About: Hiya, I'm Peter! I've cared for dogs for as long as I can remember, and have since provided countless hours of pet-care of friends, family, friends of the family, and families of friends! I have years of experience doing walks, play, feeding, bathing, clean-up and more. I have experience with excitable breeds like a neighbor's golden doodle to my family's mellowed-out portugese water doggies, along with senior care. I see animal care as a privilege. Our pets are no less than little bundles of feelings and life that we are given the opportunity to cherish. I have been told on multiple occasions that I am able to calm animals unusually quickly, and I feel that I am attuned to the emotions of animals I care for. I would love to opportunity to provide care to your pet! I work from home in a low-speed position, so I have a flexible schedule for your pets' needs. Normally, I would do a morning and afternoon walk, with potty breaks peppered whenever they need. I can also step away from my work at a moment's notice if anything arises, from entertaining a bored doggie to foiling attempted counter surfing! I have a paved yard for sunbathing and potty breaks, the door to which I work right next to. I live near Lake Merritt, the Morcom Rose Garden, and a dog park, so I can provide walks of all lengths. My home is very cozy and has multiple spaces where an animal can detox from any overstimulation. I can provide a dog crate, scheduled meals, supervision, and play.

“Adam did great with our boxer mix! It was our first time being gone long enough to need a dog walker and it was great to be able to trust Adam with that!”

“One incredibly trustworthy dog walker who makes every outing the highlight of your dog’s day. Brutus absolutely adores her—he comes back from every walk happy as a clam. Couldn’t recommend her more highly! 🐕💛”

About: I love dogs. Plain and simple. Nothing makes me happier or puts a bigger smile on my face than seeing a dog strut down the sidewalk, living its best life, or just stretched out somewhere soaking up the sun. I’ve had the honor of being a dog dad to three pups over the years, and I miss having one around. I’m currently dog-childless, and after recently retiring from a job I had for 32 years, I’ve got a little more time on my hands and, honestly, I’m craving some much-needed dog time. I’m not quite in a position to bring another dog into our family right now, so I figured this might be the next best thing. I’d love to spend some of that time giving your dog some love, getting them out for a good walk, letting them get some exercise, and just hanging out with them. I genuinely enjoy being around dogs. They make me happy, and I think they can tell when somebody really likes them. So I’d love nothing more than to meet your pup, get to know their personality, and make a new four-legged friend. I’ll give them plenty of attention, take good care of them, and probably talk to them like they’re a person. Because, well… they are. At least in my book. I’m retired, so I have a pretty open and flexible schedule these days. I’m available Monday through Thursday from 8am–6pm, and honestly, I can’t think of a better way to spend some of that time than getting outside and hanging out with a dog. I like getting some steps in, getting some fresh air, and having a dog along makes all of that a lot more fun. So pet care fits pretty naturally into my week. I’m happy to work around your dog’s routine and give them some attention, exercise, and companionship while you’re busy. Since I’m offering dog walks, most of my time with your pup will be out getting some fresh air, stepping out on the town, and having a good time. I’ll come to your home, get your pup ready to go, and we’ll head out for a good walk. I’ll follow whatever instructions you leave for me, but mostly I’ll just pay attention to your dog and let them be themselves. Some dogs want to cover some ground, some want to stop and sniff every five feet, and some just want a little extra attention along the way. I’m good with all of it. And when I say I’ll treat your dog like my own, I mean it. My dogs were family, and they were treated like royalty with plenty of love, attention, belly rubs, and affection. Basically, I want your dog to have a great time, feel safe and loved, and be thinking, “When is this guy coming back?”

About: While I'm new to Rover, I have over 10 years experience taking care of my friends and family's cats, dogs, insects, and plants. I'm excited to start this business on Rover and extend that pet/plant care to the people in my East Bay community! I'm a landscape horticulture student in Oakland, so when I'm not in class, working in my garden, or spending time with my own kitties, I love taking care of my friends, neighbors, and families' pets. They bring so much silliness and happiness into my routine! When walking your dogs or taking care of your pets in your home, respect, safety, and trust are my top priorities. The pet parents I work with know their pets best, and I take their guidance and wishes very seriously. When I'm housesitting, I treat clients' homes with even more respect than I treat my own.

About: I’m a longtime dog owner, lifelong animal lover, and the person who will absolutely remember every dog's name before their human's. I’m dependable, attentive, and very comfortable caring for pets with different personalities, routines, and energy levels. I’m happy to help with walks, feeding, playtime, cuddles, and drop-in visits, and my schedule is flexible. I know how much trust it takes to hand over the care of your fluffy BFF, so I take that responsibility seriously. Off of Rover I have a corporate career, and I'm extremely reliable, communicative and professional. I have a few built in commitments - 7 - 8:30am weekdays, every other Sunday from 8 - 10am - but apart from that I will do my best to work around your schedule! I can adjust to whatever you and your doggie need, be it exercise, hikes, beach romps, dog park zoomies, tug of war with toys, or just quiet snuggles and a trot around the block.

