“I was so happy to find such a wonderful family to take care of my furbaby. I was able to enjoy myself knowing he was in great hands. They did a great job of sending pics to let me know my baby was happy!”
“Our first time using Kayla and she was a great sitter for our Neo. He looked so happy and comfortable in the pictures/updates! Would definitely use her again. Thank you for taking care of our baby”
“Excellent service. She’s a dog person and you can tell she does it from a place of love, not money. I felt comfortable and safe leaving my dog with her. She provided daily updates as well.”
“Margarita was very good. Our main ask was to receive as many pictures of our dog as possible and they did exactly that. Our dog returned clean and had a happy demeanor throughout his stay. We recommend this sitter.”
“Jill is the BEST!!! I had never used Rover before and she made it extremely easy. She was fast to answer, friendly and professional when I dropped my dog off and sent daily updates. She was flexible with drop off time and an unknown pickup time. I wouldn’t hesitate to use her again and would highly recommend her.”
“Wannena took great care of our Millie. It was our first time leaving her with someone else but we got pictures and updates several times a day. We felt connected and like our Millie was with us while we were traveling and we thank Wannena for that. Highly recommended!”
“Breatice took care of our Chanel for 3 nights, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. She was incredibly attentive and made sure Chanel felt right at home. Beatrice understanding of Portuguese made communication so much easier for us, and it was a huge plus. I highly recommend her, especially for Brazilian pet parents. Thank you Beatrice.”
“Roseli has become our got to sitter and also part of our little family! As alway she was amazing in keeping us updated and sending pictures/videos. She is just amazing!”
“Amazing experience! Communication was outstanding from start to finish. I received frequent updates, photos, and videos, which made being away from my dogs so much easier and gave me complete peace of mind. Each of my two dogs received individualized attention and loving care, and I could tell they were genuinely happy, comfortable, and well cared for throughout their stay. By the end of their visit, it was obvious that Katie had taken the time to truly learn their unique personalities and preferences, allowing her to better meet their needs for future stays. I highly recommend Katie to anyone looking for trustworthy, compassionate, and attentive dog boarding. Knowing my dogs are in such caring hands is priceless!”
“Jadoo and Leela had such a fantastic time during their stay with Rennan! This was our second time booking with him and he truly is the best when it comes to response time and sending updates about the pups. Every morning we get an update with pictures and any question is answered in less than 5 min 99% of the time! We can’t wait to book with him again in the future!”
“Kymry was fantastic! This was our second time booking with her. She is very responsive and flexible, which makes coordinating super easy. I really appreciated the updates and pictures she sent throughout the day. It’s a relief knowing Mona’s having a great time with her furiends 😊🙏”
“Jonathon and Aimee were simply amazing! They were so accommodating, kind, and enthusiastic! Our dog was spoiled and treated like royalty. We can't wait to use them again!”
“Reakha and her daughter were WONDERFUL dog sitters! VERY quick response to my last minute request. A BEAUTIFUL, comfortable home and yard with a high fence. They have 2 very FRIENDLY dogs that ours enjoyed being around. We got multiple pics of our pup looking very HAPPY and relaxed. I care about my dog so much and I felt completely at ease and confident with them. Would HIGHLY recommend for dog sitter services in the Orlando area. Worth the commute no matter where you’re at!”

John was absolutely amazing with our dogs, Bleu and Simon! Bleu is our 80 lbs, 6 year old rescue mix and Simon is our energetic 1 year old Italian Greyhound, and John was incredibly patient, attentive, and loving with both of them. One of the things we appreciated most was how welcoming his entire family was. His three kids were so sweet with our dogs, and it was obvious that Bleu and Simon had an incredible time playing with them. It truly felt like they were part of the family instead of just being boarded. Throughout the weekend, John kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that our pups were getting plenty of attention, exercise, affection, and love. We couldn’t have asked for a better Rover sitter. If you’re looking for someone who will genuinely care for your pets like they’re his own, John is the one. We will absolutely be booking with him again the next time we need someone to watch Bleu and Simon. Thank you, John, for taking such great care of our babies!
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!

The average cost for Pet Boarding in Oakland on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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.
