“Dane was phenomenal with my dog and cat. He was patient, thorough and an excellent communicator. He gave my dog lots of walks. Would highly recommend!”


“Meshaal was a wonderful dog and house sitter! He has a calm demeanor and is very professional. He took excellent care of our senior dog who has some health needs and took care of all his medications with no issues. He also promptly responded to all our check in messages. Our dog loved Meshaal and and was crying when he left! Meshaal also left our house better than we left it. Looking forward to rebooking with Meshaal again in the future. Would definitely recommend Meshaal to others!”


“Anais did an amazing job of taking care of my dog and two kittens while we were out of town. She sent me photos, kept me informed with regular updates of how everyone was doing, and even noticed a potential health issue that I am having checked out. Can’t recommend her enough!”


“Erica stayed at my home and took great care of my two Tibetan Terriers. She was very responsive during her stay and sent pictures, which put my mind at ease. I came home to two happy babies and a clean home. I will definitely call on Erica again when I need a sitter.”


“G’La was amazing! She took such great care of Tuna and Finn while we were away for two nights and two and a half days. I felt totally at ease knowing they were in good hands. She was communicative, kind, and clearly loves animals — Tuna and Finn were so calm and happy when we got back. Couldn’t recommend her more. Will definitely be reaching out again!”


About: (I go by my middle name Miko as well) Throughout my life, I've been in contact with many different animals-from parrots to lizards, bunnies and guinea pigs. I've had the most experience with cats since I volunteer at my local animal adoption center and shelter in feline support. My dog experience is helping out walking or staying overnight with my friends' fur babies (senior or otherwise) if they are away. I cannot provide dog or cat boarding :(! I am currently a full time college student but I have plenty of time to spare with your pets! I am available during the day or overnight on weekends. On weekdays, I am available after 5pm and I am able to stay overnight on certain week days. I always try to make sure to stick to your pets regular routine to help them adjust to this new person taking care of them. I always want to take care of not only their physical well-being but their mental wellbeing!

“Korin was wonderful as always. This was our third time having her back and she took great care of our pup Louie. She is reliable, responsive, and very easy to work with. Thanks, Korin!”


“Alyssa was incredible! She took amazing care of Pip, was super communicative, and went way above and beyond! I felt 100% comfortable knowing Pip was getting lots of love and attention while I was away!”


About: From reptiles to dogs, I am an animal lover through and through! I have 4 of my own fur babies (2 dogs & 2 cats) and still have so much love and care to give to yours! I am affectionately known as “auntie” to my friend’s fur babies and will not hesitate to help any animal in need. From fostering & socializing kittens, to stopping on the freeway to save a kitten stuck in barbed wire (spoiler: I adopted her), to helping a lost dog find her home, and to finding and transporting an injured baby crow to a Wildlife Hospital, my dedication to animals is unmatched. Your pet will always be in kind and loving hands with me! I do have a full-time job during the work week but I am available weeknights and weekends! I’m available for short-term and long-term care for all animals! My pets, and soon to be yours hopefully, always have my undivided attention! I love taking my dogs for hikes, long walks, dog parks and anything to get them socialized, exercised and happy! My cats are basically treated like royalty in my home. Anything you pet needs, I will be there to provide it!

“Jesika and Jyhikeen sat for our 3 rambunctious cats for 10 days, and were wonderful! Great, caring communication, daily photos, and we came home to a clean house and happy cats. We'd absolutely hire them again.”


“Took such good care of my little ones and sent wonderful updates. Thank you so much!”


About: After working at 2 vet clinics while going to Carrington college for their vet tech program I was almost able to finish my degree. However I injured my wrists at the same time working at Starbucks. So since then I decided to hone my dog training skills and trained my own service dog using balanced training methods. I've watched hundreds of hours of videos and applied what I learned. My schedule revolves around dogs and cats. When not doing rover I work for a doggy daycare less hours than part time. I will do my best to keep my schedule up to date with it. As of right now I am called in as needed so I can request time off if a booking is made. My yard is fenced with a thick wall that is at least 6 feet high. I also have part of it lined in playpens to section off the dog part.

