About: 🐾Love By Pets. Recommended by humans. Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with decades of hands-on experience caring for animals of all ages, sizes, breeds, temperaments, and care levels. Improving the lives of animals is my passion. Every pet that enters my care is treated like family, receiving the same love, patience, respect, protection and individualized attention I would want for my own beloved pets. Whether you have a puppy, a fragile senior, a pregnant or nursing mother, a shy rescue, or a pet with medical, behavioral, or anxiety-related challenges, I provide compassionate, personalized care tailored to their unique needs. My goal is to create a safe, enriching, stress-free and FUN experience that allows pets to thrive while giving their owners complete peace of mind. ✨ Experience Includes: • All ages. Puppies, kittens (bottle feeding ok 👍🏻), seniors, and hospice care • Pregnant animals and nursing mothers • Medication administration and specialized care plans • Medical, behavioral, and anxiety-related conditions • Fearful, reactive, rescue, and special-needs pets • Giant breeds (120–200+ lbs), toy breeds, and everything in between • Bully breeds, guardian breeds, working dogs, and high-drive breeds • Exotic and specialty felines • Birds, reptiles, and small animals • Multi-pet households My experience extends far beyond traditional pet sitting. I have spent years working with animal rescues and participating in Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) and community cat programs, helping care for and advocate for vulnerable animals. These experiences have given me a deep understanding of animal behavior, body language, trust-building, and how to safely handle pets with a wide range of personalities and backgrounds. I have also been honored to participate in efforts supporting families through the Make-A-Wish Foundation, including helping facilitate meaningful visits for children whose wish was to spend time with animals and pets. These experiences further strengthened my commitment to compassion, reliability, and providing comfort during life’s most meaningful moments. Caring for others—both human and animal—is at the heart of everything I do. Communication is one of my highest priorities. You’ll receive regular updates, photos, and honest communication throughout your pet’s stay so you can relax and enjoy your time away knowing your family member is safe, happy, and loved. 💗 What Makes My Care Different? • Personalized, one-on-one attention for the duration • Flexible and accommodating scheduling • Solo daycare available upon request • Extended stays welcome • Customized routines tailored to your pet • Calm, loving, family-oriented environment • Experience with pets requiring advanced handling skills • Care from someone who genuinely loves animals and understands their individual needs Many of my clients become long-term members of my pet-care family. I’m proud to have earned the trust of repeat clients who rely on me to care for everything from tiny teacups and exotic pets to giant breeds, working dogs, bully breeds, seniors, rescues, and pets with complex medical or behavioral needs. I understand that leaving your pet with someone else is a big decision. That’s why I focus on building trust, maintaining open communication, and ensuring every pet feels safe, comfortable, understood, and loved from the moment they arrive. I look forward to welcoming your furry, feathered, or scaly family member and giving them the same level of care, compassion, and attention I would give my own. Because every pet deserves more than just a sitter—they deserve family. 🐾💕 My schedule revolves around pet care already. Caring for animals has been a major part of my daily life for many years through pet care/sitting/walking etc, animal rescue work, and caring for my own pets. While your pet is with me, this is their time and all of my focus and attention is on them for the duration of the booking. This allows me to provide frequent potty breaks, exercise, enrichment, playtime, companionship, medication administration when needed, and plenty of supervision throughout the day. I strive to keep pets on their normal routine as much as possible so they feel safe, comfortable, and at home while you’re away. Whether your pet needs extra attention, a flexible schedule, or specialized care, I’m happy to accommodate their individual needs. Every pet is unique, so I tailor my care to each animal’s individual personality, routine, and needs. Before every booking, I take the time to learn about feeding schedules, exercise requirements, medications, favorite activities, fears, quirks, and any special instructions. Owner guidance and instructions are key to providing the best possible booking and any information provided will be followed closely (and greatly appreciated!). One thing that sets my care apart is that I do not use kennels or crates unless they are already part of your pet’s normal routine and you specifically request it. My goal is for pets to feel comfortable, secure, and at home—not confined unnecessarily. For families looking for a more personalized experience, I also offer accommodations such as Private Doggy Daycare, Private Kitty Daycare, Private Canine Camp, and Private Kitty Camp, where your pet can be the only guest in my care for the duration of their stay. I am always happy to discuss special requests and customize care whenever possible. Whether caring for a tiny breed, a giant breed, a working dog, a bully breed, a senior pet, or a rescue animal with unique needs, safety, comfort, and individualized attention always come first.
