Barbara was fantastic. She took excellent care of our dog and our house. She sent us pictures everyday and let us know how things were going. She took our doggie on regular walks and cared for him as if he were hers. He was a very happy dog when we got home. I highly recommend Barbara!!

Meshaal took great care of our 55 lb pup and our cat in our home while we were on vacation! They were thorough in preparing for the job, very communicative while we were away, and followed all of our feeding and exercise instructions. We would definitely have Meshaal sit for us again!

Shivani was so loving with our dogs and very communicative! My partner and I realized we were looking forward to new pictures several times a day while we were gone. It gave us such extraordinary peace of mind to know that somebody who cares so much about our girls was there, not only to feed them and give them their meds, but to keep them company and play with them.

Melina was an incredible dog sitter for my pup! She is highly responsive, thoughtful, and followed all of my instructions. It was my first time leaving my dog over the weekend using Rover and it was a great experience! My dog became quickly comfortable and relaxed with her and she made sure to send tons of text and photo updates throughout the weekend. Thank you again, Melina!

Dane was amazing and I’m so relieved to have found such a great sitter on our first go at Rover. He’s extremely communicative and took amazing care of both our cat and dog. We received frequent updates and photos and knew both our babies were in good hands. Our dog was extremely well exercised, and Dane went above and beyond to still check in and greet our cat (while giving her space) who doesn’t do well with people. Dane also went above and beyond to leave our house neater than when he first arrived! Would highly recommend Dane, and I’m so glad to know we have a reliable, trusted sitter for future vacations!

Bryanna was great! Ready to jump in and help in anyway possible. Took a last minute booking that REALLY helped us. Bryanna was more than happy to go over details with us before the sitting. All the questions Bryanna asked us about our dog and his needs made it apparent that our dog would be cared for while we were gone. We came back to a happy, tired, and well-cared for dog! Would absolutely book again 😊

Chloe and Rosie (our 8yo Aussie shepherd) are new besties! Rosie - who is usually keeping an eye on us every minute - had a blast being looked after by Chloe and was as happy as she could be. Now she is wondering why she doesnt get walked as much.... I couldnt recommend chloe more highly. We spent a week away without a moment's concern.

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats my whole life. I have seen pets through life from young to elderly, providing medications and cleaning up countless messes. Nothing will surprise me. I attune to pet personalities well: I love snuggling with the snuggly ones, take care around skittish ones, and everything in between. I am punctual and respectful of your time and space. I’m currently working part-time from home and I am available on short notice to provide care for your loved ones. I am quick to respond and can travel within the East Bay comfortably. I provide loving care in the form of house and pet-sitting, dog walking, feeding, medications, play time, snuggling, and more. I am a highly attuned individual, so I will learn your pet’s needs and meet them where they are at. I work comfortably with pets with boundaries, aggression, skittishness, and other high needs. As a house and pet-sitter, I always leave the home exactly as I found it. I respect your property and make your pet’s safety the highest priority. I will follow your guidelines to the letter and I’m happy to send you pictures to help your mind be at ease.

Eleanna is the best sitter on Rover. She watched our senior extra large, picky girl (with multiple medications) for a week and made us feel so comfortable with the whole Rover process. We came back to a clean house and a very happy pooch. Eleanna communicated with us everyday and sent a series of photos with each message. The level of care she showed us, our dog, and our home has made us repeat customers! Thank you Eleanna!!

Sarah was awesome. She took care of my high maintenance blind, senior dog for three days while I was out of town. She handled his many medications and followed my detailed instructions for his care completely. She even moved my car into the garage for me when I needed it, and my home was spotless upon return. She is very professional and very thorough. And is especially skilled with sr/diabled dogs. I will for sure book her again for help with my lil guy.

Kendra fits us in sort of last minute, but despite that she was very thorough in getting the details needed to care for my senior crew. Both my cat and my dog have several medications a day, and Kendra handled it all very smoothly. She paid extra attention to some troubles my old dog was having, and kept me updated throughout her stay. House was very clean and well maintained, and everyone seemed happy and content. My younger dog even wanted to go home with Kendra! Highly recommend her and will use her help again as soon as I can.
