Pet Sitting Pleasant Hill

About: I'm a retired officer, background-checked through Rover, and have more than 10 years of experience caring for my own dogs as well as friends', family members', and clients' pets. Throughout my career and personal life, responsibility, trustworthiness, and attention to detail have always been important to me, and I bring those same qualities to every pet I care for. In 2016, I adopted Barney the Shih Tzu, followed by Jack in 2019. Both were estimated to be about four years old at the time. In 2025, Jack passed away from bone cancer, giving me firsthand experience caring for a senior dog with significant medical needs. In 2022, I rescued Penny, the white pup in my profile photo. Certifications & Experience • Cat & Dog First Aid (American Red Cross) • Experience administering oral medications • Experience caring for senior pets and pets with special needs • Experience caring for dogs and cats of various ages, sizes, and temperaments, including a large Rottweiler I believe every pet deserves patience, kindness, consistency, and individualized care. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, senior and slower-paced, or simply happiest sticking to a familiar routine, my goal is to provide dependable care while helping them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine, and I'm home much of the time. This allows me to provide regular companionship, potty breaks, feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and supervision throughout the day. Because I intentionally limit the number of pets I care for at one time, I am able to provide a more personalized level of attention and maintain a calmer environment for the pets in my care. Whether caring for pets in my home or in a client's home, I strive to maintain their normal routine as closely as possible. Consistency helps pets feel comfortable, secure, and relaxed while their owners are away. My schedule is generally flexible, allowing me to accommodate a variety of care needs, including daycare, overnight care, drop-in visits, and pet sitting in a client's home. Pick-up and drop-off service may be available depending on distance and scheduling. My dogs are part of the family and spend much of their time relaxing near us, on the furniture, or curled up on a lap. Visiting pets are treated with the same level of care, attention, and companionship while in my home. Dogs are welcome on furniture unless owners request otherwise. I intentionally limit the number of guest dogs I accept at one time to help create a calm, safe, and low-stress environment. This allows me to provide close supervision and a more personalized experience than many high-volume pet care settings. If you prefer your dog to be crated for sleeping, feeding, or when unattended, I'm happy to accommodate as long as a crate is provided. Visiting dogs should be reasonably housebroken, with exceptions considered on a case-by-case basis for puppies and special circumstances. Meet-and-greets are strongly preferred whenever possible before services begin. They allow me to learn about your pet's personality, needs, and comfort level while helping determine whether my home and care style are a good fit. When caring for pets in a client's home, I respect both the pet's routine and the owner's home, providing dependable care, companionship, exercise, and attentive supervision. I believe every pet deserves patience, kindness, consistency, and respect. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable environment where pets can feel relaxed, secure, and well cared for while their owners are away.

About: We have a busy, loving home with 3 kids, one cat, & two dogs. If your dog loves to be with a busy family, we're the right place for you. I have many years of pet care experience including veterinary care and dog training experience (specifically, I've trained my own dogs through the Petsmart dog training program and passed the Canine Good Citizen test). I'm very comfortable around all types of dogs and animals. I've always treated my pets as part of our family and would always treat any animal in my care with the same devotion. We have three kids (ages 14-16) and they are all used to animals and they are very caring and love to play with all the dogs when they come home from school. The cats can easily avoid the dogs if they want to as they have their own outdoor catio and room. We keep our air conditioner on for our dog already during hot days so any dogs with thick fur will feel very comfortable. There's no carpet in our house so potty issues are easier to manage as well. I work from home, so other than errands or short outings the dogs have someone home with them nearly all the time. We have a gated kitchen so dogs can be separated if needed. We have a large fenced yard with a covered patio and when it’s too hot to be outside, the dogs are in the air conditioned house with us.

About: Been around dogs my whole life! Friends and family have relied on me to love and care for their dogs when they aren’t able to! Love doggos and just looking for some fun ones to spend time with :) I just moved here to join my husband and just want to fill the part of the days when I’m bored! I love getting out and walking, thought having a new companion with just me or with Dax too would be a blast! I will care for your pets in anyway you need! Great at following directions and will take care of your pet as if it were my own.

“Wonderful sitter and would definitely use her services again! Gen took great care of my dog and tortoise at my home while I was out of town. She followed my instructions regarding feedings and walks perfectly and even went the extra mile and brought in my mail, opened and closed curtains, brought up my garbage cans and watered plants as needed. My dog immediately liked her and when I got home I could tell he was happy and well cared for. She played ball, took him on walks around the neighborhood and to the park, and even tucked him in his dog bed at night. I loved all the cute pictures and regular updates she sent me. I felt completely at ease to enjoy my vacation knowing my pets were in such excellent hands. I will definitely be recommending her to all my friends and family the next time they are in need of an outstanding sitter! 😊”

“Tatiana was amazing and went above and beyond caring for our two cats, especially one who demands a lot of attention. She was communicative and left the house cleaner than we left it. I could tell she truly cared about our kitties which was helpful for a first time Rover user like me!”

