“Anthony was awesome! Took our dog on long walks & was easy to coordinate with. Gochu came back very happy each time!”

About: I had my own dog until she was 15 years old. Since she passed, I’ve been actively volunteering at Berkeley Humane Society and most recently Milo Foundation, where I have successfully fostered several dogs. I have experience with dogs of all age ranges, from puppies to seniors. I have also pet sit for dozens of dogs over the years and truly believe that dogs make the world a better place! I am currently on a sabbatical and have a fairly flexible schedule. As long as I am scheduled in advance, I can be available for your pets needs. I am an active person who loves to hike, go to the beaches in Marin, and go for neighborhood walks. I also value relaxing at home and taking it easy too. Depending on your pet’s energy level, I can easily adapt to their needs! I care for pets in my clients home by ensuring I stick to the animal’s routine. I carefully review the routine, commands, feeding schedule, etc. with the owner in advance to ensure the pet’s routine remains consistent and they are as comfortable as possible in the absence of their human. I am committed to getting pets out for daily walks to provide exercise and enrichment.

About: 🐾 A Loving Home Away From Home for Your Dog Welcome! My name is Chen zhang, and I'm a full-time, work-from-home pet sitter who provides personalized care in a peaceful, loving environment. Your dog will enjoy constant companionship throughout the day, with plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. Since pet sitting is my full-time job, I can closely follow your dog's routine, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special care they may need. One of the best parts of my home is the cozy private garden, where dogs can safely explore, relax, and soak up the sunshine. We're also just a short walk from San Pablo Park, a beautiful dog-friendly park that offers plenty of space for exercise, sniffing adventures, and fun outdoor play. I believe every dog deserves patience, kindness, and respect. Whether your pup is energetic, shy, a senior, or a puppy, I'll care for them according to their unique personality and needs. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can enjoy peace of mind while you're away. My goal is simple: to make your dog feel safe, happy, and loved—as if they were part of my own family. I can't wait to welcome your furry friend into my home! In addition, I’ve had dogs for over 16 years and truly understand how to care for animals with patience and love. I also have experience rescuing and helping stray dogs and cats, so I’m very attentive to different personalities, emotions, and special needs. My doggies back in China are all rescued and adopted by me and my family. I’m comfortable caring for both dogs and cats, including senior pets who need extra patience and gentle attention. I treat every pet like family and always try to make them feel safe, calm, and loved while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I’m available full-time and can provide care every day, including weekdays and weekends. I have a flexible schedule, so pets receive plenty of attention, supervision, walks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. Caring for dogs is something I truly enjoy, and I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re with me. I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment for pets both in my home and in my client’s home. I carefully follow each pet’s usual routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any special care instructions. I pay close attention to their behavior and comfort to help them feel relaxed and secure while their owners are away. In my home, pets receive plenty of supervision, affection, clean spaces, fresh water, and regular exercise. In my client’s home, I respect the pet’s familiar environment and maintain their normal routine as closely as possible to reduce stress. I also send regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident that their pets are happy and well cared for.

About: I’ve raised pets my whole life and currently own a Rottweiler and two indoor cats. I’m entirely comfortable walking large, medium and small breeds. Entirely understand the dedicated care that indoor cats need. I promise to keep your pets safe, happy, and well-loved during every drop-in and walk! I offer flexible scheduling that easily accommodates regular dog walking and home drop-in visits throughout the week. Because pet care is my main focus, I have plenty of time to dedicate to playing with your cats, taking your dogs on refreshing walks, and sticking precisely to your pet’s preferred daily routine. Safety is my absolute highest priority during every walk and home visit. When arriving at your home, I double-check that all doors, windows, and gates are fully secured so indoor cats and dogs remain safely inside. On walks, I am always highly alert to our surroundings, keep dogs on a secure leash, and make sure they stay cool and hydrated. I will also send you detailed updates and photos after every single visit so you have complete peace of mind!

“Jes is always on time and in this difficult transition he has been a tremendous help for my dog Shadow! I will continue to hire him! Jess is fantastic with my dog!”

