About: I've grown up owning dogs my whole life, and I own my own dog as well. I honestly think it's impossible to be sad when a dog is in your life, and it is our responsibility to take care of them as best as we can. I would love to spend time and take care of your dog in the event you cannot. They should't have to feel so alone when we are busy! My puppy is very social, kind, and loves to play with other dogs. She is spayed so there is no worry there. I promise to take the best care of your dog, as if it was my own. I am also a strong believer in training dogs and keeping them on their own routine. I am very respectful of the rules or standards that each owner has for their dog, and plan on carrying those out exactly as you ask. I have a very flexible schedule currently and can accommodate many different times. Feel free to reach out and we can find a common time that works for you, your pet and me! Safety and trust are the most important aspect of caring for other animals. They are not just our pets but members of our family and I always keep that in mind. I will send photos and always be transparent about how your dog is doing.
About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover who's been caring for my own dog—as well as family and friends' pets—for the past 5+ years. Whether it's going on long walks, bath time, puzzle games, or playtime together at home, I truly enjoy giving every animal the attention and care they deserve. I’ve looked after cats and dogs of all ages, from energetic youngsters to sweet seniors, and I love tailoring each day to their needs and personalities. Rest assured that your furry friend will be treated like family with me! I currently work part-time as a yoga instructor here in Oakland, which means I have a flexible schedule with lots of availability—especially during weekday 9–5 hours and weekends. Whether your furry one wants a peaceful walk, a playful adventure, or just some cozy company at home, I have the time and energy to make it happen. I take safety and trust very seriously, whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in yours. I always follow the specific routines and guidelines each pet parent provides—whether that means administering medication on time, using the proper harness for walks, crating them when I step out, or sticking to house rules. Every pet is unique, and I’m committed to making sure they feel secure and cared for while giving you total peace of mind. Your pet’s safety—and your trust—are my top priorities.
About: I have experience caring for furry dog friends. I'm comfortable with walking, feeding, giving medication, and providing attention and playtime. Whether your dog is energetic or laid-back, I make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. Hi, my name is G'la! I'm excited to meet new pets and provide them with loving, reliable care. I work a hybrid schedule, which gives me the flexibility to offer consistent attention and companionship throughout the day. Whether it’s a midday walk, playtime, or just keeping a furry friend company, I truly enjoy making pets a natural and joyful part of my daily routine. I adjust my care based on each pet’s routine and personality. In a client’s home, I follow their instructions closely to keep pets comfortable in their familiar space—feeding, walks, playtime, litter box or yard clean-up, medication, and plenty of companionship. I also make sure the home stays clean, safe, and secure. If I’m caring for pets in my own home, I create a calm, pet-friendly environment with plenty of space, enrichment, and supervision. I keep to their feeding and exercise schedule and give them lots of affection and attention to help them feel at ease while they're away from home.
“Adam was a great catsitter. He promptly checked in at the specified time every evening and sent photos and updates. Adam was very responsive via text throughout the process. My cat Scout was healthy and happy when I got home from my trip. Adam was also open to a meet and greet before I made the final booking, which I appreciated.”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with years of hands on experience, and currently have four amazing dogs. Caring for pups has always been second nature to me, and I treat every dog I meet like family. I have personal experience with anxious dogs who need extra love, patience, and reassurance. I understand how important it is to create a calm, gentle environment and to move at their pace. I’ve also been lucky to care for a senior dog who’s now 16 years old, so I’m very familiar with the special attention older pets need like mobility support. I provide a safe, peaceful, and loving presence so you can feel confident knowing your pet is in good hands. I currently work part-time as a nanny, which gives me the flexibility and availability to spend my extra time to care for and walk dogs! Whether it’s a quick walk, drop-in visit, or house sitting, I’m happy to provide consistent, loving care when you can’t be there. I believe pets feel most relaxed in familiar surroundings, so I’m happy to come to you and keep your pet’s routine as normal and comforting as possible.

About: Friends have asked me to care for their fur babies at numerous times in my life. I'll make sure your pet is cared for like my own. I'm open to giving medication, if necessary. From pups/kittens to senior care, I can manage them all. I want to help pet owners during my free time. Since I currently don't own pets at this time, I've decided to help those who are. I work full-time, but sometimes I have more time weekdays as well. Generally, I'm pretty open on weekends and after 3:30pm during the week. Since I don't currently have my own pets, I'm gonna provide great care to yours! I enjoy taking dogs for walks. I live near an amazing park. Making your pet feel comfortable and happy is important. Once trust is built, all will be well.

Hannah Y.
“Hannah has been watching and walking my golden retriever, Ellie, for about 5 years now. Anytime she comes over, Ellie squeals with joy and excitement. Hannah is experienced with reactive dogs and, in my case, stubborn dogs! Even when Ellie would prefer to sit and lounge instead of walk, she is able to get her moving using positive reinforcement. I’d highly recommend and trust her with my dog anytime!”

