Pet Sitting Castro Valley

“Kimberly and her son took amazing care of our three fur babies and our home for three weeks while we had to travel abroad! I always look forward to the detailed updates and pictures of our fur babies 💖 and our cats have gotten to love her and her son! You both are always welcome back to watch our kitties!”

“Yilian was wonderful with our dogs. She provided drop-ins to primarily feed our fur babies; and she ensured their blankets were in their beds, tidied up the garage and yard, and played with them while she was at the house. She communicated well and promptly, sent us updates and pics. We will definitely book Yilian again!”

About: With over 16 years of experience in veterinary medicine and a lifetime of loving and caring for animals, I bring professional knowledge and genuine compassion to every pet I care for. My background includes veterinary assisting, client education, hospital management, and working alongside veterinarians to provide exceptional patient care. I have experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, breeds, and temperaments, including puppies, kittens, seniors, and pets with medical conditions or special needs. I am comfortable administering oral medications, monitoring behavior for signs of illness, following detailed care instructions, and maintaining daily routines. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, and I take the time to build trust, provide enrichment, and ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. My goal is to give pet parents complete peace of mind knowing their furry family member is receiving experienced, attentive, and compassionate care. Pet care has always been a natural part of my life, both personally and professionally. I intentionally schedule my time so I can provide reliable, unhurried care and give each pet the individual attention they deserve. Whether your pet needs a quick potty break, an extended walk, overnight companionship, medication administration, or simply someone to spend quality time with them, I am committed to maintaining their normal routine. I understand that consistency helps pets feel secure, and I pride myself on being dependable, punctual, and flexible whenever possible to meet the needs of both pets and their families. Your pet’s health, safety, and happiness are always my highest priorities. My veterinary background allows me to recognize subtle changes in behavior, appetite, mobility, or overall health that others may overlook. I carefully follow all feeding instructions, medication schedules, exercise requirements, and household routines exactly as requested. When caring for pets in your home, I treat your home with the same respect I would my own while creating a calm, low-stress environment for your pet. I use secure leashes and harnesses during walks, supervise outdoor time, monitor interactions with other animals, and provide plenty of affection, playtime, and enrichment. I also believe communication is key, so you’ll receive regular updates and photos, allowing you to relax knowing your beloved companion is in experienced, caring hands.

About: I have been providing home-style dog boarding and pet care since 2017, with over 9 years of hands-on experience. I also worked for two years at a professional dog boarding and daycare facility in San Francisco and have experience in animal rescue. I am experienced in caring for dogs of all ages and personalities, especially puppies, senior dogs, rescue dogs, and dogs with anxiety or special needs. What sets me apart is my small, home-based care approach. I only accept 1–2 dogs at a time, which allows me to provide full attention, a calm environment, and truly personalized care for each dog. I am patient and attentive, and I adjust my care based on each dog’s personality to help them feel safe, comfortable, and at home. I stay at home most of the time and have a flexible schedule, so caring for pets is a natural part of my daily life. I take dogs out for walks, feed them, and spend time with them every day. I only accept a small number of dogs so I can give each pet plenty of attention and care. Home-style care in Castro Valley. Only 1–2 dogs at a time, never more than a small pack — so every visitor gets personal attention and a calm, consistent routine. Quiet indoor spaces to nap, multiple walks outside each day, and free meet-and-greets before any stay. I've been caring for dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs and more since 2018 and specialize in small and medium dogs under 45 lb.

About: I’m a huge dog lover who’s very fortunate to have always been around them. I’ve grown up with big and small dogs and play with the dogs at the shelter regularly. My pup (10 year old terrier mix) gets daily walks, cuddles, and is best friends with all the small dogs at the dog park. Dogs are so loving and deserve to be treated with the same love and care. I am available early in the mornings everyday (before 10am and after 5pm on T and Th and before 2:30pm M,W,F.) I’m available all day on weekends and holidays. I try to stay home as much as I can. If I’m not home, my mom and older sister are. I feed them breakfast and then go on a neighborhood walk at around 8am. If they cannot walk, I have a pet stroller. When at home, they will lounge around inside or outside. Backyard door remains open during the day so they can come inside and outside as they please. The yard is fully fenced. If it’s a hot day I will give them a bath, set a fan, or go somewhere cooler like the marina.

