“Kolten and Julia were responsive and took excellent care of Dexter. This was our first time using Rover and they made sure it was an excellent one. The sent many pictures of Dexter during his stay. They made the experience very simple which helped us from worrying.”
“Starlee is always nervous with new people and animals. I can tell Natalie cares a lot and did a great job making her feel comfortable. When I came to pick her up she was a lot more relaxed and happy. I will definitely be using her services again.”
“Our dog loved staying at Stefanie’s with her dog Prince. She always sent us updates and pictures. We would love to rebook with her in the future because she’s amazing!”
“Having to leave behind a pet is already heart breaking enough and then to look for a reliable pet sitter is another challenge. Fortunately we found Vanson, he took care of our dog, Brodie, for 2.5 weeks and kept in touch with us the entire time with messages, pictures and videos of their activities. It was comforting to know that our pet was in good hands and well cared for. We will definitely entrust Brodie with Vanson again in the future.”
“Huda was wonderful. I can tell she really loved my dog and was able to work with him as he can be anxious on walks. He came home happy and I could tell he was comfortable. Huda really seems to have a way with dogs, she gets them. She’s also a great communicator and kind person. Thank you Huda, we are so happy to have found you!”

“Moose & Goose love staying with Nadia and Liam. We’ve booked with them several times and feel so comfortable leaving our pups in their care when we’re out of town. We always look forward to receiving picture/video updates and seeing them adventuring around the yard, it’s truly like a little vacation for the dogs. Thanks again for always taking such great care of our pups!🙂”
“Sant was absolutely wonderful with Westley! He was incredibly attentive and took great care of him while we were away. His communication was excellent throughout his stay, and he regularly sent us pictures and videos, which really gave us peace of mind knowing he was happy and well cared for.”
“I am confident that my pup is in good hands with Manny. He makes sure to take her on walks and give her great care. He also communicates regularly with photos to give me peace of mind.”
About: I bring more than 20 years of professional experience in veterinary medicine and animal welfare, caring for pets and supporting the people who love them. My background includes veterinary hospital leadership and many years with the San Francisco SPCA, and I'm also Fear Free Certified. I have extensive experience with pets of all ages, personalities, and needs, including puppies, seniors, anxious or fearful pets, multi-pet households, medication routines, and pets who may need a little extra patience and attention. My Fear Free training helps me recognize signs of fear, anxiety, and stress and adjust my approach so each pet can feel as safe and comfortable as possible. My veterinary background also means I pay attention to the little things. I'm accustomed to noticing changes in behavior, appetite, mobility, energy, or overall wellbeing and communicating concerns promptly. Most importantly, I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else's care. I'll treat your pets like they're my own, follow their routines closely, and make sure you get plenty of updates and photos while you're away. My schedule is currently very flexible, which gives me plenty of availability for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week. I'm available weekdays and weekends and can accommodate morning, daytime, and evening visits. I also understand how important consistency is for pets, so I'll do my best to keep their normal feeding, walking, medication, and bedtime routines intact while you're away. With more than 20 years of experience in veterinary medicine and animal welfare and Fear Free certification, I'm very comfortable caring for pets with different personalities, behaviors, ages, and needs. When caring for pets in your home, I'll follow your instructions closely and treat your home with the same care and respect I'd want someone to show mine. I'll double-check doors, gates, leashes, and other safety details, keep your pet's environment clean, and provide detailed updates and photos so you always know how things are going. I know you're trusting me with two things that matter enormously—your pet and your home—and I don't take either responsibility lightly.
“Sally was wonderful and Lucy had a great time!!! We were very nervous to leave our puppy, but Sally made us feel comfortable and sent lots of photos and a video to let us know that she was adjusting and doing well. We will definitely use Sally again. Thanks Sally!! ”
“Absolutely awesome job watching Linguini! Pictures and updates were fantastic, I could tell he was having a good time and he was well taken care of! He currently has allergies and she made sure he got his special food and allergy meds! Will definitely use for next time!”
