About: I’ve cared for dogs since I was 10, including six Chihuahuas, a Pit Bull, and now a Border Collie and Australian Shepherd. I’m experienced with different personalities, energy levels, and needs, and I understand the importance of patience, consistency, exercise, and affection. What sets me apart is my lifelong hands on experience and genuine love for animals, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I currently work part-time while completing my RBT certification, which gives me a flexible schedule and availability to take on pet-sitting opportunities. I’m looking to fill some of my extra hours by providing dependable, attentive care for pets. I’m available for overnight stays and can work with each pet’s individual routine and needs. I’m responsible, reliable, and committed to making sure your pets receive plenty of attention, care, and companionship while you’re away. I follow each pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention. I provide patient, loving care while keeping their environment clean, safe, and comfortable. I’m happy to follow any specific instructions or routines your pet is used to.
About: May not have any dog sitter experiences. But I have been the main parent and love giver for my PopZ for 11 years. I see that as a crucial deciding factor in determining how affectionate I am with dogs. PopZ has learned several tricks from us like roll over, right, left paw, pray, turn around, whisper (soft bark) and more. I love him a lot and I feel that all dog lovers do as well. So if I’m your dog sitter and/walker, you will get the best from me. *second best”. PopZ gets the best. lol. JK, all dogs are precious. Decided to take a break from working and spend more time with family and my cutie pie PopZ, our love pet since he was 2 months old. I just love dogs and thought, why not do dog sitting to have the opportunity to see other dogs that will brighten my day 🙂. I can dog sit, walk them any day if you give me 3 days notice. For dog sitting, I will ensure they have food, fresh water when needed. They will have petting and playtime 🙂. And will go for walks if that’s what’s part of the routine.
“Kayla was for a week our in-home cat sitter and she was pure magic. She is the cat-sitter equivalent of Mary Poppins—truly beyond compare. As anxious pet parents of needy cats , we were looking for someone who could handle specific routines and provide constant, loving care. Kayla exceeded every expectation. • Exceptional Cat Care: She treated our cats like her very own, building a wonderful relationship with them and ensuring they were happy and stress-free. She followed all of our detailed instructions perfectly, managing our cats' needs. • Above and Beyond: Kayla didn't just meet our expectations; she went above and beyond. Not only did she care for the cats, but she also took immaculate care of our home, leaving it as neat and tidy as when we left. • Peace of Mind: She was a pro at managing our pet-parent anxiety, providing timely updates and clearly demonstrating her dedication. We can't recommend Kayla enough. If you are looking for a trustworthy and absolutely amazing sitter who will treat your pets and your home with the utmost respect, look no further. We will absolutely be booking her again!”
“Katrina had a wonderful bond with Roxie. Roxie looked fabulous when we got home. She took such great care of Roxie and sent me pictures along with updates on how Roxie was doing while I was away. Since Katrina stayed at the house she also kept the house in pristine condition. I would definitely use Katrina again as she’s a great sitter and very trustworthy.”

“I am happy Kenya was able to be with my pups. We have had Kenya sit for a few over nights and each time she has been very communicative, sends picture updates and is on time. We will definitely ask her to stay with our home and pups again!”

About: I have always been around dogs and am comfortable helping dogs of any age, size, and need. Working as a veterinary assistant and earning a degree in animal science has helped me build a strong connection to caring for dogs. I am very comfortable with pets that need an extra level of medical care. I work full time 4 days a week and have a bit of a long commute (I will likely be out of the house 6:00 AM - 7:30 PM Mondays - Wednesdays and Fridays for work). My weekends tend to be more free, though most days I can provide care in the evenings or very early mornings. I am happy to stay in pets’ homes to provide overnight care and housesitting. I can easily get into the pets’ routines and provide other house care as needed.

