“Beth kindly took last-minute request to cat sit when our previous cat sitter was unavailable and did an immediate meet and greet. She was very easy-going and responsive. She did the visit after and all kitties seemed happy and fed.”

About: Local to Bay Area/Crockett for 2026 holiday sitting — I am very interested in providing my services ASAP, please reach out if you’re interested in booking! Happy to answer any and all questions. Thanks. Hi friend! I am an animal lover through and through and I’d love to better utilize my flexibility by being a compassionate resource to those pets who need some extra love, attention, support, exercise, or fresh air when you’re simply not as available as you wish you could be. I have been entrusted to dogsit for several friends pups (of all sizes) and many cats, and was lucky enough to share 13 years with my dog Gunther and 12 years with my gray shorthair cat Wilbur. My darling 14-year-old kitty now gets all the extra love! I look forward to lightening your load and showing your pet the same love and attention I’d show my own! Availability flexible for now, may be more restricted in the future. I look forward to meeting your pet, please do not hesitate to ask me if you have any questions at all. ♥️ *Currently accepting requests within a ~25 mile radius of Crockett, CA - just ask!*
“Telena is super personable and you can tell she takes pride in her services. She was always on time and always gave a detailed description of what the visit entailed and always included pictures, which as you know pet parents love to see pics of their fur babies when they’re away lol. She was also very patient with our super shy kitty who usually hides anytime she meets someone new, but Telena was able to lure her out of hiding with patience and treats which was such great news! I will be using her service again! Thanks again!!”

