“If you're anything like me, the guilt of being away at work all day weighs on me, but knowing that instead, my fur-baby is now getting tons of attention, pets, walks, and love puts my mind at ease. Getting cuddles from Van Joseph and Matthew, the company of their sweet little dogs, and soft blankets to sleep in is priceless! I got so many precious photos which brightened my day! Overjoyed to have found Van Joseph and Matthew to care for my sweet girl Petunia!!”
“Thanks Sophie for taking good care of our dog Hobbes! We had Sophie watch Hobbes while we attended a concert in Berkeley. We had drinks at a spot in Oakland beforehand and her place was a quick stop on the way to the venue. Hobbes seemed to have a blast playing while there. She shared some photos which was a nice touch. We will gladly reach out again if we need pet sitting in the area.”
About: I grew up with three German Shepherds (Amber, Molly and Sassy) and one Labrador (Hector) in our family. I'm a confident and caring dog owner / dog sitter and have enough experience with my own dogs and looking after other peoples' dogs, to know if a dog would be a good fit in the local environments that we live, walk, play and sleep in. My work is project based and if I'm not away I'm working from home. My wife works from home on Thursday and Friday as well and we have a 2.5 year old German Shepherd / Chow (/probably a few other breeds) mix, called Millie, who loves people, other dogs, chasing squirrels and barking at skateboarders. Millie has a lot of energy and goes for sniff walks and walk walks at least three times a day. She's very good at communicating when she needs to go to the bathroom and gets plenty of outdoor time throughout the day in between naps. On days when I'm available I have the time to give dogs the love and attention they need or want. To watch them when they play together, to play with them, walk them, give them plenty of time for sniffs, relaxing, sleeping and to make sure they feel comfortable, safe and content. And of course, to keep you updated with photos and messages about how their day or night is going.
“I think my girl Maze had a great day at the doggie lounge. Latricia was wonderful to work with and she has everything figured out - helping Maze get settled in, making friends with another dog, feeding time. Loved the picture updates too. Thanks!! :)”
“Josie was great! She responded promptly to my request for an all-day sitter for my newly adopted dog. I was anxious leaving my dog, Kahlo in the care of someone new but Josie made me feel comfortable immediately. She sent pictures and updates of a very happy dog. Kahlo even ate all her food and she tends to be a picky eater. I would happily let Kahlo stay with Josie again. It was a super positive experience. Thanks again Josie!”
“Taylor is fantastic. I was in town for work with my wee guy and she took care of him during the times I couldn't have him with me. Rowlf and Taylor made a fast friends. They played and walked and cuddled, she took tons of pics and kept me up to date about their time together, and really supported me while I was working. I'm so grateful I found her. Taylor is super friendly, thorough, and loving. It can be so hard for all of us to trust the care of our babies to a stranger. You can't go wrong here!”
About: Growing up in a family that always had dogs, I’ve spent over seven years caring for pets of all ages and personalities. I raised my own corgi from puppyhood, which gave me a solid foundation in training, grooming, and understanding canine behavior. Over time, I’ve also cared for senior dogs who required medication, gentle exercise, and extra patience, as well as energetic puppies who needed structured play and consistent guidance. Clients often describe me as reliable, communicative, and attentive to every pet’s comfort. I regularly provide updates with photos and videos to help owners feel connected while they’re away. I’m also experienced with multi-pet households, including both dogs and cats, and I take pride in maintaining a calm and caring environment for all animals under my care. As a remote work with a flexible schedule, I'm available consistently on weekends and most weekday afternoons. I carefully plan my pet care commitments around my classes to ensure dedicated, unrushed time with each pet. I can provide morning walks, midday check-ins, and extended playtime sessions, always prioritizing the pets' routines and needs. I prioritize creating a safe and comfortable environment for every pet in my care. When visiting clients' homes, I follow their specific care instructions meticulously and maintain regular updates through photos and messages. I ensure all doors are secured, maintain a clean environment, and keep pets on their regular feeding and exercise schedules. I also have pet first-aid knowledge for added peace of mind.
“I really appreciated the quick and clear communication, including specific care Jakree gave our dog while he was with him for the day. He sent photos throughout the day which was comforting to see. He has a dog friendly backyard where my dog had fun playing with the other dogs in his care. I will definitely reach out to Jakree again.”
“Nasreddine is such an amazing dog sitter, I can’t recommend her enough! From working with our schedule to sending us updates on Kay she was on it and fantastic! Highly recommend her to anyone’s pups!!”
“We had a great first daycare with Nikolai! He is very responsive and easy to coordinate with. It was nice to know Jax was having a fun day with other dogs and nice people. Excited to go back again!!”
About: With over 8 years of hands-on pet sitting experience, I’ve cared for a wide range of small dogs and cats, each with their own personalities and routines.

My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and happy Currently a college student looking to fill my time caring for fur babies! Available weekends for your quick get aways, know that you can relax while your loved one is being cared for! Extremely secure complex with 4 minute walking distance from Lake Merritt.

