House Sitting in El Sobrante

“Fiona was great with nightly updates and pictures of our pups. She even made sure to leave our house in excellent shape when she left. We look forward to booking with her again.”

“We loved having Vivian around. She came to our place while me and my husband were traveling and took really good care of our dogs. She texted us everyday and let us know how everything was going. She also left the house tidy and everything in order. We’ll definitely contact her to stay here again on our next trip. Thanks Vivian”

“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.”

About: Hi! I work as a nature-based mentor for teens during the day, and bring the same calm, grounded presence to the animals I care for. I grew up with cats and have experience looking after large dogs—including three strong, loving pit bulls—so I’m comfortable with pets of all sizes and temperaments. Whether your animal needs play, patience, or just someone solid while you're away, I'm here to help. I work part-time during weekday afternoons, which means I have flexible availability in the mornings, evenings, and weekends. Pet care fits beautifully into my rhythm—I love starting or ending the day with walks, check-ins, or quality time with animals. I’m reliable, communicative, and happy to coordinate a schedule that works for you and your pet. When caring for pets in their own home, I prioritize creating a calm, consistent, and respectful environment. I follow your instructions closely and take time to understand each pet’s unique needs, routines, and personalities. Whether it’s sticking to feeding schedules, administering meds, or giving space when needed, I show up with presence and patience. I treat your home with care and integrity, always leaving it as I found it—or better.

“We absolutely love Desiree, our dogs/cat are so happy when we get home and very well taken care of. Desiree has pet sit for us twice now, in home and overnights, and so happy we have found her. She is very responsible and communicative. Thanks you Desiree for all the care you give our furr babies!”

About: Neighbors, family, and friends have trusted my to help care for their pets for years. I grew up with a household of cats and a dog. I have cared for my pets from just a few weeks old all the way through their senior years. I work remotely full-time so would love to take your pup on a walk in the mornings or evenings or just pop in for a daily check. I can also stay overnight for care too. I am happy to care for your pet just as you would. If there is a special park or routine you have, I'd love to hear it!

About: I have a B.S. in Animal Biology. I grew up with dogs, hamsters, fish, turtles and chickens. I own three cats currently and cannot wait to get a dog later! I worked in a lab at UC Davis where I cared for aquatic animals (axolotls!!) and I cat sit for friends whenever they are out of town. Growing up with dogs throughout my life, I am well accustomed to their needs. I have also volunteered at animal shelters and an animal hospital where caring for cats and dogs is the name of the game!! I would love to meet your babies and give them the best care. I am a Registered Behavioral Technician that goes to clients homes to administer ABA services. I have flexible hours throughout the day between different clients M-F and I have fully open weekends to care for your babies- dog, cat, or both! When in a clients home, I am respectful and take care to leave things as they were or better. I can follow a variety of care schedules, as I have followed specific lab protocols of care in the past and I have experience with my friends varying animal care preferences and needs.

“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 ?”

“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.”

“Nick is great with our dogs. They instantly liked him the second they met him in our initial meet and greet. He came on time and kept me updated on the dogs. Will definitely use his service again in the future.”

About: My previous dog was a border collie so I am well versed in training energetic pups who want jobs. Clients have told me that their pup comes home better behaved than when they were dropped off! I tend to garden and do alot of work in my garage so your pup will join me in those spaces as well as walks up throughout the neighborhood and at the local park to meet other pups. I often try to schedule walks with neighbor’s doggies so we can walk together to socialize both humans and canine. If you need additional references, I am more than happy to provide some from previous clients. I look forward to spending time with your buddy! Hope to see you both soon. I now have a sweet rescue puppy I fostered then adopted who loves to play. She stops at the street corner for me to say she can cross. She can do “down” at a distance and will stay until released even when she does not have me in view. I work from home so have plenty of time to interact and just be there for my girl and your pup. We love going to beach park and swimming. My yard is fenced. There is a front and back yard so they can have plenty of outside time even at home. I also live close to parks where pups can romp.

About: Hi! My name is Amara and I have 4 cats! I have grown up with cats in my household since I was little. I fostered kittens and did pet sitting on Rover from 2018-2020 with my family. I pet sit for family friends and am very excited to be back on Rover getting to know all of your furbabies! I just graduated from high school and will be starting college in the late fall. I am available most of this summer and have blocked the dates I will be away. When I am here I am available all day to fit whatever needs you may have I am a very responsible person, at my house I clean our cats litter and take turns feeding them. I am a very observant person and love spending time with pets, whether that be cuddling or playing fetch!

“Patti took great care of our cats again while we were away. She is focused on their needs, very compassionate, and ensured all went well. Her skill with animals comes through when caring for them. Our oldest cat Ada once again became her best lap buddy. I'll definitely book with Patti again.”

Nancy P.

“Prada and Coby took to her right away and how could they not, she's such a sweetheart!! She's very responsive and responsible. She sent me pictures and videos of them throughout her stay!! I'll definitely use her again (if she's not completely booked by now ?)”

“Jasmine was wonderful! She took great care of my dog, Phoebe and was so consistent about communication when watching her!”

About: Hello, I'm Ludmila (Lida), your dedicated pet sitter and dog walker. I love animals of all kinds and am here to provide exceptional care for your furry, scaly, and feathery friends. I offer a range of services, including pet sitting, overnight care, and boarding. Whether you have dogs, cats, birds, fish, or even lizards and reptiles, I am committed to ensuring their well-being while you're away. My home is a safe and loving environment where pets can feel comfortable. For dog owners, I also provide dog walking services. It's important to keep our four-legged companions active and happy, and I’m here to help with that too. If you're looking for a reliable pet sitter who truly cares, please feel free to message me. I would love to discuss how I can assist you and your pets! I am a homeschooling mom of 2, working from home. My schedule is very flexible. I can give your pets all the attention they need. I have a small fenced yard and two friendly black cats. My daughters are homeschooled, so they'll be around as well. All three of us love animals and currently volunteer at a local animal shelter.

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.

“So reliable and consistent in communication, I appreciate it so much. Dottie just gets so happy when she sees you and I love knowing she's in good, gentle hands with Lauri.”

Kate M.

“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.”

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.
