“Ziying was a wonderful cat sitter for our drop-in visits. She is very kind, caring, and easy to communicate with. She kept me updated before visit and shared lots of photos and videos, which I really appreciated. My cats were well taken care of, and I felt completely at ease. I would definitely book Ziying again in the future and highly recommend her.”


About: Hi! My name is Celine. I’m an animal lover with personal experience caring for cats and dogs. I grew up with pets, and for the past three years I’ve been caring for my own Chow Chow. I’m not a professional pet sitter, but I’m responsible, gentle, and have helped foster pets for family friends when needed. This summer, I’ll be in the area on weekday mornings from about 9 AM to 12 PM while my child attends camp nearby. I’d be happy to help with simple pet care needs, such as a short walk, quick check-in, feeding, or fresh water. 嗨,我是Celine,我很喜欢动物,有照顾猫狗和帮亲友寄养宠物的经验,今年夏天因为我自己的孩子参加的夏令营在Fremont 所以我工作日9-12点我都会在附近可以帮忙遛狗,上门喂食换水,短时间陪伴。 I’m a stay-at-home mom and will be in Fremont on weekdays from 9 AM to 12 PM while my child attends summer camp. I’d be happy to help nearby families with short pet visits or walks during that time. I’m the owner of a 2-year-old Chow Chow, whom I walk daily and let enjoy free play in our backyard. I offer walking, feeding, potty breaks, and playtime visits, but I’m currently not offering fostering or overnight care.
“Su is so wonderful with our girl, Harley! She really cares about Harley and it absolutely shows. We so appreciate her fitting us into her schedule with very short notice for these drop-in visits.”

About: I'm a lifelong pet owner with a high-energy Bernedoodle and two cats at home, ages 9 and 6. Between them, I've gotten comfortable with a wide range of care — from training and long walks to administering daily medication and handling a cat with mobility needs. With dogs, I've cared for both small and large breeds and picked up a lot from my own dog's doggy daycare, where I watched professionals handle dogs with totally different temperaments. I'm a confident handler and treat training and attention as part of every walk, not extras. If your dog is working on leash manners or basic commands, I'm happy to reinforce what you're already doing at home. With cats, I'm experienced with meds (pills and liquids), special diets including raw feeding, and the patience it takes with shy or senior animals. One of my own cats has had medical issues his whole life and the other is a tripod, so gentle handling and careful observation are second nature. Whether it's a walk, a drop-in, or longer care, I focus on the basics done well and giving your pet real attention rather than rushing through. I have a flexible weekday schedule and can fit pet care in throughout the day — mornings, midday, and evenings all work. The only standing commitment is my yoga schedule on Tuesdays and Thursdays after 5 PM, when I'm not available. Outside of that, I'm easy to book on weekdays and happy to work around your pet's routine. I offer drop-in visits and dog walks at the client's home — I'm not hosting pets at mine, which keeps things simple and means your pet stays in their own environment with their own routine. For drop-in visits, I take care of the basics thoroughly: fresh food and water, clean litter box or potty break, meds on schedule if needed, and real time spent with your pet rather than rushing through. I also handle the small things that make a difference when you're away — locking up properly on the way out, bringing in mail or packages if you'd like, watering plants, and double-checking doors and windows before I leave. For dog walks, I show up on time, use the leash and gear you've set up, and stick to the route and pace that works for your dog. I pay attention to their energy and body language throughout — adjusting if they're tired, anxious, or want a longer sniff break — and I clean up after them every time. If your dog is working on leash manners or commands, I'm happy to reinforce what you're already doing at home rather than undoing your progress. I send photo and video updates every visit so you know exactly how your pet is doing. If anything seems off — appetite, behavior, a limp, anything — I'll flag it right away and follow your instructions on next steps, including contacting your vet if needed.
About: We treat every furry friend like family. Every guest is different, and we’re happy to adapt to whatever they need — walks, snuggles, playtime, or just a comfy spot to nap. Currently working remotely from home, we have plenty of time and availability to ensure your pet feels safe and loved. Our schedule is very flexible, so feel free to reach out and coordinate a time that works best for you! We live in a quiet 2b1b apartment in a peaceful neighborhood, perfect for relaxed walks and playtime. We also have plenty of experience caring for senior dogs. Our sweet Coco is eleven years old — super sweet, very chill, and absolutely loves her solo nap time!
About: I genuinely care about animals and treat them like family. I enjoy spending time with them and build strong emotional bonds. Many of my friends trust me to care for their pets because I am patient, reliable, and attentive to their needs. I work from home and can regularly visit your home to spend time with your pets, feed them, and play with them on weekdays and weekends. I primarily care for pets in my clients’ homes because I believe they feel safest and most comfortable in their familiar environment. I currently work from home and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to spend extended time with pets during the day — providing companionship, playtime, feeding, and regular check-ins rather than only short visits. When I am in a client’s home, I always respect their space and follow all house rules and care instructions. I keep doors and windows secure, ensure pets stay in safe areas, and never bring visitors or outside animals into the home. I follow each pet’s daily routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, cleaning, and medication if needed, so their lifestyle remains consistent and stress-free. I pay careful attention to body language and behavior to make sure pets feel relaxed and emotionally supported. I provide frequent updates and photos so owners always know how their pets are doing. My goal is to create a calm, safe, and trustworthy environment — and to care for every pet with the same patience and respect I would give to my own family.
About: I have 9 years of hands-on animal rescue experience including fostering, TNR work and caring for pets from outdoor rescues. Through this volunteer work and my unconditional genuine love for all animals, I’ve learned to be patient, observant, and gentle, giving each animal the time and care they need to feel safe and comfortable. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine, and I make sure I have the time and flexibility to give each pet my full attention. I prioritize consistency, clear communication, and unhurried visits so pets feel relaxed and well cared for. I’m especially comfortable caring for rescue pets and understand that trust can take time, so I always move at each pet’s pace and respect their individual boundaries.
“We are regulars with Shirley because she is awesome. She is reliable, on time, and always sends detailed Rover card with information about the visit and lots of pictures. We feel that our cats are safe with Shirley!”


