Pet Sitting Albany

“Maria came through for us and took care of Raylan when we needed. She even adjusted her schedule to fit some changes we needed and was easy to communicate with. We loved all the pictures and reports she provided. We will definitely book her again.”

“Kristen and Calvin are the best! They were super attentive and communicative about their drop-in visits, giving me peace of mind that Zorro was in good hands while I was away. I won't hesitate to work with them again.”

Sabrina L.

“Kylie was a great catsitter. She was communicative and attentive the whole time, followed all my instructions, and set clear expectations upfront. Really respectful of my space too. When my cat had a throwing-up incident, she handled it calmly, cleaned it all up, and was even mindful about which towel she used. Reliable, thoughtful, and easy to work with. I would absolutely book her again and hope she is available for another trip I’m taking in two weeks.”

About: I am a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, from small breeds to large dogs, as well as cats, birds, and reptiles. My experience includes providing specialized care and rehabilitation support for dogs with amputated legs, helping them adjust to mobility challenges while ensuring their comfort, safety, and well-being. I understand that every animal has unique physical and emotional needs, especially senior pets and those requiring extra attention. Having grown up surrounded by animals, I have developed a genuine love and appreciation for pets of all kinds. I have also cared for kittens and a pregnant cat, giving me experience with animals at different stages of life. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, shy and sensitive, or needs additional assistance, I provide patient, gentle, and attentive care tailored to their individual needs. My goal is to treat every pet like a member of my own family and give pet parents peace of mind knowing their companions are in loving, capable hands. Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy and make time for in my daily routine. I offer flexible scheduling for dog walking, drop-in visits, and overnight pet sitting in clients’ homes, including weekdays, evenings, weekends, and holidays, depending on availability. I enjoy spending quality time with animals and making sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while their owners are away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I provide care in your home, where your pets can remain comfortable in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routines. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, exercise needs, and any special care requirements. I have experience caring for dogs of various sizes, cats, birds, reptiles, and pets with mobility challenges, including dogs recovering from amputations. I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and respect, and I provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your furry family member is in good hands.

About: Hello! My name is Melissa Renata. I’m from Mexico and I have extensive experience caring for a wide variety of animals. I have taken care of dogs, cats, ducks, rabbits, macaws, and even peacocks. At one point, I cared for up to 10 pets at the same time, which has made me very responsible, organized, and attentive to each animal’s needs. I truly love animals and enjoy spending time with them, making sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I am patient, reliable, and always make sure to follow any specific instructions from owners regarding feeding, routines, or special care. I have a valid driver’s license and reliable transportation, and I am available in the mornings and evenings. I would love the opportunity to help care for your pets as if they were my own. Thank you for your consideration! I am available for pet care in the mornings and evenings, as I currently work from 1:00 PM to 8:00 PM. I am happy to be flexible within those hours to meet your needs I always prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment when caring for pets. I make sure to follow the owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, routines, and any special needs. In my client’s home, I respect their space and keep everything clean and organized while ensuring their pets feel comfortable and secure in their familiar environment. I pay close attention to their behavior and well-being at all times. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, clean, and supervised environment, making sure they have enough space, attention, and comfort. I always keep a close eye on them and ensure they feel relaxed and well cared for. My goal is to make pets feel happy, safe, and loved while giving owners peace of mind.

About: Since I was born, I have had pets running around my house and have been taking care of them for as long as I can remember. Throughout my life, I have had 5 cats and 3 dogs and I know everything there is to know about taking care of them. I will make sure your pets get the same love that my pets get at home. I don't have a job right now so I have plenty of time to hang out with your pets, but I will update my availability when I do find a job. I live in an area with lots of open walking space and places to use the bathroom. There is a park close by with wide open areas that I know pets would love to roam and explore.

About: I’ve looked after dogs and cats for family and friends when they were away on vacation. Although I don’t have pets of my own, I have a deep affection for cats and small dogs. I’m new to Rover and excited to meet some new furry friends. Since I work full-time in person Monday through Friday, I am available for service during weekday evenings, weekends, and holidays. I have my own car, which allows me to commute to various locations easily. I offer a range of pet care services, including house sitting, dog walking, and quick drop-in visits. My highest priority is always the safety and well-being of the animals I care for, and I'm happy to accommodate their unique, specific needs.

About: I’ve had two dogs in the past—an English Bulldog and a Maltipoo. During the pandemic, I also cared for a friend’s dog for a couple of months while she was out of the country. I don’t have any specialized dog-handling skills, but I genuinely love dogs and enjoy spending time with them. I’m a recent college graduate looking for a full-time job, so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to spend with your pup. I usually start my day with a morning walk, and I enjoy taking walks after meals as well. On weekends, I love getting outdoors to explore nature and check out new hiking trails, especially since I just moved to the area last month. If your dog enjoys being active and exploring, I’d be happy to include them in those adventures (with your permission, of course!). I also enjoy relaxing at home, so whether your pup prefers playtime or cuddles on the couch, I’m happy to match their routine. I generally prefer pet sitting in the client’s home because it allows the dog to stay in a familiar environment, which can help them feel more comfortable and secure while getting to know me. If I do care for a dog in my own home, we have a spacious living room and kitchen where they can relax and play. They’re welcome in all common areas, including the living room, where they can join me on the couch, keep me company while I cook or eat, or simply hang out with me while I work from my home office. The only area that is off-limits is the main bedroom. My goal is to make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and included throughout the day.

