“Ida and Travis were amazing to work with! They sent tons of cute photos of my cats, were the best communicators, and even left my home cleaner than they found it. They were very attentive to learning about my cats' needs and managing challenges like my sticky front door key. I'd definitely use them again!”

“Hollie was very flexible about my return timing and did a good job of keeping Sheba on schedule for food and walks. She also shared updates to keep me informed while I was gone, which I really appreciated.”

“Nicole was a dream dog sitter for our anxious girl. So calm and loving, Zola was instantly comfortable with her. She sent sweet photos and helpful updates; we could not have been more confident in the care. And, I swear, she left our home cleaner than when she arrived (including stripping the bed, washing the sheets and remaking it - totally not necessary but so thoughtful.). We can’t wait to invite her back and recommend her enthusiastically!”


“Barbara has taken excellent care of both of anxious/reactive big dog, and our home while we have been out of town. She is reliable and so helpful, I never have concerns leaving Rocky in her care. I recommend her to anyone looking for care for their pups!”

“Richard was excellent watching my dogs overnight at my place for two nights. He was very loving and patient with my anxious pupper and by the end they were getting along great. Richard was also a very respectful house guest and left the place better than he found it. Highly recommend!”

“Laura’s first time dog sitting for us went smoothly. This was an overnight trip. She sent us photo updates and was responsive when we texted to check in. When we got home, the house was tidy, their water bowls were filled, and Cannoli and Da Vinci were in good spirits. We’ve booked Laura for an extended stay while we’re on an international trip. Thanks, Laura!”

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats my whole life. I have seen pets through life from young to elderly, providing medications and cleaning up countless messes. Nothing will surprise me. I attune to pet personalities well: I love snuggling with the snuggly ones, take care around skittish ones, and everything in between. I am punctual and respectful of your time and space. I’m currently working part-time from home and I am available on short notice to provide care for your loved ones. I am quick to respond and can travel within the East Bay comfortably. I provide loving care in the form of house and pet-sitting, dog walking, feeding, medications, play time, snuggling, and more. I am a highly attuned individual, so I will learn your pet’s needs and meet them where they are at. I work comfortably with pets with boundaries, aggression, skittishness, and other high needs. As a house and pet-sitter, I always leave the home exactly as I found it. I respect your property and make your pet’s safety the highest priority. I will follow your guidelines to the letter and I’m happy to send you pictures to help your mind be at ease.
“Kaiya helped us last minute with a drop in over the holidays for our 2 medium sized rescue dogs. She was very kind and patient with them. She was easy to communicate with and asked good questions which helped me feel reassured. We will be working with her again.”

“Nicky was great! Our pups were exhausted after spending the day with her from so much attention and love. She kept me updated and sent great photos. We can’t wait to have her back!”

“Jena provided exceptional pet sitting services for our two bulldogs. Her communication was outstanding throughout the stay, keeping us promptly informed of any concerns and proactively offering to coordinate veterinary care when one of our dogs experienced paw issues. Her attention to detail extended beyond pet care - she maintained the house immaculately and took the initiative to launder and remake the guest bedroom. Regular updates about our dogs' well-being gave us complete peace of mind during our absence. Based on this experience, we wholeheartedly endorse Jena as a trustworthy and professional pet sitter!”


“Kat took great care of my dogs and my house while I was on vacation for 32 days. It was a big relief to know my dogs were safe and well cared for. I don’t travel much but I would be happy to use her services again.”

“Honestly there’s nothing I can say to convey how wonderful and at ease our dog was with him. He was attentive to our fur baby and treated him like we would. It was nice to enjoy our night out and not have to worry about our dog because we knew that Thomas was everything and more than we can ask for in a dog sitter. Our fur baby was truly in good hands.”

“We came home to a tidy house and happy pets thanks to Cara. We appreciate her thoroughness and quick response whenever we had a question. Will definitely ask her back next time we go out of town.”

“Shanley was wonderful during our recent 10-day house sit. She was super communicative, sent daily pictures of our cat and dog, and cared for our house like it was her own. We couldn’t recommend her enough!”

