Pet Sitting Jefferson

“Vania was awesome!!! I needed someone last minute and she came through. She was great with my two pitbulls and treated them like queens. She was always on time and very communicative with pictures. I strongly recommend and will be using her in the future.”

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

“Laura is a lifesaver. She got along with our dog quickly (not easy!) and took care of all his needs on ournin-office days. Would highly recommend!”

“This was the first time Sydney dropped in on my cat Mystery for me. From the start in it was a great experience. Sydney has great energy, good communication and showed genuine care for my cat Mystery. I recieved a detailed update with pictures. I will definitely be booking her again!”

About: i’ve been a dog mom for 20+ years and have basically had dogs my whole life. i trained my own dog from puppyhood and i’ve helped friends (and other pet parents) with basic training and routine stuff too. i’ve taken multiple training classes, so i’m comfortable with things like leash manners, boundaries, and reinforcing good behavior in a calm, consistent way. i’m naturally really good with dogs and i’m great at reading their body language, even the ones that are anxious, reactive, or “don’t usually like people.” i’m patient, confident, and i keep things low-stress so pups feel safe and listened to. i work from home, so i’ve got plenty of time to give your pup real attention throughout the day (not just quick check-ins). i’m happy to do multiple walks a day, and since i’m near downtown oakland, we’ve got plenty of great walk routes, lake merritt, nearby parks, and lots of good “sniffari” streets. in my home, your pup gets a safe, relaxed setup with lots of attention. i have a fenced patio so they can hang in the sun and get fresh air, and inside they’ll have plenty of room to stretch out, lounge, and roam comfortably. we’ve also got nearby open spaces, fields, and trails for walks and play. depending on your dog and what you’re comfortable with, i can do off-leash play (only where it’s safe/appropriate) or keep everything leashed, solo adventures or playtime with my dogs if your pup enjoys company. i’m big on following your routine and keeping things consistent: feeding schedules, meds, crate time, training cues, slow introductions, whatever your dog needs. i’m totally comfortable with seniors, shy/anxious pups, and dogs with special instructions. and if your dog would do best with more backyard time, i can also utilize my girlfriend’s place nearby with a fully fenced backyard for extra outdoor play/sniff time (with your permission).

“My first time having a pet sitter and Christina was excellent. My dog normally isnt very friendly but he seems to totally trust Christina by the time I got back. I'd 100% rebook for the next time. Thanks Christina.”

About: I am experienced in providing gentle, including walks to the parks and beaches, while maintaining a calm and comfortable environment inside home and outside home. My job requires me a peculiar freedom to have a flexible schedule. I am morning person and love going in evening strolls regardless of sorting setting. In my home, I create a fun and safe space for pets, with cozy spots to relax, play, and eat. They get fresh water, regular walks, and all the love and attention they could ask for! I stick to their routine to keep them happy and stress-free. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I make sure they feel right at home, following their usual routine. From daily walks and playtime to feeding and cuddles, I keep everything tidy and comfy. I want them to feel relaxed and loved while their owner’s away!

“Cara did a great job dropping in to take care of our two cats, including one who needs twice daily insulin shots! We appreciated her flexibility in arranging the meet and greet and picking up the keys. Thank you!”

About: I have had my own cats for about ten years and had farm cats and dogs as a child. My cat recently passed and I am not quite ready to adopt another but want to help others in the mean time! As of right now I’m boarding a sweet female cat for a friend and have been for about a month but she will be going back home in the next few weeks! I live in a studio apartment so I am able to board small to medium animals. I am off just two days otherwise I am available in afternoons after I am off work! Let me know if you have additional questions about my experience or availability! I work full time in San Francisco so I usually leave pretty early in the morning and get back home early afternoon Wednesday through Sunday. Monday and Tuesday I am off but run a few errands. When I had my kitty she would usually feed wet food in the morning and leave some dry food for the day, then when I got home I would leave out some more wet food for the night. I of course have a water fountain and plenty of toys and scratchers for the day and have some play time when I get home. I have a studio apartment so not much room for a big dog but I do have a quiet neighborhood for walks and a gated backyard for play time. Cats should be no issue in the apartment with all the toys and scratchers I have!

“Responsive, helpful, and our puppy loved her!”

