About: 🐾Trusted Care in a Loving Home Environment🤍 Animals have always been my greatest passion and purpose. I’ve dedicated my life to improving the welfare of our animal community. I’m well known in the rescue world and have worked alongside many rescues, assisting with T&R programs, Foster Care, Rehoming & Placement Assistance, Behavioral & Physical Rehabilitation, Feral Rehabilitation and more!. I’ve spent many years loving animals of all kinds — from training sea lions 🩶🦭, rehabilitating wildlife & domestic animals, fostering adoptive pets, bottle feeding babies, providing care for seniors & pets with various medical issues, assisting pet parents with hospice care, working with special-needs, behavioral issues & rescue pets who require patience, understanding, and expert care to of course providing professional pet care services. I have been offering pet care services to clients for over a decade. I have extensive experience in animal rehabilitation, including administering medication, performing life-saving procedures, supporting post-surgery recovery, and managing both physical and behavioral issues. Over the years, I’ve cared for countless animals with conditions such as arthritis, allergies, anxiety, collapsing tracheas, and other age-related or chronic illnesses. My background has equipped me with strong knowledge in pet illness prevention, senior care, physical therapy, and behavioral management. My home is very quiet and stress free. There are no children present or any people traffic. I take requests and make accommodations for pet owners, if a dog or cat is better suited as the only animal present during their stay, just let me know! I spend the duration of a booking and focus 100% of my effort entertaining and attending to pets. Your pet will never be unattended for the duration of a booking. We are kennel free, unless it’s part of your pets regular routine. I currently care for multiple rotating rescue animals and understand that every pet has their own story, needs, and comfort level. I approach each one with compassion, respect, and a calm, confident energy that helps them feel secure and loved. I’m also experienced with administering oral and topical medications, wound care, specialized diets, and gentle rehabilitation exercises to help pets heal and thrive.
“Christina was the best cat sitter we could have asked for while we were gone. She went above and beyond for my two fur babies! Her constant communication made us feel at ease and she sent many updates and lots of pictures! We loved her and can’t wait to use her again!”


About: Hiii I’m lucero:))! I’ve been around dogs my whole life and love being around them. I’ve had a corgi before and know my way around an energetic dog if ykyk haha. But overall I love taking care of dogs , I’m someone who deeply cares in the importance of taking care of an animal since I’ve a had a dog before and have two cats of my own right now. My goal is to be able to provide a safe, loved, and comfortable environment for your dog while you’re away. What sets me apart from other sitters is I’m patient and attentive. I take the time to build trust with each dog rather than expect that each dog will trust me instantly. I’ll follow instructions down to every detail and keep you updated! Those are aspects I really value too and will make it a priority for you:). I have open availability and able to provide weekly routines for your pet! I’m available for drop ins and pet sitting! Availability on weekdays and weekends at anytime!:) As a dog and cat owner myself, I understand how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pets with someone. I’ll provide a safe, loving environment, follow their routine, and keep you updated with photos and messages.

I offer drop-in visits and have plenty of experience, I have 5 cats of my own and 3 dogs and also have some experience in cat foster care, so I’m very comfortable with all kinds of personalities and needs. I truly love animals and would be happy to meet you and your kitties! Message me if you're interested! I will be starting Pharmacy tech school within a month but I have a very flexible schedule and am available most days throughout the week. I’m able to provide pet care during the day, evenings, and weekends. Occasionally, I may need to take my grandparents to appointments, but I always communicate in advance to make sure everything is planned and your pet’s care is not affected. I provide a safe, loving, and attentive environment for every pet in my care. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, and any special needs. I make sure pets feel comfortable and secure, whether in my home or theirs. I pay close attention to behavior and safety at all times, and I’m happy to give updates so you feel confident your pet is in good hands.
About: I've been a dog and cat owner since I was a child. I started taking care of my friend's dogs about 5 years ago. I would stay the night as well as visit them to let them outside. She recently got a great dane puppy that I check in on to let out and watched him for a few hours while he was being trained. I also have helped my partner's dogs, one of which is very anxious, while their family was out of town. I watched them, played with them, cuddled, and fed them. I am in community college right now, so my availability is most open on the weekends, Friday-Sunday. However, I also have afternoon availability for walks, check ins, potty breaks, and play dates during the week! I love to play with small to big dogs and cats, and I can watch them if they need to be let out. I also follow feeding instructions very specifically and dutifully. I have experience crating big dogs that are already crate trained, and I have been learning in my free time how to place train my own dogs, so I can assist in that training if needed given instruction.
About: About booking with me: -I need to do a meet and greet with new clients before I will sit. If you cancel a meet and greet I can't do the job. - I can provide a daily update with photos :) - While you are away I may have questions so please be able to have a way to answer them. And also incase of an emergency. I was a certified dog trainer at Petsmart. I have watched dog's with diabetes's and with epilepsy, and my own dog, Melody, had heart issues so I have to give her medication twice daily, pills. I have house sat and pet sat for many friends and family. I love doing it, I love meeting new animals. I love all animal's really. I’d be happy to do drop-in visits for your pets! 🐾 I can stop by twice a day for about an hour each visit to give them some love, attention, playtime, and make sure they’re doing well. 💕 I love cuddling with fur babies, or just hanging out with your pet for a while so they don't feel lonely. I will stop by and take care of your fur baby.

