“Victoria was very calm, collected and kind. She was flexible with our last minute needs and able to handle our very high energy doberman puppy with ease. Will be booking again - 10/10!”


“Anny was great with our three dogs, including seamlessly dealing with our not-quite-house-trained new addition's accident. She was responsive and sent regular updates, and we came home to three very happy dogs!”


“Ana was absolutely fantastic! Extremely thorough and transparent and communicative the entire stay. We had complete trust in them and were able to relax fully on our trip! They sent photos and updates frequently and we'd absolutely book again!!”


“Zsa-Zsa was wonderful! She took such great care of our three cats and kept us updated with regular messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She followed all of our instructions perfectly and was super communicative. We came home to happy cats and a tidy home :) I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and attentive sitter!”



“Ashley was wonderful. She took great care of our Murphy, sent messages and pictures, and left great feedback. I would not hesitate to ask her to housesit again.”


“My little Taco loved Louis and Louis took care of my pup like his own. He was clear with communication and suggested we meet for a meet and greet which was such a great idea given how mistrustful my Taco can be with strangers. Will absolutely rebook and recommend to others!”


“G’La was amazing! She took such great care of Tuna and Finn while we were away for two nights and two and a half days. I felt totally at ease knowing they were in good hands. She was communicative, kind, and clearly loves animals — Tuna and Finn were so calm and happy when we got back. Couldn’t recommend her more. Will definitely be reaching out again!”



“Ariana is wonderful! She sends frequent updates and pictures and you can tell she really loves dogs. Our Boxer puppy Hank, loves her. She also kindly deals with my nuerosis about leaving him. Highly recommended!”


“Cara was great with our babies. Got updates and cute pics. She took good care of them and our house during our trip. Will definitely recommend her.”


“William was a pleasure to work with when he stayed at my house to take care of my seven-year-old golden doodle, Ruby. He was very communicative and responsive leading up to the engagement, sent photos of Ruby while we were gone, and left the house in great shape for when we returned. I would work with William again and highly recommend his services!”


About: I've always had a deep connection to and love for animals that goes back to childhood. I'm dedicated to giving your pet(s) the best care possible. I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule a this time, because I'm in the process of transitioning careers and will work with your schedule. I care for pets in client's homes by ensuring they have water, food, attention and are taken on daily walks. I also ensure they get any medication needed. I have experience dog sitting for senior canines.

“Brady is great. He came over to meet us and our dogs in advance and to learn about any special needs or preferences that might exist. He communicated with us throughout our trip and even sent photos of our boys snuggling with him on the sofa (which we do allow, it's their sofa and they like for us to sit on it and snuggle with them all the time). They seemed very happy and not stressed at all upon our return home. We highly recommend Brady - speaking of, I'd better book him now before our next trip!”


“Stephanie was awesome! We were gone for two weeks and Stephanie stayed in our home and watched Haku. She sent us photos frequently and took great care of our home. We would recommend without hesitation. Thanks, Stephanie!”


“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.”


“Michael took amazing care of our 5 month old high energy puppy and two cats while we were away! We received updates every day and he was easily reached. He was very professional and left our house better than he found it. Would 100% book again next time we need a sitter”


“Lisa took such amazing care of my dog and home while I was away. My dog was recovering from surgery and needed pills and cream medications, and Lisa handled it without a problem. I came home to a spotless house which was such a nice welcome. I'd love to have her back in the future.”


“Kimmy was super attentive and communicative. She arrived on time and made it super easy! Arya and her had a great time together. Thanks so much!”


About: Hi, I’m Sophia! I made Oakland my home almost four years ago! Since my apartment does not allow pets, the time I get to spend with pets is extra special to me. I’ve been around animals my whole life and feel passionate about pet care and wellbeing. Walking and interacting with the dogs I’ve had has always been incredibly rewarding for me, and I want to bring my enthusiasm for dog care to others! I provide dog walking and drop-in services, with an emphasis on exploration and adventure. I love finding new walking routes and love exploring the city and trails in the Berkeley and Oakland hills. For drop-in’s I offer a personalized experience for each pet, and aim to ensure that by the time I leave they’re as happy as can be. Thanks so much for considering me to be a dog walker or care-giver. I can’t wait to explore and learn with your pet. I work from home full-time and am available for walks during the day. I mostly work an east coast schedule so am always down to go on a mid-afternoon hiking/trail adventure with your pup! I value creating a calm but clear environment for all the dogs I work with. I have experience training dogs in easy commands (sit, stay etc) and always communicate with the client about how to best communicate with their dogs, as well as any stickier behaviors that I should be aware of while caring for their pet.

About: I grew up with a dog that I was responsible for from a young age until my late teens. Today, I am the go-to dog care person for family and friends. I love animals but especially dogs so I decided to try expanding my skills here on Rover. I have experience helping dogs who are injured and need medicine, active, semi-active, and mellow dogs too! My current schedule offers flexibility throughout the weekdays and most weekends, which helps me balance and accommodate dog owners' various schedules/needs throughout the entire week. At your home, I am a responsible and conscientous person, who treats someone's home with care. I am adaptable to different home environments. The main thing for me is feeling safe in the home and cleanliness -:) and that the dog is comfortable.

“This was my first time using Rover and working with Irina. She exceeded my expectations and hopes for animal care of our two cats and one senior dog. She was conscientious, thorough, took amazing photos of them all and was thorough with communication. Honestly she cared so well for my senior dog that I learned a bit from her. I'm so excited about Irina and highly recommend her!!”

“If you're leaving town for a trip, having Hilary care for your pet is the only way to do it! For over 5 years, Hillary has watched our dog a handful of times. We feel completely at ease when Hillary is in charge! She is incredibly trustworthy and absolutely adores dogs. Hilary is a great communicator, extremely punctual, and leaves her home clean and in order. Not only is Hilary great with dogs, she's great with people. She's truly a joy to be around!”
