About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life! At one point, my family had up to four dogs at a time. I also have taken care of other animals (lizards, cats, fish) for neighbors, friends, and random job postings found online! I am capable of bathing, walking, feeding, giving medications/ treatments, socializing, or whatever you need for your pets! I am currently in school online and taking some time off of work! This leaves me with extreme flexibility to take care of your animals. Every pet and pet parent is unique! As long as you give me the gist of what your pet needs, I am happy to provide that.

About: What sets me apart is my deep understanding of pets' unique needs, gained through years of hands-on experience with animals of all ages, breeds, and temperaments. Whether I'm caring for playful puppies, energetic adults, or senior pets with special requirements, I tailor my approach to ensure every animal feels safe, loved, and understood. There is a long line of veterinarians in my family therefore I understand the importance of quality care. My goal is to provide peace of mind for you and a second home for your furry friend, where they’ll receive the same level of care and affection they get from you. Fun fact I hope to become a veterinarian after school! As a college student-athlete, my schedule is flexible. I'm available every day aligning pet care around my class and practice times. Any changes or commitments are communicated in advance for seamless planning and reliable pet care. I am a student-athlete at Berkeley and am looking for a part-time job to spend time and help out with your furry friends. I know your pets mean the world to you, which is why safety is my top priority and I am committed to providing the best care for them so you can rest assured that they are taken care of while you are away.

“Irina was wonderful with our cats! She did drop-in visits over a long weekend and was incredibly kind, patient, and really understands feline personalities—she took cues from our cats to know when they wanted to play or just be left alone. Everything was spotless and well taken care of when we returned. She’s also very flexible with logistics planning and detail-oriented, which made the whole experience easy and stress-free. We highly recommend Irina for anyone looking for a trustworthy, cat-savvy sitter! Thank you!”

I have availability Tues and Thurs morning to midday and Mon, Wed, and Fri afternoons. I am also available weekends (flexible timing/open availability). The more advanced notice I receive, the better I can accommodate your schedule. Happy to take care of your pet and keep them company, while respecting your space.

About: Hi, there! My name is Halle and I recently moved to Berkeley from Beaverton, OR. While I was living in Beaverton, I dog-sat and house-sat over the course of the lat six years for several different families whose animals ranged from puppies, dogs (large, medium and/or small), cats, guinea pigs and more. I have a huge passion for animals and am able to provide extra care for those who have pets with health issues (i.e., giving them medicine, eyedrops, injections, etc). I'm an avid walker and love to spend time outdoors -- I'm happy to walk your dog as much as desired/needed. Thank you for your consideration! I'm currently in the process of securing a full-time job in Berkeley so until then, I have unlimited availability to care for your pet! During every pet-sitting gig I've completed over the last six years, I've always stayed at the homeowner's house. I'm known for being communicative, proactive, clean/tidy/organized and consistently ensuring the animal receives high quality care, affection, attention, safety and exercise. I'm an avid walker and love spending time outside so I'm more than happy to take your pet on a walk for however long you want!

“Sophia was so amazing! She did a great job of keeping me updated and taking care of my dog. I will definitely use her again!”

“Nicole did a fantastic job caring for my two cats while I was away and filled the bird bath too! She shared detailed daily summaries and cute pictures. I highly recommend Nicole and plan to ask her to pet sit next time I'm away.”

“Candace was reliable, caring, and attentive to my cat Finn's needs. She kept me updated throughout the stay with lots of cute pictures. I would definitely recommend her to other pet parents!”

About: I’ve spent most of my animal care time over my life with all kinds and sizes of dogs. I love every pup’s different personality! I’ve been pet and house sitting since I was a teen with a reputation for care and cleanliness. My weeks are fairly regular. I bartend for work so I will be absent from around 6-8 pm to 12-3am a few days a week. Otherwise I have my day time free with plenty of time for fun outdoor expeditions. Your comfort and trust are of upmost important to me! Pets are family and they need to be properly taken care of. I prefer caring for them in your home so their environment is familiar and I am a support coming to their home to make them safe.

“I am so happy to leave this review for Lisa! She was so wonderful and communicative! I am always very nervous leaving old chihuahua, but Lisa made me and my dog feel very comfortable the entire time. I would highly recommend Lisa to anyone!!!!!”

