About: Hi, I’m Kelly! I’m a passionate, timely & reliable pet/ animal lover and can’t wait to connect with you! I have a 12 year old Dachshund mix whom i’ve had since she was only a couple months old. l’ve also pet & house sat for many friends, neighbors, and family members. With my many years of experience, I’m prepared to give your pet(s) the best care possible while you’re away! :) I am available for house sittings, drop-ins, and walks, and am willing to provide around-the-clock care for your pet(s) if needed! I am also available for repeat/scheduled visits. Anything from the basics of mealtimes, walks, and playtime for your pet(s), to gathering mail, watering plants, tidying up, etc., I’ve got it covered! From standoffish and shy to energetic and snuggly, I am happy and willing to work with your pet(s) regardless of temperament and will always ensure they get the love and care they deserve! Having an anxious & reactive dog of my own, I understand how important it is to always have patience, quick reaction times, and a watchful eye. I am extremely diligent and responsible, assuring that your home and pet(s) are looked after with careful attention.

About: With 10+ years of animal care experience — including 4 years as a veterinary assistant — I’m especially experienced with seniors, anxious or shy pets, and those needing medications or extra TLC. I’m reliable, calm under pressure, and treat every pet like my own. Providing care for pets fits naturally into my lifestyle — my schedule is intentionally flexible so I can be available when your pets need me most. Whether you need help during long workdays, weekend trips, or last-minute schedule changes, I’m happy to accommodate a wide range of needs. Let me know what your pet’s routine looks like — I’ll do my best to match it, so they feel safe, loved, and right at home while you’re away. Within the client's home, I do everything I can to make their pets feel safe, seen, and loved. I know how important it is to maintain their routine and environment, especially for pets who thrive on familiarity. I take time to build trust, go at their pace, and make sure they feel comfortable with me in their space. Whether it’s a quick drop-in, extended visit, or overnight stay, I’m respectful of both your home and your pet’s boundaries. I always follow instructions carefully, provide updates along the way, and make sure your pet is happy, secure, and well cared for while you’re away. For the health and safety of your pet, I kindly ask that clients provide their own grooming tools — including brushes, combs, nail clippers, styptic powder, and any other essentials your pet is familiar with. Using your pet’s personal tools helps prevent the spread of bacteria, and ensures a safe, and hygienic experience. Your pet’s safety and your peace of mind are always my top priorities.

About: I am very good at training puppies. And have grown up around all different kinds of animals my whole life, from dogs to horses to turtles to chicken and pigs. I am home every day and can pay attention to your pet for as long as you need. And also need to earn some extra cash to help with everyday living. I have a 5 month old puppy at home as well as a 9 year old daughter. So the extra cash really helps out. THANK YOU! My availability is very much open to fit to your schedule, I'm currently not working so I can tend to your pets needs as much as they want. I don't leave any pets unattended when let outside. I usually will hang out in the backyard with them. And I will always make sure that they are comfortable and everything is taken care of anytime before I leave.

About: I've had cats and dogs my whole life, and have helped train puppies as young as 8 weeks old to be ready for adult doghood. I have administered deworming medication, washed dogs numerous times, and love making sure pups are living life to the fullest. I also love being active for high-energy dogs and taking them on walks all around Oakland, exploring different trails, parks, and neighborhoods. I’ve taken care of cats and dogs young and old, and show each of them love, care, and patience as if they were my own. I have a large fenced in yard for dogs to openly play in, and a large home for both dogs and cats to enjoy during their inside time. I can’t wait to meet your pet! I am typically home all day as I work from home, and have plenty of availability. As I work from home and have flexible hours, I'm available for walks, doggy day care , or boarding all week. I'm flexible with working hours and am happy to accommodate your needs! I live in a house with a fenced-in yard, so your pup can play in the yard as well as hang out inside the home. I love going on walks and hikes all around Oakland and the surrounding neighborhoods and parks, and can provide plenty of play for higher-energy animals.

About: I have taken care of dogs and own animals since I was 15 years old. I have fluctuated from having dogs, cats, and even chinchillas! I have used rover in the past for my own animals and know what it is like to be a fur baby mama and how it can be hard and scary to find the right person for the job! I treat every animal like my own, I give them love, patience and attention! All of my animals have been rescues and have all had their own life struggles that has only made me a better mom to them. I work full-time, but it is very flexible and allows me to go and let my dogs out when needed or do drop ins. Weekends, evenings and some Fridays I am completely off work and able to engage in your animals. Safety is a priority! I have had my share of bad Rover experiences and would never want animal parents to go through that! Knowing fully what is needed and what can be done to provide the safest and best care to your animal is priority
