“Hollie is the best. She's thoughtful, attentive, and communicative. She truly went above and beyond when some big challenges arose during her stay -- and our dog was still so well cared for. Thank you Hollie!”

“Alejandra was great on sending photos and keeping me updated throughout the day! As Samson gets older he has a lot of meds and needs but she did good job getting him to take all his meds. My apt was in the same condition as I left it.”

“Wow! What an incredible sitter Hong was. This is the first time I have ever been away from my fur babies and not worried once. She was so communicative the entire time and I came back to happy dogs and a pristine house. If I could give her 10 stars I would! Thank you again Hong. ❤️”

“Angela was amazing! She offered to do a meet and greet before sitting, which was perfect for my dog who is a little wary of new people. I also got plenty of updates and pictures. And I was able to enjoy my time away worry free because she was in such good hands.”

“Katie did a fabulous job catsitting for my kitty! I was nervous because I had never booked someone for overnight sitting on rover before, but she made it easy and was responsive, friendly and flexible. Would definitely book her again!”

“Michelle was absolutely fabulous! She was able to watch my two dogs on very short notice while I was in Oakland to visit family. My dogs loved her! She took great care of them, taking them on multiple walks throughout the day and providing attention when needed. She we be the first person I reach out to when I am in the Oakland area again. Thank you Michelle!”

“Ollie took to Samantha right away. Judging from all of the great pictures Samantha shared when sending her daily updates, he looked like he was having a really good time while we were away. We would most definitely ask Samantha to dog- and housesit again if and when the need arises. 😊”

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.

“Belinda took excellent care of our dog and home for over a week. We would wholeheartedly recommend her! We were new to Rover and nervous about leaving our very elderly dog. Belinda helped us to feel so at ease. She was attentive, kind, and patient with our dog who was experiencing many age-related changes, including loss of vision. She took the time to get to know her, gently encouraged her on many more walks than we have been able to, and handled all of her quirks, including anxiety and occasional accidents with grace. Belinda was also a reliable communicator, sent great updates and pictures, and left the house in excellent shape! We feel so, so grateful to have found her.”

“Noel is amazing and I’m so grateful she was able to stay at my apartment and watch Nala while I was out of town! She was great to work with from the start, and came to meet Nala in advance and make sure she knew everything she’d need to take care of her. She sent me lots of updates, made sure Nala had her medication, and left the house in better shape than when she arrived! Thank you!!”

“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!”

About: I’ve taken care of of dogs since I was about 7, I’ve owned two as a child growing up. As an adult I spent most of my years as a single soldier as a mechanic and many of my coworkers need it sitters for a variety of dogs that I was always happy to assist with. Currently I’m a full time student working on my degree in audio design. I typically have classes twice a week with one online. On the weekends I dj Saturday nights 9-1am. I’m a very active person I run 2 miles to the gym at 6am 5 times a week and walk back after my workout. I’m a 16 year military veteran and have a lot of past experience with helping raise, walk and watch a variety of different animals while I was single and on active duty so now that I have more time on my hands it would be a great way to stay active throughout the week! I typically don’t keep animals at my home, but in other people’s home I always like to be introduced to the pet by the owner and have a very in depth overview of the things their animals absolutely do not like. After that I really like to know the owners worries and what things they need in terms of communication to keep them comfortable. As for the interaction I definitely want to be slow with the pet has any sort of anxiety but I love to give them lots of attention weather that’s to play with them talk to them or let them get comfortable by sitting on my lap or holding them.

About: I would love to care for your pet and provide them as much walks, runs, or scritches. I have taken care of cats and my rambunctious dog Kona as well as several rover friends when I was in college. I am prepared for all sorts of personalities and super excited to help out. I work from home most days so am happy to go on many walks and feed them on whatever schedule that they are accustomed to. We live near parks so the neighborhood is a convenient area to walk around. Our household has no pets and I only want to care for one pet at a time, so the home will be private and they will have our undivided attention. I live in the temescal Piedmont area and would love to take your pet out on frequent walks.

“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!”

“Alix did an excellent job taking care of Cassie. She was prompt and friendly and very responsible. When our plane was delayed, she was very sympathetic and stayed longer than requested to make sure our dog, who has separation anxiety, was not left alone too long. We will definitely be using her again.”
