1. David M.
“David was a great cat sitter for my two kitties! Always hard to leave my cats, but I felt peace of mind knowing David was on it. The hand off with key and instructions was easy, and he sent photos daily with an update on his visit. Also, my cats were very relaxed when I got home - like I never left! I will definitely be hiring David again.”

“Shard was so responsive, flexible and good to my girl. Bailey is a lot of dog, but Shard was patient with her and I think they had a great day together.”
11. Cora F.
“Cora has been my go-to pet sitter for the last few years. I would not trust anyone else to take care of my dogs. Cora always goes above and beyond to make sure she knows exactly what my dogs need to be safe and comfortable while I am away. She is also just a very responsible person, so I can always feel secure that she will be able to handle any situations that may come up with my anxious dogs. I cannot recommend her enough!”
12. Hannah E.
“Hannah is reliable, communicative, caring, and knowledgeable about animals and their needs. Both our dogs loved Hannah from the first meeting, in spite of one being particularly shy/nervous around new people. Hannah exudes calmness which relaxed the dogs from the start. She provided loving daycare, and provided a midday updates and photos which were unexpected but fun to receive. All involved, canine and human, were relaxed and happy when we got home. We have recommended Hannah to several friends and look forward to hiring her again.”
13. Lydia T.
“Lydia was an excellent cat sitter! She was very communicative and responsive, and always sent detailed reports and photos. She even watered a plant she noticed looked droopy! My cats were very well looked after. Would definitely recommend and hire again! 😊”
14. Leonard C.
“Len is a lover of dogs, and a great dog dad to his doodle Marty. We walk the Albany Bulb with our dogs. And, when I’ve been away, he’s been someone I can rely on to check in on my dogs.”
15. Marjorye G.
“We had a wonderful experience with Marjorye. She’s loving and responsible. Our cat Sadie absolutely adored her. I would recommend her to anyone!”
16. Nadine R.
“I cannot recommend Nadine enough for anyone in need of a loving, reliable pet sitter. I knew my furry family members were in good hands under Nadine care. Nadine is professional, punctual, and truly cares for the animals in her care. During my pet's 3 days stay at Nadine’s house she sent me regular updates and photos, which put my mind at ease and made me feel like I was still connected to my pets even while I was away. She also went above and beyond taking care of my little trouble maker and made him feel like he is part of her family. My pets loved Nadine, he didn't want to come home. I could tell they were well taken care of in my absence. I will definitely be using her services again in the future, and I encourage anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter to do the same. Thank you, Nadine, for giving me peace of mind and taking such good care of my furry family members!"”
17. Jacki R.
“Jacki is amazing! She very reliable and great with our puppy. Jacki works with our puppy on training. She understands dogs. We have been using her long term and feel at ease when she is in our house with the dog!”
18. Lula M.
About: I was raised with dogs! My first dog was named Greta, who was a German shepherd, she guarded our house, I remember she would also do her rounds, waking up at around 1 or 2 am, to check up on us. We then had Macho who was a dachshund and then we got another German shepherd named Mabel, both were very sweet, I also dog sat and dog walked for family members and close family friends. I’m a nursing student at contra Costa college, I do school part time, currently I have school on Mondays and Wednesdays. I am free for sitting and walking on Tuesdays, Thursday’s, Friday’s, Saturdays, and Sundays. I know how to keep puppies entertained, and can care for elderly pets as well, I can give frequent potty breaks, give medicine, help potty train, and overall take good care of pets, unfortunately I can’t board pets in my home at the time, but I can sit for multiple days in a row if need be!

About: We’ve been dog sitting for a few years and have cared for over 50 dogs (on and off Rover)! We have a friendly, calm 2-year-old cockapoo named Spud who loves other dogs. Delaney works from home full time and her schedule is flexible. Since we own a dog, we already build our schedule around taking care of him! We have extensive experience caring for dogs of a wide range of ages, breeds, and dispositions. As dog owners ourselves, we care deeply about the health and safety of any dog in our care, and we are knowledgeable about dogs’ needs and behaviors!
20. Rachael J.