About: Hi! My name is Stephanie and I have been pet sitting for over 15 years. My love of animals has led me to initially start looking after family and friend's critters to wanting to help others as a way to care for their pets when they're busy or unable to. I have cared for both cats, dogs, even a pig, ranging from young to old. Currently, I provide daily check-ins to see how pets are doing. I also provide walks and play time so they get some engagement and aren't lonely while their owners are away on business or vacation or just busy with work. If you are looking for someone to help you with a walk, a check-in, or play time, please don't hesitate to contact me! I'm currently funemployed so my schedule is extremely flexible. For drop-ins, I drop in once in the morning at 8:30am and/or again in the evening at 6:30pm. For walks, they would be during middle of the day at around 1pm. Prior to an service, I try to communicate with pet owners about anything I should know. I prefer to over communicate to make sure everyone is on the same page and that I have everything I need to make every visit, stay, or walk successful. When visiting a client's home, I allow pets to come up to me first so they can get acquainted with me. I don't force interaction since that can break down trust. If any of the pets have soiled or damaged anything on the property, I'd document it, send it to the client, then clean up any mess. Whether I'm staying at someone's house or doing drop-ins, I give each pet lots of love and attention in the form of pets, belly rubs, and playing games with them. If they are skittish, I tend to let them approach me when they feel comfortable.

“Erika is an excellent human being and fine dog walker. She shows up on time and gives my little dog the exercise she needs. She is sensitive to Annie's quirks. I completely trust her and feel very fortunate to have Erika helping me with my pup.”

About: Hey I’m Izzy! I’m here to treat your fur babies as if they’re mine. When I’m with your dog I like to stimulate their mind by bringing treats and toys and have fun with some training (of course with your permission first!). I am currently a self employed dog trainer so I do know how to handle different types of dogs. My main experience is training and I frequently work with service dogs. I have experience with all kinds of temperaments so don’t be shy to let me know if your dog has an anxiety issue or is overly excited. My upmost important priority is making your dog feel as comfortable as possible when he or she is under my care. I can’t wait to meet all these beautiful faces! I am also a student and still new to the bay area. Luckily at the moment my schedule is rather flexible, I can potentially adjust my schedule for your pet on certain occasions! I will follow whatever instructions you give me when I stay over at your home. There will be constant supervision when let outside or on a walk. Your dog will have a warm bed (or crate) to sleep in and their mental + physical needs will be met everyday!

About: Hey there! 🐾 My Wi-Fi name is "House of Dogues". That probably tells you everything you need to know about me. I've been around pups my whole life: walks, sits, feedings, bath time, you name it. Friends, family, neighbors have all trusted me with their fur babies, and I take that seriously. But also I make it really fun. Here's what makes me a little different: I follow the dog's lead. Some pups want a big adventure. Others want a slow sniff-everything kind of walk (honestly iconic). On our walks, they pick the route. I'm just happy to be invited. I also put together little enrichment activities because a stimulated dog is a happy dog, and yes, I talk to them like they understand everything I'm saying, because they do. I'm a big dog park person too, but I'm picky about it in the best way. I stick to parks where I already know the people and the dogs, so I know exactly what kind of environment your pup is walking into. No surprises, just good socialization with faces I trust. When your dog stays with me, they get a whole day tailored to their vibe: cozy, active, or somewhere in between. And you? You'll get so many photo and video updates you might actually forget you miss them. Might. At home I live with Totó, my shichihuahua who is fully convinced he runs this household (he does). He's taught me everything about big personality in a small body, and he's an excellent host. I have a special soft spot for senior dogs. I know how to give them the patience, gentleness, and extra love they deserve. My clients always say the same two things: they got way more updates than they expected, and they finally felt okay leaving their dog with someone. That's the whole goal. 🐶 I work remotely, which means I'm home most of the day and genuinely available, no scrambling, no rushing. Midday walk? Morning sit? Last-minute check-in? I can make it work. Pet care isn't something I squeeze into my routine, it basically IS my routine. Your dog will never feel like an afterthought. Safety is everything to me, and so is making sure your pet actually enjoys their time. In your home, I follow your instructions closely, keep things clean and consistent, and make sure your pup always has water, food, and lots of love. On walks, I stick to routes and parks I know well, with dogs and people I already trust. No random off-leash situations, no surprises. At my place, it's calm, cozy, and very much a dog household (my Wi-Fi is literally called "House of Dogs"). Totó, my shichihuahua, is a great host as long as you respect that he's in charge.

