“Madeleine was so fantastic! This was the first time we left our dog with anyone, and I was so happy everything went smoothly. Our dog warmed up to Madeleine immediately and she was very accommodating to our needs and concerns. Thank you so much for making our pup feel safe and comfortable!”

“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! From the start, Tierra was incredibly considerate of our dog’s routine and needs. We loved getting the daily updates and photos—it really put our minds at ease while we were away. It was clear our dog felt right at home at her place and was treated like family. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!”


“Patrick was amazing! He quickly responded and was able to watch my terrier mix puppy very last minute. He sent photos and updated me throughout the evening. He even let my puppy sleep in his dog's bed! As he was my first dog sitter, I'd highly recommend Patrick to anyone and I am looking forward to working with him again. ”

“Marlene and her family were absolutely amazing! We left Bean with them for 12 days while we were out of the country, and had such peace of mind knowing how lovingly he was being cared for. They sent regular updates and we could tell Bean was genuinely happy being with them. He grew very attached and close to them. We will definitely reach out to Marlene to care for Bean again.”


“Jeff and Beth took excellent care of my dog Dexter! They sent tons of pictures which I really appreciated, and Dexter was clearly very happy and comfortable staying with them. Would definitely recommend them to anybody looking for a dogsitter.”

About: I absolutely love all animals! Growing up, my family always had a minimum of two dogs at a time. Since I was young, I have been trusted by friends and family members to watch over not only their pets, but their plants as well. As an adult living alone, I have only ever had 1 cat at a time in my home, however, my plant game has grown to a bit of a jungle! On top of taking care of animals, I also LOVE a clean house and I take it upon myself to always leave people’s homes cleaner than I found them in! I’m currently looking to open my own business doing just that: Pet sitting and deep cleaning while folks are out of town. In my opinion, there is nothing better than coming home from a vacation or a work trip to a clean home and a happy animal! I have been working with Meowtel watching cats for the last year and have found it to be exceptionally rewarding. Recently, my sweet cat passed away and I left my demanding job. Due to these circumstances I have decided that since I have the time and opportunity, opening my home to board would be a great way to expand my offerings. I look forward to meeting this community and giving dog (cat, plant, etc.) owners peace of mind while they travel, get stuck working a double, or just want to support their companion with an extra afternoon walk. I left my extremely demanding job in December after my cat got sick. I wanted to spend as much time with him as possible. Since his passing, I have focused on taking care of pets and cleaning homes. This has brought me more joy than any demanding corporate job, and I hope I can continue to work in this capacity for many years in the future. My schedule is very flexible! I am an animal lover living in an animal free home at this moment. Because of this, I am open to boarding. I am not concerned with animals who want to sit on the couch with me or lay on the bed, but I will follow the rules of what they’re allowed to do at home if you prefer that. My home will be their home, and I will do everything to make sure that they feel safe and cared for while in my hands. I’m an active person and love taking long walks and hikes. So, if that’s something that your dog is into, I am happy to schedule an adventure that meets their mileage needs! On the contrary, if you have a small dog or one who just wants to go out for a stroll around the block or to do their business in the grass, I’m happy to do that too! I have a small unfenced side yard to accommodate. I live on the second floor of an apartment building with no elevator, so if your pup is not able to do stairs and is too heavy to pick up, my home wouldn’t be a good fit.
“Robert and Brian are really great dog sitters for my dog Koda. He absolutely loves staying with them and has a blast going on long walks and adventures with Robert. I can’t recommend them enough!”


“Our 14 month old dog had never been boarded away from home. Mariola took great care of him at her home for a brief 24 hour stay in anticipation of a longer upcoming planned stay. The communication was excellent and our dog enjoyed spending time with Mariola and two other small dogs. We appreciated having our dog boarded nearby with Mariola in Berkeley.”

“Megan and Jenny were fantastic! They communicated multiple updates throughout the day — every day, and multiple times — with photos. They made sure Pancho was well taken care of and enjoyed a variety of activities. They were responsive, attentive, and kind. Drop-off and pick-up were efficient. Highly recommend — we’ll definitely be repeat customers.”

