“Lee is the absolute best! Firstly she is so communicative and responsive, she makes all of the logistics so easy. Our dog is very anxious and typically very apprehensive of new environments, people and dogs - he can’t just be left with just any dog sitter - and Lee was so understanding of him and made him feel right at home. She truly understands small dogs!!”


“This is the second time our senior pup stayed with Renae for the day and he had another wonderful time! Renae is very responsive when booking, and she shared that our dog was settling in well shortly after he arrived. We’ll definitely rebook in the future.”


“Excellent care ! Chad is very friendly and knowledgeable. He has a big house with a huge backyard. When I arrived for pick up, my dog was sleeping on the couch. Comfortable and safe. Thank you.”


“Kelly took such wonderful care of our pup!! At 4 months old, Moose needs a LOT of play and attention (our training seems to go out the window when he's in a new place), but Kelly did an amazing job keeping him happy, loved, and up to speed with his commands. We could tell from the second we dropped him off that she knew exactly how to handle his puppy energy, and she sent us pictures and updates throughout the day to let us know how things were going. She even sent him home with his favorite snacks!! We will definitely rebook with Kelly in the future :)”


“Amann was easygoing and willing to take in another dog at the last minute and adjust the schedule, which I greatly appreciate. Avon can be timid, and she felt very comfortable with Amann, confirming that he was a great sitter. Thank you again, Amann!”



“Bernie had such a lovely time with the crew! Kim and Jeff were so lovely, patient, and kind to him. We received plenty of photo and text updates throughout the day, which made us feel so confident about leaving our fur baby with separation anxiety in their care. Highly recommend ?”


About: I've had dogs and pets in some capacity or another throughout my life and have loved being Sister-2-Legs to each of my four-legged siblings. I have cared for a variety of animals from young to old, mostly cats and dogs, a bird, and a few rabbits. More recently, it's been a mix of senior dogs and puppies. I'm used to balancing puppy training versus the possible complex needs of senior dogs. My own sweet spaniel passed last year, and he lost both his sight and his hearing as he aged, which presented a few challenges but was a very valuable learning experience. I'm comfortable with all ages and stages of life and love spoiling every single furred family member I care for. I adapt my schedule around your pet's needs and routines. Please message me for schedule details. I may be able to offer drop-ins, walks, or daycare either in your home or at my doggy daycare outside of the time slots listed. Daycare: My yard is fully fenced with a grass area for all kinds of running and toy play time. Everyone is welcome to sprawl out on the furniture both indoors and outside. Your dog is given as much attention and love as if they were my own. I look forward to welcoming new furry friends! Housesitting: My preference for my animals has always been to keep them in their home environment where they feel the most safe and secure. I will follow all their daily routines and any other directions provided and treat their space as if it were my own. Depending on your preference, hikes, beach trips, and other special activities can be added to the daily standards of belly rubs, walkies, and cuddles. As I also have a doggy daycare, it would be great if your pets are dog-friendly and able to participate in daycare during our stay!

“MaryCatherine is AMAZING! This was my first time taking my dog a sitter so I was bit nervous, but once Buddy got there I knew he would be in great hands. She shared videos through the day to share how his day was going (which also gave me comfort). I would HIGHLY recommend her.”


