“Fiona is wonderful she is very knowledgeable about dogs and was so kind to my anxious dog. She came to me for a meet and greet and followed every direction. I would love to have Fiona watch my dog again!”

“Fuliang was great. Would definitely let him house sit again. This was our first time using Rover. We were away for 4 days. He stayed at our home and watched our two dogs. He sent us picture updates when they went for walks. There were no issues and the house was in good order when we returned.”

About: I am a full time caregiver for animals of all kinds, including years spent interning and volunteering at rescues and sanctuaries. When in these positions I care for about a hundred beautiful beings 24/7, from fluffy little rescued babies all the way to elders like a 23 year old dog. When I am sitting for you, I am only working with and focused on the animals in your household. I offer calm, empathic care, defined by my insight since birth that each and every animal is a unique, sensitive individual worthy of respect and protection. As a full-time animal caregiver, I’m devoted to providing patient, compassionate, and attentive care to every animal I meet. I only caregive for one household at a time, so I am with your furry or feathered friends for the entire time you are away. I care for your companions right in their own home, where they feel safest. I prioritize creating a calm, secure environment and building trust through gentle, consistent attention. Your beloved family member's comfort and well-being always come first.

“Mandisa took great care of our little terrier, Luna (who can be a handful some times). I especially appreciated her responsiveness and professionalism throughout the process, which provided such peace of mind, and the notes she left afterward, which were super helpful for managing an issue Luna's been having lately, where she gets so excited by the neighborhood cats that she forgets to potty when you take her outside. Ah, terriers. We look forward to booking with Mandisa agin.”

“Virgina is very sweet and communicated well with us throughout her three week stay at our home with our dog Louie. She took great care of our beloved dog and home. He has meds and specific diet which she followed at our request. She also took him on lots of walks. The home was clean and tidy before we arrived home. I definitely will use her services again and recommend her for any help you may need.”

“We couldn’t be more thankful for Suzy who came in on an extremely short notice situation when our normal sitter wasn’t able to make it. She was amazing with our puppy and just an amazing person and a truly nice and caring addition to our puppies small little world. We will most certainly be having her back into our home to take care of our little guy diesel. We are so looking forward to booking with Suzy again and wish we could give her six stars. Also her communication was excellent within five minutes of submitting a request she called and we talked on the phone and she made me feel comfortable and safe with her in our home and with our fur baby.”

“Hannah was amazing with our 11 month old labradoodle. The daily check in photos were awesome and we could tell she took such good care of our pup and our home. She was well organized and had excellent communication with us throughout her stay. We would highly recommend Hannah to anyone needing a high quality dog sitter.”

“We had such a great experience with Vivian! My puppy loved her and she took great care of him and left the house in wonderful shape while we were gone. She sent regular updates and we knew our puppy was in great hands! Highly recommend Vivian.”


About: I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats for around 4 years now! I’ve always loved animals, and first started getting expirence from volunteer at the Berkley Animal Shelter! Since then, I have dog and cat sat for many families! 🩷✨🐶 I am free every day of the week, and can fit pretty much anyone into my routine! Dogsitting and walking is what keeps me busy! In my home, we have a dog door that can be shut whenever. We also have a yard with fencing that keeps the animals safe
“Tracy was great with our dog and was so easy to communicate with. We had a last minute mishap with a holiday gathering and Tracy was able to help us out last minute. We will definitely work with her again!”

About: I have taken care of many dogs and cats all over the Bay Area. I have regular clients in Walnut Creek Concord and Oakland. I have an off-leash group in Oakland 4 days a week. I have joined rover to continue services more local to me here in Port Costa. I have reviews if you search on google Perry dog mother. I love taking pictures and making funny videos if you would like. I take care of my animals daily. I am free and flexible to help families in my community. I look forward to meeting families and their pets beforehand. I give my full attention to the animal when visiting. Animals feel lonely too so I hope I am able to provide some comfort while the fur parents are away. I am caring and trust worthy I have had a lot of experience with all kinds of animals.
“Above & Beyond! I am so very grateful for Tania taking care of my 2 German shepherds. She provided plenty of updates during my trip and I never had any doubt that she was the right person for the job! I will absolutely reach out for future puppy sitting requests. Highly recommend!!!”


“I have nothing but WONDERFUL things to say about Carla! She took amazing care of our dog Bailey and she made sure to send me updates and photos throughout the sitting, which really helped to put me and my husband at ease. She also followed all of our instructions and we came home to a very happy dog! I would recommend Carla to anyone who needs someone to look after their pet!”

