Pet Sitting Temescal

About: I've been around dogs my whole life and rescued my own fur baby 5 years ago. I watch dogs for friends and family all the time and genuinely love having them around. I love that every dog has their own personality, and I'm happy to meet them where they're at, whether they're playful and outgoing or a little shy and need some space. I'm no replacement for their favorite human, but I hope to give them a friendly, warm, low-stress environment where they can feel comfortable and cared for while you're away. 🐾 I'm currently working part time so I have a very flexible schedule. I'm available most week days all day, Saturdays all day and Sunday evenings. I have a car so can easily drop in for a visit or walk and pick up/drop off your pet. I live in a condo with my partner and a little Pomeranian named Romeo. I don't have a yard but live in a super walkable neighborhood with some parks nearby. I love staying active and driving to a trail/park from time to time to take a little hike.

“I never left My Chutney with anyone else but he loved Patrice! Chutney had accidents every day and she didn’t complain I would recommend Patrice highly and will be hiring her for all my future trips …”

“Elin was great for drop in visits with our cat and small conure. We got photos each day and even found a new cat toy that she brought and Colby loves to snuggle with now!”

About: Hi everyone! For over 15 years, I've had the privilege of caring for a diverse range of animals, from dogs and cats to birds, reptiles, and even farm animals like horses and chickens. As a dedicated animal lover, I've honed my skills in providing compassionate and attentive care to pets of all ages and temperaments. In the past 8 years, I've consistently provided reliable house and pet sitting services for families, friends, and neighbors. My experience includes caring for senior dogs requiring medications and specialized diets, as well as highly active dogs that need daily walks up to 6 miles. As a cat mom to two Sphynx cats, I'm well-versed in the specific care needs of feline companions, including grooming, nail trims, and ear cleanings. I am also open to care for other animals and reptiles! I'm eager to connect with you and learn more about your beloved pets! I currently make my own schedule, so I have a very flexible schedule for caring for your furry companions, playing or dog walking! I am open most weekends/holidays I just prefer to have a weeks notice. My background as a Registered Nurse has instilled in me with a strong emphasis on communication, trust, and providing the highest quality care. I'm detail-oriented, organized, and passionate about creating a safe and loving environment for your pets while you're away. When at a client's home I will always keep an eye on pets when they are in fenced yards. If the yard is unfenced, the pet will be on a leash outside and for walks. I also love to take pictures and will always send you updates! Unfortunately, I cannot hosts pets in my own home at the moment.

About: Erik and I love animals in general but we absolutely love our Dogs and cats! We consistently care for my family Dog named Mookie! Who spends her full time with my Dads family but we care for her as well. We love taking her on adventurous walks,frequent potty breaks whilst sticking to her feeding schedule, and supplement / medication routines. She also loves to join us for car rides as well! Weekly scheduling is possible! We’d love to have consistent clients and build dependable wholesome connections. As our schedule opens up, we will update our availability as well! Whether in our own space or in a clients home we ensure that the pets are getting their needs met by sticking to their routines, offering them comfort through snuggles and play! Or giving them space if they are shy or like to be in their own areas but we continue to keep and eye on them. As far as walks, we ensure that they stay safe on the roads, pay attention to how they are around other animals and also allowing them to take their time.

About: Howdy! My name's Rachel, I'm new to the area. I am a lover of all animals, but especially dogs. I grew up with a lovable and energetic Akita, so I have a big love for larger dogs. I currently live with my cat, Henri, who I found in an alley in Chicago a few years ago. I formerly worked for a local dog boarding and daycare spot. I'm a pretty active person, I like hiking and running and being outside, all activities that could be even more fun with a four legged companion. I'm happy to answer any questions you have, and am looking forward to meeting! I am very available for weekends to walk, visit, or care for pets! I work during the week but possibly could make time in the evenings At my home, I do have a cat who is friendly. I have a babygate that I set up or lock the cat in my room when dogs are visiting. I am open to making house visits also! I believe pets who are already stressed out when their person is away for extended periods should feel comfortable and be in their own place.

“Lovely experience with Laura, have had her sit for Loki many times now, and it’s always good to know he’s well cared for when I’m away. Good communication always, which is so appreciated.”

About: I’ve built a loyal client base since 2022 primarily through word of mouth and have many excellent references. I have experience caring for dogs with a wide range of personalities, needs, and routines, and I consider myself well-prepared to handle a variety of situations. I’m highly communicative, proactive, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. I always strive to go the extra mile for my clients, making sure both pets and their people feel heard, respected, and confident in their care. This work brings me a great deal of joy, and I genuinely love getting to know and care for each animal. I work remotely, which gives me the flexibility to provide pet care throughout the week and travel across the Bay Area for in-home sits. Pets are also welcome to stay with me at my Emeryville loft. I have an 8-year-old Chihuahua-Terrier mix who is friendly with most animals and mostly keeps to himself. I prioritize regular walks, play, enrichment, and plenty of affection throughout the day. When caring for dogs in their home, I aim for 2–3 walks daily on safe, familiar routes; there is also a dog park directly across from my loft if that’s a good fit for the dog. I follow each client’s care instructions closely, communicate proactively if questions come up, and keep clients updated with photos and messages so they can feel confident their pets are happy and well cared for.

