“Olivia did a phenomenal job! My father-in-law's 9 year old dog GiGi has never stayed anywhere other than with him, so he was very apprehensive. Olivia sent pictures every day, took care of GiGi's medicine, walked her regularly, and did a great job. We would highly recommend Olivia, and will plan on using her again when needed.”

“Rebecca was an incredible cat sitter for our little guy, Harry Nudini, while we visited Mammoth Cave. She went above and beyond to make him feel comfortable and engaged during his stay on her family farm. Harry had the time of his life meeting goats, a pig, playful puppies, and even a lovely rabbit. It’s clear that Rebecca truly cares about the animals she looks after, giving them not just attention but an experience filled with curiosity and joy. We felt completely at ease knowing Harry was in such kind and capable hands. Highly recommend Rebecca to anyone looking for someone who treats your pets like family.”

“Ashley and Micheal were exceptional. We felt our dog Jaxx was really cared for in ways we would care for him. We really appreciated their obvious love of dogs and understanding how a pet owner might feel being away from their favorite fur family. Ashley sent updates on Jaxx's day along with pictures. And was always available to answer any questions if needed. We will use their services in a heartbeat moving forward. Trust is huge in regard to our pet and they really held our pet with integrity and care. Thank you Ashley and Micheal!! Jaxx will see you again soon! Kili and Robert Marti”

About: Loving and caring for pets has been a part of my entire life. At a young age I started caring for my neighbor's pets while they were gone, helping lost dogs find their way back home, and training my own dogs. I started volunteering at my local shelter with basic care and also taking dogs off site for some fun outside of the shelter setting- walking, rollerblading for more active dogs, or just hanging out in the yard and working on training commands. I do it all for the love of pets! I currently make my own schedule with the school district working with special needs students, so I have a pretty flexible schedule aside from school drop off and pick up for my children. I'm also available weekends and evenings. Going for the day to Mammoth National Park? Don’t want to leave your pet alone in a rental or hotel? Perfect! I’m on right on your way! Let me keep your pet company and safe while you enjoy all things Mammoth! I have a fenced (4.5’), grassy yard with elevated and covered porch. I do have my own pets so their safety and your pup's safety is of the most importance to me. My pups do not have free range of my home. With a spare room and tall gates I am able to keep separation if desired. I am also able to crate your pup if requested.

“Greatest dog sitter ever! Ashley was able to accommodate our dog last minute for the Thanksgiving holiday. Our dog had such a good time playing with her dogs and children that he was exhausted by the end of his stay. Her fenced in backyard is quite large, so my dog had plenty of exercise. So glad we found her! She was a blessing for our family!”

“Kaitlin is a wonderful fur baby carer. She stepped & helped us in a last minute need we had. She had us over for a meet & greet so our pup could get used to her new surroundings. Our little girl ran back in the next day & was very relaxed there. Kaitlin sent photos & updates to make us at ease. She even had roommates who loved on her. I’d highly recommend Kaitlin.”

About: I grew up with animals and wanted to be a vet or caregiver. I have done Therapy Dog programs with Hospice and inbound elderly to bring the love of animals to brighten their day. I have adopted several adult rescue dogs, including Whippet and Greyhound breeds. As a child, I always had cats, including DSH and later Siamese breed. I support Adoption rescue and spay/neuter. I grew up on a small farm with cows, rabbits, and many visitors! I work remote from home weekdays and have a flexible schedule with more open availability on weekends. Conveniently located near Basil Griffin Park and Three Springs Roads. I have a 8 foot fenced yard, and have 2 fur babies (Shih-Tzu) that are very friendly. I live in a small residential community with various cul-de-sac streets safe for walking. I enjoy exercise and walking so incorporating dogs into that routine is fun and relaxing!

About: I have a black lab named Xara who is 12 years old. I've dog sat for many people over the years. I love taking care of animals and just enjoying time with them. I know how hard it is to find someone who can take care of my animal when I need to go out of town or on a short trip. I'd love to be a helping hand I work part time only in the mornings and am home for the remainder of the day. I love outside play and sun bathing. At least my pup does. I offer frequent potty breaks, make sure water is always available and playtime is a must. I will love your pet as my own and hope you will give me the privilege of caring for them. Thank you for your consideration.

About: I have taken care have so many dogs and ages since I was 10. My parents have always had 2 or 3 dogs and neighbors and other family members as well. I would love to just walk them around for hours on end and play with them. I have a lot of flexibility in my day. I’m a part-time job That’s also very flexible towards the end of the week and weekends works best because it gives me even more time to play with your fur babies. I have a backyard and lots of different walking areas to take your fur babies. I also have one dog as well that loves others . But she isn’t home all the time some weekends she’s gone.

“Brooke was amazing, I had some concerns with never leaving my babies with anyone other than a family member, she went above and beyond with easing my nerves. I never once had to reach out to get an update or pictures of them. She beat me to it every time. I believe my pets were treated as if they were her own. If ever needing boarding again, she will be my first choice. Highly recommend her.”

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Oakland

Frequently asked questions about Rover

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

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 68 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Oakland. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Every sitter has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.

Sitters may also include daily walks in the neighborhood during your dog's boarding stay. You can also request photo and message updates throughout so you can see which local landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.

If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Oakland home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:

  • Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
  • Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
  • Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Oakland.

Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.

You and your Oakland sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.

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.

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 KY 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.

If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.

For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.

Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
