About: Hi my name is Brian,I have experience with cats and dogs and various reptiles ( chameleons, bearded dragon and frogs etc), I have a dog named taz and two tabby cats named Fish sticks and Ruffles. I provide personalized pet care with a focus on safety, comfort, and companionship. With experience in caring for senior pets, and managing special needs, I ensure your furry friend feels comfortable and provide them with the care they deserves. Whether it's a daily walk, playtime, or administering medications, I tailor my approach to each pet's unique needs." "My pet care schedule is flexible and designed to fit the unique needs of each pet. I typically start my day with morning walks and feeding sessions, followed by mid-day playtime or training, and end with a cozy evening cuddle or final walk. For longer stays, I offer multiple check-ins throughout the day to keep your pet active and engaged. I can also accommodate weekend and evening care based on your pet's needs!" When caring for pets in my client’s home, I prioritize safety, trust, and a comfortable environment to ensure each pet feels secure and loved. My goal is to treat every pet with the same love and care I give my own, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and well-cared-for at all times.

“Elena was easy to communicate with and clearly has years of experience with dogs. She walked our two 100lbs German Shepherds & our boys had a great time. We’ll be booking again - definitely recommend!”

About: When my friend's dog sitter cancelled last minute before her trip, she asked me to take care of her dog, Chief. Although I was new to caring for dogs, my experience with my Persian cat gave me the confidence to help out. Welcoming Chief into my home, I quickly fell in love with his playful antics and loyal companionship. What began as a favour soon turned into a deep bond between us. Since then, I’ve become the go-to sitter for all my pet parent friends. Working from home and being a responsible, available person has made me the perfect choice for taking care of their furry friends. Being a part time student with no job grants me the flexibility to provide care during weekdays without any hassle. With my weekends mornings predominantly free, I can easily accommodate and work around a flexible schedule to ensure that your needs are met efficiently and effectively. My house is in a gated community with a small fenced yard which provides an added layer of safety. When taking care of pets, I ensure they have a great time with outdoor adventures; Taking dogs for long walks in the park, games of fetch, tug-of-war, and hide-and-seek to keep them active and entertained and providing a cozy space for them to relax and nap, ensuring they feel safe and at home.

“Oh my gosh!! When I tell you I had the best best best best experience with Aileen, I definitely did! She was outstanding with my little Lisa. I could just tell by all the photos and video updates I got of her while I was gone she was having a blast!!! She was definitely cared for like it was her own dog! Lisa was loved, cuddled, played, and well taken care of!! I wouldn't chose any other pet sitter then her! 1000000% would check her out! Loads and loads of photos and videos from the visit. Aileen does everything just like you so your doggy feels at home!! Lisa will definitely miss Aileen, and can't wait for her to go back when I need a sitter again!!!!”

About: I’ve had my dog, turtle, and fish for over 10 years. I’ve also had several cats for a few years. I’m willing to take care of any animal! I am currently out of school and will be available any time for pet care. Whatever time works best for you and your pets will work for me. I am respectful of others’ homes and will be mindful of your space when coming over to watch or walk your pets. I am comfortable with my ability to get pets in crates when needed as well.

“Halona was great with my two dogs and made sure they were both tired from their walk & happily settled in before leaving. She’s great and I would highly recommend!”

Kim M.

“Elaine was great, we have had her walk Mochi before and she is very responsive and responsible. She updated me on the walk and how Mochi was doing. Highly recommend her for your pups and we will see her again soon!”

