House Sitting Cherry-Guardino

“Jennifer is incredibly kind and genuinely cares about animals. She is also very responsible and communicative. She sends regular updates with photos and videos throughout the day, so we feel connected even when we’re away. The house is always spotless when we return — she keeps everything very clean and tidy, way beyond what we expect. She’s reliable, professional, and truly a joy to work with. If you’re looking for a trustworthy pet sitter who treats your home and pets like her own, look no further. Jennifer is the best! We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone.”

“Aurora was truly a gift having her dog-sit our precious girl Sadie. She was caring, responsive, gave many updates throughout the long weekend and made me feel at ease while I was away knowing that my dog was in good hands. Thank you Aurora. You are top on my list for future dog-sitting needs.”

“Amy is the best dog sitter we could have asked for. I pride myself on how much I take my dogs on adventures but Amy even surpassed what I do for my own dog! Amy took my dog on numerous wonderful adventures while sending me amazing pictures from their adventures. When Amy left she left a gorgeous hand drawn picture of our dog. I recommend Amy to anyone with a pet that they like and want to leave in good hands. 5 stars. A+ dog sitting! Will hire again!”

The house was also well taken care of. We had a overall positive experience and would book a housesitting or dogsitting again.”

I can be an "uncle" for them, when their parents are not home. Essentials such as food water, toys bathroom etc. always kept in mind!

“I highly recommend Alex. My Boston Terrier, Mojo, is very stubborn and does not trust strangers. He seemed to really like Alex and opened up to her easily over the weekend when I'm gone. Alex is great at following instructions and easy to communicate with. Mojo had a fun time I'm sure. Thanks, Alex!”

About: I have experience in taking care of cats and dogs for my friends and family. I have a Persian cat and I have been living with him for 3 years. I am currently doing it for part-time. My time is relatively flexible. I will be available in weekdays more. Sometimes weekend works too with earlier appointments. I love playing and talking with them like a friend. Sometimes they would ask for pat or hug and my cat does, but I would be more careful with my friends’ pets. I love giving them treats when playing. But my cat doesn’t like treats haha.

About: I focus on providing consistent, in-home care so pets can remain comfortable, relaxed, and well cared for in their own environment. I am fully insured and currently accepting new clients. I typically like to schedule a brief Meet & Greet before confirming a new booking so we can ensure a good fit and review your pet’s routine and needs. As part of my care, I provide light, routine walks at a comfortable pace on flat neighborhood routes to support your dog’s daily routine and overall well-being. I have cared for dogs since childhood and have always had a strong bond with them. At the time, I fed my dogs, bathed them, walked them around the neighborhood, and played with them in my backyard. I always had a special bond with my dogs and was very protective of them. I bring that same protective, loving care to every dog I look after. I provide in-home pet sitting and dog walking services within the city of Fremont, CA. I care for dogs one year of age and older, with a primary focus on in-home care where pets receive plenty of time, attention, and companionship. I specialize in dog care and am not currently accepting cat-only bookings. Basic care for household cats may be included during house sitting visits for an additional fee. Dog walking is provided at a light pace on flat, neighborhood routes and is best suited for dogs who enjoy a relaxed, low-intensity routine. My current availability is primarily weekends, along with limited evening availability depending on schedule. I offer daytime visits, drop-in visits, walks, and overnight stays within Fremont. I follow each pet’s feeding, walking, and care routine closely to ensure consistency and comfort while helping minimize extended periods of time alone. Please send me a message with your dates and pet details, and we can arrange a Meet & Greet. I look forward to caring for your pet. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their normal routine so pets feel comfortable, secure, and relaxed. I make sure food, water, light walks, and potty breaks are handled on schedule, provide playtime and companionship, and always keep the home safe and tidy. In the event of illness or an emergency, I will contact you immediately and follow your designated veterinary instructions. If needed, I will also contact Rover’s 24/7 Trust & Safety Support for guidance. I ask that all clients provide an emergency contact who is located nearby and able to assist with transport or additional support if required.

“Katelyn was a wonderful sitter for our w golden retrievers. We have an older golden and a large 1 year old golden puppy who is a handful- and she managed them both beautifully. She sent regular updates and photos, and also left our house better than she found it.”

