House Sitting In Claremont

“Ida and Travis were amazing to work with! They sent tons of cute photos of my cats, were the best communicators, and even left my home cleaner than they found it. They were very attentive to learning about my cats' needs and managing challenges like my sticky front door key. I'd definitely use them again!”

Kathleen F.

“Hollie is wonderful! On her first time sitting for us she walked in to a bit of a mess. My pup had a poop accident. Hollie quickly helped clean up L. She cleaned my pups behind up and even with such an intimate introduction he adapted to her quickly. Hollie is also a great communicator and kept me informed on how everything was going. I highly recommend her and will absolutely be asking her to sit for us again!”

Lisa A.

“Sophia did incredible with our dog, Bryn. She sent daily pictures and was very attentive with all the complicated instructions I gave. Bryn seemed very happy when we came home and he got more walks with Sophia than he usually gets with me. I highly recommend Sophia, we'll be rebooking soon!”

Jamison H.

“Our puppy Murphy is a big energetic boy who loves to get into mischief. Kat did a great job with him, and he was a happy boy when we got home. Since this was our first time leaving him with someone else, I was very relieved that he did so well with her. I would definitely trust her again to watch our boy!”

Kimberlee T.

“Rong was super responsive, timely, and communicative! She took great care of my pup and made sure to follow through on every request I made of her! My place was spotless when I got back and I will definitely ask her to look after Marco again!”

Emily V.

“Shereen was great!! Very flexible with my commitments and provided daily updates, pictures, etc. Would recommend!!”

Srikar G.

“Richard was excellent watching my dogs overnight at my place for two nights. He was very loving and patient with my anxious pupper and by the end they were getting along great. Richard was also a very respectful house guest and left the place better than he found it. Highly recommend!”

Russ N.

“Cara took great care of my two small dogs, one grumpy oldster, one young still-training wild man, plus one kitty princess! She sent regular updates and pics, made it through a slightly complicated food/meds routine flawlessly, and was respectful and tidy in our house. Pets were relaxed and happy when we returned. Highly recommended!”

Celena P.

“Angela was amazing! She offered to do a meet and greet before sitting, which was perfect for my dog who is a little wary of new people. I also got plenty of updates and pictures. And I was able to enjoy my time away worry free because she was in such good hands.”

Nina F.

“Barbara has taken excellent care of both of anxious/reactive big dog, and our home while we have been out of town. She is reliable and so helpful, I never have concerns leaving Rocky in her care. I recommend her to anyone looking for care for their pups!”

Annie C.

“Nicky took great care of Jojo while I was away on a stressful trip. She sent daily updates and photos and ensured Jojo got out regularly for walks and play time at home. Thank you, Nicky!”

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats my whole life. I have seen pets through life from young to elderly, providing medications and cleaning up countless messes. Nothing will surprise me. I attune to pet personalities well: I love snuggling with the snuggly ones, take care around skittish ones, and everything in between. I am punctual and respectful of your time and space. I’m currently working part-time from home and I am available on short notice to provide care for your loved ones. I am quick to respond and can travel within the East Bay comfortably. I provide loving care in the form of house and pet-sitting, dog walking, feeding, medications, play time, snuggling, and more. I am a highly attuned individual, so I will learn your pet’s needs and meet them where they are at. I work comfortably with pets with boundaries, aggression, skittishness, and other high needs. As a house and pet-sitter, I always leave the home exactly as I found it. I respect your property and make your pet’s safety the highest priority. I will follow your guidelines to the letter and I’m happy to send you pictures to help your mind be at ease.

