“Derek was great and able to take Marshall at the last minute. He took great care of our pet and provided updates throughout the day. Very communicative and reliable. I would recommend Derek to anyone looking to board a dog.”
“Wade and Merry have been my puppy’s sitters for a while now. But this week was the first time I used their overnight service. They did an amazing job. I was sent pictures. Their responses to any questions was fast. My puppy always got excited at drop off and that put my mind at ease. If you need a sitter, definitely give them a try.”
“Shelby & Spencer are so kind! Charlee had the best time! I couldn't be happier with the care she received. She came home totally exhausted and so happy — which tells me she got plenty of playtime, love, and attention. I’ll definitely use them again💙!”
“Thank you so much Bethanie for taking care of our Mowgli while we were out of town! Bethanie kept us updated with pictures and our pup looked so happy! When we picked him up he did the doggy lean (dog version of a hug) as if you say Thank you to her! We are so glad we found someone to take care of Mowgli while we are out of town :)!”
“Thank you Chryschel for taking such great care of our Scrappy. The regular pics and video updates really helped to ease our minds while we were on our trip. We felt so comfortable leaving him with Chryschel. We are definitely going to book for our next trip”
“Another amazing stay for out dog with Melissa and Dustin. Melissa takes great care of him and provides us with daily updates. Thank you so much for taking such great care of him.”
“Brett and Stephanie took exceptional care of my two dogs while we were on vacation. Since this was our first time using them, they meet us and our dogs days before to ensure we were comfortable in selecting them. Exceptional communication from the moment I reached out, until after the end of our dogs’ stay in their home. Pics and videos sent throughout each day. They offered the use of their kennel for our puppy so I didn’t have to load up and bring our own. They had toys for our dogs to play with on top of the personal ones we brought. My mind was at ease during our entire vacation, and I have to admit they seemed reluctant to leave when I came to pick them up and take them home!!! Will be using Brett and Stephanie from this point forward! And I know my dogs will look forward to visiting them again soon.”
“I’ve never left my dog before so I was a little anxious, but he took such good care of her and even sent me updates with pictures which helped put me at ease while I was on leave”
“I was a little skeptical at first due to this being our first time leaving Boba with someone. I felt better after Nadia sent a pic of her laying in the floor playing. Definitely would recommend.”
“Todd and Gail are repeat sitters for us. Our girl loves them, and they love her! It’s so nice knowing she has a welcoming home to stay in while we’re out of town. From morning walks to afternoon naps, they keep our pup happy. Couldn’t recommend them enough.”
“Shanina takes such good care of Zelda while I am away- once again she came back to me happy and well taken care of. Thank you so much!! We will see you again soon! 🫶🏼”
“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.”
“We recently boarded our two dogs, Sushi and Trixie, with Grayson for 10 days, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. From the very beginning, Grayson was sincere, friendly, and incredibly easy to communicate with. It gave us great peace of mind knowing our dogs were in good hands. Throughout their stay, Grayson sent us regular updates and adorable pictures, which truly reassured us. Sushi and Trixie looked happy, relaxed, and well cared for every time. When we picked them up, they were calm and content, which says a lot about the care and attention they received. We’re so grateful to have found someone as reliable and kind as Grayson. We’ll definitely be using his services again the next time we’re out of town, and we highly recommend him to anyone looking for trustworthy and loving dog care!”

There are 283 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Oakland. About 94% 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.

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 TN 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.
