“Our dogs, Whiskey & Star had a nice stay. Morgan, was very patient with both dogs and she kept us up to date during their visit. Morgan, also was very flexible with her schedule and kept communication open. We would definitely let our dogs board again with Morgan.”
“Highest review I can give for any sitter is that Cathy is like me.... She is a dog person. She gets dogs, she loves dogs, they are always a part of her life. When you're looking for a sitter you are looking for someone you can trust, that's Cathy.”
“Melissa and her entire family were great. Our highly energetic Australian Shepherd had a wonderful stay. Melissa sent us updates including pictures and videos. Bailey was walked and had play time with several other dogs. We had great confidence in leaving our dog with Melissa and we would highly recommend her to anyone looking for care.”

Thank you so much Michelle, you are the best!!!”
“MAISHA IS THE BEST 🥰 Her service is absolutely exceptional, and I recommend her 100% 😉. She looked after my Max for the first time; I had been searching for someone trustworthy for over three years until I found her, and we couldn't have left Max in better hands. Her professionalism and love for animals were evident from the very start—she has two pets of her own, so Max was happy hanging out with his little friends. She was incredibly attentive the whole time, keeping us updated with constant photos and messages, which gave us huge peace of mind while we were away—and that peace of mind was exactly what I was looking for. Her communication and dedication are impeccable. If you’re looking for someone completely trustworthy to care for your pet, don’t hesitate to choose her; I recommend her 100%... We will definitely be using her services again...”
About: I have years of experience with cats and dogs of all ages. I have so much love for all animals and I’m very patient in taking care and getting to know them. I’ve had many dog clients and each dog has their own personality. Each client I have, I take the time to make sure that the pet is comfortable and happy. On the days I have your pet, I will have plenty of time to take care of them for their scheduled time. I love animals and have pets myself so pet care falls naturally into my daily actives. From making time to walk, feed, and exercise with them. My top priority is to provide a safe environment for the pets that will be in my home or a clients home. Its very important for me to make sure I provide good communication with the owner. Before taking care of your pet, I like to discuss specific requirements my clients might need for their pet, such as feeding schedules. exercise routines, and any special needs. I give frequent updates and provide many pictures and if there’s anything of concern that I see while your pet is in my care I make sure to notify the owner immediately.
“Repeat stay and experience with Katherine is once again very helpful,communication is great. Provides proper care ensuring dog receives medication. Provides updates and truly cares for well-being and health of fur baby. 🤍”
“Amanda watched my dog and was amazing!! She sent lots of photos and updates which kept my mind at ease while on vacation. My dog seemed to have just as much of a vacation with Amanda as I did!”
“Rocío was great! Sent us lots of pics and kept us updated. Our dogs loved her fenced in yard and had a lot of time to play. When we picked them up it looked like they were bathed ! We will be back!”
“We had an amazing experience with Andrew. He is a very skilled dog trainer and caregiver. Our dog Vita likes to set her out rules, but Andrew managed to tame her and made her obey the rules. Besides she had a great time with other dogs while running, playing and exercising with them. We got photos and videos at our dog twice a day, which was really helpful because we missed her a lot. After three weeks our Vita returned to us trained and in a good fit and mood. Highly recommended!”
“Amazing dog sitter! She was friendly, flexible, and clearly cared about my dog's comfort the whole time. She sent photo updates throughout the stay, which I really appreciated. My dog loved her instantly and was happy and relaxed the whole time. Highly recommend — will definitely book again!”
“Odovacer stayed with Manuel for 10 days while I was on my honeymoon. This was also my first time leaving him for an extended period. I’m so happy I found Manuel. I felt at ease leaving Odovacer in his care. He sent pictures and updates while I was away, and it’s clear he has a sincere and genuine love for dogs. Not to mention, he was flexible with pickup time when our flight returned earlier than expected. I definitely recommend!”
“Tricia was absolutely wonderful with our pup, Lani! This was our first time booking with her, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She clearly has excellent knowledge when it comes to dog introductions and made sure Lani felt comfortable from the start. Her yard is fantastic, spacious, super clean, and thoughtfully designed with a shaded sand pit and a dig zone that Lani loved exploring. We also really appreciated the photo updates throughout the stay! When our flight was unexpectedly canceled, Tricia was incredibly accommodating, even on such short notice. That flexibility meant so much to us. We’re so grateful for her care and would definitely book with her again!”

This is our pup's 3rd time staying with Bayan. We are so grateful to have found her and her family! They always take such good care of our pup and always keeps us posted with pictures and videos. Their pup is also very sweet and gentle and we're so happy our pup has a playmate while he's there. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a loving and trustworthy sitter!
Deborah was a lifesaver!!! She came to the rescue last minute when our pet sitter canceled due to a family emergency less than 24 hours before our trip on Christmas!! She made drop off simple, we knew our dog would be in great hands when we saw her yard with a double gate and a large patch of grass cleared from the snow!! She kept in constant contact including pictures and videos to reassure us our dog was safe and sound!! We highly recommend for anyone needing a sitter, she’s absolutely amazing for senior dog needs!!!

There are 13,425 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Oakland. About 88% 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 NJ 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.