“If we could leave more than 5 stars we would. Alyssa gave good vibes dome the jump. Once the visits started we got follow-up questions, plenty of photos, and updates, Alyssa was a phenomenal sitter with great communication. We could tell the kitties were in such great hands, because they didn't even run up to the door for cuddles when we got home. That has never happened. We appreciated the care Alyssa took to sweep up the litter too because no other rover sitter we've had has done that.”

“Another great visit with Christine. Always makes sure my kitties are taken care of with keeping litter boxes clean, fresh food and water, playing, and pets! This time we discovered the magic of cat tv for some additional entertainment! Thanks Christine!”

“Cassandra went beyond expectations and really took care of my little ones. She on time and asked me if there was anything else she could do to help. She was able to wipe down my Persians water eyes (despite his tantrums) and asked questions to clarify the cats needs. I would definitely rebooks and recommend!”

About: I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, temperaments, and energy levels, including feeding, walking, playtime, administering basic medications, and providing lots of attention and companionship. I’m very attentive to pets’ routines and comfort levels, and I always aim to make them feel safe, relaxed, and cared for while their owners are away. I also understand the importance of clear communication and sending regular updates and photos. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to spend quality time with pets throughout the day. I currently work full time with a work from home schedule 3 days a week, which gives me availability for walks, drop-ins, boarding, and extended care. I’m able to provide plenty of supervision, attention, exercise, and companionship to make sure pets are happy and comfortable in my care. I work from home 3 days a week (M W F). And I'm home most weekends. My job is flexible so as long as I don't have meetings I can take breaks throughout the day as needed for pets. I've taken my friend's dogs on walks during my work hours and given attention to pets during their stay, treats and cuddles :) I have an open space layout so I will be able to be close to the pet and see what they're doing while I'm home.

“Jes was amazing with our two cats. They both warmed up to Jes very quickly. They were both well fed and cared for while we were away. Thank you Jes!”

“Christina was awesome! On time and quick response. Would definitely book her again in the future.”

“Thank you so much for taking such great care of my fur baby! I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing he was in get care. I loved getting pictures and a report while away. Thank you, Shirley!!!”

“Maria did a fantastic job and our cats agree. She was communicative and we had not a single problem to speak of.”

“Chen has been an incredible caretaker for our cats when we are away. He sends frequent updates so we know our cats are doing well. Our cats have grown fond of him and trust him. It’s nice to know we have a pet sitter who they are comfortable with and look forward to seeing. I can tell they genuinely miss Chen’s drop ins now that we are back. Every morning around the time scheduled for our drop ins they start meowing at me. They have gotten used to him coming to visit. Chen will be your cat’s best friend when you are away!”

About: I love animals and would be thrilled to help you take care of your cat or dog(s)! I currently have three cats myself and they are often times the best part of my day. I have been taking care of friend’s pets while they are away for many years, and have thoroughly enjoyed the house sits and weekly dog walks I’ve booked with repeat customers through Rover in the last year. I would love to get to know your pet(s) as well! I’m moving to the Bay Area in a few months for work and it would be lovely to pet sit for you while I look for a place. My availability is up to date and I will only need to be in the office 3 days/week. Please note that if we complete a house sitting service after a meet and greet, I will add the meet and greet as a standard drop in visit. I look forward to connecting! I currently work part time, so I have plenty of time to play with, feed, and walk your pet(s)! I just need a bit of heads up so I can put your request on my calendar and work around other walks and visits I am providing. At home, feeding my cats and giving them lots of love and play time is part of my daily routine. I am always happy to do a meet and greet ahead of a booking. Please note that if we proceed with the booking, I will add the cost of a meet and greet as a 30 min drop in visit to the total. I recognize the importance of being present and vigilant with pets - to keep them both safe and comfortable - especially when they are with new people or in new environments. I always make sure I know everything I need to know about a pets unique situation and personality before taking on the responsibility of caring for them, and will do the utmost to keep your animals(s) happy, safe, and healthy. Importantly, I also want them to have fun with me!

About: I’m a cat mom and lifelong pet sitter who treats every cat and dog like my own! I live in Rockridge, working remotely, so my schedule is flexible. I know how it feels to leave your pets behind when you go on vacation, and my job as a sitter is to make sure you’ll get regular updates, cute photos, and peace of mind knowing your pet is in caring hands ❤️ I work in tech and have a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to stop by for drop-ins or overnight sitting. I’m usually available early mornings, evenings, and weekends, and can adjust based on your pets feeding or medication routine. I love pets because every one of them is so different! I take the time to learn your pets preferences, how they like to be greeted, their energy level, and what feels safe to them.

“Alienna is fantastic! She feeds my cats three days a week and is incredibly consistent and dependable. She’s always on time, sends photos every visit, and does exactly what I ask. She’s also very flexible and genuinely caring with my pets. I feel completely at ease knowing she’s taking care of them. I couldn’t ask for a better Rover sitter!”
