“Great communication and attention for our pup from Shanley, we appreciate having her drop by to give Gemmy some exercise and a break from home!”


“Hannah “JoJo” is such a bright, loving energy. She is so willing to work with any dog. I feel peace that she’s able to take my little buddy out for a walk daily. She is also really patient as my pup was nervous at first and has now opened up to her. She will work with any type of dog and make sure each and every one of them feels loved. Thanks for all the updates throughout the walks and being so communicative. Keep up the great work!”


About: I'm a nature lover and natural animal lover—especially doggies. Over the years, I’ve loved and cared for my my own pets: dogs, a rabbit and a cat. Currently, I help care for my aging mom’s little senior Shitzu: weekly walks at a nearby parks, vet care and lite grooming. Comfortable with harness attaching and removal. My own beloved dog passed away a couple of years ago, I still enjoy encounters with other dogs on my daily walks, giving ear rubs and back scratches—dogs just bring me joy. Currently, I’m retired, so my availability is flexible for you and your pet’s needs. I have experience caring for various breeds and size (small to medium size dogs), but I can handle larger senior dogs. I routinely walk at various designated parks and trails in the East Bay. When I pet-sit in my apartment, I inquire about pets regular routine first: walking, feeding, and medication (if necessary). I require they provide their pet’s own: bedding, sleepwear, food and treats and up to date vaccines. I also ask for emergency info: Vet, pet-owner (s), and an alternate contact. Finally, I will send regular updates via text, pictures or videos of your pets outings or stays—live if you like!

“Stephanie did a great job walking Daisy. She always showed up when she said she would. Daisy is looking forward to more walks with Stephanie.”


“Kaiya is an excellent communicator! Kaiya is responsible and I really appreciate the photos she sends of the walks. Rilo looks like she is having a great time.”


About: Friends and family say I have a sixth sense with dogs—able to understand their needs just by looking at them! Whether they crave outdoor adventures or a peaceful, cozy environment, I easily adapt to each pup’s unique personality. My own little nugget crossed the rainbow bridge in January 2025, after a life filled with snuggles, treats, and epic adventures. I now channel that same devotion into caring for your pet, aiming to become their second-favorite human while you're away. I currently work from home as a freelancer. My schedule is extremely flexible so I am able to go for walks during the day and provide boarding during the weekdays. At one time, I've cared for four dogs and a cat, of which included two large dogs. However, now that I am in a smaller space, I want to ensure that every pet feels safe and loved and plan to keep the group small. I have an enclosed back patio with lots of sunlight and also live right next to a park so your furry friend can enjoy outside adventures if they like to!

“Adam is fantastic and does a proper walk. My dogs were tired and looked forward to their walks with him. I'll definitely request his services again.”


About: I have taken care of dogs, cats, bunnies, etc. for my neighbors and friends since I was 10 years old. I have taken care of newborn animals and senior animals. I’m currently home for the summer, so I am fully free! I can pop by your house, go on walks, or keep your pet company at home. I will make sure that your pet feels comfortable with me in their home and spend time playing with them or simply keeping them company. I will also love to go on long walks with your dog if requested!

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: Hi! I’m a passionate animal lover with a Bull Terrier of my own, plus experience caring for Beagles, Dobermans, and Chihuahuas. I offer dog sitting, walking, and horse care with plenty of love and attention. Whether your pup needs a fun walk, some quality company while you’re away, or your horse needs grooming and care, I’m here to help. I treat every animal like family and can’t wait to meet your furry and hoofed friends! I only work three days a week so I have plenty of extra time to care for your pets while you’re away or tied up at work. I keep pets safe and comfy at your place, follow your instructions, and stay alert on walks. You’ll always get updates so you can relax and know they’re in good hands.

“Bailey did a wonderful job taking care of our girl Raya for the day and keeping us updated on each visit and walk. This was our first time using Rover to find a sitter and are so grateful that we found Bailey. Raya was certainly happy to have a new friend to go on walks with.”


About: I grew up with dogs and have cared for my own dogs as well as neighbors' dogs -- feeding, walking, playing, and loving them. I am also a cat lover. I have my own very sweet cat and I cat sit for friends often because I genuinely love them so much! I am currently working from home part time so I have plenty of flexibility in my schedule. I am happy to work with you to accommodate specific requests that fit your needs. I am a warm person who will care for your furry friends. If they're shy, I will win them over. If they're full of energy, I will play with them. I will always love them up!

