Dog Sitting Central Point

About: We had a family dog from the time I was a toddler. The first dog was a Doberman, then the next family dog was a Springer Spaniel. My family also volunteered as puppy raisers with Guide Dogs for the Blind and we raised 5 guide dog puppies. One flunked out of guide dog school and came back to live with us until she was 13. Later, I volunteered with Guiding Eyes for the Blind and helped puppy raisers with their new puppies, and weekly helped teach the classes from 12 weeks when the puppies first arrive to their puppy raiser homes, up to 18 months when they leave their puppy raisers the puppies get trained before they go back in for their formal under harness training for their blind person. All 9 years of work there we used positive reinforcement with the dogs and helped the puppy raisers. I also attended some classes with Guiding Eyes on dog body language. I also have my own rescue dog who I adopted during that time and he has had positive reinforcement training since I adopted him. I now assist owners with training or behavioral needs they may have for their dogs to make the owners and the dogs happier and more peaceful living. I also have added a list of other services, from boarding in my home, to house sitting in yours, dog walking, drop in visits, or daycare in my house. I am working from home and available basically all the time, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and over weekends as well. Days: M, T, W, T, F, S, S I don’t have kids or cats. Just me and my one 10 year old personal dog are in the house. I live in a condo and don’t have a backyard, but I have always walked my dog in the neighborhood and gone to hike at Lake Chabot which is only a 12 minute drive or at Oakland hills parks.

About: I enjoy dogs and will care for them like family. I have had dogs, cats, rabbits and guinea pigs in my life since I was a kid. I enjoy playing with them, watching and walking your dogs. My schedule is flexible and I am able to work around your needs for pet care in your home. Look forward to hearing from you. I have a fenced yard at home and always walk dogs on leashes. I can use your pet stroller if you would like me to take them on walks. I double check for safety in and out of doors and make sure there is nothing that they can get into before I leave your home.

“Kaitlyn was so amazing! She sent updates regularly and helped clean up accidents our cat had, which we really appreciated! She is super nice and communicative, we would book her again!”

About: I've spent a lot of time around animals and truly enjoy caring for them! My brother has three very different dogs—a Bernedoodle, a Chihuahua mix, and a German Shepherd—so I’ve gotten hands-on experience with a wide range of sizes, personalities, and energy levels. Whether it’s a few hours or a few days, I’ve helped care for them with everything from walks and playtime to feedings and snuggles. I also have an orange cat at home, so I'm very comfortable with feline friends too! I'm patient, gentle, and know how to read pet behavior to make sure they're feeling safe and happy. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, or a senior in need of slower care, I’ll treat them like my own. I don’t have a fixed work schedule, which gives me a lot of flexibility! My availability just depends on current bookings, so feel free to reach out—I’m often able to accommodate last-minute or custom requests. I’m happy to work around your pet’s needs and find a time that works best for both of us. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, their safety and comfort always come first. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and preferences so they feel secure and cared for. I’m respectful of your home and make sure your pet has everything they need—from fresh water and meals to playtime and cuddles. I keep a close eye on behavior and energy levels to make sure pets stay safe and happy, and I’m always happy to provide updates so you feel at ease while you’re away. My own orange cat has taught me how important a calm, loving environment is, and I bring that same energy to every pet I care for.

“Kelsey was so great! She answered my inquiry right away and was able to sit for us on relatively short notice. She stopped by to get acquainted before we left and I appreciated her prompt check-ins and how well she cared for our kitties. I definitely recommend her services.”

“Serena is a wonderful person. Are dogs looked forward to her visits every day. Serena was always punctual and very professional with communication. We will definitely use her in the future. I would give more than 5 stars if I could. Thank you so much Serena..”

