“Barbara has taken excellent care of both of anxious/reactive big dog, and our home while we have been out of town. She is reliable and so helpful, I never have concerns leaving Rocky in her care. I recommend her to anyone looking for care for their pups!”
“Adela is fantastic! Adela follows all my instructions and cares for my dog (Bowie) as if he was her own. Adela stays overnight at my home and she is super respectful, clean and kind. Highly recommend!”
About: My pet care experience includes looking after cats, dogs, fish, and hamsters. I'm happy to maintain litter boxes, take dogs on long walks and play fetch, spend time with cats, administer pills and medications to any animal (even if they are not excited about it), and provide pets and scritches whenever needed I'm currently working 8-4:30 with open availability every early morning, evening, and weekend from now until June 6! During the summers, my availability will be completely open! I am experienced caring for pets in other people's homes, but unfortunately not in my own because I have two rescued cats of my own. I love taking dogs on walks, feeding and spending time with cats, and looking after all types of animals in your home!
“Trustworthy sitter that was super flexible with our schedule and attentive to our pup’s needs! House was spotless and dog was happy upon our arrival home. Will definitely plan to invite again!”
“Matt is always great with our dog, Elliott. He was very responsible with Elliott's medication schedule and attentive to his emotional needs. I'll be re-booking Matt for our next trip as well. Thank you, Matt!”
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats my whole life. I have seen pets through life from young to elderly, providing medications and cleaning up countless messes. Nothing will surprise me. I attune to pet personalities well: I love snuggling with the snuggly ones, take care around skittish ones, and everything in between. I am punctual and respectful of your time and space. I’m currently working part-time from home and I am available on short notice to provide care for your loved ones. I am quick to respond and can travel within the East Bay comfortably. I provide loving care in the form of house and pet-sitting, dog walking, feeding, medications, play time, snuggling, and more. I am a highly attuned individual, so I will learn your pet’s needs and meet them where they are at. I work comfortably with pets with boundaries, aggression, skittishness, and other high needs. As a house and pet-sitter, I always leave the home exactly as I found it. I respect your property and make your pet’s safety the highest priority. I will follow your guidelines to the letter and I’m happy to send you pictures to help your mind be at ease.
“Josie is an absolute angel! Not only did Josie take great care of Bowie, but also went above and beyond by picking him up from the previous sitter that gave her the wrong pickup instructions, persevered to find and pick up Bowie, and took him to the vet to make sure Bowie is okay due to our worries with the previous sitter, all with amazing communication and accommodating last minute requests. We later found out that Josie‘s perseverance and undeterred help might have saved Bowie‘s life. She even nursed Bowie back to health by encouraging him to eat and giving lots of love. Josie was also super respectful and tidy with our apartment while sitting Bowie at our place. She even stayed with Bowie for 8 hours every day to make sure that Bowie gets enough play, attention, and love. She even made a great effort to clean the little accident Bowie had when he wasn’t feeling well. She sent plenty of updates with Bowie and took great care of our dog. We are eternally grateful to Josie and would recommend her to everyone.”
“Hollie was very flexible about my return timing and did a good job of keeping Sheba on schedule for food and walks. She also shared updates to keep me informed while I was gone, which I really appreciated.”
“Laura’s first time dog sitting for us went smoothly. This was an overnight trip. She sent us photo updates and was responsive when we texted to check in. When we got home, the house was tidy, their water bowls were filled, and Cannoli and Da Vinci were in good spirits. We’ve booked Laura for an extended stay while we’re on an international trip. Thanks, Laura!”
“Matthew was able to watch Charlie last minute and was great to work with. Matthew kept me updated, sent pictures, and Charlie seemed very happy and well cared for. Will definitely book again!”
“Shareese was amazing with our dog, Goose! Goose is a very anxious and reserved dog around new people but he warmed up to her really fast. Shareese was patient and responsible and left us at ease! will continue to book with Shareese every chance we can!”
“Qishu was amazing with our high energy dog and extremely communicative with us. We received lots of updates and pictures over all the days we were gone. We would unreservedly recommend Qishu to anyone!”
“Samantha was great with my two fur babies during the holidays: communicative and sending pics throughout the stay. She was also super patient with all of the security at my complex. Would definitely recommend to anyone who needs someone to look after their furry companions!”
