“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.”

About: I work for a professional dog service that's been open 10+ years with a private dog park. I'm looking for extra work other then working at the dog park. I also do two dog pack walks after the park with the dogs that cannot go to the due to a variety of issues including aggression and/or anxiety. Whenever there is an issue I am the go to for these dogs who love me with all their heart and I in return. Currently work from 9am-2:30pm Monday through Thursday and Friday 9am-12pm as a dog handler so I am available for afternoon/evenings. I am also free on the weekends. I have a three bedroom house with a large backyard with tall wooden fences and a chain link fence to access it. Two bedrooms are unoccupied so I have plenty of space available and also live near point Isabel.

“Christine was amazing with Mari. Mari can be sensitive to new people, but Christine gained a relationship right away. Definitely will book with her again!”

About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something I genuinely love. I have two large dogs of my own, including a 115-pound pup, and I’ve worked with dogs of all ages, sizes, personalities, and energy levels. My experience ranges from fostering young puppies and small 15-pound dogs to caring for huge, strong, stubborn, nervous, high-energy, and senior dogs who need extra patience. I’ve been consistently walking dogs for the past five years and also have years of experience with pet sitting and house sitting. I volunteered at an animal shelter for years, fostered many dogs, and ran an animal welfare club throughout high school. I understand that every dog has their own routine, boundaries, and quirks. I take the time to learn what makes each dog feel safe and comfortable, follow instructions carefully, and adjust each walk to their needs, whether that means a fast-paced outing, a slow senior stroll, extra structure, or a calm and patient approach. My goal is to give owners complete peace of mind and treat every dog with the same attention, care, and affection I give my own. Since I'm home for the summer from school and working a City of Berkeley job with flexible hours, my days are largely spent with my own two big dogs at home. This means I'm readily available to give your pets all the attention and care they need throughout the day. Your dog's comfort and safety are my number one passion, and I'll care for them as if they were my own, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and happy while you're away. I'll also make sure your home is kept secure, neat, and well-maintained during my time there.

About: Use code JOSEPM64384 for $40 off! 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 (I read a couple books). My 5 years of 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.

“Kai is incredible! Communication was easy and she was so reliable. We have a senior cat that needed lots of special attention and a complicated feeding instruction, but Kai was able to administer everything the old kitty needed each day, with reports showing what we needed to know. She also noticed the old kitty was losing appetite and flagged it so we can change up his diet in the middle of the booking. We really appreciate the attentive care. We also have another very shy female cat in the house, and Kai was able to approach her on day three!!! It was extremely special.”

“My dog is very wary of strangers. And after 3 short visits he was crawling into Thomas’ lap. Cannot recommend highly enough!!!”

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.

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 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.

“Vivian was wonderful with Honey. They knew just what to do and gave me great tips to help with her issues of separation anxiety and crate training. They took a walk during the 3 hrs I worked and I never heard any barking as I had in the past. I really appreciated that they made themselves available at late notice and the thoughtful care they used in dealing with Honey.”

I have 6 years of hands-on experience caring for my own dog, as well as the pets of friends, family, and Rover clients. Whether it’s a walk, potty break, playtime, or a drop-in visit, I make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for while sticking to their routine. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I work from home so I’m readily available to help take care of your pets at all times. I’m very active - always going on walks and hikes should your pets want to join! I’m a young professional who is reliable and responsible. I will care for your space as though it’s my own. I’ll follow your pets typical schedules & your requests for my visits.

About: For the last four years I’ve lived in a home with two Rhodesian Ridgebacks. One was a senior at 13 years old and the other is three. I’ve learned how to adapt to their different needs based on age and personality while setting boundaries and aligning to my Housemate’s desires for their care. (Which has helped me get to know new dogs pretty quickly.) We walk, play and cuddle. When needed I administer medication, feed them, and sometimes cook for them. I look forward to chatting with you about your family’s needs. When house sitting I do not schedule any other families for walks or drop-ins. The care I provide is all inclusive so that your baby gets all of my love and care. If I am not house sitting, I’m available everyday after 11am for walks and drop-ins within a 1 mile radius of lower Rockridge or easily reachable by public transportation. To ensure safety and comfort, I won’t be walking any other dogs outside of your household. I am available to spend time with your pet(s) in their home where they will be the most comfortable. I’ll come to you for walks.

“Our cat is very shy and cat sitters barely see him when doing check-ins. Somehow Rebecca gained his trust on the second day and he was comfortable being approached and pet. It made us feel better being away knowing that our cat wasn’t hiding the whole time we were gone. I’d definitely reach out to Rebecca again in the future.”
