“Dane did a great job watching my kitties while I was away. He communicated clearly, asked all the right questions, and took some stunning photos of my cats to keep my mind at ease (seriously he should be an animal photographer). Highly recommend!”

About: From lifelong companionship with dogs to years of volunteering at the Alameda Animal Shelter, I bring a wealth of experience to pet sitting. My background spans all stages of a dog's life, from playful puppies to wise seniors. With a decade of successful dog-sitting for family and friends, I offer a proven track record of responsible and caring service. Count on me to provide tailored care that prioritizes your pet's happiness and well-being. Please check my availability online in order to best fit my schedule & to ensure the best of quality when booking with me! More than happy to make accommodations. I’m very considerate, clean, & responsible for all of your pet care needs. Anywhere from sending update photos to cleaning after myself/your pet when needed.

About: I had a dog for 15 years and a cat for 2 years, giving me experience with pets at all stages of life. They are very special and I have a deep passion for caretaking, one that extends to your pets! I can also administer medications if needed. I am a student at UCSF on summer break. I have availability most days—weekdays and weekends, just need a few days notice! I am also a night owl so I can watch your pets well into the evenings! I have a fenced backyard and live in a dog-friendly neighborhood. I love going on long walks around here solo, and a pet companion would make that even better! For cats, I can also take them on walks (if they’re those types of cats haha) or can just stay inside and play with toys.

“Jana took great care of our cat. She was very responsive and easy to communicate with regarding care instructions. Our cat, who is a bit skittish, seemed to feel safe with her which speaks volumes. We highly recommend Jana!”

About: Hi! I’m a UC Berkeley student and a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs! I’m a proud owner of a Ragdoll cat named Saki, and I previously helped raise a Border Collie. Through these experiences, I’ve become familiar with different pets’ personalities, daily routines, feeding, grooming, exercise, and playtime. Caring for a Border Collie taught me the importance of regular exercise, mental stimulation, patience, and positive interaction, especially with energetic and intelligent breeds. I also gained exposure to the Rover pet-sitting process through someone close to me who worked as a sitter on the platform. This helped me understand how important communication, reliability, and following each owner’s instructions are. I’m responsible, detail-oriented, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I have reliable transportation and a flexible schedule, and I’m happy to provide regular photo updates so you can feel confident that your pets are in good hands. I’ll treat your furry family members with the same love and attention I give my own! I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care. I’m available for weekday and weekend visits, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings depending on availability. I also have reliable transportation, making it easy for me to travel to clients’ homes and accommodate different schedules. I’m happy to discuss your pet’s routine and find a schedule that works best for everyone! Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets. Having raised both a Ragdoll cat and a Border Collie, I understand that different animals have different needs, energy levels, and personalities. For dog walks, I pay close attention to leash safety, traffic, weather conditions, and each dog’s comfort and behavior. I’m familiar with the importance of physical exercise and mental stimulation for active breeds. For cats, I respect their personal space, maintain a clean litter box, provide fresh food and water, and make sure they feel comfortable in their environment. When visiting a client’s home, I carefully follow all instructions, keep doors and windows secure, and respect the owner’s property and privacy. I also provide photo updates and communicate promptly if anything unusual happens. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owner is away!

About: Leaving your pet with someone new takes trust. My goal is to help you feel informed and reassured while giving your pet patient, attentive care that respects their personality, routine, and boundaries. My hands-on experience includes two and a half years caring for my rescued Chihuahua mix and two cats. I also volunteered socializing cats at a shelter when I was younger and, more recently, volunteered regularly at a farm animal sanctuary from April through October. There, I helped with feeding, fresh water, cleaning, preparing barns, and evening routines. I’m especially comfortable with cats and understand that building trust often means offering quiet company, respecting their space, and letting them choose when to interact. Caring for my own sensitive, reactive small dog has also taught me to watch body language closely, stay aware of my surroundings, and create distance from situations that make him uncomfortable. I treat every pet as an individual. Whether they enjoy sniff-filled walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having someone nearby, I take time to learn what helps them feel comfortable. I let them set the pace for affection and interaction rather than forcing a connection. I’ve been vegan for seven years as part of my personal commitment to animal welfare. That commitment includes respecting each pet’s dietary needs—I’m comfortable handling meat-based food and following their established feeding routine. You can expect clear communication, thoughtful updates, and photos while you’re away. I’d love to meet you and your pets and learn what helps them feel safe, understood, and cared for. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to plan walks, drop-ins, and house sits around your pet’s routine. For new clients, I prefer at least three days’ notice so we have time to arrange a meet-and-greet and make sure we’re a good fit before confirming a booking. During house sits, I stay overnight but may leave during the day for other pet-care bookings, errands, and personal commitments. Before booking, we’ll discuss your pet’s usual schedule, potty-break needs, and how long they can comfortably be left alone, so you know what to expect. I take a careful, detail-oriented approach to caring for both your pets and your home. At our meet-and-greet, I’ll ask about feeding instructions, walking routines, behavior, triggers, household rules, and emergency contacts. I welcome detailed care notes and will follow the plan we agree on. On walks, I’ll stay aware of our surroundings, keep your dog leashed, and avoid unfamiliar dogs or greetings unless we’ve specifically discussed them. I pay attention to body language and give pets space when they show discomfort rather than pushing them into an interaction. In your home, I’ll be mindful of doors, gates, and escape risks, keep feeding and litter areas tidy, and respect your instructions about access to rooms and outdoor spaces. For cats, I’ll offer attention without forcing handling or disturbing them when they need space. I’ll keep you updated with photos and notes about how your pet is doing and communicate promptly if I notice a change in their behavior, appetite, or bathroom habits. My aim is to maintain the familiar care they’re used to while giving them patience and support during your time away.

“At the meet and greet Tina gently introduced herself to Chilli, listened closely as we toured our home, took notes asked questions. She followed the written instructions we left for her and confirmed additional instructions we texted after we left for our trip. She texted us pictures of Chilli with updates. She also went beyond her responsibilities and checked for ants that had invaded our home before we left for our trip. She exceeded our expectations and we’ll definitely schedule her again soon!”
