Pet Sitting San Pablo Gateway

“Cyvanah was wonderful with my baby boi Hilo. I especially appreciated the multiple photos and summaries of each day from Cyvanah. It put my mind at ease and I looked forward to each update while away. She bonded with my kitton spectacularly and he was cuddling on her lap in no time. She has a way with cats and I would trust Cyvanah with any fur baby of mine. She is professional, punctual and a great communicator.”

About: *I only board dogs from one home at a time* I love to jog around Lake Merritt, and I'd be happy to take your fur baby along for a run! I've cared for dogs and cats, healthy and sick, with very specific dietary restrictions and activity needs. I wish I could have my own pet, but since I travel pretty often, this is the next best thing. :-) I’m a Product Manager with a hybrid work schedule. Rest assured, I can easily get from work to home on in-office days for walks/drop-ins if needed. I also work at a dog friendly office. I am available most days for drop-ins 2x/day. On weekday evenings, I typically go on runs (with/without dogs!). Expect many photos of your fur baby while you're away! I'm happy to drop in to check on food, water, litter (for cats), and take your pup on walks. I am very detail oriented, so if you have very particular instructions regarding diet or preferences while outside, you can trust me to follow them. For boarding, I have bowls for water and food as well as doggy waste bags. You would need to provide their food, treats, toys, (litter for kitties), and anything else to make their stay more comfortable!

“Ayanna took great care of my 2 cats! She was very responsive, sent videos to check how she gave my cat medication, and lots of photos, I’ll definitely be booking again!”

About: I adore dogs. I can’t have my own so I cherish every moment! I’ve done a good amount of dog sitting/ walking both small and large dogs. We have a great time, I love playing with them, taking them out as many times a day as they like, and having sleepovers to keep them company. I have a pretty flexible schedule so I am often able to make lots of different times/days work. Weekends are totally fine for me as well. In my house I only have space for a small dog. I have two cats. I am able to take them on as many walks as they need a day, play with them, cuddle them, make sure they’re comfy and having a good time. At a clients house it is similar except any size dog or cat is good for me!

“Fuliang did a great job. I felt my cat Alba was well cared for. I got a nice detailed report on the last day. Could have used a picture of my cat everyday but otherwise I am a very satisfied customer and will use this sitter again for my pet sitting needs.”

About: While I'm new to Rover, I have over 10 years experience taking care of my friends and family's cats, dogs, insects, and plants. I'm excited to start this business on Rover and extend that pet/plant care to the people in my East Bay community! I'm a landscape horticulture student in Oakland, so when I'm not in class, working in my garden, or spending time with my own kitties, I love taking care of my friends, neighbors, and families' pets. They bring so much silliness and happiness into my routine! When walking your dogs or taking care of your pets in your home, respect, safety, and trust are my top priorities. The pet parents I work with know their pets best, and I take their guidance and wishes very seriously. When I'm housesitting, I treat clients' homes with even more respect than I treat my own.

“Jessica went above and beyond in caring for my rambunctious cat while I was out of town. My cat doesn’t always like people but he loved her right away and Jessica did such a wonderful job sending photos and updates. When I came home I could tell that my baby was well taken care of. I cannot recommend Jessica enough!”

“This was my 2nd time booking with Alejandra to check in with my puppy for 30 mins while I was at my office all day. Alejandra is so sweet and caring, my boy MoMo loves her so much! TYSM for taking such good care of him and accommodating all my requests! ❤️❤️❤️”

About: I provide calm, attentive care with a focus on routine and safety. I understand that every dog is different, and I aim to keep their environment steady and comfortable while you’re away. I enjoy taking dogs on regular walks and occasional hikes, giving them time to explore while keeping things structured and safe. I adjust to each dog’s energy level, whether they prefer an active outing or a more relaxed pace. I’m organized, communicative, and reliable, and I take pride in making pet parents feel comfortable and informed. You can expect clear updates, thoughtful communication, and plenty of photos so you can feel at ease while your dog is in my care.

About: I grew up with family cats and dogs and adopted my own puppy at 17 and quickly realized how much work a pet of your own is! I’ve been lucky to live with cats and dogs of roommates of all dispositions (both the roommates and their pets) and now have a charmer of a big orange cat with my fiancé. I’m comfortable with puppies over 3 months old and mostly potty trained, I don’t mind mouthy or jumpy pups and am happy to discourage behaviors according to their training. I’ve had experience with palliative care for two beloved senior dogs that required a little extra help and care and am happy to show your old buddy patience and TLC. Happy to do easy walks around the block or take longer adventures in Oakland’s redwoods! For cats and dogs I am comfortable administering most medications. I’m currently on a long break from full time work and have open week day availability for walks and visits, and can be available weekends with extended notice Ask someone who always wants pictures of my cat, I am happy to send you as many photos of your pet as you would like! I have a keen attention to detail and an above average ability to follow instructions, and I’m happy to do things your way. I have a backseat dog hammock for my car that make sure dogs of all sizes are able to get comfortable.

