Pet Sitting Downtown

“Patrice is absolutely amazing!! She was attentive, punctual, and had great communication with us while we were on vacation. She even brought over dog-safe bubbles for our dog Elly, which was so cute and thoughtful! We felt completely comfortable and safe leaving Elly in her care.”

“Sofia is an outstanding sitter! I highly recommend her! She’s very kind, communicative, and went above and beyond for my doggie while we were away for a week. The photos and commentary kept my mind at ease and Carter looked like he was enjoying every moment. I’ve booked multiple sitters on Rover, and Sofia is my new favorite by far. Thank you so much for caring for Carter the way I would ♥️”

About: As a dog owner myself, I understand that pets are family. Whether it's keeping up with an energetic puppy, providing patience and comfort for a senior dog, or sticking to your pet's routine, I make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for. I'm reliable, communicative, and committed to giving pet parents peace of mind while they're away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, especially during the summer. As an Athletic Director on summer break, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, check-ins, or simply providing companionship, I can be available throughout the day to ensure your pet receives the care, exercise, and attention they deserve. I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment for every pet. In a client's home, I follow their pet's normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and plenty of attention and affection. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a clean, pet-friendly space with regular exercise, supervision, and opportunities for play and relaxation. My goal is to make pets feel secure, loved, and well cared for while giving owners peace of mind through reliable communication and updates.

“Jesse was so kind to accommodate for my last minute booking. He made sure my pup was taken care of and is a very considerate sitter! Appreciate the regular updates and flexibility. Will definitely recommend him for any future bookings.”

About: My family and I have a love for animals. We have gone through many different species of pets including dogs, cats, hamsters, bunnies, and birds. Apart from my family, I’ve helped house-sit and cared for my friend’s dog for a few years now whenever she’s away. During that time, I’ve handled daily walks, feeding, and making sure the dog feels safe and comfortable at home. I currently work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and extra availability to care for and walk dogs. I’m able to provide consistent attention and accommodate different walking times throughout the week. I like to follow their normal routine to keep them comfortable. I make sure they are fed on time, get regular walks, have fresh water, and receive plenty of attention and playtime.

“Maria did a fantastic job and our cats agree. She was communicative and we had not a single problem to speak of.”

“Lia is the best! She takes such good care of my dog and always goes above and beyond. You can tell she really loves what she does, my pup is always so happy to see her. She gives great updates and sends the cutest pics too. Would recommend her to anyone!”

About: Hi! I’m a UC Berkeley student and a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs! I’m a proud owner of a Ragdoll cat named Saki, and I previously helped raise a Border Collie. Through these experiences, I’ve become familiar with different pets’ personalities, daily routines, feeding, grooming, exercise, and playtime. Caring for a Border Collie taught me the importance of regular exercise, mental stimulation, patience, and positive interaction, especially with energetic and intelligent breeds. I also gained exposure to the Rover pet-sitting process through someone close to me who worked as a sitter on the platform. This helped me understand how important communication, reliability, and following each owner’s instructions are. I’m responsible, detail-oriented, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I have reliable transportation and a flexible schedule, and I’m happy to provide regular photo updates so you can feel confident that your pets are in good hands. I’ll treat your furry family members with the same love and attention I give my own! I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care. I’m available for weekday and weekend visits, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings depending on availability. I also have reliable transportation, making it easy for me to travel to clients’ homes and accommodate different schedules. I’m happy to discuss your pet’s routine and find a schedule that works best for everyone! Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets. Having raised both a Ragdoll cat and a Border Collie, I understand that different animals have different needs, energy levels, and personalities. For dog walks, I pay close attention to leash safety, traffic, weather conditions, and each dog’s comfort and behavior. I’m familiar with the importance of physical exercise and mental stimulation for active breeds. For cats, I respect their personal space, maintain a clean litter box, provide fresh food and water, and make sure they feel comfortable in their environment. When visiting a client’s home, I carefully follow all instructions, keep doors and windows secure, and respect the owner’s property and privacy. I also provide photo updates and communicate promptly if anything unusual happens. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owner is away!

“My first time having a pet sitter and Christina was excellent. My dog normally isnt very friendly but he seems to totally trust Christina by the time I got back. I'd 100% rebook for the next time. Thanks Christina.”

“Jonathan and Chiel are wonderful dog sitters! I have a senior dog who can be a little high maintenance. They are very responsible and attentive with her. They send great updates. I always trust them do a great job. They’re the best!”

“I felt comfortable with Stephan taking care of my dog. He was very responsive and loved my dog (which I find to be very important) My puppy also seemed to respond to him well which makes my heart smile Thank you so much Stephan!!”

“Very professional and willing to be flexible when our plans might have needed to change, and definitely saved us at the last minute! Thank you so much Gwen!”

Henrietta G.

“I just really have to commend Lauren for coming to my rescue at the 11th hour! This was my first time booking through Rover. I didn’t provide enough lead time as I should have for a meet and greet, but she was able to accommodate my schedule and do one the same day that I booked. I truly appreciated that! Lauren was amazing with Queen and Titan! They quickly warmed up to her and loved playing and interacting with her. Lauren sent a thorough report with pictures. Definitely made me feel relieved that they were well taken care of while I was away. We can’t wait to book her again!”

Candace C.

“Vanclee took great care of our two senior cats over a long weekend. Would definitely recommend him and we'll for sure book again!”

About: Erik and I love animals in general but we absolutely love our Dogs and cats! We consistently care for my family Dog named Mookie! Who spends her full time with my Dads family but we care for her as well. We love taking her on adventurous walks,frequent potty breaks whilst sticking to her feeding schedule, and supplement / medication routines. She also loves to join us for car rides as well! Weekly scheduling is possible! We’d love to have consistent clients and build dependable wholesome connections. As our schedule opens up, we will update our availability as well! Whether in our own space or in a clients home we ensure that the pets are getting their needs met by sticking to their routines, offering them comfort through snuggles and play! Or giving them space if they are shy or like to be in their own areas but we continue to keep and eye on them. As far as walks, we ensure that they stay safe on the roads, pay attention to how they are around other animals and also allowing them to take their time.

“Sandee took great care of our kitty, and was super communicative and attentive to all our needs. Our cat was in great hands thanks to her, and she gets my strongest recommendation!”

Miles L.

“Sehaum was extremely kind and patient with our pups, given how skidding and shy they can be. She was timely and communicative before, during and after the visit. I definitely recommend Sehaum to other dog owners, and look forward to working with her again!”