About: As a dedicated and experienced pet sitter, I am passionate about providing the best care possible for all types of pups. As a specialized pet sitter for bully breeds and small dogs, I understand the unique needs and quirks of these adorable dogs. With years of experience and a deep love for all things pup, I am committed to providing the highest level of care and attention to your furry friend. Everything from numerous short walks and playtime (temperature permitting) to feeding and medication administration, you can trust me to provide reliable and compassionate care for your dog. I am dedicated to ensuring your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you're away. My home has ramps to access all furniture and gates to prevent pups from running up and down stairs to protect their spines and potential IVDD flare ups. Our morning starts off with a walk around the neighborhood, then it’s breakfast time which means training and play with positive reinforcement! Your pup then has playtime with toys and with my dog Penelope if they are up for it or can snooze away. We then take a quick walk during lunch to stretch our legs and say hi to our friends at Rocky’s. After work we love to be in nature and hit the trails or parks to get some steps in! After dinner I love nothing more than to cuddle with the pups on my couch before bed! We have an outdoor deck that the dogs always have access to. Mostly serves as a sunbathing lounge 😎. The deck is also equipped with grass patches for easy potty breaks. Your pup with have the company of my dog, Penelope. She is a playful and well behaved French bulldog. I have a robust routine for her to keep her healthy and prevent her from being affected from her predisposed IVDD. I can easily incorporate any special needs or request that your day may need.


“What a treat for my dog Luna! Such an amazing property for the dogs to hang out. Mara is a sweet friend for Luna. Jeff and his wife were super responsive and kind. Best rover experience yet!”


“Gabe and his wife Darra were so good with our dog Wesley (golden retriever). I loved the amount of update pics we got and how attentive they were. Would definitely recommend and book again!”


“Sydney was very happy with Kit. She has two friendly dogs and a beautiful home with tons of outdoor space perfectly suited for sunbathing and sniffing. Will definitely bring my pup back for a repeat visit!”


About: As a Registered Nurse with 28 years of caregiving experience, I bring a calm, attentive, and compassionate approach to pet care. I personally cared for my own beloved dog for 20 years — through every life stage — including administering medications, managing special diets, and providing gentle senior care. I’m especially comfortable with: • Senior dogs and pets with special needs • Giving oral medications and supplements • Monitoring for health or behavior changes • Maintaining consistent routines • Offering lots of love, patience, and walks! My nursing background means I’m highly observant, dependable, and focused on safety and comfort. What sets me apart is that I truly understand pets are family — and I care for them with the same heart and attention I gave to my own. My husband calls me the dog whisperer! I work from home full-time, so your pup will have plenty of attention throughout the day. My home features a fully fenced, dog-friendly backyard with a doggie door leading from the deck to the yard — perfect for safe outdoor access. I live on a quiet, flat cul-de-sac in the Oakland Hills, ideal for peaceful walks. I also enjoy visiting nearby parks and hiking trails, many within walking distance, for fresh air and exercise with furry friends I have a fenced backyard dog and currently I do not have any dogs or pets of my own for the time being. I live in a safe, quiet and peaceful area. I do not require dogs to be crated.

About: 10 years of experience taking care of my dogs, I have two senior small dogs, a big back yard. Your dog gonna feel like they're home. We are a family of three and I'm a stay home mom, I only leave home to take and pick up our daughter to/fromschool. Your babies will have plenty of attention. I have a fenced backyard, my dogs are used to staying with other dogs, and I could provide a crate if your dog needs one.

About: Dog parent who loves caring for all kinds of animals! I have one medium sized dog and one small dog, both of whom can give your pet that extra company they need if they would like a playmate! I love to keep active so walking or running and playing with your dog will be no problem. My own dogs require an abundance of attention and patience, so I’m skilled in belly rubs, fetch, tag, and overall keeping pets entertained throughout the day. I am looking forward to being your pet’s new best friend and all around entertainment while you are away. And of course I will provide you with updates to assure you that your pet is in good and caring hands so you’ll have no worries! I work remotely so your dog will never be left alone and I am able to provide them with an abundance of attention throughout the day. Pets will have free roaming of backyard and house as well as going on walks around the neighborhood. I can also provide crating if that makes your dog feel more comfortable and if they’re not friendly with dogs, there’s a separate, well-ventilated finished basement we can hangout in so they can be away from my dogs. Whatever needs your pets may have, I can be sure to accommodate!

