“Cyvanah was wonderful with my baby boi Hilo. I especially appreciated the multiple photos and summaries of each day from Cyvanah. It put my mind at ease and I looked forward to each update while away. She bonded with my kitton spectacularly and he was cuddling on her lap in no time. She has a way with cats and I would trust Cyvanah with any fur baby of mine. She is professional, punctual and a great communicator.”

“Jesse was so kind to accommodate for my last minute booking. He made sure my pup was taken care of and is a very considerate sitter! Appreciate the regular updates and flexibility. Will definitely recommend him for any future bookings.”


About: *I only board dogs from one home at a time* I love to jog around Lake Merritt, and I'd be happy to take your fur baby along for a run! I've cared for dogs and cats, healthy and sick, with very specific dietary restrictions and activity needs. I wish I could have my own pet, but since I travel pretty often, this is the next best thing. :-) I’m a Product Manager with a hybrid work schedule. Rest assured, I can easily get from work to home on in-office days for walks/drop-ins if needed. I also work at a dog friendly office. I am available most days for drop-ins 2x/day. On weekday evenings, I typically go on runs (with/without dogs!). Expect many photos of your fur baby while you're away! I'm happy to drop in to check on food, water, litter (for cats), and take your pup on walks. I am very detail oriented, so if you have very particular instructions regarding diet or preferences while outside, you can trust me to follow them. For boarding, I have bowls for water and food as well as doggy waste bags. You would need to provide their food, treats, toys, (litter for kitties), and anything else to make their stay more comfortable!
About: While I'm new to Rover, I have over 10 years experience taking care of my friends and family's cats, dogs, insects, and plants. I'm excited to start this business on Rover and extend that pet/plant care to the people in my East Bay community! I'm a landscape horticulture student in Oakland, so when I'm not in class, working in my garden, or spending time with my own kitties, I love taking care of my friends, neighbors, and families' pets. They bring so much silliness and happiness into my routine! When walking your dogs or taking care of your pets in your home, respect, safety, and trust are my top priorities. The pet parents I work with know their pets best, and I take their guidance and wishes very seriously. When I'm housesitting, I treat clients' homes with even more respect than I treat my own.
“Ayanna took great care of my 2 cats! She was very responsive, sent videos to check how she gave my cat medication, and lots of photos, I’ll definitely be booking again!”

“Went above and beyond taking care of our babies, looking forward to working with Kevin soon again! So grateful for all all he has done thus far, and additionally isvery impressive with follow ups, app guidance, and punctuality!”

“I was super stressed about finding a sitter for my 11 week old pup last minute for an all day training at work, and even more nervous about having a stranger visit my place! But Alejandra had fantastic reviews and even initiated meet & greet, which I really appreciated. And when she came to meet me and MoMo - boy, did my puppy LOVE her immediately, which made ME love her too!! :) Finally, on the day of the appointment, Alejandra showed up on time, followed all my requests, and took such good care of my puppy for an hour. TYSM Alejandra, I will book with you again next time MoMo needs a sitter!! ❤️❤️❤️”

“Fuliang did a great job. I felt my cat Alba was well cared for. I got a nice detailed report on the last day. Could have used a picture of my cat everyday but otherwise I am a very satisfied customer and will use this sitter again for my pet sitting needs.”

“Stephanie did an incredible job watching my cat! She provided lots of pictures, videos and detailed updates every day. She was also super helpful grabbing packages, watering house plants and dealing with an unexpected ant issue. Truly so grateful! I strongly recommend her for any pet care you may require.”

About: I adore dogs. I can’t have my own so I cherish every moment! I’ve done a good amount of dog sitting/ walking both small and large dogs. We have a great time, I love playing with them, taking them out as many times a day as they like, and having sleepovers to keep them company. I have a pretty flexible schedule so I am often able to make lots of different times/days work. Weekends are totally fine for me as well. In my house I only have space for a small dog. I have two cats. I am able to take them on as many walks as they need a day, play with them, cuddle them, make sure they’re comfy and having a good time. At a clients house it is similar except any size dog or cat is good for me!

About: Your pet's comfort is our top priority. We live in a pet-friendly 2b2b apartment where your furry friend will get VIP treatment. Since I specialize in making natural pet treats, your pup or kitty will have endless treats during their stay! We have a separate, private room specifically available for pets who prefer their own space or need a quiet environment away from our friendly resident Maltipoo. We are cat-friendly and highly experienced with large breeds (up to 80lbs). From cozy naps to gourmet treats, we provide a safe, fun, and delicious home away from home! • Morning: A refreshing walk around Oakland followed by breakfast. • Mid-day: High energy fun at the dog park with plenty of fetch and ball play. • Afternoon: Nap time! Pets can recharge in our private spare room or a sunny spot. • Evening: Dinner and indoor play, featuring unlimited handmade treats from my workshop. • Night: A final potty walk and cozy snuggles before bedtime. We live in a spacious, pet-friendly 2b2b apartment in Oakland. For your peace of mind, we have a dedicated spare room that is not used by humans, it’s a perfect "private suite" for pets who need their own space, are shy, or require isolation for health or personality reasons.

