“Kim is great with our cat Bert. She's super responsive to check in, and importantly, Bert trusts her and is ready to play and snuggle with Kim on her visits.”

About: I’m a dog mom to a Goldendoodle I’ve raised since he was 8 weeks old, so I have hands-on experience with puppy routines, feeding, walks, crate training, enrichment, and basic obedience. Caring for my own dog has taught me how important consistency, patience, and close attention are. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions and routines, and I’ll treat your pet with the same care and attention I give my own. I’m also happy to provide plenty of photos and updates during each visit so you can feel comfortable while you’re away. I’m currently in graduate school and have a structured weekly schedule, which allows me to plan pet care reliably. I also have a dog of my own, so I’m very used to structuring my day around walks, feeding, playtime, and maintaining a consistent routine. I’m typically available Tuesday afternoons and evenings, with additional evening and weekend availability depending on the week. I keep my Rover calendar updated to reflect my current availability. For drop-in visits, I’ll carefully follow your pet’s usual routine and any instructions you provide, including feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, playtime, and other care needs. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet and feel confident that your routines and preferences will be respected. I’m very open to discussing expectations beforehand and adjusting my care to each pet and pet parent’s preferences so everyone feels comfortable. I’m also mindful about securely closing doors and gates, using leashes properly, and keeping pets supervised. I’ll send photos and updates during each visit so you always know how your pet is doing.

“Yilian was wonderful with our dogs. She provided drop-ins to primarily feed our fur babies; and she ensured their blankets were in their beds, tidied up the garage and yard, and played with them while she was at the house. She communicated well and promptly, sent us updates and pics. We will definitely book Yilian again!”

“Jennifer followed my detailed instructions very well and sent me constant updates with pictures while I went on a long deserved vacation. Kitty got sick a week prior so I was worried that she hasn’t fully recovered. Luckily there were no issues. Thanks Jennifer for everything! Highly recommend to others.”

Brian P.

“Yancy was great! She picked up our bernedoodle from School and drove him safely home. Kept us updated and even took the time to meet all of us prior to the visit. Will def use again! Thank you!”

About: My experience taking care of my own cat and dogs in my home for the last 10 years has given me a lot of knowledge about how pets behave and how to make sure they are happy while their parents are away. I helped raise my parents two King Charles Cavaliers, a very affectionate and hyper breed, and took care of them when mom and/or dad went away. I am experienced with grooming long hair on the ears and tail, and I wouldn't mind brushing your dog or cat as much as they allow. I love animals of all sizes and temperaments! I can make sure they are well-exercised on walks. I've had my cat since I was 8 years old, so I have plenty of experience with cat care. I know when to back off and when to redirect and play with cats, and I never mind giving plenty of pets. I am available all of the time unless I have plans in place. I am very flexible as well. Please reach out to me and we can figure out something that works for both of us. Any precautions you make me aware of will always be followed. I will adjust what I do depending on the animals mood, and make sure their needs are met. I always make sure that the animal(s) are happy and hopefully tuckered out by the time I leave. I always clean up after myself and the pet(s), so you don't have to worry about coming home to a mess. I also am a plant lady, so I am happy to keep your plants watered and cared for.

“Maria took such great care of our tux! We knew he would be in great hands and well taken care of ! 10/10”

“We have used Elena twice now, each time for 10 days drop-ins to primarily feed our dogs. She communicates well and very reliable. I feel at ease when we were away that our fur babies have been fed. Highly recommend Elena!”

Mabel G.

“Dani did a great job taking care of my two cats! She has a natural way with animals, and they warmed up to her right away despite the fact that they are usually very shy. She was punctual and professional, and we really appreciate the fact that she was available on short notice for a holiday weekend. Cannot recommend her highly enough!!!!”

About: I have been taking care of various farm animals, dogs, and cats since as long as I can remember! I’ve also had pets my whole adult life, spanning from dogs, cats, rats, and reptiles! I am currently a part time college student, which means before 7pm, I have all the time in the world to hang out with your pets! I take care of others pets the same way I do, and i respect that as the important parts of families like they are. In my clients homes, I will make sure that their pets are able to have many different avenues of activity, while still keeping them safe, and providing the mental stimulation they need, meaning lick mats for dogs of any size, and different puzzle games for cats and dogs alike!

About: I've been pet sitting since HS and grew to learn a lot about proper care and training. I pride myself on being very detail oriented and maintaining excellent communication. I am extremely clean and respectful while in others homes, being quiet to ensure the neighbors are not disturbed also. I love giving tons of attention and cuddles to all the babies :) I also go above and beyond to talk to them, explaining everything and helping them feel safe (it seems extra, but it really does help them). I have personally owned and lived with dogs, cats, chinchillas, chickens, birds, reptiles, and fish. *please note the rover rates are estimated with auto calculation, they include a brief meet & greet, and totals will be confirmed after meet & greet based on the level of care and dedicated time needed for the pets during the stay. Discounts apply for proximity to my home, as well. I currently work remotely part time so I am able to schedule check ins throughout the late morning to evening, between meetings and appointments. With all pet care services I offer, I schedule a window of time for the visit to allow myself flexibility within the flow of my day. I prefer to arrive in my best energy to care for animals so I schedule a lot of buffer to eliminate any hectic timelines. I usually prefer to do a meet & greet in advance to get all care instructions (I take my own notes), but I can also manage well if there is an instruction sheet with details. I just try to stick to everything as closely as possible so the only change for the animals is that their human is not home. I am also very observant of body language and can spot when the animals is feeling stressed to be able to adjust the environment and help them feel safe again.

