Pet Sitting & Drop Ins in Piedmont Pines, Oakland

“Madeline was fantastic with my dear old dog. The photos she sent during her time taking care of him were very thoughtful. He was very relaxed when I returned home, clear evidence that he was well cared for.”

“Marina is amazing! Very trustworthy, attentive and loving.”

“Christine was amazing! Communication and updates were stellar, and she was super-helpful in our meet-and-greet explaining all the ins and outs of Rover. Thank you so much!!!”

“Shanley was great with my dog Shane. Wonderful attentive care! He was very relaxed when I got home thanks to her making him so comfortable.”

“Susan was prompt and kind. I could really tell she cares about dogs. She asked great questions, making sure she knew everything she needed to know to properly care for Lucy. Highly recommend!”

“Ethan is absolutely incredible! I spent my first week away from my pup in 8 years and he assured me that she was getting top-notch care and affection while I was gone through phenomenal updates, photos and messages throughout the duration of the care.”

“Jj was amazing! This was our first time using Rover or any service pet care service. Jj was easy to communicate with, and did a meet and greet with us which made the transition easy. They took great care of our shy kitties and was aware of their need for space and slowly gained Jj’s trust and came out to say hi on the last day with Jj! They were professional from start to finish and can’t say enough great things! The updates and photos Jj provided eased our mind and allowed us to enjoy our trip away from the kitties.”

About: I have been caring for pets since I was a child. I have cared for dogs with physical disabilities and who require medications. I am also a nurse so feel very comfortable in the caregiving role. I work from home so have a reasonable amount of flexibility. I take my own dog for a walk twice a day and regularly visit dog parks for socialization. I have a fully enclosed deck/yard. We have lots of toys and balls for the dogs to play. My teen kids also love pets. They would enjoy playing with new pups if the owner's approve.

“Natalie has watched my dog and cat multiple times. My dog is a difficult puppy and normally doesn't like people, but seeing Natalie is exciting for her. It's like having a friend come over! She cares for all of her needs and takes special time to make sure she's safe on walks around other dogs. She medicates her when she needs it too!”

“Melina is WONDERFUL! She came in 3 days this week and each day did an INCREDIBLE JOB! She keeps me and my boyfriend super up to date with communication, videos, and pictures ❤️ If I have any questions, Melina responds immediately. And she follows any requests for Ivy (our pup) closely. Looking forward to having Melina come back to watch Ivy soon☺️”

“Vanessa was an amazing caretaker to my two cats! She won over both of their hearts, took great pictures, and stayed past the scheduled time. It seems like she truly enjoyed spending time caring for them. Would love to have her babysit them again.”

“Lauren is awesome! She was available to meet last minute as I had some weekend plans that I needed doggy care for. She’s very kind and detailed and I van tell Noodles feels really comfortable around her gentle nature!”

“Lauren was so great with our dog! He can be wary of strangers and she was patient and kind with him. He was comfortable with her after just a short while.”

“Maia truly loves animals and she is very responsible. Our cats were relaxed and happy when we returned. She provided good updates and communication while we were away. We would be happy to have Maia as a catsitter again in the future.”

About: Hi there! I’m known as the token pet sitter of my friend group and I’m totally okay with it. I have an 80 lb husky-lab mix I raised from a little pup, so I’m not scared of big doggos. I have a few fish and I love hanging with dogs and cats of all sizes 🤩 I am a freelance photographer/producer so I work remotely. I’ll be working from home if I house sit, but might need to leave for a few hours if I have a booked session. My hours are pretty flexible. I love to play with the pets and go for walks/hikes. I take my boy Reggie on 3 walks a day and give him all the attention he deserves 💕

“Thanks Michelle for taking good care of Joey on short notice. Really appreciate your help!”

About: My husband & I have been raised with pets our entire lives. We are proud to say that we’re experienced and extremely responsible animal lovers who believe pets are our kids……so much so that our vets said we are one of the best pet owners they’ve encountered and love to be our “kids” in their next lives. 🤣 We focus on quality care, love & positive energy over anything else. As loving pet parents, we understand it’s a huge decision when you have to leave your fur babies in strangers' hands. Rest assured we hold up to our words, we’ll love and care for them just like our own!!! Our goal is to always put ourselves in your shoes and their paws😆 and provide the best-pampered care for your babies and peace of mind while you’re away. He/she will be accompanied by us 24/7, NEVER be left alone & treated like a number! His/Her safety and comfort are our TOP TOP TOP priority when staying with us, we PROMISE!!! We’re home full-time, therefore we’re happy to host babies with separation anxiety. We’re generally flexible with drop off/pick up schedules. Communication & mutual respect are key factors to any positive relationships. 😊 We also offer hourly daycare services, please contact us for rate details. Our home has an ample fenced backyard, near trails and parks, so there are plenty of outdoor opportunities for attentive walks & playtime to keep your little ones active & happy. The interior is padded with floor mats for comfort, slip & fall prevention. We also have a separate floor guest quarter that’s perfect for cat(s) and dog(s) who do not care to interact with other animals as we do have the sweetest senior rescue, Augustina🐶. She likes all new friends but minds her own business most of the time😆. Given that said, we do require your pup(s) are human friendly.😅.

About: We've loved dogs our whole lives and joined Rover with the dream of opening our own doggy daycare someday. We bring hands-on experience, having raised our two dogs—a beagle and a basset hound—from tiny pups to well-behaved adults. Our apartment building has a dog park, that provides an ideal space for quick potty breaks and playdates with other pups. Having two pups of our own, pet care is already integrated into our daily routine. We have flexible work home jobs, ensuring your pup gets enough attention & potty breaks throughout the day. We’ll always be keeping an eye on your pup. Since there’s two of us, there will always ways be someone there with them, and they’ll never be left alone.

“we love cassandra!”

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 25. I love training dogs and taken classes and read up on the subject. I enjoy reinforcing what my dogs have learned and adding a little more gradually every day. I know the importance of paying attention, picking up cues, and acting promptly when needed. I'm an excellent communicator and am happy to speak with you anytime before and during you dog's stay with us. I'll also provide you with regular updates of how we're all doing. I work at home and have a large, enclosed backyard and an enclosed courtyard in front. I have two wonderful dogs and let them out every few hours. I am open to letting your pup sleep with my small dog and me — if that's your preference and the dog is comfortable with it. My children are grown. We have a routine with our dogs for when we eat and go outside. I can follow any instructions you have for your food, medicines, crating, dog beds, and treats. I will keep files with detailed notes of your instructions and what I learned about your pet during every stay, as we continue to get to know each other. My goal is for your dog to feel safe and happy so you can enjoy what you're doing and relax knowing that your four-legged baby is well taken care of.