About: I have loved animals ever since I was young! I have a senior dog myself who I've been taking care of for 13 years. I'm very active so I love going on walks. I have experience also taking care of cats when my neighbors would be out of town. I do prefer to only take care of two animals max per household.
About: I'm a retired officer, background-checked through Rover, and have more than 10 years of experience caring for my own dogs as well as friends', family members', and clients' pets. Throughout my career and personal life, responsibility, trustworthiness, and attention to detail have always been important to me, and I bring those same qualities to every pet I care for. In 2016, I adopted Barney the Shih Tzu, followed by Jack in 2019. Both were estimated to be about four years old at the time. In 2025, Jack passed away from bone cancer, giving me firsthand experience caring for a senior dog with significant medical needs. In 2022, I rescued Penny, the white pup in my profile photo. Certifications & Experience • Cat & Dog First Aid (American Red Cross) • Experience administering oral medications • Experience caring for senior pets and pets with special needs • Experience caring for dogs and cats of various ages, sizes, and temperaments, including a large Rottweiler I believe every pet deserves patience, kindness, consistency, and individualized care. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, senior and slower-paced, or simply happiest sticking to a familiar routine, my goal is to provide dependable care while helping them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine, and I'm home much of the time. This allows me to provide regular companionship, potty breaks, feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and supervision throughout the day. Because I intentionally limit the number of pets I care for at one time, I am able to provide a more personalized level of attention and maintain a calmer environment for the pets in my care. Whether caring for pets in my home or in a client's home, I strive to maintain their normal routine as closely as possible. Consistency helps pets feel comfortable, secure, and relaxed while their owners are away. My schedule is generally flexible, allowing me to accommodate a variety of care needs, including daycare, overnight care, drop-in visits, and pet sitting in a client's home. Pick-up and drop-off service may be available depending on distance and scheduling. My dogs are part of the family and spend much of their time relaxing near us, on the furniture, or curled up on a lap. Visiting pets are treated with the same level of care, attention, and companionship while in my home. Dogs are welcome on furniture unless owners request otherwise. I intentionally limit the number of guest dogs I accept at one time to help create a calm, safe, and low-stress environment. This allows me to provide close supervision and a more personalized experience than many high-volume pet care settings. If you prefer your dog to be crated for sleeping, feeding, or when unattended, I'm happy to accommodate as long as a crate is provided. Visiting dogs should be reasonably housebroken, with exceptions considered on a case-by-case basis for puppies and special circumstances. Meet-and-greets are strongly preferred whenever possible before services begin. They allow me to learn about your pet's personality, needs, and comfort level while helping determine whether my home and care style are a good fit. When caring for pets in a client's home, I respect both the pet's routine and the owner's home, providing dependable care, companionship, exercise, and attentive supervision. I believe every pet deserves patience, kindness, consistency, and respect. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable environment where pets can feel relaxed, secure, and well cared for while their owners are away.
About: Currently taking reservation for November and December!! Limited spots still available on calendar :) Hello! My name is Hosana and I am currently an undergraduate college student at UCSD. I have loved animals for as long as I could remember! Growing up in a smaller home, I was never able to own a dog of my own, but being obsessed with animals, I wouldn't let this stop me from being around them an gaining as much experience as I could by taking care of pets for friends and family throughout my life. Eventually I started working at a local doggy daycare/ pet boarding facility in Walnut Creek known as, North Main Pet Lodge. I have about a year's worth of experience working professionally with a multitude of different dog breeds and taking care of their daily needs. I've worked with both dogs and cats, and other small animals such as hamsters, rabbits, and such and know how to administer medication, bathe, feed, and do other tasks related to pet care. Staying flexible and knowing how to deal with all sorts of situations is something I have come to be very acquainted with through my work experience. Communication is of big importance to me and making sure all pet parents stay informed throughout their stay away from their pets. Currently I am working on my finishing my degree online and no longer need to attend classes on campus. Therefore I will be in the bay area permanently and am looking to work with those who need the occasional sitter. Have been actively sitting for my clients since 2025. Please feel free to contact me and help this college student out with your business, as I also look forward to spending time with your pets! Thanks for reading :) Currently taking online classes. Would be ideal for pet parents who want someone to be at the house often for daily routine, but also able to step away for up to 4 hrs at a time few days of the weekdays (usually Mon, Fri). Weekends I am almost always available all day. Almost always at home for morning, afternoon potty breaks, evening, overnight. When in a client's home, the pet's safety and health are my number one concern. With my experience, I have learned several tricks that help with a variety of temperaments and personalities that each dog has. I also believe in being respectful of my client's homes and will take that very seriously. Overall, any specific concerns or lists can be communicated to me and I will make sure to keep an open line of communication.
About: I have over 4 years of professional experience working with animals, including 2½ years at a dog boarding and daycare facility where I cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments. This includes hands-on experience with both energetic puppies and senior dogs requiring extra patience, gentle care, and attention to comfort and mobility needs. My experience includes walking, feeding, bathing, nail trimming, teeth brushing, medication administration, and monitoring group play to ensure every pet stays safe and happy. I am also certified in pet first aid and CPR, so you can feel confident your pet is in capable, prepared hands. I have experience administering medications and following detailed care instructions for pets with special needs, including seniors and dogs requiring consistent routines. I’ve grown up around dogs and have a lifelong love for animals and I currently have two cats of my own. I’m also familiar with multi-pet households, as my mom has a 5-year-old terrier mix, brother has reptiles and I’ve provided pet sitting for family and friends over the years who have multiple pets. I’m currently in college working toward veterinary school, so caring for animals isn’t just a job—it’s my passion and future career. I genuinely enjoy working with pets at every life stage, from playful puppies to senior companions, and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I work full time and am also a part-time college student, but I am very flexible with scheduling, especially in the evenings. My work schedule is provided one week in advance, which allows me to plan ahead and accommodate bookings as needed. I also typically have 2–3 full days off each week, which I can dedicate to providing full-day care and attention for pets. I am happy to adjust my availability to fit your pet’s routine whenever possible. I also offer overnight stays, ensuring your pets receive consistent care, including morning feedings, walks, and attention so they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. I offer overnight stays in my home; however, I do require a meet and greet with my dog beforehand to ensure both dogs are comfortable and get along well. I also provide overnight stays in your home so your pet can remain in their familiar environment, which helps reduce stress and maintain their normal routine. This is often the best option for pets who feel most secure in their own space. I have experience with transporting pets safely when needed, as well as crate training and crating routines. I am very attentive to maintaining each pet’s daily schedule, including feeding times, walks, medication administration, and bedtime routines to ensure consistency and comfort while you’re away. You can trust that I will treat your home and your pet with the utmost respect, care, and responsibility at all times.
About: I’m Xaniah, nice to meet you! My love for animals transcends every species, size, and personality :) Having so much knowledge from my life shared with animals, I was always drastically ahead of my peers when it comes to pet care. I’m committed to caring for each fur baby as if it was my own. I know each pet has their own little personality and I always try my best adapting to each one. New clients, let’s schedule a meet & greet before accepting any booking! I prefer learning about their needs face to face so you and your pup can become acquainted with me. If you have any questions, feel free to ask :) Thank you for reading and I hope to meet you and your fur baby soon! Only working Sat-Mon, and can take any days off if needed. Low maintenance WFH job during the week so I can give my attention to your pets! Whether your pet is in my home or yours, you can trust that safety is my highest priority and neither your fur baby or your home will be in jeopardy! I treat every animal and home as if it was my own, and leaving both cleaner than I found them. No pet, furniture, or Neiman Marcus vase shall be harmed in my presence :)
“Jessica did an outstanding job with daily drop-ins with our two cats. She was professional, communicative, and flexible - we would highly recommend her to anyone in the Walnut Creek area. The easiest 5-star review I've ever had!”


