Aik went above and beyond when I had a time sensitive package unexpectedly delivered while I was out of town. Aik went back to the house 2 extra times to be sure it was put inside without me even asking... I was SO appreciative as it allowed us to enjoy our time away without stressing or having to track down someone else to put it in!

About: I grew up caring for a variety of animals, including dogs, cats, chickens, and hamsters, which helped me develop a strong sense of responsibility and love for animals. I’ve also cared for dogs for friends and family, handling walks, feeding, and keeping them active and engaged. I’m reliable, communicative, and treat every dog with the same care and attention as if they were my own. I work part-time, which gives me a lot of flexibility. I’m available for drop-ins, walks, and pet sitting, and I always make sure pets are happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I care for pets by taking them on safe walks, following their feeding routine, and spending time playing with them. I make sure they’re comfortable, getting enough exercise, and sticking to their normal routine so they feel happy and secure.

About: I’ve taken care of many dogs in my past and also had a dog when I was younger, unfortunately he passed away but I loved every moment with him. I’ve also babysat and cared for relatives dogs many times. I have a very flexible schedule and am not working right now as I have some time off for the summer. I also have a car so I can commute anywhere and am willing to spend a lot of time with pets. When I had a dog who unfortunately passed away last year, I used to be the person that walked him, fed him, and cleaned him, I really enjoyed it and really loved that dog. I have a lot of experience with pets in general and am willing to care for whatever pet comes my way. I’ve always been told I’m a caring person and want to show that to people in need.

About: https://www.rover.com/sit/theodn70757 promo code Hi! I'm a UC Berkeley student and lifelong animal lover with experience volunteering at an animal shelter, caring for my own cat, and pet sitting for friends and family. I know every pet has a different personality, so I always take the time to make them feel comfortable while following your care instructions closely. Whether it's a walk, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping them company while you're away, I'll treat your pet like they're my own. I'll also send plenty of photos and updates so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. I am completely free this summer except for only a few days that I have planned with friends and family. Fast response time and no other responsibilities. I currently have an indoor cat, so I only offer services at clients' homes rather than overnight boarding. I'm patient with shy or anxious pets and always let them warm up at their own pace while respecting each owner's care routine.

About: I have 3+ years of hands-on experience caring for my two cats, and I regularly look after a friend’s Shiba Inu for about a month each year. I’m a native Mandarin Chinese speaker and fluent in English. 欢迎全程使用中文沟通,包括见面了解、照护说明和每次服务后的照片与情况更新。 I’m comfortable with feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, walks, playtime, and following detailed care routines. Living with a shy cat has taught me to be patient, read pets’ body language, and let them approach at their own pace. I pay close attention to changes in appetite, energy, behavior, and litter box habits. I’ll also provide clear photo updates so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I currently have a flexible schedule and can provide drop-in visits and dog walks on weekdays and weekends, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I limit my daily bookings so I can arrive on time, follow each pet’s routine carefully, and give every pet my full attention. I keep my Rover calendar updated and appreciate at least one day’s notice from new clients so we have time to confirm care instructions and arrange a Meet & Greet when needed. I care for pets in the comfort of their own home and follow each owner’s instructions closely. Before the first booking, I prefer a Meet & Greet to review feeding, water, litter boxes, walking routines, home access, emergency contacts, and any health or behavioral needs. During every visit, I make sure doors and gates are secure, keep dogs leashed outdoors, avoid interactions with unfamiliar animals, and respect your home. I also send photos and detailed updates about your pet’s food, water, bathroom habits, energy, and behavior.

Yvette was prompt, attentive, and very professional. I got daily check-in pics and my dog was very happy to have someone to walk with. It was a great match because she was also house sitting for one of my dog’s buddies, and they got to hang out together. Definitely recommend.

About: I love spending time with animals and treat every pet like they're part of my own family. I know every pet has their own personality and routine, so I take the time to make them feel comfortable, happy, and cared for while you're away. Whether it's walks, playtime, cuddles, or just keeping them company, I'll make sure they get plenty of attention and love. My goal is for you to feel confident knowing your pet is safe, happy, and in good hands. I have had dogs and cats my entire life. I can administer oral and subcutaneous medications. I am happy to provide references from former Gilead and Genentech colleagues as well as neighbors. My best friend’s brother is a police detective who knows me well. I graduated with a BA from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, then went on and completed my MBA at Cornell University. I stopped working recently, so I have plenty of time to devote and dedicate to pet sitting. I am available mornings, afternoons and nights, depending on what you and your pet’s schedule requires. Please note I do not offer boarding or pet care services in my own home. I have 2 cats who need to be the only animals in the house.

About: I currently WFH as a Client Finance Manager for an ad agency and recently completed my MBA degree online. Somehow I still have a lot of free time and I love pups! I have my own 4 year old cavapoo Eloise, and an 11 month old mini poodle/mini schnauzer, Charlie Sheen. I have personally trained them both as service dogs via Pettable. We go on walks 2-3x every day along the beautiful bay trail, and would love to walk your dog too! Hire me to dog-sit, dog walk, and take care of your pup; I offer extra attention with snuggles, kisses, and plenty of outdoor time! I currently work from home and have plenty of free time to help walk/play with/babysit pups! I can be extremely flexible regarding time. I have a car and can go anywhere to dog-sit your pup! I can be present for a few hours in the house, take them on a long walk, or simply drop by to check in and feed the pup!

Rachel was amazing!! I cannot express how grateful we are for her. Jeter loved her and actually anticipated her arrival every day!! We were a bit nervous since our dog can be a bit reactive with other dogs on walks, but Rachel handled it very well. We also had an accident with our air conditioner and Rachel immediately reached out to us and took care of the problem(something she definitely didn't have to do) Just amazing in all aspects!! Communication was also great. We knew exactly what was going on with Jeter at all times and Rachel made us feel at ease on our trip. Jeter is looking forward to future visits with Rachel!

I felt very comfortable and reassured knowing that my two cats were being taken care of by Yamzel. I really appreciated how she went above and beyond to check in with me about any specific accommodations they needed and to clarify any instructions. She also provides so many check-in photos, which are wonderful to receive while you’re away on vacation and really give you peace of mind! I’ve booked her twice so far and will gladly continue using her in the future. Highly recommend Yamzel!

Jo-Anne took excellent care of our guinea pig, dependably coming over daily during our long time away. She was kind and caring to our piggie, even going above and beyond to bring over extra homemade toys and looking up ways to enrich our piggie’s day. It was such a comfort to know that Jo-Anne was there every day, and we really appreciate her diligent care of our little one. Thank you so much, Jo-Anne!