“Ollie took to Samantha right away. Judging from all of the great pictures Samantha shared when sending her daily updates, he looked like he was having a really good time while we were away. We would most definitely ask Samantha to dog- and housesit again if and when the need arises. 😊”

“Shivani was incredible and the best sitter we’ve had! She took such great care of our pup, our two cats, and our home. Our pup is fairly reactive and has some big feelings about the world, so it can be hard to find people she is comfortable with. She seemed to be quite at ease with Shivani and enjoyed her time with her! Our shy cat also loved Shivani! Shivani also sent a lot of updates about our pets, which was soooo incredibly helpful and really put us at ease while we were away! Truly can’t say enough positive things about her and we will definitely ask her to sit for us in the future!”

About: I have taken care of dogs, cats, bunnies, etc. for my neighbors and friends since I was 10 years old. I have taken care of newborn animals and senior animals. I am fully free for the summer! I can pop by your house, go on walks, or keep your pet company at home. I am looking forward to taking care of your pet!

David and Mabel took excellent care of our 2 year old lab. It was great knowing our puppy was comfortable at home with professional and thoughtful care. They understand dogs, how to care for them and the importance of communicating with the pet parents. Our home was left cleaner than when we left, which we greatly appreciated! We will definitely continue to use them when we are away!

I have never used Rover before and Erin by far exceeded every expectation I had. We had her stay with our newly adopted dog for two nights and our dog loved her. We had our neighbors help out before and our dog wouldn't let them near her, but with Erin, our dog was her sweet self. Erin was punctual and made me feel at ease right away. She also left our house just as we left it. I would highly recommend Erin for any pet sitting needs.

Elisabeth is kind, responsive, and provides the highest level of care for pets - she is better than we ever imagined a sitter on Rover could be! We will without question be requesting Elisabeth again to care for our cat while we are away. She gave us such a peace of mind that our cat was in great hands that we will consider adjusting our travel plans to ensure that Elisabeth is available to care for our cat. We were a bit nervous to leave our super senior cat with very specific medical needs, but Elisabeth quickly helped us relax into vacation mode! She took the most amazing care of our sweet cat - giving her daily medications (oral, topical, and injections). Elisabeth sent daily updates - including weighing how much food our cat ate (just like we do) so we had accurate data to provide to our vet. She purchased supplies that would help us dispense a new medication easier. Elisabeth also left our home in pristine condition - she even washed the sheets and made the bed before leaving.

Madeline did an amazing job watching our two cats and dogs while my husband and I were out of town. She made sure to always check in and give the best updates. I always believe animals are great judges of character and all four of our animals took to her right away.

Irina watched my small dog who doesn’t do well with being left alone for a long time while I attended a wedding and my dog was so relaxed and happy with Irina when I came back! Irina is great about sending pictures and updates and amazing with my dog. Thank you Irina!

We lucked out having Dennis take care of our pup and home over a weekend. Dennis spoiled us with extra time to get to know our dog and care routine. Dennis was kind, thoughtful and loving to our kiddo, was extremely communicative, provided lots of updates and doted on our pup with lots of love and attention. We look forward to having Dennis again!

We had a wonderful meet and greet with Val! She is so attentive and caring. Our dog Ruthie can be nervous with new people but she really seems to love and feel comfortable with her. We can tell Val loves animals and truly treats them as her own. We look forward to her future stays. Thank you so much Val!

Kate is now one of my go-to people to care for my special needs senior pup! He is always calm and happy when I return, in spite of his constant state of senior anxiety, so I know she is super sweet with him which is just what he expects and needs :) Thanks Kate!

Jena was THE BEST pet sitter. Not only did she update me several times a day with pictures of my higher-intensity dog Murray, take him on way more walks than I ever could, give him her undivided attention, but she left my house so clean and respected. I'm so excited to have found her here and I can't wait to have her back!

Amila is amazing! She was very communicative, sending photos and updates frequently. She’s very trustworthy and kind, and I think our pup had a wonderful time with her at our home. She took him for walks more frequently than we even asked for and spent so much time with our dog that we were able to relax a little while we were away, without feeling worried. Amila is wonderful and we will rebook for sure. Thanks Amila!!!
