“Irina was extremely attentive to my boys' needs, going above and beyond with giving them treats, playing with them, cleaning their litter box, and sending plenty of updates while I was away on a trip. I had only asked her to keep the boys well fed and ensure their safety, but clearly, my cats had a great time with her around! I recommend Irina to any pet parent in need of care for their beloved pets”

“★★★★★ Exceptional Care - Ruby Went Above and Beyond! I can’t recommend Ruby highly enough! She took care of my two cats, Cashmere and Kitty Kat Dinsky, for two weeks while I was away, and honestly, I couldn’t have asked for better care. Ruby was incredibly communicative throughout the entire time - I received tons of photos and regular progress reports that gave me complete peace of mind while I was traveling. She didn’t just go through the motions; she genuinely gave my cats the attention and care they needed. It was clear she wasn’t just checking boxes but actually connecting with them and making sure they were happy and comfortable. Coming home to two content, well-cared-for cats (and a clean space!) was such a relief. If you’re looking for someone reliable, attentive, and truly caring, Ruby is your person. I’ll absolutely be booking her again for future trips!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​”

About: I love all animals and have four animals of my own: two dogs (Chico, a cattle dog and Millie, a lab mix) and two cats (Munchie and Boo). One of my cats is diabetic, so I am familiar with, and able to safely perform injections on cats if needed. While I am new to Rover, I have been caring for both cats and dogs of my own for over a decade. I'm currently between jobs, so I am available any time during the day on weekends and week days. My schedule is very flexible to fit the needs of your pet. I am very detail-oriented and am careful to follow all instructions given by the owner. I understand that being left at home can be stressful for many pets and/or owners, and will do whatever I can to make sure that your pets are well cared for while you are away.

About: Hi! I’ve been a parent to my current pups for ten years, from puppies to their early senior years. I have experience with disabled dogs (Nemo is three legged+epileptic), active dogs, and fearful dogs. I have 4 years of volunteer experience at animal shelters as an assistant dog trainer and shelter dog socializer, so I’m comfortable with the whole spectrum of pup personalities! I have a flexible work calendar, so I can work around your schedule. Fridays and weekends are great for outings, especially if they like hikes or long walks For simplicity, I like to keep my dogs at home so I can give yours all the attention they need. If you want them socialized, I’m more than happy to take them to the dog park or a public park nearby. Of course, I will only do what you & your dog are 100% comfortable with

About: I currently WFH as a Client Finance Manager and recently completed my MBA degree. Somehow, I still have plenty of free time and absolutely love pups! I have my own 4-year-old cavapoo, Eloise, and an 11-month-old mini poodle mix, Charlie Sheen. We go on walks 2–3 times a day along the beautiful Bay Trail and would love to walk your dog, too! Hire me to dog-sit, dog-walk, or care for your pup—I offer extra attention with snuggles, kisses, and plenty of outdoor time! I am home throughout the day to ensure frequent potty breaks, attention, and regular check-ins. I typically walk dogs twice a day, and with my flexible schedule, I can accept last-minute bookings. I can stay for a few hours at your home, take pups on a long walk, or simply drop by to check in and feed them. I firmly believe all pups should have access to daily cleaned and fresh bowls of water. My car can take me anywhere to care for your pup!

About: I have raised my almost 13 year old husky since he was a few months old, so I've handled both ends of the spectrum, from puppy training (potty training, crate training, puppy play time) to senior care as he approaches 13. Whether it's cleaning up messes or complex medication regiments, I'm comfortable and confident with pets of all sizes at any stage and I'd love to bring that same care to your dog. I'm self-employed and work from home full time, which gives me a flexible schedule throughout the day. My husky and I go on multiple walks a day as part of our normal routine, and I have plenty of time and energy to share with more furry friends. I genuinely love spending time with dogs, whether that's a quick drop-in visit, playtime in the backyard, a walk around the neighborhood, or a trip to the park. I'm attentive to each dog's comfort level and adjust activities to what they enjoy most, so every visit feels safe and fun for them.

About: My priority is your dog's comfort. I will work to gain their trust and become best friends! I also have experience giving medication and brushing teeth. I am currently a substitute teacher so most days of the week and weekend I am home. My partner and I are homebodies so you can often find us snuggling with our dog Bambi. Bambi and I love to go to the dog park and hiking. Whether your dog is young or old, playful or independent, they will fit in here! I have one friendly dog Bambi that enjoys making new dog friends! Bambi is very small, 8 lbs, but he does well with dogs of all size. We usually go to the dog park several times a week so he can socialize.

