About: I focus on house sitting and provide calm, attentive care for dogs and cats by carefully following routines and instructions, drawing from real experience caring for dogs in familiar home environments. Pet care fits well into my routine, especially house sitting. I plan my schedule to be present, responsive, and consistent with feeding times, care instructions, and routines as agreed upon in advance. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow instructions carefully, respect house rules, and prioritize safety and cleanliness. I focus on keeping pets comfortable and secure in their familiar environment.
“Jessica was communicative and friendly! I have one scaredy cat with special needs, & she handled him wonderfully. Both of my kitties were happy and well-taken care of while I was away. Knowing that Jessica was watching my pets helped me feel comfortable & relaxed. Will certainly book again!”

“Christine is wonderful. In the past, our kitty would hide under the bed while we we away. With Christine, she is waiting for her to come. Christine has lots of playtime and treats. She is interested in interacting with my kitty. She sends pictures! She is punctual, on time. I can trust she will follow through on the items discussed. Our kitty loves her and we are super happy to have found her. I highly recommend her services.”

“Fuliang did a great job. I felt my cat Alba was well cared for. I got a nice detailed report on the last day. Could have used a picture of my cat everyday but otherwise I am a very satisfied customer and will use this sitter again for my pet sitting needs.”

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.
About: I've grown up with multiple dogs and am now happy to have my own little corgi-terrier named Karl and a black cat named Billie. I'm my friend's go-to pet sitter and have been loving getting to know the other dogs in the neighborhood. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, large dogs, and reactive dogs. I am available in the evenings on week days and anytime weekends. Please do not book recurring walks if they need to occur earlier on weekdays. I also work as a para educator, so my schedule is flexible, but I will be unavailable for up to 9 hours at a time. Pet care and safety is very important to me. My own dog has very high needs and requires a lot of attention and care, especially on walks, so I completely understand all the peculiar needs of all pets and their individual personalities.
“Jesse was so kind to accommodate for my last minute booking. He made sure my pup was taken care of and is a very considerate sitter! Appreciate the regular updates and flexibility. Will definitely recommend him for any future bookings.”


About: As a lifelong animal lover with over 20 years of experience caring for my own dogs and cats, as well as pets of friends and acquaintances, I treat every animal as if they were my own—with warmth, patience, and genuine affection. Pet owners know they can count on me for dependable, trustworthy care, whether it’s a daily visit or an extended stay. I take pride in building strong bonds with both pets and their people, offering peace of mind through consistent communication, attention to detail, and a deep commitment to each animal’s comfort and happiness. Now semi-retired and working part-time, I have the time and flexibility to give your pets the attention they deserve—whether it's for quick check-ins or extended stays, I'm here to provide loving, reliable care. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I focus on creating a calm, loving, and stress-free environment. In my clean, safe, and secure apartment, pets receive plenty of attention, playtime, and affection, with routines tailored to their needs. When visiting a client’s home, I maintain their pet’s familiar routine, ensuring comfort and consistency with feeding, walks, and companionship. My goal is always to provide reliable, nurturing care that gives both pets and their people peace of mind.

About: Love dogs, cats, and pretty much most animals in between! Since 2023, my entire life has been successfully hijacked by my own dog. I am highly trained in the art of fetching tennis and sharing half my snacks. I love clocking in serious miles on long walks, and my hands feel empty without a leash in them. Let me join your pet's entourage—they'll get a dedicated walking buddy, and you'll get total peace of mind. By day, I handle my human responsibilities, but when the evening hits and the weekend arrives, I am fully at your pet's service! My availability is locked in for weekdays after 5:00 PM and all day on Saturdays and Sundays. This means I am the perfect candidate for that post-work dinner rush or when you're out to Sur for that last minute camping trip. Because my weekend schedule is wide open, your pet gets my absolute, undivided attention. Since I’m coming to your territory, my safety protocols are built around total reliability, trust, and street-smarts. During drop-ins, I follow your exact instructions to the letter—matching your feeding routines, house rules, and weird specific habits perfectly. I am a chronic over-communicator, so you won't have to worry about me disappearing.

