Is Kynine actually available in Oakland right now?

Yes. Oakland is where Kynine started and where we have the strongest community. Over 60 dogs already have profiles, and sitters are active across Temescal, Rockridge, Lake Merritt, Piedmont, Jack London Square, and Downtown Oakland.

How is Kynine different from Rover in Oakland?

Three things: zero commission for sitters (Rover takes 20%), GoodBot handles finding and booking care automatically, and dogs are the account holders with their own profiles and history. Plus, Oakland is our home base, so we know this community better than any other platform.

I'm a dog sitter in Oakland. How do I get the $50 gift card?

Download Kynine, create your sitter profile, then visit kynine.app/claim. Upload a screenshot of your active Rover or Wag profile, and we'll send your $50 gift card within 48 hours after verification.

What services can I book in Oakland?

Dog walking with live GPS tracking, pet sitting (at your home or theirs), overnight boarding, grooming, daycare, and training. Every service is available across all Oakland neighborhoods on the platform.

Are Oakland sitters background-checked?

Yes. Every sitter on Kynine goes through identity verification and background checks. Sitter profiles include reviews, service history, and verified credentials. Contact information stays hidden until a booking is confirmed.

Can I use Kynine and Rover at the same time?

Absolutely. Many Oakland sitters use both platforms. But once you experience keeping 100% of your earnings and having GoodBot handle client inquiries, you'll see why sitters are switching.

When you switch from Rover or Wag

Oakland is where Kynine started. Over sixty dogs already have profiles here. Golden retrievers in Rockridge. Pit bull mixes near Jack London Square. Their owners use GoodBot to find trusted sitters for morning walks around Lake Merritt, overnight stays in Temescal, and drop-in visits downtown. Every sitter keeps 100% of what they earn.

Piedmont, Temescal, Rockridge, Lake Merritt, Jack London Square, Downtown. If you're in any of these neighborhoods, Kynine is already here. Real sitters. Real reviews. Real dogs. No middleman taking 20%.

For Oakland dog sitters, the math is simple. Rover takes $200 out of every $1,000 you earn. Kynine takes $0. That's $2,400 more in your pocket every year. GoodBot handles messages from dog owners for you, so you get pre-qualified requests instead of endless back-and-forth.