About: I live with two dogs of my own as part of a full multi-pet household, so daily care isn't new to me — it's routine. I have specific experience with senior dogs, including the extra patience and attentiveness that comes with mobility issues, changes in appetite, and adjusted exercise needs. I'm comfortable administering medications — pills, liquids, or topicals — and keep careful notes on dosing and timing so nothing gets missed. My apartment includes an oversized outdoor patio for fresh air and relaxing evenings, and our community also has a dog run that's always accessible for exercise and playtime. Whether your dog is a high-energy pup or a slower-moving senior, I adjust my pace and attention to what they actually need. Pet care is my full-time focus, because I don't work outside the home, my schedule is wide open — which means I can offer walks and drop-in visits at the times that actually fit your pet's routine, not squeezed into a narrow morning-or-evening window like many sitters. Mornings are typically free for early walks or first visits of the day. I have consistent availability through the afternoon for midday drop-ins, potty breaks, or a second walk if your dog needs it. And I'm just as available in the evenings for a final walk or check-in before you're home. Whether your pet needs one visit a day or several spread throughout, I have the flexibility to actually be there when it counts. Safety and trust start with creating a calm, structured environment where pets can settle in and feel at home. My apartment is a full-time, attentive household — with two dogs and several cats of my own, pets who stay or visit here are never left alone for long stretches, and routines (feeding, medication, walks) are followed closely and consistently. I keep a close eye on interactions between visiting pets and my own animals to make sure everyone is comfortable, and I'm attentive to signs of stress so I can adjust the environment as needed — whether that means quiet separate space or supervised introductions. Outdoor time is always supervised, whether that's the patio, a walk, or the community dog run, and I take care to secure doors, gates, and any potential hazards throughout the home. Your pet's safety and comfort are treated with the same level of care as my own.

About: I have over 20 years of experience caring for dogs and cats. I have been pet sitting for friends, family, and neighbors since high school. I currently have a sweet kitty named Luna, who is very loved and very much a part of my family. I also had a pug named Khloe, who sadly passed away earlier this year. She was truly my baby, and I loved her like she was my own child. I miss her everyday, and losing her left a big space in my heart. Caring for animals has always brought me so much joy and happiness, and I feel lucky whenever I get the opportunity to love and care for someone else's furry family member! I currently have a lot of free time and flexibility, so I'm able to give your pets plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and cuddles. I'll treat your pets like they're my own and make sure they get all the love and care they deserve. I would love the opportunity to get to know your pets and become someone you can trust to care for them whenever you need a helping hand! I currently have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time to caring for your pets. I'm available throughout the week and on weekends as well. I'm happy to accommodate different schedules and routines. I'm available for daytime walks, drop-in visits, and overnight stays. Having a flexible schedule means to can give your pets plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and companionship rather than leaving them alone for long periods of time. Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I'm happy to care for your pets in their own home, where they can stay in a familiar and comfortable environment while you're away. I vow to always be respectful of your home and will follow your instructions and your pet's normal routine as closely as possible. I have reliable transportation and my own car, so I'm able to easily travel to your home for walks, drop-in visits, and overnight stays. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets, and I will treat your home and your fur babies with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I will also always keep you in the loop while I'm caring for your pet and will send you regular updates and pictures, so you can have peace of mind knowing they're happy, safe and well cared for.

About: Taking care of dogs started for me with my wonderful and energetic Airedale in my teens and twenties, and continues as a dedicated uncle to my sister’s 4 dogs (yes 4!). I am the guy my friends consistently ask to pet sit when they leave town. I also take pride in leaving your house as nice as when arrived. For long stays or short, I’m happy to help. I am currently working part time nearby and I am not planning holiday travel, so I’ll have plenty of time for quality visits with your dogs! Your pets and your home environment are important to you. I will exercise the utmost care with both and make sure you feel comfortable entrusting me with either or both.

About: Pets are humanizing. They remind us of our obligation and responsibility to preserve and care for all life - James Cromwell As a child I spent summers on a farm and have always been connected to nature & animals. My first pet was a chicken at 7yrs old and had cats my whole life, even throughout college! My first dog was a female Shelted Sheepdogs (sheltie) then we got her a brother a year later. What fun sweet memories and joy having them growing up. Humans can learn a lot from our pets, their unconditional love & playfulness. Caring for animals is a privilege. Similar to raising children (I have two teens) and requires lots of awareness, love, patience, attention to detail, and kindness. Safety is always priority number one I work an office job from 8a-5p during the week and am available for pet care after hours, early mornings, and on the weekends. If a client is near my office or home I’m able to visit sooner. I live in a nice neighborhood near a great park and walking trails. My home is safe, organized, clean with fenced yard and two pets (dog & cat) to keep your fur baby company. If your pet is crate-trained I can support that too.