About: Dog Experience: I've taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. When I was growing up, I owned and trained a black Labrador, and later our family adopted a Golden Retriever Labrador mix. My favorite doggy adventures were running on the beach with our sweet Honey, and then bathing her before coming in the door. She passed away last summer due to cancer, and I miss her very much. I currently volunteer at the East Bay SPCA. I am an active member of the Jog-A-Dog program, and exercise shelter dogs by taking them on short 3-mile jogs around parks and neighborhoods. I have experience working with a variety of breeds and temperaments, from adults to puppies, including both anxious, reactive, confident, and laid-back animals. Cat Experience: I also grew up with a stray American shorthair cat who adopted our family when I was in kindergarten. When I would play in my neighborhood, the cat took notice of me, and our bond grew from there. We developed our own sign language, where I would hold out my hand to her, and she would come up to me and lick it, then follow me everywhere. Slowly, she started hanging around our house until my dad finally invited her inside. My mom walked into the living room one afternoon and caught my dad sitting on the couch with the cat purring on his lap. It was then that we all realized that this cat had made its way into our hearts and become a permanent member of our family. I think I'm more of a cat person than a dog person, just because cats always seem to be drawn to me. However, I have a big heart for all types of animals, reptiles, and insects. Other pet experience: In college I adopted a turtle from our neighbor because the owner could no longer care for it. I would take the turtle with me a few times to the park on the weekends, where it could graze on fresh green grass and bask in the sunshine. I also had a few betta fish at the time, and taught them how to leap into the air for a few seconds (with the promise of food, of course). Insect Experience: I love butterflies!! I have always loved butterflies -- my first word was "butterfly". When I was in first grade I was wandering around our neighborhood, waiting for my friend to get home so we could play together. I cam across a Monarch butterfly caught in a spiderweb that was plasterd against the outside windowsill of my neighbor's house. After staring at it for a little while, I noticed the butterfly's wings start to move. I reached my hand into the spiderweb and set the butterfly free. The butterfly crawled onto my hand and it was then that I realized the wings were damaged. My friend came out of her house soon after, and we created a little home for the butterfly to receive plant nectar and water (in a lid). Then my parents arranged to visit my great-grandmother in a nursing home, so I took the butterfly to show her. We traveled by airplane to Ohio. My mom said that my great-grandmother had lived in Pacific Grove, CA, before she was sent to Ohio, and would watch the Monarch butterfly migration take place in her backyard. When my great-grandmother saw the Monarch butterfly I had brought her, she lit up! She still remembered the butterflies from her hometown and was very grateful to see the butterfly alive and well through its journey to Cleveland, OH. Throughout my life I've had multiple experiences with various types of butterflies landing on me while hiking or lounging by the pool with my family. It's always a magical and awe-inspiring experience.

About: I have trained and cared for my own dogs, both small and large breeds, all of my life. As a volunteer at animal shelters here in the Bay Area and in Austin, I have learned to manage and adapt to varied—and sometimes difficult—dog personalities, temperaments, and needs. I am also very comfortable with large animals, having owned and trained my own horses for decades. As a retired journalist and journalism professor, I bring trustworthiness, reliability, and excellent communication to animal care. I can provide walks, engaging playtime, comfort for anxious animals, and administration of simple medications. Please note: While I am an expert animal caretaker, I am new to the Rover platform. I am currently offering introductory rates for a limited time while I build my local profile.I I work from home as a writer/reasercher on my own flexible schedule. i can accommodate your and your pets' schedules on weekdays as well as weekends. I provide walks as needed, playtime, comforting if he or she is anxious, simple medicstions and wound-dressing, and and of course feeding and watering on their schedule.

About: I’ve been lucky to care for dogs, cats, and bunnies through every stage of life, from playful puppies and kittens to sweet senior pets who need a little extra patience and care. I’ve also pet sat for others for extended periods of time, including 4 to 6 weeks at a time, so I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pets and home in someone else’s hands. I care for each pet like they’re part of my own family. I take the time to learn their routine, personality, likes, dislikes, and comfort level so they feel safe, loved, and understood while you’re away. I’m comfortable with pets of all ages, all dog sizes, and pets who need medication or a little extra attention. Whether your pet is playful and energetic, shy and cautious, cuddly, independent, or in their senior years, I’ll meet them where they are with patience, kindness, and lots of love. My goal is to give you peace of mind and make your pet feel comfortable, cared for, and never alone. I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and makes it easy for me to fit pet care into my day. I’m happy to make time for walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting based on your pet’s needs. I understand how important consistency is, so I’ll follow your pet’s usual routine for feeding, walks, playtime, medication, and companionship. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can feel comfortable and connected while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I know it can feel stressful to leave your pet in someone else’s care, so I do everything I can to make the experience as smooth and reassuring as possible for both you and your pet. When caring for pets in your home, I’ll follow your instructions closely and maintain their normal routine as much as possible. Whether that includes feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication, litter box care, cuddle time, or simply keeping them company, I’ll make sure their needs are met with patience and attention. I understand that pets thrive on consistency, and keeping their routine familiar helps them feel secure while you’re away. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual personality and comfort level. Some pets love lots of interaction and play, while others prefer a calmer approach and need time to build trust. I’m happy to adapt my care to what makes your pet feel most comfortable and relaxed. Safety is extremely important to me. I’m careful with doors, gates, leashes, harnesses, and home access, and I always double-check that pets are secure before entering or leaving the home. I also pay attention to changes in behavior, appetite, energy level, or anything else that may be important, and I’ll communicate with you promptly if I notice any concerns. I’ll treat your home with the same respect and care that I would want someone to show my own. You can also expect regular updates and photos so you can feel connected and reassured while you’re away. My goal is for you to return to a happy, comfortable pet and have complete peace of mind knowing they were cared for with kindness, responsibility, and genuine affection.

“Andrew was great! He was attentive of Timon and updated me on how he was doing throughout the day. Timon chomped down on a Christmas light and Andrew was quick to respond to get it out of his mouth and put the pieces where he couldn't get them. Will definitely reach out to Andrew again!”

“Christina was wonderful taking care of our older, blind dog Rose. She sent us many photos during the time we were away, letting us know that Rose was doing fine. We came home to a very happy, relaxed dog who obviously had been taken good care of!”
