“Jesse was absolutely fantastic with our dog, Bella. He was incredibly kind, attentive, and clearly cares deeply about the pets he looks after. While we were away, he sent regular updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. We recently moved to the area and had to board Bella a few times before finding Jesse—and those experiences were stressful for both her and for us. This was completely different. Bella was happy, relaxed, and so well cared for in his home. It made such a difference knowing she was in such great hands. We’re so grateful to have found Jesse and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate sitter.”

“As soon as Erin called out our black lab Maggie’s name, Maggie was sold. Erin was great about sending updates about Maggie while we were traveling. Her place is quiet and she has different areas so she can give your dog their own “wing.” We’d definitely go back.”

“It is my puppy's first time away from home and we were really anxious about leaving him, but Cale made it such a wonderful experience for my pup as well as for us. He sent us photos and videos of my puppy playing with his dog. The joy in his face is priceless. My dog is a little aloof with strangers but Cale definitely won his heart and cuddled with him in no time! We highly recommend him and will definitely trust our pup's care to him again if there's a second time. My husband says he's the coolest guy ever.”

“We are so lucky to have found Roxanne and Nathan! They took such great care of our high-energy dogs! Received daily updates, pictures and videos. I cannot recommend Roxanne and Nathan enough.”


“Jerrie is the best!! She is loving and kind. She maintains communication with text messages and photos of the dog while in her care. Our dog, Hazel, loves to be with her and enjoys the atmosphere. We felt at peace while on vacation knowing Jerrie was caring for Hazel as if her own.”

“Kaylee is awesome. She is super reliable, and obviously loves taking care of pets. I love how she sends pictures and takes the extra time to show them some love when their owners are out of town, and her rates are very affordable. I highly recommend her.”

“Desiree and her family provided great care for our 2 year old Havapoo during a week stay. She got lots of playtime in the fenced back yard with other dogs and plenty of cuddles. We appreciated daily pictures and videos during her stay. She often won’t eat when apart from us, but she did for Desiree. We would definitely book with Desiree again.”

“David was great with my emotionally needy pup and clearly understood dog dynamics. Seeing Delta and another dog snuggle up together was not something I had expected to see pictures of, but she seemed to do well when left with a stranger for a week.”

“Shogun had a great time staying with Bailey and Kyle. It's the perfect environment. They have a great setup and they treat your dog as if they are one of the family. We plan on using them for all our dog needs.”

“My dogs ALWAYS enjoy staying with John. My smaller couch potato dog loves his calm household with granddaughter visits. His large, fenced backyard and lots of outdoor time chasing the ball and squirrels accommodates my larger more energetic dog. I’m a repeat client and will definitely board with John again!”

“AMAZING CARE!! I am beyond satisfied with the service provided by this beautiful couple, my puppy Zara was taken care of! I was nervous as this is the first time I’ve done doggy care but I’m extremely happy with overall care and experience with James!”


“Highly recommend. They have a beautiful home with a nice, spacious backyard. Marianne and Josh are kind and have a lot of experience with dogs. With two sweet dogs of their own, my dog had built in companions while I was away. They are warm, welcoming, and sent lots of cute/funny pics & updates. Your dogs will be loved open arms. So grateful my dog could spend the holiday with such a thoughtful, warm, and fun family! Thank you so much for loving Chai!”
“Our pup had a fantastic time with Christianna! She took wonderful care of our dog. A trip to the lake with her family, walks and lots of play time with her two dogs - even allowed on the furniture 😊. I really appreciated the pics and texts reassuring me. I absolutely would use and recommend Christianna to anyone needing a dog sitter.”

“Kristin was great! She sent me pics of my dog everyday and kept me updated with everything. I can tell that she took great care of my dog because she was so happy when I picked her up. Definitely want to book again :) thank you again, Kristin!”

“Frances is great. Our pups Scarlett & Rhett love going on vacation there. They have a great time. Usually, they’ll go into the yard and off they go..it’s playtime. Frances is great at sending pictures, while we’re away. I rest easy knowing they’re with her when we’re out of town..”

“Sarah was a Rockstar with my puppy Beau. She went above and beyond to try different training techniques to prevent him from pulling and getting distracted during walks. She sent me detailed instructions on things that worked and didn't. I would highly recommend her fur baby care to anyone.”

“I have gone with Jeremy twice now and have appreciated his professionalism and care for our dog! He is quick to send photos and communicate, which was nice to see. Koko seemed to enjoy her stays there and be with other dogs. Can’t go wrong with Jeremy as your sitter!”

Oakland dog parents share their Rover experiences
Great Dog Sitters and genuinely nice people to deal with. Obviously hey are both dog lovers and outdoor people with a nice home and yard for the dogs. Their dog was well behaved and seemed to enjoy having some company. My dog had fun and was very tired so know he had a blast. Booked a 2 week stay after our initial try out. Glad to have found them on Rover. Highly recommend.
Cambria has been taking care of our big pup for years now. He loves staying with her and her family. He always has a great time and gets plenty of attention! Cambria regularly sends pics of their many adventures and all the friends he’s made. She is also great about scheduling pickup and drop off. It really has been a huge blessing to have Cambria as a second home for our pup.
