Pet Sitting Rockridge

“Awesome job caring for my pups while I was gone!”

Rebecca C.

About: I had two very pompous cats growing up. I now have a very lazy pitbull I rescued when he was a puppy and had the privilege of loving a beautiful and patient senior terrier. Safe to say I have experienced it all and it’s one of the greatest gifts :) I’m a recent graduate and I suppose one can say the job market is tough. However, because of this I have loads of free time!! Best way to spend free time is around lovely pets! I will treat you fur best friend as if they were my own. I’m very protective of my own and will be the same towards yours as well as shower them with tons of love!

“Cassandra has been a fantastic sitter. She goes above and beyond to make sure my new puppy is well cared for (and handled many logistical mishaps on my part with grace). She is very communicative and will also ask for more direction beyond what's listed on my profile. I will happily be a repeat client.”

“Sophia was so amazing! She did a great job of keeping me updated and taking care of my dog. I will definitely use her again!”

About: I've been around dogs my whole life and rescued my own fur baby 5 years ago. I watch dogs for friends and family all the time and genuinely love having them around. I love that every dog has their own personality, and I'm happy to meet them where they're at, whether they're playful and outgoing or a little shy and need some space. I'm no replacement for their favorite human, but I hope to give them a friendly, warm, low-stress environment where they can feel comfortable and cared for while you're away. 🐾 I'm currently working part time so I have a very flexible schedule. I'm available most week days all day, Saturdays all day and Sunday evenings. I have a car so can easily drop in for a visit or walk and pick up/drop off your pet. I live in a condo with my partner and a little Pomeranian named Romeo. I don't have a yard but live in a super walkable neighborhood with some parks nearby. I love staying active and driving to a trail/park from time to time to take a little hike.

“Second time working with Shelly and it was awesome! She was quick to respond, very accommodating and we'll gladly work with her again! We're very happy that we found Shelly to watch our cats while we're traveling.”

“Alyssa is the BEST! Took such amazing care of my two girls and received pictures and updates multiple times a day! But most importantly, she got my two incredibly shy cats to come out of hiding (which, truly, no sitter has ever been able to do before)!”

About: Your pet's comfort is our top priority. We live in a pet-friendly 2b2b apartment where your furry friend will get VIP treatment. Since I specialize in making natural pet treats, your pup or kitty will have endless treats during their stay! We have a separate, private room specifically available for pets who prefer their own space or need a quiet environment away from our friendly resident Maltipoo. We are cat-friendly and highly experienced with large breeds (up to 80lbs). From cozy naps to gourmet treats, we provide a safe, fun, and delicious home away from home! • Morning: A refreshing walk around Oakland followed by breakfast. • Mid-day: High energy fun at the dog park with plenty of fetch and ball play. • Afternoon: Nap time! Pets can recharge in our private spare room or a sunny spot. • Evening: Dinner and indoor play, featuring unlimited handmade treats from my workshop. • Night: A final potty walk and cozy snuggles before bedtime. We live in a spacious, pet-friendly 2b2b apartment in Oakland. For your peace of mind, we have a dedicated spare room that is not used by humans, it’s a perfect "private suite" for pets who need their own space, are shy, or require isolation for health or personality reasons.

“Alix was amazing with Duck and Goose! She communicated well and frequently, was on time for the check ins, and sent photos of both cats each visit.”

About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and I treat every pup like one of my own! I’m experienced with small breeds, energetic dogs, and those who just want a cozy lap and some extra attention. Whether we’re playing fetch, going on walks, or enjoying a lazy afternoon nap, my goal is to make your dog feel safe, loved, and completely at home. As a pup parent myself, I believe pet parents deserve frequent updates and lots of photos, so you can relax knowing your best friend is having a great time too. I work from home so I’m flexible during the day and evenings for pet care. I tend to go to the dog park or on hikes a couple times per week. I have a small friendly dog in my home that gets along with most other dogs. He loves to play, and also is happy to leave other dogs alone. I make sure my client’s homes are better than how I found them. I like to send lots of pics and updates when staying in clients homes, and of course follow all rules and guidelines.

“Lisa was wonderful! She took fantastic care of our little cat, including giving medication and keeping us updated on her progress. Thank you Lisa!”

“Went above and beyond taking care of my two cats! I felt so comfortable (and happy!) with the care she gave them between lots of extra love, fixing the litter robot (thanks again! lol), and great reports that let me know everything going on with them. Will definitely have her help watch them again for me!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for the past 3 years and absolutely love spending time with them. A family member owns a farm, and when their dog had puppies, I helped care for the litter and learned how important patience, love, and attention are. I treat every dog like my own and always make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. As a college student, I have free gaps between classes that allow me to provide reliable pet care, walks, playtime, and attention throughout the day. I follow each pet’s routine carefully, provide food and water, give plenty of attention, ensure safety, and keep their environment clean and comfortable for the pets and owners.

About: I’ve had pets since I was young including caring for and owning small, medium, and large dogs. I appreciate the need for exercise and am happy to maintain any rules for your pet to keep consistency. I’m well versed in giving pets medicine, training puppies with voice, treats and eye contact. I currently have a 60lb dog that is strong and unreliable meeting dogs on leash so I am versed in managing larger dogs and boundaries needed in their care so they feel supported. (My dog is with me 50% time and I will only take in sitting jobs when she isn’t here). I also appreciate and care for cats though I have never owned one. I work full-time from home and a two bedroom apartment, and I’m available to board. I walk regularly and have my own dog 50% time. I will only board when I don’t have her. I can do fast walks, slow walks, and I have a car to take dogs to hikes if that is desired. I have an unfenced yard for quick potty breaks if needed, but prefer walking dogs on leash around the Elmwood neighborhood if they are staying with me. It’s good to get exercise! Also happy to walk them in your area if I’m just doing a house visit. I have a laundry room where I can close off any pet food storage if your pet is adventurous and gets into things. I like building trust and boundaries with dogs early so that they can feel secure. I also love playing with toys and keeping them in rotation whether that’s a Kong, pull toys, cat feathers or mice, etc.

“She was great! She checked in on all 4 of my animals a few times over the weekend and did everything they needed. She cared for our dogs and our cat by walking, feeding, and playing. She even gave updates and shared adorable pictures during her visits. She also gave our diabetic dog his insulin! Thank you for helping us out this past weekend!”

“Overall, Tia was great! She communicates well and responds promptly to messages. She clearly loves animals and they love her. Added bonus: she can be counted on to handle missteps professionally. I would use her service again.”

About: I grew up with a dog that I was responsible for from a young age until my late teens. Today, I am the go-to dog care person for family and friends. I love animals but especially dogs so I decided to try expanding my skills here on Rover. I have experience helping dogs who are injured and need medicine, active, semi-active, and mellow dogs too! My current schedule offers flexibility throughout the weekdays and most weekends, which helps me balance and accommodate dog owners' various schedules/needs throughout the entire week. At your home, I am a responsible and conscientous person, who treats someone's home with care. I am adaptable to different home environments. The main thing for me is feeling safe in the home and cleanliness -:) and that the dog is comfortable.