“Heather was an absolutely wonderful dog walker for my two mini schnauzers! She walked them multiple times a week and was always reliable, attentive, communicative and great about following all of my instructions. I have one very social dog and one who is much more shy and cautious, and Heather did such a great job with both of their personalities. She was patient and took the time to earn their trust, and I could tell from my doggy camera that they would actually wait for her walks, which says a lot about how much they loved seeing her. I would happily recommend Heather to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and dependable dog walker. She was fantastic with my pups, and I’m so grateful for the care she gave them. Highly recommend! 🐾❤️”

“Karen is totally great! I appreciated her emails confirming her walks with Annie. My little dog readily took to her and clearly was well exercised. I hope to schedule with Karen again.”

“Oakley has improved SO much since she’s been walking with Zosha. She is incredible and understands dog behaviors/body language. She always knows when Oakley needs a slow walk, long play session, or exciting adventures.”

About: I have two dogs of my own, so caring for pets is a big part of my daily life. I have also helped my aunt care for her cats many times, including feeding them, checking on them, and spending time with them. My friends regularly trust me to look after their dogs when they are away. I genuinely enjoy being around animals and will treat every pet with the same care, patience, and attention that I give my own. I’m currently a UC Berkeley student studying Mathematics and Data Science. Since much of my studying and coursework can be done from home, I’m home most of the time and have a very flexible schedule. This gives me plenty of time to give pets attention, play with them, and take dogs on walks throughout the day. I’m happy to accommodate different walking and care schedules whenever possible. I have two dogs of my own, one large and one small, so I’m comfortable caring for dogs of different sizes and personalities. My home has a balcony with a well-designed pet area where pets can relax safely. I also enjoy taking dogs outside for walks and can provide plenty of exercise and attention throughout the day. I always follow each owner’s instructions carefully and make sure their pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for.

About: Hi there, I'm Torri, the one taking your furry friends for walks and watching them while you are gone! I've been surrounded by pets since I was a kid, from small dogs to big I feel comfortable with all sizes of dogs. Growing up, I raised pigs for 4-H and cared for horses, so I know the effort it takes to keep our animal buddies happy and healthy. Whether we're taking leisurely strolls or making sure our pets stay safe near roads, I'm dedicated to providing them with the best care possible during our walks and while hanging out at home. Lots of belly rubs and potty breaks incoming! Pet care is integrated into my daily routine. As a lifelong pet owner, I prioritize walks and playtime to ensure your fur babies receive the best care possible. My schedule is great for playtime and house sitting and to take your pets on a nice long walk in the morning and after I am off of work to get some of their energy out! If your dog likes runs/jogs I am happy to do that too! I tailor care to your pet's needs, offering both energetic jogs and leisurely strolls as requested by the owner. Hydration is key, and safety is always a priority. I will always bring water with me on the walks and ensure that your pet is on leash, and safe at home too!

“Joelle was great with Petey!”

About: When you’re away, your heart stays home with your pet. I have had animals my entire life, I have always had dogs and cats together. I specialize in dogs with anxiety, as I currently have two myself. However, I love and provide care to all puppies, kittens and seniors. I can administer medications, provide basic training and insure your animals are well taken care of, and provided with lots of love I currently have 2 dogs and 2 cats. I provide multiple walks, yard play, park play and lots of belly rubs. My schedule is open right now and I have the flexibility to support I put the needs of the pets and home owners first. I follow all requests and put safety as the number one focus. As a home owner who has welcomed Rover into my home, I understand the importance of safety and trust

About: I've grown up with big dogs and am now a dog and cat mom. Before my dog I boarded friends' dogs with me, watching them while they were away. My big dog is from the shelter and is fearful, so I have experience with shy shelter dogs, training, and managing their triggers. I also walk others' dogs. My schedule is flexible and is different depending on the day of the week. Communication is key , but I will try to make things work. At clients' homes I will follow their instructions and communicate any questions. I make sure the doors are locked when I leave, and try to be careful entering so animals don't potentially run away. Depending on instructions or pet temperaments, I will observe and work with them for enrichment and socialization needs. I make sure there is enough water in the bowls and feed as needed. For cats, I clean the litterboxes. They will not be in my home since I have pets.