About: I’ve owned and cared for dogs and cats my entire life. There have always been at least three animals in my household since the day I was born. In addition to growing up with pets, I’ve also provided pet care and nanny services for several years. I’m comfortable working with animals of all ages—from energetic puppies to senior pets—and pride myself on being attentive, loving, and reliable I’m not currently working full-time, so I am quite flexible on both week days and weekends to care for your fur baby for short and long term periods. I commit to fostering a peaceful and tranquil environment in your home, just as I would in my own. I understand the importance of creating a safe, respectful, and loving atmosphere where your pet feels comfortable, secure, and well cared for at all times

About: Hello! My name is Mary. I am a lifelong pet owner and animal enthusiast. I grew up on a horse farm with dogs, cats, horses, hamsters, and the odd rogue toad, so caring for animals with love and respect is literally second nature. I'm a somatic embodiment coach by trade, so I have a unique skill set for helping animals feel relaxed and comfortable in my care. I have joyously fostered 20+ dogs and cats in their transition to forever homes, and have extensive experience with house and pet sitting. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and breeds, from 6 pound little weasels to 80 pound gentle giants. I have a special place in my heart for seniors (and have experience caring for them.) I am comfortable and experienced with administering medication. Because I work from home online and over zoom, I can accommodate animals that need a shorter window of alone time. I'd be delighted to treat your fur family with all the love and care I would give my own. I look forward to hearing from you! I have my own online business, so my schedule is very fluid and flexible. I love walking dogs and can easily do day or evening walks and stop-bys. I have experience with staying in many different homes and I know that every animal has its own unique routines, needs and rituals that help it feel in flow. I'm very happy to work with your pet in the way they are used to.

“Zsa-zsa is phenomenal and did a great job caring for my old dog while I was out of town. She is communicative and kind and clearly has a way with the four-legged among us. She'll be our go-to-gal from here on out!”


“Celeste is the best! She’s extremely reliable and communicates well. I’m always reaching out to her last minute and she is always prompt with her response. Olive does so well with her ♥️. We’ll continue using her services when needed.”


“Thank you so much! Hope to see you again!”


“Zihir is super awesome and goes above and beyond to take care of my dog. I am very happy with dog walking and appreciate the flexibility and reliability.”


About: I have always been surrounded with dogs ever since I was a kid. My parents always relied on me to walk my dogs every morning and evening. I’m a recent grad, currently looking for jobs. I stay at home a lot of the times, but I would love to take your dog on a walk in a park. I don’t have pets at my apartment, so your dog will be safe from other dogs. My apartment has a fenced garden, so your pet won’t be holding in their pee and poo.
About: I am from America and I am here in France playing football and working as an au pair. I want to spend more time outdoors on walks and get to know the people and pets around me! I have a lot of experience with pets personally and professionally and am comfortable helping to training dogs, providing medications to pets, and following detailed instructions. Monday, Tuesday, and Friday I have the most availability but can usually also provide services Wednesday-Sunday in the morning. I’m happy to chat on your specific needs and work together to find a schedule that fits both of us! I care for pets by monitoring their behavior, food and water levels, and yard/litter box. I spend quality time with your pet so they get enough attention and play time in.

Ladonna S.
“La Donna would be a great addition to your team as she is a lover of all animals, especially the 4 legged, tail-wagging ones... Her cat "Tyrone" who she had for 15 years, and her dog "Ziggy" who recently passed away were her loves in life and they were spoiled rotten..lol. She also helps care for our mom's dog "Simba", and he appreciates all the love, hugs, walks, and treats she gives to him. I'm sure you won't be disappointed with the TLC she'll show the animals as well as the good customer service to the owners.”

Francesca S.
“I can’t recommend Francesca highly enough! From the moment we met, it was clear she had a natural connection with animals. Our dog, Cali is usually shy around new people, not an issue with Francesca, they bonded right away. Cali wasn’t just well taken care of, she was genuinely happy, which we could see from the daily updates, photos, and videos Francesca sent. Francesca truly goes above and beyond, treating every pet like her own. She’s reliable, attentive, and clearly has a deep love for animals. Knowing Cali was in such capable and loving hands gave us so much peace of mind. We’ll absolutely be booking with her again! She also takes care of and rides horses, so you know she's excellent with all pet sensibilities and can handle dogs no matter where they are on the aggression spectrum.”

Hanicka S.
“Hanicka is a very loving animal person. Since she was young, she's always approached cats and dogs, excited to meet them. When she finally got her own dog (Saphi), she was patient with dog training, careful with food choices, cleaned the Saphi regularly and checked up with the vets asap if there was something wrong. She even brought home a senior dog (Sammy) that had been living in a factory for most of his life. Thanks to Hanicka, Sammy got to spend his last few years in a loving home with Saphi. I would highly recommend her for dog or cat sitting. She is very attentive and will do her best to take care of your loved ones.”
Elizabeth T.
“Elizabeth has been a godsend in caring for our dog when we have had to travel. Liz is so well organized and reliable, I am always impressed with the level of thought and care she shows in dog sitting. She is just amazing with dogs, and our little guy has thrived when he is in Liz’s care. I fully recommend her without any hesitation.”

Michelle is fantastic! Super communicative and reliable. She has taken such great care of our puppy Mochi! She started with him when he was too young to go on walks and took great care of him during her drop-in visits and potty breaks. When he started going on walks, she helped him with leash confidence and getting used to strangers. I always appreciated the detailed Rover cards & cute pics she took of Mochi. Definitely will book Michelle in the future and highly recommend her for drop-in visits or walks with your pup!