“Kendra was wonderful with my pit/lab mix Apollo! Her yard is huge and great for dogs, Kendra was super sweet and accommodating with Apollo, and she sent nice updates on how he was doing :)”
“Amanda and Mitchell did an amazing job taking care of Louie while we were out of town for 5 days. They were great about taking Louie on daily walks and trips to the park, and provided lot updates with photos! They were very understanding when our return flight was delayed, and Amanda even offered to drop him off for free which was a huge help. He was a happy and tired boy when he got home!! Thank you Amanda and Mitchell, we will be back!”

Cat caregivers near you - Martinez
Prices are estimates per visit for 1 cat. Pricing may vary based on your search and includes a booking fee of 11%.
About: I have a deep passion for all animals and a particular sweet spot for dogs. Growing up surrounded by pets gave me hands-on experience caring for everyone from energetic puppies to gentle seniors. In my previous roles as a nanny, my responsibilities often included caring for family cats and dogs, handling feedings, daily walks, and ensuring they remained happy and healthy. I also have specific skills for taking care of exotic pets, in particular pet rats, as I have two myself. Since I currently live in an apartment without the space for a dog of my own, I am looking for ways to spend more time with animals, as they bring me so much joy and keep me active. I am currently enrolled in an online school program and work a few evenings a week. This gives me a very flexible schedule with plenty of availability during the mornings and afternoons to dedicate to your furry friends. Your pet’s safety is my top priority. I ensure that our walks take place in parks or quiet areas away from heavy traffic. While in your home, I remain attentive and vigilant to ensure your pets are safe, comfortable, and well-supervised at all times.
“Isaiah did a great job checking in on my two cats over a long weekend! He was very communicative, reliable, and my cats seemed to warm up to him quickly! I will definitely plan to use Isaiah again in the future.”
“My kitties had a great stay with Vanson. Even my skiddiah kitty warmed up to him. They loved the indoor catio and the balcony turned catio so much they asked for one at our house. Vanson was easy to communicate with and provided nice updates. I would definitely keep my kitties with Vanson again.”
About: I've taken care of cats and even helped train them since I was a toddler. I absolutely love caring for cats. I’m very patient and gentle, and I give them time to warm up at their own pace. I’m often told, “They never come out for people,” or “How did you get them to play? They’re usually so shy!” I truly enjoy getting to know each cat’s personality and routine so they feel comfortable, curious, and secure while you’re away.
“Jess was very attentive to our two adult cats and respectful to our care instructions. She provided consistent updates while we were away. We would gladly ask her to take care of our cats again!”
“Stephanie was fantastic! We booked last minute and she fit us in. She took wonderful care of our cat - coaxed her out of hiding and made her comfortable. We will definitely book with her again!”
“Highly recommend. Caroline was fantastic with our very needy cats that have to be separated (they fight). She always comes when she says she will, keeps you in the loop of day-to-day activities, and sends lots of pictures. Would recommend for anyone who needs a cat sitter.”
“Jenna was fantastic watching my kitty while I was out of town. Her communication was great and she went the extra mile. I had something glass break while I was gone and she cleaned it all up. Highly recommend!”
“Taylor was a wonderful sitter for my cat. He warmed up to her right away, even though he is typically very shy. I truly appreciated the kindness and care she showed toward both him and me. Taylor provided wonderful photos and detailed Rover Cards throughout each visit, which was especially reassuring for me. She also handled his slightly complicated meal preparation with ease and demonstrated excellent attention to detail. I look forward to working with Taylor again in the future and would absolutely recommend her cat sitting services. Thank you again for everything, you made it so much easier for me to relax and enjoy my time away knowing he was in good hands!”
About: I have loved animals since I first learned what an animal was and 27 years into life I haven't stopped! I have 7+ years of dog/cat/house sitting experience and I can administer medications if needed, along with taking care of other typical pet sitting tasks such as feeding, walking, playing, bathing, and of course, offering lots of affection and pets! Currently I’m in school (mostly online) for pre vet-med and working just as a pet sitter so I have plenty of free time to watch over your fur babies! :) I am always willing to personalize my services to best conform to your pets' medical, physical, and emotional well-being, just let me know what specific needs your pet(s) have and I will cater to them!
