Megan was great with my 2 Boxer dogs. They’re a handful and she had no problem playing, feeding and taking them potty. She is also very good communicating and hearing all of my concerns with my dogs.

Angelique is the BEST!!! I have an elderly 14 year old Pitmix with high dietary supplement and high care needs. My character-judgung do g took to ger instantly with her loving animal vibe. She was loving, patient and took pics with sweet notes to settle any of my anxiousness about leaving her. She also took amazing care of my shy cat and my mouse. And she did small chores for a minimal fee. Angelique is dependable and when I got home I was so impressed on how she maintained my home and furbabies. We would hire her again as we would look no further!!! Thanks , Angelique 😍🤩

About: Hello All, my name is Jaylen. I am a college graduate who enjoys exercise, spending time outdoors & animals.

I hope this introduction serves as a warm welcome to anyone who reads this. Thank you! I currently work for myself, so I’ll have a lot of time to stop by and attend to your pups!

It is very accommodating for pets, good neighborhood and very nice routes to walk.

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!

About: With 16 years of hands-on experience, I bring a calm, confident energy that pets (and their humans!) trust. I’m currently caring for my own sweet 15-year-old senior pup, so I’m especially tuned in to the needs of older pets—whether it’s medication, slow strolls, or just a little extra TLC. I’ve seen it all, from wiggly puppies to wise old souls, and I treat every pet like they’re family. My goal? To make tails wag and hearts feel at ease. Pet care fits naturally into my routine—I work from home and have a flexible schedule, so I’m available during the day for walks, check-ins, or cuddle breaks. Whether it’s a midday stroll or a bit of playtime to break up the day, I love incorporating pet care into my everyday rhythm. It keeps me moving, smiling, and surrounded by furry joy—what could be better? In my home, pets are treated like part of the family! I have a sweet senior dog who’s very friendly and laid-back, so visiting pets get a calm, welcoming vibe. I’ve got a fenced-in backyard for safe outdoor time, and I’m happy to follow whatever routine makes your pet feel most comfortable—whether that means crate time, couch time, or anything in between. In clients' homes, I aim to keep their pet’s routine consistent and stress-free, with lots of love, attention, and belly rubs!

About: Been the primary source of training and exercise for my family’s dogs since I was 13. With training large breed dogs, specifically Rottweilers and various rescues. I have a lot of experience with larger willful breeds, but also have had a few years of smaller fluffier breeds like French poodles. I am currently the primary caregiver of my son and so taking him and Sierra for walks and play dates is ver much part of my day. I have a fenced in yard for my 3 year old Rottweiler but take longer walks along Lake Chabot on the regular. She is an inside dog and has been trained to be very friendly as I have two elderly cats who are decidedly not friendly towards her. That said when we are not home I have seen the cats snuggle the dog via the doggy cam!

I have a long and trusted history helping my family & friends with their pet care needs. From simple walks, short/long term care, training help and check ins.

I prefer to care for your family in your home to avoid any undue stress being in a new environment. Trust in me...& be happy. I work remotely. I am a Quality Assurance Specialist. Working from home allows near constant supervision. I go on 3 walks a day with my dog. I can work in your home as long as you have a good wifi connection. I prefer to watch in my client's home to avoid any extra stress and keep your pet comfortable while you are away. I can make some exceptions. When I watch in my home, I do have a fenced in yard and easy access for dogs with a dog door. I am great with communication and instructions. As a quality specialist I pay a lot of attention to detail and caring for your pets will be no different.

About: Hi, Meghan here, I have always been a dog-lover. I live in Oakland with my mom, a fellow dog-lover! I allow our furry friends on the couch, but can also work on furniture-boundaries if your pooch isn't allowed on furniture at your own home. I work from home, so I'll be home most of the day during the weekdays. The longest your pup will be home alone (with my pups) is around 5 hours. I am comfortable with big dogs. I can give medications, and can brush your pooch as well! Here's a little about us: Meghan has been a dog-lover since birth. She grew up with dogs of all shapes and sizes. Treesa loves pups of all sizes! Meet my pets: Just the dogs! About my yard We have a fenced backyard. My experience administering medication We are comfortable administering oral medication. **We do have a Potty Clause. We understand accidents happen, and are very forgiving, as pups are often excited and can't help themselves at first. However, we have occasionally had extreme repeat offenders. We take dogs on the basis that they are potty trained. If we feel there are an excessive number of indoor incidents, we will let you know, and ask for a $10 additional fee (per week, or fraction thereof), to cover the cost of laundry and cleaning supplies.** Thanks! I work from home so your pup will hang out with me at home, join me on walks, and get to spend the day with me! I have a fenced yard. Security gate at my back door means fresh air without escape opportunity. We're working on installing a dog door, so that should happen later this year!

About: I have taken care of dogs and own animals since I was 15 years old. I have fluctuated from having dogs, cats, and even chinchillas! I have used rover in the past for my own animals and know what it is like to be a fur baby mama and how it can be hard and scary to find the right person for the job! I treat every animal like my own, I give them love, patience and attention! All of my animals have been rescues and have all had their own life struggles that has only made me a better mom to them. I work full-time, but it is very flexible and allows me to go and let my dogs out when needed or do drop ins. Weekends, evenings and some Fridays I am completely off work and able to engage in your animals. Safety is a priority! I have had my share of bad Rover experiences and would never want animal parents to go through that! Knowing fully what is needed and what can be done to provide the safest and best care to your animal is priority

Marlene just did the first drop in visit for our two dogs. She was very communicative, punctual, and made sure to secure the house when she left. Plus it was a very rainy day, and she got the dogs all cleaned up when they came in from the yard. Glad we found a reliable person.

Kayla is truly the BEST and we feel so lucky we found her 🥹✨ From our very first meet & greet, we knew she was special — she literally showed up with a notebook and asked the most thoughtful questions about our dogs, routines, preferences, and care. That level of preparation and attention immediately put us at ease. She gives total Disney princess energy. So gentle, calm, kind, and clearly such an animal person. Both of our small, anxious rescue pups absolutely adore her (which says everything because they can be pretty selective with people!). She made them feel safe right away and has been incredibly patient and attentive with them. She’s also an amazing communicator — proactive, responsive, thoughtful updates, and just generally someone who makes you feel like your pets are in such good hands. We’re so grateful to have found Kayla and genuinely can’t recommend her enough. Thank you for taking such good care of our fur babies 🤍

Maricruz was absolutely wonderful with my two cats! She did a fantastic job managing their very different personalities and specific routines. One of my cats was all about playtime and cuddles with her, while my other cat hid the entire time and refused to eat out of anxiety. Maricruz was incredibly attentive and understanding—she patiently tried every trick I suggested to gently lure my skittish cat into eating. I felt so comforted knowing they were in such caring, capable hands. Highly recommend!

I had the pleasure of meeting Christina and having her stay in our home, and we couldn’t be happier. We have three dogs, and when I came home they were clearly content and well cared for—I know this because they were happily exhausted! Christina sent us the most adorable photos during her stay, which brought us so much peace of mind. Our home looked wonderful as well—honestly, even better than when we left it. Our dogs each have big personalities and very specific needs, and Christina listened carefully and followed everything exactly as we discussed. We are so grateful to have her in our lives now and felt completely confident that our dogs were safe, loved, well fed, and truly cared for. That’s all anyone could ever want. And she is very cool and patient! Lucky us!
