“Angelique is the BEST!!! I have an elderly 14 year old Pitmix with high dietary supplement and high care needs. My character-judgung do g took to ger instantly with her loving animal vibe. She was loving, patient and took pics with sweet notes to settle any of my anxiousness about leaving her. She also took amazing care of my shy cat and my mouse. And she did small chores for a minimal fee. Angelique is dependable and when I got home I was so impressed on how she maintained my home and furbabies. We would hire her again as we would look no further!!! Thanks , Angelique 😍🤩”

About: Growing up surrounded by pets of all sizes and species, I've developed a deep understanding of each animal's unique needs. My lifelong love for animals stems from knowing they're truly family members who give us their whole hearts. I'm experienced in administering medications (pills, liquids, and injections) and have experience and am comfortable providing specialized care for pets in recovery. Whether your furry, feathered, or scaled family member needs basic care/companionship, medical attention, or just a walk to get some exercise, I'm here to give them the same love and attention they'd receive from you. Let me give you complete peace of mind while you're away—your pets will be in caring, capable hands! Whether you need someone to stop by or look after your house, I am available 7 days a week. Please provide at least 1 day notice to confirm availability. Since I rent my home I am only able to come to you! I currently reside in Oakland, so I am open and available to any needs within the area.
“Jay was thorough and followed instructions well. We were at ease knowing he was coming to check up on our cats. He was communicative and very helpful, especially when the cats were being mischievous and going into things they’re not supposed to. We look forward to working with him again.”


About: I’ve cared for dogs for over 7 years, including my own. Friends have trusted me with daily walks, feeding, and making sure their pets feel safe and comfortable while away from home. I have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability. I offer boarding on weekdays and weekends, plus dog walking and drop-in visits throughout the day. I provide attentive, routine-based care both in my home and in clients’ homes. Pets get regular walks, bathroom breaks, meals, playtime, and calm, loving attention throughout the day. The same way I do with my pet.
“Stephanie did a great job taking care of our two cats. She sent us pictures each day she visited. She was very prompt and did exactly what we asked of her. Our cats' feeding is a bit complicated and she was very accomodating. We will definitely ask her to pet-sit again.”

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’ve grown up around animals my whole life, and I currently have three dogs and one cat who I love like family. I’ve also cared for several of my aunt’s pets over the years, so I’m very comfortable with different personalities, routines, and needs. I care deeply about animals and their wellbeing, and I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just keeping them company, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’d be happy to give your pets the same level of care and attention! As a senior in high school, I keep a consistent routine that makes it easy to fit in pet care. I’m home before the late afternoon most days, which gives me plenty of time for walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins. On weekends, my schedule is very open, so I am able to spend even more time with pets and be flexible for longer visits or multiple walks. Since I already care for my own pets daily, adding additional pet care fits naturally into my regular routine. If needed, I can adjust my schedule to make sure every pet gets reliable attention and care. When I care for pets in my home, I focus on creating a comfortable environment. I make sure they have all their necessities like water, food, and plenty of play and attention. Since I have three dogs and a cat, I’m used to managing different personalities and making sure everyone gets the type of interaction they need. In a clients home, I’ll ensure to follow their routines closely so the pets feels secure and consistent. I’ll make sure to follow any rules and schedules, and especially make sure to bond with the pet so they feel relaxed while their owner is away!
About: I have extensive experience caring for pets, having grown up with cats and dogs. I am skilled in feeding, cleaning, and providing companionship, and I carefully observe pets’ health and behavior to ensure they feel safe and happy. I have also helped friends and neighbors take care of their pets, always approaching every animal with patience, responsibility, and love. I’m currently studying for exams and only work about two hours a day part-time, so I have plenty of time to focus on taking care of pets . My home is spacious and clean, with both a front yard and a backyard, providing plenty of room for pets to move around and play. There are quiet spots indoors for cats to rest and safe areas for dogs to walk and be active. I make sure to keep the environment tidy and comfortable, ensuring pets have a safe and enjoyable space to live and interact.
“We had Nia drop by twice a day to help take out our 17 yr old dachshund for potty breaks. She was always on time, very professional, and extremely communicative. She also sent lots of photos to let us know how things were going. We will be looking to have Nia do drop-in visits in the future and overnight stays.”

“Nayeli was a life saver! We had to find a Rover during our Spring Break cancellation and Nayeli rose to the occasion. She was very communicative, thorough and loving with our fur babies. When a hiccup with our travels came up, Nayeli was more than willing to stop by again after the job was completed. I really appreciated her notes and photos. I would love to hire Nayeli again!”

