Pet Sitting & Drop Ins in Adams Point, Oakland, CA

“Jacob was great with Bean! He fed him his food, refilled the water and cleaned the bowls, and made the time to play lots with him. He also took plenty of photos! This was our first time going away and having a cat sitter, so we were a bit nervous, but the detailed notes and pictures definitely eased our nerves! Thanks Jacob <3”

“Jennifer did an amazing job with our two kittens Leo and Finn! She sent detailed updates and pictures every day, which was great and made us feel super secure with her :) Thank you!”

“Jessica was communicative and friendly! I have one scaredy cat with special needs, & she handled him wonderfully. Both of my kitties were happy and well-taken care of while I was away. Knowing that Jessica was watching my pets helped me feel comfortable & relaxed. Will certainly book again!”

“Hannah is legitimately a dog whisperer. My pitbull is fearful and reactive toward people, but within a few minutes of their first meeting, Hannah had Maisie taking treats from her hand and playing fetch. Once she started playing fetch with Maisie, my dog completely ignored me and kept bringing the ball back to Hannah instead of me. Maisie has never done that with other people. I've had Hannah come to the house 3x and it's been great every time. Maisie loves her. Hannah is really easy to communicate with, is always on time and has great ideas about how to work with my dogs. I trust her and her instincts completely.”

“Becky is awesome! She’s thoughtful and asked great questions when getting to know my cats, and sent nice write-ups and photos. She took such good care of my girls. We can’t wait to work with her again!”

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life. Growing up on my grandparents' farm, I developed a deep love and understanding for animals of all kinds. Over the years, I've also cared for two of the most unique dog breeds— a Chihuahua named AJ and a Chinese Shar-Pei named Roxie—both known for their distinct personalities. Additionally, I’ve had the pleasure of dog-sitting for two friends here in the Bay Area: a Golden Doodle named Riley and a Lab-Boxer mix named Uno. I truly enjoyed these experiences, which gave me the confidence to expand my pet care services through Rover. With plenty of patience and a genuine affection for animals, I’ll treat your pet like my own and ensure they receive the care and attention they deserve. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, operating on East Coast hours. This allows me to be available most afternoons, evenings, and early mornings on days when I don't have meetings. I’ll keep my schedule updated weekly to avoid double bookings. In my downtime, I love getting outside for walks— and I’d be thrilled to have the company of a new furry friend! As a dedicated and loving pet caregiver, I treat every pet as if they were my own. When caring for your pet in the comfort of your home, my priority is to create a familiar, safe, and comfortable environment. I follow your pet's routine to ensure they feel secure, whether it’s feeding, walking, playtime, or snuggles. I am attentive to your pet's needs and always keep them engaged and happy while respecting your home and boundaries. You can trust that your pet will receive the same care, affection, and attention that I would give to my own animals.

“We’re ecstatic to get Christine for cat pet sitting. Her care is beyond basic. My cat is older and required medication and fluids and Christine handled that very well. She was consistent with her timing and visits. I really enjoyed all the journaling and pictures of their visits while I was away. Christine has a great sense of animals and offers intelligent advice from her experiences.”

About: I’ve been lucky to grow up surrounded by both dogs and cats, and I can’t remember a time when there wasn’t at least one furry friend in my home. My pup, Ray Charles, and I truly enjoy the company of dogs of all sizes and personalities and foster on the side as well. To make sure everyone is comfortable, I like to arrange a friendly meet-and-greet before we set anything in stone. I work remote and have a lot of flexibility of schedule. Ray Charles and I spend our days exploring the beautiful parks and trails of the East Bay—and we’d be thrilled to have your pup join us for some fun walks and fresh air! Ray and I live in a cozy but spacious one-bedroom with a backyard, perched at the top of a hill in a safe, peaceful neighborhood that’s perfect for walks and outdoor play.

“Ashlyn was great with my little dog Mazzy! She took excellent care, great communication, and great pics! Would definitely hire her again for dog walks or sitting.”

“Chelsea is really the best. We had never used this type of service before but she made sure we felt comfortable even before booking. She set up a meet and greet to get to know us and our cat, she was so sweet and asked us everything she needed to know and she took notes on things we considered important. She made sure to keep us updated on behavior and sent us pictures and a detailed report after each visit. We felt so comfortable knowing that our fur baby was happy while we were away in another country. She went above and beyond and all the little extra attention to detail and going the extra mile was the cherry on top of her amazing service. She definitely made sure to take care of our fur baby like it was her own as noted on her description. We will for sure be booking with her again when needed. Thank you Chelsea! ?”

