“Carrie was wonderful with my one year-old Maltese dog. She made sure my dog was well taken care of . Carrie stayed at our house for one week while we were on vacation and was very responsible.”


About: I’ve cared for dogs since I was 10, including six Chihuahuas, a Pit Bull, and now a Border Collie and Australian Shepherd. I’m experienced with different personalities, energy levels, and needs, and I understand the importance of patience, consistency, exercise, and affection. What sets me apart is my lifelong hands on experience and genuine love for animals, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I currently work part-time while completing my RBT certification, which gives me a flexible schedule and availability to take on pet-sitting opportunities. I’m looking to fill some of my extra hours by providing dependable, attentive care for pets. I’m available for overnight stays and can work with each pet’s individual routine and needs. I’m responsible, reliable, and committed to making sure your pets receive plenty of attention, care, and companionship while you’re away. I follow each pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention. I provide patient, loving care while keeping their environment clean, safe, and comfortable. I’m happy to follow any specific instructions or routines your pet is used to.
“We are really excited to have found Daniella. She is very reliable and competent. She did everything we needed plus some. She took care of our 3 dogs and our horse. She sent us lots of pictures and updates. Our dogs are my babies and it makes me anxious to leave them but I could tell in the pictures they were enjoying themselves and happy so I could relax and enjoy myself. We will definitely use Daniella again.”

About: I had a chihuahua for 11 years and have been around pets for my whole life. Always willing to learn and grow with new experiences. Becoming a full-time college student soon but I will make time for your amazing pets! I will communicate with you if there are any schedule conflicts to address. I have a big fenced yard and plenty of room for your pet to roam and play. I do not have any other pets so that shouldn’t be a problem.
About: Welcome to Paws on Puente, we’re so happy you’re here! We are a licensed, home based dog daycare and boarding experience where every pup is cared for like one of our own. ❤️🐾 What started with a lifelong love of dogs and years of fostering dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments has grown into our small family business. And today, we’re fortunate to have our wonderful team helping us provide the same attentive, personalized care our families have come to know and trust with us over the years. 💕 One of the things that makes Paws on Puente different is that we don’t believe every dog needs the same experience: 🐾 Have a social butterfly who loves making friends? 🐶 We thoughtfully match dogs by size, energy level, play style, and temperament to create safe, well-balanced playgroups with plenty of supervised play and enrichment. Have a senior, shy pup, independent dog, or one who simply prefers more personal space? ❤️ That’s okay too! We’re able to provide quieter areas, 1-on-1 attention, rest time, and separation from group play as needed. Your dog never has to be the life of the party to feel comfortable here! 🥰 Our years of fostering have given us experience caring for dogs with a wide range of personalities and needs. We understand that some dogs walk in ready to make ten new best friends 😁 while others need time, patience, structure, or a little extra reassurance. 🫶🏽 I’m Cheridyn, a longtime dog mom, foster mom, and owner of Paws on Puente. Together, my husband Gil and I have three adult children (all ready to help care for yours when they’re around!) and three resident pups of our own, ranging from playful youngster to super senior. We both work from home, which means we’re here throughout the day to provide supervision, interaction, potty breaks, playtime, walks, and medical attention as needed. Around here, dogs truly ARE family!! Whether your pup comes for daycare, an overnight stay, or an extended vacation, our goal is simple: to give them a safe, fun, comfortable home away from home, with the type of care that fits them. We can’t wait to welcome your pup to the Paws on Puente family! 🐾❤️ About Us Gil and I have spent years caring for dogs of many different breeds, temperaments, and life stages—from energetic puppies to senior dogs needing a little extra TLC. We’re both working professionals, with at least one of us working from home every weekday, so your pup will receive plenty of supervision, companionship, and attention throughout the day. Outside of work, we love spending time with our dogs by going on walks, hikes, kayaking adventures, and exploring together. We also enjoy giving back to our community. I previously served on Mountain House’s Youth Competitive Sports Board of Directors, and Gil founded the community’s first competitive youth Track & Field program. Now that our children are grown, we’ve shifted that passion into fostering dogs for local shelters and providing exceptional care for our boarding guests. Our Pet Care Philosophy We believe exceptional care starts with great communication. 👉🏽Before your dog’s stay, we’re happy to schedule an introductory phone call or communicate through Rover to learn about your pup’s personality, daily routine, medical needs, favorite activities, and any special preferences. Every dog is introduced slowly and individually to ensure they’re comfortable and compatible with the rest of the pack. During busy seasons and holidays, we prioritize crate-trained dogs because it allows us to safely manage feeding times, rest periods, and overnight routines. We provide sanitized crates and comfortable beds in multiple sizes. If your dog typically sleeps outside of a crate, we can accommodate one non-crated overnight guest at a time with a customized sleeping arrangement. Our home is thoughtfully designed with gated areas that allow us to separate dogs by size, age, energy level, and temperament when needed, ensuring every guest feels safe, relaxed, and successful during their stay. Your Dog’s Stay Your pup will enjoy supervised indoor and outdoor access throughout the day using our doggy door, along with our fully fenced backyard featuring: • Large shaded gazebo for sunny or rainy days • Two spacious decks for relaxing and sunbathing • Artificial turf and a sand play area for zoomies and enrichment Our goal is to provide a clean, safe, structured, and loving environment where every stay feels like a fun vacation with friends. And if you prefer that we keep your dog crated or away from the other dogs at home, we can customize your pet’s stay to allow for that too! Last-minute bookings are welcome whenever availability allows. We’re conveniently located along routes to and from the Bay Area, Tahoe, Southern California, and Yosemite — perfect for quick drop-offs before your getaway! We also offer video calls or in-person meet & greets before booking to ensure a great fit and to learn how we can best personalize your pup’s stay. Long-term stay discounts are available.
“We are so pleased with the care our dogs received during their two night in home stay. Tiana was warm, professional, and kept us well-informed with regular communication and photos throughout. It was clear our dogs felt completely at ease, they were relaxed, content, and showing all the signs of a happy, stress free stay. We would not hesitate to book again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for attentive, loving care for their pets.”

