“Becca is very good with communicating; they are attentive and comfortable with both of our dogs — they only walked our sweeter easier dog but at meet and greet, our energetic one, who is usually anxious around strangers seems to take on with Becca well — we would probable use their service again! Thank you Becca!”

“Simply put Alexandria is awesome! She was very prompt in replying to my initial inquiry for walks. She was prompt and very personable for “our meet and greet” to go over my pups routine. She also”
“Alexis was great and made themself available at short notice. Alexis was responsive, communicated effectively and was attentive to our dogs needs. Alexis made me feel at ease knowing my doggo was being cared for. I would highly recommend Alexis to anyone with animal care needs!”

About: I absolutely love all animals! Growing up, my family always had a minimum of two dogs at a time. Since I was young, I have been trusted by friends and family members to watch over not only their pets, but their plants as well. As an adult living alone with a demanding work schedule, I have only ever had 1 cat at a time in my home however my plant game has grown to a bit of a jungle! On top of taking care of animals, I also LOVE a clean house and I take it upon myself to always leave people’s homes cleaner than I found them in! I’m currently looking to open my own business doing just that: Pet sitting and deep cleaning while folks are out of town. In my opinion, there is nothing better than coming home from a vacation or a work trip to a clean home and a happy animal! I have been working with Meowtel watching cats for the last year and have found it to be exceptionally rewarding. Recently, my sweet cat passed away and I left my demanding job. Due to these circumstances I have decided that since I have the time and opportunity, opening my home to board would be a great way to expand my offerings. I look forward to meeting this community and giving dog (cat, plant, etc.) owners peace of mind while they travel, get stuck working a double, or just want to support their companion with an extra afternoon walk. I left my extremely demanding job in December after my cat got sick. I wanted to spend as much time with him as possible. Since his passing, I have focused on taking care of pets and cleaning homes. This has brought me more joy than any demanding corporate job, and I hope I can continue to work in this capacity for many years in the future. My schedule is very flexible! I am an animal lover living in an animal free home at this moment. Because of this, I am open to boarding in my home. I am not concerned with animals who want to sit on the couch with me or lay on the bed, but I will follow the rules of what they’re allowed to do at home if you prefer that. My home will be their home, and I will do everything to make sure that they feel safe and cared for while in my hands. I’m an active person and love taking long walk and hikes. So, if that’s something that your dog is into, I am happy to schedule an adventure that meets their mileage needs! On the contrary, if you have a small dog or one who just wants to go out for a stroll around the block or to do their business in the grass, I’m happy to do that too! I have a small unfenced side yard to accommodate. I live on the second floor, no elevator, so if your pup is not able to do stairs and too heavy to pick up, my home wouldn’t be a good fit.
“Michelle is fabulous with Cami. Cami has been really scared of strangers recently, and Michelle has done amazing trying to get cami to trust her. Highly recommend working with Michelle, especially if you have an angsty dog!”

“I’m so happy that we chose David to walk our dog for two weeks while we were away! He was super attentive and kind to our dog. Loved every update of their walks including, our dog’s demeanor and what each walk entailed. He went the extra mile to care for him. Our pup got extra love and a nice treat for the holidays! Really appreciate his kindness and help while we felt at ease that our dog was in great hands with David. Highly recommend him!”

