“Laura was wonderful with our pup Hank! She was available on short notice for a meet and greet and walk, and was super communicative. Hank took to Laura’s kind energy instantly. We are excited to have Laura walk Hank again in the future!”

“Angela was outstanding during our first week of dog walks. She made my nervous dog feel right at home and was on time and thorough every time. Can’t recommend highly enough.”

“We are so happy to have Irina walk our two corgis now that I’m returning to an office a few days each week. I think I probably had more separation anxiety than the pups, but it’s comforting knowing they get a visit with Irina and burn off some energy. We love the photos and card updates. Looking forward to many more walks!”

“Conscientious, flexible, excellent communications, highly recommend.”

About: I'm an animal lover through and through, and I have a special soft spot for dogs and cats! I'm so excited to meet you and your furry friend and can't wait to learn more about them. I recently adopted my own dog so if you are looking for boarding, your dog must be friendly and we will of course set up a meeting beforehand to see if our pups are good fits! I am a responsible professional and I can board your dog or I can come to you and your pet! I offer house sitting, drop in care and walking when you're away. I have pet-sat over the past few years and always greatly enjoyed it. I am from the Bay Area and have worked in the schools for the past 15 years - as a teacher and a librarian. I am very responsible and reliable and can communicate easily via email or text. I am hoping to dog/cat-sit more frequently to hang out with animals I love. I also want you to be comfortable while you're away, I'm happy to send you photo and text updates so you know exactly how your dog or cat is doing. I'm so excited to get to know you and your animal! Please reach out to me if you'd like to set up a meet and greet! I work some days from home and some days on site but my schedule is pretty flexible. I am generally able to be around and in and out as needed for your pet but I am not home 24/7. I have a fully fenced front and back yard and always supervise dogs when they are outside. I am very careful with doors and all situations where a dog could get out.

“Valerie is a great communicator - Max really enjoyed her! Looking forward to continuing to work with her.”

About: Hi, I’m Sophia! I’ve been around animals my whole life and feel passionate about pet care and wellbeing. I’m a work-from-home dog mom of two, and I want to bring my enthusiasm for animal care to others! I provide dog walking, drop-in and housesitting services, with an emphasis on exploration and nurture. I offer a personalized experience for each pet, and aim to ensure that during my time with them, their normal routine is maintained and by the time I leave they’re as happy as can be. Thanks so much for considering me to be a caregiver for your doggo or kitty. I can’t wait to explore and learn with your pet. Note: When I housesit, my lovely husband cares for our dogs, and I typically pop home for ~2 hours a day to see them. This can be adjusted based on the needs of your pets! I work from home full-time and am available for walks during the day. I mostly work an east coast schedule so am always down to go on a mid-afternoon hiking/trail adventure with your pup! I value creating a calm but clear environment for all the animals I work with. I have experience training dogs in easy commands (sit, stay etc) and always communicate with the client about how to best communicate with their dogs, as well as any stickier behaviors that I should be aware of while caring for their pet.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of all ages for long time, and I treat each of them like my own! Whether it’s a nice long walk or a relaxing visit, I can’t wait to meet your pet! I work from 11am-3:30pm M-Th, and have commitments from 4pm-10pm on Wednesdays and Saturdays. Other than that; this leaves me lots of time to take care of your pet! I am very comfortable with pets of all temperaments and can easily cater my care to your pet’s needs. I foster an environment of trust and fun with all animals.

About: I've been around dogs my whole life and rescued my own fur baby 5 years ago. I watch dogs for friends and family all the time and genuinely love having them around. I love that every dog has their own personality, and I'm happy to meet them where they're at, whether they're playful and outgoing or a little shy and need some space. I'm no replacement for their favorite human, but I hope to give them a friendly, warm, low-stress environment where they can feel comfortable and cared for while you're away. 🐾 I'm currently working part time so I have a very flexible schedule. I'm available most week days all day, Saturdays all day and Sunday evenings. I have a car so can easily drop in for a visit or walk and pick up/drop off your pet. I live in a condo with my partner and a little Pomeranian named Romeo. I don't have a yard but live in a super walkable neighborhood with some parks nearby. I love staying active and driving to a trail/park from time to time to take a little hike.

“Rylee is amazing! She showed up prepared with treats and water. My dog is very comfortable walking with her. Highly recommend.”

About: As a dog and cat mom, I understand how important it is to find someone you trust to care for your pets. I have experience caring for a variety of dog breeds, cats, rabbits, and birds, along with over 15 years of volunteering with dog and cat rescues. My experience includes hands-on care for shelter dogs and fostering, so I’m comfortable working with animals with different personalities, needs, and backgrounds. I’ll treat your pets with the same care and attention I give my own. I work a hybrid schedule, so I’m available for pet care on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. I intentionally limit the number of clients I take on so I can give each pet the time, attention, and care they deserve. Having adopted two timid dogs, I understand the importance of creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for every pet. My home is completely dog-proofed, with extra dog beds, furniture privileges for pups who love to snuggle, and a secure, fenced-in yard where dogs have regular access to the outdoors. My priority is understanding each pet’s individual needs and following the owner’s care instructions closely. I’m especially mindful of safety, whether at home or when entering and leaving a client’s home, always double-checking that doors are secure and locked. I also believe in clear communication, providing regular updates, and asking questions whenever something is unclear. I want every pet in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and right at home!

