About: I am a dependable and compassionate pet sitter with a genuine love for animals of all kinds. Experienced in caring for dogs, cats, and small animals, I provide attentive, personalized care tailored to each pet’s unique needs and personality. I am skilled in feeding, administering basic medications, maintaining exercise routines, and ensuring a safe, comfortable environment. Whether it’s playful interaction, quiet companionship, or detailed care for special needs pets, I prioritize their well-being and happiness. With strong communication skills, I keep pet owners updated for peace of mind while they are away. Pet care is a natural part of my daily and weekly routine. I schedule regular feeding times, walks, and play sessions to ensure pets feel secure and cared for. I make time for exercise, grooming, and plenty of affection, whether it’s in the morning before starting my day, during midday breaks, or in the evenings. On a weekly basis, I also handle tasks like cleaning pet spaces, refreshing bedding, and restocking supplies. This consistent routine helps me keep pets happy, healthy, and comfortable. When caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where they can relax and feel at ease. I follow their regular feeding schedules, ensure fresh water is always available, and create a balance of playtime, exercise, and rest. I keep living areas pet-friendly and supervise interactions to prevent accidents. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I maintain their normal routines to reduce stress. This includes feeding, walking, administering basic medications, cleaning litter boxes or cages, and giving plenty of attention. I also respect the home by keeping it tidy, following instructions closely, and providing regular updates so owners know their pets are happy and well-cared for.

About: Greetings! I'm Patrick. I've done a bunch of pet and house sitting on another platform, as well as for family, friends and acquaintances, besides having my own pets or sharing them with past partners. I used to practice massage therapy and reiki. I bring a similar intention to handling pets that I brought to responding to clients needs. I'd like to do part-time pet care in the East Bay, with some availability to housesit for longer sits around the full Bay Area. I can be more spontaneous for pet care near Oakland depending upon the timing. For longer resident sits please try to give me a week or two notice with a request. I'll see what works. Thanks! What an honor it is to care for people's homes and pets! I feel excited to transition my pet and house-sitting to this platform. Thanks for your consideration. I enjoy caring for pets and homes. I appreciate the trust-building process, staying accountable and growing as a person, all which these experiences foster. I intend to be a respectful well-communicating sitter and to provide a safe fun atmosphere for your pets. I appreciate receiving questions and feedback during a video chat or in person meet and greet where we get to know each other.

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and genuinely love caring for them. I have a 8 year old Miniature Pinscher, Norman, who has taught me a lot about patience, routines, and making dogs feel safe and comfortable in their own way. (I don’t have him with me full time) I’m comfortable with dogs of different personalities and energy levels, and I’m happy to follow your pup’s usual routine, whether that means long walks, playtime, plenty of cuddles, or simply keeping them company. I’ll treat your dog like my own and keep you updated while you’re away. I am home in the morning and evenings on the weekdays. I am free to take your pets out on walks every couple hours or as needed. I prioritize safety and trust by maintaining a clean, secure environment for pets. I ensure their routines are followed, provide plenty of playtime and affection, and always keep a close eye on them to prevent any accidents. Your pets will feel comfortable and cared for in my home or yours. I have a fenced in yard as well

“Jonathan was fantastic with Roman this weekend! His communication was excellent from start to finish. He kept me updated throughout the walk and sent photos and videos so I could see Roman having a great time. He also made sure Roman was fed and taken care of exactly as instructed. It's clear Jonathan genuinely cares about the pets he looks after, and I felt completely at ease knowing Roman was in good hands. Would absolutely book him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive rover!”

About: I grew up surrounded by pets and have spent my entire life caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. For over 12 years, friends and family have trusted me as their go-to person for walking, feeding, bathing, and looking after their animals — long before I made it a profession. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, anxious pets, and multi-dog households. Every pet in my care gets photo and video updates throughout the day so you always know your dog is happy, safe, and loved. Caring for pets fits naturally into my routine because I intentionally keep a flexible schedule to provide reliable, attentive care. I also believe in consistency, communication, and treating every pet like they’re my own are what give owners peace of mind while they’re away. Your pet’s safety is my top priority. I respect your home and follow your instructions closely. I provide regular photo and video updates for peace of mind, and I’m experienced with dogs of all temperaments, including anxious, seniors and special needs pets. Potty breaks will be according to however the owner pet would like to keep your dog comfortable and on routine.

About: I've been pet sitting/babysitting/house sitting since I was young. I am very reliable and have no problem communicating any problems that arise or questions I may have. I have experience in family/house management as well. Let me know if you have any questions! I look forward to hearing from you! My fiancee and I just moved to the area, so I have lots of free time and availability to give each pet the time they deserve. I am extremely reliable and am willing to work with any schedule and around when you would prefer your pets have attention and their needs taken care of. I understand how important pets are in someone's life and it's a serious responsibility.

