Pet Sitting & Drop Ins in Oakland Ave-Harrison St, Oakland, CA

“Jacob was great with Bean! He fed him his food, refilled the water and cleaned the bowls, and made the time to play lots with him. He also took plenty of photos! This was our first time going away and having a cat sitter, so we were a bit nervous, but the detailed notes and pictures definitely eased our nerves! Thanks Jacob <3”

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life. Growing up on my grandparents' farm, I developed a deep love and understanding for animals of all kinds. Over the years, I've also cared for two of the most unique dog breeds— a Chihuahua named AJ and a Chinese Shar-Pei named Roxie—both known for their distinct personalities. Additionally, I’ve had the pleasure of dog-sitting for two friends here in the Bay Area: a Golden Doodle named Riley and a Lab-Boxer mix named Uno. I truly enjoyed these experiences, which gave me the confidence to expand my pet care services through Rover. With plenty of patience and a genuine affection for animals, I’ll treat your pet like my own and ensure they receive the care and attention they deserve. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, operating on East Coast hours. This allows me to be available most afternoons, evenings, and early mornings on days when I don't have meetings. I’ll keep my schedule updated weekly to avoid double bookings. In my downtime, I love getting outside for walks— and I’d be thrilled to have the company of a new furry friend! As a dedicated and loving pet caregiver, I treat every pet as if they were my own. When caring for your pet in the comfort of your home, my priority is to create a familiar, safe, and comfortable environment. I follow your pet's routine to ensure they feel secure, whether it’s feeding, walking, playtime, or snuggles. I am attentive to your pet's needs and always keep them engaged and happy while respecting your home and boundaries. You can trust that your pet will receive the same care, affection, and attention that I would give to my own animals.

“Becky went above and beyond in taking care of our cats. She was incredibly communicative, quickly responded to our cats' many antics, and was attentive to every detail of their care. Because of her great sense of humor, we were excited every time a new Rover card was posted, where her love and care for our cats was apparent. It can be hard to leave your pets with a stranger, but we felt completely at ease knowing that Becky was taking care of them. We would recommend her to all pet parents looking for a reliable and conscientious sitter.”

“This was our first time using rover and what a great experience it was with Christine. She is a super dependable and communicative animal support person. This experience opens up the possibility for us to take off more frequently on the weekends now, something g we’ve been wanting for a few years. Thanks Christine.”

About: Ive had my cat (Rumi) for nearly 6 years and grew up raising a puppy. I’ve cat/dog sat for friends (and friends of friends) over the years and have always loved getting to spend time with their cute pets. I’m no stranger to cleaning after dogs and cats and making sure they get play and cuddles in too! I’m new to Rover but have used the app to book sitters for Rumi so I know that sitters should be reliable, punctual, and trustworthy! I hope you’ll find that when you book with me. 🐱🐶🫶🏽 I’m currently a graduate student at Berkeley but my class load isn’t too crazy so I have plenty of time to check in on your furry one! You can let me know your preferences but I’m flexible and easygoing and can get whatever you need - feeing, walking, playing, etc — done.

About: Ciao! My name is Matt and I'm very excited to have the opportunity to meet you and some of the amazing pets we have here in the city. I currently live near the rose garden/Piedmont. I live close to several other parks, and I always enjoy meeting new pet friends that come my way. I really don't have many restrictions, but all I ask is that if you are interested in meeting to discuss my services that we have great communication (whether it's email, call/text, etc.) I work from home during the week and actively get outside myself, so I'm sure we could work something out if you need help with your pet! Comfort and exercise go hand-in-hand in my experience. Play time and treats are always possible. Companionship is a must and routine is our next best friend.

“Shelly took care of our cat for about a week while we were out of town, and was a wonderful sitter! We'd gladly book with her again, thanks for all your help Shelly!”

About: I grew up caring for my own family’s dogs (Boston Terrier and Boxer) for several years and have helped neighbors, friends, and partners with their pets ever since. I am currently between jobs so my schedule is very open. I hope to work with the community’s dogs at least a few times a week while I navigate this difficult career transition. I am an incredibly responsible, caring, and loving person. Your loved ones will be my top priority whenever they are in my care. Allergies and any other health conditions or special needs will be addressed exactly as per your requests.

About: I dedicate in creating a bond of trust and affection filled with love and patience. I provide a safe and enjoyable environment for your pets. I enjoy the outdoors and being around pets. They bring me such joy and comfort and I want to be a helping hand to owners I’m pet friendly and have lots of patience. I create a bond to enable trust for it to lead to an enjoyable and exciting time.

“Lauren is fantastic and always takes wonderful care of Mini. Mini is always happy and nicely brushed when we get home from a trip. I always enjoy the photos of Mins playing and getting some pets. Lauren is professional and goes above and beyond. I highly recommend her.”

“Sam did a wonderful job checking in on our cats, including taking care of the medication for our one cat with heart disease. We really appreciated her taking care of them while we were away and would definitely re-book in the future.”

About: I've cared for dogs and cats essentially since I was born and the vast majority of my life after that. My first memories of caring for animals include toddling over to my childhood dog J.R.'s food bowl and (messily) putting his food in for him, then sitting with him while he ate. I've cared for animals in many environments, including apartments in cities, houses in the suburbs, and at free-range on large pieces of land. I'm comfortable walking dogs on leash in any situation, and off leash in some appropriate situations. I understand dog and cat body language at an intuitive level and respect all animals' boundaries and needs. I'm also comfortable with some of the less "common" pet care elements including medication administration, post-surgery care, mobility considerations, youth and senior care, and behavioral considerations. I previously volunteered with the Muttville senior dog rescue and learned a lot of useful senior care skills in that time. I'm currently a master's student pursuing my MSW and hoping to make some money to help support myself in a way that works with my school and internship schedule. I will mostly be available early mornings all days of the week, afternoon through late evening all days of the week and during the day on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. I will care for pets in my client's home in whatever way is required of me to make the client and pet most comfortable, safe, and happy. It is my belief that safety and trust are tantamount to this agreement of pet care and I take it seriously. I cannot currently offer boarding in my home.