About: I’m a dog mom to a Goldendoodle I’ve raised since he was 8 weeks old, so I have hands-on experience with puppy routines, feeding, walks, crate training, enrichment, and basic obedience. Caring for my own dog has taught me how important consistency, patience, and close attention are. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions and routines, and I’ll treat your pet with the same care and attention I give my own. I’m also happy to provide plenty of photos and updates during each visit so you can feel comfortable while you’re away. I’m currently in graduate school and have a structured weekly schedule, which allows me to plan pet care reliably. I also have a dog of my own, so I’m very used to structuring my day around walks, feeding, playtime, and maintaining a consistent routine. I’m typically available Tuesday afternoons and evenings, with additional evening and weekend availability depending on the week. I keep my Rover calendar updated to reflect my current availability. For drop-in visits, I’ll carefully follow your pet’s usual routine and any instructions you provide, including feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, playtime, and other care needs. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet and feel confident that your routines and preferences will be respected. I’m very open to discussing expectations beforehand and adjusting my care to each pet and pet parent’s preferences so everyone feels comfortable. I’m also mindful about securely closing doors and gates, using leashes properly, and keeping pets supervised. I’ll send photos and updates during each visit so you always know how your pet is doing.

About: I grew up around animals and have always loved caring for them. I have experience caring for neighbors’ dogs and currently work part-time with a pet care company, where I help with walking and caring for dogs of different sizes and personalities. I’m reliable, patient, and bilingual in English and Spanish. I’ll treat your pets with the same love and care I’d give my own! ❤️ I work remotely part-time for a pet care company and make my own schedule, so I have plenty of flexibility for walks, drop-ins, and house sitting. I’m excited to offer my own services as well and spend even more time caring for pets. I always follow each pet’s normal routine and their parent’s instructions closely. I make sure doors, gates, leashes, food, and medications are handled safely, and I’m happy to do a meet and greet beforehand. I’ll also send regular updates and photos so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is safe and cared for.

About: I've been pet sitting since HS and grew to learn a lot about proper care and training. I pride myself on being very detail oriented and maintaining excellent communication. I am extremely clean and respectful while in others homes, being quiet to ensure the neighbors are not disturbed also. I love giving tons of attention and cuddles to all the babies :) I also go above and beyond to talk to them, explaining everything and helping them feel safe (it seems extra, but it really does help them). I have personally owned and lived with dogs, cats, chinchillas, chickens, birds, reptiles, and fish. *please note the rover rates are estimated with auto calculation, they include a brief meet & greet, and totals will be confirmed after meet & greet based on the level of care and dedicated time needed for the pets during the stay. Discounts apply for proximity to my home, as well. I currently work remotely part time so I am able to schedule check ins throughout the late morning to evening, between meetings and appointments. With all pet care services I offer, I schedule a window of time for the visit to allow myself flexibility within the flow of my day. I prefer to arrive in my best energy to care for animals so I schedule a lot of buffer to eliminate any hectic timelines. I usually prefer to do a meet & greet in advance to get all care instructions (I take my own notes), but I can also manage well if there is an instruction sheet with details. I just try to stick to everything as closely as possible so the only change for the animals is that their human is not home. I am also very observant of body language and can spot when the animals is feeling stressed to be able to adjust the environment and help them feel safe again.

About: Hi! My name is Adrienne and my husband's name is Edgar & we are both at home full-time. We both have a very active lifestyle. Since adopting our pup Nigel back in 2017 we became the go to pet-caretaker for our friends and family. We both have experience pet/house sitting and dog walking all ages and sizes. Our single family home has a large grassy front yard and a fenced backyard. We have hosted up to 3 dogs in our home at once in addition to our 2 old pups (now 1 since the other has crossed the rainbow bridge). Our home is extremely dog friendly, where they are welcomed on all beds and couches. We have dogs beds in every room, a large fabric dog crate and a small guest bathroom that we can put puppy pads in if your pup requires it. We live in a quiet neighborhood and are a quick drive away from two parks, one with a newly renovated dog park. We love having the opportunity to interact with all pets through Rover. We mostly do this for fun and supplemental income on our free time, so we are flexible on cost and cancellation. For house sitting, I (Adrienne) will be the main one to do the stay, if you prefer Edgar please let us know. We understand how hard it is to leave your fur babies at home alone, and the look on their face when you leave is absolutely heart breaking. We'd love to keep them company while you're away! Your pets' safety and happiness is important, our goal is to create a stress free environment for everyone.

“Jennifer followed my detailed instructions very well and sent me constant updates with pictures while I went on a long deserved vacation. Kitty got sick a week prior so I was worried that she hasn’t fully recovered. Luckily there were no issues. Thanks Jennifer for everything! Highly recommend to others.”