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life. I grew up with my childhood dog and cared for him for 17 years until he passed away. I now have three huskies, so taking care of dogs is a big part of my everyday life. I’m reliable, patient, and comfortable with high-energy dogs. I know how important it is to have someone you trust taking care of your pets while you’re away, and I’ll follow their normal routine, give them plenty of attention, and keep you updated with pictures along the way. I’m available throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays. I’m happy to coordinate schedules in advance and keep your pet’s normal routine as consistent as possible while you’re away. I’ll follow the routine and instructions you leave for your pets and make sure they’re safe and comfortable while in my care. I’m careful when coming and going, especially with doors, gates, and leashes. I’ll also treat your home with the same care and respect I would my own and keep you updated while you’re away.
About: Hiii I’m lucero:))! I’ve been around dogs my whole life and love being around them. I’ve had a corgi before and know my way around an energetic dog if ykyk haha. But overall I love taking care of dogs , I’m someone who deeply cares in the importance of taking care of an animal since I’ve a had a dog before and have two cats of my own right now. My goal is to be able to provide a safe, loved, and comfortable environment for your dog while you’re away. What sets me apart from other sitters is I’m patient and attentive. I take the time to build trust with each dog rather than expect that each dog will trust me instantly. I’ll follow instructions down to every detail and keep you updated! Those are aspects I really value too and will make it a priority for you:). I have open availability and able to provide weekly routines for your pet! I’m available for drop ins and pet sitting! Availability on weekdays and weekends at anytime!:) As a dog and cat owner myself, I understand how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pets with someone. I’ll provide a safe, loving environment, follow their routine, and keep you updated with photos and messages.
About: I currently have a dog and have had another dog previously. I currently work in special education and also support my mother who has progressing dementia. I intend on making sure needs are being met while maintaining and building relationships. I’m working full time as a teacher and going to school full-time. I currently walk my dog the morning before going to work and when I arrive home. I’m flexible on the weekends and some week days. Since I work for the school I get a lot of holidays and week breaks, so I am able to have more availability. I ensure their needs are met by taking them for walks, feeding them, and ensuring they’re using the bathroom. I also give baths to keep them smelling fresh.
“Eleanor did an amazing job with my dog, Bruno! We were out of town for 5 days and she went above and beyond for us. Our main need was dog walks but also we asked for her to help water the plants, feed our dog and make sure he has water and put our trash bins on the curb on trash day. She was amazing and so helpful with eve we asked. 100% recommend her! Thank you, Eleanor!!”
“Another great booking with Victoria. This was one of the longest times I’ve had someone watch my cats. But I wasn’t worried about anything while I was on my vacation. Victoria took great care of my home and my cats. We did our usual once a day check ins and even then I knew everything was fine without having to ask!”
About: About booking with me: -I need to do a meet and greet with new clients before I will sit. If you cancel a meet and greet I can't do the job. - I can provide a daily update with photos :) - While you are away I may have questions so please be able to have a way to answer them. And also incase of an emergency. I was a certified dog trainer at Petsmart. I have watched dog's with diabetes's and with epilepsy, and my own dog, Melody, had heart issues so I have to give her medication twice daily, pills. I have house sat and pet sat for many friends and family. I love doing it, I love meeting new animals. I love all animal's really. I’d be happy to do drop-in visits for your pets! 🐾 I can stop by twice a day for about an hour each visit to give them some love, attention, playtime, and make sure they’re doing well. 💕 I love cuddling with fur babies, or just hanging out with your pet for a while so they don't feel lonely. I will stop by and take care of your fur baby.
About: Hi! I've been a house sitter for around 8 years for family friends as well as family members. There have been various sized animals that I got to take care of, and ranged from a few weeks old to senior ages. I also have 5 dogs at my family home along with one cat and one snake. Currently, I work as an office manager at a fine jewelry store and work 5 days a week. I am looking to help families on vacation or anyone local looking for services that I can provide on my free time. I do work around 8 hour shifts and would need to verify the animal will be okay with being along for that period of time. I currently am on a schedule with family members that we all contribute to feeding the animals. I will tend to walk the dogs around four times weekly and take my cat outside for some time in the mornings. When servicing friends and families animals/homes I tend to the cleaning, medication times for pets, water plants, and make sure things are tidy.
“My first time using Rover but I'm glad I found Keila! It was very reassuring to know someone great was checking in on our fur baby. Keila was very communicative and tried to send pics of our pet every visit. I really appreciate all that you did during the week. Thank you for everything, we will definitely use you again in the future!!”
“Elizabeth was fantastic! I needed a last minute weekend visit for my old man cat, and she was amazing. Followed the care needs, but more importantly left really amazing detailed notes from the visits and great photos. I felt so relieved with her visits, and I could tell my cat loved her as well.”