About: Cats have a special place in my heart. When taking neighborhood walks, I'll stop for any cat that wants a pet. My friends call me the cat whisperer because I can get even the most shy cat to warm up to me. I've had cats since I was 7 years old and currently have a fluffy tuxedo whose litter box is cleaned daily and who gets brushed, fed, and played with every day.
“Megan is the absolute best! It was my first time leaving my cats, and she made all my worries go away. Now I know I have someone I can trust to watch my cats. Her son was wonderful with my cats too!”
About: I'm excited to meet new pets and their people! While I'm new to Rover, I'm not new to caring for animals. I have over 20 years of professional experience caring for pets and homes, along with a lifetime of loving animals of my own. Animals have been part of my life since childhood. I've cared for dogs of every size, age, and personality, as well as cats, birds, and other small animals. Most recently, I spent four years living in Hawaii with my own dog, cat, and bird, and have cared for pets throughout the Bay Area, including Marin, San Francisco, Oakland, Contra Costa, and Napa. I'm an outdoor enthusiast who loves mountain biking, hiking, camping, and exploring nature. If your dog enjoys adventure and you're comfortable with it, I'm happy to include longer walks or outdoor adventures tailored to their energy level. I enjoy keeping active dogs both physically and mentally engaged, while always respecting each pet's individual needs and routine. During COVID, while my massage therapy practice was on pause, I got a certification in canine massage, deepening my understanding of canine anatomy, mobility, and comfort. This experience has been especially valuable when caring for senior dogs, anxious pets, and those who benefit from right amount of exercise and a calm, gentle touch. Every pet is different, and I take pride in carefully following your instructions so they feel safe, loved, and at home while you're away. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind, knowing your beloved companion is receiving attentive, experienced care. I've always believed animals are some of life's greatest gifts. To me, they are like guardian angels on Earth. They teach us unconditional love, presence, and joy. It's a privilege to earn their trust and care for them as if they were my own.
About: Previously owned and trained our family dog until his passing some years ago. I have birds, fish, and have been caring for family friends' dogs. I am currently willing to help, care, and walk your dogs. A great way to fill in the time as I stay home, go to school, and improve life as to looking forward to care for your dog. My dog was fed a mix of wet and dry food, water bowl always full, and daily drive/park/play/walks/hikes (regarding the weather at the current moment of time).
“Second time using Elizabeth because the first time went so well. One of my cats that’s shy with strangers and usually takes several visits before warning up to people warmed up to her almost immediately!”
About: I’ve cared for pets for the past 17 years with a focus on puppy training and development including potty training and behavioral training to socialize pups. I work remotely and have a very flexible schedule, so I am available to provide the love, care, and attention for your pup on a daily basis. I have a fenced porch yard with a doggie door for dogs to choose where they want to spend their time. I also have a dachshund-mix (Winnie) to keep your fur baby company. Additionally, I have many crates and beds available for dogs that prefer indoors.
About: I have been dog sitting and house sitting since I was around 10 and have helped a lot of neighbors, friends, and family. I love training puppies the basics like sit and shake. I am currently in college but I do it all online so I have plenty of time to play and take care of the animals. I try my best to accommodate the animal I am watching by playing with their toys, feeding them as scheduled, and taking them on walks.

“Sara was very helpful from start to finish. I had a last-minute booking and she accepted. She was very accommodating of my schedule for the day, which gave me flexibility in my travel plans.I received sweet photos of my dog Teddy throughout the day. He clearly had a good time and was very relaxed when I picked him up . I would definitely work with Sara again. I appreciated her timely and consistent communication and felt that Teddy was very well cared for.”
“Our frenchie spent an exciting day with Vanson’s dogs. He loves to run around and that’s exactly what he did. Vanson sent photos and a video of Bentley having fun. This was Bentley’s first stay with Vanson and it was a success.”