About: I'm a very responsible middle-aged woman who works from home and would be happy to care for your fur baby. Eventually I'll get a dog of my own! Our household consists of me and my partner, Rocky. We both grew up with pets, but currently don't have any. I work about 15-25 hours a week from home so I have plenty of time throughout the day for walks around the neighborhood and trips to the Alameda dog park. My partner and I are homebodies and enjoy spending time working on our house and gardening. I have a fenced in yard and several rooms of my house can be sectioned off to allow for large spaces to hang out, if the dog needs it's own space. I also have plenty of room to set up a crate. I do not have any pets. I would love to get a dog, but I travel to Vancouver 4 times a year to visit my mom in long term care and occasionally I have to travel for a week or more for work and I don't want to leave a pet for that long. My partner goes to the office Monday - Friday.

About: I’ve been training my dog since I adopted her a month ago and we are doing very well! Working on recall and finishing up crate training, soon we will be taking a class at the spca. I also care for my housemate’s cat when he is away. I go on a lot of walks with my dog and would love to help walking yours! I really enjoy walking and spending time with pets and I am usually pretty open every day. I work remote and have a pretty flexible schedule so I’m able to accommodate whatever works best for you. I am happy to follow any and all guidelines you have for your pets at home and during walks. Just let me know and I will comply!

“Liz was great at communicating before and during Pocket's stay. Pocket seemed happy and relaxed after her stay, and Liz even managed to get her to eat during her first stay with her, which is pretty unusual!”

Korin M.
“Korin is a wonderful pet sitter. She has been helping with our cat and chickens for the last 3+ years. We trust Korin with the care of our pets when we leave out of town for both short and long trips. She's able to come to our house, feed, and spend quality time with our cat, as well as make sure the chickens are doing okay and ensure they get food and fresh water. I highly recommend Korin to care for furry and feathery family members.”

Daniela O.
“We can’t recommend Daniela enough. Our dog Sasha is sweet but a little sensitive—she gets anxious around other dogs, is picky with food, and can get overly excited when meeting new people. So we’ve always been really cautious about who we leave her with. Finding Daniela was such a relief. She only watches one dog at a time, which is exactly what Sasha needs. No crowded homes or chaotic pack dynamics—just calm, focused attention. Daniela lives in the Oakland Hills and takes Sasha on long walks at the regional parks nearby, and even brings her along on peaceful weekend trips to Tahoe. Honestly, Sasha goes on vacation when we can’t take her with us! Daniela’s also a nurse, and you can tell she brings that level of care to how she looks after dogs. She keeps us updated with texts and pictures, and even gives us little health and care tips when we pick Sasha up. We never feel out of the loop, and we always know Sasha is in safe, loving hands. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your dog like family, especially if your pup has quirks or needs a bit of extra TLC, Daniela is the one. Lidia. ( Sasha’s mom)”

Angelique C.

“Angelique is the best pet sitter I’ve had. I’m so grateful to have found her! She is extremely patient, and really goes the extra mile to make sure my dog has everything he needs and is taken care of. Angelique is very friendly and professional and I can tell she truly has a passion for what she does!”


Shannon & Rocky D.
“My partner and I were away for two weeks, and leaving our 1-year-old puppy behind for the first time was nervewracking. From the moment we dropped him off, Shannon went above and beyond with her thoughtful care. She welcomed Sonny into her home, kept us updated with regular photos, and made sure he got plenty of playtime in her backyard and at the dog park. When he unexpectedly injured his paw at the dog park (a toenail snag), Shannon contacted our vet, took him in for treatment, and lovingly cared for him while he wore a cast and cone. We were blown away by her attentiveness, compassion, and proactive care. Knowing our pup was in her hands gave us total peace of mind. Shannon is truly exceptional. She's trustworthy, communicative, and full of heart. We couldn’t imagine a better person to care for our fur-baby, and anyone would be lucky to have her look after theirs!!!”


Scarlet C.
“Scarlet is a wonderful person with dogs and extremely good at helping watch dogs. I highly recommend Scarlet, I personally have trusted my dog and home to her and I have come to a clean dog and home.”