About: Hi there! My name’s Emma, I'm 25 years old. I’m a Dog and Cat Mama to three of my own fur babies, and work part time for the local school district. I've raised animals my whole life, and started pet sitting and dog walking for neighbors at 12, and I took care of the same animals regularly for nearly 6 years. Taking care of animals is second nature for me, and it's a fun way to help pay the bills. I do also have experience with epileptic dogs, elderly animals, and pets who need medicine regularly administered. Please feel free to message me with any questions! I work for the school district almost full time so have limited availability throughout the school year, with more availability during “winter break” and full time availability throughout summer break. I am only able to go to client's homes, I do not have the space to house client's pets. That being said, I treat and care for every animal as if it was my own. For client's I make myself daily checklists for the pets needs to make sure I never miss a thing.

I’ve been and capable to watch, walk, play and make sure your loved one gets all the attention as if they were my own. I absolutely love dogs & cats. I’ve grown up with many pets before, and now I have a sweet, yet energetic of my own. I love to walk and I would love to get the opportunity to walk your dog. I’m currently a full-time artist at home. I’m almost home 24/7. I’m only gone for 2 hours to go to the gym. However, I do keep my dog inside the crate too so I would need your dog to be crate trained in case I need to leave the house. This provides a safety and peaceful nap-time for the babies so when I come back, we are all ready to play again! I’m very respectful and clean of one’s property and of my own. I follow instructions clearly and ask important questions needed to ensure I have all the correct info. All always update you and ensure your fur baby is happy & loved :)

About: Local to Bay Area/Crockett for 2026 holiday sitting — I am very interested in providing my services ASAP, please reach out if you’re interested in booking! Happy to answer any and all questions. Thanks. Hi friend! I am an animal lover through and through and I’d love to better utilize my flexibility by being a compassionate resource to those pets who need some extra love, attention, support, exercise, or fresh air when you’re simply not as available as you wish you could be. I have been entrusted to dogsit for several friends pups (of all sizes) and many cats, and was lucky enough to share 13 years with my dog Gunther and 12 years with my gray shorthair cat Wilbur.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Sand Hill
This was my very first time using someone other than a trusted family member to take care of our beloved cat. Luckily I matched with Abby and from our first meeting, I felt very comfortable knowing she would care for my kitty with compassion and kindness. Abby was very astute to my needs as a pet owner and really set my mind at ease! The picture updates were awesome as well as the personal messages really comforted us knowing our cat’s emotional and physical needs were being met. Thanks again!

Kieran was super nice and was always on time . He did everything I asked for and though my very shy cat never came out from under the bed , Kieran was fantastic in taking care of her and doing everything that I asked him to do ! I will absolutely hire him again and definitely recommend him to anyone who is looking for a reliable pet sitter thanks Kieran

We were nervous hiring someone for the first time and Tina’s profile stood out. We met her in person before the services and she seemed like a wonderful person. She watched our cat for 2 days and we got so many pictures and videos. Our boy liked her from the moment he met her during meet and greet and I think she liked him too. Wonderful service and we highly recommend her. We are happy to have found someone that we can use again to watch our pets. Thank you Tina

Melissa looked after my cat while I was away, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. She was reliable and attentive. Communication was excellent. I received regular updates, which gave me peace of mind knowing my cats were safe and comfortable. She followed instructions carefully, gave medication and prescribed diet on schedule to one of them who is sick. She was brave enough to learn how to do a fluids IV. I highly recommend Melissa to anyone looking for a sitter who is not only reliable but also compassionate and capable of handling special needs.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
