Venessa was great with my dog, Hailey. She is very good with dogs and understands their needs. She has a very nice home with a large, fenced in yard. She was very accommodating to my schedule.”
“I booked Reakha very last minute. Reakha was very flexible and worked with my needs. I initially booked her for 2 nights but my dog seemed very happy and got along with her dogs so I extended the stay for 2 more nights. I definitely did not bring enough food for my dog, but Reakha took care of her like her own dog. My dog didn’t want to come home after the stay! I’m very satisfied and highly recommend her to anyone.”
“Viviana was wonderful! We are new to the area and I was nervous to leave Tally with someone new. Viviana seemed to truly love her pups, and Tally came home happy and tired from playing :-)”
About: Hi! I'm Cherry, an Orlando-based dog lover offering boarding and day care. Because I work from home full-time, your pup is never left alone — there's always someone here for potty breaks, play, and company throughout the day, which makes a real difference for boarding and for dogs who get anxious or need a little extra attention. I've spent years caring for my sister's small dog — daily walks, feeding, and lots of playtime — so I'm comfortable with everyone from bouncy little dogs to calm, low-key companions. I treat every dog like my own: steady routines, plenty of exercise, and a safe, relaxed space to settle in. You'll get clear communication and regular photo updates, so you always know how your dog is doing. I'm happy to start with a free meet-and-greet to make sure it's a great fit. Looking forward to meeting your furry family member! I'm available on both weekdays and weekends with advance notice. Since I work from home, I have good flexibility throughout the day for walks, drop-ins, and check-ins, and I'm happy to arrange boarding and daycare when booked ahead. I'll always do my best to accommodate your schedule — just reach out early so we can plan the details and make sure it's a great fit. I live in a quiet, non-smoking home with no children and a small fenced backyard, which makes for a calm, low-stress environment for dogs to relax in. My neighborhood is peaceful with community parks nearby and a dog park close by, so there's plenty of opportunity for safe walks and exercise.
“Lindsey was amazing with our boy Thanos. I loved the updates and photos she sent as well. He definitely looked like he was having a good time while I was on my trip! I felt relieved that he got to stay in such a loving home instead of a kennel. Definitely will book with her again.”
The median cost per night for pet boarding in Oakland is €40

Leaving your dog is always tough, but knowing Sofie was in such caring, capable hands for two days gave me complete peace of mind. John sent great updates, and treated Sofie like one of their own. Sofie came home happy and well-cared for. I’ll definitely be booking with John again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for top-notch care!"
Julie was absolutely amazing with our dogs! She went above and beyond by playing frisbee and fetch with them in her pool, taking them on multiple walks, and making sure they stayed active and happy. We loved receiving frequent photo updates and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our dogs were having the time of their lives and were treated like family. We highly recommend Julie to anyone looking for a caring, attentive, and trustworthy dog sitter. Thank you, Julie!

There are 2,655 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Oakland. About 92% of Oakland sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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 pet, 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.
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 FL ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
