“Kathleen was amazing as always! We received so many pics and videos of Archie on his many walks, eating, visiting neighbors (including his buddy Ron) and enjoying his friends Deion and Duke. We felt at ease our entire trip knowing Archie was having the best time and being well taken care of. Thank you so much for showing Archie so much love and your exceptional service.”
“Jimmy was at Richard's during the week of Christmas and seemed like he had a great time with him and his pack of dogs. Richard was kind, accommodating and sent pictures and videos regularly. His house has a huge yard for the pups to run around in. When I got back Jimmy was a happy, healthy and tired pup. Will surely recommend Richard and his pack to others looking for a safe and fun place to board their dogs.”

Oakland dog parents share their Rover experiences
Lucy & Matthew were amazing! They sent picture updates every morning and night, took my dogs on several walks a day, and were totally receptive to all my dogs quirks and craziness! Will definitely be using them in the future and highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable, loving sitter for their pups!
Liz has been a major asset to Auggie and us over the last 2 vacations. She certainly loves dogs but also understands dogs’ language beyond our expectations, while connecting and communicating with us, humans, promptly and efficiently. She sends beautiful pictures and perfectly measured daily updates of our dog’s vacation time (while we are on a different vacation). Will be so happy to have her host Auggie’s next vacation! Thank you, Liz!
I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! My dog stayed for 7 days and was treated like part of the family. Rae walked Luna regularly, went on fun outings, and even got to join in on runs—which she loved! I received great updates and photos throughout her stay, so I always knew she was happy and well cared for. It’s clear she got plenty of exercise, attention, and affection. I highly recommend and will definitely book again! Thanks again, Rae! Cheers.

Ashley was amazing with my 5-month-old puppy! My pup is more shy, timid, and anxious, so I was a little nervous about leaving her with someone new. Ashley immediately made me feel comfortable and confident that she was in great hands. She is warm, calm, and welcoming, and she took the time to make sure my puppy felt safe and happy. Ashley sent lots of updates and adorable pictures throughout the stay, which really put my mind at ease. She has a great fenced-in backyard and plenty of toys and activities to keep dogs entertained. My puppy clearly enjoyed her time there and came home happy and relaxed. Ashley is professional, kind, and truly cares about the dogs she watches. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone and will definitely be booking with her again!
Abby and Jason were incredible with our five month old puppy. We were anxious about leaving her for the first time, let alone for a whole week, and we were at ease as soon as we met them and Wall-E. Prior to booking they were communicative and that continued through the stay with daily updates. As soon as I picked her up I could tell she had a great week. As I am writing this she is taking a nap and we have already requested a stay for our next trip!
breanna did a great job of looking after our 7 year old dog. she treated her like she was her own. i felt so comfortable leaving her with breanna - she kept us updated with pictures and updates every day. i would absolutely book with her again for our next trip out of town.
Alexis was very customer oriented keeping in contact with the dog owner to ensure her comfortability! She sent photos via text causing me to relax and glean much from my meetings! I will most definitely use her again the next time I am in town and in need of a dog sitter! Well worth the money spent!!!!