“My two cats had a wonderful time with Cathy. She played with them and gave them lots of petting. Both of my fur babies were happy and content when I got home. That was just priceless for me - that they were happy and content while I was away. Thank you Cathy!”

Connie T.

“Korin was amazing with our dogs. They can be a little hesitant of strangers when they first come but she did an amazing job adapting to their personality and caring for them. Will book again!”

About: I grew up taking care of big dogs. In the past couple of years I worked at a local doggy daycare(board & train facility) and then got my training certification. I learned a lot about dog behavior and dog nutrition while working there. I worked in the boarding department which dealt with administering medication, handling senior or handicap dogs with care, handling new foster dogs and even puppies, and required CPR classes. I love all sizes and breeds and will always have your dogs safety and happiness as my main priority. ❤️ I’m currently working at home and have a veryy OPEN schedule!! I would be happy to drop in last minute to check up on your dog or to take them out for a walk. However, for over night stays they should be scheduled atleast 2 days in advance so that we have time to discuss the pups needs and preventative behaviors, most importantly it guarantees your dog is the happiest goober haha. If you are looking to board, we have a fenced backyard. The dogs can always be seen and safe with fresh air. I also love running my dog in the morning and if your dog is interested I would take them as well! I love providing mental enrichment toys to the dogs during there stay. I personally love using rover so I can practice behavioral dog training so your pup will come back refreshed and happy …maybe even new commands like backup, turn left / right…

“Avery was great! Our cats just loved her as shown in the photos we received. She was on time, followed instructions, kept everything clean, and was a great communicator. We felt safe leaving our pets in her hand. We highly recommend Avery and will definitely book her again.”

Fabienne J.

“Maricruz did an incredible job checking in on my furbaby. She was so gentle, sweet, and clearly cared a lot about making sure my “Buddy” was comfortable and well looked after. He is 15 years old so I get really nervous leaving him but her communication was fantastic, and the updates made me feel so reassured. I’m very grateful for the care she gave and would happily trust her again. Buddy seconds that! :)”

Shiloh Y.

“This was our first time using Rover and Sydney made it an absolutely wonderful experience. She’s extremely reliable, shares pictures and info on how the pups are doing. Both of my dogs were happy and well cared for! We hope to have Sydney take care of our pups again in the future!”

About: Hi! I’m Madeline. I’m an urban planner based in Seattle and am currently living in the East Bay while my partner works in the area. I’d love to provide dependable, thoughtful care for your pets while you’re away! I’ve been a cat owner for eight years and grew up caring for cats, dogs, guinea pigs, and even a 40-year-old parrot! For just as long, I’ve been trusted by friends, neighbors, and loved ones to care for their cats and dogs. I understand how important it is to know your pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for when you can’t be there yourself. I’d love to meet you and your furry family members! Thank you for considering me for your pet care needs. I have a flexible work schedule while I’m in the East Bay, so I can provide plenty of attention and accommodate your pet’s routine. I’m happy to work around feeding times, walks, medications, and other specific care needs to help keep your pet comfortable and on their normal schedule. I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for every pet in my care. I’m attentive to their routines, boundaries, and individual needs, and I treat every home with the same respect I would my own.

“Did a wonderful job taking care of my cat. Thank you so much.”

About: I’m the devoted doggie aunt to some pretty fantastic pups, and I genuinely love spending time with dogs. Walks aren’t something I rush through—I’m happy to let your dog sniff, explore, get some exercise and enjoy being outside. I’m dependable, attentive and comfortable following your dog’s particular routine, whether that means a brisk walk, a leisurely neighborhood sniffari, playtime or just some extra company and affection. I’ll treat your pup like one of my own—even though I’m still waiting for one of my own! My schedule is currently very flexible, which means I can accommodate weekday and weekend visits and walks, including daytime hours when many people are at work. I’m happy to work around your pet’s established routine and give them the time and attention they’re accustomed to. I know that trusting someone with your pet—and access to your home—is a big deal. I’m mature, dependable, communicative and respectful of your space and your pet’s routine. I follow instructions carefully, pay attention to changes in behavior, and know how to stay calm if something unexpected happens. Most importantly, I’ll treat your pets with patience, kindness and affection.