About: I have experience caring for cats while their owners are away, including feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, brushing, playing, and providing companionship. I have also cared for cats with special care needs by following the owner’s instructions to give medication with food and closely monitoring their eating and well-being. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and comfortable, and I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and attention. I have a flexible schedule and can provide reliable pet care throughout the week. I enjoy spending time with animals and will make sure your pet receives the attention, care, and companionship they need while you’re away. I’ll always communicate with you and provide updates so you know your pet is safe and doing well. I respect every client’s home and carefully follow all care instructions to keep pets comfortable and maintain their normal routine. Whether it’s feeding, fresh water, playtime, cleaning the litter box, administering medication with food according to the owner’s instructions, or simply providing companionship, I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and attention. I’ll also send regular updates and photos so you can travel with peace of mind.

About: I've spent years earning trust with other people's pets (and their homes). I grew up with cats in my home (and a couple fish), and lots of time around friends' dogs, and now I love pet sitting as much as possible. I don't have any pets of my own at the moment (I travel too frequently), but I love them so much, so I seek it out when I can. I have lots of variety in pet-sitting experience: I've housesat for 3.5 weeks with a Golden Retriever, a cat, and a jungle of houseplants; spent a month looking after two guinea pigs and a frog; cared for an indoor baby goat for a week; and watched a Labradoodle regularly since he was just 4 months old, watching him grow up. I've also done extended stays with pretty much every kind of cat including Bengals, plus Trusted House Sits across California, Oregon, England, and Spain (totaling about 5 months) with reviews carried over to Rover. I treat every pet like they're my own, and every home even better than my own (it'll be spotless when you return). I am 30 years old, going back to school in San Francisco (CCSF) to become a nurse, starting January 2027. I do not have a job at the moment as I just moved to the area, but I have some work I can do remotely while at home. I will have lots of availability to care for pets, particularly up until the end of the year. I can be very flexible, as needed. I’m happy to adjust my schedule for whatever your pet is used to. When caring for pets in the client's home, I am incredibly respectful of their space and routine. I make sure to maintain the usual routine of care when the owners are home, to make things as comfortable as possible for the pets. I treat the home better than my own, doing a deep clean before owners return. I follow all instructions exactly, and maintain open, consistent and clear communication with owners. I love sharing photos and stories of my time with their pets throughout my stay.

About: 🧡🐶🐱🧡 As a lifelong animal lover and experienced pet parent, I’m passionate about providing top-notch care for your furry family members. Coming from a family that adores animals, I grew up surrounded by pets—dogs, cats, puppies, a parakeet, and even a turtle! This upbringing instilled in me a natural ability to care for animals of all kinds, understanding their unique needs and personalities. Whether it’s an energetic puppy who loves playtime or a senior dog needing extra comfort, I provide personalized care to ensure every pet feels loved and secure. 🐾 Dog walking with me is more than just exercise—it’s an opportunity for fun and connection! I’ll make sure your pup gets plenty of attention, mental stimulation, and excitement on every outing. When it comes to dog sitting, I go above and beyond to follow your special requests, from feeding schedules and medications to bedtime routines and favorite toys. I treat your fur baby as if they were my own. 🐾 Also currently, I am again a puppy mom to a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and enjoying every moment of it 🐶 My dedication to this process reflects the same care I bring to looking after your beloved pets. With me, you can trust that your fur baby will be pampered, cared for, and treated like royalty—because I know firsthand how much they mean to you! 🧡🐶🐱🧡 Any open slots and I am available for your fur baby.

About: Through having dogs myself, dog walking, and taking care of friends dogs for the past 9 years I have experience sitting, walking, and playing with dogs. In the past year I have adopted the sweetest dog named Cariño, a 35 pound terrier mix, and have cared for them through their puppy stages and now into adulthood! I primarily have experience with dogs weighing 10-60 pounds and dogs of all ages. I'm good at taking control of a situation and can also understand when a dog is scared, upset, or just needs a break. I have a car so I can come to you and live walking distance from Lake Merritt. I'm currently working part-time and have plenty of time to go on hikes, walks, or check in on your pup! I am flexible during weekdays and am unavailable on weekends currently. I have experience raising my own currently one and a half year dog. I can easily crate your dog and leave them well-rested. I do not let dogs go outside unleashed unless there are specific instructions to do so. I work part-time and have a flexible schedule so I am happy to make things work with your pet needs whether it's morning, middle of the day, or early evenings. I am not accepting pets in my home because we have a dog and a cat who are a bit sensitive to other pet friends.

Ale did some dog walking for us a few days a week for several weeks, and I really enjoyed working with her. She was dependable, very communicative, and just generally great with our dogs. One of our dogs is reactive and she really didn't shy away from any challenges. I told her some of the issues that could come up, and she made sure to let me know how things went with those concerns in mind. She's a true dog lover, and it was so helpful to me to know that our dogs were safe, well cared for, and enjoying some great company while I was at work. We definitely hope to work with Ale again!

Sydney followed all of the complicated instructions smoothly and handled my dog with separation anxiety gently in her first visit. She met my dog where she was and applied just the right amount of effort to try and get her out. Hopefully Sydney will be able to walk her again, so that they can get to know each other better and the anxiety will melt away. Thank you, Sydney!
