Pet Sitting & Drop Ins in Forestland, Oakland

“Madeline was fantastic with my dear old dog. The photos she sent during her time taking care of him were very thoughtful. He was very relaxed when I returned home, clear evidence that he was well cared for.”

About: I have been caring for pets since I was a child. I have cared for dogs with physical disabilities and who require medications. I am also a nurse so feel very comfortable in the caregiving role. I work from home so have a reasonable amount of flexibility. I take my own dog for a walk twice a day and regularly visit dog parks for socialization. I have a fully enclosed deck/yard. We have lots of toys and balls for the dogs to play. My teen kids also love pets. They would enjoy playing with new pups if the owner's approve.

“I’m so glad I found Christine. I needed a drop-in visit for my senior dog who is incontinent and needed a diaper change mid-day. She changed his diaper, gave him a snack and gave him, and my 2 cats some affection. She’ll be the first person I contact if I need help again.”

“Vanessa was an amazing caretaker to my two cats! She won over both of their hearts, took great pictures, and stayed past the scheduled time. It seems like she truly enjoyed spending time caring for them. Would love to have her babysit them again.”

“Natalie is an awesome cat sitter! She has looked after my kittens many times, and they love her. One of my cats is usually afraid of people, but she comes right out and snuggles on Natalie's lap. Natalie is super communicative, and has been flexible when my plans change last minute. She also sends the cutest pictures of my cats. I would definitely recommend her!”

“Shanley was great with my dog Shane. Wonderful attentive care! He was very relaxed when I got home thanks to her making him so comfortable.”

“Sophie took excellent care of our cat. She was very communicative, reliable and sweet to our cat. She also took great pictures. She paid close attention to all of the care instructions. Our cat loved her from the moment they met. I highly recommend her!”

“Kate has been one of our petsitters for a while, taking care of our dog and cat, both at her home, and for drop in visits at our home. She is so caring and sweet with our animals, and our dog gets SO excited when she comes to visit (our cat is more subtle with her affections, but still pleased to see Kate). She is responsible when taking our dog on on-leash hikes or to dog parks for some off-leash play. I would not hesitate to recommend Kate to anyone looking for a petsitter!”

“Lauren is awesome! She was available to meet last minute as I had some weekend plans that I needed doggy care for. She’s very kind and detailed and I van tell Noodles feels really comfortable around her gentle nature!”

About: We've loved dogs our whole lives and joined Rover with the dream of opening our own doggy daycare someday. We bring hands-on experience, having raised our two dogs—a beagle and a basset hound—from tiny pups to well-behaved adults. Our apartment building has a dog park, that provides an ideal space for quick potty breaks and playdates with other pups. Having two pups of our own, pet care is already integrated into our daily routine. We have flexible work home jobs, ensuring your pup gets enough attention & potty breaks throughout the day. We’ll always be keeping an eye on your pup. Since there’s two of us, there will always ways be someone there with them, and they’ll never be left alone.

“I can't recommend Haley enough as a pet caregiver. She goes above and beyond in providing exceptional care for animals. Haley is not just responsible; she's passionate about ensuring the well-being and happiness of each furry friend under her care. What sets Haley apart is her genuine love for animals. She takes the time to understand their unique personalities, preferences, and needs. Whether it's daily walks, playtime, or just some comforting company, Haley creates a nurturing environment that makes pets feel right at home. Her attention to detail and commitment to safety are truly commendable. I've entrusted Haley with my dog Murphy multiple times, and each time, she has exceeded my expectations. From administering medication to maintaining a clean and comfortable environment, Haley ensures every aspect of pet care is handled with the utmost professionalism and affection. If you're seeking a pet caregiver who treats your furry family members as her own, look no further than Haley. She's not just a reliable choice; she's a dedicated, loving, and responsible caregiver who brings joy to the lives of pets and their owners. Your pets will thank you for choosing Haley.”

“Thanks Michelle for taking good care of Joey on short notice. Really appreciate your help!”

My weekends are wide open for pet care as needed, with no set availability! I am well versed in what it takes to care for different types of pet personalities, I can distribute medicines, take them on walks or runs, or just have playtime with them at home.

“Flannery is amazing!! She went above and beyond for our senior pup who is really sensitive to the heat. She kept him comfortable and happy. And she handled our other animals very well too. We are happy to keep using her!”

“Audrey has pet sat for me on numerous occasions (I have an indoor cat and a lab). She gave me updates while I was a way, cared for my babies like they were her own, and I came home to a clean home! She is also a joy to work with, which is a big plus! I highly recommend her!!”

“Wonderful as always!”

“Jazmine was excellent with my cat! I felt completely at ease while traveling, knowing my cat was well cared for. I loved the photo updates, too. I will be asking Jazmine to look after Maya again ☺️”

“Sebastien has watched and walked all three of my dogs multiple times with no issues and they are a handful :) We have two 95 lb Weimaraners and a 15 lb fluffy thing. and wrangling them all at once can be a choir. They love him and look forward to his arrival everytime.”