About: My husband and I have always had dogs in our lives, and while we’re taking a little break from having pups of our own right now, we miss having them around immensely. Our kids are grown and out of the house, and we love having the freedom to travel, so we’re just not quite ready to bring another dog into our family full-time. That’s actually what made us think Rover would be perfect for us — we get to love on and spoil your pups while giving them a home away from home when you need one! We also know firsthand how hard it can be to leave your dog with someone else. When your pup stays with us, we want you to feel completely comfortable knowing they’re being loved and cared for just like we would want for our own. We have a very clean, dog-friendly home and a fully fenced, secure backyard with lots of room to explore, play, or just hang out in the sunshine. Dogs are welcome on our furniture, and there will be plenty of snuggles, attention and love. We do not kennel dogs in our home. We also have experience giving medications and caring for dogs who need a little extra attention, as we’ve been through that with our own dogs over the years. More than anything, we just genuinely love dogs. We may not be ready for another pup of our own quite yet, but we have lots of dog love to give in the meantime. ❤️🐾 We would love the opportunity to spoil yours and make our home feel like their second home while you’re away. When your pup is staying with us, they’ll rarely be alone! We love having them around and they’ll typically be right alongside us throughout the day. If your pup enjoys going “bye-bye,” and with your permission, we’re happy to bring them along when we can. My office is also dog-friendly, so they can come to work with me and keep me company if the owner allows. For walks and drop-in visits, my schedule is very flexible, which makes it easy for me to work around your pet’s routine and what works best for you. We know how much your pup means to you and how hard it can be to leave them in someone else’s care. We want you to feel completely comfortable knowing they’re not only being cared for, but genuinely loved while you’re away. Our hope is that they’re excited to come stay with us — and you can leave knowing they’re in a home where they’ll be treated like part of the family. ❤️🐾 We want your pup to feel safe, comfortable and completely at home while they’re with us. ❤️ We have a fully fenced, secure backyard with plenty of room to explore, play and enjoy some fresh air. We’re very active people, so with your approval, we’re always happy to take your pup along for walks, trips to the park, or other little adventures. Of course, we’ll always follow your normal routine and any instructions you provide because we know every dog is different! Most importantly, we know how much trust it takes to leave your pup in someone else’s care. We love sending photos and videos throughout their stay so you can see what they’re up to, how they’re settling in, and most importantly, that they’re happy and having fun. 🐾 Whether we’re caring for your pup in our home or yours, we’ll treat them, your home, and their routine with the same care and respect we would want for our own. Our goal is for you to be able to enjoy your time away knowing your pup is safe, loved, and getting plenty of attention and snuggles!

“Nataleigh was great. She was very responsive and attentive to my two cats! I’ll definitely be contacting her again when I go out of town.”

About: I grew up around all kinds of animals and even had up to 7 dogs at one point in my childhood home! I’ve always loved having pets and I even used to pet sit for neighbors frequently. I’m currently not working so I’m able to pet sit Monday-Sunday! I’m open to following specific routines that you have for your pet. I’m also available to do overnights if needed :) I do have a fenced in yard where I can supervise your pet. I currently have no personal pets of my own. I love to maintain their schedule as I know it could be hard for your pet to be in a new environment.

“Great communication! Attentive to medication needs. She took great care of our dogs while we were out of town. Would highly recommend and hire again.”

About: Grew up w/ small dogs and cats! All have been my favorite.😫 From bottle feeding week-old kittens to park-day trips, administering medication and probiotics. Baths for the pups are no problem, too! I am free twice a day at minimum for daily drops ins with optional extended bonding and play time, as well as weekend house sitting where your fur baby will be attended to for the remainder of the night! 🐾🐈🫶🏼 I use a baby gate as a “keep-out” tool if needed to be utilized in a specific area of your home. A provided crate for dogs that are destructive when left alone or in general would be appreciated!

“Ashley was great to work with and treated Ellie very well. I would use her again in a heartbeat!”

“Kristen did an amazing job caring for our cat twice a day for two weeks, including administering multiple medications! She was dependable and thoughtful. She reached out to us with any questions or concerns she had before and during our trip. She sent photos from every visit. We were able to enjoy our vacation knowing our cat was safe with her. I would absolutely book her again in the future!”