About: As a lifelong animal lover, I'm here to give you a seamless and easy pet sitting experience, caring for your babies as if they were my own. I've cared for all sorts of dog combinations, from solo to four at a time, healthy to healthyish to in the middle of a ruff time & managing all the special care, vet visits, and medications that come with it. I'm newer to cats, but adept in picking up on their cues and keeping up with all the many details passed along when pet parents put their babies in my care! As far as care & training philosophy, I believe only in a positive reinforcement environment and follow the owner's cues to make sure your babies are as comfortable with me as with you, without adding any confusion! In my professional career, I am a data and details person, skilled in managing spreadsheets and projects with all sorts of details, and I bring that detailed care to everything I do, including monitoring all aspects of your pet(s)' safe and loving care with me 💕 Flexible and adaptable schedule to your needs, as I live by myself and am currently in between jobs focusing on personal entrepreneurial projects. Based in Oakland, I have a car and am frequently traveling around the Bay Area, especially into SF and the Lamorinda area. You are the expert of your space and pets, and I take cues and direction from you to ensure every aspect of your pet(s)' care is accounted for (also have spent the last 7 years working in accounting!). My time with your pet(s) should feel as comfortable as if a trusted family member or friend is watching your babies, with all the extra love and attention you like to provide, including whatever recreation keeps your pet(s) happy. At a baseline, I ensure all the important needs and details are managed as if you were around, with as-frequent updates as you need to feel comfortable and connected while you are away. I'm a skilled communicator and multitasker (taking pics while walking multiple dogs) and happy to provide whatever silly/cute/direct updates of your pet(s)' care work for you.
About: I've been taking care of kitties for my entire life, and more recently, dogs! So far, I've worked with hyper dogs, an anxious dog, and a sick dog, so I'm comfortable with a variety of energies. It's always such a pleasure to be around pets, and I look forward to meeting your fur babies! I currently have a pretty open schedule besides some remote work I do twice a week. The days I have set for my availability are pretty consistently open, and other days, I can be flexible if you reach out in advance In a new space, I allow them to find a space they feel comfortable in and hang out with them for as long as they need to get adjusted. In a client’s home, I’d clarify everything with the client to make sure I’m attending to the pet’s needs appropriately
“Ruby is the absolute BEST! She is so sweet and kind to my pup! Ruby has great communication, is professional and easy to work with. I am a crazy dog mom and I trust Ruby 100%! She is reliable and gives great updates and pictures.”


About: I have been a pet/ house sitter for the last 12 plus years. I have looked after animals ranging from dogs and cats of all different breeds, anges, and sizes! I am also familiar with pets who have ailments such as diabetes, and vision, and hearing loss. I have a four day work week and my work day schedule can vary. I am never away from the home for more than 8 hours at a time on my scheduled work days, however, I do live close to where I work and have the flexibility to pop over and take care of potty breaks. I always make time for walks, feedings, and attention throughout the day:) I prioritize creating trust and a safe environment for the animals I look after. Making sure that your pets receive their desired attention is important to me. Keeping to their scheduled feedings, potty breaks, and walk times is something else that I like to make a priority to help ensure they are as comfortable as possible while you’re away!
“Anna-Christine was so thoughtful and kind with Rilo. From the photos I received, it was clear Rilo was having the best time. Anna-Christine’s flexibility and communication were top notch! Rilo can’t wait for her next visit with Anna-Christine.”

“Thank you for the last minute walk Cindy. We greatly appreciate it! Glad the pups were more responsive to you. So sorry we didn’t leave enough treats, glad you found the extras.”

“Jasmine is awesome! She was so understanding and flexible about some changes to my booking and was super easy to communicate with about Cassidy's schedule & being apart of my Cassidy Care Crew ™️. She consistently sent little updates and great photos, and my Care Crew was able to flow so smoothly while I had to be away from the pup. Jasmine was 10/10, I'll be checking with her first the next time I need some extra support with Cassidy!”

“Nick is wonderful!! He takes great care of our pup and not just walks him but takes him playing in the park sometimes!! We really like working with him!! Thank you so much, Nick!”
Santa Fe dog parents share their Rover experiences
Chewy can be very shy and takes time to warm up to new people so unfortunately they weren’t able to complete the walk this time. However, she was very patient, calm, and really tried her best the entire hour. I truly appreciated her kindness and understanding with him.

Kirsten was amazing with Bowie and took the time/care to provide him with some training and enrichment during his walk. Bowie immediately fell in love with Kirsten and was excited to learn new tricks despite being a 6 year old pup. Would definitely recommend her and would love to have her care for Bowie again!

Tim provided wonderful care for my puppy during a difficult time. They understood her needs, communicated clearly, were really respectful of my home. I noticed that they remembered specific concerns I had made sure to keep those im mind. I also appreciated the thoughtful pictures they sent and their intentionality in the details they provided about how the care went and how much puppy was doing. Thank you, Tim!

Natalie is a great dog walker! She has a calming influence and spent extra time to get our dog comfortable with her, before a weeklong stints of 2x day walks. She also sent us photos so we could see he missed us less by the day. Will reach out to Natalie again when we have the need!