About: Hi, I’m Alex! I’ve done informal pet care for friends and family for about 15 years - if anyone goes out of town, they call me first! Since losing my childhood cat & dog, I’ve struggled to get another pet, but I have so much love to give 💗 I’ve taken care of cats from kitten stage to geriatric palliative care, as well as dogs of all shapes and sizes. Guaranteed to take cute pet photos! I am a full time program manager in the tech industry with very flexible hours. I can adjust my schedule to accommodate walks or drop ins. My service area is wide due to a long commute, so I’m able to cover most clients in the East Bay! I think animals thrive more while remaining in their own environment, so I prefer drop in visits or house sitting over stays in my home. I’ve done up to a 2 week stay with a pet while their owner was abroad. I do have the space for smaller animals within my condo for animals who don’t mind being uprooted!
About: I have several years of experience in dog care, I offer a personalized, loving and responsible service. I specialize in the care of puppies, as well as in the accompaniment of older dogs. What sets me apart is my focus on the emotional well-being of each pet: I don't just take care of it, but I connect. I adapt to their routines, their fears and their needs, as if they were part of my own family. In addition, I send daily updates with photos and comments so that the guardians are always calm. My commitment is to create a safe, stimulating and loving environment, so that your furry friend is happy even when you are not around. Pet care is an essential part of my day-to-day life. I organize my routine according to the needs of each furry friend, ensuring enough time for walks, feeding, play, rest and personalized attention. Whether it's during the week or on weekends, I always reserve specific spaces to provide quality care, without haste and with a lot of dedication. For me, it's not just another task of the day: it's a responsibility that I enjoy and value deeply. Each visit or walk is an opportunity for connection, affection and trust. Whether I take care of pets in my home or in the client's home, my priority is always their safety, well-being, and comfort. I make sure that each space is safe, free of dangerous objects, and adapted to their needs (such as quiet rest areas, play areas, and constant access to fresh water). In my house, dogs are integrated as part of the family: they are not in cages or locked up, but they share spaces with me, with constant supervision, daily walks, and lots of love. I follow their usual routines to make them feel at home, and I keep the environment clean, ventilated, and respectful of the environment. When the care is in the client's home, I absolutely respect their instructions, their rules, and the pet's space. I maintain the cleanliness, routine, and tranquility of the animal to avoid any stress. In addition, I maintain fluid communication with the guardians so that they are always aware of how their furry friend is doing.
“Adriana gave great care to my kitties. My kitties were stray cat and still very shy for human. She loved my kitties and respected them. They looks very comfortable with her ? I asked her to visiting for 10 days. She provided professional care?”

About: I’m a proud dog owner and lifelong animal lover who knows pets are family! I understand how important routines, patience, and lots of love are for happy pups. I’ll always care for your dog like they’re my own with plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and cuddles along the way 🐾 While I have my own dog, I will add what you need into my routine and follow any instructions provided. A dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to trust that someone will follow your animals routine. I care for pets in their home by keeping their routine consistent and stress free. I follow all care instructions closely and make sure pets receive lots of love, attention, walks, playtime, and comfort while their owners are away. I’m reliable, respectful of your home, and happy to provide updates and photos during visits!

Baylands pet parents share their Rover experiences
We couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter! 😊 Sijia was incredibly kind, flexible, reliable, and took such wonderful care of our cat while we were away. From the very beginning, we felt completely comfortable trusting her with both our cat and our home. What meant the most to us was how quickly the two of them connected — our cat loved her right away, and it was obvious that she truly cares about animals and pays attention to every little detail. She kept us updated regularly, which gave us so much peace of mind during our trip, and we could really relax knowing he was in such good hands. We’re so grateful for all the care and love she gave him. We will absolutely book her again for our next vacation and can wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing pet sitter! ❤️

Alex took care of our kitties while we were out of town, and she was great! She was communicative and shared photos every day. We were even shocked that she was able to snag photos of our very shy cats. We definitely recommend her for any of your pet sitting needs!
