About: Hi there! I'm an experienced pet sitter with over 10 years of professional experience right here in El Cerrito. I've had the pleasure of caring for all sorts of animals, from playful pups to quiet cats, and I truly love what I do. My goal is to provide your beloved pet with personalized, loving care, whether it's a fun walk, playtime, or just some comforting company. You can relax knowing your furry family member is in capable and caring hands while you're away. I'm excited to meet you and your pets! I have opened availability because I am a substitute teacher and do not work during the summers. I will schedule my availability around your pets needs. I provide loving attention, regular exercise, and a safe environment for pets in both my home and yours. I ensure they have playtime, cuddles, and consistent routines, keeping them happy and comfortable while you're away. Your pets are family! 🐾❤️
“Fiona did a great job taking care of my dogs while I was away. I really appreciated all of the photos she sent of the pups having a good time. I would recommend her to anyone who has high energy dogs that need to get that energy out!”
“Nick is one of my go to’s! He is local for me and is very communicative. He leaves my house tidy and I trust him with the fur babies when I’m away. Thanks for always being patient and doing a great job.”
“Spectacular pet sitter! She took are of our two pups, one of whom is quite old (18 years). She communicated frequently and sent pictures. Our old little dog has been slowing down, but after 5 days with Irina, he seems re-energized.”
“Anita was fantastic while watching Hobbes, very communicative and caring for her while I was away. Everything was nice and orderly when I came back. I’ll definitely look to book with her again next time I have to travel! Thanks Anita ?”
“A great big Thank you to Desiree for caring for my two fur babies while I was away from home for two days. I had total peace of mind while my dogs were in her care. This was my very first time using Rover and I'm grateful for such a positive experience. I will definitely contact Desiree for future dog sitting jobs!”
“Natasia was a wonderful house and dog sitter. She seemed at ease with a larger dog and made Honey feel comfortable right away. I could tell by the way that Honey interacted with Natasia that he liked her 💖🐶 Which warmed my heart and helped me feel less sad to leave. Very much looking forward to Honey getting to spend time with Natasia again.”
“Hannah was an excellent sitter for Bisco. She kept me updated with pictures and information on times Bisco was walked and fed. She was very prompt and understanding of my worries with Bisco. Our home was left very clean! I've never felt more comfortable with anyone on the Rover app caring for Bisco. When we came home he was happy and calm, more so than any other time being left with a new person. I would reccomend Hannah to anyone and if I need Sitter service in the future I would absolutely ask Hannah again! Perfect all around!”
“We couldn’t be more thankful for Suzy who came in on an extremely short notice situation when our normal sitter wasn’t able to make it. She was amazing with our puppy and just an amazing person and a truly nice and caring addition to our puppies small little world. We will most certainly be having her back into our home to take care of our little guy diesel. We are so looking forward to booking with Suzy again and wish we could give her six stars. Also her communication was excellent within five minutes of submitting a request she called and we talked on the phone and she made me feel comfortable and safe with her in our home and with our fur baby.”
“Carlo was an amazing dog sitter for us! He was on time and communicated very well with detailed updates about the dogs care. He went above and beyond in providing exercise and loving care for our furry guy and we would definitely utilize him as a caretaker again. Thank you Carlo!”
About: I’ve trained two puppies into adulthood. My very first dog is my Australian cattle dog, Goji, and my second dog is my Belgian Malinois, Koda. I know how challenging puppies. Goji was a reactive puppy but we worked through it together. I love caring for dogs and teaching them how to be the best version of themselves. I lead a super active lifestyle and if your fur baby loves a good hike, then I’m the sitter for you! I dedicate my evenings to my pups. Nothing is more important to me than their well-being and I’m very strict on sticking to their routine. My main focus in the evenings is spending quality time with my pets by getting them worked out and tired by either playing, long walks or taking them to the dog park to let out their energy. I like to reward dogs with treats and maintain my patience when we are hit with challenges. Nothing is more important to me than to make sure your dog receives the love and care they deserve, just as I would want for my pets.
