“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”
“I had such a great experience boarding my dog, Skye, over Thanksgiving week. From start to finish, the care was outstanding. Skye immediately felt comfortable, and I could tell he was in good hands the entire time. I received regular updates, including photos and messages, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. The environment was clean, safe, and welcoming, and it was clear that Skye was treated like part of the family. He came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved. I highly recommend Astrid to anyone looking for reliable, caring, and attentive dog boarding. I’ll definitely book again in the future!”
“Jenny and Megan were great communicators and sent so many pictures while we were away. Athena seemed to be having the time of her life. It was such a comfort to know she was in good hands. We’ll definitely be coming back for future dog boarding:)”
“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.”
“There’s no place like home but this is the closest place to it. Wonderful, warm, loving and caring home by a wonderful, loving and caring person. And her dear sweet mother too! 5 stars all around. I had to find a sitter on extreme short notice and I was so thrilled that Chawntea was willing to accept my pup with less than 12 hours notice and for a 13 day stay while I was out of the country. My pampered pooch was treated like her own and I honestly think she may have came back more spoiled than when I left her and after that much time away it was a wonderful feeling knowing she was cared for so well. She even gave her a bath! Definitely will be a repeat customer and looking forward to future play dates w/ Bailey. Thank you so much!”
“Golda was a great caretaker for our hyper-active labradoodle! She worked to tire Ginger out with endless ball-throwing (what she lives for). This was the longest I have ever boarded her so was worried about her. Golda sent daily updates & photos which calmed me down quite a bit! And, of course, it rained heavily on 3 of the days with Golda; but she still managed to exercise Ginger in the rain. Would be very comfortable having Ginger with Golda again!”
“This is my first time leaving Mocha at a sitter’s house and Cindy gave me good confidence that Mocha will be well taken care of. Cindy is so experienced in taking care of dogs and was able to help my dog transition from pee pads to doing his business outdoor. Mocha had a great time at Cindy’s place and made many friends. Cindy kept us updated all the time with photos and videos which we appreciate very much! Thank you for all the love and care for Mocha and for such a great help during this period when we couldn’t bring Mocha along with us!”
“Jonathan and Tatiana were great for our dog! We had a last minute need and they rescued us in the eleventh hour. We are so grateful for their family and the care they showed our dog. They took him to the park everyday and sent updates every evening for the week he was with them. I would highly recommend anyone boarding with them. I won’t even waste my time looking for a different sitter in the future, they are my go to!”
“Our pup loves her pup-cations with Suzanne! So much safe fun and romping through green grass, hanging with buddies, she gets great care staying with Suzanne! Highly recommend!”
“My cat loves staying with Alexandra. Every time I board with her I always know the kitty will be comfortable and happy. She always sends me plenty of photos and updates and is responsive and communicative. It really makes the stress of traveling a lot more bearable to not have to worry about how my cat is doing! Thank you Alexandra!”
“I highly recommend Mary! This was my first time boarding Milo and he was in such great hands with her. I got pictures throughout the time I was gone which helped ease being away from my little guy. He looked so happy and I’m sure he didn’t want to come home! I will definitely be using Mary in the future :)”
“If you’re looking for someone to watch your dog, let me stop you right there! Harper is the best sitter!!! She is extremely kind, communicative and thoughtful. She sent photos and videos everyday which let us know our dog was in the best hands. She made sure to let him run around plenty and also cuddle up for naps. He had the best time with Harper and will definitely be back to hang out with her again!”
“Chad was incredibly nice and such a pleasure to work with! My dog Sammy came back happy and relaxed after staying with Chad, and he was super sweet to send me pictures during Sammy’s stay!”
“Adrienne and Edgar are awesome!! They were super responsive during our initial communications and sent plenty of photos of our Lula to reassure us that she was fitting in well in their home. Highly recommend booking with them!”
“Jocelyn was amazing! We got lots of updates and photos of our pup during her stay with her! 🥰 She was also accommodating to our pups needs and comforted her as she was afraid of the fireworks on the 4th. Definitely recommend to book with her she was great!”
“Kendal was so great with Raven and very easy to work with. She got Raven to relax and cuddle by day 2 of knowing her which is a huge deal for our anxious little rescue baby!”
“Lea was amazing with Lula! We appreciated all the photos and check-ins from Lea during Lula's week stay as it made us feel that Lula was in good hands. Communications with Lea was super easy - she was clear and prompt with her replies. Highly recommend Lea as a sitter, and will happily have her watch Lula in the future.”
“I boarded my dog with Kelly for 9 days while I was out of town and she did a great job. My dog came back to me happy with a wagging tail. She sent me picture/video updates every day to give me a peace of mind. Excellent communication and very professional. I highly recommend her if you’re in need of a dog sitter!”

Jasmine, Gabriel, and Sean were absolutely wonderful with Sparky! They took such great care of him during his three-week stay, sent me daily updates, and even cooked for him. It was clear that Sparky was comfortable, happy, and treated like part of the family. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such caring and responsible hands. I’m incredibly grateful for everything they did for him and would absolutely trust them with Sparky again. Highly recommend!
Astrid took excellent care of our special needs senior dog. Our dog is deaf, has arthritis in her hips, has skin allergies and requires medication twice a day — even with all these needs Astrid took special care of Miley. She was also very professional and sent updates daily. We truly appreciate her and would 100% book again with Astrid.
Charlene is our favorite sitter! She is easy to work with and responsive about availability. Henry loves going to her house, and comes home pleasantly exhausted from running around in her yard, attempting to chase her unfazed cats, and hanging with his dog buddies.
Patricia was so attentive, kind, and communicative during Freya’s boarding at her home. She understands the importance of making sure you feel confidence in your fur baby’s safety and happiness while they’re away from you— and I valued that sense of confidence a lot! Freya is a quirky pup, and Patricia followed all instructions very well in caring for her during her stay. I will 100% be bringing Freya back for additional stays as soon as next month and beyond.
Our dog Murphy had another great stay with Angelica and her family! She had a fun hike, did enrichment activities, and generally made herself at home. Murphy is always so happy to be there. Thank you Angelica! You make it so easy for us to travel and know that Murphy is taken care of and treated like family.
Meghan did a great job caring for Cas and Nova. They were well cared for, settled right in and made themselves at home, and came back healthy and happy! We also appreciate Meghan’s flexibility adjusting the schedule for us. We will be staying with Meghan again soon!
From the moment I met Julia, she made me feel completely at ease and confident that Oakley was in great hands. It was clear that Oakley felt comfortable and cared for, which meant so much to me. In the updates i could tell that Oakley was happy and well looked after the entire time. I am incredibly grateful for the love and attention she and Michael gave Oakley.
Briana is always amazing and so great at communication, someone you can trust! She sent daily photos and updates for us while we were gone. We also had a transfer during our time away and she asked all the right questions and kept us so reassured about everything. Thank you!
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!
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

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in San Leandro on Rover is $47.73 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 6,799 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.
