Pet Sitting Forestland

About: I have experience with cats who are particularly anxious, I am able to provide much more than just feeding and regular care tasks. I have experience with emotional regulation for anxious cats and dogs , and I’m able to provide extra attention through extended stays, diverse kinds of play, and overnight care. I also have prior experience with elderly dogs who need special accommodation. I work only 2 days a week, and have a very open flexible schedule at the moment. I can provide a wide range of services, my most notable experience is working with anxious pets who need extra attention and love! For dogs, I prefer to take dogs on multiple walks (ideally 3 walks per day) to encourage lots of activity, I can encourage socializing if needed. For cats, I love to drop in and play, give affection or just coexist as needed!

“Zsa Zsa is a wonderful sitter! She is easy to communicate with, took great care of my cat, and shared lots of cute, funny, and informative updates about how he was doing and their adventures each day. I can tell she genuinely cares about my pet, and he loves her too! It definitely gave me peace of mind to know he was in good hands while I was away, and I’m looking forward to future pet-sits!”

About: I have over 10 years of experience caring for my own dog and 8 years of experience caring for my two cats. In addition, I've cared for my neighbor's dog on multiple occasions over the past five years. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, or simply having someone to keep them company at home, I'll provide attentive, reliable care and treat them like they're part of my own family. I'm happy to follow your pet's routine and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I'm currently on summer break from college, which gives me a very flexible schedule. This allows me to accommodate a variety of pet care needs, whether that's daytime visits, walks, overnight stays, or last-minute bookings. I'll make sure your pet gets the time, attention, and care they deserve. I will be caring for pets in their own homes, where they can stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I understand that every pet has unique needs and routines, so I'll carefully follow any instructions you provide, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and house rules. I'm very cautious and attentive when caring for pets, and I'll always prioritize their safety, comfort, and well-being. My goal is to provide dependable care while giving you peace of mind that your pet is in good hands.

“Melissa was very easy to communicate and clearly cared about our cats, playing and sending a lot of great photos. We recommend Melissa for taking care of your pets while you are away”

“Cara was so caring, responsive, and also very responsible. I was initially worried about leaving my cat for two weeks but I left him in very good hands with Cara. I especially appreciated all the photos she sent and the little daily updates! My cat loved her. I was able to relax knowing that I had a very sweet and reliable sitter.”

About: Aside from owning my own dogs for over 10 years, I have worked as a professional pet-sitter and dog-walker for 2 years. I make sure to be intentional with how I spend my time with your loved one and bring them back feeling cared for and hopefully tired! I'm currently a part-time student, so I will have lot's of time to dedicate to your pet! I am mostly available to sit or walk on weekdays between 12 - 8 pm but if this time frame doesn't work, feel free to send me a message and I would be happy to accommodate you! I make sure to keep an eye on them at all times and will diligently follow whatever rules or other safety precautions you have inside or outside your home. I am loving yet respectful of their space, and comfortable with different types of pets and personalities.

“very responsive, friendly, punctual and they even gave our pup some extra time which is greatly appreciated :). We will definitely rebook soon!”

About: I’ve always loved animals, for their big hearts and one of a kind personality traits. My family had a Rottweiler when I was a child and she always felt like the little sister I never had. My hours are flexible so I’m open to meeting your requirements to watch over your pet. I currently don’t have any pets at the moment, so having the opportunity to cuddle up & spend some time making a new furry friend would be a treat. Overall, I’m very passionate when it comes to the safety & well-being of your pets, so I look forward to providing I am currently a freelance filmmaker, so my schedule is pretty flexible! I’m available for boarding on the weekdays, Saturdays from 10am-4pm and Sundays after 3pm it's important for me to understand the type of pet I'm caring for so that i can gauge what type of activities they're into. I love being outdoors, so if your pet is active then i can take them to some of my favorite hiking trails that are near your home. If they're homebodies then I'll typically play some tug-o-war, or fetch with their favorite toys until they're tired. Then i'll feed them and chill out.