About: I am a responsible and caring pet lover who enjoys spending time with animals. While I don’t have professional pet-sitting experience, I have helped care for pets of friends and family, including feeding, walking, playing, and providing companionship. I am patient, reliable, and will treat your pets with the same care and attention I would give my own. I am a stay-at-home mom with a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide reliable and attentive care throughout the day. I spend most of my time at home or running local errands, so I can easily fit pet visits, walks, feeding, and playtime into my routine. My partner also has a flexible schedule and is happy to help when needed, allowing us to provide consistent care and attention for your pets. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I will follow your instructions carefully regarding feeding, exercise, medications, and routines to help your pet feel secure and comfortable. I understand that every pet has different needs and personalities, and I will provide patient, loving care while keeping you updated with photos and messages. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to create a safe, stress-free experience.

“Kamila was very knowledgeable and understood what was needed for my critters. She also sent pictures and updates and asked questions when needed. Very happy with Kamila and definitely book again next time.”

About: I am a college and I am the proud owner of three cats and work with dogs ranging from puppies to seniors as my part time job. I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time to play and care for your pets from house sitting if needed to dog walking during the afternoon I make sure that first there basic needs are met that they are first safe in there home and happy. Anything off is immediately checked and cared for if needed.

About: I’ve cared for all types of dogs, big and small, easygoing and more challenging personalities. I understand that every dog is different, and I take the time to learn what makes each one comfortable and happy. I’m also a dog owner myself and currently have a Basenji and a Border Collie, so I’m very familiar with both high-energy breeds and dogs that need plenty of mental stimulation and exercise. I live an active lifestyle and enjoy keeping dogs engaged with activities like walks, runs, and even bike or skateboard sessions for high energy pups that enjoy it. At the same time, I’m very patient and attentive with dogs that need a calmer approach. Safety is always my top priority, and my goal is to make sure every dog feels secure, exercised, and has a great time. I currently work full time during the week but have reliable availability on weekends for walks, drop-ins, and pet care. I’m flexible on Saturdays and Sundays and can accommodate morning, afternoon, or evening visits depending on your dog’s routine. I’m happy to work with owners to find times that fit their pet’s needs. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I take the time to understand each dog’s personality, energy level, and any specific needs they may have. I always use secure leashes, stay aware of our surroundings during walks, and make sure dogs are in safe environments at all times. I’m patient and attentive, and I adjust my approach depending on the dog—whether they need high-energy exercise or a calmer pace. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident their dog is safe, happy, and well cared for

About: I grew up around animals since I was born, my family always having cats and dogs. I have experience giving medication to cats, doing custom feedings for both dogs and cats as well as walking low maintenance dogs. I am looking to do drop ins for people in need. I work in Walnut Creek from 7-4pm daily with an hour lunch break. I live in Pittsburg. I’m available for drop in visits at 6am. 11:30am and after 4pm. As well as all day on weekends. I am open to short term over night care in the persons home, as my cat doesn’t do well with other animals. I’m looking forward to speaking with you! I currently work 645am-345pm with an hour lunch. I live in Pittsburg and work in Walnut Creek so I am able to travel to different cities if needed. I am not able to board due to having a cat who is not pet friendly. I also live in an apartment not suitable for dogs.

“Stefanie is wonderful! She's very calm and kind, took time with the animals, and communicates well. She was very flexible as our schedule kept changing. Thank you Stefanie!”

Judi S.

“Absolutely do not hesitate to reach out to Megan for your pet care needs! At this point I don't even know how many times she has completed drop in visits for my two furry guys while we were away, they have been that numerous -- and all just wonderful! By now Megan has really bonded with both cats. The fact that they are familiar with her helps the time away from their sweet faces feel more bearable for me.”

Scout F.

“Halona is amazing you can tell she loves dogs. She really worked with our schedule and made sure Athena was well taken care of. We will be using her every time we need someone to watch our fur baby.”

Elisa D.

“Elizabeth took terrific care of our high energy dog during a tough weather week! Petey was tired and fulfilled after her visits. She is also communicative, knowledgeable, and kind. We are grateful to have found her :)”

Abigail S.

“Jessica was great! She was a great communicator and kept me updated with photos and videos so I could see my little fur angel while away. She even went above and beyond by offering to water my poor plants that I had just traumatized after repotting them! Jessica arrived right on time for our meet-and-greet and clearly understood how cats operate — giving Ree space to come to her first. I felt comfortable with Jessica knowing my cat (and plants!) were in such caring hands. Highly recommend!”

Brittany C.

“Shirley was very considerate of our requests. She was great with our dog, playing with him and bringing him treats. We would definitely use her again.”

“Jennifer was awesome! We have two crazy cattle dogs that can be quite a handful, but Jennifer was able to patiently watch them while we were away. She is the best! We will definitely contact her for more dog sitting the next time we go out of town.”

About: I’ve owned and taken care of cats and dogs in the past 10+ years. Friends have relied on me to take care their pets (dog boarding/home visits) when They are away. I am mainly working from home, so I can adjust my work time to fit your pets’ need on weekday. And should be all available on weekend. I care for my pets like my family. For your pet, I will understand What your pet needs first, and take care of them as you usually do, not making them stressed about your away.

“Joseph took excellent care of our 3 kitties. He was very communicative and sent us cute photos. He was comfortable and confident administering oral medication to our senior kitty. We'd happily book with him in the future!”
