“Arryonna was absolutely amazing!! She took great care of our wild puppy for a whole weekend. She updated me daily with pics & videos. We met ahead of time to be sure everything felt comfortable when introducing our pup to her own animals. I can’t say enough good things about our experience”
“My dog was so chill when I came to pick her up. She didn't want to leave. I have never seen her so content with someone else. I trust Astrid and her family and thank them from the bottom of my heart for such a good stay. It makes me so comfortable to know my baby is safe with them.”
“I felt very comfortable, leaving our little dog with Angelica. The moment we met, I could tell she has compassion and nurturing ways. . Throughout the day, I received photos and saw that our Max was happy and content. I’m so glad I found a person who will love and care for our dog when we need help.”
“Megan and Jenny were amazing! They watched our dog, Beni, while we were out of the country for over two weeks for vacation and sent us daily, adorable, photo updates of him relaxing and playing with the other dogs that overlapped with his stay. He came back happy and healthy and seemed to have the best time. We were joking that he got to go on a vacation too! Will definitely book them to watch Beni again.”
“Chad communicated frequently (but not too much :)) during our dog's stay. He provided several pictures which was also nice! Our boy is an anxious boy & Chad & his family were very patient with him! I am SO glad we chose to use Rover (and chose Chad) over boarding him at a boarding facility. We will definitely send Malone back to hang out with Chad!”
“Chawntea is amazing! Bear was well taken care of and she sent many pictures and videos of him so I could see how much fun he was having. Definitely recommend!”
“Kennia took great care of our Hachi and Petunia while we were on a work trip. Hachi recently healed from eye surgery and she followed his eye medication schedule without issue (in fact she had prior experience with the same eye ointment he uses). We loved all the photos and videos she sent us and appreciated the updates throughout the day. We could tell our pups were in good hands and were enjoying their time with her. She even gave them a little doggy bag with some treats and toys, which we thought was super kind and thoughtful! Will book again and highly recommend!”
“I received a lot of communication, videos and pictures from Jonathan. It was clear that our Minnie was being taken good care of and having a good time. This made us feel so happy that we can go out of town and leave her in good hands!”
“We were looking for a new sitter because our usual sitter was unavailable for an upcoming trip. At the meet and greet with Robin, we were worried when Shamu barked every time she got up and walked around. It always takes time for our cautious dog to warm up to new people. Robin suggested that Shamu stay with her to make certain that they would get along. Wow, we were surprised by the glowing reports and Robin told us that Shamu was a gentleman! Robin and Daniel's loving ways won over our little dog. We are looking forward to using them again.”
“Tracey was super communicative and cared for Leo well. She has a great set up and nice neighborhood for dogs, and her 2 boxer buddies were so friendly. Would definitely book again!”
“We felt very confident in leaving our pooch with Meghan, and he was happy and relaxed when we picked him up. She kept us updated with a photo every now and again, and he clearly felt at home. ”
“Erika is an exceptional doggie sitter! My four-legged baby, Nova, is a lively and energetic puppy—full of joy, love, and a whole lot of personality. She can definitely be a handful at times, but Erika handles her with such calm, patient energy that it’s truly impressive. Nova absolutely adores spending time with her and loves being part of the pack. The daily updates and delightful stories Erika shares are a highlight of my day and always bring a smile to my face. Knowing that Nova is in such caring and capable hands gives me complete peace of mind. Erika is truly wonderful!”
“Donut had a great time with Suzanne. She played with her new canine friends and enjoyed the sunshine in Suzanne beautiful yard/gardens. Suzanne cared for her beautifully. Our dog came home calm and content. I've already booked another dog stay with Suzanne!”
“Outstanding Dog Sitting Service by Sare! If I could give Sare 10 stars, I would. I needed a dog sitter for a week while I was away for work, and I was nervous about leaving Cosmo with someone new. However, Sare exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I dropped Cosmo off, Sare put my mind at ease. She not only took excellent care of Cosmo but went above and beyond. She even took him on daily hikes on our favorite trail, something I never expected anyone else to do. The videos and photos she sent me daily made it clear that Cosmo was in great hands and truly enjoying his time. Cosmo bonded with Sare’s dog, Leia, and it was clear they had built a trusting relationship. This was Cosmo’s first time with a dog sitter, and Sare made it a positive experience. Unlike the impersonal dog boarding facilities, Sare provided Cosmo with the quality care and attention he needed. I’m incredibly fortunate to have found Sare, and I highly recommend her to anyone in need of a dog sitter. Thanks to her, I was able to focus on my work with complete peace of mind. I will definitely reach out to her again!”
