House Sitting in Tennyson-Alquire, Hayward, CA

“Jenny is a fantastic sitter! She took excellent care of my dog, Akira. Akira is usually shy and takes time to warm up to new people, but she was immediately comfortable with Jenny. I will definitely be booking her again!”

“Booking Saana to stay with my dog while away was a really great decision. She was amazing with my dog, took wonderful care of the home, and was in contact the perfect amount! Will be booking with her again :)”

“Our puppy is a handful so we have a lot that we asked Victoria to pay attention to - she always took our instructions to heart and I really appreciated that! Our pup had a great time”

“Suky was fantastic. Great communicator, knowable, responsible, flexible. Our GSD Sansa was recently diagnosed w/ Cushing's Disease and needed medicine and some extra attention. Suky took everything in stride and got along famously w/ Sansa. We would book Suky again in a heartbeat. Thanks Suky!”

“Erica took great care of my babies and sent me pictures which I really appreciated. I could see that they were happy in her care. I returned to my house just as I left it.”

“Jerry was amazing with my feline beasts. She has excellent communication, provided me with videos and pics with each visit along with a brief summary of the visit. I am so happy to have found someone who cares for my felines as if they were her own. My cats required medicine and are not the cuddly pair. But Jerri was able to build a connection. I'm so appreciative of how well she took care of my animals and hm.”

“Christopher loves animals and cares deeply about their well-being. He is wonderful at understanding a dog's needs down to which bush they might want to smell for longer or what pace of walking is feeling good to them today. He is very conscious of safety for the dogs and aware of his environment. As an ace poop-bagger and my dog's favorite walker, I have no hesitation in recommending Christopher.”

“I cannot recommend Ian highly enough when it comes to pet care. For many years, he has lovingly and responsibly cared for our family pets—both dogs and cats—with an attentiveness that goes far beyond basic needs. Whether it’s sticking to feeding schedules, ensuring daily walks and playtime, or noticing the little changes in behavior that signal when something isn’t quite right, he has consistently demonstrated maturity, reliability, and a genuine love for animals.”

“Marney was very detailed and caring for Timon. She not only messaged and sent pictures throughout the day, but also left detailed notes and a cute report card on how the day went. She handled Timon well on their walk, even when he started acting up and biting the leash, clothes, and even her arm :( She also handled another dog who sprinted up to them and kept the two separated. Marney is very reliable and your dog will be in good hands!”

“Phenomenal pet sitter! I have a small menagerie (two cats, a dog, and a turtle), so I’m always a bit apprehensive when leaving for an extended trip. But Addison made it a smooth process, I’ll definitely use her services again in the future!”

“Mi perrita Missy estuvo muy bien cuidada y consentida por Andres y su hija. Se ve que el Sr Andres tiene experiencia en el cuidado de mascotas. No dudaría en volver a dejar a Missy con ellas. Gracias por cuidarla tan bien, como yo lo haría”

“I’ve known Marin for almost ten years and one of the very first things I’ve noticed about her was her love for all animals, big or small. She rescued a Frenchie “Dio” a few years ago that was hellbent on wreaking havoc across all of the Bay Area. She still has Dio and he is the sweetest boy now thanks to Marin’s patience, care, training, and natural ability to assess animals’ needs. She takes care of him like a son and not in a sense that she takes care of basic needs, I’m talking spending thousands of dollars to get Dio the best emergency medical care possible. I’ve also had the pleasure of seeing Marin interact with and watch multiple animals at a time and she makes sure they are getting along, that they’re all exercised, and properly fed. I would trust Marin with my life, so I would absolutely trust her with my pets.”

“Fortunately for my cats and I, Justin was available to house sit due to an unexpected cancellation. It was a distressing time for me, but I felt reassured when Jistin arrived at the home and tended to the cats needs right away. I am grateful for Justin's prompt reply to my inquiries and professionalism.”

“We can't thank Clayton enough for taking care of our new golden retriever puppy, Cooper, and our 15 year old and very vocal diabetic cat, Kiwi, who needs insulin injections twice a day. We appreciated and looked forward to the good morning and the evening pictures Clayton sent us. Knowing Cooper and Kiwi were being so well cared for allowed us to relax and focus on a family trip out of state. We came home to a clean house, clean bedding, a wonderful thank-you note, and a fantastic batch of brownies. We would recommend Clayton in a heartbeat!”

“Francis was a fantastic sitter, providing high-attention care of both our pets and our house while we were away. He took careful notes, tracked medications, proved highly flexible with unexpected changes, and even managed to make quick friends with our elusive cats. Francis is the first sitter to interview us during the meet-and-greet, rather than the other way around. From the moment we met, we knew that Francis was a different kind of sitter. Francis is a caretaker. We strongly recommend Francis for your pet and house sitting needs.”

About: I have taken care of my family's cat for the past five years. In the past two years, I have frequently cared for friends' and family's dogs and cats when they are out of town - taking on the responsibilities of walking, feeding, and bathing. I am also a volunteer at Chicago Animal Care and Control so I have experience working with a variety of dog personalities. I’m spending the summer in the Bay Area before I start graduate school in Chicago in the fall. My schedule is completely flexible this summer. Unfortunately I cannot host any pets in my family home due to family members’ allergies but I have a a car and can come to you. When caring for others' pets I am cognizant to always keep my eye on them, whether inside or outside, and listen to their needs. I am also great at following directions and will follow any instructions you provide - after all, you know your pet the best :)

“Cashja was great with our two dogs, even though one of them is a blind senior and has lots of needs. We'll definitely ask her for her help again next time we're out of town.”

“Estelle took care of our one dog and two cats while staying at our house over the holiday weekend. We came home to 3 happy animals and a clean house. Estelle sent pics every day to make sure we knew our kiddos were doing well. We will definitely use Estelle again.”

About: I grew up with a cat and a dog and as an adult seemed to inherit other people’s pets when they couldn’t care for them anymore. I started dog walking for friends when I couldn’t have a dog of my own and really need a “dog fix” because I was missing my puppy. I have been pet sitting ever since. There is nothing like spending time loving on animals! It brings me great joy! I also feel wonderful giving families a sense of relief when they know their pets are safe and being treated with love and good care so they don’t have to worry❤️ I love meeting my new fur friends (people friends too💕) If you would like $20 off your first visit use this code: DANACM82228, https://www.rover.com/sit/danacm82228 I work Mon, Tues, Thurs & Fri til 2 or 3 pm as a Personal Trainer at a specialized studio where I have some flexibility. I also teach yoga, stretching, strength training and line dancing at places that are very dog friendly and can bring them along. Many of my dog friends lay on a yoga mat during class and the students just love it, dogs that run around while we line dance. So much fun! My schedule is very flexible so I adapt as needed when I schedule pet sitting to the needs of my clients. I have a fenced in yard with lots of doggies toys. I live right next to a park that is dog friendly and has walking and hiking trails. My home is set up to accommodate any size pet. I have a mini van and love taking my pet friends along with me if their families approve👍

About: I've watched over foster kittens and previous roommates' dog on and off for about a year. Unfortunately, I keep busy and don't have the time to properly care full-time for a pet, but I don't miss any opportunity to play with them! I'm more than willing to work with your schedule if you'd like to set up reoccurring appointments outside of my listed time frame. Just ask! :) Pets are like children and it's up to you to determine how you'd like others to care for them. I'm certainly all ears and respect your wishes.
