House Sitting in Bancroft

“Erika was very sweet and took great care of our old boy, Watson. He was well loved while we were away. Erika was also very respectful of our house. We will try to have her over again!”

“Rachael rearranged her plans at the last minute to spend the weekend with Izzy and Thor, and I couldn’t be more grateful. She went above and beyond to make sure they were cared for and happy!!”

“Rebecca has been house sitting for Mikko and Kona most of this year, and she is absolutely fantastic with them! She is ultra dependable and takes care of them! She has even helped with some other friend’s dogs when they were in a bind. I could not be more grateful for Rebecca and her care!!”

“Halona is the best! She took care of our two dogs for a week and is amazing to work with. We have one dog who can be fearful of strangers and she warmed up to Halona quickly. We loved the texts we got daily with pics of our dogs adventures. We plan on having Halona watch our fur-babies whenever we leave town. Highly recommended!”

“Anne was wonderful with my puppy. And she was super communicative throughout the booking process and while we were away. She let me know when she had arrived which gave me peace of mind and texted me a pic during her stay. I have already booked her to come back twice more!”

“Virginia was a lifesaver! We needed a dog/house sitter last minute, and she gladly accepted without hesitation. She even showed up at 5 AM when we were panicking about our puppy Chico barking and the neighbors possibly complaining. That alone already meant so much to us. She took such great care of Chico, played with him, kept him entertained, and he genuinely seemed to have an amazing time with her. We came home to a happy pup and a clean house, which says everything about how thoughtful and responsible she is. We’re super grateful for her help and would absolutely book her again. Highly recommended! 💛🐾”

“Lisa is an absolute asset to any household with fur babies. You can tell who’s a genuine animal lover pretty quickly. She’s very diligent in understanding their personalities, needs and how to cater to them as well as keep them happy and stimulated. She’s trustworthy, communicative and is loved by our pets. Highly recommend.”

About: I'm a responsible adult. I don't smoke or do drugs- never have. I have 2 dogs and 2 cats. I will treat your home & pets with the utmost care and respect- as if they were my own. I'm currently doing project work so my time is flexible for sitting or walks. I have always had pets in my life- fish, dogs, cats, hamsters, geckos- and they always bring joy to our household. Currently I am only sitting in client's homes in order to give your pets the care and attention they need. I am honest, trustworthy, and super responsive.

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and have always considered them part of the family. I’m a proud new dog mom to a 3 1/2-year-old boy, and he means the world to me. I promise to care for your dog with the same love and attention as I would my own. I’m working from home right now with a flexible schedule, so I can take him for walks during the day and stay close to him. I have a private, enclosed patio that ensures my dog stays safe and secure at home. I'm always here to keep him company during meals, playtime, and whenever he needs attention.

About: Hi! I’m Efraim, a lifelong dog lover based in Walnut Creek. I’ve cared for everything from tiny Papillons, Maltese and Shih Tzus to large breeds like German Shepherds, Belgian Malinois, Swiss Shepherds and Golden Retrievers. I’m equally comfortable with puppies, seniors, and dogs with special needs or behavioral challenges. I live locally and prioritize clients close to home for reliable service and minimal travel time. I offer walks, drop-ins, multi-dog walks, overnight house-sitting, and transport services — as an experienced professional driver, I can safely transport pets (or owners and pets together) to vet appointments, groomers, or airports. What I Offer: • Dependable walks and drop-ins 7 days a week • Multi-dog or single-dog walks for any size breed • Overnight stays / house-sitting with respect for your home and routine • Pet transport (airport runs, vet visits, errands) • Clear updates with photos and Rover cards • Special focus on busy professionals and seniors needing regular help Why Choose Me: • Local to Walnut Creek so can quick, reliable response in the area • Experienced across all sizes and ages of dogs • Professional driver — safe transport available • Certified in Pet First Aid & CPR (basic) with advanced training underway • Deep family roots in the area and strong personal references I would be happy to meet you and your pet for a free Meet & Greet to discuss your needs and discuss a schedule that keeps your dog healthy and happy. Availability: 7 days a week (morning through early evening) Service Area: Walnut Creek and nearby neighborhoods Intro Pricing: Half-hour Walks $20–22 · Extended Walks $30–35 · Drop-Ins $15–18 · Overnights $65–85 Contact me through Rover to schedule your Meet & Greet today! I have just joined Rover and am taking on new clients from 5:00am to 7:00pm, and I am generally available 7 days a week. I welcome clients with a regular repeating schedule, short notice requests, and periodic "substitute pet care" needs when your regular walker or sitter is unavailable. Safety is always my number one concern. Let's review all of your pet's special needs and requirements together and develop a plan that works best for them and for you. I have many strong local personal references I can provide. For walks, I invite you to track my location (through my mobile phone) so you know where your pet is at all times. If you are looking for a pet-sitter at your home, my references will assure you that I will treat your home with care and respect — and your pets with loving attention. For overnight sits, I bring my own inflatable mattress and linens so yours remain untouched.

