“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Rithy! She is timely, communicative and treats your pet like they’re her own. This was my first time using Rover and I feel lucky to have found Rithy. She stayed with Clover for the weekend, texted me photos of their adventures, and she made homemade food for Clover! I think they both had a great weekend together.”

About: I have been around pets since a baby, I love all animals and am patient and loving. I recently took care of two litters of puppies in Mexico and have been assisting my local town there with vaccinating and spaying pups I am currently unemployed and would love the chance to take care of a furry friend! I have a car and am happy to take care of and hangout with a new friend I can bring a crate if necessary, I have experience walking pups on leashes and feel comfortable with that. I have been training pups recently and am happy to work with yours!

“Susan did a wonderful job taking care of our dogs and cats for the weekend. They were well cared for and well loved, as her adorable pictures showed. She was extremely trustworthy, a great communicator and went above and beyond caring for the animals and our house. We are so lucky to have found her and can’t wait to have her come again!”

“Chiara was absolutely awesome! She exceeded my expectations and took such good care of ember and bjoern! She took the dog on a lot of fun adventures and was able to administer the cat’s medicine, which isn’t the easiest! She sent multiple updates daily which is so appreciated. She also left the house in great condition. Will definitely hire again!”

About: Animal caretaker at horse ranches, farms, and house pets with a lifetime of experience. Horse mom and dog mom to a very sweet 9 yr old Rottie-Shepard named Leif. Self-employed, so I spend all my time with my own pup. He loves playing with other dogs, so we want to host some furry friends! We live on 1/2 acre with a deck for napping on and a nice yard full of sticks and tennis balls. Several big dog beds. Right next to walking trail. Potty breaks can be on leash, on tie out, or off leash with supervision depending on owner preference. Have medium and XL crates available for use, but bring what makes your dog comfortable. All good dogs with parent permission that are allowed car rides may get dog park trips, easy hikes, or beach days depending on our schedule and the weather. Puppies and senior dogs welcome. I understand complex feeding schedules and medication and am happy to stick to your routine. Photo and video updates daily. Your dog will be tired and happy when you get home! I’m a self-employed, part-time remote work from home weekday mornings and local gigging musician on weekends, gone for around to 3-4 hours. Wifi camera set up with access on my phone, with microphone and speaker. My yard is mostly fenced, except for the front of the driveway. I live on the back part of 1/2 acre that is fenced. Dogs will be supervised for potty breaks, on leash or off depending on owner preference and behavior. Can also supervise on tie out for potty-shy dogs. Play on the yard and between dogs is supervised with walks on bike trail and adventures to nearby parks when allowed.

Your pet's safety and your peace of mind are my top priorities! I maintain a respectful distance until rapport has been established. I take lots of pictures!

About: I’ve had pets all of my life and my friends entrust me to take of their fur babies on a regular basis. I love animals more than humans a lot of the time.

I will care for your babies as if they were my own! And follow all of your instructions and make sure everything is done exactly as you want it.

About: Hello! My name is Lyanne and I have been in the bay area for 7 years. I am currently developing ocean literacy curriculum for National Geographic with a flexible schedule which allows for me to be available as needed for your pet care needs. Attention to detail and communication skills are very important to me. I have always been an animal lover and have grown up with dogs my entire life. I have extensive experience with senior dogs, administering medication, and I understand the patience it takes to work with fearful/timid dogs. While caring for your dog I will send updates via text messages with pictures to ease your mind and let you know that your pet is in the best care possible. I have cat sat for the past 3 years through word of mouth and love creating deep bonds with the animals I care for. Long walks or fun play, keeping their schedules regular is my goal. If you are looking for someone who is trust worthy, caring and responsible then look no further. Please contact me today for your petsitting needs. You will not be disappointed! I will tend to your pet throughout the day since this is my time off and I would not be working. This means, early morning wake up, 30 minutes to an hour walk, 30 minute rest, feeding, followed by relaxation and play until noon. At around noon, another walk (30 minute) and/or play or relaxing depending on energy level of the dog and finally evening, another walk and/or play. If you have a yard, there would be intermittent outdoor time throughout the day, especially as some dogs love to sunbathe, smell flowers, or chase lizards. Basically, I will tend to their needs and make them feel as comfortable as they could be without their owners around. I can take your pet on walks 2-3 times a day (less or more if you would like) and tend to their needs. Since I will be doing this during my time off, I will mostly be home with the dogs (at most 2-3 hours away total doing groceries or going to gym). I can crate your dog if needed, but they will mostly be with me. If there are parks around, I will gladly take them there.

About: I’ll treat you, your pet(s), and your space with the same respect I would want my pets and space treated. I’ve been helping family and friends with pet care for over 20 years with some uncertified training where needed (mostly leash control and recall with excited doggos). I’m currently between jobs, and my schedule is wide open. I’m available for same day bookings, and happy to schedule things out for recurring service if that’s a good fit. I will treat your home with the same respect that I would want my home treated with. I will follow the instructions that are given without improvising.

About: I’ve been walking my own dogs and taking care of them of over 10 years and I’ve been doing these types of apps for around a year I’m super flexible and free pretty much anytime—my schedule’s wide open right now, so I can hop on walks, drop-ins, boarding, or playtime whenever your pup needs it! Hey, I’ve got a big fenced yard—tons of space for safe play and running around. My one friendly dog loves company, and I can crate if needed.

“Lara was a great dog sitter. I hired her while I took a long weekend trip. She walked my dog Magnet multiple times per day and even took her to the dog park. She left my house in great shape and I would definitely use her again. Thanks Lara!”
