About: Hello! I’m Alicia and I am starting out as a Rover sitter! Lifelong dog lover with years of experience caring for puppies, seniors, and everything in between. I treat every dog like family—yours will be in great hands! I work part-time from home with a flexible schedule, so I’m available throughout the day to give your dog plenty of attention, care, and love. Your dog’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. I provide a calm, secure, and welcoming environment where they’ll feel right at home. I have two friendly dogs of my own and also care for my housemate’s dog and cat, so I’m experienced in managing multiple pets with different needs and personalities. You can trust that your pup will be treated with love, respect, and constant supervision while in my care.

About: I have experience caring for furry dog friends. I'm comfortable with walking, feeding, giving medication, and providing attention and playtime. Whether your dog is energetic or laid-back, I make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. Hi, my name is G'la! I'm excited to meet new pets and provide them with loving, reliable care. I work a hybrid schedule, which gives me the flexibility to offer consistent attention and companionship throughout the day. Whether it’s a midday walk, playtime, or just keeping a furry friend company, I truly enjoy making pets a natural and joyful part of my daily routine. I adjust my care based on each pet’s routine and personality. In a client’s home, I follow their instructions closely to keep pets comfortable in their familiar space—feeding, walks, playtime, litter box or yard clean-up, medication, and plenty of companionship. I also make sure the home stays clean, safe, and secure. If I’m caring for pets in my own home, I create a calm, pet-friendly environment with plenty of space, enrichment, and supervision. I keep to their feeding and exercise schedule and give them lots of affection and attention to help them feel at ease while they're away from home.

About: I have over five years of experience caring for, playing with, and supporting all sizes of dogs. This includes adopting a puppy of my own. I am currently a co-parent to a four-year-old Chihuahua Terrier that I trained. Additionally, I have experience caring for senior dogs, sick dogs who need to visit the vet, and dogs with specific behavioral issues. I am a business consultant and a life coach working from home, which allows me to have a very flexible schedule. This flexibility makes it easy for me to take dogs on walks, hikes, and potty breaks. I enjoy spending time outdoors, soaking up the sunshine, and walking around the neighborhood. Having a dog by my side would add to the fun of these activities. I am very sensitive to people's homes and their dogs' routines. I follow instructions carefully and maintain a calm, centered space at home for the dog to feel confident and safe with me.

About: I’ve loved animals since childhood and have over 10 years of experience in pet care. I approach pets with both confidence and affection. I enjoy getting to know the unique personalities and helping them feel safe and loved. In addition to caring for other people’s pets I’ve had many of my own Including three cats and seven dogs ranging in age from six weeks to 14 years old. I’ve trained and walked dogs of all sizes from Chihuahuas to bull breeds in the neighborhoods and along nature trails. I’ve also taken dog training classes and have volunteered at the Oakland SPCA. I’ve trained puppies, and I’ve cared for older pets. I’m here to meet your pet’s care needs with compassion, reliability, and the experience they deserve. I’m looking for work. I can do in the afternoon and or evenings Monday through Friday and occasionally weekends. I am also available for late night check-in if you need it. I offer dog walking and dog/cat sitting.

About: Dogs have always been an important part of my life. I grew up with large and medium sized ranch dogs, and have taken care of small dogs growing up. I have experienced the full spectrum of canine care from puppies to end of life. Frequently I take care of dogs for family members as well and I love puppies! I have experience aiding in puppy training (not a certified professional but can help continue your home training), walking, feeding, bathing dogs and giving canine medication. I fully believe that dogs are meant to be outside and exercised as much as they are able for the best quality of life. From hikes, parks, walks around the block and cuddles, I’ll be there for your pup! I’m a graduate student therefore my availability for walks and drop ins, is strict to Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays. But flexible during the hours of those days. Some evenings can be arranged on Thursdays and Fridays on a case by case basis. I can only offer daytime boarding in my home on Tuesdays as that is when I have online classes. Currently have some flexibility before classes start. I do really well with instructions if you have any specific needs for your pup! I am willing to clean up after puppy messes as well during puppy drop ins. For pups staying with me, I have a large fenced in backyard for your pet to lounge in. It is mostly made of brick and synthetic grass so your pup with stay clean with me! There is also a large dog park located a 10 minute walk away from me.

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.

About: I have experience walking and watching dogs of all sizes :) I especially appreciate the energy of a young pup, must be leash trained if they are over 50lbs. Available 10am-3pm for dog visits/walks, cat visits, & cat sitting. Looking to make pet friends to visit & build relationships with dogs/cats who need TLC/Care/a buddy/Attention while you're out. I cannot care for dogs/cats/pets in my home currently. I do not have the space currently to allow for caring for additional pets. I hope to board in the future but I cannot now. Thanks for understanding.

About: Hey there! I'm Melissa, and I'm looking to keep your pets happy and healthy while you're away. I grew up raising childhood dogs from puppies to seniors, and am currently the owner of two rambunctious cats. I have never lived anywhere without animals and dont intend to! Being around animals is the highlight of my day, whether it's teaching them new tricks ( surprisingly, sometimes cats included), exploring the neighborhoods, or taking naps together. Looking forward to meeting you and your critters! I currently have a fairly flexible schedule which allows to me to adjust my daily availability to fit with where I am needed by families! It is important to have clear communication between me and my clients to fully understand the expectations of pet and house care / the responsibilities I am trusted with!

About: Free Meet & Greets! Animals have always been a huge part of my life. From growing up with dogs and cats to caring for senior pets and high energy puppies. I’m the kind of person who talks to animals like they’re family, and I treat each pet with the same love, patience, and attention I’d want for my own. What sets me apart? I pay close attention to a pet’s individual needs and energy. Whether your pup needs a long walk to burn energy, your cat prefers quiet companionship, or your senior dog needs slow, gentle care, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, loved, and understood. I’m comfortable administering medications, sticking to specific feeding or care routines, and keeping communication open with you so you feel at ease while you're away. I’m currently fully available and have a flexible schedule, which means I can easily work around your pet’s needs. Whether it’s early mornings, midday check-ins, or evening snuggles, I’ve got the time and energy to be there when you need me. Your pet will get consistent care and attention, every time. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and loving environment. I pay close attention to routines, feeding instructions, and any special needs to make sure your pet feels secure and comfortable. I keep spaces clean, remove any hazards, and never leave pets unsupervised in situations that could be unsafe (like off-leash unless fenced). In your home, I respect your space just as much as I respect your pet—I treat it with care and leave things just as I found them (or cleaner!). I know it takes trust to let someone care for your furry family, and I take that seriously. Clear communication and gentle, attentive care are what I bring every time.
