About: We are Jenny & Megan and we are ready to take in your furry best friend. We live in a single family home with a fenced backyard for your furry one to have some outside fun! We love all dogs, as much as we love our own. We lost the absolute love of our lives, our 14 year old boxer Dakota, February of 2025. She has a mountain of stuffed animals waiting to be played with. Your dog will be spoiled with attention, cuddling and love while they stay with us. We’ll share many photos and videos throughout your pet’s stay. We’re fairly flexible with pickup/drop off times and date changes. Just let us know what you need! Our home is conveniently located just 10 minutes from Oakland airport. If you need to leave your car, you are welcome to as well. Megan is very experienced with all sizes and different ages of dogs. Any special details your dog needs, we are able to accommodate. We look forward to meeting you and your pet! You’ll be able to enjoy your time away stress free, with your dog in our loving home. First time Rover user?

We are able to support bathroom breaks and special attention as needed. We cater to each pet's needs as requested by the owner, but a typical day would look like: a quick walk around the block in the morning for potty, come back for breakfast, another walk or a play session (potty if needed)) around 11am, another walk or play session (potty if needed) around 3pm, dinner around 5-6pm, and a final potty in the backyard before bed around 10pm. We have a fully-fenced backyard for outdoor fun and potty breaks. We have a dog bed in almost every room: living room, kitchen, and bedrooms.
“Baxter has stayed Andrea and her pups twice for daycare, with hopefully more days to come! Andrea has a gentle, kind spirit and seems very attuned to a dog's needs. At our meet & greet, she asked great questions about Baxter and his routines. She provided fun updates with pics a few times a day -- much appreciated!”

“Our pupp was well cared for. Charlene communicated regularly over the 24 hour stay - sent updates and pictures. Lou was well cared for and exhausted after a fun day with new friends.”

“Erika was amazing with my new pup Goldie. I was super nervous about sending her to day care having spent every waking hour with her since I brought her home almost a month ago. Erika was communicative, understanding, and compassionate about my fears. She was willing to do a meet and greet prior to and I was able to see how Goldie immediately became comfortable with Erika and Magda her friendly pup. Getting updates throughout the day made me happy to know things were going well. When I brought Goldie home she was worn out and ready for a good nights sleep having burned off her daytime energy. Let’s just say we’ll most definitely be going back to Auntie Erika’s as I’ve affectionately named her!”

“My first impression in meeting Shai (I liked this nickname of his, not sure if I spelled it right) was that, he had such a warm and kind energy about him. He made me feel at ease leaving my puppy with him. I had so much anxiety that whole day since this was my first time leaving my puppy (5months) alone with a stranger. She is usually accompanied with her bestie/roommate when someone else dog sits for us. I am very new to Rover. I was sent a lot of photos of her and her environment throughout the night which made me feel reassured that she is in a good spot. We even chatted for a bit when I picked her up and he gave lots of great advice. I am definitely going to be a returning client!”

“Alejandra is a fantastic sitter! We picked up our little girl happy and jolly after a day with her. I cannot thank her and her husband enough ❤️ she sent constant photos ,videos and updates throughout the day. Also, their puppy Nemo is adorable and so very friendly. If you want to have piece of mind about your dog knowing they'll be safe while having a great time, Alejandra is your sitter!”

“I am extremely protective of my fur baby and thus picky when it comes to who I trust him with! I was so relieved when I found Jeremy this summer before starting back to teaching. I have peace of mind now because I know Jeremy is giving my dog Teddy great care and attention. Jeremy is a kind, thoughtful and positive person and also professional. Teddy is a smart dog who needs stimulation and he gets access to a bunch of toys which he picks through and chooses from! He also gets good work outs on his walks. He comes home tired and happy! I highly recommend Jeremy.”

“Emily is amazing with my pup Taz! She sends updates and photos regularly, and is very quick to respond when I am just checking in! She is experienced with medication and she is overall awesome with dogs, I always feel comfortable when leaving Taz in her care! :)”

“Angel was such a wonderful sitter, and a complete lifesaver! We needed care last minute and she was available. For our first time using Rover, I could not have asked for such a wonderful person. I'm so grateful for her constant communication and reassurance that our Tempi was doing good. Highly recommend her! And if available would love to continue having Tempi stay with her.”

