About: I have professional experience as a Pet Care Assistant, providing safe, attentive care for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I also raised and trained puppies through Guide Dogs for the Blind, where I taught basic obedience, socialization, and positive reinforcement. I prioritize each pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness while maintaining clear communication with pet owners. My hands-on experience, patience, and genuine love for animals allow me to provide reliable, compassionate care that pet owners can trust. Pet care fits well into my weekly routine. I currently work part-time, which gives me flexibility to care for pets throughout the week, including mornings, evenings, weekends, and holidays with advance notice. I enjoy staying active, and spending time with animals is something I genuinely look forward to. I am dependable, organized, and committed to providing consistent, reliable care. My top priority is keeping every pet safe, comfortable, and happy. In my clients’ homes, I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions if needed, exercise routines, and any specific care requests. I closely monitor pets for changes in behavior and use positive reinforcement and calm handling techniques to help them feel secure. I also maintain a clean environment, ensure doors and gates remain secure, and provide regular updates so owners can feel confident their pets are receiving excellent care.
“Femke was the best! She clicked with Fernet immediately and from the photos she sent, he spent most of our trip on her lap :). Femke was incredibly communicative and made sure we had daily updates with photos and videos of thier adventures. Would definitely book again!”
“Satine did a great job watching my pup! She was thorough when taking down instructions for care. She sent regular updates and cute pics! Overall I would recommend Satine for dog sitting”
“I can’t recommend Colin highly enough. He was responsive, reliable, and genuinely attentive to my dog’s needs from the start. Communication was clear and consistent, with thoughtful updates and photos that gave me real peace of mind. Maggie came back happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. It’s obvious he treats every pet with patience and kindness. I will continue to use him every time I need a sitter and wouldn’t choose anyone else. Truly an excellent, dependable caregiver.”
“Jessica did a great job! She housesat for me and took great care of my dog and two cats. She was so professional and communicative and left my space so clean! Will definitely be booking with her again.”
“Merci was an incredible house/dog sitter! So considerate of our two dogs (who can both be quite a handful). Excellent communication, lots of pictures and thoughtful updates. Our two dogs were enriched by Merci!”
“Kristin is very responsible in her communications and her committment to times of arrival. I have used her twice now and both times she made a special accomodation to stop by early on the way to work so I could get my dog Lucy "used to her" and wouldn't be surprised in the afternoon. Throughout the stay, Kristin sent me a good amount of pictures and updates at least twice a day, often three. I highly recommend Kristin.”
“The kitties were very calm when we returned, and we assume this is because they had great company in Cameron. Cameron stayed overnight for the weekend and we'd do it again!”
About: I grew up living with and taking care of two dogs, a cat and a bunny! I was a neighborhood babysitter, pet-sitter and house-sitter for most of my time in high-school. After I came to college, I wasn't as well-connected with my neighbors and didn't have a pet of my own which forced me into a brief stint of pet-less life :(( I just graduated from UC Berkeley and am super excited to restart my pet-care journey! I am a recent graduate from UC Berkeley who will be working remotely, so I will have a lot of time on my hands! No set schedule yet, but will have flexible hours. I have great intuition when it comes to pet-care and am excited to be communicative about what your pets' specific needs are! I am super comfortable staying the night and/or house sitting if that is what your furry friend needs.
“Emily was amazing. Professional, polite, very responsive, trustworthy, and most importantly took great care of our home and doggos. Wouldn't hesitate to work with Emily again. 10/10.”
“Leslie did a great job sitting Nash! By the pictures she sent you could tell he was having a great time at the park. Thanks for watching my baby over the holiday!”
“Jessica was super respectful of our home, took wonderful care of our high energy dog and checked in regularly, asking great questions that showed she really cared about our dog and home. Definitely the best Rover sitter we’ve ever had!”
“I had a wonderful experience with Ariana! She was incredibly reliable, communicative, and accommodating throughout the entire process. Most importantly, she took such great care of my dog, and it gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. She was attentive to both my dog’s needs and my own requests, always making sure everything was handled thoughtfully and professionally. It was clear that she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after, and my pup was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable, kind, and caring pet sitter. Thank you for taking such great care of my baby!”
“Needed a pet sitter for one night in San Francisco and luckily found Joe. He was very trustworthy and listened to all our needs for our pets. Also very good at communicating and sending pics and vids of our two girls. Would recommend Joe to anyone looking for care for your pets!”
“Caitlin was awesome with my “little” 110lb Great Dane Cody while I was out of town for the week. Very respectful of the house, communicated well about questions or issues, and consistent with ensuring food and potty breaks happened. It was great being able to enjoy my trip out of the country without having to worry. Both my dog and I had fun vacations.”
“Alexandra was an amazing cat sitter! She kept me updated throughout the stay, sent plenty of pictures, and stayed in touch the entire time. My cat was happy and well cared for, and the house was left spotless. Highly recommend her!”