“We absolutely love Connie, but more importantly, so does our little pups. Every time Connie comes by for a walk or to pick him up, he is so excited to see her. That's because Connie is amazing, loving and caring. Connie has come by and walked Bailey, he's gone to her house for daycare and overnight stays. She's always sweet and excited to see Bailey which makes us extremely happy because we know she cares for Bailey as much as we do. The best part is every time Bailey comes home from day care he's so exhausted because he's had so much fun playing at her house. Finding Connie to watch with Bailey was one of the easiest and best decisions we made! ”

“Thank you Sant and family for taking such lovely care of Leopold. He loves being reminded of how fancy he is.....much appreciated words of praise and smiles. We look forward to future visits”
“Rachel was absolutely wonderful with our girl, Chardonnay! Chardonnay is currently recovering from back surgery, so we were especially nervous about leaving her with someone new. Rachel handled her with so much care, attention, and love, and immediately put us at ease. She was a great communicator and sent us tons of updates and photos throughout her stay, which gave us total peace of mind. It was clear that Rachel is a true dog lover and genuinely cared about Chardonnay’s comfort and well being. She asked all the right questions about how to safely handle and care for her during her post op recovery, which we really appreciated. We could tell Chardonnay was in great hands because she looked so content and completely at ease with Rachel. We would absolutely trust Rachel with Chardonnay again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, attentive, and reliable sitter!”
“Justine was awesome! She sent pictures and a video of my pup having a great time. Her dog and mine played together and my pup was happily exhausted at the end of the day. I would definitely bring my dog back to Justine.”
About: I grew up as the daughter of a professional dog trainer, so thoughtful, attentive dog care has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. My partner Mitch and I genuinely love having dogs in our home, and we aim to give every guest safe, loving, individualized care. Our sweet 15-year-old dog, Chunk, is a gentle and easygoing host. We also have a cat, so we’re unable to accept dogs with a history of aggression toward dogs or cats. What a stay with us looks like: • Individualized care for puppies, seniors, high-energy, reactive, and special-needs dogs • A comfortable home setting with a secure fenced yard, cozy resting spots, frequent potty breaks, and plenty of companionship • Daily exercise and enrichment tailored to your dog’s interests, from sniff walks and fetch to hikes, puzzles, and light training practice • Extra safety precautions, including a tracking collar during their stay and long leads for safe outdoor exploration • Thoughtful daily updates with high-quality photos and notes about how your dog is doing • Attentive routine care, including medications, post-adventure checks, basic grooming, and close attention to behavior and wellbeing • A fresh send-off, with brushing, ear and paw care, a gentle freshen-up, and washed bedding, blankets, or toys when needed I’m trained in canine CPR and happy to reinforce basic manners while following your preferred training methods. Every guest also goes home with a personalized stay report card with highlights, routines, favorite activities, and a few memorable moments from their visit. Our goal is simple: for your dog to feel less like they’re being boarded and more like they’re staying at a summer camp designed just for them. I work from home so I can be as available as your dog needs. My partner also is home for most of the day, and only works in the evenings so one of us is almost always home. We live surrounded by trails and parks so your dog will have ample adventures during their stay. Every dog will be treated with the same love and care as if they were our own. We have a large fenced yard that they are free to roam, and a cozy home with dog beds everywhere. We allow dogs on couch and bed, though I can maintain any rules you have in your home for consistency. We do also have a cat so we cannot accept any dogs that are in any way aggressive towards cats or small critters.
“Our pup had another great visit with Darren and his family! She is happy and comfortable during drop off and pick up. She loves to play with their dog and they take her on walks. We are grateful for Darren M and his family doggie daycare.”
“Shadow loved his daycare visits with Neela & family. Neela was able to take us very last-minute for three days of day visits. Neela's house was clean and safe, and we were able to work together on drop-off and pick-up times. Thank you for taking such great care of Shadow!”
