About: I have been around dogs my entire life and have many years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I’ve cared for Maltese, Border Collies, Pit Bulls, German Shepherds, Boston Terriers, and many others, from energetic puppies to senior dogs up to 15 years old. I am comfortable with different routines and energy levels, and I love giving dogs plenty of walks, playtime, cuddles, and affection. I make sure every dog receives plenty of company, attention, and care throughout the day. Most importantly, I treat every dog as if they were part of my own family. 🐾❤️ Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I have plenty of time to give your dog the attention and care they need throughout the day. I’m available for walks, playtime, cudd Your dog’s safety and comfort are my priority. I always follow the owner’s instructions regarding feeding, walks, medication, routines, and any special needs. I understand that every dog has a different personality, so I give them the time and space they need to feel comfortable and safe. Whether your dog loves playing and attention or prefers a quiet place to

“Shelly was great and I came home to a very happy cat! My sitter plans fell through at the last minute, so I messaged Shelly asking if she could come over for a meet and greet the same night so she could start visiting my cat beginning the following day. I was mainly concerned with my cat getting enough human interaction while I was away. Shelly responded right away and was very prompt for our meeting. She was friendly and my cat felt comfortable w her right away. Shelly visited my cat for the 4 days I was away and I came home to a very happy and content cat. I'll be booking with her again:)”

“Madeline was absolutely amazing with our kitties. This was our first time leaving them home and using Rover and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Madeline was prompt at communicating and solving any issues or mischief and sending us (great!) pics of her time with the cats. Our cats got all the love and cuddles we asked for. Even our youngest, who’s very shy and skeptical of new people, came out and gave Madeline head bumps on the first day!”

About: I’ve always had animals around me, they have been a large part of my life since childhood. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and breeds, cats (both furry and hairless) of all ages, and the occasional lizard. I also have some experience working in a vet. I also have experience administering medicine to animals, bottle feeding kittens, taking notes/tracking behaviors or symptoms. I’d love to help care for your pet! I ok work full time (8-5) with a hybrid schedule. During my remote days I can check on your pet as often as is needed. I try to keep your pets routine as stable as possible whether it is at your home or mine. I have a fenced yard at my house

“Shirley is great! Our cat liked her immediately. She was easy to work with and accommodated multiple last-minute changes due to unforeseen circumstances. I highly recommend her.”

“Rich was a great find for us, he opened up his calendar for our last minute need to watch two kitties, also fed our fish and gave us adorable updates with every visit. Very friendly, easy to get along with and instantly gives you comfortable to leave my treasured pets with kind of feel. Highly recommend!”

“Chloe was incredible! From the moment we met Chloe in the meet and greet we could tell she had the right energy to take good care of our beloved cat. We had to find a sitter last minute to travel for a family emergency and Chloe stepped in and was so communicative, sweet with our sometimes nervous cat, and was so respectful of our home; it put us at peace for the entire trip away.”

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.

“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 …”

“Everything appeared to be taken care of to my specifications and my cats were happy and healthy when I got home! Matthew was also very communicative and friendly throughout my time being gone. Will book with him again!”

About: Ciao! My name is Matt and I'm very excited to have the opportunity to meet you and some of the amazing pets we have here in the city. I currently live near the rose garden/Piedmont. I live close to several other parks, and I always enjoy meeting new pet friends that come my way. I really don't have many restrictions, but all I ask is that if you are interested in meeting to discuss my services that we have great communication (whether it's email, call/text, etc.) I work from home during the week and actively get outside myself, so I'm sure we could work something out if you need help with your pet! Comfort and exercise go hand-in-hand in my experience. Play time and treats are always possible. Companionship is a must and routine is our next best friend.

About: Hi! My name is Phi and I am an animal lover through and through. Growing up my family always has had dogs, including three Havaneses, two Labrador Retrievers, and one Westie/Yorkie mix. I have a background in dogsitting two Maltese puppies that I took care of for six years total, which provided me with experience on administering oral medication. My experience also includes freelance dog walking and sitting with Wag!. One way that I stand out is that I have also volunteered at my local animal shelter and raised awareness for their adoptable dogs. Other than dogs, currently I own three cats ranging in ages 2 through 5, which has given me a soft spot for both cats and dogs alike. I am so excited for the opportunity to meet your pet through Rover and have a fantastic time with them! I currently work a full-time day shift job, which leaves me with time in the mornings, evenings, and weekends to care for your beloved family member. Daily exercise is important to me, which is always made more fun with a furry friend tagging along! I love adventurous walks, trips to the dog park, and cuddles during rest and recovery. Animals are an important and necessary presence in my life, I am committed to make interacting with them a more common occurrence in my schedule. My approach to pet care is founded in the understanding that I have a relationship to build with each animal that I take in or am trusted to care for. These relationships must be founded in trust, love, and understanding for one another. This means that I work to provide comfort and support during things like medication administration, a shoulder to rest a furry head on and cuddle up to, a string toy or ball to encourage playfulness and exercise, and so much more. I treat each animal I care for as if they are my own, ensuring their happiness and wellbeing comes first.

“Sarah’s amazing! My dog Jack was immediately obsessed with her (he likes everyone but LOVED Sarah). Sarah’s extremely easy to work with, super kind, communicative and knows animals extremely well. Jack has animal reactivity and she was extremely well-versed in this and equipped on how to handle that. Separately, she even deep cleans!!! I don’t know a better combo than someone who’s a dog whisperer and enjoys deep cleaning, but I’m really grateful to have met Sarah”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for the past 3 years and absolutely love spending time with them. A family member owns a farm, and when their dog had puppies, I helped care for the litter and learned how important patience, love, and attention are. I treat every dog like my own and always make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. As a college student, I have free gaps between classes that allow me to provide reliable pet care, walks, playtime, and attention throughout the day. I follow each pet’s routine carefully, provide food and water, give plenty of attention, ensure safety, and keep their environment clean and comfortable for the pets and owners.

“Nicole is awesome! She seems to really care about Bella and came through for me at the last minute when I had to stay later than expected at work. Super positive and seems to really love animals. ?”

About: For the last four years I’ve lived in a home with two Rhodesian Ridgebacks. One was a senior at 13 years old and the other is three. I’ve learned how to adapt to their different needs based on age and personality while setting boundaries and aligning to my Housemate’s desires for their care. (Which has helped me get to know new dogs pretty quickly.) We walk, play and cuddle. When needed I administer medication, feed them, and sometimes cook for them. I look forward to chatting with you about your family’s needs. When house sitting I do not schedule any other families for walks or drop-ins. The care I provide is all inclusive so that your baby gets all of my love and care. If I am not house sitting, I’m available everyday after 11am for walks and drop-ins within a 1 mile radius of lower Rockridge or easily reachable by public transportation. To ensure safety and comfort, I won’t be walking any other dogs outside of your household. I am available to spend time with your pet(s) in their home where they will be the most comfortable. I’ll come to you for walks.
