Dog Sitter Oakland

How much does a dog sitter in Oakland cost?

Dog sitting services in Oakland typically range from $45 to $87 per night, depending on factors such as the sitter’s experience, location, and the level of care required for your dog. FlatRover offers a budget-friendly alternative with a single annual membership instead of nightly fees — you get unlimited access to trusted dog walking experts at no extra cost.

Why choose a FlatRover sitter over traditional dog boarding?

FlatRover sitters provide your dog with care and companionship in a familiar home setting. Unlike boarding kennels, which can be noisy and overwhelming, your dog enjoys a peaceful environment, personalized attention, and the comfort of sticking to their regular routine. Our sitters know how long you can leave a dog alone — and how to adjust their schedule to make your dog feel secure while you're away.

Are dog sitters available in Oakland, including for long-term stays?

Yes! Whether you’re heading out for a weekend or planning a longer trip, you can easily find reliable short- or long-term sitters in Oakland. And if no one local is available, many FlatRover members are happy to travel to Oakland to care for your dog during your time away. 

How do I start finding a sitter in Oakland?

Just create your listing — share details about your pet, your home, and the dates you’ll be away. Sitters in Oakland will then reach out to you, and you can review profiles, read reviews, and choose the best match. FlatRover connects pet owners in Rockridge, Temescal, Montclair, Downtown Oakland, and other neighborhoods with experienced and caring dog sitters. Give it a try and see for yourself! Believe it — welcoming a dog sitter from Oxford or Valencia for a long-term stay isn’t just possible, it happens all the time.
