Pet Sitting & Drop Ins In Southgate

“We have used Elena twice now, each time for 10 days drop-ins to primarily feed our dogs. She communicates well and very reliable. I feel at ease when we were away that our fur babies have been fed. Highly recommend Elena!”

Mabel G.

“Our regular sitter of two years moved just far enough away that coming twice a day for a week wasn't possible, so it was a little nerve-racking to choose a new sitter when we were going to be on the other side of the country. Picking Gagandeep was a good decision. He put us at ease immediately when leaving them, which was especially important when I developed an unexpected and serious medical condition. If I had spent time worrying about them cross-country, I don’t think it would have turned out as well as it did. I’ll definitely book with him again.”

“Angela did an excellent job taking care of my two cats, one of them requiring two pills per day for his GI lymphoma. She even took care of a perishable delivery which came for me while I was gone. I recommend Angela highly.”

John W.

“Tisha was superb! She was scheduled drop-in services twice a day, primarily to feed our fur babies. We appreciate her great communication and daily pics requested. During our meet and greet, she asked if there was anything else she could. She went above our expectations. We highly recommend Tisha and will definitely use her again.”

Mabel G.

“Dani was amazing with our cats. She sent daily updates with details and many pictures which we found really helpful. We absolutely would work with Dani again for our future trips.”

“This was my first time with Shiji and he was absolutely amazing, following each and every instruction and checking in with me when my cats refused to eat, went above and beyond to take care of other things kike checking litter, changing water and even playing! I trust them with my cats and my cars trust them as well”

Anagha P.

“Supriya did fantastic. We have total peace in mind knowing she was there and everything was well taken care of.

We will definitely be in contact again for future trips!!!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of medium size to small since I was 9. Family friends, family. I do bath and walk my dogs daily. I’m not working any job at the moment so I am free daily or weekly. However some weekends I’m not free do to family visits. I have a fenced yard where they can run around and play or use the bathroom the German shepherd passed away so the only dog around is the Yorker he’s friendly and likes to play but he mostly likes to just be on his own.

About: I use to work at a pet hotel, and loved ensuring that the pets got what they deserved, care and attention. Not every pets the same, I helped shy ones get a bit more comfortable in the chaos that is playing with other dogs. I’ve provided necessary meds and ensured pet environments stayed cleanly. If I’m not willing to play around it it’s not done. Have great experience with dogs and cats. I’m open mostly to Monday through Friday: 8am to 6PM. Can be flexible later as one offs, nights are extra. Unfortunately not offering weekends at this time. Providing companionship to your furbabys while you’re out. Giving them lots of cuddles, attention, feeding, and definitely a few walks depending on dog breed and mobility. Meds need to be discussed.

“Rawnna is awesome! She took care of our three cats for two weeks, and they seem so happy and well-taken care of! She was totally understanding of my anxiety about having a new person in my house, and sent the best photos of them playing every day. She did a great job and I would definitely hire her again.”

About: Hi, my name is Mecca, and I’ve been around dogs my entire life, with over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for and working with them at my fathers boarding and training facility. I grew up helping train dogs and have also worked in professional dog facilities, so I’m comfortable with pups of all sizes, breeds, and energy levels. Whether your dog is super playful or more shy and relaxed, I know how to make them feel happy, loved, and most importantly, safe while you’re away. I’m located in the Hayward area, conveniently near both airports, which makes drop-offs and pick-ups easy for traveling pet parents. I also live close to a community dog park with a big grassy area where dogs can run, play, and get their zoomies out safely. My home is very dog-friendly, with a spacious backyard covered in artificial turf so your pup won’t come home with muddy paws. There’s always fresh water available and plenty of shaded areas to keep dogs cool and comfortable, especially on warmer days. I keep a clean, calm, and supervised environment so every dog feels right at home. Your dog will get lots of playtime, affection, and personalized care while they’re with me. I treat every dog like my own and will happily send updates, photos, and messages so you always know your pet is in great hands when booking with me! I look forward to meeting you and your pup!

About: 30 + years caring and training exotic and domestic animals in a professional setting. I am recently retired so I have flexibility in my day to visit your pets and take them for walks while you are busy at work. I understand the pressure of work life and trying to care for your pet. I will always have safety front of mind and never allow other dogs to interact with your dog unless they are showing good behavior. I can take care of cats, dogs , birds or other exotics. I will treat your pets as my own and give you the peace of mind of knowing your pets are well cared for. I am mostly available in the mornings and early afternoons but will work with each client depending on their needs. I do require a meet and greet before accepting new clients so please contact me to set that up so I can meet you and your pet. I am experienced in animal health care and can respond to any emergency that may come up while I am responsible for your pet. I will take photos when we are out and about and send them to you so you know I was with your pet.

About: Hi there! I’m Cameron. I’m a university lecturer currently on summer break, which means my schedule is wide open and I’m looking to spend that extra time offering dog walking and drop-in visits around the area. You can book my services for any day of the week between 11am and 10pm. I accept bookings at least 3 days in advance and ask that you notify me about cancelling at least 1 day before. I’ve been a dog person my entire life and have experience with everything from 100lb Rottweilers and Akitas to tiny Chihuahuas. Because I’m a Stanford PhD, I tend to be very detail-oriented when it comes to following care instructions, but my actual "vibe" is very low-key and disarming. I know some pups can be a little nervous around men, so I specialize in a patient, "slow-introduction" approach to make sure they feel totally relaxed and safe with me. Since I’m on break, I’m available throughout the day, evenings, and weekends. I have my own car and can easily come to you for: Senior Care & Enrichment: I’ve spent the last decade caring for my own 12-year-old rescue Golden Retriever mix, so I’m very comfortable with senior needs. Medical Support: I am experienced in administering oral medications and keeping a close eye on health or mobility shifts. Active Adventures: Whether it’s a high-energy game of tug, a "sniff-oriented" stroll, or a focused walk to get the zoomies out, I’m happy to match your dog's pace. Reliable Check-ins: I pride myself on being punctual with meals, fresh water, and bathroom breaks. I’m new to Rover but definitely not new to dogs. I’ve spent years pet-sitting for friends and family, and I’m excited to meet some new four-legged neighbors. I’ll always send plenty of photo updates so you can see exactly how much fun (or how much relaxing) your pup is having! As a teacher on summer break, my schedule is very open and flexible. I have full availability throughout the day, evenings, and weekends between 11am and 10pm, allowing me to provide consistent care and companionship when your dog needs it most. I live in Union City and have my own reliable transportation, so I can easily travel to your home anywhere in the area. Because I am not tied to a typical 9-to-5 office routine, I can offer your pet more than just a quick check-in—I am available for extended walks, midday play sessions, or simply staying present to keep a senior dog or anxious pup company (~30 minutes, if needed). Whether you need a regular weekday routine or last-minute weekend help, I can easily integrate your pet’s needs into my day. Safety and reliability are my top priorities. As a longtime rescue owner and university professional, I treat every pet with the same vigilance and care I give my own. In Your Home & On Walks: I am a respectful guest and a focused handler. I provide my own reliable transportation and come prepared with spare leashes and waste bags. During walks, I am hyper-aware of surroundings to ensure a safe, stress-free experience. In My Home: My environment is fully pet-proofed and secure, featuring a fenced-in yard with no environmental risks. Because of my flexible summer schedule, your dog will enjoy constant supervision and a calm, climate-controlled space to relax. Trust & Communication: I strictly follow all care instructions—from meal timings to medication—and provide regular photo updates so you always have peace of mind.