About: Ciao! My name is Matt and I'm very excited to have the opportunity to meet you and some of the amazing pets we have here in the city. I currently live near the rose garden/Piedmont. I live close to several other parks, and I always enjoy meeting new pet friends that come my way. I really don't have many restrictions, but all I ask is that if you are interested in meeting to discuss my services that we have great communication (whether it's email, call/text, etc.) I work from home during the week and actively get outside myself, so I'm sure we could work something out if you need help with your pet! Comfort and exercise go hand-in-hand in my experience. Play time and treats are always possible. Companionship is a must and routine is our next best friend.

About: Passionate and reliable dog sitter with a deep love for animals and years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes. Known for providing safe, attentive, and affectionate care, including walks, feeding, playtime, and administering medication if needed. Committed to keeping pets happy and owners worry-free with regular updates and personalized care. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, as I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I schedule walks, feedings, and playtime consistently each day. Whether it's early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening cuddles, I make sure each pet receives attention, love, and the care they need. My flexible schedule allows me to prioritize their well-being while maintaining a balanced, pet-friendly routine. I care for pets by creating a safe, clean, and comfortable environment, whether in my home or a client’s. At home, I provide a secure space with plenty of room to play, regular walks, fresh water, healthy meals, and lots of affection. In a client’s home, I follow their pet’s usual routine closely—feeding schedules, walking times, and any special instructions—to help the pet feel at ease. I also keep the home tidy, respect the space, and give regular updates with photos and messages for peace of mind.

About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my whole life, and now I’m lucky enough to be a dog parent myself. I know how much our pups mean to us - they’re family - and that’s exactly how I treat every dog I care for. Whether it’s keeping up with a playful puppy or taking it slow with a senior who just wants some fresh air and company, I’m here to meet them where they are. I’m comfortable giving meds, sticking to specific routines, and picking up on each dog’s unique quirks and needs. Your dog will be safe, loved, and genuinely cared for while they’re with me. I do freelance work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to fit in regular walks throughout the day. I love getting outside, and having a dog by my side makes it even better. Whether your pup needs a quick potty break or a longer walk to burn off energy, I can easily build it into my day and give them the attention and exercise they need. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment that feels familiar and stress-free. I stick closely to your pet’s usual routine so they feel secure and cared for. I’m respectful of your home, clean up after pets, and always keep you updated with messages and photos. Your dog’s well-being is my top priority, and I treat every pet like they’re my own.

About: I grew up caring for my own family’s dogs (Boston Terrier and Boxer) for several years and have helped neighbors, friends, and partners with their pets ever since. I am currently between jobs so my schedule is very open. I hope to work with the community’s dogs at least a few times a week while I navigate this difficult career transition. I am an incredibly responsible, caring, and loving person. Your loved ones will be my top priority whenever they are in my care. Allergies and any other health conditions or special needs will be addressed exactly as per your requests.

About: I dedicate in creating a bond of trust and affection filled with love and patience. I provide a safe and enjoyable environment for your pets. I enjoy the outdoors and being around pets. They bring me such joy and comfort and I want to be a helping hand to owners I’m pet friendly and have lots of patience. I create a bond to enable trust for it to lead to an enjoyable and exciting time.

About: Hello! My name is Ashley, and I recently moved to the beautiful city of Oakland and am offering my pet sitting services again! Over the years, I’ve had the joy of providing pet sitting in Hawaii, Washington, D.C., San Francisco, Seattle, and Chicago. I provide both dog and cat sitting. I’ve had a love for animals since I was young. I first started offering pet sitting services while living in D.C. when I found myself without a furry friend of my own. Since then, I’ve gained experience caring for pets of all ages—from playful puppies and kittens to sweet seniors. I currently work a part-time schedule, which makes me flexible with availability and responsive to your needs. I am available most weekends after 1 PM. Communication is very important to me—I’ll always keep you updated and follow any specific care instructions you provide. As a pet parent myself, I completely understand how nerve-wracking it can be to leave your beloved companion in someone else’s care. That’s why I do everything I can to make both pets and their owners feel comfortable and at ease. Whether it’s enjoying long walks around Lake Merritt with dogs who love exercise, or curling up with a cat who just wants some company, I make sure each pet feels safe, loved, and cared for. My goal is simple: to give you peace of mind and make sure your pets are happy while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies! I am currently working a part-time schedule and can be very flexible with my availability, making it easy to work around your schedule and your pet’s needs. I am available most weekends after 1 PM. When walking dogs, I always make their safety my top priority—using secure leashes, keeping a close eye on surroundings, and making sure they get the right balance of exercise and care. I’m also very respectful of people’s homes, treating them with the same care I would my own. You can trust that your pet and your space will always be safe with me.

“Kiara was awesome! When we arrived home from our trip, I could tell our cats had been well taken care of. Kiara took lots of pictures when she visited to reassure us our kitties were okay. She was easy to communicate with and was even willing to water my plants. Thank you Kiara!”