About: I have always had pets including fish, cats, dogs and a chinchilla. I have pet sit 4 dogs at a time and house sat for family and friends. Over the summer I work, go to school and play sports part time, but I have a good amount of time in the morning and afternoon to check in on all animals! I have a fenced backyard, friendly dogs and experience with dogs and cats. In your home I will ask for specific instructions on pet and home care to ensure the best care and experience with your pets!
About: Currently taking reservation for November and December!! Christmas sitting still available on calendar :) Hello! My name is Hosana and I am currently an undergraduate college student at UCSD. I have loved animals for as long as I could remember! Growing up in a smaller home, I was never able to own a dog of my own, but being obsessed with animals, I wouldn't let this stop me from being around them an gaining as much experience as I could by taking care of pets for friends and family throughout my life. Eventually I started working at a local doggy daycare/ pet boarding facility in Walnut Creek known as, North Main Pet Lodge. I have about a year's worth of experience working professionally with a multitude of different dog breeds and taking care of their daily needs. I've worked with both dogs and cats, and other small animals such as hamsters, rabbits, and such and know how to administer medication, bathe, feed, and do other tasks related to pet care. Staying flexible and knowing how to deal with all sorts of situations is something I have come to be very acquainted with through my work experience. Communication is of big importance to me and making sure all pet parents stay informed throughout their stay away from their pets. Currently I am working on my finishing my degree online and no longer need to attend classes on campus. Therefore I will be in the bay area permanently and am looking to work with those who need the occasional sitter. Have been actively sitting for my clients since 2025. Please feel free to contact me and help this college student out with your business, as I also look forward to spending time with your pets! Thanks for reading :) Currently taking online classes. Would be ideal for pet parents who want someone to be at the house often for daily routine, but also able to step away for up to 4 hrs at a time few days of the weekdays (usually Mon, Fri). Weekends I am almost always available all day. Almost always at home for morning, afternoon potty breaks, evening, overnight. When in a client's home, the pet's safety and health are my number one concern. With my experience, I have learned several tricks that help with a variety of temperaments and personalities that each dog has. I also believe in being respectful of my client's homes and will take that very seriously. Overall, any specific concerns or lists can be communicated to me and I will make sure to keep an open line of communication.
“Jess was very attentive to our two adult cats and respectful to our care instructions. She provided consistent updates while we were away. We would gladly ask her to take care of our cats again!”
“Tessa is truly a hidden gem! Not only did she take wonderful care of our cats and shower them with attention, but she also looked after our home and plants beautifully. She responded quickly to our messages, and when we returned, the house was spotless, as if she had never been there. We couldn’t recommend her more highly!”
“I will definitely use Kelsee's services the next time we travel. She was always pleasant and flexible. I could not have asked for better. She gave us just enough contact with text and photos to keep us comfortable. We knew our 20-year-old cat was in good hands. She also kept the wild birds fed and potted plants watered. Thank you Kelsee!”
About: Local to Bay Area/Crockett for 2026 holiday sitting — I am very interested in providing my services ASAP, please reach out if you’re interested in booking! Happy to answer any and all questions. Thanks. Hi friend! I am an animal lover through and through and I’d love to better utilize my flexibility by being a compassionate resource to those pets who need some extra love, attention, support, exercise, or fresh air when you’re simply not as available as you wish you could be. I have been entrusted to dogsit for several friends pups (of all sizes) and many cats, and was lucky enough to share 13 years with my dog Gunther and 12 years with my gray shorthair cat Wilbur. My darling 14-year-old kitty now gets all the extra love! I look forward to lightening your load and showing your pet the same love and attention I’d show my own! Availability flexible for now, may be more restricted in the future. I look forward to meeting your pet, please do not hesitate to ask me if you have any questions at all. ♥️ *Currently accepting requests within a ~25 mile radius of Crockett, CA - just ask!*

Kieran was super nice and was always on time . He did everything I asked for and though my very shy cat never came out from under the bed , Kieran was fantastic in taking care of her and doing everything that I asked him to do ! I will absolutely hire him again and definitely recommend him to anyone who is looking for a reliable pet sitter thanks Kieran
We were nervous hiring someone for the first time and Tina’s profile stood out. We met her in person before the services and she seemed like a wonderful person. She watched our cat for 2 days and we got so many pictures and videos. Our boy liked her from the moment he met her during meet and greet and I think she liked him too. Wonderful service and we highly recommend her. We are happy to have found someone that we can use again to watch our pets. Thank you Tina

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
