About: I'm a nature lover and natural animal lover—especially doggies. Over the years, I’ve loved and cared for my my own pets: dogs, a rabbit and a cat. Currently, I help care for my aging mom’s little senior Shitzu: weekly walks at a nearby parks, vet care and lite grooming. Comfortable with harness attaching and removal. My own beloved dog passed away a couple of years ago, I still enjoy encounters with other dogs on my daily walks, giving ear rubs and back scratches—dogs just bring me joy. Currently, I’m retired, so my availability is flexible for you and your pet’s needs. I have experience caring for various breeds and size (small to medium size dogs), but I can handle larger senior dogs. I routinely walk at various designated parks and trails in the East Bay. When I pet-sit in my apartment, I inquire about pets regular routine first: walking, feeding, and medication (if necessary). I require they provide their pet’s own: bedding, sleepwear, food and treats and up to date vaccines. I also ask for emergency info: Vet, pet-owner (s), and an alternate contact. Finally, I will send regular updates via text, pictures or videos of your pets outings or stays—live if you like!
About: Free Meet & Greets! Animals have always been a huge part of my life. From growing up with dogs and cats to caring for senior pets and high energy puppies. I’m the kind of person who talks to animals like they’re family, and I treat each pet with the same love, patience, and attention I’d want for my own. What sets me apart? I pay close attention to a pet’s individual needs and energy. Whether your pup needs a long walk to burn energy, your cat prefers quiet companionship, or your senior dog needs slow, gentle care, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, loved, and understood. I’m comfortable administering medications, sticking to specific feeding or care routines, and keeping communication open with you so you feel at ease while you're away. I’m currently fully available and have a flexible schedule, which means I can easily work around your pet’s needs. Whether it’s early mornings, midday check-ins, or evening snuggles, I’ve got the time and energy to be there when you need me. Your pet will get consistent care and attention, every time. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and loving environment. I pay close attention to routines, feeding instructions, and any special needs to make sure your pet feels secure and comfortable. I keep spaces clean, remove any hazards, and never leave pets unsupervised in situations that could be unsafe (like off-leash unless fenced). In your home, I respect your space just as much as I respect your pet—I treat it with care and leave things just as I found them (or cleaner!). I know it takes trust to let someone care for your furry family, and I take that seriously. Clear communication and gentle, attentive care are what I bring every time.

“Megan has been a lifesaver for us! She is amazing with our doggies and is a wonderful person. She is the only person we trust with our dogs .”
Ladonna S.
“Ladonna would be an excellent caregiver. She adores animals; and they are drawn to her; and why wouldn't they? Animals are believed to be instinctual beings, and they know a kind and generous person. I have never known her to mistreat any animal; I have only known her as a lover of animals. I know she would excel at this position.”

Elisabeth D.
“Liz is truly the best dog sitter and walker we could ask for! My two small dogs, Rio and Rosie, absolutely adore her. She has stayed with them many times over the years, and it’s such a relief knowing they’re in such loving and capable hands. Liz is always punctual, reliable, and goes above and beyond — sending updates and pictures so I know how happy and well cared for they are. She’s incredibly patient and kind, and even my shy little Rosie warmed up to her right away. When Liz stays with them, the house is always left spotless and the dogs are calm, happy, and clearly loved. We trust her completely and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, responsible, and truly wonderful pet sitter. — Rebecca P.”
Mia A.
“Mia has a gift for working with animals. She started having pets at a young age with fish, mice, hamsters and birds, taking joy in interacting with them, feeding them, always being the first one to notice any health concerns. As she grew older she went to zoo camp, to SCPA camp, and she graduated to counselor sharing her love of animals with other children. Over the last few years she has regularly walked her many dogs, cleaned up after them, made sure they received needed vet care and nursed them back to health after surgery or illness. When younger, she would walk her two Chihuahua mixes, and helped care for them as they aged, became less mobile, and needed extra attention and medications. As a young adult, she raised one puppy Pit Bull from 6 weeks (now 5 years old), and adopted a mistreated Pit/Lab mix, who is now her best friend and companion. She is excellent at ensuring their routines are followed and spending quality time with them. She uses treats wisely, and has trained her dogs to follow her lead, sit and wait when commanded. She ensures regular vet care and gives medications, applies lotions and other vet-prescribed care with kindness. As she has started dog walking and care professionally, she has been a reliable, trusted caregiver. She has demonstrated her capacity with all types of dogs and her understanding that dogs not only need food, water and walking or play, but also interaction, reassurance, and love. I admire her ease with and love for animals, and am glad she can share her gift with other pet owners.”

“I am very thrilled to recommend Juan! He has been great with my Rocco my 9 year old German Shepard who he has been walking for years now. Whenever I am out of town I know I can count on his services to take care and look over my Rocco. He is very responsible and attentive with my Rocco and Rocco loves him and is always excited to see Juan. Whether it is for walks or pet-sitting Juan is very reliable which I appreciate so much given my busy schedule. I know I can completely trust him with my fur baby which gives me peace of mind. I highly recommend him and can assure you that your pet will be in excellent hands with Juan.”
Dacyl A.
“If you’re looking for the perfect dog sitter, I can’t recommend Dacyl highly enough! I trust her with my dogs implicitly—they love her so much, they think of her as their "other dog mom." She’s exceptional with animals, truly caring and attentive, and she tailors every walk and play session to each dog's unique needs and energy level. With a lovely, dog-friendly house and yard, Dacyl offers a safe, happy environment where your dog can relax and play. She has endless patience for playtime, pets, and attention, and her genuine love for all dogs is why they can’t help but love her back. If you want your dog cared for like family, Dacyl is the sitter you need!”

Kelly W.
“Kelly is a dream of a pet sitter. I have an 11 year old rescue that has her quirks and Kelly is so sweet and so good with her. She’s sat for me about 10 times so far and not only do I not have to worry at all about my pup, Kelly treats my home with the same care. I feel like my house looks better than when I left! Kelly is trustworthy, a good problem solver, detail oriented and most of all she gives my dog so much love while I’m gone. I’ll continue to hire her as long as she’s available!”

Redwood Heights dog parents share their Rover experiences
Michelle is fantastic! Super communicative and reliable. She has taken such great care of our puppy Mochi! She started with him when he was too young to go on walks and took great care of him during her drop-in visits and potty breaks. When he started going on walks, she helped him with leash confidence and getting used to strangers. I always appreciated the detailed Rover cards & cute pics she took of Mochi. Definitely will book Michelle in the future and highly recommend her for drop-in visits or walks with your pup!
Megan is excellent- she stepped in at the last minute when we were in a bind and walked our two greyhounds for several days while we were out of town. We are extra protective of our dogs and she impressed us with her experience and knowledge. We really trust her and would not hesitate to recommend her!
Andy did a great job. We didn’t get a chance to meet in person before they came to walk the dogs as it was a last minute request so we FaceTimed and they asked all the right questions. Dogs were happy and exercised. Andy was very communicative. Would definitely book with them again.

- Start and stop times
- A map of their walk with total distance
- Pee, poo, food, and water breaks
- Cute photos and a personalized note
