Pet Sitting Patten

“This was the first time Sydney dropped in on my cat Mystery for me. From the start in it was a great experience. Sydney has great energy, good communication and showed genuine care for my cat Mystery. I recieved a detailed update with pictures. I will definitely be booking her again!”

About: I’ve spent much of my life caring for animals and genuinely love earning their trust. In high school, I worked in dog and cat boarding at a local veterinary practice, where I gained hands on experience caring for pets with different personalities, temperaments, and needs. Since then, I’ve continued pet and house sitting for friends, family, and clients, volunteered with shelter dogs and cats through the PSPCA, and cared for a wide variety of animals including dogs, cats, rabbits, iguanas, ducks, quail, chickens, and fish. After spending the past eight months traveling and pet sitting, I’ve recently made the Bay Area my home. While I’m new to Rover, I’m not new to caring for pets. My goal is simple: to give you peace of mind while you’re away. I’ll care for your pets like family, communicate thoughtfully, and leave your home just as clean and cared for as you left it. My schedule is currently very flexible! I am especially interested in connecting with those in need of in home sitters while I am traveling, but open to day time walks and visits as well. I am a former real estate broker, used to have my own small business. I am taking some time out to work on my art, learn some tech skills, and travel. I am not able to care for pets in my home at this time as my apartment would require a hefty deposit. I am looking forward to working and traveling while using this app!

“My 3 pups loved Laura instantly! She’s a great communicator and punctual. 2 of my dogs are young and can be a lot to manage and I totally trust Laura to manage them”

“Qishu was great! She helped us out last minute on walk/feeding our two pups. She sent lots of great pics and we could tell they were well taken care of even though we’ve never before had a walker come that we hadn’t met prior.”

“Melissa was very easy to communicate and clearly cared about our cats, playing and sending a lot of great photos. We recommend Melissa for taking care of your pets while you are away”

“Rachel was great with our two cats. She followed all instructions perfectly. We loved getting our pet pics! Would absolutely recommend and rehire her in the future.”

Ivonne N.

“Avery was great! Our cats just loved her as shown in the photos we received. She was on time, followed instructions, kept everything clean, and was a great communicator. We felt safe leaving our pets in her hand. We highly recommend Avery and will definitely book her again.”

“Haylee was absolutely awesome. She took such great care of my two kitties. They were totally calm and happy upon my return—I know they appreciated her attention and care while I was gone.”

About: I’ve had dogs for years and always look forward to help friends and family look after their pets. I enjoy looking after and bathing animals. I myself have 3 dogs and 3 guinea pigs so I genuinely love caring for animals. I work part time during nights so I’m available all day every day to love and care for your pets. I’m also in school but it’s mostly online. I follow instructions when caring for pets in other peoples homes because it’s their home so I want them to be comfortable and trust me coming into their space.

“Cara was so caring, responsive, and also very responsible. I was initially worried about leaving my cat for two weeks but I left him in very good hands with Cara. I especially appreciated all the photos she sent and the little daily updates! My cat loved her. I was able to relax knowing that I had a very sweet and reliable sitter.”

“Vania was so sweet with our 8 mo old puppies! We felt at ease during our travels. She took them on long walks and even gave them a bath since the days were quite warm. Thank you again Vania!”

Jeanette G.

“Devyn was the sweetest and took great care of our fur babies during each drop in visit this past weekend. The updates and photos that she sent us each day made us feel like our pets were safe and comfortable with her. One of our pets, Dexter, is a little tough to crack, but Devyn was able to get her to open up to her a bit more with her favorite toy! We can't wait to book Devyn again and highly recommend her to anyone needing a reliable and sweet pet sitter for their pets!!”

“Melina did such a great job drooping in and feeding my elderly cat, Momo. She was prompt with timing and sent lots of pictures and updates. I could tell that Momo really liked her 🥰 would definitely recommend Melina to anyone!!”

Bridgette P.

“Angela was great. She came and did a meet-and-greet with my pet. My dog has some specific needs and Angela accommodated all of them. She is great with communication and is hasty with responses. Would definitely recommend.”

About: Hi, I’m Lynn! 👋 Nice to meet you :) __________________________________ If your dog loves fresh air, exploring new paths, and coming home completely tuckered out, they’re going to love hanging out with me. Or we can just take a stroll around the neighborhood, play with lots of toys, and snuggle up on the couch!☀️ __________________________________ I'm a passionate, patient, and friendly dog lover who believes every pup deserves a fun-filled day! I love meeting new furry friends and I am experienced with dogs of all shapes and sizes. Being a dog mom myself, I treat every pup like absolute royalty - gentle pets, belly rubs, lots of happy praise + treats, and maybe a little photoshoot if we have the time!🌸🌺✨ __________________________________ Safety is ALWAYS my top priority. I’m incredibly mindful of terrain, weather, and hydration, ensuring a tiny Chihuahua gets the same careful attention and safe handling as an enthusiastic German Shepherd. From dealing with the zoomies to offering patient guidance, I treat every dog like family!! :) __________________________________ When your pup is with me, you can expect a reliable schedule, plenty of updates, and a very happy, sleepy dog returned to your doorstep. 🧡🧡💚💚 ___________________ Let’s get your best friend out on their next great adventure! 🐾 🌳 🌲 🥾 🐕 • Monday through Friday: I wfh 6am-1pm most days so flexible morning, afternoon, or evening.

About: i’ve been a dog mom for 20+ years and have basically had dogs my whole life. i trained my own dog from puppyhood and i’ve helped friends (and other pet parents) with basic training and routine stuff too. i’ve taken multiple training classes, so i’m comfortable with things like leash manners, boundaries, and reinforcing good behavior in a calm, consistent way. i’m naturally really good with dogs and i’m great at reading their body language, even the ones that are anxious, reactive, or “don’t usually like people.” i’m patient, confident, and i keep things low-stress so pups feel safe and listened to. i work from home, so i’ve got plenty of time to give your pup real attention throughout the day (not just quick check-ins). i’m happy to do multiple walks a day, and since i’m near downtown oakland, we’ve got plenty of great walk routes, lake merritt, nearby parks, and lots of good “sniffari” streets. in my home, your pup gets a safe, relaxed setup with lots of attention. i have a fenced patio so they can hang in the sun and get fresh air, and inside they’ll have plenty of room to stretch out, lounge, and roam comfortably. we’ve also got nearby open spaces, fields, and trails for walks and play. depending on your dog and what you’re comfortable with, i can do off-leash play (only where it’s safe/appropriate) or keep everything leashed, solo adventures or playtime with my dogs if your pup enjoys company. i’m big on following your routine and keeping things consistent: feeding schedules, meds, crate time, training cues, slow introductions, whatever your dog needs. i’m totally comfortable with seniors, shy/anxious pups, and dogs with special instructions. and if your dog would do best with more backyard time, i can also utilize my girlfriend’s place nearby with a fully fenced backyard for extra outdoor play/sniff time (with your permission).

About: I have experience with dogs of all shapes and sizes! I have 2 golden doodles in the family and have trained 3 puppies over the past 7 years. I have experience caring for pups ranging from 150lb English Mastiffs to 6lb Papillons. I’m currently job seeking and new to the area, so I have plenty of time throughout the day to play with your pup! Seeking both regular and flexible opportunities. I care for my own pets by making sure their wants and needs are met. I love spending time outdoors and love going for long walks with my own pups.

“Love having Sage come over to watch our cat Bonnie. Always provides great updates and I can tell the cat is super happy whenever they're checking up on her!”