About: I have hands-on experience working with a variety of animals and am comfortable providing daily care while ensuring their health, safety, and well-being. My responsibilities have included feeding, cleaning living areas, monitoring behavior, assisting with grooming, and maintaining a safe and sanitary environment. Pet care is an important part of my daily routine, even while balancing a part-time job. I make time each day to ensure animals receive proper care, including feeding, providing fresh water, maintaining clean living spaces, and monitoring their overall health and well-being. I also prioritize exercise, enrichment, and social interaction to support their physical and emotional needs. By managing pet care alongside my work responsibilities, I have developed strong time-management, organizational, and multitasking skills while demonstrating reliability, compassion, and a commitment to responsible animal care. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. I provide fresh food and water, ensure living areas are clean and safe, administer basic care as instructed, and monitor pets for any changes in behavior, appetite, or overall health. I also provide exercise, playtime, enrichment, and companionship based on each pet’s individual needs. In a client’s home, I respect their property, follow all care instructions carefully, and provide updates on their pet’s well-being when requested. My goal is to create a safe, stress-free environment while ensuring pets receive attentive, compassionate, and reliable care.

“Stephanie was excellent! Both our girls absolutely loved her and we appreciated her detailed updates. We'll definitely book with her again in the future!”

“Alyssa was so great with my two cats. She had excellent communication, reliable, and super friendly! I really appreciated her willingness to coordinate a meet and greet with my mother while I was away, and would highly highly recommend her for any one needing a cat sitter. My girls loved her!”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong pet lover who has spent most of my life caring for animals and understand that pets are truly family. My most meaningful experience came from caring for my senior Chihuahua, whom I rescued from the streets and cared for during the last 5 years of his life. When I found him, he was estimated to be around 10 years old and had multiple health challenges, including a severely collapsed trachea. Caring for him taught me patience, attentiveness, consistency, and how important it is to provide pets with loving, reliable care—especially when they need extra support. In college, I also regularly walked neighbors’ dogs and have always been someone friends and family trust with their pets. Whether your dog needs a long walk, companionship while you’re away, or extra patience and care, I strive to treat every pet like my own. I’m available for dog walking and dog sitting and would love to meet your furry family members! I’m currently working part time so I have time to dog sit or walk during the mornings ,afternoons, and evenings Monday-Thursday and on weekends ! I’m attentive and 100% committed to caring for your pet while at your home. No distractions or chaos that can stress your fur baby :)

About: i’ve been a dog mom for 20+ years and have basically had dogs my whole life. i trained my own dog from puppyhood and i’ve helped friends (and other pet parents) with basic training and routine stuff too. i’ve taken multiple training classes, so i’m comfortable with things like leash manners, boundaries, and reinforcing good behavior in a calm, consistent way. i’m naturally really good with dogs and i’m great at reading their body language, even the ones that are anxious, reactive, or “don’t usually like people.” i’m patient, confident, and i keep things low-stress so pups feel safe and listened to. i work from home, so i’ve got plenty of time to give your pup real attention throughout the day (not just quick check-ins). i’m happy to do multiple walks a day, and since i’m near downtown oakland, we’ve got plenty of great walk routes, lake merritt, nearby parks, and lots of good “sniffari” streets. in my home, your pup gets a safe, relaxed setup with lots of attention. i have a fenced patio so they can hang in the sun and get fresh air, and inside they’ll have plenty of room to stretch out, lounge, and roam comfortably. we’ve also got nearby open spaces, fields, and trails for walks and play. depending on your dog and what you’re comfortable with, i can do off-leash play (only where it’s safe/appropriate) or keep everything leashed, solo adventures or playtime with my dogs if your pup enjoys company. i’m big on following your routine and keeping things consistent: feeding schedules, meds, crate time, training cues, slow introductions, whatever your dog needs. i’m totally comfortable with seniors, shy/anxious pups, and dogs with special instructions. and if your dog would do best with more backyard time, i can also utilize my girlfriend’s place nearby with a fully fenced backyard for extra outdoor play/sniff time (with your permission).

“Nicole is awesome! She seems to really care about Bella and came through for me at the last minute when I had to stay later than expected at work. Super positive and seems to really love animals. ?”
