“Matt was great! He came and met us the day before our walk/drop in, it was nice knowing he would know exactly where everything was and what to do. During the drop in he sent updates and pics! We will use him again. Thank you again, Matt!”
“Stephanie has been so great with my dog Maya. After starting a new job and moving to a new city, I didn’t have any support to help with my dog. Stephanie has been so helpful with all these changes. Maya can be a bit nervous around new people but she warmed up to Stephanie really fast and gets so excited to see her! Stephanie is so great- she is a very reliable person, trustworthy, a great communicator and great with dogs. I’m so happy I found her and that Maya really enjoys her company!”
“Ananda was amazing - she was really helpful coordinating dates/times, she stopped by early to meet my dog, and she was lovely about keeping me updated with everything! I think she’d be a great sitter or walker that I’d recommend to anyone”
“Simply put Alexandria is awesome! She was very prompt in replying to my initial inquiry for walks. She was prompt and very personable for “our meet and greet” to go over my pups routine. She also”

“Laura came through for my last minute request for a same day dog walker and was wonderful with my senior anxious pup. She clearly understands dog behavior especially those with specific needs around anxiety and fearfulness. It felt great to receive pics of my dog Ollie happy on her walk and get a detailed update from Laura - so reassuring for dog parents of anxious pups!”
About: I will care and love for your dog just as much as you do. I've done occasional dog sitting over the last couple of years, and I always have such a great time with the dogs that I care for. I'm often called a dog whisperer because most dogs just gravitate towards me. I am unable to have a dog of my own at the moment so having the opportunity to care for yours would be amazing. I love the pureness, and sincerity of a dog's character. I understand that your pet is family, and I will always treat them as such, their care is of the utmost importance to me. (However ,for the time being I can provide part-time care for your loved one )
“Christina was amazing. She was really responsive since the begining and kept us updated through the pet/house sitting and drop ins. Even our shyest dog took we'll to her. Definitely booking with her in the future.”
“Chris is a fantastic dog walker. My rescue girl is high energy and has some behavioral quirks, and he took the time to understand all of that and build a rapport before starting regular walks. He's reliable and all-around great to work with.”
About: Your cats will love me! 😺 ----------------------- Howdy! I have had the great pleasure of loving and taking care of many different pets—horses, reptiles, fish, dogs, and cats. Don’t tell the other species, but I have a special connection with and fondness for felines. (When I was an infant, Isadora the Siamese spooned me while I slept in my cradle. So, I consider myself part kitten.) Cats are my first crush, but sadly, my doggos (senior chihuahuas with attitude) are not cat fans, so I’m seeking out other folks’ kitties to give some affection to. (BTW: My partner volunteers at Oakland Animal Services and fosters unhoused dogs, and most recently, bunnies! -- so, we are an animal rescue family.) I'm versed in pill giving, administering subcutaneous injections (insulin, etc), giving fluids; I also adore all my elder or special needs kittenz. I am highly responsible, reliable, and detail-oriented. I am COVID vaccinated. I provide photo updates, so you can relax and refuel! Another fun fact: Cat Sitting is a full time thing for me; I'm no fly-by-night operation, and I love what I do! I'm available weekdays, weeknights, and weekends. I live near Piedmont Avenue, with easy access to the surrounding neighborhoods. I prefer local, so I can walk, but I do have a vehicle and take my kitty-care most anywhere. From Grand Lake to Piedmont to the Avenue to Temescal and beyond (Rockridge & South Berkeley, I'm looking at you 😺)! Previously, I opened and owned an art framing & gallery space (Panorama, on Grand Avenue); was a commercial photographer; and was a bookseller -- I also currently freelance in the digital realm and pursue art making. If you are traveling for work or for holidays, or need a drop-in when you're not wfh, please reach out! >^•-•^< Any pets who are under my care get the same treatment I would hope for myself—patience, kindness, unconditional love, and acceptance. And, oh yeah, treats. :-)

Mosswood dog parents share their Rover experiences
Melissa was great she got him to trust her right away! She tired and played with our pup every visit that he’s just chilling after her visit/walks. He would cry before within 2 hours with our other walker. She even helped him work on his fear of stairs! Thank you Melissa!
Hilary is very easy to work with and has great and prompt communication. She was able to gain some trust of my sensitive and shy dog in only a couple meetings. She's good at reading the situation and taking the time needed to build a connection with her, even staying a little longer to make sure it was smooth for my pup and her needs were met. Would definitely have her walk my pupper again.
