“Jacob was great with Bean! He fed him his food, refilled the water and cleaned the bowls, and made the time to play lots with him. He also took plenty of photos! This was our first time going away and having a cat sitter, so we were a bit nervous, but the detailed notes and pictures definitely eased our nerves! Thanks Jacob <3”
“A second review for a second session because we love Lauren so much! She’s the best, and I’m pretty sure our cat loves her more than he loves us now 😹🙏🐈”
“Overall, Tia was great! She communicates well and responds promptly to messages. She clearly loves animals and they love her. Added bonus: she can be counted on to handle missteps professionally. I would use her service again.”
“Becky went above and beyond in taking care of our cats. She was incredibly communicative, quickly responded to our cats' many antics, and was attentive to every detail of their care. Because of her great sense of humor, we were excited every time a new Rover card was posted, where her love and care for our cats was apparent. It can be hard to leave your pets with a stranger, but we felt completely at ease knowing that Becky was taking care of them. We would recommend her to all pet parents looking for a reliable and conscientious sitter.”
“Sandee took great care of our kitty, and was super communicative and attentive to all our needs. Our cat was in great hands thanks to her, and she gets my strongest recommendation!”
“Yena did a wonderful job caring for my kitties. She gave the friendlier one lots of play time and observed the spicy one lovingly, giving him the leeway to come near her on his own instead of keeping to his usual post guarding the bedroom. She sent many sweet updates as well. I would be happy to have her tend to my cats again for sure.”
About: Active sitter who grew up with rescue dogs and understands their needs with both empathy and care. Experienced in house‑sitting for dogs—matching their routines while you're away. Energetic and ready for jogs or scenic nature drives to keep tails wagging. Also have experience house sitting for cats. Am available for early morning/evening walks in Oakland; able to house sit in the Danville/San Ramon area as I work nearby! Weekends are very available. Unable to offer services in my own home, but understand the importance of keeping dogs on leashes in non-fenced areas, and making sure that all doors, potential areas to escape are closed! In addition I will ensure that any potential hazards are prevented, and that areas are clean and sanitary for pets. I also can provide frequent updates and photos if you would like
“Jiayi is incredible. In just 1 day, she's taken the time to learn Frances' routines, favorite things and tricky things. She's very caring, very communicative and our pup just loves her. Definitely hire Jiayi if you're looking for help! She has just made dog care so so so much easier.”
About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience and calm, confident approach to pet care. I grew up caring for a German Shepherd and, starting at 16, three bulldogs—so I’m comfortable with big personalities, strong breeds, and all the drool that comes with them! I’ve also dog-sat for friends and taken their pups on regular walks, including those with anxiety or special routines. I’m patient, observant, and always make sure pets feel safe and loved while their humans are away. Whether your dog needs a running buddy, your senior cat needs a quiet companion, or your anxious pup just needs someone who understands—I’m here. I’m a morning person with a flexible schedule. Avid runner so can work with high energy dogs. I’m also available for evening walks and check-ins—perfect for pets with routines or extra energy. I’m able to provide more schedule details. I prioritize comfort, safety, and trust. I take time to get to know each pet’s personality and routine—whether that’s quiet companionship for cats or daily walks and play for dogs. On walks, I stay alert and avoid unfamiliar dogs unless I have permission to interact, always keeping your pet’s safety first. For cats, I create a calm, low-stress environment, keep their space tidy, and respect their boundaries.
“Shirley is great! Our cat liked her immediately. She was easy to work with and accommodated multiple last-minute changes due to unforeseen circumstances. I highly recommend her.”
“Mar is an excellent communicator and my dogs love them! They were very easy to coordinate with, responded promptly to my messages, and sent detailed updates during their visits. They even stayed a little longer than planned to comfort my dogs when they got scared by a neighbor’s fireworks! Will definitely be booking with them again and cannot recommend them highly enough.”
About: I've been living with pets since I was a baby and since then have taken on a large role in their care. I love going on walks and taking pups to experience the outside world. I've been petsitting for family, friends and neighbors for about 8 years now and I'm so excited to meet your furry friends! I just completed high school and this summer I am going to take a community college class which is on mondays and wednesdays from 1:30-5:45pm. Other than that I am free to spend time with your pets! I will keep a keen eye on your pets and I am very good at assuring doors are closed and food is put away (my dog has been know to steal things from the counters and try to escape so I'm used to lil rascals).
About: With over a decades worth of experience as a professional animal trainer, I have specialized in training service dogs, police k-9s, and behavior modification for both dogs and cats with behavioral issues. As a lifelong animal enthusiast and pet owner myself, I have had the privilege of caring for a variety of exotic animals, including bunnies, rats, guinea pigs, hedgehogs, jellyfish, and reptiles. I hold both my AKC Canine Good Citizen Certification along with my Pet First Aid and CPR Certification. I am passionate about providing personalized care and training for pets of all kinds. Whether you're looking for professional dog training, walking, or boarding services - or reliable care for your exotic pets - I'm here to help ensure your animals thrive in a safe, nurturing environment. I'm currently working full time as an animal trainer and caregiver, providing an open and flexible schedule that allows me to fully commit to your pet's individual needs! I take detailed notes to learn everything about caring for your pet while you're away. This ensures that the care I provide is entirely consistent to the care you provide your own pets. As a trainer, I understand how crucial it is to provide consistency and structure to your animal's routine. While you're away during your pet's stay, we send photo and video updates daily, so that you can see that while you're on vacation, they're enjoying their own vacation too!
About: I’ve cared for dogs, cats, and small pets my whole life, handling feeding, walks, grooming, and medication with patience and attentiveness. I understand different pet behaviors and needs, and always prioritize their comfort and safety. Caring for pets naturally fits into my daily and weekly routine by adding structure and meaningful breaks throughout my day. Taking dogs for walks or visiting cats gives me a chance to get outside, stay active, and practice responsibility while providing the consistent care that pets need. Each week, I plan my schedule around regular visits or walks, ensuring I balance pet care with other commitments like work or school. This routine helps me stay organized and brings joy by helping animals stay happy and healthy. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets. Whether the pet is at my home or the client’s, I make sure to create a calm and secure environment where they feel comfortable and loved. I follow all the owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding, exercise, and medication schedules, and I’m attentive to any signs of stress or discomfort. I keep the space clean and safe by removing hazards and monitoring pets closely during play and rest. Building trust with both pets and their owners is important to me, so I communicate regularly with updates and photos to give peace of mind.

Danielle N.
“Danielle watched over my super shy rescue cat and crazy foster kittens for a few days.

She has a natural gift for reading their cues and creating a safe, positive environment where they feel comfortable and understood. I’ve seen firsthand how she goes above and beyond for my dogs: Karter, Renfrow, and Lady. Heather’s patience, kindness, and genuine love for animals shine through in everything she does. My dogs absolutely adore her, and I trust her completely to provide the best care. I couldn’t ask for a better trainer or caregiver for my fur babies.”
Maria Elena V.
“Maria did a fantastic job and our cats agree. She was communicative and we had not a single problem to speak of.”
Fanuel H.
“Fanuel watched my pets while I was away on a work trip and somehow turned a normally chaotic situation into something smooth and stress free. My dog is high energy my cat is moody and yet they both ended up loving him. He even got my dog to stop barking at the mailman which I honestly thought was impossible. He’s not just someone who follows instructions he actually bonds with the animals and figures out what they need. I came home to happy pets and a house that looked better than I left it. Total win.”