About: LET ME SHOW YOU HOW I GET "FREE" FRESH WET FOOD, "FREE" TREATS, AND "FREE" PREVENTATIVE CARE ITEMS, ETC FROM CHEWY FOR MY PET. YOU TOO CAN GET THEM FOR "FREE"! I don't have any ratings at this time because I just signed up with Rover on August 22, 2026. Please kindly choose me and help me build the greatest 5 star rated service. Thank you so very much. I am a retired, stay at home, middle aged, single lady with a 12 year old neutered male Jack Russell Terrier angel of my own that I adopted 12 years ago, and I have been taking care of him all along. I have over 12 years experience caring for my own angel, and I have also provided full time care for many days to family and friends' pets in the past. Since childhood, I have been magnetically drawn to animals of all kinds. I have such profoundly deep love for animals that I mostly just live for them, in a manner such that I have donated hundreds of thousands of dollars for them, I make sacrifices in my personal life in such a manner such that I can increase my donations to animals, and I get greater joy by sacrificing for animals than by treating myself. With my pet care services, I hope to increase my donations to animals and provide companionship of his own kind to my own angel. In me, your pet will have a person caring for him/her that feels true love for him/her in the bottom of her heart. I own a spacious home with a spacious fenced yard, where I live alone with my angel. My neighborhood is tucked away and is extremely safe. I am eager to meet your angel baby, please give him/her my love, tell him/her that we are BFFs, and that we are going to have the greatest times together. We will celebrate life to the fullest together! I am retired, and I stay at home full time. I am available for pet care 24/7/365. No time or day restriction. Humbly at your, and your pet's service all the time. I own a spacious home with a fenced yard. I will personally escort your pet to the backyard for their personal private activities and to play. I also have a very gentle 20 pound neutered dog, who is extremely well behaved around other dogs. He doesn't bark at other dogs, he just wants to play, and he is never aggressive. Your pet will have company of his/her own kind. In my home, your pet will be free to jump on the couches and the bed. With your approval, he/she may sleep with me in my bed, just like my dog does. If you prefer another arrangement, please specify it, and it will be satisfied. Periodically, I will take pictures and videos and share with you so that you can see how pampered your pet is in my care. I may read bedtime stories before falling asleep, give gentle pampering massages, etc, with your approval off course. If I am pet sitting in your home, your instructions and preferences will be followed and satisfied. I am highly accommodating.
“Thank you for taking good care of Megatron, she sits on our laps alot at home so it’s great to know she’s comfortable at her day care and was able to do the same. Will rebook soon.”
“Lori was very thoughtful and communicated very well with us about how our shy 55lb girl was doing on her first day care visit. Lori's home is very clean and has a great backyard for play or lounging. We definitely will set up a sleepover date soon We are very happy with Lori's care of our girl.”
“Baoying was great with Louie! She provided playtime and exercise for my very playful pet. I also like the way her pet matches Louie’s energy, Louie is a lot calmer when i picked him up.”
“Tamiko was great! She took such good care of my French bulldog and was very attentive the whole time. I loved getting frequent updates and photos - it really put me at ease. My little guy was happy and well cared for, and I’d recommend anyone, particularly with a French bulldog, to give her a call!”

While in your home, I remain attentive and vigilant to ensure your pets are safe, comfortable, and well-supervised at all times.
About: I offer calm, personalized care in a quiet home where your dog is treated like family, not one of many in a busy boarding facility or a home with multiple dogs. I typically host one household at a time, so your dog gets my full attention, genuine affection, and all the cuddles they can handle. My home is the right fit for friendly dogs who love companionship, walks, and settling into a peaceful routine. I'm especially drawn to dogs who thrive with one-on-one attention rather than the noise and energy of a busy multi-dog environment. I'm certified in Pet CPR, Healing Touch for Animals, and Reiki. And beyond the credentials, I'm deeply attuned to each dog's personality and energy. That attunement is what helps them settle in quickly and feel genuinely at ease. My connection to animals runs deep. I spent five years volunteering at Lindsay Wildlife Rehabilitation Center, working in both the mammal department and wildlife hospital with injured and recovering animals. That experience sharpened my understanding of animal behavior and reinforced something I already believed: animals feel safety before they understand it. My goal is always to create that feeling from the moment your dog arrives! Because I work from home, pets in my care are rarely left alone for long periods and receive plenty of attention, walks, and companionship throughout the day. When pets stay in my home, they become part of a calm and comfortable daily routine. I primarily host dogs from 1 household at a time so each pet receives plenty of individual attention. Dogs here enjoy daily walks, playtime, and relaxed downtime, and I’m home much of the day since I work from home. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality and needs so they feel safe and settled. For drop-in visits or walks in a client’s home, I follow the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, fresh water, walks, litter care for cats, playtime, and companionship. I’m happy to send photo updates so owners know their pets are doing well.

