Pet Sitting Port Costa

About: I have had pets all my life and have a special way with many animals. From tiring out restless pups through play so they can settle in their doghouses, to gaining the trust of the sassiest cats, my patience and kindness towards all animals has gained me the favor of friends and family to care for their pets. I am currently a full time student, so my availability throughout the week can vary. Despite this I find myself to have my afternoons and evenings mostly free. Additionally, my weekends will be free most weeks. In a cliients home, I would do my best to respect the environment and the pets space. Not surprising the pet or adjusting things from their usual place, like food or water bowls, to show I am not here to change pet routines but just to help them along. Additionally, gaining trust on walks and setting firm boundaries with the pet to keep myself and the pet safe when out and about.

“Erin did a wonderful job walking my pup, Elliot loved it! She also took my older dog out to potty and administered her eye meds. Really appreciate the help during a busy week!”

Maggie T.

“She was amazing and very attentive to my dog Z. I really appreciate that she went above and beyond to play with and gave him lots of cuddles while I was gone. I’ll definitely ask for her to help again. Best experience I’ve had on Rover. 🐾”

Gabrielle R.

“Adam was amazing with Sammy! He sent us reports and pictures of his visits every time and let us know Sammy took his medication well with him. Sammy was a little shy at first but they were buddies after a few days. We will definitely hire Adam again when we need someone to take care of Sammy in the future.”

“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!”

“Thank you for taking care of our Oreo! Emma took good care our dog's needs while we were away, and she sent daily updates and photos, which put our minds at ease. She's extremely accommodating with our last-minute requests. :)”

About: Previously owned and trained our family dog until his passing some years ago. I have birds, fish, and have been caring for family friends' dogs. I am currently willing to help, care, and walk your dogs. A great way to fill in the time as I stay home, go to school, and improve life as to looking forward to care for your dog. My dog was fed a mix of wet and dry food, water bowl always full, and daily drive/park/play/walks/hikes (regarding the weather at the current moment of time).

“Thank you for stepping in while away! Megan supported my 2 pups during a very hot several days and in between my AC unit not working in my home! She ensured both dogs are well taken care of and stayed cool during the heat. Which was my #1 concern! My dogs love the care she provides and I would be happy to recommend her to anyone!”

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.

“I loved the photos sent! Sky really seemed to love coconut and the time spent with her. Thank you, Sky!”

“Thank you Bibiana!!”

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.

About: Hi, I’m Tessa! I’m a reliable and experienced pet sitter and dog walker with over five years of experience caring for dogs and cats. I’ve worked with more than 35 recurring clients and have experience providing walks, feeding, administering medications, overnight pet sittings, and house sitting. I pride myself on being patient, responsible and attentive to every pet’s unique needs. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member! I treat every pet in my care as if they were my own. I look forward to providing a safe, loving and dependable experience for both you and your pets! :) I currently am in the process of getting my undergraduate degree and on the side walking and sitting in on dogs and cats. I am able to work when it fits in my schedule and being around animals brings me much joy. In a clients home, I follow their directions strictly and hope to follow through on everything they request of me. It is the upmost importance to me that I am respectful in someone else’s home.

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 also give medications and understand senior dog needs. My small Chihuahua SOPHIE comes with me and gets along with everyone. 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 have been a dog walker/sitter for 3 years officially. I quit my job to do this full time. Dogs are my favorite thing in this world! I will care for them as if they are my own. I’ve yet to meet a pup that hasn’t liked me. I will protect you’re pup at all cost and always make sure they have the best time when they are with me! Im already a dog walker all morning with my regular clients. So later in the day is when I have availability. I do have a few spots in the mornings though. I have a fenced in back yard and have hosted many pups at my house! And in the summer they can swim if they like water!
