“Irina was extremely attentive to my boys' needs, going above and beyond with giving them treats, playing with them, cleaning their litter box, and sending plenty of updates while I was away on a trip. I had only asked her to keep the boys well fed and ensure their safety, but clearly, my cats had a great time with her around! I recommend Irina to any pet parent in need of care for their beloved pets”

About: I love all animals and have four animals of my own: two dogs (Chico, a cattle dog and Millie, a lab mix) and two cats (Munchie and Boo). One of my cats is diabetic, so I am familiar with, and able to safely perform injections on cats if needed. While I am new to Rover, I have been caring for both cats and dogs of my own for over a decade. I'm currently between jobs, so I am available any time during the day on weekends and week days. My schedule is very flexible to fit the needs of your pet. I am very detail-oriented and am careful to follow all instructions given by the owner. I understand that being left at home can be stressful for many pets and/or owners, and will do whatever I can to make sure that your pets are well cared for while you are away.

About: I currently WFH as a Client Finance Manager and recently completed my MBA degree. Somehow, I still have plenty of free time and absolutely love pups! I have my own 4-year-old cavapoo, Eloise, and an 11-month-old mini poodle mix, Charlie Sheen. We go on walks 2–3 times a day along the beautiful Bay Trail and would love to walk your dog, too! Hire me to dog-sit, dog-walk, or care for your pup—I offer extra attention with snuggles, kisses, and plenty of outdoor time! I am home throughout the day to ensure frequent potty breaks, attention, and regular check-ins. I typically walk dogs twice a day, and with my flexible schedule, I can accept last-minute bookings. I can stay for a few hours at your home, take pups on a long walk, or simply drop by to check in and feed them. I firmly believe all pups should have access to daily cleaned and fresh bowls of water. My car can take me anywhere to care for your pup!

About: I live with two dogs of my own as part of a full multi-pet household, so daily care isn't new to me — it's routine. I have specific experience with senior dogs, including the extra patience and attentiveness that comes with mobility issues, changes in appetite, and adjusted exercise needs. I'm comfortable administering medications — pills, liquids, or topicals — and keep careful notes on dosing and timing so nothing gets missed. My apartment includes an oversized outdoor patio for fresh air and relaxing evenings, and our community also has a dog run that's always accessible for exercise and playtime. Whether your dog is a high-energy pup or a slower-moving senior, I adjust my pace and attention to what they actually need. Pet care is my full-time focus, because I don't work outside the home, my schedule is wide open — which means I can offer walks and drop-in visits at the times that actually fit your pet's routine, not squeezed into a narrow morning-or-evening window like many sitters. Mornings are typically free for early walks or first visits of the day. I have consistent availability through the afternoon for midday drop-ins, potty breaks, or a second walk if your dog needs it. And I'm just as available in the evenings for a final walk or check-in before you're home. Whether your pet needs one visit a day or several spread throughout, I have the flexibility to actually be there when it counts. Safety and trust start with creating a calm, structured environment where pets can settle in and feel at home. My apartment is a full-time, attentive household — with two dogs and several cats of my own, pets who stay or visit here are never left alone for long stretches, and routines (feeding, medication, walks) are followed closely and consistently. I keep a close eye on interactions between visiting pets and my own animals to make sure everyone is comfortable, and I'm attentive to signs of stress so I can adjust the environment as needed — whether that means quiet separate space or supervised introductions. Outdoor time is always supervised, whether that's the patio, a walk, or the community dog run, and I take care to secure doors, gates, and any potential hazards throughout the home. Your pet's safety and comfort are treated with the same level of care as my own.

About: Welcome and hello! I’m Melissa and I offer a stop shop including dog grooming 7 days a week, dog boarding and doggy daycare. I also board rabbits and guinea pigs. Just a 10 minute drive from the San Francisco airport, you can drop off and pick up on your way to the airport. I have over 4,000 square feet of secured, fenced in yard for your dog to play in as well as a shaded patio area and a sunroom that they can lounge in. Your dog will have free access to the back yard as well as give them lots of cuddle time indoors. We are a crate-free home but if you need your pup “crated” we can put him in a gated hallway with their bed, food and water next to my bedroom. The dogs sleep in the front room on dog beds, in open dog houses or on my bed. I typically have about 5 dogs on my bed at one time. #heaven 😊 I grew up on a ranch surrounded by animals, so I am a true animal and dog lover. Over the last 7 years, I have been a dog walker, dog sitter, and a foster home for dogs. I have over 475 5-star reviews on Wag!, and I even have another business named Muttley’s Playhouse which allows me to work from home. I want you to feel confident and safe leaving your dog in my care. I can accommodate all of your needs, including short term stays, extended stays, holidays and doggy daycare, as well as last minute. My current capacity is 9 dogs for daycare and four dogs for overnights. During the holidays, I can accept two more dogs. I will also send plenty of pictures and video updates. I prefer a casual meet and greet prior to booking to make sure that this experience will be a fit for your dog. Daycare drop off starts at 7am until 7pm. Boarding is 24 hrs from drop off. Thanks for reading and I hope your fur baby will be visiting me soon! Daily daycare schedule. Breakfast 6:30-7am. Playtime from 7-7pm. Nap 12-1pm. Dinner 6-7pm. Boarding schedule same as daycare but dogs go to sleep around 8:30pm. :) Caring for pets is such a rewarding experience. I focus on their physical and emotional needs, ensuring they have a structured routine and plenty of social interaction. I make sure they know they're part of the family. ♥️

About: I've been around animals almost my whole life. I volunteered at an animal shelter in high school, have had cats of my own since 2013, pet sat cats and dogs for friends and family, and have had experience raising kittens as well as experience in TNR. Starting in late August I will be unable to visit your pet between 8am-12:30pm during the week as I am a part time preschool teacher. However, I can spend all weekend taking care of your pet. Even though I am working part time, I am more than happy to spend as much time as possible with your pet when you're not able to so they have company until you return home! As a life long animal lover, I understand pets are more than just an animal, they're part of the family. I take time to get to know each pet and will do all I can to ensure that they are always safe in my care, whether during a walk or pet sitting in your home.
