Pet Sitting & Drop Ins In Sobrante Park

About: Hi there! I’m a total people person with a heart that easily extends to pups of all sizes! I’ve been working as an Autism Specialist since I was 19, so patience, intuition, and building strong, trusting connections are truly my superpowers. I like to say I have that special energy humans and dogs both adore! For the past 7 years, I’ve been dog sitting for families in and around my neighborhood, as well as my parents’ neighborhood, caring for their fur babies like they’re my own. I understand how important it is for your dog to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I live in a spacious 2bedroom apartment with a spare room that gives pups plenty of indoor space to play and relax. Our complex also has lots of grassy areas perfect for fresh air, potty breaks, and nice walks. Whether your dog loves a structured routine, playtime, or cozy cuddle sessions, I’m happy to meet their needs! I’m reliable, communicative, and naturally attentive. and I genuinely get excited to host and care for pups in my home. Your dog’s happiness and well being will always be my priority. I can’t wait to meet your fur baby! 🐶✨ I work from home on Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays, so your pup will have lots of supervision and attention on those days! I’m also available most weekends if you’re planning a little getaway and need reliable care! I care for every dog like they’re my own, keeping them on their normal routine as much as possible. I provide plenty of supervised playtime, structured walks, potty breaks, and cozy rest time in a safe, calm environment. I pay close attention to each dog’s personality and needs, whether they’re energetic and playful or prefer quiet cuddles and relaxation.

“Marlene just did the first drop in visit for our two dogs. She was very communicative, punctual, and made sure to secure the house when she left. Plus it was a very rainy day, and she got the dogs all cleaned up when they came in from the yard. Glad we found a reliable person.”

About: Ever since I was young, I have cared for many different kinds of animals and pets, from small ones like turtles and golden fish, to later adopting my first German Shepherd and my first cat. After that, the way I felt about pets completely changed. They were no longer just animals for me to take care of. In my heart, they became companions, and eventually true family members. From a young age, I naturally became interested in learning more about animals, especially cats and dogs. I started researching pet care, behavior, and the knowledge needed to understand them better. I believe every pet is different. As animal's friends, we need to be patient enough to listen, attentive enough to observe, and willing to truly understand their feelings, needs, and personalities. This mindset and these experiences have gradually deepened my passion for the pet industry and led me to step into this field. I’m a full-time caregiver and I understand that life can be unpredictable, so I offer same-day requests and one-day cancellation for added flexibility. available 24/7 to support your needs. Feel free to message/call me if you have any concern. Communication is the key. I have fenced yard and a friendly dog and two cats to keep your fur buddy company. If you request a private space, I have another individual unit with no pet. I’ll keep you updated on your pet’s activity and share their little vacation through messages, photos, and videos. Whether you’re at work, attending an event, or traveling, you can have peace of mind knowing how they’re doing at any time. We’ll spend quality time playing, walking, and keeping them engaged, so they stay happy and never bored. f you need any in-home service, we will also make sure everything is handled according to your instructions, preferences, and household rules.

“Zenzele dropped in with little notice when I mixed up my schedule, saving me an hour roundtrip when my pup needed to be hugged and fed. Thanks, Zenzele 👍🏼”

“Natalia took great care of our cats. Even our more cautious and anxious cat, who normally hides from new people, warmed up to her in just a few days. We'd definitely book her again.”

About: As avid dog lovers with over 15 years of experience, we've cared for various breeds, including our own Shih Tzu who sadly passed away last year. We also frequently looked after our brother’s French Bulldog, who happily reunited with our Shih Tzu, and a Siberian Husky, along with other family dogs. Living in a pet-friendly community with ample grassy areas, your pups will have plenty of space to roam and play. Before your drop-off, we'd love to arrange a meet and greet to acquaint ourselves with you and your furry companions! This is not our first time on Rover. We have been dog-sitting on Rover for about 3 years. The first two years were under a different account with our mom because of age. So we did it together with our parents and were very happy with both animal and human clientele who were just as happy with our services. If you would like to see reviews from then I can send over those Rover Account details as well! We understand the importance of ensuring both you and your beloved pets have peace of mind while you're away, and we're dedicated to providing them with a safe and enjoyable experience under our care! We are currently completely free, accommodating both weekdays and weekends. Our days will be completely catered to the needs of your babies. We understand the importance of convenience, offering flexible pick-up and drop-off times, including same-day services. Whether it's a weekday, weekend, or holiday, we're here to ensure seamless care for your beloved pets. We offer a fenced backyard patio and expansive grassy areas within our community, and we're happy to provide photos of the surroundings upon request prior to booking. Alternatively, we can arrange a meet and greet so you can explore our dog-friendly and secure neighborhood firsthand. Our area boasts ample walking spaces and provides poop bags for your convenience. For crate-trained dogs, we recommend bringing their crate to ensure their comfort. Additionally, please bring any items that will help your dog feel at ease and secure during their stay. If your dog requires medication, be sure to bring it along. While we do offer some dog treats, feel free to bring your pup's favorites to ensure they feel right at home. Your pets' comfort and safety are our top priorities, and we strive to make their stay as enjoyable as possible!