About: Take care of dogs part time for friends for many years. I have formed special bonds with them and love to see their excitement when they come over. No one throws a party for you when you get home like a dog. I love training puppies and taking them for walks and playing with them as well. I work/consult from home, occasionally need to leave for a couple hours to go to the gym or the store. I’m pretty active and like to go on daily walks. I’m willing to come over and take your dog out for a walk if they are comfortable with me doing so. If you’re able to bring the dogs to my home for an extended stay, I will provide a loving safe environment for them, with frequent potty breaks and one to two long walks per day. I’ll follow your instructions on what is best for your pet.

“Michelle & Mandar were so patient helping our young terrier mix get used to daycare for the first time. They sent reassuring pictures and videos or her playing with another dog and getting pets from the family. We are hoping to rebook for boarding in the future!”

“I really appreciated the quick and clear communication, including specific care Jakree gave our dog while he was with him for the day. He sent photos throughout the day which was comforting to see. He has a dog friendly backyard where my dog had fun playing with the other dogs in his care. I will definitely reach out to Jakree again.”

“Chad took excellent care of my young and energetic greyhound with a lot of separation anxiety. When I picked her up she was happy and excited, but she didn’t show any signs of distress. Prior to my dog’s stay at his home Chad had invited us over for a meet&greet and he took a lot of time to inquire about my dog’s character and behaviors, which made me very confident that things would be alright. Chad was also willing to accommodated my travel schedule. I am happy with the experience and hope he will be available next time I have to go out of town.”

About: Experienced pet parent to both dogs and cats with years of caring for friends' and neighbors' beloved companions. I provide attentive in-home sitting, overnight care, and enjoyable walks. I've successfully leash-trained older dogs and I love giving pets the exercise and affection they need. Your loved ones will receive the same care I give my own pets - consistent attention, plenty of play time, and a comfortable environment that feels like home. I work (mostly) at home. My own dog gets 4-5 walks per day during the week. Weekends are variable, but I try to have her outside for a good bit of the day. I live in an apartment. Outside time will have to be under my control when we go out for walks and pee breaks. Others' dogs can be crated if that's what makes them comfortable, but I typically let them hang out with my dog around the apartment. My dog is a voracious eater, so if other dogs are slow eaters, I'll have to separate their food (and maybe them for a bit) from my own.
“Kelly is absolutely amazing! We feel so fortunate to have found her and we knew from the moment we met her our dog was in great hands. She sent photos and videos throughout the day and he was happy when we picked him up.”

About: As a dedicated and experienced pet sitter, I am passionate about providing the best care possible for all types of pups. As a specialized pet sitter for bully breeds and small dogs, I understand the unique needs and quirks of these adorable dogs. With years of experience and a deep love for all things pup, I am committed to providing the highest level of care and attention to your furry friend. Everything from numerous short walks and playtime (temperature permitting) to feeding and medication administration, you can trust me to provide reliable and compassionate care for your dog. I am dedicated to ensuring your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you're away. My home has ramps to access all furniture and gates to prevent pups from running up and down stairs to protect their spines and potential IVDD flare ups. Our morning starts off with a walk around the neighborhood, then it’s breakfast time which means training and play with positive reinforcement! Your pup then has playtime with toys and with my dog Penelope if they are up for it or can snooze away. We then take a quick walk during lunch to stretch our legs and say hi to our friends at Rocky’s. After work we love to be in nature and hit the trails or parks to get some steps in! After dinner I love nothing more than to cuddle with the pups on my couch before bed! We have an outdoor deck that the dogs always have access to. Mostly serves as a sunbathing lounge 😎. The deck is also equipped with grass patches for easy potty breaks. Your pup with have the company of my dog, Penelope. She is a playful and well behaved French bulldog. I have a robust routine for her to keep her healthy and prevent her from being affected from her predisposed IVDD. I can easily incorporate any special needs or request that your day may need.
“Best BabySitter Ever! Finn loves going to Sally’s, hanging out in the house and yard, playing fun tag and chase games with the resident Neighbor dog - while Mommy does errands! Thanks Sally!”
About: I am an are experienced dog owners with over 12 years of caring for dogs. I currently have a very loving 7-year-old, 17-lb terrier who enjoys the company of other friendly dogs. I understand how important pets are to their families, and I treat every dog in our care like one of our own. I work from home, so your dog will always be supervised and never left alone. I am not a boarding kennel or a sitter that hosts large numbers of dogs at once. I purposely keep the number of pets in our care small so that every dog receives the attention, patience, and love they truly deserve. Each little one that comes into my home is cared for as if they were part of my own family. My focus is on creating a calm, safe, and loving environment where pets feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for. With plenty of attention, affection, and positive energy, I make sure every dog feels special, secure, and right at home. 🐾 I work full time from home, my dog is never alone and neither will yours! I typically take my dog on 5-6 walks so i dont charge by the walk while your dog is with me. My back yard is fully fenced and my home is spacious and clean. Your dog will spend his time in a quiet, clean, peaceful home!.