Hikaru & John M.
“Hikaru is a responsible and lovely person. She previously watched my 50-pound husky (Luna) for several days while I was out-of-town. I met with Hikaru a few times before she watched Luna. I could quickly tell from both her personality and her behavior towards myself and Luna that she is very responsible. I provided Hikaru with all of Luna's stuff (food, water bottle, leash, etc), a summary of her daily habits, and instructions on meals. Hikaru read them and instead of guessing, she asked questions within a few hours to make sure that she is properly taking care of Luna the way I wanted. She texted me pictures of Luna several times, one of which included an 8-mile hike (perfect for an active 1-year-old husky). When I returned home to pick up Luna, Hikaru was jogging with Luna. If I had to choose my top two most valued characteristics of Hikaru, it would definitely be her love for dogs and strong sense of responsibility. I would definitely ask Hikaru to dog sit for me again.”

Melvonne S.
“Melvonne has looked after my little chihuahua, Nena, multiple times over the last 10 years. From daily walks to multi-day travel, I could trust Melvonne to be reliable and responsible with Nena, which is such a blessing. Melvonne really has a love for animals and it shows in the way she cares about them. I would 10/10 recommend Melvonne. She's reliable, caring, and trustworthy. I always know Nena is in good hands when shes with Melvonne”

Glenview pet parents share their Rover experiences
Wendy was an amazing pet sitter. Very attentive and caring. Loved the pics she sent us, too. Felt very easy to leave our little buddy in her care. Thank you, Wendy!
Maggie did a great job taking care of my cat Luke. I loved all the cute pictures she sent every day as well as the detailed notes about how he was doing. She really helped me enjoy my vacation knowing he was well taken care of!
Lauren was a perfect companion for my cat, Delilah. I was away for a week and loved the updates I received from Lauren. They really gave me peace of mind. I found her to be super trustworthy. But the best part of course was that I arrived home to a happy cat (though she missed me of course). Definitely will book with Lauren again!
My dog loves Jenny and loves it when she comes to let her out and play with her. So happy with the service!
Juliana provided such excellent care of our dog and cats during our vacation! She was prompt in her service and detailed in her reports and photos. When our elderly dog had a potty accident, she kept us informed and then did a thorough job cleaning the floors and laundering our dog’s bed. It’s tough to learn of your pet’s difficulties from far away, but when you have a dedicated sitter like Juliana, it makes all the difference in calming your anxieties! We are so happy and thankful to have found Juliana!
Excellent care of our cat and dog. Great communication and care with details and that they were comfortable!! Would request again! 5 stars!
Laura was amazing with our two kitties! One of our cats is a bit more shy/ sensitive and she seemed to warm right up with Laura. Thanks for keeping us in the loop with great pics and thorough updates, would recommend Laura to anyone!
Sam is my GO TO when I need pet care! She communicated and sent photos throughout our vacation, and even took our cat for a walk! She has great animal energy, and the fact that my cat went for a walk with her, says it all! She went above and beyond - and we are so happy with her care , communication and commitment to our pets ! We will most definable book her again ;)
Artemis was fantastic with my cat and all her little quirks as always! Theda is always happy to see Artemis and I am always happy to get home to a happy cat and tidy eating and litter box areas!
You won't go wrong with Diana as your petsitter. She was in great communication whenever she or I needed to check in, and she was consistent about posting pictures and comments when she was at the drop-in visits. It seems like a small thing, but it's such a comfort to SEE Simba, my 18-year-old orange tabby, when I'm away. Also, I give special kudos and thanks to Diana for dealing with an unwelcome ant visit during the sit, too! She handled it all fantastically, and I heartily recommend her for your petsitting needs, too.
Zsa-Zsa’s updates were thorough and helpful while I was away from home! It was nice to see the pictures while traveling and it was helpful to know that my kitties were in good hands!
Lauren has taken wonderful care of both of our creatures many times! We so appreciate her communication and flexibility- would absolutely recommend her to other pet owners!
Laura was really great! I had some custom things I needed, and she handled the whole situation very well!
Once again Celeste did an amazing job at watching my girls! She is super thorough, communicative, and provides amazing care.
LaDonna showed so much kindness and compassion to my little Roxy! She sent pictures and gave me regular updates. I will definitely be requesting her services again in the future!
My boys loved Cameron! He was great at communicating and sent lovely pics of them during each drop in. This was my first Rover experience and I’m so glad it was with Cam, I’m so excited to book him again!
Thank you so much, Sandra! I really appreciate all the detailed notes. I have zero worries every time when I’m on vacation because of you. You’re the best!🙏👍🏼🥰