About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I was around 9 years old. Grew up with 5 dogs, rabbits, chickens, and iguanas. Have always had an aptitude for being a dog whisperer and I am an overall active person. I have had 5 litters of puppies growing up and just recently had a litter of white labs. Love going to the beach, going on trail runs, and biking. I specialize in diet and exercise as I was a Kinesiology major in college so I am health conscientious and take great pride in an animals healthy diet. All sorts of healthy treats and specialized exercise for your pets! I took a break from the corporate world so your pet is my priority. I like to take 2 walks per day but I have no problem going for runs on trails. Once in morning and once in the afternoon. Usually feed my dog twice per day after walks so whatever is your preference just let me know! I have a 2 bedroom house with a fenced backyard. Dependent upon your preference I can house your pet inside as I have plenty of space in the living room and spare bedroom. In your home I’d have outmost respect with whatever you are comfortable with. Just let me know whatever routine your canine friend has. I can easily follow instructions and create a schedule for your canine friend.

“Nicole communicated and sent a photo of my cat every day I was out of town. When I had an ant invasion, she was able to find and set out the ant traps I remembered I had, which successfully distracted the ants away from the food and water bowls. My cat often doesn't love to be around strangers, but she very quickly warmed up to Nicole as soon as they met. She was great!!”

About: Been the primary source of training and exercise for my family’s dogs since I was 13. With training large breed dogs, specifically Rottweilers and various rescues. I have a lot of experience with larger willful breeds, but also have had a few years of smaller fluffier breeds like French poodles. I am currently the primary caregiver of my son and so taking him and Sierra for walks and play dates is ver much part of my day. I have a fenced in yard for my 3 year old Rottweiler but take longer walks along Lake Chabot on the regular. She is an inside dog and has been trained to be very friendly as I have two elderly cats who are decidedly not friendly towards her. That said when we are not home I have seen the cats snuggle the dog via the doggy cam!

“Vanessa is a kind, warm hearted, caring, pet lover and she treated our Nameste with all the TLC that he need in our absence. She did all that we requested, including pictures of our little guy. I would recommend her to others and I would definitely use her again.”

About: Hi, Meghan here, I have always been a dog-lover. I live in Oakland with my mom, a fellow dog-lover! I allow our furry friends on the couch, but can also work on furniture-boundaries if your pooch isn't allowed on furniture at your own home. I work from home, so I'll be home most of the day during the weekdays. The longest your pup will be home alone (with my pups) is around 5 hours. I am comfortable with big dogs. I can give medications, and can brush your pooch as well! Here's a little about us: Meghan has been a dog-lover since birth. She grew up with dogs of all shapes and sizes. Treesa loves pups of all sizes! Meet my pets: Just the dogs! About my yard We have a fenced backyard. My experience administering medication We are comfortable administering oral medication. **We do have a Potty Clause. We understand accidents happen, and are very forgiving, as pups are often excited and can't help themselves at first. However, we have occasionally had extreme repeat offenders. We take dogs on the basis that they are potty trained. If we feel there are an excessive number of indoor incidents, we will let you know, and ask for a $10 additional fee (per week, or fraction thereof), to cover the cost of laundry and cleaning supplies.** Thanks! I work from home so your pup will hang out with me at home, join me on walks, and get to spend the day with me! I have a fenced yard. Security gate at my back door means fresh air without escape opportunity. We're working on installing a dog door, so that should happen later this year!

“Megan did such an amazing job taking care of our pup for us. It is obvious that she LOVES dogs, and our dog LOVED her. She sent us lots of pictures and videos and went completely above and beyond what was expected. We are so grateful and will definitely ask Megan to take care of our pup again, especially since I’m pretty sure our dog misses her already. Thank you so much, Megan!”

“Charlette was so awesome with my dog Millicent! My dog can be a little stand-offish. Charlette managed to gain Millicent's trust and took such excellent care of my baby. I will definitely be booking with her again. 😊”

“Alisha is a great dogsitter and even more understanding of our dogs that we consider our children. She did a wonderful job caring for our dogs that have separate personalities and we didn't worry one bit after her updates of them. She got our timid, frightful little dog to acclimate to her and feel trusted within a day and we couldn't have asked for anyone better to do the job!”

Gage A.

“As a first time Rover user, Pearl was a great choice of sitter! On short notice she was very accommodating, and took great care of my puppy Hugo. She was also very easy to get in touch with, and kept me updated on how each drop in went. I would definitely book with Pearl again, or recommend her to a friend!”

Marisa D.

“We love having Angie! She always does an amazing job caring for our boy while we’re away! She has great communication skills and is always on top of everything! We will use her again and again and recommend her for anyone needing someone trustworthy to love and care for their pet!”

Brooke S.

“Angelica is absolutely the best! She took such great care of our shy lab and kept us at ease with constant communication and updates throughout her check ins. Her patience and kindness meant so much to us, and it was clear our shy boy felt comfortable with her. He was excited to see her every time! We’re so grateful to Angelica for taking such wonderful care of Chip. Highly recommend!”