About: Rover is an amazing thing in my family's life. Our whole household REALLY LOVES DOGS. We love all the different dog personalities we get to know. We genuinely appreciate pet families trusting us to care for their pet(s). Boarding is our most used and preferred service of the Tree House. We have many regular clients who use our Boarding and Doggy Day Care services. We love all sizes of dogs and the full range of dog personalities. We host up to 4 guest dogs at a time and are very conscientious of the dogs we host and how they will interact. Therefore, if your dog does not do well with other dogs, our house may not be a great fit for your pet. We get requests for exclusive bookings, and where we can accommodate these requests, we will. ****price for exclusive bookings is 2X our service rate, currently $150/night or day care slot**** We require all new clients to do a meet- & -greet, so we can only accommodate last-minute new clients if we get a solid referral from another sitter, you are a friend of the family, or one of our regular clients referred you. We have found our guests do much better when they have been here and sniffed about before their stay. Your dog(s) will be loved and treated with the utmost respect by every member of our household and any other guests. Our home is very relaxed, and our backyard is a dog paradise with lots of shade and different areas for dogs to claim their own space. We always have a crew of dogs, so your dog will have plenty of stimulation and exercise while at our home. We work from home and are here nearly all the time. Pickup and drop-off times are flexible—the key is communication and consideration—fees may apply where either is lacking. The yard has plenty of room for guests to stretch it out and find their own space. We are happy to accommodate crating, and problem children will have some sort of time out until they can ground and be good guests. We are not disciplinarians but are pretty good at setting boundaries thru timeouts and rewards.

Arroyo Viejo pet parents share their Rover experiences
Sarah has taken care of our three cats with great care. She always sends detailed updates of her visit of the cats and what she did during the visit. She was reliable, attentive, and clearly experienced, which gave us peace of mind. On days she couldn’t make the originally scheduled visit, she let us know well in advance at the time of booking and adjusted the plan to ensure our cats were still cared for. We would absolutely book her again and highly recommend her.

She came by for a 30-minute visit to take care of our three dogs: a 16-year-old senior, a spunky tripawd with attitude, and our third pup. She fed them, let them outside, and gave them plenty of love. Everyone was happy when we got home and I’d definitely have her back again!

Andy did a great job caring for my cat while I was away. He sent consistent photos and updates and I felt confident my cat was in good hands. Also, my original flight home was canceled and Andy was quickly able to add on an extra day to make sure everything was taken care of before I could get home. I'd definitely use Andy again next time I need it!

I had the pleasure of meeting Christina and having her stay in our home, and we couldn’t be happier. We have three dogs, and when I came home they were clearly content and well cared for—I know this because they were happily exhausted! Christina sent us the most adorable photos during her stay, which brought us so much peace of mind. Our home looked wonderful as well—honestly, even better than when we left it. Our dogs each have big personalities and very specific needs, and Christina listened carefully and followed everything exactly as we discussed. We are so grateful to have her in our lives now and felt completely confident that our dogs were safe, loved, well fed, and truly cared for. That’s all anyone could ever want. And she is very cool and patient! Lucky us!
Jiaji is an incredibly caring and loving sitter. She took excellent care of my cat, DeeDee, and kept me updated throughout the stay with detailed and thoughtful notes, which gave me so much peace of mind. One day, DeeDee unexpectedly threw up on the couch, and Jiaji handled everything so responsibly—she cleaned it right away and also checked with me to see if DeeDee needed any medication. Her attentiveness and communication really stood out. You can truly feel her genuine love and care for animal friends. We were very happy to have Jiaji as our cat caregiver while we were away, and I would absolutely recommend her to other pet parents.

Jay was thorough and followed instructions well. We were at ease knowing he was coming to check up on our cats. He was communicative and very helpful, especially when the cats were being mischievous and going into things they’re not supposed to. We look forward to working with him again.

Nicola and Mike are the best pet-sitters we could have ever hoped for. They are not only delightful people, but also took such amazing care of our cats and went above and beyond our expectations. They provide excellent communication, updates at every visit (with fun bonus pictures of the mess our cats made), and even cleaned up after our kitties which was not required but very appreciated. They took time to get to know our cats and their unique personalities , and bonded with them in a very short time. I can’t recommend them highly enough and will be booking with them in the future.

Devon did a great job caring for our kitties while we were gone! She was very thorough during the home visits, followed all of the instructions we left for her, let us know if either cat had issues with its food, and played with them and gave them affection. They loved her! We'll definitely be reaching out to Devon for cat care next time we travel.