About: Hi, I'm Wyatt! I grew up in a house that felt more like a small farm — two dogs (Jackie and Kylie), two cats (Stevie and Spicoli), plus bunnies, chickens, and frogs running around. My grandfather was a veterinarian, so caring for animals has always been second nature to me: feeding, walking, bathing, giving medications, and picking up on when something's just a little off. I'm comfortable with high-energy puppies, anxious rescues, and senior pets who need a slower pace and a bit of extra patience. Honestly, I miss my own pets back home, and getting to hang out with yours is the best part of this. I'll send photo updates whether you ask for them or not. I’m a senior at Berkeley with a light course load, so my week has a lot of open space in it. Weekday mornings, afternoons, and evenings are all workable, and I’m wide open on weekends. Because I’m not commuting to an office, I can do multiple drop-ins a day, long midday walks, or stay overnight at your place. I’ll always confirm timing in advance and let you know right away if anything shifts on my end. I work in your home, so your pet stays on their own turf and their own routine. I'll follow whatever you already do :) feeding times and amounts, medications, crate or no crate, which rooms are off-limits, the walking route they like, how they are around other dogs. Leash goes on before the door opens, and I check gates and doors twice on my way out. No off-leash time unless you tell me it's fine. I'll get your vet's info before the first visit, and if anything seems off you'll hear from me right away. Your place gets left how I found it, and you'll get a text with photos after every visit.

About: Aside from owning my own dogs for over 10 years, I have worked as a professional pet-sitter and dog-walker for 2 years. I make sure to be intentional with how I spend my time with your loved one and bring them back feeling cared for and hopefully tired! I'm currently a part-time student, so I will have lot's of time to dedicate to your pet! I am mostly available to sit or walk on weekdays between 12 - 8 pm but if this time frame doesn't work, feel free to send me a message and I would be happy to accommodate you! I make sure to keep an eye on them at all times and will diligently follow whatever rules or other safety precautions you have inside or outside your home. I am loving yet respectful of their space, and comfortable with different types of pets and personalities.

About: For the last four years I’ve lived in a home with two Rhodesian Ridgebacks. One was a senior at 13 years old and the other is three. I’ve learned how to adapt to their different needs based on age and personality while setting boundaries and aligning to my Housemate’s desires for their care. (Which has helped me get to know new dogs pretty quickly.) We walk, play and cuddle. When needed I administer medication, feed them, and sometimes cook for them. I look forward to chatting with you about your family’s needs. When house sitting I do not schedule any other families for walks or drop-ins. The care I provide is all inclusive so that your baby gets all of my love and care. If I am not house sitting, I’m available everyday after 11am for walks and drop-ins within a 1 mile radius of lower Rockridge or easily reachable by public transportation. To ensure safety and comfort, I won’t be walking any other dogs outside of your household. I am available to spend time with your pet(s) in their home where they will be the most comfortable. I’ll come to you for walks.

“Elena was communicative and spent the extra time we needed with our growing pup. After an hour walk, our little guy recharged with a nap with Elena’s company.”

About: I bring over 15 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, with a particular love and comfort level for well-behaved pups of any size. I previously had multiple Great Danes, so managing large, powerful dogs is second nature to me. I know reside with my 15 lb Aussiedoodle in the East Bay. My care style is calm, attentive, and highly personalized. I focus on creating a relaxed, structured environment where dogs feel secure, understood, and genuinely cared for. I especially enjoy long walks, outdoor time, and thoughtful enrichment that keeps dogs mentally engaged as well as physically exercised. Whether your dog thrives on adventure, routine, or simply peaceful companionship, I tailor care to their individual temperament and needs. While I adore dogs of all sizes, I naturally connect with well-mannered large and giant breeds. Their personalities, presence, and gentle nature have always been my sweet spot. My Approach • Calm, grounded energy • Long, engaging walks • Enrichment & mental stimulation • Respect for routines & preferences • Reliable, boutique-style care I understand how important it is to trust someone with your dog. My goal is always to provide a level of care that feels thoughtful, intuitive, and genuinely reassuring. Looking forward to meeting you and your pup 🐾 I have intentionally limited daytime availability, which allows me to provide highly attentive, unrushed care. Rather than juggling multiple bookings, I typically focus on one household per day so your pet receives my full presence, energy, and attention. I own and operate a small business, and during this season I’m choosing to supplement my days doing something I genuinely love — spending time with animals. Caring for pets is something I find grounding, joyful, and deeply rewarding. For walks, I choose safe, calm, low-stress environments. I’m highly mindful of surroundings and well-versed in reading situations to ensure dogs remain comfortable and relaxed. I have extensive experience handling large and giant breeds on leash, and I’m confident managing powerful dogs with steady, grounded energy. Off-leash activity is never an option unless within your pet’s own familiar environment and based entirely on your preferences. Trust & Care for Your Home I understand that inviting someone into your home requires a high level of trust. I treat every home with the same respect, discretion, and care I would expect for my own. I’m naturally tidy, conscientious, and attentive to details — whether that means maintaining cleanliness, following household preferences, or ensuring your space is left exactly as you’d expect. Referrals are gladly provided upon request. I’ve been trained to remain observant and considerate of other dogs, children, and potential stressors, and I proactively navigate walks in a way that prioritizes safety and ease for your dog. Your pet’s well-being, security, and peace of mind are always my highest priority.

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.