“Rod - House/ Dog Sitting for 2 days while I was out of town. He took Great Care of Lestat while I was Away. Im Very Pleased and Lestat was very Happy hanging Out With his New Friend. ROD ROCKS !”

About: I offer calm, personalized care in a quiet home where your dog is treated like family, not one of many in a busy boarding facility or a home with multiple dogs. I typically host one household at a time, so your dog gets my full attention, genuine affection, and all the cuddles they can handle. My home is the right fit for friendly dogs who love companionship, walks, and settling into a peaceful routine. I'm especially drawn to dogs who thrive with one-on-one attention rather than the noise and energy of a busy multi-dog environment. I'm certified in Pet CPR, Healing Touch for Animals, and Reiki. And beyond the credentials, I'm deeply attuned to each dog's personality and energy. That attunement is what helps them settle in quickly and feel genuinely at ease. My connection to animals runs deep. I spent five years volunteering at Lindsay Wildlife Rehabilitation Center, working in both the mammal department and wildlife hospital with injured and recovering animals. That experience sharpened my understanding of animal behavior and reinforced something I already believed: animals feel safety before they understand it. My goal is always to create that feeling from the moment your dog arrives! Because I work from home, pets in my care are rarely left alone for long periods and receive plenty of attention, walks, and companionship throughout the day. When pets stay in my home, they become part of a calm and comfortable daily routine. I primarily host dogs from 1 household at a time so each pet receives plenty of individual attention. Dogs here enjoy daily walks, playtime, and relaxed downtime, and I’m home much of the day since I work from home. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality and needs so they feel safe and settled. For drop-in visits or walks in a client’s home, I follow the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, fresh water, walks, litter care for cats, playtime, and companionship. I’m happy to send photo updates so owners know their pets are doing well.
“Danielle was wonderful with our dog, Hop! We’ve never used a dog sitter outside of the family with him before, and of course we were a bit anxious about the whole thing, but Danielle put us at ease with her passion & knowledge about animals, clear communication and consistent updates on Hop while we were gone. We’re so lucky to have found someone we can trust when we need our little man looked after!”


About: Ive grown up with dogs all my life and always enjoyed spending time with them when I had the chance. Now that I’m older I help friends, family, neighbors and everyone with their pets- be it checking in, feeding, bathing, house sitting, walking, giving medication, or just keeping them company so you can enjoy yourself with peace of mind! I am available most of the weekday especially in the mornings. On the weekends I’m available more often in the afternoons. I’m very flexible and can accommodate to you! I really try to get to know each pet in order to know what they like, what they don't, and their usual routine. This helps me give them the best care possible, so they feel safe and happy, whether I'm just popping in or looking after them for longer!
About: I have loved all manner of critters ever since I was little! I would jump on every opportunity to be around animals, from cleaning friends' fish tanks while they were away to taking care of horses and mucking stalls in exchange for riding lessons. We've had our lovely pup Bosco for 12 years (since he was a couple months old). Steve the cat, came to us at just 3 weeks old about 5 years ago, and we took in the newest addition to our family, Kora the cat, a year and a half ago. I currently work from home so I'll be able to spend all day hanging out with and taking care of your pals. My work is very flexible so it goes where I go and scheduling is rarely a challenge no matter the hour! It is very important to me that your best pal has a great time while in my care so if your pet is on a specific schedule don't be afraid to get detailed! I’ve also cared for many animals over the years with medical needs, so I’ve become quite adept at creative pill camouflaging, breathing mask application, and the administration of various kinds of droplets (among other things).

Derek was amazing!! Booking him was last minute for us, yet he let us feel at ease with quick responses. He was very communicative and kind. It took my two babies time to adjust, but he was patient and at the end they loved him! He sent so many photos and videos and we would absolutely book with him again!!

Ella was excellent! Our dog was shy getting to know her but she came for multiple walks prior to our trip so they could get to know each other. She was kind and patient each time letting our dog go at her own pace. Ella sent updates and pictures regularly to let us know things were going well with both animals and followed all our instructions. (I'm also pretty sure the house was cleaner than when we left as well!) We will absolutely be hiring Ella again in the future, thank you for your care!

Alyssa was very responsive all the way from when we first reached out to when we had her watch our dog for 3 nights in our home. She was considerate to our energetic dog when we did a meet n greet before scheduling her. She was a super sitter and we look forward to working with her again!