“Mary was an absolute lifesaver!! We left our 13-year old cat, Riyaan, with another sitter while on vacation abroad only to have her cancel on us the day after we left the country. I found Mary and she instantly responded to my urgent request for a last-minute sitter. We cannot describe how grateful we are to her and her husband for the care they showed towards Riyaan. Their separate “cat room” was perfect for our kitty and they went the extra mile to make her feel loved and welcome. Mary even identified an acne flare up our cat was experiencing due to stress and followed the treatment plan I provided — doing warm compresses twice a day every day. She also provided daily photos and updates so we knew how Riyaan was doing the whole time. Our cat came home happy and well adjusted. We would not hesitate a minute before booking Mary again! Thanks so much for everything you did for Riyaan!”
“Cindy is the absolute best!!! This was my first time using Rover or leaving my dogs with anyone other than friends/family for that matter, but Cindy’s care and attention to my dogs made my experience everything I could ask for and more!!! Cindy and her family’s care for my dogs was next to none and I was updated on their status every step of the way multiple times a day!!! It was like my dogs got their own vacation as well while in Cindy’s care…I’m not really even sure they actually wanted to come back home with me when my trip was over lol!!! If ur looking for the perfect dog sitter then look no further and don’t hesitate to book as your dogs will be in the best hands with Cindy and her family!!! Cindy, I truly can’t thank you enough for caring for my fur babies!!! We will definitely be booking with you again soon as I’m sure my dogs are ready for another vacation lol!!! 🐶❤️🐶”

Pearl and Jason are the best. Couldn't have been happier with the way this sit went. It was our first time dropping Lou off at a sitter's house (we usually have sitters stay at ours) so we were a bit nervous. We were reassured right away and got lots of pics and videos of Lou having the time of her life playing at the park and hanging out with her new buddies Ryu and Chewie. When we came to pick her up she was tired and happy, and also clearly sad to leave - she kept looking back at Pearl and Jason lol Thank you for taking amazing care of our girl. She's counting down the days until next time! Highly recommend!
Angelica was amazing with our boy Royce! She sent detailed updates and multiple pictures every week. Royce got to make a new doggy friend and played with him so much. He looked so happy and comfortable with Angelica. She took him on multiple walks throughout his stay and provided toys! Thank you for treating our baby like your own!
Izabella is the best, and she has a beautiful family. Her personal dogs are very well taken care of. Short trip for us, and her family dealt with my dog's needs the best. Olive came home and greeted us and went straight to sleep for the remainder of the day. Highly recommend and will be back for our next boarding need. Thanks Izabella and family
You will never find a better, more caring, more responsible pet sitter than Charlene. She truly is the best. Great with all ages of animals as well as animals with infirmities and/or on meds. My dog is a rescue and has PTSD. She trusted Charlene from the day they met, which is truly rare. Charlene is Scruffy's "Doggy Summer Camp" whenever I can't be around to take care of her, and she loves it. If you truly adore your pets as much as I do (i.e., Scruffy is the closest thing to a child I will ever have), you can rest assured you made the right decision leaving them with Charlene.
Julia is amazing. Oakley takes some time to warm up to people and she created a plan to help make him feel more comfortable. He relaxed with her and seemed so comfortable. Julia provided updates on how he was doing which helped ease my anxiety as well. She spent so much time with him and provided training. When I picked him up she spent the time to share what she was working on and ways I can continue to support him with obedience training as well. Looking forward to using her for my upcoming vacation. It’s nice to feel at ease on a vacation knowing your fur baby is well taken care of.
Astrid was a lifesaver! The dog sitter for my active Aussie Shepard/pitbull mix had a medical emergency and she agreed to watch my Lola on a week’s notice. Lola can be a handful (she is very hyper until she gets used to people and is reactive towards other dogs) but Astrid and her family were so sweet and patient to Lola that she settled in quickly. Astrid provided updates regularly which reassured Lola was well loved. Will definitely hire Astrid again to dog sit Lola since Lola had such a great time!
OMG, I cant say enough about Yorleth!! She was the Best! She took Hefner to the marina and sent pix, he looked so happy having fun :) I will definitely re book with Yorleth-She is a true doggie lover. I always get good sitters with Rover, but, Yorleth was by FAR the Best and My Favorite!!!
This was our first time using Rover, and wow did Anna & Jason set a high bar. We had a great meet & greet beforehand, and while we were away they sent updates and photos of Momo settling right in and having a great time. They were so responsive and communicative throughout the booking and the stay- we had complete peace of mind that she was in great hands. Can’t recommend them highly enough!
This is my fourth time boarding with Rosa and I can’t thank her enough. I’m usually gone for two weeks and dread leaving them but it was great to see them recognize her and her family this time. Rosa took amazing care of them especially my extremely picky old dog, Bambi. Thank you for keeping them happy and comfortable.

FAQs for Dog Boarding - San Leandro
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in San Leandro on Rover is $47.73 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 6,822 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across San Leandro. 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.
92% of San Leandro 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 San Leandro 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 San Leandro 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 San Leandro.
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 San Leandro 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 CA 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.
