Pet Sitting Berkeley

About: I grew up with two dogs and have a lot of experience walking and caring for them, including senior dogs. My childhood dog lived to 17 and lived with me in the last year of his life. I have so much gratitude for the sitters and walkers who helped us care for him. I just moved back to the Bay Area and I'm excited to become a Rover sitter and walker myself! I have a flexible schedule working from home and would love spend time walking your dog and giving them attention and love! I'm currently self-employed and working from home, so I'm flexible to go for walks or drop in to check on your pup during the day or in the evenings! I'm happy to take your dog for long walks, play with them at home, and whatever else you need, whether it's a walk, feeding, drop-in, or something else!

“V was absolutely wonderful. They took excellent care of our diabetic kitty, who has multiple daily medications to take. They were very detail oriented, always on time, and regular with updates. Unexpectedly, we received some very large packages while we were out, and V kindly moved those into the house for us!!”

“Alix was great with Ivy. She kept us well-informed and asked questions when she wasn’t sure about something. We look forward to booking her again.”

“Natalie was a great cat sitter for my 16 year old hairless cat. She was thoughtful, reliable, punctual, and followed instructions perfectly. The photos of him licking his chops or emerging from his blankets were so cute! Thank you so much Natalie! I plan to call you again.”

“Erika was lovely and super caring of our girl. Can’t express how calm I felt knowing Nova was in such good hands. Would love to have her again 💕”

“Rong is fantastic! She’s taken care of my kitty a couple of times now and always does a great job. She’s been super accommodating to last minute schedule changes, and is always kind and thorough. My cat loves her and I feel so much better leaving knowing Rong is watching her!”

About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember, 20 years with cats and, more recently, 6 hands-on years with dogs, including newborn puppy and kitten care. Whether it’s a long walk, a game of fetch, or quiet cuddle time, my priority is always making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. 🐾 I recently finished my Master’s degree and I’m now working toward my LPCC license to become a therapist. That means I’m fully available right now, 7 days a week from 6am to 10pm, to walk, play with, and care for your pets. 🐾 I’ll make sure your pet is well hydrated throughout our time together and takes any breaks they need. Whether it’s a walk around the block, a park visit, or quiet time at home, making sure your pet has fun and feels safe is always my top priority. 🐶🐱

About: I had a German Shepherd growing up. I felt very close to him. I currently don’t own a dog, but I’d love to own one someday. I often get to see and spend time with my sister’s dog who I love so much, and I always look forward to seeing him. I believe that I’ll be a great dog sitter. I currently don’t have any other job, so I’ll have plenty of time to look after people’s dogs. I’ll make great use of my days caring for people’s dogs. I’ll care for people’s dogs in their homes by feeding, playing with them, and taking them out for walks. I’ll be great company for the dogs.

“Super thorough with our kitties, I really liked how she wanted to meet them first before dropping in while we were gone. Her updates were detailed, you can tell she puts effort and care into the drop ins and it made me feel better about being away from the kitties.”

“Sheryl took care of our two cats for a week over Christmas and she did a great job! We felt comfortable leaving our cats in her care and came home to happy and healthy kitties. She followed all instructions and took excellent care of them.”

“Paige is absolutely wonderful!!! She is always on time, my dog lights up when she sees her and she’s always sure to check in and take pics!! A true life saver!! :)”

“My dog is very wary of strangers. And after 3 short visits he was crawling into Thomas’ lap. Cannot recommend highly enough!!!”

“Cassandra has been a fantastic sitter. She goes above and beyond to make sure my new puppy is well cared for (and handled many logistical mishaps on my part with grace). She is very communicative and will also ask for more direction beyond what's listed on my profile. I will happily be a repeat client.”