About: I have lived with dogs, cats, birds, and other small animals my entire life (30+ years) and have had my own dog and cat for the last 10 years. Through fostering, volunteering, and training, I have extensive experience raising puppies, caring for seniors, administering daily medication, and training and managing complex behavior challenges (specifically, dog reactivity). I have a particular interest in positive reinforcement training and behavior, including working with leash reactivity, fear, overstimulation, and impulse control. I believe every interaction with a dog is an opportunity to build confidence, strengthen communication, and make their day a little better. When caring for your dog or cat, I’ll tailor our time together to your and their preferences. Whether that’s physical activity, a slow sniffy walk, fetch, enrichment/puzzle feeders/toys, or just time together, I will make it happen. I want their routine to feel as close to yours as possible! I’m also very comfortable caring for cats and regularly provide drop-in visits for feline friends. I understand that cats have unique personalities and routines, so I’m happy to meet them where they are whether that’s interactive playtime or quietly earning their trust while making sure their needs are met. As a pet parent myself, I know how much trust it takes to hand someone your keys and the care of a beloved family member. I treat every home with respect, communicate proactively, send detailed updates with plenty of photos, and pay close attention to the little details that help your pet feel safe and happy while you’re away. I work from home full time so I have the flexibility to spend quality time with your pet. I personally am extremely active so fully welcome opportunities to get out for walks, hikes, or drop in visits. I have lived with dogs mg entire life and recognize the importance of ensuring a safe, comfortable home. I’m attentive to details like ensuring secure door closures, and in-home preferences like keeping pets off the couch or ensuring nothing unsafe is within reach. Just tell me what’s important to keep an eye on.

Once again, Shihua was an amazingggggg sitter! This was my first time leaving town since I had gotten Ivey and was naturally anxious and emotional. Shihua’s experience, knowledge, and care for Ivey helped to keep me at ease. She was so on top of updates and how the day went. I received so many pictures and videos of my little one while I was gone. I knew that Ivey was left in safe and trusting hands!
Michael was great and helped me with housesitting my kitty. He was very communicative and sent me daily updates with lots of videos and photos of Carrot which I really appreciated, being a worried cat mom. He was super with her and she clearly enjoyed her time with him which was evident from the videos/photos. He is also trustworthy and very thoughtful and my place was cleaner when I got home than how I left it. I highly recommend Michael.
Couldn't be happier with Catherine's care of my dogs and home! Cat provided House (and pet) Sitting services for me while I was away for the better part of a week. She is a great communicator, responsible, capable, and trustworthy. In addition to ensuring that the dogs had routine walks, a consistent presence, and plenty of affection, Cat capably and responsibly took in stride the special needs of one dog, and daily medication administration for the other. Her daily updates were appreciated, and the daily photos showed 2 very happy and balanced dogs - their faces and body language don't lie. :) I can highly recommend Cat for your pets and home. She's a gem!
I appreciate Michaela taking my last minute booking after another sitter canceled. She was prompt and conscientious. She texted me for clarification when my instructions weren’t clear instead of just guessing. Received daily updates and arrived home to happy pets and a clean home. She even left some fresh flowers and dropped off a package at UPS for me.
Jasper is AMAZING! It was such a great experience, Jasper helped me during OSL weekend and took care of my baby with love and attention!! Jasper was very understanding and flexible with my request, so I am grateful for this stay and looking to more further bookings! <3
Max is one of the best Rover sitters I’ve ever had. He did an exceptional job taking care of our senior rescue dogter, Dolce. He arrived on time, took her out for long walks in the neighborhood, followed instructions, and provided updates throughout the day. Most importantly, Dolce quickly felt very comfortable with Max. I highly recommend Max for your sitting needs!
Kimberly helped us out with our puppy for two days, and we had such a great experience with her. Our dog, Juno, is 17 weeks old and still waiting on her final round of vaccines, so we needed someone we could trust to care for her at home during the workday. Juno tends to be a little shy and nervous around new people, but she warmed up to Kimberly right away, which was wonderful to see. Kimberly was incredibly patient with her and spent time working on socialization, training, and practice walks, while most importantly making sure our pup was happy and well cared for throughout the day. I would definitely recommend Kimberly to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and patient to care for their pup—especially if you have a puppy who needs a little extra time and understanding to feel comfortable.
Merci house sat our two dogs and two cats for a three day weekend (we have worked with Merci several times now). She completed all the tasks we requested, even put the waste/recycle bins at curbside. She's reliable and responsible, we will definitely use her again.
Vivian is just the most thoughtful sitter. Sherman is a huge fan, which is high praise for someone as shut down and anxious as this little guy! We really appreciate the help and felt 100% confident that Sherman was doing just fine with Vivian while we were away. Thank you!