About: Hello! My name is Nayeli (Nah-eh-lee) and I’ve recently moved to the Bay Area from Georgia and would love to be your dogs new walker/sitter! I grew up with lots of pets from cats, dogs, fish and even goats. I currently am available for same day bookings and will take care of your dogs with whatever special instructions given if any. I understand that our furry friends are also part of your family and I will treat them as such 😊 if you have any questions or want to reach out for a booking I would love to hear from you! I currently have an open and flexible schedule, so I'm available most days and can often accommodate last-minute requests. I love spending time with animals and would be happy to give your pet the attention and care they need. I know pets are usually most comfortable at home, so I focus on keeping their routine consistent by following all instructions given, making sure they feel safe, and treating your home with care and respect as if it were my own.
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).
About: I have a flexible schedule and am booking dog walks and drop-ins! I can accommodate for whether your dog likes more activity or needs a quiet and calm environment. I have experience dealing with dogs and other animals with anxiety and other medical or physical needs. I work from home at my own pace so I can accommodate different needs! Ideally, pet guests can be left at home alone for about an hour for errands and other events that come up. Please provide a crate if your dog cannot be left alone for over an hour. My home is responsible and dog safe with gates to prevent access to the kitchen. My yard is not fenced but I always keep dogs leashed.
“Akiko was extremely responsive and went above and beyond. Our cat clearly loved her too! Akiko exhibited outstanding professionalism and genuine care for our pet. Can’t thank her enough.”

“I just really have to commend Lauren for coming to my rescue at the 11th hour! This was my first time booking through Rover. I didn’t provide enough lead time as I should have for a meet and greet, but she was able to accommodate my schedule and do one the same day that I booked. I truly appreciated that! Lauren was amazing with Queen and Titan! They quickly warmed up to her and loved playing and interacting with her. Lauren sent a thorough report with pictures. Definitely made me feel relieved that they were well taken care of while I was away. We can’t wait to book her again!”

About: As a dedicated and compassionate pet caregiver, I go beyond basic care to ensure each dog feels safe, loved, and happy while their owner is away. Above all, I treat every dog like family, providing plenty of affection, regular updates, and ensuring they feel at ease in my care. Pet parents can have peace of mind knowing their furry friends are in responsible and loving hands! I have hands-on experience with senior dogs and understand the extra care they require, whether it’s administering medication, assisting with mobility, or providing a calm and comfortable environment. I’m also comfortable with high-energy dogs and can tailor my care to their needs, whether that’s engaging playtime, long walks, or reinforcing positive behavior. I work remotely so I am flexible and available to play with any pup - I live close to multiple dog parks and have a lake that I can take dogs on walks for One friendly dog in my apartment that loves to play and nap. He is socialized and loves to be with other dogs. Open to taking both to the park for socialization or just a solo trip with your pup.

Rachel did an amazing job taking care of my 2 kitties. One is quite shy so she gave me updates on his whereabouts, while the other is extremely friendly and I got loads of cute photo updates on him. Appreciate her taking this request last minute! Would absolutely book again! Thanks!!!

Sarah’s amazing! My dog Jack was immediately obsessed with her (he likes everyone but LOVED Sarah). Sarah’s extremely easy to work with, super kind, communicative and knows animals extremely well. Jack has animal reactivity and she was extremely well-versed in this and equipped on how to handle that. Separately, she even deep cleans!!! I don’t know a better combo than someone who’s a dog whisperer and enjoys deep cleaning, but I’m really grateful to have met Sarah

Lydia was absolutely amazing with our cats. She kept them on their typical schedule and spent extra time giving them lots of treats and pets. When we got home after 5 days we were greeted only with mild curiosity and amusement from our kitties - a testament to the care Lydia took to keep them comfy during our absence.

Yen did an absolutely incredible job looking after our cat while we were away on vacation. Her daily updates were a pleasure to receive, with cute kitty pictures and helpful status updates. I got the impression upon returning that our cat was very well taken care of, and, as a bonus, there was no litter mess for us to clean up. Yen will definitely be our first call for any future kitty care needs while we’re out of town!

Another amazing experience with Kathy! She always arrives right on time and provides such detailed, attentive care. We especially love the updates and the beautiful pictures she sends, they really give us peace of mind while we’re away. Most importantly, our cat absolutely loves her, which says everything. It’s clear she truly cares. We’re so grateful to have someone we can trust like Kathy!

Kaiya was great! She cleaned up after some unexpected accidents with our senior pup and kept us up to date on all things pups while we were out of town. She let me know if she was running late or needed to adjust the time of the drop in and sent pics of the pups so we knew they were doing well. Definitely recommend her! Thanks Kaiya!

Ayanna was the perfect pick for my boy’s first Rover! She provided many excellent photos and videos with each visit along with details on his mood, energy level, what he was up to, etc. She was super friendly, easy going, and just as chill as my old man. Highly recommend her stellar sitting services!

Meli, was super responsive and flexible. We enjoyed meeting her for a quick walk through before our trip. Our cat is typically a scaredy cat and runs away from strangers, but she was curious and open to meet Meli. I think her calming presence put her at ease. We have a regular sitter but she wasn’t available and we had to scramble last minute. Meli was a great surprise. Would book again if needed.
