“Nancy was absolutely amazing, kind, and timely. We were stressing about having to leave our new puppy with a stranger for the day but Nancy's overall demeanor even before we booked her made us realize Baxter would be in great hands. Highly recommend!”

“So happy we found Merlette! We needed help last minute and she was so quick to respond and had great communication through the entire weekend! Our dog was happy and well taken care of! We will definitely be using Merlette again!”


“Erin was super helpful. I had booked her last minute and she was able to help me which I greatly appreciated. Kept Neoh happy, cleaned up after him, and was on time each visit. Thank you again for all your help!”

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.
“Saylor is really great with my puppy, he truly enjoy his time with her. She is responsive and communicate well. I want to gatekeep her but she is very good! Would definitely recommend her to everyone else!”


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
About: I've had pets all my life, primarily dogs. I've been the loving human for a 15-year-old Chiweenie -- my chill, fur daughter, Coco -- since she was a pup. I've also cared for pets and house sat for several friends and family over the years. With so many years of pet parenting behind me, I'll approach caring for your dog as if they were my own. I live quite an active lifestyle, so I'm happy to take your dog for long walks or jogs, depending on your dog's ability and your preferences. I can also just visit and pay them as much attention as they need. I enjoy travel with purpose, so I can house sit and/or care for your pet while I'm visiting your area. Just let me know your unique situation and requirements. I'll do my best to cater your pet care experience to fit all your needs! I can arrange time to care for your pets during the day, evening or on weekends, depending on what I have going on. My schedule varies day to day, so connect with me and we can find something that works! I like to get the full run down of your dog's needs, temperament, eating habits, favorite activities and toys, potty schedule, physical limitations and anything else you think will help me provide the best care for your pet. I also think it would be a good idea for your dog to meet me in person for an initial intro if that fits into your time frame.
“Megan seemed to truly enjoy taking care of my dogs. Judging by the pictures she sent I think my dogs enjoyed her too! She was very responsive when booking, respectful of our home, and responsive again after her drop-in.”

About: I’ve been caring for my family rescue pitbull for 10 years. This experience has provided me experience with bigger dogs, senior dogs, and dogs that are reactive and prefer to avoid other dogs on walks. Dogs and cats bring me immense joy, and my goal is to be such love and care to the pets, but also respect to the pet and their owners. Looking forward to working with you all! I’m currently a master’s student, who has a few days off a week! My schedule will become even more free with my academic winter and summer break! I can check on your pets in the am, mid day, and evening! While taking care of pets in others homes, I will be sure to respect the owner's boundaries. I will never touch anything in the house that is off limits. I will be attentive with your dogs needs and give them love.
About: I have worked at 2 dog facilities, The Meadows Canine Camp in Santa Rosa and I currently work at the Milo Foundation where I walk and adopt out dogs. I currently have a foster named Grayson (boxer) who is good with small dogs. I love animals and I am very qualified to take care of your pet while you are away. Cant wait to meet them! I work at the Milo Foundation in point Richmond Wednesday-Sunday. Your dog would need to be ok for 8hrs alone on those days or if they are small I can take them with me to work. Before and after work would be dedicated time spent with your pet and I am off on Mondays and Tuesdays. While walking, your pets safety is my number one priority and I will make sure to walk in areas deemed appropriate by clients. Having dogs of my own, I understand the importance on keeping them safe when out. I also like to use a harnesses when walking to avoid a dogs collar slipping and possibility of getting loose.
“Isaiah could not have been a better pet sitter! He has a very gentle soul and is obviously an animal person. Our dog, who is ofter a little cautious with strangers, bounded up to him when we did our meet-and-greet. Even our standoffish cats gave in to his calming ways. Coming home after 5 days away, we found our house in perfect condition, all the pets food and water filled, the litter box clean, and a houseful of contented animals. We will absolutely be having Isaiah take care of our pets in the future!”

About: I live in Hercules (East Bay) and only do IN HOME CARE for dogs and sometimes cats. I've found there is less stress if they stay in their own familiar surroundings with your smells; especially if they are blind or deaf or have elderly med needs..

I am semi-retired and will attend to all your instructions, sleep with your baby if that is what is required. I specialize in small dogs but will consider anything, especially if you are in a bind and need someone ASAP. Call me and let's discuss your needs! Thank you. I'm semi-retired and usually available. I am happy to take your dog to dog parks. Sophie and I go on long walks everyday, sometimes twice. We are active. We will follow your schedule. I've great references for in-home care which is all I do now. I also keep the house clean and will do laundry or other needs while I am there. Long or short stays, just let me know what you need. I've background checks that are stellar, never any incident. I am a professional.
About: I grew up on a ranch surrounded by animals and have spent years caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities, including breeds like Rottweilers, Pit mixes, and my own German Shepherd, Daisy. As a pet parent myself, I take a patient, gentle approach built on trust, helping every pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Pet care fits naturally into my routine as a pet parent myself. I plan my schedule carefully to ensure pets receive consistent attention, adequate exercise, nutrition, companionship, and care. Whether it’s walks, drop-in visits, or overnight stays, I make it a priority to be reliable, responsive, and attentive to each pet’s needs. Safety and trust are at the core of my approach to pet care. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, preferences, unique personality, and needs to help them feel comfortable and secure. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I prioritize a calm, clean environment, close supervision, and clear communication to ensure pets receive safe, attentive, and compassionate care.

Port Costa pet parents share their Rover experiences
I’ve been able to schedule with Thea several times while on vacation for several days/weeks. Thea is very trustworthy, she communicates effectively, she was wonderful with my animal babies (cats, dog, fish & tortoise) and goes above and beyond in her care efforts and sending all those pics. Thank you Thea !!

Telena has watched our shy kitty only twice, but has somehow managed to bring her out of her shell!! It normally takes our cat a long time before she warms up to people and she will usually just hide the whole time. But this time she came out and hung out with Telena which is so cool to see! Telena is super patient and kind with our cat, and very responsive while we’re out of town. I highly recommend her services !! Thanks Telena !!
