About: I know leaving your pet is tough! I will provide your pet with all the attention, playtime and care as if they were my own. Have experience with puppies and kittens to senior dogs and cats. Looking forward to looking after you loved family member! I'll be able to care for your pet on the weekends with a flexible schedule throughout the day. Every now and then I have availability during the weekdays to care for your pet after 7:30pm. I provide a loving and caring environment for your pet by giving them all the praise, pets, and love they deserve. I try to give your pet a sense of routine and provide companionship while you're away.

About: I am a patient, animal-loving sitter. Comfortable with dogs of all sizes and ages, I have experience training and offering positive reinforcement for my own dogs as well as my friends and neighbors. I have rescued 3 hospice dogs, and am comfortable and confident caring for senior dog and those who need medications or physical assisance, including deaf and blind dogs. I'm known in my neighborhood as the woman to call when a dog is loose or a stray is in the area and I have connections at multiple rescue organizations! I'm currently working remotely in 9-5 setting, which limits my flexibility somewhat. However, as a pet parent myself, I understand the need to maintain routine for your pet, especially in your absence, so I’m happy to work with you to keep your pet as comfortable as possible. I will look to you for understanding the limitations of your comfort with your pet, and will follow your instructions to a T! In your home, I will be respectful of any rules and restrictions. On walks, unless notified, I will provide positive reinforcement and stay on leash and avoid meeting all strangers and other animals.

“Jiaji took such great care of Ginger! The updates were detailed and reassuring, and it was clear they were attentive to her needs on the walk. They made sure she had fresh water, paced the walk based on her energy, and gave her lots of affection. Ginger came back happy and content. I would definitely recommend Jiaji to anyone looking for a caring and reliable walker!”

About: My eldest started working for Rover a couple years back and began working privately. In this process, I began helping at times and grew to enjoy the company of animals. I have a property that allows both outdoor play and a style home that allows me to keep my children kept apart for mutual safety if required. I enjoy all animals and unlike popular norms, I love both cats and dogs the same! Providing this service allows me to care for and enjoy animals without the long term commitments that come with owning pets. I have also cared for seniors and understand both the value and what is required in caring for others, humans and animals alike. Pet care is easy for me as I have a set up that allows it to be done relatively seamlessly. I work from home and design my own schedule allowing for me adapt to needs of animals with ease I have a fenced backyard and two story home that allows me to provide space required for the needs of your pet. My neighborhood is on a quiet street (cul-de-sac) on a hill allowing for me to easily walk pets.

About: Hi, Meghan here, I have always been a dog-lover, and currently have a lovable fluffy husky. I live in Oakland with my mom, a fellow dog-lover! I allow our furry friends on the couch, but can also work on furniture-boundaries if your pooch isn't allowed on furniture at your own home. I work from home, so I'll be home most of the day during the weekdays. The longest your pup will be home alone (with my pups) is around 5 hours. I am comfortable with big dogs. I can give medications, and can brush your pooch as well! Here's a little about us: Meghan has been a dog-lover since birth. She grew up with dogs of all shapes and sizes. Treesa loves pups of all sizes! Meet my pets: Just the dogs! About my yard We have a fenced backyard. My experience administering medication We are comfortable administering oral medication. **We do have a Potty Clause. We understand accidents happen, and are very forgiving, as pups are often excited and can't help themselves at first. However, we have occasionally had extreme repeat offenders. We take dogs on the basis that they are potty trained. If we feel there are an excessive number of indoor incidents, we will let you know, and ask for a $10 additional fee (per week, or fraction thereof), to cover the cost of laundry and cleaning supplies.** Thanks! I work from home so your pup will hang out with me and Winston at home, join us on walks, and get to spend the day with us! I have a fenced yard. Security gate at my back door means fresh air without escape opportunity. We're working on installing a dog door, so that should happen later this year!

“DaQuan kept me up to date and was great with the pups. Thank you!”

About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to gentle seniors. My care includes feeding, walking, playtime, administering medications when needed, and making sure pets feel safe and loved while their owners are away. I treat every dog as if they were my own, focusing on their unique routines and personalities. I’m a college student so I have a lot of free times in my hands. There isn’t anything else I’d rather do than to spend time with your doggies If pets are in my home, I provide a safe and welcoming environment with plenty of supervision, cozy spaces for rest, and opportunities for play and exercise. I always use secure leashes and watch closely on walks to keep pets safe. My goal is to give each pet the right balance of structure, affection, and fun so they feel loved and well cared for.

About: As avid dog lovers with over 15 years of experience, we've cared for various breeds, including our own Shih Tzu who sadly passed away last year. We also frequently looked after our brother’s French Bulldog, who happily reunited with our Shih Tzu, and a Siberian Husky, along with other family dogs. Living in a pet-friendly community with ample grassy areas, your pups will have plenty of space to roam and play. Before your drop-off, we'd love to arrange a meet and greet to acquaint ourselves with you and your furry companions! This is not our first time on Rover. We have been dog-sitting on Rover for about 3 years. The first two years were under a different account with our mom because of age. So we did it together with our parents and were very happy with both animal and human clientele who were just as happy with our services. If you would like to see reviews from then I can send over those Rover Account details as well! We understand the importance of ensuring both you and your beloved pets have peace of mind while you're away, and we're dedicated to providing them with a safe and enjoyable experience under our care! We are currently completely free, accommodating both weekdays and weekends. Our days will be completely catered to the needs of your babies. We understand the importance of convenience, offering flexible pick-up and drop-off times, including same-day services. Whether it's a weekday, weekend, or holiday, we're here to ensure seamless care for your beloved pets. We offer a fenced backyard patio and expansive grassy areas within our community, and we're happy to provide photos of the surroundings upon request prior to booking. Alternatively, we can arrange a meet and greet so you can explore our dog-friendly and secure neighborhood firsthand. Our area boasts ample walking spaces and provides poop bags for your convenience. For crate-trained dogs, we recommend bringing their crate to ensure their comfort. Additionally, please bring any items that will help your dog feel at ease and secure during their stay. If your dog requires medication, be sure to bring it along. While we do offer some dog treats, feel free to bring your pup's favorites to ensure they feel right at home. Your pets' comfort and safety are our top priorities, and we strive to make their stay as enjoyable as possible!