About: Hi! I’m Haley, and animals have always been at the heart of my life. I share my home with three wonderful dogs—each with their own personality, special needs, and routines—which has taught me the importance of patience, positive reinforcement training, and gentle care. I have hands-on experience with: • Administering daily medications, allergy treatments, and special diets • Puppy training (basic commands, “leave it,” “stay,” leash work, and enrichment games) • Providing enrichment and mental stimulation (treat puzzles, scent games, and structured play) • Managing multi-dog households, including dogs with anxiety or reactivity • Prioritizing safety indoors and outdoors, including secure yard setups and supervised play I understand every pet is unique, and I’m dedicated to making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved—whether it’s during a walk, a drop-in visit, or an overnight stay. I work every other week at Joybound until about 3 PM, which means I’m available mornings, evenings, and most weekends that week. On my off weeks, I’m fairly flexible and can offer daytime care, midday walks, and extra availability for drop-ins or house sitting. This rotating schedule helps me balance consistent, quality care and makes it easier to accommodate both regular and last-minute requests! 🏡 In my home: • I provide a calm, pet-safe environment with secure areas (indoors & yard). • Pets get daily enrichment like treat puzzles, scent games, and toy play to keep them mentally and physically engaged. • I stick to each pet’s feeding schedule and any medication routines they have. • Walks, potty breaks, and cuddle time are balanced around your pet’s normal routine so they feel at home. • Pets have cozy spots for rest, and I supervise interactions if there are multiple pets, making sure everyone feels safe and comfortable. 🏠 In your home: • I keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible — same walk routes, feeding times, play sessions, and sleep spots. • I follow your care instructions closely, including special diets, medications, or training rules you use. • I keep your home tidy: washing bowls, picking up waste, watering plants if requested, and bringing in mail/packages. • I give updates and photos so you can see your pets are happy and relaxed while you’re away.

“Paloma was a huge help when we needed someone to fill in while our usual dog walker was on vacation. I enjoyed her daily report cards and photos and you could tell the dogs loved her. I would definitely hire her again.”

About: I’ve been rescuing and caring for animals for over 20 years. The joy and compassion that an animal can provide is difficult to describe, but is felt for a lifetime. I’ve worked with cats/kittens, dogs/puppies, pigs/piglets and tortoises. My goal is to become a dog trainer and help families better connect with their dogs and animals. I find myself having downtime and would love to help other animals and their families by providing a much needed walk, enriching playtime or even overnight boarding. I work part-time from home Monday through Friday and have a flexible schedule. I can provide daily walks, enrichment playtime and boarding. Walks are key to a happy, relaxed and well-behaved pup and it’s a priority for my dogs every day. In my home, I have two fenced yards, dog crates of all sizes and too many pet beds to count. I take care of pets with different medical needs and medications. I can provide the same care at a client’s home as I do my own.

