House Sitting Paradise Park

“Wow! What an incredible sitter Hong was. This is the first time I have ever been away from my fur babies and not worried once. She was so communicative the entire time and I came back to happy dogs and a pristine house. If I could give her 10 stars I would! Thank you again Hong. ❤️”

“Anny was great with our three dogs, including seamlessly dealing with our not-quite-house-trained new addition's accident. She was responsive and sent regular updates, and we came home to three very happy dogs!”

“We are so fortunate to have found Linett!! Linett is so loving with our two dogs and we were relaxed on vacation knowing that she was taking care of them and our house. Linett is an excellent communicator, highly professional -- and an obvious animal lover :). She took care of every detail and sent amazing photos and videos so we knew exactly how things were going. Our dogs clearly had a very fun time. We are looking forward to having her house sit next time we are away.”

About: Hi! My name is Stephanie and I have been pet sitting for over 15 years. My love of animals has led me to initially start looking after family and friend's critters to wanting to help others as a way to care for their pets when they're busy or unable to. I have cared for both cats, dogs, even a pig, ranging from young to old. Currently, I provide daily check-ins to see how pets are doing. I also provide walks and play time so they get some engagement and aren't lonely while their owners are away on business or vacation or just busy with work. If you are looking for someone to help you with a walk, a check-in, or play time, please don't hesitate to contact me! I'm currently funemployed so my schedule is extremely flexible. For drop-ins, I drop in once in the morning at 8:30am and/or again in the evening at 6:30pm. For walks, they would be during middle of the day at around 1pm. Prior to an service, I try to communicate with pet owners about anything I should know. I prefer to over communicate to make sure everyone is on the same page and that I have everything I need to make every visit, stay, or walk successful. When visiting a client's home, I allow pets to come up to me first so they can get acquainted with me. I don't force interaction since that can break down trust. If any of the pets have soiled or damaged anything on the property, I'd document it, send it to the client, then clean up any mess. Whether I'm staying at someone's house or doing drop-ins, I give each pet lots of love and attention in the form of pets, belly rubs, and playing games with them. If they are skittish, I tend to let them approach me when they feel comfortable.

“Matthew was able to watch Charlie last minute and was great to work with. Matthew kept me updated, sent pictures, and Charlie seemed very happy and well cared for. Will definitely book again!”

About: I've been watching dogs for about 7 years now, mostly small and medium dogs, and I have a real soft spot for herding breeds. I love going on walks with them, usually around 30-45 minutes in the neighborhood, to help burn off their energy and keep them active. I especially love walking younger, energetic dogs because I can go longer with them (getting my steps in) but, I also have a big love for senior dogs and take it slower and easier for them. Every dog is different, so I like to give them what they need — whether that's a good long walk or just sweet cuddles and their own space to relax. I try to keep things calm for them the whole time they're with me. I also send lots of pictures throughout the day so you can see your pup enjoying themselves and know they're safe and having a good time. Right now I'm actually watching a friend's dog, and I'd love to bring that same care to your pup too. I do ask for at least 24 hours' notice when possible, just so I can work around everyone's schedule and be fully ready for your dog. I have a lot of flexibility right now and I'm available throughout the week and most weekends, aside from Saturday nights. That means I can usually work around whatever schedule fits you and your pet best. I prefer taking care of animals in their own home. When their family is away, that can be a stressful, uncertain time for them, so making sure they still feel safe and at home is always my top priority. I keep their routine as normal as possible — same feeding times, same walks, same spaces — so the change feels as small as possible for them. If we're at my place instead, I love watching them explore and get curious about a new environment. Helping them feel comfortable and at ease is always the most important thing to me, whether that's in their home or mine.

“Kyle was great! Took good care of my three furbabies, provided updates, sent pictures, and clarified any questions. Great in communication and left my home as tidy as I had it!”

Cecia C.

“Belinda was amazing! She is so sweet and sent tons of photos and updates throughout the stay. Ignacio loved her (rare for him to bond so quickly with new people) which shows her level of care and thoughtfulness! We would absolutely have her watch iggy again.”

Claire N.

“Ryan is an exceptional pet sitter. He’s professional diligent friendly and he loves animals. Our dog Sammy is very particular about whom he likes and Sammy loves Ryan. It’s very hard for me to leave my dog when we travel. However I never worry when Ryan is caring for him. When we return it’s obvious Sammy has been well cared for and well loved by Ryan.”

Arlene H.

“Sophia did a great job caring for our dog and cat while we were out of town for a couple nights. We appreciated her proactive and thorough communication and the updates she sent! She bonded quickly with our dog who is not always great with new people. She also gave a lot of tlc to our cat. Our house was spotless when we got home which was so nice to return to! Would definitely recommend Sophia and work with her again!”

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.

“Rong has house/pet sat for us twice now. We have two labradoodles and a small flock of chickens. Rong is great about communication and following instructions. She took good care of all our pets and made sure all their needs were met. She also communicated daily with me and provided photos to show how our pups and chickens were doing while we were away. We were very happy with her services and plan to ask her to house/pet sit again in the future!”

Cassie B.

“Tami had a GREAT connection with Lucy. She quickly figured out Lucy's personality, her likes/dislikes, favorite activities (going to the beach) and also the ins and outs of my apartment and building. Tami did a wonderful job of sending me pictures at least twice a day so that I could feel at peace that my girl was happy and being taken good care of.”

Rafael C.

“Maria is terrific. She arrived on time and immediately bonded with our dog. She gave him lots of attention and took him for a walk. When we returned home, he was cuddled up against her. She also kept our house neat and clean. I highly recommend her.”

Jack G.

“Agnes is friendly attentive responsible and communicative. Our pets and our home were respected, very well cared, for during our week away. We would be happy to have Agnes in our home and caring for our pets again!”

Kaya S.

“Isaiah is fantastic! He has say with our pups on 3 occasions for long periods of time, and he sends multiple photos and daily updates. I know my pups are in great hands when I have to leave them! ❤️🐾❤️”

“Barbara was a fantastic dog sitter for our pups! She was very communicative, and took great care of the dogs and house. Can't wait to use her services again!”
