“Polly loves being there. She pouts when she returns because she is so spoiled and has fun with her playmates. She loves her shower and brushing too!! The videos and pics are adorable. You can feel good about your pup being safe and loved.”
“I am so grateful to have found Chris and Tommie to care for and play with my shih tzu and corgi. My pups have a blast there and come home looking fit and well cared for. What makes this home special is the playtime with both other dogs and with the owners who treat them like family.”
“Ruby was absolutely amazing!! She sent tons of photos and videos and my doodles just loved her! I have a hard time leaving my boys with anyone but Ruby made sure she communicated with me throughout the stay and was so reassuring anytime I texted her! She really eased all my worries and made sure my boys were well loved on. I could tell they were being treated like family at her home. I will definitely be using her again and would 100% recommend her to everyone who needs a loving and caring sitter for their pets!”

“Janet was exactly who we needed for our anxious rescue Taylor! She text pics to show us how relaxed Taylor was in her home! We know her “looks” and she was happy there! Janet also helped Taylor get past other dogs aggression and she was able to play! Thank you Janet, Taylor enjoyed her sleepover ☺️”
“Boarded my puppy for over a week with Rebecca. She was great with communication and sent me photo updates every day. My dog seemed to have a great time there.”

“Mengqi has boarded my dog Donny many times since I’ve moved to Memphis in 2023 and she has been wonderful! She sends photo updates and my dog loves her dog. He gets really excited everytime we pull up for boarding. She was able to accept my request for Thanksgiving last minute this as well which I was grateful for. I would recommend her as a pet sitter!”
“All I can say is “AWESOME”. Madeline took great care of my 2 high maintenance pups for 5 nights. This is my first experience using a sitter and she set the standard high.”
“Nicole was absolutely wonderful with Atlas! She was incredibly caring and attentive to his needs, and I loved that she sent me updates throughout his stay. It made such a difference being able to see him happy and settled, giving me 100% confident that he was in great hands and being well taken care of the entire time! 🤍 Would recommend and book again.”
About: I have always loved animals and understand the importance of compassion, responsibility and trust when caring for pets. I volunteered for 10 years fostering lost and or abandoned pets. Fostering gave me valuable experience of understanding routines, medication instructions, providing companionship and attention to help pets feel comfortable and secure. I take pride in being responsible and trustworthy. Pets are safe, cared for and treated like family. Available full time! Retired, no children. Neighborhood park within walking distance. Feeding schedules and medication instructions followed. Photos of your pet provided during your absence. Fenced yard. Child free home. Crate provided if needed. Retired, now spending the next chapter of my life doing something I truly enjoy and feel passionate about-caring for animals.
“She Took excellent care of our boy and was super responsive especially to our last minute request and sent pictures of him through the weekend. We will definitely be repeat clients our boy loved being with her!”
“Rashad was great! My cat Mao had a great time getting all the cuddles he could while I was away, and Rashad was super patient and accommodating when I had to extend Mao’s stay by a day and a half due to unforeseen travel complications. This was a great boarding experience and I would absolutely book again. 10/10”
About: MEMPHIS TN I have many years of pet caring experience, As an 18 year old college student I want to be my skills and abilities to use and help my community! This is great for my future career and I believe it will continue to broaden my abilities and grow the narrow parts of my mind! I live on a ranch with 3 donkeys, 2 dogs, and 13 chickens! I absolutely adore them and I would do anything to see my animals flourish and for me the biggest thing with Dog sitting is trust, I believe that animals were put here to be the best friend you will only ever experience once. I also have had many years of experience with puppy handling, I understand the dedication it takes to raise wonderful babies! I’m here to help! Memphis TN :) Pet care will be based upon my availability as a student athlete I have a lot of obligations/ responsibilities, and a young adult, but for my major this will definitely be a good help and jump start. I am as flexible as possible! I am an extremely trust oriented person. I want the relationship with my clients to be as organic and positive as possible. I do have PUPPY handling skills as I have many pets!, I am very open to strict instructions and I want to be able to provide the best experience as possible! I try to communicate as much as possible and be courteous to your time!!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Oakland on Rover is $54.39 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 273 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Oakland. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover 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.
100% of Oakland sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Oakland 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 TN 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.