About: I have over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, including helping care for two of my friend’s dogs over the years. I also currently have two dogs of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, walks, playtime, crate routines, and following specific care instructions. I’m patient, attentive, and understand that every dog has their own personality and needs. Most importantly, I’ll treat your pup with the same love, attention, and care that I give my own. 🐾 Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine since I have two dogs of my own. I work full-time during the week, so I’m available for pet care after work in the evenings and have more flexibility on weekends. I’m happy to provide walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, and plenty of attention while making sure your pet’s normal routine is followed. 🐾 Your pet’s safety and comfort are my priority. I provide a calm, clean environment and closely supervise pets while they’re in my care. Since I have two dogs of my own, I prefer a meet-and-greet beforehand to make sure everyone gets along. I’m also happy to use crates when requested and will always respect any boundaries or safety instructions you have for your pet.

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 8 so I have experience with young dogs, senior dogs, puppies (5-8 pups!), small or big dogs. Whether it's helping an anxious shy dog feel safe, a puppy get trained, making sure a senior dog is comfy and has had their meds, or getting the wiggles out of a playful energetic dog, I've done it! And I've done so with lots of compassion, patience, and care. I'm working part time as a music teacher Mon-Thur in the afternoons so I'll have plenty of time to take care of your fur family member! I am generally open Friday-Sunday and also during mornings/late evenings Mon-Thur. I care for dogs in their own home by keeping their routine consistent and stress-free. I follow all care instructions closely, provide plenty of love and attention, and send regular photo updates. My goal is for your dog to feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away :)

About: I have owned dogs and cats since I was 10 years old. I have been dog sitting for our neighbors and friends for the past 12 years. I am experienced with handling dogs of different sizes and temperaments. I am used to medicating pets, both my own and for the ones I am temporarily taking care of. I have volunteered with the Humane Society at different stages in my life and have fostered dogs and cats with them. I am now in a situation where I have a house and yard big enough to enjoy the company of more dogs or cats. I love animals and have two dogs and a cat. I work from home and can devote 100% attention to the animals I am taking care of. I work from home at least 4 of 5 days. I go on 30-45 minute walks twice every day and my puppies get access to our yard throughout the day. For cats they have access to a separate area of the house that has doggie gates, in case they want their alone time. I have a fenced yard that the puppies have access to during the day. They are never left outside unattended and will be always accompanied by a human. I also have doggie crates and beds inside the house if that's what the puppy prefers. For cats they have access to a separate area of the house that has doggie gates, in case they want their alone time.

“I appreciate all the care and love given to my cat. He is a grumpy old guy and he looked forward to his visits, rubs and treats everyday. I highly recommend Gianna!”

Karol Mindy H.

“Kevin was great. We had him cat sit for us while we were on vacation. Our cat warmed up to him immediately and they became fast friends. He was very helpful and diligent in cleaning the litter box. Would recommend him again!”

Brian O.

“Brian was very sensitive about all the information provided to him regarding Nala's care. He insisted that he gets a written info so that he could follow everything to the T. Nala did not seem stressed at all during the weekend I was away from home. This was a new home to Nala and generally that could make her anxious if left alone. Thank you Brian for being so kind. I will be taking your help soon!”

About: I have been providing home-style dog boarding and pet care since 2017, with over 9 years of hands-on experience. I also worked for two years at a professional dog boarding and daycare facility in San Francisco and have experience in animal rescue. I am experienced in caring for dogs of all ages and personalities, especially puppies, senior dogs, rescue dogs, and dogs with anxiety or special needs. What sets me apart is my small, home-based care approach. I only accept 1–2 dogs at a time, which allows me to provide full attention, a calm environment, and truly personalized care for each dog. I am patient and attentive, and I adjust my care based on each dog’s personality to help them feel safe, comfortable, and at home. I stay at home most of the time and have a flexible schedule, so caring for pets is a natural part of my daily life. I take dogs out for walks, feed them, and spend time with them every day. I only accept a small number of dogs so I can give each pet plenty of attention and care. Home-style care in Castro Valley. Only 1–2 dogs at a time, never more than a small pack — so every visitor gets personal attention and a calm, consistent routine. Quiet indoor spaces to nap, multiple walks outside each day, and free meet-and-greets before any stay. I've been caring for dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs and more since 2018 and specialize in small and medium dogs under 45 lb.

About: Hello, I've had dogs my whole life. I currently have one little Frenchie and sometimes help with my daughter’s father’s dog training facility. I’m open to walking and boarding dogs if needed. I currently work from home and live right by a huge dog friendly park. Very easy to take them out as I already take mines out about 4 or 5 times a day. I live in a one story house with a fenced yard and your fur babies are free to roam around or which ever you prefer.