About: Hii everyone!! So a little about me…I’ve basically grown up on a mini farm! Over the years, my family has had everything from chickens and goats to plenty of dogs and cats, so being around animals and taking care of them is second nature to me. I’m also a big sister and used to babysit a lot, so I’m really comfortable taking care of others and keeping things clean and organized. Whether it’s feeding, meds, cleaning up, or just giving pets some love and attention, I’ve got it covered. I’ve done a bunch of house and dog sitting before, and I’m really good at sticking to routines and making sure pets feel safe and happy while their humans are away. I also have experience with senior dogs, including giving meds, so I’m confident with extra care needs too! 🐾 Any newbie Rover users, use code KAYLAT10873 for $20 off your first Rover booking! If you've booked before, feel free to pass it along to friends or family :) I recently graduated from UC San Diego with my bachelors in Business Economics and just moved back home, which gives me a very flexible schedule. I'm available throughout the week and can easily work around you and your pet's routine, whether that's early mornings, midday visits, evenings, or overnight care. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I'm happy to provide reliable, attentive care that meets your pet's individual needs. I'm very much a routine person, so any feeding or walking routines, I'd love to follow! I treat every pet like they’re my own, and I’m all about building trust so both you and your pet feel happy and secure. Regular updates and pictures are always a part of my care. I know how reassuring it is to see your pets happy while you’re gone! 😊

“Jessica did a great job taking care of our dog, Eddie. We appreciated that she gave us regular text updates with photos, and always replied quickly to any communications. :)”

“Jena is wonderful! She's a great communicator and is punctual and trustworthy. Our dogs loved her which was evident in the cute photos she sent. Thank you Jena!”

About: My husband & I are semi-retirees who have been raised with pets our entire lives. We specialized in smaller breeds (20 lbs & under) with separation anxiety & definitely have a soft spot for doodles as well.😅 We are proud to say that we’re experienced, loving and extremely responsible animal lovers who believe pets are our kids……so much so that our vets said we are one of the best pet owners they’ve encountered and love to be our “kids” in their next lives.🤣 We are not the type of sitters who host excessive number of dogs at once. As a matter of fact, we intentionally keep our guest list small so we may focus constant supervision and individualized love to each little ones coming across our hands. We focus heavily on safety, trust, love & positive energy over anything else. As loving pet parents, we understand it’s a huge decision when you have to leave your fur babies in strangers' hands. Rest assured we hold up to our words, we’ll love and care for them just like our own! Our goal is to always put ourselves in your shoes and their paws😆 and provide the best-pampered care for your babies and peace of mind while you’re away. Your little ones will NEVER be left alone & treated like a number. Their safety and comfort are our TOP priorities when staying with us. We promise! Since we're home all day, we offer flexible drop-off and pick-up times. We firmly believe that communication and mutual respect are the foundation of any great relationships. There are many sitters on Rover, and we encourage you to shop around for the best fit. However, please only contact us if you are serious and ready to move forward with a formal meet-and-greet. To keep our schedule open for committed clients, non-responsive owners (no reply within 2 hours of initial contact) will be archived and blocked from future bookings. Thank you so much for understanding and respecting our time! Please note that we limit drop-off and pick-up to a 30-minute window. Daycare is capped at 9 hours, If you need a longer time frame, please use overnight boarding option. (you're still able to pick up your pup on the same day, of course). Hourly care is also available at $25/hour (2 hour minimum). We are flexible with schedules as long as clear communication is maintained! 😃 On a typical day, we enjoy countless cuddles and safe play in our super secure yard. Unlike some daycares that leave dogs out in the hot sun all day, we spend most of our time inside a cool, matted play space. We also enjoy visiting local parks when time permits. For safety precaution, we NEVER visit any public off-leash dog parks. Therefore, we might not be the best fit for your pup if they’re accustomed to off-leash outings or long walks. There is always someone home 24/7. Our yard is securely fenced, with ample lawn and play area. There are plenty of outdoor opportunities with IN PERSON supervised playtime at ALL TIMES to keep your little ones safe, active & happy. The interior is padded with floor mats for safe playing, slip & fall prevention (great for senior pups). We also have a separate ground floor guest quarter that’s perfect for cats, rabbits and caged babies who do not wish to interact with dogs as we do have the sweetest senior Shih Tzu rescue, Augustina🐶. She likes all new friends but minds her own business most of the time. Given that said, your babies must be human friendly.😅

About: Nickname: Fox I am staying in Oakland till the end of July. I truly love animals of all kinds. I love them so much that I have had everything from cats and dogs to birds, rats and rabbits. I have also had fish among other exotic animals over my lifetime. I have experience with disabled pets, pets with extra medications, and pets with special needs. I am also extremely capable of taking care of multiple pets at a time. I can easily manage various species of pets at a time. They will be well cared for with me. House sitting with light chores and overnight care are not an issue with my schedule! In the case of small and medium sized dogs I'm capable of handling them on walks if they're very reactionary to people and other animals. I'm capable of walking larger dogs if they're on the calm side and won't chase animals and people. Of course every dog has they're own unique personality and I'm willing to meet with them first to see if I'm capable of handling them. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