About: I am a long time caregiver for human adults with disabilities and animals in the bay area. I am reliable, attentive and adaptive to the needs of animals and people in my care. I am comfortable caring for pets in need of extra hygiene or medical/wound care. I am a foster through Berkeley humane. I provide doggy day care for people in my social network. I have raised a few batches of kittens. I will treat your pet as if they were my own. My counterpart and dog, Milkshake, is a great host and adapts well to the personality and boundaries of visiting pups. He is also great at bringing out visiting dogs' playful sides, and your pup will likely return home having been expelled all of their zoomies. I understand how important our pets are to all of us, one thing I love to do while caring for someones pet is to send them multiple photos/videos per day to show what their fur baby is getting up to. I get anxious when I am away from my dog too long and worry about him so I know how it goes, your pet will be well taken care of with me. I am a work from home data engineer working out of my home in peaceful North Berkeley. My workday schedule is very flexible with ample opportunity for several short walks around the neighborhood throughout the day. I live in a 6 bedroom home in North Berkeley, an established grouphouse with 4 other folks in their late 20s. We have a peaceful, fun and stress free home. I have a fenced front hard with enough room for zoomies and easy access for potty breaks. I have a large sunny back deck for dog sunbathing. I also have a working fireplace for warming up the paws during the cold/rainy season. My housemates are great with animals and provide additional attention, pets and socialization (2 work from home, 2 work out of the home).

“Amazing communication and was able to take care of harvey very last minute on a holiday weekend. So appreciated!!”

Your dog will enjoy constant companionship throughout the day, with plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. Since pet sitting is my full-time job, I can closely follow your dog's routine, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special care they may need. One of the best parts of my home is the cozy private garden, where dogs can safely explore, relax, and soak up the sunshine. We're also just a short walk from San Pablo Park, a beautiful dog-friendly park that offers plenty of space for exercise, sniffing adventures, and fun outdoor play. I believe every dog deserves patience, kindness, and respect. Whether your pup is energetic, shy, a senior, or a puppy, I'll care for them according to their unique personality and needs. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can enjoy peace of mind while you're away. My goal is simple: to make your dog feel safe, happy, and loved—as if they were part of my own family. I can't wait to welcome your furry friend into my home! In addition, I’ve had dogs for over 16 years and truly understand how to care for animals with patience and love. I also have experience rescuing and helping stray dogs and cats, so I’m very attentive to different personalities, emotions, and special needs. My doggies back in China are all rescued and adopted by me and my family. I’m comfortable caring for both dogs and cats, including senior pets who need extra patience and gentle attention.

I pay close attention to their behavior and comfort to help them feel relaxed and secure while their owners are away. In my home, pets receive plenty of supervision, affection, clean spaces, fresh water, and regular exercise. In my client’s home, I respect the pet’s familiar environment and maintain their normal routine as closely as possible to reduce stress. I also send regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident that their pets are happy and well cared for.

About: For the last four years I’ve lived in a home with two Rhodesian Ridgebacks. One was a senior at 13 years old and the other is three. I’ve learned how to adapt to their different needs based on age and personality while setting boundaries and aligning to my Housemate’s desires for their care. (Which has helped me get to know new dogs pretty quickly.) We walk, play and cuddle. When needed I administer medication, feed them, and sometimes cook for them. I look forward to chatting with you about your family’s needs. When house sitting I do not schedule any other families for walks or drop-ins. The care I provide is all inclusive so that your baby gets all of my love and care. If I am not house sitting, I’m available everyday after 11am for walks and drop-ins within a 1 mile radius of lower Rockridge or easily reachable by public transportation. To ensure safety and comfort, I won’t be walking any other dogs outside of your household. I am available to spend time with your pet(s) in their home where they will be the most comfortable. I’ll come to you for walks.

About: I genuinely love dogs and have hands-on experience helping friends who sit professionally. I’m patient with puppies, attentive to seniors, and focused on building trust, safety, and fun. As a STEM student at UC Berkeley, I have free breaks and especially open weekends, which I love spending walking, caring for, and bonding with dogs. In clients’ homes, I follow feeding routines, give walks, refresh water, offer play or comfort, clean up after them, and share photo updates for reassurance.