About: **Please check my schedule to see if we are a good match! Thanks and I look forward to speaking with you!** Hi there! I’m Lexi, a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for pets of all shapes and sizes. I offer boarding, dog walking, drop-ins, cat care, and house sitting—and I treat every pet like they’re family. I’ve owned and cared for animals my whole life. Cats and dogs as well as other types of animals. My beautiful husky, Nya, had developmental disabilities since birth, and had seizures. She became partially blind and deaf, and wore diapers near the end of her life and required very specific, round the clock care. She taught me patience, compassion, and how to stay calm in tough situations. My cat, Kiki Bobo, just passed away recently, he was 20 years old 😔 So right now caring for other’s pets brings me so much purpose and absolute joy. My mom has run a cat sanctuary for feral and homeless cats for nearly 10 years, so I’ve been around many different types of cats with different temperaments. In my full-time job, I work with children with autism, and other developmental disabilities—it’s my passion. That experience has made me patient, observant, and calm under pressure, which carries over into how I care for animals, too. I’m also CPR certified. I’ve cared for all kinds of dogs, from strong, lovable pit bulls, large Great Pyrenees, to tiny (and sometimes feisty!) Chihuahuas. I’ve done many pet and house sitting jobs, caring for a wide range of types of animals and properties — including caring for large vegetable, fruit, and herb gardens! So whether it’s giving meds, watering plants, or keeping a nervous pet company, I’m happy to go the extra mile. I’ve always worked through friends and word of mouth, I used to live in a small northern Ca. Town where everybody knew each other; So I’m new to Rover! I thought it’d be a great way to expand, now that I’m living in the Bay Area again and in my apartment that I just moved into in April. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family members, and I take that responsibility seriously. Your pets will be safe, loved, and spoiled with attention while you’re away. I love sending photos and plenty of updates while you’re away, and am happy to follow any special instructions at your request. Let me know your pet’s routine, preferences, or quirks—I’m flexible and ready to meet their needs! If you fur baby is comfortable with potty breaks or drop ins every 4-8.5 hours, then I am the perfect fit! I do work a full-time job during the week, but I have breaks some days in the afternoon that give me time to offer potty breaks, and drop in visits. I’m also always available early mornings and evenings every day of the week, and all day availability on weekends. If your dog is comfortable with potty breaks every 8-9 hours, then I am available 24/7 for boarding. However, for dogs that need potty breaks at minimum every 4 hours, my availability is Wednesdays-Mondays. If you can pick up your pup by 8am, I can board until Tuesday mornings as well. I can meet for a meet and greet, dog drop offs/pick ups, and drop in visits at these times: M,T: 6-8:15am, 6-10pm W: 6-8:15am, 1-1:40pm, 6-10pm Th: 6-8:15am, 12:30-3pm, 6-10pm Fri: 6-8:15am, 6-10pm. Sat-Sun: All day availability If your availability needs are just outside of this range, please contact me as we may still be able to work something out, I often have cancellations with my job and may have more availability than listed, and may be able to make special accommodations so please do reach out! Also open to earlier and later options (for example: 5:30am / 10pm for drop off and pick up ) Drop in visits: See above availability. However to make it more simple below is the general availability I have for drop in care for cats and dogs: Monday: Morning, Evening visits Tuesday: Morning, Evening visits Wednesday: Morning, Afternoon, Evening visits Thursday: Morning, Afternoon, Evening visits Friday: Morning, Evening visits Sat & Sun: All day availability for visits Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities—whether they’re staying in my home or I’m caring for them in yours, or going for a walk in the community with your pet. In my home, pets get a cozy, calm environment with plenty of love and attention. Your pet will get family-style care in a warm, loving atmosphere. Feel free to provide any bedding, toys, medications or any required items that might make your pet’s stay more comfortable or enjoyable. I also have poop bags, doggie beds, and toys for enrichment available at my residence, that are washed and sanitized after each pet’s stay. I have a toddler son who is gentle, respectful, and used to being around dogs of all sizes— including bully breeds like pitbulls, and small dogs like chihuahuas. My child will be supervised at all times. We’re a smoke-free home, and kid- and pet-friendly that’s focused on comfort and safety. Our fully enclosed, spacious outdoor patio is on the second floor and surrounded by 5-foot stone walls, giving your dog a secure place for potty breaks, sunbathing, and hangout time. For pups who need more exercise, we’re located in the heart of downtown concord, and just a short walk from parks and open fields where they can explore on leash. When caring for pets in their own home, I follow all instructions carefully and keep your pet’s routine consistent to help them feel safe and at ease. I am very comfortable and familiar with caring for pets and households that may have a long list of specific instructions, including medications that must be followed very carefully. I’m happy to follow any and all of those kind of requests. I’m respectful of your space, and always patient and gentle—especially with senior pets, rescues, pets with anxiety, or those with special needs. I have experience caring for and watching over animals with developmental disabilities and specific medical needs such as requiring multiple daily medications, special diets, or may have trouble seeing or hearing. I have also cared for dogs and cats whom have just had surgery, extensive medical procedures, and those that are terminally ill, with cancer. I’m safety-conscious in every setting: I double-check gates and doors, keep pets leashed in unfamiliar or open areas, and always watch closely for signs of stress or discomfort. My goal is to help your pets feel secure, relaxed, and truly cared for—like they’re part of the family.