“Crystal is a life-saver. She took amazing care of our older dog and cat while we were out of town. This was our first time using house sitting and Crystal went out of her way to make sure we knew our pets were safe and cared for with regular updates and pictures. Highly recommended!”

“Sumaira took great care of our pup; she was happy and healthy when we got home. She even shared photos with us of our girl on her walks and enjoying spending time with Sumaira at home. The house was neat as a pin. I couldn't recommend her more highly.”

“Alex was amazing- I had a very last minute overnight work event come up, and had to figure out someone to take care of my 8 month old puppy with less than a full day's notice. My pup has some anxiety and nerves (like puppy like parent?) and I was so worried to leave him, but Alex was phenomenal. He was responsive to texts, kept me updated, and when I got home, my pup was so happy I absolutely knew Alex had done an amazing job making him feel comfortable and secure. Will 💯 use Alex again, and would recommend him to anyone.”

“Ian watched Boone for several hours while my boyfriend and I attended an event, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. He was very communicative and sent us pictures throughout the visit, which gave us total peace of mind knowing Boone was in great hands. We also asked a LOT of questions about training and his experience with similar breeds, and Ian was incredible patient, knowledgeable, and helpful. Boone was happy and well cared for and we truly appreciated Ian’s professionalism and kindness. We would absolutely book with him again!”

“Once again Tania was absolutely amazing. We have a very spoiled, special needs cat and Tania always follows all of our instructions and requests with a smile. We also have a lot of plants that need attention - during a heat wave while we were gone she ensured everything was watered and still green when we returned. We can go on vacation and truly relax knowing our fur baby and our home is in good hands.”

“We booked Lexx last minute after our original Rover sitter canceled, and we’re so glad we did. She stayed in our home for 10 days while we were traveling internationally and took excellent care of our elderly dog and cat. Despite their age and special needs, Lexx handled everything with ease. Even our typically shy cat became friendly with her, which was a great sign. Lexx was also communicative throughout our trip, sending us thoughtful updates every few days and letting us know when smaller issues came up. She kept up with our plants, brought in the mail, and left the house spotless. Coming home to calm, happy pets and a clean home was a huge relief. We wouldn’t hesitate to book her again and highly recommend her to anyone needing a responsible and caring sitter.”

“Sierra was wonderful with our pups. We had a last minute need for a pet sitter for our 2 Border Collies who have some specialized needs. Both dogs immediately fell in love with Sierra. She gave them the care they needed while we were gone and followed all our special requests to make sure the dogs were safe and happy. She asked all the right questions to make sure she knew their quirks and what helps with reactivity, anxiety, etc. She also was very communicative and sent lots of pics and messages to keep us informed while we were gone. We'll definitely be requesting her and Karma's services in the future!”

“Charissa was wonderful with Kona. She was home quite a bit, gave her medication twice a day, took her on walks, and cuddled. Exactly what I was hoping for. I have already passed Charissa's info on to other friends and family.”

“Mia was amazing with Bear!!! She took such good care of him and he loved her. Was super communicative and I loved how excited she was to watch our pup. We’ll definitely reach out to Mia again :)”

“Heather took great care of our little dog Dazey. She paid attention to her needs and asked questions if she noticed anything unexpected. Appreciated her attentive care of our little girl.”
