We've used Tracy twice, and both times were great. Our dogs seemed to warm up quickly, and she has been flexible and responsive.

Sara is amazing! She is very kind, loving, thoughtful, and attentive. Ruffles is not an easy dog! He’s highly anxious and kind of a bully, so I appreciate that she is firm, consistent, and most of all - loving! - with him. Thank you for taking care of my baby while I was away! I have peace of mind knowing he’s in Sara’s care.

Pablo was wonderful with my dog Tubby! He sent an update with pictures every day. Tubby is usually afraid of strangers but warmed up to him instantly. I would definitely recommend Pablo!

Selena is great and Tux was so happy to be with her. Selena was super helpful and accommodating with Tux. She bought and prepared his food. Picked him up and dropped him off to and from my home. She’s very organized. He went on outings and loved being at her place. She sent many great updates with pictures, videos and text messages. Thank you for the love you gave to my 17 year old pup Tux. I highly recommend Selena as she provides great service and Tux and I will definitely be back again.

Juliana was absolutely wonderful! She gave Buddy so much love and I could tell when I picked him up that he had established a bond with her. :) I recently lost our my furry bestie of 16 years and Buddy was with him over 11 years so I was really nervous about leaving him with someone new since we’re both a little fragile but Juliana was incredibly gracious to us both and her care allowed me to be away for a week long work trip stress free. I got pics and a video and each one Buddy was living his best life. :) Great communication from her throughout the whole process. I highly recommend Juliana’s services!

We had an excellent experience with Violet and her fiancée Henry. She’s super friendly, communication throughout was super quick and easy, and their dog Warren is delightful and seemingly was a great playmate for our dog while she was with Violet. She also sent lots of photos and updates which was nice. They have a great backyard which we don’t have at home so I’m sure our dog loved it! Highly recommended!

Jake and chanakarn were exceptional, making our puppy’s first time away from us as comfortable as possible. I was quite anxious about leaving her, knowing she has separation anxiety and might not eat. Thankfully, Jake was incredibly supportive, even hand-feeding her when she was hesitant. He kept us updated with frequent FaceTime calls, videos, and pictures, which greatly eased my worries. It’s clear she felt at home with them. As a nervous dog mom, it usually takes me a while to trust someone, but Jake’s attentive care left me relieved and confident. Your puppies will be in fantastic hands with Jake!

Lilly is amazing! She is very reliable, responsive, friendly and great to work with. She really spoiled our pup in the best way with lots of walks, pets, attention, and treats. She was able to give him a banana on a lick mat which is his favorite and sent lots of pics and videos every single day. Kevin looked like he had a so much fun playing and hanging out with Lilly and her husband. She and her husband provided exceptional care. Looking forward to using her services in the future. Thank you so much Lilly!

Katie has watched my beloved fürchilde, Sartre, many times over the years and I can confidently recommend her without qualification. Katie is someone who knows and understands dogs, but more importantly, she loves them. My little buddy has been my guardian angel for over 12 years and I don't leave him with just anybody. With Katie, I know he'll be safe and looked after. That level of trust doesn't come easily for me and it says a lot that I've been able to place it in her.

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!♡

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!

Right from the start, Noni was super communicative, proactive and engaged, making sure our dog Pickles was comfortable and working to figure out her schedule. Honestly, it took some effort and observation as this was a very different environment for Pickles but Noni was extremely attentive. Pickles was walked plenty and taken to the dog park as well. Never once were we in any way concerned for the safety or well being of our dog. Also we absolutely love getting pics and videos and Noni did not disappoint. Highly recommend!

I simply can't express enough gratitude for the incredible care that Danielle provided to my dog while I was away. I knew very quickly that my furry friend was in the best hands possible. She not only took care of the basics but showered my boy with love and attention. Each update and photo that was sent warmed my heart and reassured me that he was not just fine, but having a great time. Danielle's dedication to ensuring my pet's well-being went beyond my expectations. She was very committed to ensuring that he felt comfortable and secure while I was away. In short, I can't recommend her highly enough and will undoubtedly entrust her with his care in the future. Thank you, Danielle, for being an absolute blessing!

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.
