About: Berkeley Humane Society and Oakland Animal Services volunteer, trained with dogs of all temperaments. I also dog sit for family and friends, and love building trust and keeping routines consistent. I focus on quality walks, not quick outings. When appropriate, I take dogs to East Bay spots like Point Isabel, Albany Bulb and Berkeley Marina for space and stimulation. For drop-ins, your dog will get lots of attention, movement and care. I walk my dogs daily, often on longer outings. I adjust pace and distance based on your dog’s needs. Dog care is my priority right now. I’m available mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I have flexibility and I can accommodate longer walks or extended visits I prioritize safety at all times. Dogs will always be on-leash and handled either full attention and control. I stick to your instructions and keep routines consistent
“Simone took excellent care of our senior dog. She asked good questions and was gentle with our high needs dog. I felt totally at ease knowing she was in good hands!”
“Alexandria is our favorite sitter! Ocean (our Labrador puppy) loves the times that he gets watched by her. Ocean always comes home happy and tired from all the playing. Alexandria is super easy to communicate with and sends updates and pictures throughout the day.”
“Sara was able to take in our dog Harper at really late notice! Thank you for being able to accommodate. My dog can be reactive so she was very helpful in introducing her dogs to mine and I really appreciated that shes seasoned with that. She was so communicative and literally texted back so fast! The backyard is beautiful and Harper even really loved her! Will be coming back!”
“Angela was an awesome sitter for Remy and took great care of him over two days. She was flexible with my schedule and communicated throughout the day with updates and pictures. Remy got excited when we pulled up to her house on the second day. He knew he was in for a fun day! I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.”
About: Animals are one of my life’s greatest loves. I’ve spent a lifetime working hands-on with cats, dogs, birds, and other small animals—at this point, I’m a level-capped pet sitter with stat bonuses vs shy guys and grumps. 𝐋𝐚𝐫𝐠𝐞 𝐝𝐨𝐠𝐬: I’m strong; I can walk and manage large dogs easily (esp. with a harness). I’m experienced with energetic and anxious dogs who need 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐟𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭 handling. 𝐂𝐚𝐭𝐬: I’m ridiculously good with cats and offer professional-level 𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 as an add-on service. I have all the tools and expertise to handle mat removal, brushing, nail trims, and ear cleaning—skills I’ve developed caring for my own cats. 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐈 𝐨𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫: • Follow care instructions as written • Regular photo updates • Respectful of your home and routines • Flexible part-time schedule I work from home part-time, so I can structure visits around your pets’ actual schedules—midday walks, multiple daily check-ins, or extended house sitting. Serving Rockridge and surrounding Oakland neighborhoods. Prefer to walk or bike for drop-ins and walks; happy to drive for house sitting. I work part-time from home (and for house sitting, can easily work from yours), so I have a flexible schedule to structure around your pets’ needs — walks, feedings, playtime, grooming, cuddling and companionship. At home, I maintain a clean, calm environment with scheduled meals, play, and grooming for my own two beloved cats. Routine and enrichment are key to keeping pets stress-free and content.
“Fadi was great with Benji. He sent regular updates and photos, and Benji seemed happy and relaxed throughout. We felt very comfortable leaving Benji in his care and highly recommend him.”
Rockridge dog parents share their Rover experiences
Sarah was wonderful with Bijou! He is a well-behaved dog but has a ton of energy, and it was clear that Sarah understood his personality perfectly. You could easily tell from the pictures she shared that he was having a blast. She took him on a couple of walks, and he came home completely happy and tired out from all the fun. I highly recommend Sarah for doggy day care and will definitely use her services again!
Mariola did a great job caring for my almost one year old puppy. I booked three days in a row while my husband was out of town and Pepper was eager to go each day. Mariola had helpful tips about managing youthful enthusiasm without shaming her for still working on self control.
VJ and Matthew are the best. I feel so safe leaving my dog Willa with them, I always trust that she’s in good hands. They take such good care of her; as an example, when she’s finicky with food they’ll hand feed her (without me ever having suggested it). They’re great communicators and always send the cutest pictures of Willa cuddling with them and the dogs. I couldn’t recommend them more highly.
Taylor is an absolute godsend! As well as her husband Kevin. She takes care of Kahlo weekly when I go to work and I am able to relax knowing Kahlo is in the best hands. I went on my first trip recently and Kahlo stayed with Taylor and Kevin for several days. Being a new dog mom, meant I had overwhelming anxiety leaving on my first trip and was so worried about leaving my dog convinced she would have serious separation anxiety. Well, I was totally wrong. LOL. I am honestly not sure that Kahlo wanted to leave. She had the best time and enjoyed all the attention she was spoiled with during her stay. Taylor was so sweet and sent me so many updates and pictures throughout her stay. She even printed a keepsake of pictures from her stay that I now have in my home. I was able to relax and enjoy my time away. It has been a true blessing finding Taylor. She is kind, communicative, and treats your dog as her own. Thank you Taylor and Kevin for being so awesome ❤️! Truly Grateful.
