“Hollie is the best. She's thoughtful, attentive, and communicative. She truly went above and beyond when some big challenges arose during her stay -- and our dog was still so well cared for. Thank you Hollie!”
“Richard was excellent watching my dogs overnight at my place for two nights. He was very loving and patient with my anxious pupper and by the end they were getting along great. Richard was also a very respectful house guest and left the place better than he found it. Highly recommend!”
“Belinda was such an incredible dog sitter for our pup! Not only did Belinda come through last minute for a 2 week house stay when our pup got ill right before our big trip, but she also took great care of our house. Belinda knew we were anxious leaving our pup for such a long period of time and sent pictures and updates throughout the day. She was a great communicator and would answer immediately whenever she could. She also took our high-energy dog for long walks and followed all of our dog and house care instructions to a T. We couldn't recommend Belinda highly enough, and we will definitely be using her services again in the future!”
“Angela was amazing! She offered to do a meet and greet before sitting, which was perfect for my dog who is a little wary of new people. I also got plenty of updates and pictures. And I was able to enjoy my time away worry free because she was in such good hands.”
“Adela is fantastic! Adela follows all my instructions and cares for my dog (Bowie) as if he was her own. Adela stays overnight at my home and she is super respectful, clean and kind. Highly recommend!”
“Christina is the BEST!! We have had her house / pet sit for us numerous times and she is always so awesome about sending pictures and keeping an open line of communication. She has truly been a life saver and we greatly appreciate her services!”
“Josie was great, spent 5 days taking care of our home and our two pups. Gave regular updates, and left the house immaculate. Thanks Josie! Hope to have you help us again in the future!”
“Matt is always great with our dog, Elliott. He was very responsible with Elliott's medication schedule and attentive to his emotional needs. I'll be re-booking Matt for our next trip as well. Thank you, Matt!”
“Matthew was able to watch Charlie last minute and was great to work with. Matthew kept me updated, sent pictures, and Charlie seemed very happy and well cared for. Will definitely book again!”
“We were so happy with Kendra! Took such great care of our two dogs. We have a Aussie puppy and he did so great with her. It was so nice to go away and not have to worry about our house or pets. Great communication as well. Couldnt be happier!”
About: I would love to care for your pet and provide them as much walks, runs, or scritches. I have taken care of cats and my rambunctious dog Kona as well as several rover friends when I was in college. I am prepared for all sorts of personalities and super excited to help out. I work from home most days so am happy to go on many walks and feed them on whatever schedule that they are accustomed to. We live near parks so the neighborhood is a convenient area to walk around. Our household has no pets and I only want to care for one pet at a time, so the home will be private and they will have our undivided attention. I live in the temescal Piedmont area and would love to take your pet out on frequent walks.
“Nicky was great! Our pups were exhausted after spending the day with her from so much attention and love. She kept me updated and sent great photos. We can’t wait to have her back!”
About: My pet care experience includes looking after cats, dogs, fish, and hamsters. I'm happy to maintain litter boxes, take dogs on long walks and play fetch, spend time with cats, administer pills and medications to any animal (even if they are not excited about it), and provide pets and scritches whenever needed I'm currently working 8-4:30 with open availability every early morning, evening, and weekend from now until June 6! During the summers, my availability will be completely open! I am experienced caring for pets in other people's homes, but unfortunately not in my own because I have two rescued cats of my own. I love taking dogs on walks, feeding and spending time with cats, and looking after all types of animals in your home!
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.
“We just tried rover for the first time and Shareese was lovely. We did a meet and greet prior to the stay. We were happy with her communication and felt our girls were well cared for and loved on while we were away. We have already re booked with her and feel lucky to have found her!”