“Jenna has been walking my girl Ellie while my foot is broken and she has been absolute life saver! She’s keeping Ellie safe while making sure she gets the exercise she needs and I couldn’t be more grateful.”
About: As long as I can remember, I’ve been around dogs and helping care for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I’ve always loved spending time with animals and making sure they feel happy, comfortable, and cared for. I’m patient and attentive to each dog’s individual needs and personality. I’m happy to give energetic dogs longer walks and plenty of exercise, while also taking my time with dogs who may be nervous, older, or need a little extra patience. I’ll make sure your dog gets the attention, exercise, and care they need while you’re away. I’m also happy to send photos and updates so you can know how they’re doing. Whether your dog loves to play, go for walks, explore, or simply relax, I’ll treat them with the care they deserve. I have a pretty flexible schedule, so I can dedicate plenty of time to caring for pets throughout the day. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company, I'm happy to make sure they get the attention and care they need while you're away and pet care is something i genuinely look forward to. I make sure every pet feels comfortable, safe, and cared for while their owners are away. I have a fenced yard where pets can enjoy safe outdoor time, as well as a crate available if needed. I follow each pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and any special instructions. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality and needs so they feel comfortable in my care. My goal is to make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for.
About: I grew up with animals all my life. From cats and dogs to parrots, mice, sugar gliders etc. I own 2 dogs myself and love them with all my heart. I’m comfortable with different temperaments and ages. I fostered and volunteered at several shelters throughout my life. I love animals and will make sure to take care of yours like my own. I have a flexible schedule and own a vehicle which makes same day bookings a breeze. If you ever need someone to help I’m there :) My dogs are spoiled and loved. I keep them safe and healthy. I would do my best to take care of your pets like you want me to.
About: I have patience caring for dogs, including end of life for senior dogs and dogs age 1 year and up. This includes bathing, walking, tending to wounds, playing with and taking them along on vacation! I am a college student that is studying to be an accountant. I need a flexible job. Dog walking is a perfect job for me, because I love dogs and spending time with them outdoors. I can play with your dogs, give them long walks, brush their fur, and keep them company with dog play until the are tired and happy.
“Telena was wonderful! She eased all of my nerves with a new fig that is an escape artist. She have regular updates a photos, she made sure our dog went to the bathroom, and kept her company when she was apprehensive and excitable. She’s a wonderful dog walker and sitter!”
“Vanessa is friendly, communicative, and reliable. I really appreciated how patient she was in allowing my pup Leo to take his time warming up to her—it made a big difference. Highly recommend!”

My background includes veterinary hospital leadership and many years with the San Francisco SPCA, and I'm also Fear Free Certified.

My schedule is currently very flexible, which gives me plenty of availability for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week. I'm available weekdays and weekends and can accommodate morning, daytime, and evening visits. I also understand how important consistency is for pets, so I'll do my best to keep their normal feeding, walking, medication, and bedtime routines intact while you're away. With more than 20 years of experience in veterinary medicine and animal welfare and Fear Free certification, I'm very comfortable caring for pets with different personalities, behaviors, ages, and needs.

I'll double-check doors, gates, leashes, and other safety details, keep your pet's environment clean, and provide detailed updates and photos so you always know how things are going.

