About: I’m a full time artist and WFH sitter with over 15 years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages including Puppies, seniors, special needs pets, and sensitive personalities. I live a calm and quiet lifestyle with my senior corgi, Mochi, and my sweet, dog friendly cat, Mumu. Because I’m home most of the day, your pet will get steady attention, a peaceful environment, and care that never feels rushed. My dog Mochi is 10 and has had many health issues, including back leg mobility problems. Caring for her has given me strong experience with senior dogs, medication schedules, mobility support, slow routines, anxious pets and even stroller walks. I grew up with many pets, so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. I’ve experienced a negligent sitter in the past whose carelessness sent my dog to the hospital. Because of that I take this work extremely seriously. I’m attentive, detail oriented, cautious and I never take shortcuts especially with older or delicate pets. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. Because I’m an artist I’ll sometimes doodle a small portrait of your pet if time allows, just a little gift for you. A little about why I joined Rover: I recently moved into a larger space which has allowed me to comfortably host more pets. I also decided to start pet sitting as a way to help offset the rising costs of my senior dog’s insurance. It’s important to me that I can continue providing the best care for her and Rover lets me do that while offering attentive, reliable care to other pets as well. I WFH so I’m home most of the day. Pet care fits naturally into my routine I already have a senior dog with daily feeding, meds so I’m used to gentle and structured care throughout the day. I take breaks to give pets attention, walks, playtime and lots of calm company. Your pet would be part of my daily rhythm not an afterthought I maintain a calm and supervised home where safety comes first. Pets get slow introductions and secure spaces and constant oversight since I work from home. My corgi is crate-trained and my cat has high-ground access so everyone has their own safe zones. I follow your schedule exactly : feeding, walks, meds, and activities so your pet stays on their normal routine. They’ll have a safe comfortable place to play or nap all day and can sleep with me at night if they'd like to. Diet & Feeding I follow your pet’s exact feeding schedule and portion sizes to keep everything consistent. I always make sure pets stay hydrated, especially in warmer weather. I feed my dog and guest dogs separately to avoid any food guarding or stress during mealtimes. Hygiene & Cleanliness I keep pets clean and comfortable throughout the day : wiping paws if needed, cleaning eye discharge and keeping their space tidy. I’m very detailoriented about maintaining a clean safe environment. Walk Safety All dogs are leashed outdoors at all times. I stay alert around other dogs separate pets immediately if there are signs of stress or tension and prevent ground eating or unsafe sniffing areas. I’m always attentive and I clean up after them every time. Sleeping Arrangements My own dog prefers her own bed and doesn’t sleep with me but your dog is welcome to sleep wherever they feel comfortable whether that’s in their own bed, the crate or in the bed with me for extra comfort. I make sure every pet has a safe cozy sleeping setup.

“Alejandra is a fantastic sitter! We picked up our little girl happy and jolly after a day with her. I cannot thank her and her husband enough ❤️ she sent constant photos ,videos and updates throughout the day. Also, their puppy Nemo is adorable and so very friendly. If you want to have piece of mind about your dog knowing they'll be safe while having a great time, Alejandra is your sitter!”

“Great adaptable service. My pup had a wonderful time:)”

Jessie O.

“Andy is wonderful - my dog Sidney is always so happy to see him when I drop her off for daycare (usually once a week). When I arrive to pick her up, she generally doesn't want to leave! She gets multiple walks per day and enjoys time with their dog Millie. They are accommodating of my crazy schedule and very flexible about drop-off and pick-up time. I very highly recommend these folks - they take great care of my baby!”

Judy B.

“Michelle is great with dogs. You can see the rapport and experience she has with dogs right away. We started with a meet and greet, where Michelle listened to our expectations and asked questions of us, and we made a booking for a day visit. On drop off, she took our pup R on a quick walk to get her away from us (later, she told us that that's better than having a specific goodbye), and R trotted after her happily. We got some photos and reports during the day, and at pickup time, R was glad to see us, but also went back to Michelle for some petting before we left. We are planning to leave R with Michelle for boarding during our summer holiday.”

“Everything went smoothly & our pup had a great time! Came home tired & happy.”

“Dylan and his family were amazing! Pancho enjoyed spending time with other pups. Something that as an only child he doesn’t get to do very often. Pancho was a bit constipated at the time of drop off and Dylan kept me in the loop and tracked any updates. I also received many photos and even a video of Panchitos adventures.”

Alin G.

“Emily and her family (and Kibbly) were so sweet! We felt very comfortable leaving our rambunctious puppy with them and it was clear they love dogs!”

About: Berkeley Humane Society and Oakland Animal Services volunteer, trained with dogs of all temperaments. I also dog sit for family and friends, and love building trust and keeping routines consistent. I focus on quality walks, not quick outings. When appropriate, I take dogs to East Bay spots like Point Isabel, Albany Bulb and Berkeley Marina for space and stimulation. For drop-ins, your dog will get lots of attention, movement and care. I walk my dogs daily, often on longer outings. I adjust pace and distance based on your dog’s needs. Dog care is my priority right now. I’m available mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I have flexibility and I can accommodate longer walks or extended visits I prioritize safety at all times. Dogs will always be on-leash and handled either full attention and control. I stick to your instructions and keep routines consistent

About: I’ve cared for pets for years and I genuinely love being around animals. I’m the kind of sitter who notices the little things—energy changes, appetite, stress cues—and adjusts to help your cat or dog feel comfortable. I’m consistent with routines (walks, feeding, play, quiet time), respectful of your house rules, and I’ll send regular photo updates so you always know your pet is happy and safe. Right now I have a flexible schedule, so I’m able to be present and attentive throughout the day. I plan my routine around pets’ needs—morning and evening walks, regular potty breaks, meals on your schedule, and plenty of calm check-ins. I’m happy to accommodate early drop-offs/pickups when possible, and I’ll communicate clearly about timing. I’m careful, calm, and safety-focused. I follow your instructions closely (feeding, meds, routines, house rules) and I’m attentive to behavior cues so pets feel secure—not overwhelmed. I’m mindful with doors, leashes, and transitions, and I keep a clean, low-stress environment. You’ll get regular photo updates, and I’ll reach out quickly if anything seems off.

“Sara was able to host our pup last minute and he had a great time playing with her two dogs. Fenced back yard is a major plus for getting out all that energy!”

“Rachel was great! Super easy to communicate with and she shared pictures and updates of Pepper during her stay. Thank you so much! Would highly recommend her a sitter.”

Kathy T.

“Mariola was an awesome sitter! She was very responsive to our puppy, Pao Pao's, needs and went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable. If you're looking for a responsible and loving sitter, Mariola is the one!”

Frances G.

“Alexandria graciously hosted my sweet senior dog for daycare during one of my days in office. We are new to the area and my senior dog has still be processing all the changes, but Alexandria was great with her. She kept me updated on how my dog was adjusting and let me know of any issues. Thank you Alexandria!”

Kiersten M.

“Countney is a super sitter with the perfect set-up for my active pup with a small bladder. He had a great time and came home all tuckered out. I will most definitely use her service whenever she is available and I need a safe place to leave my dog!”
