“Trustworthy sitter that was super flexible with our schedule and attentive to our pup’s needs! House was spotless and dog was happy upon our arrival home. Will definitely plan to invite again!”
“Samantha was great with my two fur babies during the holidays: communicative and sending pics throughout the stay. She was also super patient with all of the security at my complex. Would definitely recommend to anyone who needs someone to look after their furry companions!”
“Josie was amazing and totally saved the day when our other pet sitter fell through! She took great care of our pup who is reactive / can be a bit of a menace - sent plenty of photos - and was very communicative and professional. We’d be thrilled to work with her again.”
“Bryanna was great! Ready to jump in and help in anyway possible. Took a last minute booking that REALLY helped us. Bryanna was more than happy to go over details with us before the sitting. All the questions Bryanna asked us about our dog and his needs made it apparent that our dog would be cared for while we were gone. We came back to a happy, tired, and well-cared for dog! Would absolutely book again 😊”
“Tami was the absolute best! She sent me lots of pictures and updates on Maggie while I was on vacation and made sure she got plenty of walks and pets and cuddles! I could not recommend Tami enough.”
About: While I'm new to Rover, I have over 10 years experience taking care of my friends and family's cats, dogs, insects, and plants. I'm excited to start this business on Rover and extend that pet/plant care to the people in my East Bay community! I'm a landscape horticulture student in Oakland, so when I'm not in class, working in my garden, or spending time with my own kitties, I love taking care of my friends, neighbors, and families' pets. They bring so much silliness and happiness into my routine! When walking your dogs or taking care of your pets in your home, respect, safety, and trust are my top priorities. The pet parents I work with know their pets best, and I take their guidance and wishes very seriously. When I'm housesitting, I treat clients' homes with even more respect than I treat my own.
“Kasey took wonderful care of my two corgis. Luna is usually cautious with new people, but she was comfortable right away. I received lots of photos and videos of happy walks and fun runs at the dog park. The house was in excellent condition, and I got updates several times a day. Highly recommend!”
“Adela is fantastic! Adela follows all my instructions and cares for my dog (Bowie) as if he was her own. Adela stays overnight at my home and she is super respectful, clean and kind. Highly recommend!”
“If there were 6 stars, I'd give them to Hollie. She is the epitome of conscientious, responsible, and caring. Our flight home was delayed and she even changed her plans so she could stay longer. Our shih tzu loves being with her - from a drop-in walk to a 3-night stay - and we're eager to have Hollie back as soon as our next need arises. I cannot recommend this sitter more highly.”
“Sasha is so caring, kind, and loving with our animals. She left a super clean house, was extremely communicative, very reliable and so respectful with our home. She is also extremely responsible and goes out of her way to make sure the animals get everything they need—walks, food, and treats—while we are away. I feel so lucky to have our animals in her care. We will definitely work with her again!”
“Qishu was fantastic! She was so communicative and easy to work with, she made the time to meet me/our puppy first so we all felt good about the set up, she sent great updates that showed he clearly had the best time hanging out with her!”
“Jordan was amazing with my dogs. I have an energetic Olde English Bulldog and a big Saint Bernard that’s picky about who he trusts and she did very well with them. Took them on lots of walks outside and sent tons of cute photos while I was out. She even made an adorable hand drawn card of the two of them. I would highly recommend her if you need someone to watch your dogs at your place.”

Hollie watched our senior old man dog while we were away. It had been over a year since we’d last left him with a sitter and she was very communicative and sent lots of pictures and updates that helped ease our minds. Was courteous and thoughtful in doing laundry for us so it was clean upon our return home. A great sitter and would recommend her to anyone!
Sara was a wonderful cat sitter! This was the longest I’d ever been away from my cat Hopper but she put my mind at ease - Sara was a great communicator, sent cute photo and video updates, and kept on top of Hopper’s health. She also took great care of my apartment. Hopper definitely has a new bestie. I’d highly recommend booking with Sara!
Elisa was wonderful with our Chow Chow, Poppy. Chows can be a little reserved with new people, but Elisa was incredibly patient, calm, and understanding, which helped Poppy feel comfortable. She kept us updated with messages and photos throughout the stay, and it was clear Poppy was well cared for and happy. She also took great care of our home and was thoughtful, reliable, and easy to communicate with from start to finish. We came home to a relaxed dog and everything exactly as we left it, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We would absolutely book Elisa again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate sitter!! Thank you Elisa!
Feel so lucky to have found Rich! He took wonderful care of my dog, Tova. He sent daily photos and I knew she was in good hands while I was away. I came back home to a clean house and a thorough report on Tova’s behavior. Rich clearly loves animals and has a keen sense of their needs.
Tenzin stayed at my place and took care of my rescue dog for the weekend. She left my home even cleaner than she found it and truly went above and beyond with housekeeping. She did everything I asked in caring for my dog, but it's difficult to speak to how the stay actually went because there was little communication during or after the stay about how my dog was doing, how they bonded, and if there were any challenges or notable moments. That said, she was responsive when I reached out during the stay and got the sense that things went smoothly.
Adela has watched out two cats a few times now and she’s always so wonderful! She answers messages quickly, sends lots of pictures and follows all their care instructions so well ❤️✨she also house sits for us and sleeps overnight at the house to make sure its secure and our boys are safe! We highly reccommend her! ✨
Bryanna was A-MAZ-ZING. she sent me multiple updates a day along with photos and videos. My kitty can get sad and low energy when I travel, so it was so nice to see her engage burger with playtime and toys! My house was super clean after she left so will 100% be hiring Bryanna again!
Emilia and Ion are a super team! They do a great job for our weekly walks and an even better job as house & pet sitters! They visiting our two dogs 4x daily and generously kept them company inbetween visits too! They even watered our garden! I couldn’t ask for a single thing more in a sitter and will definitely be using them again
Rob was the BEST sitter. He went above and beyond in every respect -- from meeting the girls twice before his sit to make sure they were comfortable with him, to sending us pics and updates throughout his stay, to making sure our home was perfect upon our arrival, he exceeded our expectations. Our girls loved him, and they were happy, well exercised, and healthy when we got home. Definitely would recommend Rob as a doggy sitter for everyone!
We were so happy with Jo! For the meet and greet, Jo was incredibly patient and warm and proactive, even with our Enzo’s silly behavior. Fortunately, with Jo’s care, Enzo warmed up very quickly and returned the love. We were very glad to witness Enzo’s good behavior, quirkiness and relaxed mood - as seen from Jo’s frequent photo updates and communication. On top of being good caregiver, she went above and beyond to also care for our home. We hope our pup will get to reunite with Jo, his new best friend, again someday.
Tim is amazing! Would rebook him anytime. Super detailed about care and directions, great updates and just overall made me feel at ease about leaving Louie, who has some senior special needs, in his care. It’s hard to find people that are as kind and thoughtful about your pet and home, but Tim is that person. Thank you so much.