“Kayla was for a week our in-home cat sitter and she was pure magic. She is the cat-sitter equivalent of Mary Poppins—truly beyond compare. As anxious pet parents of needy cats , we were looking for someone who could handle specific routines and provide constant, loving care. Kayla exceeded every expectation. • Exceptional Cat Care: She treated our cats like her very own, building a wonderful relationship with them and ensuring they were happy and stress-free. She followed all of our detailed instructions perfectly, managing our cats' needs. • Above and Beyond: Kayla didn't just meet our expectations; she went above and beyond. Not only did she care for the cats, but she also took immaculate care of our home, leaving it as neat and tidy as when we left. • Peace of Mind: She was a pro at managing our pet-parent anxiety, providing timely updates and clearly demonstrating her dedication. We can't recommend Kayla enough. If you are looking for a trustworthy and absolutely amazing sitter who will treat your pets and your home with the utmost respect, look no further. We will absolutely be booking her again!”
About: ~Cat Boarding Available~ Hi there! If you’re looking for an experienced and active sitter who will shower your pets with love while keeping them safe and happy, I would love to meet you! I’ve spent plenty of time around all types of dogs, including big, strong breeds, so I am very comfortable managing canine energy and practicing good boundaries. To make sure our outdoor adventures are as safe as they are fun, I focus my walks on small and medium dogs, or larger pups who are already pretty calm and collected on the leash. I happily offer dedicated home care with a touch of gentleness. I follow your pet’s normal routines and any pet care instructions you give. I enjoy providing comfort and a peaceful environment for all pets. I am also a cat mom of 4 and absolutely love all types of cats, so I am always happy to help with kitty drop-ins, feedings, and playtime too. I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies! I currently have a flexible schedule. Whether your pup or kitten needs a last-minute check-in, a mid-day walk or your pet requires strict, timely medication schedules, I am around to help. When I am in your home, safety and respect for your space are my priorities. I treat your home with care, ensuring doors are securely locked, gates are latched, and your home is left exactly as I found it. I can follow strict instructions to ensure that your pet’s needs are met. I also love sending many photos on updates with every visit, so you have total peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.
About: Since I was a little girl, I have always had a ♥ for animals. I've cared for dogs, cats, puppies, kittens, ducks, chickens, rabbits, and a mini pig. A plus for me is that I have been a foster for Animal Rescue of Tracy for 10+ years now, so I have experience with all sorts of dogs and cats, from those who need special medication to rambunctious dogs to newborn kittens. There is no animal you can give me that I will not love, pet, cuddle, and care for. 🌷 I am a responsible 25 year old who has been caring for animals my whole life. This is my first Rover account, but I have been pet sitting in the Tracy community for 10 years. I live on 1.5 acres with 25 + animals, so I am very experienced and would love to help out with your furry friends! :) I'm currently working part-time with the majority of my work being remote so I will have plenty of time to care for your pets! 🏡 I live on 1.5 acres of property so your dogs will have plenty of space to run around, play, and relieve themselves. Depending on your dog's friendliness, they can remain inside with my two small dogs, or I can keep them in our supervised dog run area just for them. If you have cats, they will be contained in their own area in my house so that they do not run and hide, as new environments tend to cause anxiety. 🏠 If house sitting, I make the animals feel as comfortable as possible to ease any stress of their owners being away. Pets & play are always guaranteed. I also send pictures everyday & when asked! ⭐ My routine is simple: follow your directions on feeding, walking, medication if needed, and I will handle the other most important part: giving them lots of love!
“Book Jazmin for your pet sitting needs! We booked Jazmin for overnight pet sitting in our home and had a great experience from our meet and greet and our vacation. She gave our shy little guy so much love and treated him like her own. She was very patient with our dog and followed all of our instructions. Jazmin is so great with animals. She was very responsible and kept us updated throughout her stay. We returned to our home and it was exactly how we had left it! Thank you for watching our fur baby. We will definitely be booking again in the future. So glad we found someone so great we can trust to watch our dog and home! Thank you 🙂”

“Kaitlin did an amazing job in-house pet sitting my fur baby (dog) Caffe for 10 days while I was out of the Country. She was very responsive and sent photos and videos, further assuring me that Caffe was in great hands. Caffe was very happy and healthy when I returned. I will definitely be booking Kaitlin again!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was very little. I’ve always had dogs in my household. I currently have 3 right now and although it’s a lot of work, I want a 4th! I worked with pup walks for a while and also volunteer at the Dublin animal shelter so I am very experienced with all sizes of dogs. A few of my friends have cats and they are absolutely amazing and very easy to handle. I am comfortable walking, bathing, feeding, and sitting your fur baby! I currently work part time in Livermore so I’m looking for something else to just keep be a little bit more busy during the week/weekends. I’ll play with your fur baby in the yard or home, take them for a walk- whichever you prefer. Feed them and give them water, let them relax or crate them - whichever you prefer.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Mountain House
This was the first time "Benson" had spent the night away from us in 10yrs. I was nervous and worried, but Carrie did everything to make us comfortable as well as Benson. With Benson being blind, she followed our program and did everything that Benson needed! We'd like to give a big thanks to Carrie, and Rover. If we ever need help again, we know where to find it! Thank you again Carrie! We appreciate you, your time, and your help!

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Mountain House walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Mountain House maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Mountain House choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
