“Cindy took wonderful care of our 2 dogs and kept us updated with frequent photos, which really helped us miss them a little less. She was easy to communicate with, very organized throughout the process, and gave us great peace of mind. We would definitely recommend her!”
“Kennia was exactly what any pet owner is looking for in a sitter. She showered my pup in love the moment we arrived easing his anxieties and sent daily updates throughout his stay. Would definitely book again!”
“Megan and Jenny are exceptional. Zoey, my dog, is very comfortable, happy and enjoys being there. While there she enjoys playing ball, snuggling with them and relaxing in the back yard. Megan and Jenny are excellent communicators and provide videos, pictures and updates. I know Zoey is well cared for and safe when she is with them. Excellent dog sitters!!!”
“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.”
“Suzanne was awesome with my pups. From our first meeting to the pickup she was great with communication and efficiency. I could tell my pups enjoyed their stay and will definitely be reaching out to Suzanne for further boardings. 10/10 would recommend!”
“Lea is so awesome. She takes great care of my dog. My dog Yuki looked happy when she stayed with Lea. Lea also sends many updates throughout the day proactively. This is my first time using Rover, I believe Lea gave me a great experience. I would definitely rebook her in the future if her schedule allows.”
“Mr. Badger had a great visit for a week with Erika while we were traveling. She took excellent care of Mr. B and sent great photos of their snuggle adventures during the week. We will definitely use Erika again.”
“Mary was amazing with my cat! I had to change my drop-off time last minute and ended up picking my cat up a day early. I told her to keep the payment for the full stay, but she was sweet enough to refund me. Plus, her little son played with my cat the whole time, so my kitty got plenty of love. Super honest, flexible, and reliable—will definitely be using her 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!”
“Soba had an amazing time with shuvashna and her family, as well as the other doggies they hosted! He’s still exhausted from all the fun ;) Shuvashna also sent a lot of photos and videos and stayed in touch throughout! Will be seeing her again for Soba.”
“Ying is a wonderful dog sitter. She took care of our 75lbs Shepard mix and sent us fun photos and generally cared about his well being. We hope she’s available the next time we need a sitter!”
“Chad took great care of our girls, who are both a little shy and take time to warm up. They seemed really relaxed when we picked them up--a good sign! Would definitely work with him again.”
“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!”
“Harper was great. Easy drop off and easy pick up. Sent pictures and videos daily. Close to a few dog parks and played outside with our pup alot. Would definitely use again and recommend”
“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!”
“What a wonderful experience for our dog Shadow! Bibo’s dog is awesome and got along with our dog really well. Took a minute to adjust and then they were off like siblings! Bibo was communicative and on it. Would definitely book again, and again.”
“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”
“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!”

Our dog Murphy loved her stay with Robyn and her family! Robyn was friendly, took Murphy out on nice long walks, has a beautiful yard for Murphy to play in, and kept us updated with pictures and regular updates. We felt at ease during our trip because we knew that Robyn was taking care of her. Thank you Robyn!!
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!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
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.