Jeremy gave so much focused attention to my Beagle Simon! Jeremy went above and beyond to take him on potty breaks and find the best toys for Simon to play with. After pickup, when we got into the car and all the way home Simon was smiling way more than normal—says it all, 5 stars!

Alejandra is a fantastic sitter! We picked up our little girl happy and jolly after a day with her. I cannot thank her and her husband enough ❤️ she sent constant photos ,videos and updates throughout the day. Also, their puppy Nemo is adorable and so very friendly. If you want to have piece of mind about your dog knowing they'll be safe while having a great time, Alejandra is your sitter!

Angel is an amazing pet sitter! She sent me plenty of photos and updates, which gave me great peace of mind. She was also very accommodating with last-minute changes, which I really appreciated. I would definitely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for reliable pet care.

Tamara was great from our first meet and greet. She put me at ease with her calm demeanor and her knowledge about dogs. Kahlo is a newly adopted dog so I am still anxious leaving her with others and Tamara answered all my questions and also shared knowledge about dogs which I still desperately need. She was quick to respond to my texts and gave me updates throughout the day. I felt at ease throughout my workday. Kahlo spent the day playing with her dog, Sidney and was happy and tired when I picked her up. I am very thankful I found Tamara. She is a true gem.

It was last minute searching for a dog sitter. Dacyl responded my request pretty quickly and invited my dogs to meet her dog before I decided. She was very sweet with Jet and Luna and sent me several photos and messages. They had a great time with her. Thank you, Dacyl!

Alexandra was a lifesaver! She was able to watch my two dogs last minute while I went out to dinner with my family, and I couldn’t be more grateful. Since I don’t live in Alameda, it was really important for me to find someone I felt completely comfortable with—and Alexandra exceeded all expectations. My girls came back happy and content, which tells me they received all the love and attention they deserve. Alexandra is super friendly, kind, and genuinely a good person. I only wish I had someone like her where I live. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone!

Teena was absolutely wonderful with our dog, Thomas. From the start, she was prompt, professional, and communicated clearly, which made the whole experience stress-free. She took Thomas on multiple walks and sent a detailed report about his day, which we really appreciated. Her dog, Adobe, is incredibly well-mannered and was such a positive influence. It was great for Thomas to have that socialization with such a calm, well-behaved dog. You can tell Teena genuinely cares about the dogs she watches. Thomas was happy, well-exercised, and clearly comfortable in her care. I would absolutely recommend Teena to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and caring dog sitter.

Jason and his wife are some of the nicest people. They took good care of my pups during their stay. Kept me updated and very accommodating. I ran into some last minute work situations on the day of my pups' stay and was going to be late to our agreed and planned pick up time. Jason accommodated to my late arrival request and assured me the pups will be well taken care of in the extra hour. Will definitely come back should I ever need a sitter again!

I have never used a dog sitter prior to my encounter with Brittney. And I have not been disappointed at all. She has been phenomenal with my dog. Eager to learn more about her to make sure she is most comfortable while she is with her. Very kind, patient and really treats my baby like family. She has given me such a peace of mind knowing my girl is in good hands while I am at work.
