Our original plans fell through and Cydney was incredibly reliable. Super responsive and conveniently close to where I live. Rudy really enjoyed staying with Cydney. I would highly recommend and will definitely be booking again in the future!

My dog had a very good time there. I was afraid she wouldn’t come back home with me! Highly recommended. The host was super nice and attentive and sent me pictures for updates. Will definitely work with them again!

Jennifer and Jordon were amazing! They took my fur babe right in as their own. They were super accommodating with drop off and pick up times as well as communicative for the duration of his stay. They made sure he felt right at home and kept me updated on the activities of the day or any changes they may have had to implement due to weather (i.e. couldnt go to the dog park today because of the rain but we gave him a frozen treat to help expend some energy; we got to the dog park and he wanted to play in all the puddles, we got him all bathed and cleaned up though! Insert adorable picture of my dog wrapped in a towel, haha). I got plenty of picture updates and knew he was in great company. I would highly recommend them for your next boarding needs! I will definitely be using them for any future trips. Thank you for taking such great care of Maverick!♡

Jennifer was great! She took my cat in last minute and was very accommodating! She has a whole kitty playground at her house that my cat loved every second of. She also has a litter robot box so I didn’t have to bring a separate box/litter which made the exchange easier. She sent soooo many photos and videos that I loved and communicated very well. Jennifer is super sweet & I trusted her well with my cat… Definitely will book again :)

Pablo and Claire (sp) took very good care of Roxy for a week. Pablo sent great photo updates and asked questions to make sure that he’s taking the appropriate actions to keep Roxy happy and healthy. We joke that Roxy got a great vacation during her stay at Pablo’s, but that’s probably the truth. You can ‘t go wrong when you get Pablo & Claire to care for your dog (just don’t do it when we need to…).

Alexandra was great with our kitty! She sent me pictures and videos the entire time we were away and I could tell the cat was happy and well cared for. It was a great relief during our long time away to know Tiger was in good hands. Communication was easy and prompt as well.

After many bookings with Sara it has become clear that she really cares about my dogs and their comfort and well being. I feel very safe with her watching them when I am away. She is very prompt with responses and sends plenty of pictures and updates to boot. I would definitely recommend her services.

Matthew and Van Jospeh did a wonderful job hosting our dog, Stanley, for a 2 night stay. They were very easy to work with, were flexible, very friendly, and Stanley seemed at ease the moment he met them. Would absolutely use their boarding services again. Thank you!

Winnie treated Hercules as if he was her own. She showed him love, cuddled with him, walked him regularly and even gave him a bath so he came home smelling good! She kept me updated throughout his stay with messages and a steady flow of pictures. I highly recommend Winnie to anyone looking for a caring and loving sitter.

Jessica is wonderful! She was able to take our puppy for a weekend stay pretty last minute. Our dog was immediately comfortable with her, and had a blast! Jessica was also super communicative — she sent photos and videos every day. Highly recommend!

Melina is super sweet, caring and full of positive energy. She is great with communication, very punctual and fast to respond. Our puppy seemed super happy from the minute he met Melina until the end of his stay. We are sure he had a pleasant time and enjoyed his stay. We cannot recommend her enough, we already rebooked her twice and will always do if she is available!

Sloopy really loves to stay with Donald. I think she thinks his home is hers. I really appreciate that he keeps her to a regular schedule and I think that reduces her anxiety greatly. I know that Sloopy is well cared for when she stays with Donald.

Jose is incredibly good with dogs of all kinds, especially high energy dogs that need a lot of mental and physical stimulation. My blue heeler needs lots of exercise and this is the perfect spot because the dogs have access to plenty of outdoor space, toys, games, as well as hikes, and going to the dog park. I couldnt ask for a better dog daycare! I am grateful that he consistently trains dogs using positive reinforcement and is in tune with what each dog needs.

My little guy stayed with Selena and her husband for the 2nd time and I'm so grateful for their care. I got updates and photos of my skittish pup finding his own comfort in their home.

What are some dog-friendly parks in Oakland?

With the temperate weather in Oakland, it's always a good time to get outside with your dog, whether you're a dog sitter or owner. Redwood Regional Park is located in the hills east of downtown Oakland, and has tons of trails and open space for dogs to run. They are allowed to be in the entire park on-leash, and are even allowed off-leash in some of the undeveloped areas. Sibley Volcanic Regional Preserve is another wooded park with lots of trails to explore on leash. Off-leash activity is also allowed in the less-developed areas of the park. Lake Merritt is closer to downtown Oakland and is a great place for dog sitters to take a stroll with small, medium, or large dogs on leash.

Why choose Rover dog boarding in Oakland?

As one of of California's biggest cities, Oakland has a ton of dog sitters that are highly qualified to watch your pets. All you have to do to find overnight dog boarding or any other service from Rover is search our site or app for sitters in the Oakland area. From there you can decide to book one, which can be done in just a few minutes.

Why do dog owners love Oakland?

From the 2,079-acre Tilden Regional Park to lively Jack London Square, dog owners in Oakland always have something fun to look forward to when it comes to being able to get out and about with their dogs. Dog owners really appreciate the great weather and the many attractions that Oakland offers, including a huge Chinatown district, Lake Merritt, and the Redwood Regional Park - home to the largest remaining natural stand of coast redwood found in the East Bay. Oakland dog owners can also leave their dog with a sitter and head to the famous Oakland Zoo and its 650 species, or escape to Children's Fairyland, a transporting amusement park with a storybook theme.

What are some dog-friendly neighborhoods in Oakland?

No matter what you're looking for, there's probably a neighborhood in Oakland that has it, especially when it comes to dog-friendly activities. The Rockridge neighborhood is quiet and family-friendly, and has small local parks that are perfect for taking dogs for a quick walk. Piedmont Avenue is another popular Oakland neighborhood, and is home to the Mountain View Cemetery, a cemetery well known for having famous people buried there. Taking a walk through the cemetery would be a fun adventure to take your dog on. If you like to take lake walks, Grand-Lake Merritt is the neighborhood for you. It has a great park called Lake Merritt with a 3.4-mile walking path that's perfect for short and long walks with small, medium or large dogs.

Oakland dog boarding or any other services are just a tap or click away on Rover. Your dog will have fun taking a hike in one of the many wooded parks or will enjoy a stroll around a neighborhood in town. And you will be able to enjoy what you're doing and know that your dog is safe and in good hands with Rover.