About: Hi, I'm Jules — a recent Cal grad based in Berkeley this summer! While I'm new to Rover, I am absolutely not new to dogs. I've been walking, sitting, and caring for dogs for 6+ years across a wide range of needs and breeds, and I take every animal's individual personality and care requirements seriously. What sets me apart: Puppies — I have hands-on experience raising and caring for puppies, including crate training support, socialization, high-energy play, and building trust with young dogs still learning the world around them. Cats — I'm just as comfortable with cats and can handle drop-ins, feeding, litter, and playtime for feline family members too. Medication administration — I am experienced with administering oral medications, pills hidden in treats, and following vet-prescribed care routines carefully and consistently. Senior dogs — I have a gentle, patient approach with older dogs who need a slower pace, more frequent potty breaks, joint-friendly movement, and extra TLC. Dogs with disabilities — I have experience with dogs that have mobility challenges, anxiety, or other special needs, and I'm comfortable adapting care plans to meet their unique requirements. I own an English Cream Golden Retriever named Phoebe, so I know firsthand just how much love, attention, and patience dogs deserve. I'm active, energetic, and genuinely passionate about animals — your pet won't just be looked after, they'll be truly cared for. As a recent post-grad with a fully open summer, my schedule is extremely flexible and available around yours. I am available full-time, including: Early morning walks (before 8am) Midday and lunch-hour drop-ins Afternoon and evening walks Weekdays and weekends I keep my bookings manageable so that every pet receives my complete, undivided attention — you'll never feel like your dog is just another appointment on a packed list. When I'm in a client's home, I treat it with the same care and respect I'd want someone to show mine. I stick closely to each pet's existing routine, since familiar schedules help dogs feel calm and secure. Doors, gates, and latches are always double-checked. I never let dogs off-leash in unsecured areas, and I stay fully attentive — phone down, eyes on your pup. For dogs on medication or with special care needs, I follow instructions exactly as given and will always communicate any concerns promptly.

“Nicole was absolutely amazing with our pup, Scarlett. Our pup was so comfortable with her as soon as she came in like they were old friends. We received daily updates and pictures to reassure us that all was going smoothly for the four days we were away.”

About: I’ve taken care of many dogs and cats over the years. I love spending time with animals and provide careful and loving attention to them all. I’m an avid hiker and trail runner so I love being outside with active animals. I am currently working part time and my work schedule is flexible! I’m around weekends and early mornings. I make sure to fit pet care in with my other responsibilities. I make sure to carefully follow instructions left by the pet owner and always ask questions if I have them and send regular updates about the pet.

About: Attentive, attuned and respectful of different animals’ needs and personalities. Flexible schedule with own transportation. Proud mom to two senior pups and a tuxedo cat. Experience house sitting, dog walking, and kitty care dating back to college days, but taking advantage of a newly flexible schedule to connect with more animals after years of corporate work! My days are currently flexible outside of my daily morning yoga practice and splitting my own pet care with my partner, which currently includes a 30 minute lunchtime walk of my own pups. Open to working with your schedule. I understand that each pet’s and home’s needs are different. Let’s talk about what you need that can make this partnership mutually beneficial.

About: I volunteered at the Tuolumne County SPCA with my grandparents from the time I was a child until my Grandpa passed away a couple of years ago. I cared for kittens who had lost their mothers, elder dogs and cats who had lost their pet parents, and everything in between. I have participated in volunteer adoption events, and helped many pets find their furever homes. Beyond that, I am a life long dog and cat mom and animal lover. I will have puppies and kittens to seniors well cared for and comfortable. I am studying online to get an advanced degree in Psychology, so I have ample availability to show up and care for your fur-baby. I like to help create calm by sticking to their routine. They should be fed on their regular schedule, dogs should be walked and given potty breaks on the schedule they are used to, play and cuddles should be abundant and documentation and communication should be consistent. Litterboxes and food dishes should be kept clean and well maintained. All of this should work together to ensure that pets and pet-parents are all calm and happy while parents are away.

“Nicole was FANTASTIC! We have three small dogs that she sat for 7 days. They are a bit anxious and can be handful, but Nicole had no problem. They came to love her so much. She communicated well and sent photos, and the house was spotless when we returned. We will be booking Nicole again and again!”

“G’la was great with our two dogs! We loved all of the wonderful pictures she sent and our dogs clearly had a good time. She even went above and beyond to coordinate visits with our landlord while we were away. Thanks, G’la!”

Kelsey S.

“Wenjie did so well with our cranky old dog, taking care of the dog and apartment equally. He is cheery, responsive, and responsible, and we would book him again for Henry in a heartbeat”