About: Hey! I am an avid dog lover with over 17 years of experience caring for dogs. I am great with animals, and dogs love staying with me. I provide a fun and nurturing environment to ensure your dog is comfortable while you are away. I have 8 years of experience volunteering at Animal shelters, and have been trained to deal with all different types of dogs. My own dog recently passed away, so I am devoting all my energy and care to caring for your furry friend. Rest easy knowing your dog will be in great hands and have an amazing time while you are away. Feel free to contact me with any questions you may have. I am currently self employed from home, so your pet will have my full attention and care. Our community is dog friendly with many walking paths and dog bags. My home is open and spacious for any pet, and I will make sure to clear the area prior to their arrival. We also have dog gates and beds here in case your pal needs them.
About: I have a deep love for animals, and my own dog is like my son. His name is Potato. He’s incredibly loved, well cared for, and definitely spoiled with affection! Because of that, I understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your pet. When your pet is with me, I’ll treat them as if they were my own family. They’ll receive plenty of love, attention, playtime, and care in a safe, comfortable environment. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, cuddles on the couch, or simply having someone nearby, I’ll make sure they feel happy, secure, and loved while you’re away. I know every pet has a unique personality and routine, so I’m happy to follow your instructions to keep them comfortable. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your furry family member is being cared for with the same love and dedication I give my own dog. I am available Monday through Friday except during this time 2:30 to 6:00 PM. If you need care for a longer period, I’m happy to discuss accommodations. I am also available all day on Saturdays and Sundays. I take care of my dog by making homemade meals every day using healthy ingredients, give him healthy treats, and always make sure he has fresh water. We go on daily walks, play together, and he gets plenty of cuddles and attention throughout the day. I will treat your pet/family the same 🙂 I love taking Potato on adventures, and he’s traveled with me to more than six states. I make sure he’s always safe, comfortable, and included wherever we go.
“Tatyana did a phenomenal job— literally above and beyond! She was so kind and patient with my Doberman and kitty. We were so glad she got along so well with our pets and gave them the best time while my husband and I were away. Highly recommend and would love to book Tatyana again the next time we’re out of town.”


About: I’ve cared for pets of different ages and personalities, from energetic puppies to senior dogs. I’ve completed 503 hours of professional dog behavior and training education, as well as the AVBM Asia Veterinary Behavioral Medicine Master Courses in both 2024 and 2025. I’ve also completed basic and advanced senior pet care courses. This education has strengthened my understanding of canine behavior, body language, communication, and the needs of dogs at different ages and life stages. I use this knowledge to provide thoughtful, attentive, and personalized care for every pet. I’m currently changing my career path, which gives me plenty of time to care for pets. I’m available on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays after 3pm, and on all other days after 11am for walks, drop-ins, sitting, and boarding. For other times or special services, I’m happy to discuss and accommodate when possible. I’m passionate about animals and genuinely enjoy caring for them. I’m patient, attentive, caring, and dependable, and my goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, happy, and loved while in my care. Safety, reliability, and communication are very important to me. I follow your instructions carefully, respect your home, and keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel at ease knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. For pets staying in my home, I provide a clean, calm, comfortable, and loving environment with plenty of individual attention. My community has plenty of grassy areas for walks and outdoor time, and I do my best to maintain each pet’s usual routine so they can feel at home.

“London is responsive, responsible, and so sweet with our boys! She sent pics without having to ask, and our dogs love her. She arrived on time and went out of her way to help out by moving my car for me, which she totally didn’t have to do. It was so nice being able to actually relax and enjoy my trip without worrying about what was happening at my house, and we will definitely be reaching out to London when we go out of town again!”


About: I have a huge passion for animals and always have since I was little. I love dogs, cats, reptiles, birds, anything you name it! Being around animals brings me so much joy. I’ve taken care of close friends, or family pets in the past. I’m extremely detail-oriented and very attentive when it comes to taking care of animals. I have always been sure to fulfill the needs of animals under my care. I am a fast learner as well, so if there is ever a new skill I need to learn based off an animal in my care, I’m quick to pick up on it! I’m currently working part-time, and I am a student as well! I only work during the evenings and my classes are only on Mondays and Wednesdays at Las Positas, so I’m generally free any other time! My work schedule is pretty flexible as well and I love to make time for pet care/ animal quality time! I live in a very safe and friendly community, which provides other community dogs and dog parks as well. Lots of grassy area to play and nice scenery to take animals on walks. I am very open to following directions with client in home care, as well as adapting to the environment or adding anything to provide care so pets are comfortable as well as their owners!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Ulmar
Sarah watched our two dogs and three cats for about a week and a half. We loved her calm presence at our meet and greet, and she asked all the right questions and took time to warm up to our shyer cats. However, the stay itself wasn't quite what we expected. Sarah got sick the Saturday we left and arrived eight hours late, early Sunday morning (I understand, things happen). Over the course of the stay, though, one of Blaze's medications wasn't given and communication was sparse. After I checked in with Sarah about her late arrival on Sunday morning, I didn't hear from her again until I reached out for an update Monday night. The first pictures came Tuesday evening; I was happy to get a second set on Thursday showing the two cats missing from the first batch. I've never had a sitter who didn't send photos on arrival to let me know all was well, and most have been eager to share pictures and updates every day, unprompted. When we were in touch, Sarah was always polite, professional, and very self-sufficient. The house was immaculate when we got home, and the pets seemed well cared for, though a bit anxious. They are used to having someone around most of the time, and while we'd agreed Sarah didn't need to stay every night, she was gone more during the day than I'd anticipated. Sarah clearly loves animals and took great care of our home. If I were to offer advice, it would be to spend a little more time at the house and send regular updates, especially photos of all the pets early on, since that would have given us much more peace of mind.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Ulmar walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Ulmar maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Ulmar choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone.