About: I've cared for dogs and kittens for friends and family for the past 3 years. I've also raised my own dog, he's going 13 years strong! I am employed full time, working remotely in my home. With my flexible schedule, I can easily step away for in-home visits to check on pets or take dogs out for walks. Regardless the size of the pet, I understand pets need space to stretch their limbs. Some families don't have the luxury of a fenced yard, and that's when longer walks can truly benefit!

“Irene took great care of our cats and house while we were away!”

I truly believe that dogs are more than just pets; they're members of the family. That's why I'm committed to providing the best possible care for each and every dog that comes my way. Whether it's taking long walks, playing fetch, or just giving them plenty of cuddles and belly rubs, I'm dedicated to making sure your furry friend feels happy, safe, and loved while they're in my care.

This includes providing regular exercise, feeding on schedule, administering any necessary medication, training and giving lots of love and attention. In addition to my daily routine, I also have a weekly schedule that includes regular grooming, cleaning of living spaces, and any other necessary tasks to keep my fur babies and fur guests happy and healthy. Overall, my commitment to providing high-quality pet care is an integral part of my daily and weekly routine, and I take this responsibility very seriously. I ensure that my home is clean, safe, and comfortable for my pets. This includes a clean backyard for them to run, a living room with a rug for them to wrestle, multiple beds, and soft blankets in the bedroom for them to rest and sleep. I established a regular routine for feeding, exercise, and playtime. With lots of toys and access to filtered water. I provide regular opportunities for the pet to go outside in my backyard to get some sun, play, run, and take potty breaks. I keep the pet's living space clean and free from hazards. During playtime, I am present, for tug of war or fetch. Throughout the day I monitor the pet's behavior and health closely, trying to understand their needs.

“Laurena was a perfect cat sitter. She stopped by everyday and fed our cat, scooped his litter, and played with him. Our cat usually doesn’t like strangers but after a day or two she was sending pics of our cat cuddling with her! She did a great job.”

Misty M.

“We always request Amber when we are away. A great and thoughtful cat sitter. She takes the time to pet, play with, and give treats to our cats. They love her.”

Jamie S.

“Superb care for our kitties! Thank you!”

Michael S.

“Ember received excellent care while I was away on vacation. Lisa is definitely an enthusiastic cat person and easily won over Ember's trust. Lisa and Ember got in a lot of good play time as well, which was evident when I returned and a) Ember was dismayed and b) Ember was expecting play time right away. Thank you so much for your time/care, Lisa. I'd definitely ask you to cat sit for me again!”

About: I volunteer at Berkeley Humane, feeding and walking and playing with lots of pooches. My last dog was a Chocolate Lab that I took care of for 15 years. I'm retired. I volunteer for the Civil Air Patrol as a search and rescue pilot, and also at Berkeley Humane feeding and walking various doggos. My schedule is very flexible. I have a fenced yard with lots of room to run around. I'm also half a block from Ohlone Dog Park which also has an adjunct dog park for small dogs.

About: I have been pet siting for over 5 years now with neighbors, coworkers, and family friends. I have housesat dogs in their exiting stages of life all the way down to new born puppies. My longest dogsit was 3.5 weeks and I still sit for that family on occasion. Another client in Marin I cat sit for regularly. I am very active so walking/jogging even multiple times a day are not a problem for me. My work schedule is only part time so I can care for your dear ones more frequently. I work part time and event work so my schedule is very flexible. I also already travel and housesit all over the bay so I am accustomed to stay or visits for care. I wake up early and sleep late in the evening. I view animals as our more than human friends in this world. And I believe they have the capacity to miss you as much as a human might so I provide them company and care so they don't feel alone.

About: Hi! I'm Josephine, an experienced dog sitter and returning adult student. This might sound cliche, but dogs are my absolute favourite animals! I treat animals with as much respect as I would a human being. I have an intuitive, receptive, and education-based approach to caregiving. As a highly sensitive person, I can easily feel the needs and desires of animals, as well as other things they're communicating. My experience includes taking care of reactive dogs, dogs using wheelchairs, young ones and seniors. 
 I'm happy to integrate whatever your dog needs during pet-sits, drop-ins, and walks, such as treats and basic training they're already working on. I've trained my previous dog to do a few things as an adult, so I'm familiar with the process, but I'm not a trainer myself. For dog-sitting, I'm 100% respectful of your home, so I do my best to keep everything in tact, clean, and tidy. I'm currently studying full time and I have plenty of available time to play, laugh, and walk with your furry buddy! I'm sure we can figure out a perfect schedule. For dog-sitting, I follow all of your care instructions, including for specialized diets and medication. I'm very attentive to the dog's needs and desires and will answer to them promptly.