About: Hi there!

I treat every animal like family and pride myself on being patient, attentive, and dependable. Senior dogs hold a special place in my heart 🐶💛 I have 2 tiny senior pups at home who love new friends. Looking forward to meeting your furry loved ones! I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. I do have 2 small dogs as well who are good with cats and dogs. Safety is my number one priority right next to comfort. Every fur baby should feel right at home when visiting Auntie Maddy’s house, no matter what.

About: Hi! My name is Vivi and I love dogs. (Actually, I love all animals!) I grew up with family dogs and adopted my own last year (she's a complete sweetie). I also have a cat, a bearded dragon, and fish. I worked in a local dog daycare and hotel for over three years and loved it! Now that I'm in a graduate program, I couldn't keep up the hours but missed the dogs. My favorite part of that job was walking the dogs and now I'd love to walk your dog. I really enjoy connecting with each dog, getting to know their personalities, taking care of them, and giving them the attention, stimulation, and fun that comes from being together and enjoying the day. I am currently working on my clinical hours for my degree and am busy Monday and Wednesday after noons 1-5pm and Thursdays at the same time and at 7am-10am every other week. Any other time is all good for me! When I take care of a pet, I care for them in any ways that they might need. I have had experiences with reactive dogs, dogs with specific medical needs, young dogs who are practicing training still, and senior dogs. I want to do what is most comfortable for the dog and am super happy to accommodate for any needs that they have when caring for them! I have experience reading and reacting to cat and dog body language and know when my presence is invited by them and when they might need more space. It's important to look for the animals consent and comfort when working with and taking care of them so they can remain as happy and stress free as possible!
“Wonderful sitter for my anxious kitty. Cristina was caring and attentive to my kitty's needs... an obvious animal lover. Communication and updates throughout my kitties stay were much appreciated.”


About: I’m a lifelong animal lover and currently have two cats of my own, so I’m very familiar with feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, and making sure they’re happy and comfortable. I’ve also had a dog in the past and helped care for him by feeding him and taking him on walks. I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, and I’m patient, dependable, and attentive to their routines. I’ll follow your care instructions closely and treat your pets with the same care and attention I give my own. I currently have a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to provide reliable pet care throughout the week. I’m available for drop-in visits and walks during the day, as well as evenings and weekends. I’m happy to work around each pet’s normal routine and make sure they get the care and attention they need while their owner is away. I always follow the owner’s care instructions and try to keep each pet’s routine as normal and comfortable as possible. In a client’s home, I make sure doors and gates are secure, food and water are taken care of, litter boxes or pet areas are kept clean, and pets get the attention, playtime, or space they need. I’m respectful of both the pet and the owner’s home, and I’ll provide updates so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is safe and well cared for.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Benicia
Thea has been cat sitting for my family for 2-3 years on Rover, whenever we go out of town. When we come home, the cats are always perfectly taken care of, and just mildly annoyed and dramatic, as you’d expect cats to be :) Thea is always super responsive and we trust her completely in our home.

Linda was very gracious and flexible to help out when I made last-minute plans to my trip. She continued to send daily photos of my kitty Scooter during daily check-ins, which left me feeling relieved to see him getting some socialization. Loved the videos she sent of her petting and talking to him!

Telena has watched our shy kitty only twice, but has somehow managed to bring her out of her shell!! It normally takes our cat a long time before she warms up to people and she will usually just hide the whole time. But this time she came out and hung out with Telena which is so cool to see! Telena is super patient and kind with our cat, and very responsive while we’re out of town. I highly recommend her services !! Thanks Telena !!
