“Absolutely wonderful from start to finish! Communication was excellent throughout the entire process. I had a few specific instructions for my pup’s stay, and not only were they followed perfectly—they even offered helpful suggestions and kept me updated with pictures and videos the whole time. The level of care and attention my dog received was outstanding, and I could tell he felt right at home the moment we arrived. There’s a warm, calming energy in this home that you can feel immediately and clearly, my pup felt it too. I’m beyond grateful and will definitely be booking again whenever I’m out of town. Thank you so much! Can’t wait to see you all again soon!”
“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!”
“They were great; attentive, flexible, and kind They made sure to send daily updates that included lots of pictures and videos. We are happy we found them to watch our standard poodle.”
“Cindy was amazing with our pups. She was very knowledgeable, offered training feedback, and followed our feedback about their needs and personalities. Love that she took the time to engage with them and tired them out. Will definitely book with her again.”
“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!”
“This is our third time having Mary board our cats and we’ll definitely be continuing to use her! Mary takes great care of our cats and we appreciate how much time she spends hanging out with them while they’re with her. The boarding space is beautifully set up with all the things a cat could want: big window with a cat tree for bird watching, toys, cozy spots to hide, wall mounted platforms, and much more! Mary has a ton of cat experience so we always breathe a sigh of relief when she’s watching them because we know they’re in such good hands. We highly recommend Mary if you’re looking for somewhere to board your cats!”
“Suzanne is a wonderful and trustworthy dog sitter. She has a beautiful property for dogs to roam around safely outside. She also helped with my dogs eye drops and pills with no problem.”
“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!”
“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!”
“Thank you Megan & Jenny! I needed to board my dog for one night with short notice and Megan & Jenny were able to board him. They responded quickly to my request and communicated with texts and photos during my dog's stay. My dog looked happy and it seems like he was well cared for. I will be contacting Megan & Jenny again for dog sitting and boarding.”
“Ellie had an amazing time with Natallia. She took notes of all my instructions and paid extra attention to things that Ellie is a little bit shy of doing or eating. I definitely would trust Natallia to take care of my dog again!”
“As much as I really want to keep Shuvashna to myself, sharing is caring. She is amazing with my fur baby. He knows her name and is excited when he knows he’s going to hang out for the day. Shuvashna takes such great care of him and has really gotten to know him and his little quirks. She has a great place to run around and he is always nice and tired when he gets home. She’s amazing!”
“Golda and her husband were AMAZING! We will book again. They are located right across from a field-so our dog got the exercise she needed. They gave us so many pics/videos/updates on how she was doing and how much they enjoyed having Luna Sky stay with them. They were very thoughtful in offering to purchase more of her daily supplement and even bought her more of her treats to take home. They really made our dog part of their family while we were away and honestly were wonderful to work with. Nothing but 5 stars for us :) !”
“Robin and Dan are very warm, caring and obvious dog lovers. They took Nora in with open arms and were very accommodating when it comes to her quirks. They sent many updates, photos and videos. I could tell Nora felt instantly at home with them and knew she would be well taken care of. Robin and I had thorough conversations before her stay on Nora’s specific needs and traits which mad me feel at ease. Nora was very happy and content when we picked her up and didn’t seem to want to leave! We would love for Robin and Dan to take care of Nora in the future”
“Alex took very great care of our dog while my partner and I have to both be away for a week. My dog has rarely been with sitters and is very nervous around new people. Alex has been great at accommodating all of my dog’s needs, and have a great environment to make my dog feels as comfortable as she can. Alex is very prompt with communication, and provided daily picture/video and detailed updates of my dog. Alex has a ton of experience with dogs so I would definitely leave my dog in her care again.”
“Lenin and Tatiana were great with Peanut. They took over after a bad experience with another sitter, so I appreciate them making sure that she was doing well and in good spirits when I got her. The previous sitter had not been taking her out to the bathroom properly so Peanut required extra care and frequent bathroom breaks during this time and they were great about it. Thank you!”

We had such a great experience with Kendal watching Chance and Bella. I’m always a little nervous leaving them with someone new, but she made me feel really comfortable and I could tell they were in good hands. Kendal followed their routine, took great care of both of them, and was really thoughtful with everything. She even bought them the treats we told her they love, which was such a sweet extra touch and really meant a lot to us. When we got back, Chance and Bella were happy, comfortable, and clearly well taken care of. That gave me so much peace of mind while we were away. I would absolutely trust Kendal with them again and definitely plan on booking with her in the future.
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.
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.
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

The average cost for Dog Boarding in San Leandro on Rover is $47.73 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 6,861 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.