“We have a really shy/sensitive mini-Aussie doodle who’s nervous around new people. Anchisa and her partner Michael were so so kind to let us visit with them before booking to “test the waters”. We were so genuinely surprised at how quickly our pup settled in! We’ve already booked for a second sitting session! Thanks so much ❤️”
“Luna loooooves Nancy. She gets all wiggly and smuley as soon as she figures out shes spending the day with Nancy. Luna always come home tired and happy. We all love Nancy aroud here.”
About: My open schedule and minimal amount of personal responsibilities highly complements my ability to provide above and beyond service for a you and your pets, combined with my history and experience with animals through the course of my life. I have and do go to great lengths to ensure top tier care and quality time for my pets and yours alike. Your pet(s)/furry babies will definitely enjoy their stay here and think they are at their second home or on vacation. A bonus is that I have a strong bond with my sister who is a dog trainer and dog sitter in east Bay Area that has been employed at local vets for a handful of years. My roommate Damien and I have both shared residencies for a handful of years and he loves all as much as I do! Extra loves and good vibes! Every pet that books here will be given frequent and genuine attention, full of warmth that feels catered to them! I am currently open 24/7 for boarding in my home with no restrictions on my ability to provide quality care and supervision for your pets when desired. :) I am a great listener and follow instructions precisely as given when it comes to caring for your pets and my own. I am very flexible and lenient for preferences regarding your pet’s stay. I am a licensed driver with no traffic violations whatsoever and always prioritize safety and awareness while transporting myself or any others (pets included) within my personal vehicle.
“Athena is great! Rockee is always excited to see her in the morning, and I appreciate her flexibility with my work schedule and open communication. She’s also been helping with Rockee’s reactivity and I’ve noticed a calmer demeanor when he’s around other dogs. Thank you Athena!”
About: I’ve always believed dogs are little gifts wrapped in fur and wiggles. I spent 12 amazing years with my husky, who taught me all about loyalty, joy, and the art of a good zoomie. I bring that same love and fun energy to every pup I care for! I’m usually available in the evenings as I work an office job on site and sometimes from home. I’m available only during the day on weekends. I’m in my home or yours, I make sure pets feel safe, relaxed, and entertained—long walks, or a couple of short ones for older dogs. Lots of snuggles included.
McClymonds dog parents share their Rover experiences
Jeremy was amazing and was able to take in Francisco lat minute. We also got photos of Francisco throughout the day, which was much appreciated by someone who’s never left their puppy in the hands of another before. Jeremy was very kind and took the time to talk to me about how everything works in general. We will definitely be leaving Francisco with Jeremy again.
Josie was great! She responded promptly to my request for an all-day sitter for my newly adopted dog. I was anxious leaving my dog, Kahlo in the care of someone new but Josie made me feel comfortable immediately. She sent pictures and updates of a very happy dog. Kahlo even ate all her food and she tends to be a picky eater. I would happily let Kahlo stay with Josie again. It was a super positive experience. Thanks again Josie!
Rachel was a great dog sitter for our active and energetic pittie mix. She was super flexible, communicative and just overall a really awesome person who you could tell really loves animals/dogs. 10/10 would recommend Rachel and will definitely be booking with her for future services.
Tony and Elizabeth did a great job making Lionel feel at home. He appeared very comfortable with them and with Cookie and Miles as well, even though he can get nervous around bigger dogs. They took him to the dog park and provided plenty of pictures and updates of his stay. Would not hesitate to book again!
Alejandra was a great sitter for Vermilion! He is an excited puppy full of energy and it looked like he had a great time! Alejandra took pictures and when V wasn’t playing with toys and Nemo, he was following Alejandra around. He was a happy pup when I came to pick him up. I’m going to book with Alejandra again in the future!
Alexandra was a lifesaver! She was able to watch my two dogs last minute while I went out to dinner with my family, and I couldn’t be more grateful. Since I don’t live in Alameda, it was really important for me to find someone I felt completely comfortable with—and Alexandra exceeded all expectations. My girls came back happy and content, which tells me they received all the love and attention they deserve. Alexandra is super friendly, kind, and genuinely a good person. I only wish I had someone like her where I live. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone!
Teena was absolutely wonderful with our dog, Thomas. From the start, she was prompt, professional, and communicated clearly, which made the whole experience stress-free. She took Thomas on multiple walks and sent a detailed report about his day, which we really appreciated. Her dog, Adobe, is incredibly well-mannered and was such a positive influence. It was great for Thomas to have that socialization with such a calm, well-behaved dog. You can tell Teena genuinely cares about the dogs she watches. Thomas was happy, well-exercised, and clearly comfortable in her care. I would absolutely recommend Teena to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and caring dog sitter.
Nasreddine and her bf were friendly and efficient with the drop off and return! Both dogs only stayed a couple hours but seemed to enjoy their time with their hosts! Above all, Nasreddine was SO understanding, flexible, and accommodating. My dogs escaped that morning and it was a flurry of whether I needed to cancel or not. Luckily, they came back after their little adventure and Nasreddine was happy to watch them even after all the chaos. Thank yooou!!
