“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!”
“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.”
“Sally had a good time at her first stay with Rebecca and Stephen. We received daily photos and/or videos and will use them again in the future.”

“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.”
“Mengqi is the best pupsitter!!! Our dog Neo had great time there! Mengqi is very sweet and can fit all Neo needs. She sent daily update pictures and videos, and Neo was kept busy with play and exercise, and was never left alone. Mengqi’s dog Oreo was also super sweet, and even though our Neo is shy, Oreo was a great friend and gave him space. I highly recommend Mengqi to take care of your pup- you will not regret it!”
“We couldn’t have been happier to find Amy and her family to watch Otto while we were away. Amy welcomed Otto into her family like he was their own. She sent daily pictures of Otto while they included him in their daily activities. I knew Otto was being cared for and loved while we were gone. I was almost worried he wouldn’t want to come back home!”
“I am blown away by the level of attentiveness, communication and professionalism Titeara has shown in caring for Ciara. We booked last minute and Titeara was very accommodating and welcoming. We received 10+ pictures every other hour and regular detailed updates of Cici’s activities, treats, stools, sleep patterns everything. Cici was smiling in every pic, I’m scared she won’t want to come home! 100/10 would recommend, and 100/10 will rebook. Thanks Titeara!”

“We feel very fortunate to have found Letty! She took the time to show me her huge yard and explain her caregiving before we committed. Very warm and friendly! I was confident that they were going to receive excellent care, and they did! Hope to use her again in the future!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Oakland
Carson did a fantastic job taking care of my little dog for the week, while we were on vacation. I received daily photos/videos/updates. I highly recommend her to anyone, but especially those who have dogs with separation anxiety, or anxiety around small kids or other animals. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

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.