“If you get the opportunity to book any service with Maikala, JUMP ON IT!! She was an overnight house/pet sitter for our 2 senior doggies for two weeks and I can't tell you the relief I felt after our meet & greet knowing our fur babies and house were in such EXCELLENT hands the whole 2 weeks we were away. One of our dogs is basically blind and deaf, both need daily oral meds, and the other one needs eye drops 3x/day. She handled all of that with ease on top of giving our pups lots of snuggles, walks and love. I'm pretty sure they were bummed to see us come home and her leave them (kidding, not kidding). She also sent videos, photos, and check-in texts throughout our vacation to continue to give us peace of mind. When an issue came up with the dogs getting into a little scuffle, she calmly handled the situation and appropriately contacted me; I appreciated her judgment in the moment. On top of all this, Maikala also took care of our fish, turtles, plants, garbage, mail and even unloaded our Instacart grocery bags on our last day away so we would have food when we got home! She is kind and trustworthy, warm yet professional. You can tell she really desires to provide the best care she can. Her services were worth every penny and we are definitely booking her for our next vacation!”
About: Growing up I was always fond of dogs and would always want to take care of them and be around them. I was taking care of big and small dogs with no problem. I have a mini pinscher/chihuahua mix dog that is my literal son. I will eventually start school on August 25 but, as of right now I am available at any time during the day, noon, and night. Their safety and comfort is my number one priority. I am responsible for their well being so I make sure they are fed and got their exercise for the day.
“Sofia was a delight to work with! She took great care of our Oliver who is admittedly not always the quickest to warm up to people. Sofia provided great updates, and also took great care of our house. We would love to have her pet sit for Oliver again!”
“Alex took care of my dog in my house for a few days. She left it very clean and tidy, my boy seemed very happy. I could not ask for more! I highly recommend her.”
“Kendra did a fantastic job sitting our Luna.”
“Kaitlin house sat for us and was very attentive of our dogs. We got great (seriously awesome) photos of our fur babies, including the cats. She took a pretty last minute request and was really prompt to communicate to, so would definitely recommend!”
About: I've worked my entire 30+ year career taking care of people and their animals. I've five years in private in-home care for seniors, eight years in childcare, and over 10 years caring for the pets of my friends, family, and relations thereof. Cats, dogs, hamsters, birds, and even a pair of ferrets! I'm pretty good at connecting and animals tend to read that. I'm all about healthy treats, balanced food options, great nutrition, and appropriate exercise; and as a former chef and caregiver, I love cooking for pets too! While I don't currently have any pets of my own, I'm also happy to just chill out with your pet for anxiety reducing calm and comfort. Need someone to be attentive and sensitive to your pet's needs? I'm your Girl! I'm currently working remotely, part-time Tuesday through Thursday. My work is pretty flexible and I can take it with me wherever I go, though I do require notice so I can prepare and make adjustments if needed. I'm open to negotiating outside of calendar hours listed. Just reach out and ask! If I'm unable to make it work, I'll let you know. I'm a fun-loving soul that, simply, adores animals! I'm happy to care for your pup or meowser at your East Bay home. I can stay or stop by to play, spend quality time, or just water, feed, and walk your furry friend if that's what you need. While I haven't any formal medical training for pets, I'm detail oriented and good with instructions. I'm here to help out, so if you have any questions about special needs, just ask.
About: I am a loving and friendly dog sitter! I grew up with two dogs, a poodle and a Chihuahua. My family currently has a bull terrier that I love very much. I also take care of my best friend's dog when she is out of town. I love dogs and going on walks so this combination is perfect for me. I am currently a nanny to one of nephews as needed but I am free every day during the summer to take care of your furry babies. I make sure I read their cues of needing water/food, when they need to pee/poop, when they're overstimulated, stressed, or happy. I also make sure to pet them and show them love by scratching them, patting them, and rubbing them. I also follow any schedule that is given to me to make sure they stick to their normal routine.

Vanessa R.
“Vanessa has dog sitted my Siberian Husky on multiple occasions when I am out of town. I have a very particular way on preparing my dogs food and I know Vanessa knows exactly how to feed her. I know that whenever I am out of town she is someone I trust completely to take care of my dog. She takes her out on walks and around my neighborhood and on hikes. If she ever has questions or concerns she will reach out to me.”