“Nicole went beyond our hopes! Nicole regularly sent pictures and updates. We could see how happy our guy was. When we came home be was relaxed and not at all stressed from us being away (as he had been after other sitters). Nicole followed all instructions to care for our guy was is a little high maintenance due to back trouble. Nicole discovered his favorite games and even gave him a nice brushing at the end of their time together. We were so pleased and would love to have Nicole come back!”


“Daria stayed in our place with our dog and cat for a week. Unfortunately, our cat became sick during our travel, and she promptly informed us about the situation. She took our cat to the vet, followed instructions about the treatment, and sent us timely updates. She is very caring and went above and beyond attending to our sick cat. Also, she left our house clean and in order. I highly recommend her.”


About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs for as long as I can remember. I began having pets of my own around 12 years ago. My love all of our animal companions, has grown expeditiously since then. My services include going on walks, feeding, playing, cuddling, bonding, cleaning up after, watering plants, taking out or bringing in recycling/trash, bringing in packages/mail, and over night stays. I work part time so my schedule is pretty open. I’m on call for my part time job, and I’m usually there only a few hours when I do go in My services include going on walks, feeding, cleaning up after, watering plants, taking out or bringing in recycling/trash, bringing in packages/mail, and over night stays. In the near future, my wife and I plan to open our own house for boarding.

“Nina was wonderful! Very good with our pets including a very young bottle fed kitten, a senior dog, and our sassy high energy bulldog. Highly recommend!!”


About: One of my first memories is of adopting a stray that we named Chiqule (Gum, in Spanish) because he decided to stick around. Ever since then I’ve picked up many of our four legged friends and made them family dogs. Many years since having my own pet, my love for our furry friends has yet to dwindle and I continue to pet-sit and house-sit just for the opportunity to hang in with a little fur ball. I have experience with a small senior dogs and dogs who have required medication, 3+ walks a day, or an extensive park visit. I’ve house-sat and makes sure to build my schedule around my four-legged, temporary bestie to ensure a stress-free time. I like to establish constant communication and updates with the pet-parent to make sure all is well. I regard play time highly but makes sure to only ruff-house and much as per-parent sees fit. Cuddles are optional but recommended. I my work hours are 8:30-5 but travel form Berkeley to Hayward so I can pop in within that 15 mile radius! My weekends are a lot more flexible. I make sure to follow a requested guideline and/or care checklist from pet-parents. I make sure to scope out the potential yard for any hazards and establish some trust with pets before going out on our first walk. If treats are allowed or provided, I will reward my furry friend when I see best on our initial walks to establish trust and respect. Play-time is important and can also be carried out as the pet-parent sees fit.

“Sarah is wonderful. She swooped in and saved me from a pet sitting situation gone wrong while I was out of state. Sarah cared for and loved on my fur babies as if they were her own and was respectful of my home. She is reliable and trustworthy, kind and caring, responsive and responsible. I will definitely be asking Sarah to pet/house sit again”


About: Hi, I’m Leticia – your local LGBTQ+ pet-loving sitter! 🐶🌈🐾 Animals have been my heart since I was a kid — I grew up surrounded by dogs, cats, and even a few chickens! As a proud queer woman and a devoted pet auntie, I know how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your furry family members like they’re your own. Whether your pup needs long walks, belly rubs, or just someone to chill with while you’re away, I bring patience, joy, and tons of love to every visit. I live in a neighborhood perfect for walks and have experience with pets of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. I’m also great with routines and medication if needed. Communication is super important to me, so expect lots of photo updates and check-ins — you won’t have to wonder how your fur baby is doing. Let’s connect — I’d love to meet you and your pet! 💖🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because caring for animals brings me joy and a sense of calm. I work a flexible schedule, which means I have plenty of time to dedicate to walks, playtime, feeding, and quality cuddle sessions. Whether it’s a morning walk to start the day or an evening drop-in to check on a pup, I plan my day around making sure pets feel loved, safe, and seen. It never feels like a chore—it’s something I truly look forward to. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, their safety and comfort come first. I create a calm, pet-friendly space with lots of love, soft spots to nap, and plenty of playtime. I follow your pet’s routine closely—feeding, walking, and meds—so they feel secure and at ease. I take time to build trust with each animal, always using gentle handling and positive reinforcement. Communication is key, so I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you always know your pet is happy and safe.