“This was our first time booking with Vanclee and it was a great experience from start to finish. He responded quickly to our initial message and made setting up the meet and greet very easy. He was very prompt for the meet and greet as well as on the day of sitting and key handoff. He followed all directions and kept our apartment very clean. Most importantly, he took excellent care of Hampton and Neko. We could tell from the photos and updates he sent that they were comfortable and well cared for, and when we arrived home they were happy and completely themselves. We really appreciated his calm and chill vibe, which our pups responded to right away and clearly put them at ease. We are very thankful and will absolutely recommend Vanclee and book with him again.”
“This was our second time trusting Nicky to watch our dogs, and she did a fabulous job once again. During our week-and-a-half international trip, she kept us updated with plenty of photos and updates—our dogs always looked happy and healthy. When I returned, the house was tidy, the dogs were freshly brushed, their eyes were clean, and their water bowls were full. I couldn’t have asked for more peace of mind while being so far away. I have no complaints and would absolutely hire her again!”
“Meshaal was a wonderful dog and house sitter! He has a calm demeanor and is very professional. He took excellent care of our senior dog who has some health needs and took care of all his medications with no issues. He also promptly responded to all our check in messages. Our dog loved Meshaal and and was crying when he left! Meshaal also left our house better than we left it. Looking forward to rebooking with Meshaal again in the future. Would definitely recommend Meshaal to others!”
“Shivani was incredible and the best sitter we’ve had! She took such great care of our pup, our two cats, and our home. Our pup is fairly reactive and has some big feelings about the world, so it can be hard to find people she is comfortable with. She seemed to be quite at ease with Shivani and enjoyed her time with her! Our shy cat also loved Shivani! Shivani also sent a lot of updates about our pets, which was soooo incredibly helpful and really put us at ease while we were away! Truly can’t say enough positive things about her and we will definitely ask her to sit for us in the future!”

Richard was excellent watching my dogs overnight at my place for two nights. He was very loving and patient with my anxious pupper and by the end they were getting along great. Richard was also a very respectful house guest and left the place better than he found it. Highly recommend!
Devyn was great! I reached out last moment and Devyn responded very quickly so that we were still able to set things up. The day of the service I realized that I messed up the schedule and needed to shift the appointment by a few hours—Devyn was still able to accommodate which she absolutely didn't have to! She sent me photos and videos of my pup during the day and it looked like they had a great time. Cannot recommend enough!
Francis was absolutely amazing with our dogs and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. He was attentive, reliable, and clearly cared for them like they were his own. Our dogs all have different personalities and routines, and he handled everything thoughtfully — from walks and feeding schedules to bedtime quirks and crate routines. He kept us updated regularly, was very communicative, and left our home in great condition. The dogs were happy, calm, and well cared for when we returned, which says everything. We would absolutely trust Francis again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dependable and caring dog sitter.
Robert went out of his way to make sure my rescue dog, Velvet, would be taken care of for a weekend sit - arranging pre-visits to ensure Velvet would feel safe and comfortable with him. Robert was an excellent communicator, very responsive and reliable, and is genuinely very caring toward animals! My dog can be shy and uncomfortable with strangers, but warmed up to Robert quickly because of his extra efforts to help Velvet feel safe. They become snuggle buddies quickly! I would recommend Robert to anyone who wants a solid sitter, who can offer peace of mind while away!
Goes above and beyond for our dogs. Responsive, considerate, and highly professional. We had a flight delays and she was able to add in an extra walk without problem. We have nothing but the highest regard for her and we know our dogs are in the best hands anytime we leave. Wish I could give more than 5 stars
Elisabeth is kind, responsive, and provides the highest level of care for pets - she is better than we ever imagined a sitter on Rover could be! We will without question be requesting Elisabeth again to care for our cat while we are away. She gave us such a peace of mind that our cat was in great hands that we will consider adjusting our travel plans to ensure that Elisabeth is available to care for our cat. We were a bit nervous to leave our super senior cat with very specific medical needs, but Elisabeth quickly helped us relax into vacation mode! She took the most amazing care of our sweet cat - giving her daily medications (oral, topical, and injections). Elisabeth sent daily updates - including weighing how much food our cat ate (just like we do) so we had accurate data to provide to our vet. She purchased supplies that would help us dispense a new medication easier. Elisabeth also left our home in pristine condition - she even washed the sheets and made the bed before leaving.