“Shelly was great and I came home to a very happy cat! My sitter plans fell through at the last minute, so I messaged Shelly asking if she could come over for a meet and greet the same night so she could start visiting my cat beginning the following day. I was mainly concerned with my cat getting enough human interaction while I was away. Shelly responded right away and was very prompt for our meeting. She was friendly and my cat felt comfortable w her right away. Shelly visited my cat for the 4 days I was away and I came home to a very happy and content cat. I'll be booking with her again:)”

“Cyvanah was wonderful with my baby boi Hilo. I especially appreciated the multiple photos and summaries of each day from Cyvanah. It put my mind at ease and I looked forward to each update while away. She bonded with my kitton spectacularly and he was cuddling on her lap in no time. She has a way with cats and I would trust Cyvanah with any fur baby of mine. She is professional, punctual and a great communicator.”

“Adela was great! She took excellent care of the cats and gave us regular updates, along with adorable pictures! She was also flexible and understanding when our plans changed unexpectedly!”

“Joanna was great! My senior but energetic large dog was very happy. Joanna sent photos and left detailed notes on her visits and handled the medication and feeding instructions perfectly. I look forward to going her again soon!”

About: Always been around pets (cats, dogs, hamsters, guinea pigs, rabbits, gerbil,..), I love taking care of them and watch them being cute. I'm living without animal and feel the need to take care of them so much. I'm here to help you with your babies when you have tobe away. I'll become their new bestie! I'm available everyday except Tuesdays and Thursdays when I have some classes. I work early morning until 12:30pm so I'm free the rest of the day for your little conpanions. I live in a good 1 bed apartment just nearby the Lake meritt to go on beautiful walks with doggies. I also have a balcony for some fresh air. (Will be keep closed for cats to avoid an escapade)
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats my whole life. I have seen pets through life from young to elderly, providing medications and cleaning up countless messes. Nothing will surprise me. I attune to pet personalities well: I love snuggling with the snuggly ones, take care around skittish ones, and everything in between. I am punctual and respectful of your time and space. I’m currently working part-time from home and I am available on short notice to provide care for your loved ones. I am quick to respond and can travel within the East Bay comfortably. I provide loving care in the form of house and pet-sitting, dog walking, feeding, medications, play time, snuggling, and more. I am a highly attuned individual, so I will learn your pet’s needs and meet them where they are at. I work comfortably with pets with boundaries, aggression, skittishness, and other high needs. As a house and pet-sitter, I always leave the home exactly as I found it. I respect your property and make your pet’s safety the highest priority. I will follow your guidelines to the letter and I’m happy to send you pictures to help your mind be at ease.
“I was super stressed about finding a sitter for my 11 week old pup last minute for an all day training at work, and even more nervous about having a stranger visit my place! But Alejandra had fantastic reviews and even initiated meet & greet, which I really appreciated. And when she came to meet me and MoMo - boy, did my puppy LOVE her immediately, which made ME love her too!! :) Finally, on the day of the appointment, Alejandra showed up on time, followed all my requests, and took such good care of my puppy for an hour. TYSM Alejandra, I will book with you again next time MoMo needs a sitter!! ❤️❤️❤️”

Oakland Ave-Harrison St pet parents share their Rover experiences
We are out-of-towners spending our summer in the Bay Area, so we hardly know anyone around here. This is why we are so grateful to have found William. He is an absolute cat dad and it was obvious he knows how to care for our babies. We will be repeat clients for sure.

Lauren is so sweet, communicative and detailed oriented. I originally scheduled 5 days but had to schedule one more drop-in visit day at the last minute. She was able to accommodate right away! I trust her with my timid guinea pigs. 1000/10, highly recommend ☺️

Cassandra was so great!! She was so kind with Walter, and sent me photos of how it went with him. It was also so easy to coordinate with her over text on how to get into my apartment (with a code) and on how to administer Walter's medication (oral and pill). I can't recommend more!!

Kristy was wonderful! She was very quick and responsive to helping me with my nine month old lil kitten, especially at a short notice for an unexpected work trip. She was also flexible to meet me in person beforehand to go over how to enter my place & Canela’s schedule. Kristy provided consistent photos and check-ins and kept Canela’s litter box nice and clean ✨ I would recommend Kristy and would definitely rebook whenever I’m out of town, and you should to ☺️
