Katelynn did such a great job of keeping my dog for a week. He is getting older and requires special food and medicine and she handled it with ease and understanding. I received daily updates and pictures the entire week also, which eased my worry on being away. Highly recommend Katelynn to watch your beloved pet!

We left our dog with William for five nights while we were out of town. We got updates with pictures each day and I feel that William took great care of her. I will definitely use William again.

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.

This was my first long trip away from my dog, Beetle, and Linda made it easy to be away without worry. She was responsive and communicative from start to finish, and sent excellent photos and updates throughout the days. She allowed us to meet up before the trip so that Beetle could be familiar with Linda and with the surroundings, which definitely helped put myself and Beetle at ease. Beetle came back relaxed and happy after his almost-week "vacation camp" at Linda's.

Had my doubts about how Boomer would do with his high energy antics, but Natalie seemed to do a great job at giving him the exercise that he needed. Would highly recommend her to watch your dog.

Rebecca was fabulous! Agreed to dog sit for us at the very last minute when our booked dog sitter forgot and wasn’t home. Took such good care of our girl Lily. Gave her constant attention. Even took her shopping to Lowe’s. She had toys and other friendly dogs for Lily to play with. Lily was a happy and tired dog at the end of the day. Meanwhile, we were able to explore caves and have lunch and dinner without worrying about Lily. Even got pictures periodically and a cute video. Would definitely use Rebecca again!

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.

Ashley is great. I’m a proudly overly-protective puppy-parent and hardly ever trust my dogs with anyone. My buddy is a large, in-tact, German Shepherd. Ashley took great care of him. I will definitely book her in the future. Highly recommend. - Retired Army

Oo Meh was the best sitter I have ever met. She was so kind to us and made sure that we were comfortable with her abilities. She took great care of our two cats during our anniversary vacation. Every day she sent updates as requested and made sure they were well taken care of. My cats were even upset leaving her presence, thats how I know she poured in great care and effort into our kids. If you book with Oo Meh, just know you will be in great hands!!! We Will definitely book with her for our future planned trips!

About: Hi! My name is Kaitlin, and I’m a huge animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for pets. I’ve had dogs since I was 10 years old, and I currently have both a dog and a cat of my own who are treated like family. Because I’m a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy, attentive, and caring to look after your pets. I have experience with overnight pet sitting, dog walking, playtime, feeding routines, puppy training, and making sure pets feel comfortable and loved while their owners are away. I’m reliable, responsible, and detail-oriented, and I always make it a priority to follow each pet owner’s instructions carefully so both you and your pet feel at ease. I currently work part-time at a summer camp Monday through Friday from 9 AM–2 PM, which leaves me available for early morning, afternoon, evening, weekends, and overnight pet care. I care for every pet as if they were my own by making sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. For dog walks and drop-in visits, I make sure pets get exercise, attention, fresh water, and plenty of playtime and affection. For overnight, I follow the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, and medications if needed.

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.

Mckinze has earned my business for every time I’m in the area and need a sitter. She and her partner Jaycob made our GSP feel right at home while we were gone for the week. Our pup has lots of energy to play and is a very loving dog who wants to cuddle at the end of the day, & I received countless photos of them letting our boy run and exercise and play and then photos in the evening of him knocked out cuddled up with them, just the way I hoped they’d treat him, like their own. Our pup only lays out on his back w/ belly up when he’s very comfortable with people and his surroundings, so that photo made my heart happy. Our pup came home looking like he’d eaten plenty (he doesn’t eat when stressed), like he’d played hard, and acted like his usual happy go lucky self, worlds better from other boarding experiences we’ve had. True animal loving people with a fun dog for yours to play with in a nice tall fenced in backyard to play and a loving cuddle at the end of the day. Thank you all so much!!!

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 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 very easy to work with! I have never had Lucky boarded before and so was unsure of how he would do. I left him with her for four days. Brooke sent photos and updates on him each day and made me feel at ease on how he was doing. She said he was warming up fast which was nice to here as he tends to be shy and slow to come along. When I picked him up he was in a very positive mood and I could tell he felt comfortable. I will definitely reach out to Brooke the next time I need someone to take care of him.

FAQs for 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.