About: I’ve been raising a very cute black pug for four years. For some reason, I couldn’t bring him with me and I miss him a lot. I really love dogs, so I’d love to do some dog-related work in my free time. I’m happy to let dogs on the sofa or bed, since I always clean them up after walks to make sure both they and the environment stay clean. I’ve spent time with many different dogs, including some that were initially unfriendly. By offering treats, approaching them slowly, and taking the time to get to know them, I was able to build trust. I’m very patient with dogs! From Monday to Friday, I’m usually out for 2–4 hours a day, but I’m home all day on weekends. During my free time, I’m happy to take dogs out to play. 1. Diet: I carefully control meal portions and feeding times, and always make sure dogs stay hydrated—especially in hot weather. After walks, I wait 5–10 minutes before giving them water. 2. Hygiene: I clean eye discharge promptly and keep both the dogs and their environment clean. 3. Exercise: I walk dogs 2–3 times a day. 30min/walk. 4. Playtime: In my free time, I love playing fetch, tug-of-war, or hide-and-seek with them. 5. Companionship: I spend as much time with them as possible. 6. Safety on walks: Dogs are always leashed outside. I stay alert when they interact with other dogs and separate them immediately if there are signs of aggression. I also make sure they don’t eat things off the ground, and I always clean up after them. 7. Sleeping: I used to sleep with my own dog, so if your dog is used to that, they’re welcome to join me too.

About: My name's Niko (they/them pronouns) and yes I've got a lot of tattoos and yes I’m genuinely good at bonding with your pets! I ran a private pet care business in CA for years, can provide references, back on this app cause new to the area! I’ve got experience in all sorts of pet care. I've spent years specializing in pets with anxious attachment styles and find bonding with an animal around their terms and quirks to be extremely important to forming long term working relationships. I have worked everything from public dog boarding facilities to private in home daycare. Basic pet CPR trained and have experience with our higher maintenance pets whether it be stricter feeding restrictions or medication schedules. Weekend and long term stays are more than welcomed! For day visits we can work one on one bonding with your pet or go out and work on socializing in a more public setting. Oh, and the endless spoiling your critter with love, of course! Let me know if you need any other info :) I work part time at a community art gallery so have lots of time to hang with your pets both in and outside of your home. My home is currently pet free so have all the time and space to focus on yours and I have a range of experience caring for pets in different environments.

About: I’ve been a pet caregiver since I was 15 and have been an owner of dogs of all breeds since I was 3! In home, overnight, periodical experience included. I have experience administering medication, dog walking and surgery aftercare as well. *Important* To the fellow pet parents & animal lovers alike, I’d just like to step in and thank you for considering me as your pet caregiver! I’m honored & grateful for the opportunity to care for your 4 legged family member. If I become your final choice and plans are arranged for a meet & greet, dates have been booked & both parties have confirmed your booking via the app, I just wanted to kindly & respectfully request that ALL of you wonderful parents, be mindful of cancellations. I completely understand that life happens, things change that are out of our control that allow cancellations to be of the utmost necessity; given said occurrences and situations. However, if you have a back up caregiver in mind outside of the app, a family member, a friend or just something that cause for you to feel any amount of uncertainty towards your booking, I strongly encourage you to please exhaust any of your other potential caregiving options prior to booking with me. I do have various different gigs and this one is my highest paying one. When a client cancels, it becomes quite difficult, overwhelming and frustrating to have a booking default to void after being reassured that my services are required. I genuinely enjoy my Rover clients and do hope to care for as many fuzzy friends as I can but financially & emotionally, I can’t afford to have clients that dangle confirmed bookings & then rescind them. Please be 100% sure that if you’re booking with me, you will keep your scheduled appointments if you’re absolutely capable in doing so. This constantly reoccurring issue is becoming far too frequent & this is my best effort & attempt at getting a handle on things. Once again I appreciate every single one of you & thank you all so very much for your consideration! I can’t take care of your little fuzzy one in my home but I can guarantee the trust and safety to be able to do so in yours. I have references to verify that as well, upon request.
