“Charlette was so awesome with my dog Millicent! My dog can be a little stand-offish. Charlette managed to gain Millicent's trust and took such excellent care of my baby. I will definitely be booking with her again. 😊”


About: Pet owner with 5 years of experience caring for a Ragdoll cat and 6 months of experience caring for a family member’s dog. Experienced with feeding, walking, grooming, playtime, and providing attentive, loving care. Reliable, responsible, and passionate about animal well-being. I work Monday through Friday from 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM and am available for pet care visits after work. I have weekends off and can provide flexible care during that time. Pet care is already part of my daily routine, and I enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they are happy, safe, and well cared for. I follow each pet’s routine, including feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, and companionship. I ensure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for.

About: Ever since I was young, I have cared for many different kinds of animals and pets, from small ones like turtles and golden fish, to later adopting my first German Shepherd and my first cat. After that, the way I felt about pets completely changed. They were no longer just animals for me to take care of. In my heart, they became companions, and eventually true family members. From a young age, I naturally became interested in learning more about animals, especially cats and dogs. I started researching pet care, behavior, and the knowledge needed to understand them better. I believe every pet is different. As animal's friends, we need to be patient enough to listen, attentive enough to observe, and willing to truly understand their feelings, needs, and personalities. This mindset and these experiences have gradually deepened my passion for the pet industry and led me to step into this field. I’m a full-time caregiver and I understand that life can be unpredictable, so I offer same-day requests and one-day cancellation for added flexibility. available 24/7 to support your needs. Feel free to message/call me if you have any concern. Communication is the key. I have fenced yard and a friendly dog and two cats to keep your fur buddy company. If you request a private space, I have another individual unit with no pet. I’ll keep you updated on your pet’s activity and share their little vacation through messages, photos, and videos. Whether you’re at work, attending an event, or traveling, you can have peace of mind knowing how they’re doing at any time. We’ll spend quality time playing, walking, and keeping them engaged, so they stay happy and never bored. f you need any in-home service, we will also make sure everything is handled according to your instructions, preferences, and household rules.
About: Hi, Meghan here, I have always been a dog-lover. I live in Oakland with my mom, a fellow dog-lover! I allow our furry friends on the couch, but can also work on furniture-boundaries if your pooch isn't allowed on furniture at your own home. I work from home, so I'll be home most of the day during the weekdays. The longest your pup will be home alone (with my pups) is around 5 hours. I am comfortable with big dogs. I can give medications, and can brush your pooch as well! Here's a little about us: Meghan has been a dog-lover since birth. She grew up with dogs of all shapes and sizes. Treesa loves pups of all sizes! Meet my pets: Just the dogs! About my yard We have a fenced backyard. My experience administering medication We are comfortable administering oral medication. **We do have a Potty Clause. We understand accidents happen, and are very forgiving, as pups are often excited and can't help themselves at first. However, we have occasionally had extreme repeat offenders. We take dogs on the basis that they are potty trained. If we feel there are an excessive number of indoor incidents, we will let you know, and ask for a $10 additional fee (per week, or fraction thereof), to cover the cost of laundry and cleaning supplies.** Thanks! I work from home so your pup will hang out with me at home, join me on walks, and get to spend the day with me! I have a fenced yard. Security gate at my back door means fresh air without escape opportunity. We're working on installing a dog door, so that should happen later this year!
“Angelique is amazing! She was incredibly patient, kind, and willing to work with us through all of our crazy needs and our dog’s behavioral concerns. She is sweet, honest, and timely. We will absolutely use her again and again and highly recommend her to anyone needing care for their pets.”

About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I was around 9 years old. Grew up with 5 dogs, rabbits, chickens, and iguanas. Have always had an aptitude for being a dog whisperer and I am an overall active person. I have had 5 litters of puppies growing up and just recently had a litter of white labs. Love going to the beach, going on trail runs, and biking. I specialize in diet and exercise as I was a Kinesiology major in college so I am health conscientious and take great pride in an animals healthy diet. All sorts of healthy treats and specialized exercise for your pets! I took a break from the corporate world so your pet is my priority. I like to take 2 walks per day but I have no problem going for runs on trails. Once in morning and once in the afternoon. Usually feed my dog twice per day after walks so whatever is your preference just let me know! I have a 2 bedroom house with a fenced backyard. Dependent upon your preference I can house your pet inside as I have plenty of space in the living room and spare bedroom. In your home I’d have outmost respect with whatever you are comfortable with. Just let me know whatever routine your canine friend has. I can easily follow instructions and create a schedule for your canine friend.
“Angelica is absolutely the best! She took such great care of our shy lab and kept us at ease with constant communication and updates throughout her check ins. Her patience and kindness meant so much to us, and it was clear our shy boy felt comfortable with her. He was excited to see her every time! We’re so grateful to Angelica for taking such wonderful care of Chip. Highly recommend!”

About: I have had animals since I was a child and I have always been very responsible and loving towards my furry friends. I am very good with dogs cats and small animals like rats, mice, guinea pigs etc. I may be young but I have a lot of experience with animals and I care about them so much!! I am very calm and patient with animals and I understand how new people or situations can be scary for them. I just want your fur babies to be as comfortable as possible. I am currently in college at Chabot community college. I’m usually at school at least three days a week, but it varies from semester to semester. I always make sure that i follow the instructions given to me by the pets parent. I also will make sure that your fur baby gets the proper care, love and attention as needed. I always double check doors, windows and cages to make sure that they are all locked and secured properly before and after the visit. I will make sure that there is food and water available and if you have a feeding schedule just let me know and I will follow it. I always check your pets living, eating and sleeping areas for anything that could possibly be harmful and I’ll make sure to clean it up and let you know.
“Star is great! I have a nervous nelly of a german shepherd and she loves Star. She is always well fed and looked after when I’m gone. Star sends pictures, let’s me if Zelda is being a weirdo and gets plenty of attention. She is very responsive and helpful!”


