About: Berkeley Humane Society and Oakland Animal Services volunteer, trained with dogs of all temperaments. I also dog sit for family and friends, and love building trust and keeping routines consistent. I focus on quality walks, not quick outings. When appropriate, I take dogs to East Bay spots like Point Isabel, Albany Bulb and Berkeley Marina for space and stimulation. For drop-ins, your dog will get lots of attention, movement and care. I walk my dogs daily, often on longer outings. I adjust pace and distance based on your dog’s needs. Dog care is my priority right now. I’m available mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I have flexibility and I can accommodate longer walks or extended visits I prioritize safety at all times. Dogs will always be on-leash and handled either full attention and control. I stick to your instructions and keep routines consistent
“Ellie had a great day with Danielle and Joel! They were very active with her and gave her plenty of outdoor time which we so appreciate! Our pup came home happy and sleepy from her day of play.”
“Emily and her daughter were the best! We needed a last minute sitter for our puppy and they took such great care and updated us with photos We are so grateful we met them on Rover and definitely would recommend to any future pups! Don’t hesitate to book Emily if you have a chance to!!!”
“Latricia was very sweet with our dog! It's clear that she has a lot of experience with dogs. She sent multiple photos and updates during the day. She also gave us helpful information about his behavior afterwards.”
“Dylan and his family were amazing! Pancho enjoyed spending time with other pups. Something that as an only child he doesn’t get to do very often. Pancho was a bit constipated at the time of drop off and Dylan kept me in the loop and tracked any updates. I also received many photos and even a video of Panchitos adventures.”
“Sarah was amazing! Very kind and communicative. My 10 year old Australian Shepherd was comfortable and at ease with her and in her home. Very glad to have booked with her!”
“Alejandra is a fantastic sitter! We picked up our little girl happy and jolly after a day with her. I cannot thank her and her husband enough ❤️ she sent constant photos ,videos and updates throughout the day. Also, their puppy Nemo is adorable and so very friendly. If you want to have piece of mind about your dog knowing they'll be safe while having a great time, Alejandra is your sitter!”
“Sara was able to take in our dog Harper at really late notice! Thank you for being able to accommodate. My dog can be reactive so she was very helpful in introducing her dogs to mine and I really appreciated that shes seasoned with that. She was so communicative and literally texted back so fast! The backyard is beautiful and Harper even really loved her! Will be coming back!”
“It's hard for us find sitters that we are comfortable leaving Frankie with and we're so happy to have found Yeon Soo and Dan. Based on the messages with Yeon Soo, it was so obvious that they got to really know Frankie in just a few short hours and tended to his needs and wants! I'm sure Frankie is excited to see them again soon”
“Mariola was great! She's very sweet and loves dogs. She even sent me a photo of Jojo having fun with his new friends. This was my dog's first time in day care and I felt totally secure. I highly recommend her!”
“VJ and Matthew took amazing care of my dog Willa! They were so communicative and sent lots of pictures and videos. Willa seemed to have a great time with their dogs and feel comfortable despite her anxiety. Will definitely be booking again!”
“Alexandria is our favorite sitter! Ocean (our Labrador puppy) loves the times that he gets watched by her. Ocean always comes home happy and tired from all the playing. Alexandria is super easy to communicate with and sends updates and pictures throughout the day.”
“michelle and her husband are the best sitters and have been my go-tos ever since i adopted roo over a year ago. roo’s a little anxious but they make her feel comfortable and keep me posted on how she’s doing throughout the day. highly recommend!”
“Claudio was amazing with Xico. Xico does not always get along with other dogs, but Claudio has the ability to ease any tension or fear Xico may feel around new dogs. Claudio went above and beyond to make Xico feel at home. They even went to Alameda beach! I know Xico felt safe and happy due to Claudio’s warm energy. I’m so happy Xico could socialize and have fun this week!”
“Wow! That’s a busy walk. If there are distractions, I just give Molly the command to leave it and continue to walk. I expect her to behave with good leash manners. When she has the privilege to be off leash, it’s fair game to chase a squirrel or play with a dog if appropriate. Please do not worry about reporting back you gave her medication on time. I trust you:)”
Golden Gate dog parents share their Rover experiences
Sarah was wonderful with Bijou! He is a well-behaved dog but has a ton of energy, and it was clear that Sarah understood his personality perfectly. You could easily tell from the pictures she shared that he was having a blast. She took him on a couple of walks, and he came home completely happy and tired out from all the fun. I highly recommend Sarah for doggy day care and will definitely use her services again!
Amber helped me by watching my two little doggies for back to back 12 hour days! My sitter at my departure city fell through and I had to bring my doggies to the SF area, but had nonstop events where I couldn’t have the dogs. She was a life saver! She was super communicative and nice. A great experience.
I am so happy to have found Gretchen! She is a lovely person who obviously loves dogs and cats (I have both) and has clear extensive experience in caring for them. My dog Sidney typically spends a day each week in her care when I work far from home. I have peace of mind when my baby is with Gretchen; she takes her on multiple lovely walks each day to beautiful places like the Emeryville Marina and has a comfy inviting space where Sidney obviously feels very at home. I highly recommend Gretchen to care for your fur babies!
Mariola did a great job caring for my almost one year old puppy. I booked three days in a row while my husband was out of town and Pepper was eager to go each day. Mariola had helpful tips about managing youthful enthusiasm without shaming her for still working on self control.
VJ and Matthew are the best. I feel so safe leaving my dog Willa with them, I always trust that she’s in good hands. They take such good care of her; as an example, when she’s finicky with food they’ll hand feed her (without me ever having suggested it). They’re great communicators and always send the cutest pictures of Willa cuddling with them and the dogs. I couldn’t recommend them more highly.
Taylor is an absolute godsend! As well as her husband Kevin. She takes care of Kahlo weekly when I go to work and I am able to relax knowing Kahlo is in the best hands. I went on my first trip recently and Kahlo stayed with Taylor and Kevin for several days. Being a new dog mom, meant I had overwhelming anxiety leaving on my first trip and was so worried about leaving my dog convinced she would have serious separation anxiety. Well, I was totally wrong. LOL. I am honestly not sure that Kahlo wanted to leave. She had the best time and enjoyed all the attention she was spoiled with during her stay. Taylor was so sweet and sent me so many updates and pictures throughout her stay. She even printed a keepsake of pictures from her stay that I now have in my home. I was able to relax and enjoy my time away. It has been a true blessing finding Taylor. She is kind, communicative, and treats your dog as her own. Thank you Taylor and Kevin for being so awesome ❤️! Truly Grateful.
