“Benny had fun with Chad. He sent me video and pics and made me feel Benny was in great hands. I will definitely have Chad watch Benny in the future.”

“Kristen and Ryan were incredibly warm and accommodating when first meeting my small and nervous doggie. They showed their home and clearly demonstrated a level of care and experience that gave me a lot of comfort and would definitely rebook. They were also attentive of how our dogs interacted and made sure they experienced little to no distress. Highly recommend their services 🩷”

“Derrick took such great care of Roux Roux! 🐾💛 He stayed on top of his medication and feeding schedule, walked him daily, and gave him lots of love and cuddles. He also sent plenty of pictures and updates, which really put me at ease, especially since this was Roux’s first time staying with him. I felt confident knowing Roux was in such good hands. I would definitely recommend Derrick and will absolutely book with him again!”

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and genuinely love caring for them. I have a 8 year old Miniature Pinscher, Norman, who has taught me a lot about patience, routines, and making dogs feel safe and comfortable in their own way. (I don’t have him with me full time) I’m comfortable with dogs of different personalities and energy levels, and I’m happy to follow your pup’s usual routine, whether that means long walks, playtime, plenty of cuddles, or simply keeping them company. I’ll treat your dog like my own and keep you updated while you’re away. I am home in the morning and evenings on the weekdays. I am free to take your pets out on walks every couple hours or as needed. I prioritize safety and trust by maintaining a clean, secure environment for pets. I ensure their routines are followed, provide plenty of playtime and affection, and always keep a close eye on them to prevent any accidents. Your pets will feel comfortable and cared for in my home or yours. I have a fenced in yard as well

“My second time boarding my senior dachshund with Eiko and he had such a great time. Eiko did a great job of keeping my posted with updates and pictures, but not so frequent that I was worried or checking my phone too much. My dog seemed to have a great time and my trip away was pretty worth-free. I would happily book with Eiko again!”

About: I’ve grown up with cats and kittens my whole life and continued adopting them as an adult — animals have always been at the heart of my home! I’ve raised and trained a puppy from 8 weeks old, cared for up to 3 medium-sized dogs at a time, and have experience housing and caring for rabbits, birds, and reptiles too. 🐶🐱🐰🦜🐸🦎 Your pet will be welcomed into a warm, loving home where they’ll be treated like family! I’m also a pet parent myself — my 1-year-old pup and 9-year-old cat are both incredibly friendly with people and other animals and absolutely love making new friends. They’re always excited to welcome new furry guests! 🐕🐈 I believe pet sitting is so much more than just filling a food bowl twice a day — it’s about being real company for your pet. Surrounded by cozy blankets, their favorite toys from home, and plenty of love, your pet will feel comfortable and right at ease from the moment they arrive. I’m happy to provide multiple daily walks and plenty of undivided attention throughout the day!

“Hikaru & John took amazing care of my fur baby. They asked for all his needs and give him ton of attention. They took him for walks and a hike so he can get his energy out. Appreciate them! And their care for my sweet fur baby. Highly recommend them.”

“Mary was absolutely amazing! I am extremely grateful for all of the updates and videos from her during my dogs stay with her. She was super attentive to my dogs schedule and needs (or more so mine for peace of mind). Would def use her again and recommend her! My dog seemed happy and comfortable with her (and her dog). Thank you Mary!”

About: I'm based in downtown Oakland and am available to walk (30 or 60 minutes), sit, and/or board any day of the week at this time. I'm experienced with senior dogs, puppies, dogs of various sizes and temperaments, as well medicated pets. I work part time from home with considerable flexibility in my schedule. Dogs have been a part of my life since I raised and trained Herman, a Rottweiler, from puppyhood while I was in high school. As an adult, I fostered Jedi, a Pittie–Boxer mix, for a year and shared eight wonderful years caring for Frankie, my beloved senior puggle, with my partner. Although Jedi and Frankie have recently passed and are now foraging and feasting in heaven, I remain an honorary step-parent to several dogs. Friends have trusted me to walk and care for Esco, a Frenchie–Pittie and lovable bundle of nerves; Mort the pug, an adorable narcissist; Pretzel, a German Shepherd who can outrun and outsmart anyone at the dog park; and Ryordan, a sweet, snaggle-toothed senior Chihuahua. These experiences have made me comfortable caring for dogs of different sizes, ages, energy levels, and temperaments—including anxious and senior pups. I take their walks, meals, playtime, comfort, and naps as seriously as my own. I would love the opportunity to give your pup plenty of attentive, dependable care—and, experience suggests, they’ll soon love me back. I currently have considerable autonomy in my schedule. I'm available to walk, care for, or keep your pup company anytime after 10 AM most days. I live on the ground floor of a Victorian and have small fenced backyard where your dog can sniff around, play, and catch some rays.

“Ekaterina was a wonderful sitter for my senior dog, Thor! She was very easy to communicate with and provided lots of updates and pictures while I was away. She even taught my dog a new trick! I can tell my dog was very happy and comfortable with her. I would definitely book her again!”

Caroline S.

“Liza turned out to be exactly the right person to board and walk my 70 lb. golden retriever. She communicated with me, was dependable and my dog liked her a lot. Liza took my dog to various nearby parks and hiking trails. Highly recommended”

“Melina was our first Rover experience and she made the process so welcoming. We'd never left our dog overnight with someone he didn't know – he's anxious, reactive and has separation anxiety, so it was important to us that we worked with with someone who understands and is patient with him. Melina was all of that and more! Within hours she had him snuggling up to her, and by the evening he was sleeping curled up next to her head. We got regular updates throughout the stay (including pictures) and felt so at-ease knowing he was well cared for. We would absolutely recommend Melina as a Rover, and especially for anyone with a special needs dog or a shy pup. She was amazing!”

About: I have 21 years of hands-on experience raising my own loving pitbulls, singing with a pack of opinionated huskies, and working with fosters. Whether it’s walks, pets and a calming presence, or special attention to medications (eye and oral) for specific needs, I aim to make each outing a tail-wagging success! I am currently pursuing a second bachelor’s degree in nursing. My lectures are remote, and my in-person commitment is minimal, leaving me plenty of availability and flexibility to make sure that your family members are taken care of to the best of my ability! Afternoons after 12pm - 9pm are ideal but your dog is the priority and I can accommodate most needs. Coming from a background in emergency medicine, I know that trust and safety are two of the highest priorities for caretakers of any kind. I emphasize that I am a guest into homes, and that the well-being of furry family members is the highest priority. Even the most unique needs should be met!

“Albina was great with our dog! He can be very particular about people but he loved her, & got lots of walks & outings! She was super patient with him & we got great updates while we were gone. We would love for our dog to hang with her again!”