About: I love pets! I’ve taken care of family members pets by feeding them or playing with them in their house. I’m unable to do so in my own house, but in others I’m very reliable. I did gig work sometimes on an app called gig work and am out of college for the summer, so I will have plenty of time to care for your fur babies! I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while staying in their familiar environment. I carefully follow feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and any special instructions from the owner. For overnight stays, I’ll make sure your pets feel relaxed and keep their normal routine while also respecting and caring for your home. I also love sending updates and photos so owners feel reassured while away.
“Another great experience having Vanessa check in on my cat Snorri. She is reliable, a great communicator with her detailed Rover reports and pics, and overall a thoughtful and nice person. When I'm away, I never worry and have a piece of mind that my kitty and home are safe and in great caring hands. Highly recommended!”

“Natalia took great care of our cats. Even our more cautious and anxious cat, who normally hides from new people, warmed up to her in just a few days. We'd definitely book her again.”

About: I have two fur babies kitty Mlilly and Doggo Milo. They sleep next to me and love to cuddle and spend time with me and each other. they sleep at 10 and get up around 7-8 for potty break. They play during the day to take their energy out and sleep in the evening. l have a patio where Milly likes to hangout on the fake grass and toys where they can hangout and play. Molly is a indoor cat so they don’t cross the fence
“Jason was completely reliable. We trusted him to feed both our cats twice a day, as well as clean the litter box. He followed our instructions and was very respectful and friendly. He even washed the dirty food bowls! We loved getting the updates and photos. Both our cats took to him—our kitten, Stella, totally adored him and looked forward to his visits. What more can you ask for? We’ll be booking him again!”

About: As avid dog lovers with over 15 years of experience, we've cared for various breeds, including our own Shih Tzu who sadly passed away last year. We also frequently looked after our brother’s French Bulldog, who happily reunited with our Shih Tzu, and a Siberian Husky, along with other family dogs. Living in a pet-friendly community with ample grassy areas, your pups will have plenty of space to roam and play. Before your drop-off, we'd love to arrange a meet and greet to acquaint ourselves with you and your furry companions! This is not our first time on Rover. We have been dog-sitting on Rover for about 3 years. The first two years were under a different account with our mom because of age. So we did it together with our parents and were very happy with both animal and human clientele who were just as happy with our services. If you would like to see reviews from then I can send over those Rover Account details as well! We understand the importance of ensuring both you and your beloved pets have peace of mind while you're away, and we're dedicated to providing them with a safe and enjoyable experience under our care! We are currently completely free, accommodating both weekdays and weekends. Our days will be completely catered to the needs of your babies. We understand the importance of convenience, offering flexible pick-up and drop-off times, including same-day services. Whether it's a weekday, weekend, or holiday, we're here to ensure seamless care for your beloved pets. We offer a fenced backyard patio and expansive grassy areas within our community, and we're happy to provide photos of the surroundings upon request prior to booking. Alternatively, we can arrange a meet and greet so you can explore our dog-friendly and secure neighborhood firsthand. Our area boasts ample walking spaces and provides poop bags for your convenience. For crate-trained dogs, we recommend bringing their crate to ensure their comfort. Additionally, please bring any items that will help your dog feel at ease and secure during their stay. If your dog requires medication, be sure to bring it along. While we do offer some dog treats, feel free to bring your pup's favorites to ensure they feel right at home. Your pets' comfort and safety are our top priorities, and we strive to make their stay as enjoyable as possible!

“Alisha was great. Looked after our ShihTzu for a few days (fairly last minute on a holiday weekend) which was much appreciated! She sent updates with the cutest pictures and made sure Hannah had everything she needed plus some. Came home to a happy pup. I will definitely use Alisha’s services again if she is still available in the future. Thanks again Alisha!”

San Leandro cat parents share their Rover experiences
Maricruz was absolutely wonderful with my two cats! She did a fantastic job managing their very different personalities and specific routines. One of my cats was all about playtime and cuddles with her, while my other cat hid the entire time and refused to eat out of anxiety. Maricruz was incredibly attentive and understanding—she patiently tried every trick I suggested to gently lure my skittish cat into eating. I felt so comforted knowing they were in such caring, capable hands. Highly recommend!

Alisha is absolutely wonderful. She took excellent care of our 16-year-old kitty girl. We lost her brother late last year and this was the first time Desie would be on her own during a trip. Alisha took patient effort to make sure she ate and sent plenty of pictures so we could see how our beloved little girl monster was doing. I really felt like I left my cat in the care of someone who loves her as much as I do. 100/10 will absolutely book again for a trip later this year.

Jiaji is an incredibly caring and loving sitter. She took excellent care of my cat, DeeDee, and kept me updated throughout the stay with detailed and thoughtful notes, which gave me so much peace of mind. One day, DeeDee unexpectedly threw up on the couch, and Jiaji handled everything so responsibly—she cleaned it right away and also checked with me to see if DeeDee needed any medication. Her attentiveness and communication really stood out. You can truly feel her genuine love and care for animal friends. We were very happy to have Jiaji as our cat caregiver while we were away, and I would absolutely recommend her to other pet parents.