“Maya was great. She communicated well and we will not hesitate to use her services again.”

I am comfortable with different routines and energy levels, and I love giving dogs plenty of walks, playtime, cuddles, and affection. I make sure every dog receives plenty of company, attention, and care throughout the day. Most importantly, I treat every dog as if they were part of my own family. 🐾❤️ Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I have plenty of time to give your dog the attention and care they need throughout the day. I’m available for walks, playtime, cudd Your dog’s safety and comfort are my priority.

About: I love animals and have been around fur pets since I was a child. I have experience with big dogs, puppies, senior dogs, and kittens. My previous neighbor used to foster kittens while I dog sat for my friends, family, landlords, neighbors, etc. Dogs and cats are my therapy and love some cuddles and jogs. I have my own 7 month old female puppy who absolutely loves all dogs. She’s shy towards people but dogs are her favorite. I have a hybrid schedule with flexibility during the week and weekends. I’m flexible and open to sitting, walking, runs, or just check-in’s. I’m typically busiest on Tuesdays and likely only available in the late afternoon. We love communication so I’m always happy to send updates and have experience with dogs who need extra attention and/or healing pets. For my puppies/kittens they’re learning so a little patience and attention to fostering their schedule/training is important. These animals are like my children so showing them the same love and care is important to me.

“Esteban quickly became my puppy's very best friend (I hope my kids don't see this). My puppy returns from walks and passes out for hours. Esteban is reliable and my puppy is always excited to go on their walks. He also communicates well and gives great updates on any activity from the walk.”

“Christine came to the rescue on short notice to walk our foster dog while we were on vacation. She was patient, understanding and offered great care. Love the rover.com app and the report card feature! Christine clearly followed the protocol, gave informative daily feedback and put our concerns about leaving new foster pet at ease. Thanks Christine!”

About: Hi, I'm Corinne! I'm an Oakland-based yoga teacher, writer, and aerial dancer with more than 8 years of professional pet-sitting experience. Caring for animals is one of my favorite parts of what I do, and I love getting to know each pet's unique personality, routines, and quirks. Since I began housesitting in 2018, I've cared for dozens of dogs and cats of all ages, breeds, and temperaments—including energetic puppies, senior pets, reactive or anxious dogs, and pets who need medication or other specialized care. As a yoga teacher, I'm naturally patient, observant, and attentive. I enjoy taking the time to earn an animal's trust, notice changes in their behavior, and adapt to the pace that helps them feel safest and most comfortable. I split my work between teaching in person and working from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to spend plenty of quality time with the pets in my care. I'm organized, dependable, and comfortable learning new care routines, administering medication, and providing regular photo and video updates so you can relax knowing your pets are happy and well cared for. When caring for pets in their own homes, I treat every home with the same respect I give the animals, and I always strive to leave your home just as clean—or even cleaner—than I found it. I’m a yoga teacher, writer, and aerial dancer, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to build my days around the pets in my care. My schedule includes a mix of teaching in person and working from home, so I’m able to provide plenty of companionship, attention, and consistency for your pets. For overnight stays, I love creating a calm, home-like routine—morning walks, playtime, meals, enrichment, and plenty of cuddles or quiet companionship depending on your pet’s personality. For drop-in visits, I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine and make sure they receive the care, attention, exercise, and affection they need while you’re away. I’m organized and communicative, and I take the time to understand your pet’s unique needs, habits, and preferences so their routine feels as familiar and comfortable as possible. When caring for pets in their own home, my goal is always to create a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment that feels familiar to them. I know how important it is to trust someone with your home and your animals, and I treat every space with the same care and respect I would want for my own. Before each sit, I take time to learn your pet’s routine, personality, triggers, preferences, and any special care instructions. I’m comfortable administering medication, caring for senior or anxious pets, and adapting my approach to each animal’s individual needs. As a yoga teacher, I’m naturally patient, observant, and attentive to small changes in behavior and energy. I focus on building trust at your pet’s pace—whether that means an adventurous walk, a playful session, or simply being a calm presence nearby. I’m also happy to provide regular updates, photos, and videos so you can feel connected and confident that your pets and home are in good hands.

About: I love providing care that feels personal and full of joy. Animals have always been part of my life, and after years of experience, over 90 bookings and counting; I’ve learned that connection matters most. My goal is to engage and exhaust, because happy dogs are tired dogs. Every visit is about building trust and comfort. When families choose to rebook, it’s more than a service; it’s a relationship built on love, reliability, and understanding. Dogs become part of my daily routine rather than being placed into a kennel environment. My day is structured around consistency, exercise, and calm downtime, which helps many dogs settle in quickly and feel at home. Because I work from home and with a limited number of dogs I'm able to pay close attention to each dog's needs. High energy dogs receive appropriate exercise and engagement, while more relaxed dogs are given the space and quiet they prefer. My goal is simple: when you pick up your dog, I want the dog to seem like they had a great vacation of their own.