“Iris did an incredible job caring for my babies! She is a great communicator, is very caring towards me and my cats and took great care of my home! I have already booked my next house sit with Iris :)”
About: I’ve taken care of of dogs since I was about 7, I’ve owned two as a child growing up. As an adult I spent most of my years as a single soldier as a mechanic and many of my coworkers need it sitters for a variety of dogs that I was always happy to assist with. Currently I’m a full time student working on my degree in audio design. I typically have classes twice a week with one online. On the weekends I dj Saturday nights 9-1am. I’m a very active person I run 2 miles to the gym at 6am 5 times a week and walk back after my workout. I’m a 16 year military veteran and have a lot of past experience with helping raise, walk and watch a variety of different animals while I was single and on active duty so now that I have more time on my hands it would be a great way to stay active throughout the week! I typically don’t keep animals at my home, but in other people’s home I always like to be introduced to the pet by the owner and have a very in depth overview of the things their animals absolutely do not like. After that I really like to know the owners worries and what things they need in terms of communication to keep them comfortable. As for the interaction I definitely want to be slow with the pet has any sort of anxiety but I love to give them lots of attention weather that’s to play with them talk to them or let them get comfortable by sitting on my lap or holding them.
“Trustworthy sitter that was super flexible with our schedule and attentive to our pup’s needs! House was spotless and dog was happy upon our arrival home. Will definitely plan to invite again!”
“Qishu was great with my dog! She has a hard time warming up to new people and Qishu was very patient with her and gave her lots of extra TLC. I got lots of pics and updates so I knew she was in good hands. Would definitely recommend and book again!”

Our dog, Enzo, decided to give Robert some attitude and behaved differently than usual during their time together. Thankfully, Robert handled things very well and was able to manage the situation. He was also very accommodating and flexible with our unique timing and apartment building setup. We are so thankful for his time and care!
Victoria apartment-sat with Snowy for three days and was absolutely on top of everything from walks to treats to cuddle time. Provided a lot of comfort and confidence that my 3yr old corgi would be well taken care of. Look forward to her and Snowy hanging out again.
Shareese was a huge help with our elderly dog while we were away. Our dog was having a hard time with age-related changes and Shareese provided such calm and compassionate care. She was patient in all our communication and helped us figure out how to keep our dog feeling comfortable. We are so grateful to have found her and for the peace of mind she gave us.
Laura was a great dog sitter to my dog and her best friend––two reactive pups! Laura was patient with their quirks and figured out their personalities quickly. Photo updates and texts during the day put at ease and also made us aware that Laura was taking the pups on great walks! In addition to watching the dogs, Laura housesat at my house and left the place in great condition. We will be returning to Laura for our care needs in the future, for sure! Highly recommend.
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.
Ida and Travis were amazing to work with! They sent tons of cute photos of my cats, were the best communicators, and even left my home cleaner than they found it. They were very attentive to learning about my cats' needs and managing challenges like my sticky front door key. I'd definitely use them again!
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.
Robyn came and took care of my older cat with an illness for 1 week. My cat, Nyx, requires medicine twice a day and lots of cuddle time which Robyn provided equally. It was the second booking ive made with Robyn. Again everything was great, and my cat was happy and healthy upon my return. Highly reccomend! Robyn a great! Thank you!!!!
Valerie was great! Rafa took to her immediately and really enjoyed her company and care. She provided plenty of pictures and updates throughout the day, which we really appreciated. She asked lots of questions demonstrating her attention to Rafa’s particular needs. We highly recommend Valerie!
Yena was great - I could tell my dogs felt safe with her right away in her first walk-through, and she was not daunted by an energetic pitbull and terrier duo. While we were away for 4 days, she stayed over, and gave great photo diaries of her time with the pups. She took thoughtful steps to reflect that she heard and executed my directions and details in the photos, so I knew the dogs were staying on their routines. She was diligent and did what she said she'd do. I would hire her again, for sure.
Dane took amazing care of our little Peanut and our house! He went above and beyond taking many pictures and giving us updates. He took Peanut on long walks and did training sessions with her — it was very clear she was having a blast. Dane also generously watered our plants and left our house cleaner than he found it! Would highly recommend Dane to anyone looking for a sitter and we look forward to booking with him again :)