“Rachel was great and took very good care hosting Orion for the weekend! She sent updates and pictures each day, and took Orion out for a beach walk! I picked up a very happy and healthy pup! Thanks Rachel!”

“Angela was wonderful dog sitting my pup for a long weekend! She was quick to respond, happy to have an initial meet and greet and sent me tons of updates during his stay. My dog was well cared for and I’d be happy to use Angela again”

“Mary was amazing per usual! She always gives my pup so much attention and keeps me very updated which I appreciate more than she knows. He always seems very happy and comfortable with her!”

“Issac and Jordan were amazing! They had great communication before and during my pup’s stay. They provided photo updates and my pup had a great time- he was sad to leave them. I would highly recommend Issac and Jordan!”

“Meera is the best, Stella had a great time with her and Riley. She took Stella for a walk many times and kept me posted about everything at all times. Riley and Stella became best friends, I can wait to book again and I couldn’t recommend her more❤️🥳 thank you Meera!”

“Sharon was wonderful. She was very understanding of my dogs separation anxiety and really went out of her way to make sure he was able to settle. Sent lots of photos and updates!”

Upper Rockridge dog parents share their Rover experiences
My dog Dexter stayed with Christopher for three long weeks. Our communications before and during the stay were very good. Chris was always available when I called him to get an update, periodically providing me with videos of Dexter and once even doing a live session on FaceTime during one of their walks. Dexter came to Chris with a long list of instructions concerning dog’s diet and his meds. Chris followed these instructions to the T. There was no drama, nothing sentimental about Chris’ care for Dexter, but to me what mattered the most was that my boy was returned into my care healthy and happy. It is not the first time I leave Dexter with someone for several weeks stretch and I can instantly tell just by looking at the dog if he was taking care of and if he’s was a happy camper while I was gone. Looking back at our interactions and the end result I could say with confidence that I trust Chris and will be using his service next time I have to go away and leave my dog behind.

Charlie had another great stay with Kara and Nathan! This was the first time Charlie had stayed with them since they adopted their dog, Delta. But luckily the two dogs seemed to get along well, and they all took excellent care of Charlie, with regular updates and photos/videos.

Alexis was wonderful to work with and I’m grateful we were able to leave our pup in great hands! This was our first experience with Rover (though not the first with sitters) and everything was smooth, straightforward, and easy. Alexis was attentive and responsive, and sent photos every day so we could see how our dog was doing. Will definitely book with her again in the future! Thank you Alexis! 🙏💕🐾

Haley did an incredible job with my pup Nyx. From the moment we met I could tell she LOVED dogs. She made me feel comfortable about leaving my girl for a few days. It was my first time using Rover and I would highly recommend Haley to anyone looking for a caring/ compassionate dog sitter.

If you are looking for a pet sitter that will care for your animal as if they are one of your own, look no further. A selfish part of me wants to not leave a review at all so that we can keep this lovely couple all to ourselves and our dog, but that would not be fair. Robert and Brian- thank you truly for taking such incredible care of Athena and all the updates, especially the photo dumps. We (me, my partner, and Athena for sure) appreciate you both so much!

Chester and Lazlo had such a great time visiting Claudio again. I feel so good leaving them with him because he does such a good job keeping them entertained and making sure Chester gets his meds. And i.b fact, when it was time to leave this time, Lazlo didn't want to! 😆

Beth and Jeff were absolutely incredible! My girl Sunday is high energy and sometimes gets a little nervous in new places, but Beth and Jeff made Sunny feel right at home. She ran around in their oasis of a backyard and played with her new best friends (Beth and Jeff’s 2 kids)—she was even allowed to sleep in their room! Sunny came home reluctantly and very tired! Sunny already can’t wait for me to leave town so she can stay with her new pals again!

Kristen and Ryan were wonderful with our digs Theo & Frodo. They were very communicative, sent pictures and updates daily, gave one pup his daily medicine and we could tell how relaxed and happy they were when we returned. They gave us great peace of mind with our dogs while we were away.