“Weng is the best! She always talking good care of your fluffy angel! Promptly responds and great communication. I really appreciate her time and service”

About: I absolutely love all animals! Growing up, my family always had a minimum of two dogs at a time. Since I was young, I have been trusted by friends and family members to watch over not only their pets, but their plants as well. As an adult living alone, I have only ever had 1 cat at a time in my home, however, my plant game has grown to a bit of a jungle! On top of taking care of animals, I also LOVE a clean house and I take it upon myself to always leave people’s homes cleaner than I found them in! I’m currently looking to open my own business doing just that: Pet sitting and deep cleaning while folks are out of town. In my opinion, there is nothing better than coming home from a vacation or a work trip to a clean home and a happy animal! I have been working with Meowtel watching cats for the last year and have found it to be exceptionally rewarding. Recently, my sweet cat passed away and I left my demanding job. Due to these circumstances I have decided that since I have the time and opportunity, opening my home to board and for doggy daycare would be a great way to expand my offerings. I look forward to meeting this community and giving dog (cat, plant, etc.) owners peace of mind while they travel, get stuck working a double, or just want to support their companion with an extra afternoon walk. I left my extremely demanding job in December after my cat got sick. I wanted to spend as much time with him as possible. Since his passing, I have focused on taking care of pets and cleaning homes. This has brought me more joy than any demanding corporate job, and I hope I can continue to work in this capacity for many years in the future. My schedule is very flexible! I am an animal lover living in an animal free home at this moment. Because of this, I am open to boarding and doggy daycare. I am not concerned with animals who want to sit on the couch with me or lay on the bed, but I will follow the rules of what they’re allowed to do at home if you prefer that. My home will be their home, and I will do everything to make sure that they feel safe and cared for while in my hands. I’m an active person and love taking long walks and hikes. So, if that’s something that your dog is into, I am happy to schedule an adventure that meets their mileage needs! On the contrary, if you have a small dog or one who just wants to go out for a stroll around the block to do their business in the grass, I’m happy to do that too! I have a small unfenced side yard to accommodate the most minimal of walkers. Please note: I live on the second floor of an apartment building with no elevator, so if your pup is not able to do stairs and is too heavy to pick up, my home wouldn’t be a good fit.

“Bella is great! She is very friendly and responsive, and graciously followed my instructions for walking my dogs. I would definitely use her again!”

About: My experience caring for animals goes back to childhood. At 13, I had my own horse in the Oakland Hills, and my first job was caring for horses at the stable to help pay for his board. Animals have been an important part of my life ever since. Years later, my Australian Cattle Dog, Taz, became one of my greatest teachers. He came to me as a highly reactive rescue, and I developed a structured behavior-modification plan using positive reinforcement, consistency, exercise, and careful attention to his triggers. With patience and years of dedicated training, he made tremendous progress and went on to live a long, happy, and deeply loved life. That experience gave me a strong understanding of canine body language, behavior, enrichment, and the importance of structure and trust. I’m comfortable with senior dogs, rescue dogs, high-energy breeds, and dogs who may need some extra patience. I know that every dog is an individual, and I take the time to understand their personality, routines, boundaries, and quirks. I’m also a professional artist, and animals are a big part of my creative work—I especially love drawing pet portraits and caricatures. Working independently gives me flexibility in my schedule and allows me to give the animals in my care focused attention. Whether it’s a walk, drop-in visit, or pet sitting, I want your pet to feel safe, comfortable, engaged, and genuinely cared for. I take the responsibility of looking after someone else’s animal seriously, while making sure we have some fun along the way. I work independently as an artist, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide attentive pet care. I can accommodate walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week and will work with you to maintain your pet’s normal routine. I believe pets do best when their normal routines and boundaries are respected. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior, body language, comfort level, and individual needs. I use patience and positive reinforcement and prioritize safety on walks and during visits. I’ll follow your instructions carefully and keep you updated so you know how your pet is doing.

About: I’ve loved dogs for most of my life. About 16 years ago, I rescued a stray mother dog and brought her into my home, where she safely gave birth to her puppies. I cared for the little family until every puppy found a loving forever home. That experience deepened my love for dogs and showed me how rewarding it is to help them feel safe, loved, and happy. After moving to the United States, I began caring for dogs through Rover. I am working full time at Rover to help care for doggies, so I am always there for them. Since I am working full time for this, I can closely follow the doggie’s routines and note any special care they may need. In Irvine, I was grateful to earn five-star reviews and the trust of many wonderful families, with several becoming repeat clients. Now our family has moved to Berkeley because my daughter will be attending UC Berkeley. Hence, I’m accepting new clients in Berkeley!! I’m excited to continue caring for dogs in our new community. When choosing our new home, one of my top priorities was finding a place with a fully fenced private backyard so visiting dogs would have a safe, secure space to play, explore, and relax. Our new home has a lovely private backyard where doggies can walk in and out of our house freely and enjoy their time in the backyard as well. We also have a huge park (San Pablo Park) near our home, with an huge dog-friendly grass field, and I usually take doggies there for a walk. With 16 years of hands-on dog care experience, I understand that every dog has a unique personality and routine. Whether your dog is energetic, shy, senior, recovering from surgery, or simply needs extra love and attention, I’ll care for them with patience, kindness, and the same love I’d give my own family. My goal is simple: while you’re away, I want you to have complete peace of mind, knowing your dog is safe, happy, and loved like a member of the family. I also share daily photos and updates so you always know how your dog is doing while you’re away. I’m currently not working and can spend time with doggies all day long. I am able to provide well-rounded care to them and could spare lots of energy and love to them. I provide calm, structured, and attentive care tailored to each pet’s routine. In my home, pets are cared for in a clean, safe, and quiet environment with plenty of supervision. I follow the owner’s instructions closely for feeding, walking, and rest, and I keep daily routines as consistent as possible to help pets feel secure. I make sure pets get appropriate exercise, fresh water, timely meals, and lots of gentle attention. I also monitor behavior, appetite, and energy levels, and I communicate promptly with owners if anything seems off. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and maintain the pet’s familiar routine, providing reliable care, companionship, and updates so owners can feel at ease.