I’ve cared for everything from energetic puppies to senior pets needing a gentle pace and medication reminders. My experience includes contracted dog and cat sitting in DC, walking reactive dogs, and even coordinating vet visits. I’m great at reading animal behavior, adapting to their needs, and communicating openly with owners. Whether it’s belly rubs, leash manners, or just keeping them safe and happy, I treat every pet like family.🤙🏿😊 I currently work part-time with a flexible schedule & I’m up early. Caring for animals is a meaningful part of my week that brings me joy, movement, and purpose. In your home, I focus on maintaining your pet’s routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. I follow feeding instructions, walk and play schedules, and any special care details to the letter. I keep the space clean, double-check that doors and gates are secure, and respect your home like it’s my own. 😊
About: I'm excited to meet new pets and their people! While I'm new to Rover, I'm not new to caring for animals. I have over 20 years of professional experience caring for pets and homes, along with a lifetime of loving animals of my own. Animals have been part of my life since childhood. I've cared for dogs of every size, age, and personality, as well as cats, birds, and other small animals. Most recently, I spent four years living in Hawaii with my own dog, cat, and bird, and have cared for pets throughout the Bay Area, including Marin, San Francisco, Oakland, Contra Costa, and Napa. I'm an outdoor enthusiast who loves mountain biking, hiking, camping, and exploring nature. If your dog enjoys adventure and you're comfortable with it, I'm happy to include longer walks or outdoor adventures tailored to their energy level. I enjoy keeping active dogs both physically and mentally engaged, while always respecting each pet's individual needs and routine. During COVID, while my massage therapy practice was on pause, I got a certification in canine massage, deepening my understanding of canine anatomy, mobility, and comfort. This experience has been especially valuable when caring for senior dogs, anxious pets, and those who benefit from right amount of exercise and a calm, gentle touch. Every pet is different, and I take pride in carefully following your instructions so they feel safe, loved, and at home while you're away. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind, knowing your beloved companion is receiving attentive, experienced care. I've always believed animals are some of life's greatest gifts. To me, they are like guardian angels on Earth. They teach us unconditional love, presence, and joy. It's a privilege to earn their trust and care for them as if they were my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily life. I currently work part-time with a flexible schedule, which allows me to plan my work around the pets I'm caring for whenever possible. I intentionally limit my commitments so I can provide each pet with the time, attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, quiet companionship, or simply keeping their normal routine, I'm happy to adapt my schedule to meet their needs. I understand that consistency helps pets feel safe and comfortable while you're away, and I strive to make their time with me feel as familiar and stress-free as possible. Clear communication is important to me, and I'll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is happy, loved, and well cared for. Every pet is unique, so I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and preferences before you leave. I carefully follow your instructions regarding feeding, medications, exercise, favorite walking routes, sleeping arrangements, and any special needs to help your pet feel safe and comfortable. Whether your companion enjoys long walks and outdoor adventures, playtime, enrichment activities, or simply relaxing on the couch, I tailor my care to what makes them happiest. I believe consistency and patience help pets feel secure while their family is away.
About: I've been caring for animals since childhood. I have decades of hands-on experience with both dogs and cats of all personalities. I’ve cared for neonates, seniors, shy and anxious pets, high-energy dogs, and cats with complex medical needs. I’m comfortable administering medications, following special routines, and providing attentive care tailored to each pet. I pay close attention to behavior, appetite, energy levels, and subtle signs of stress or illness. For shy or sensitive pets, I move at their pace, creating a calm, low-stress environment where they feel safe and comfortable. Whether it’s playtime, walks, snuggles, or just quiet companionship, I adjust to each pet’s needs. Above all, I treat every dog and cat like family, with patience, affection, and respect for their unique personality. I’m home during the day, which gives me a flexible schedule to provide individualized care for every pet. This allows me to accommodate special needs, from administering medications or fluids, to extra playtime, snuggles, or monitoring a pet’s health. Being home full-time ensures pets in my care always have attention, companionship, and a consistent routine, so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I provide a safe, comfortable, and pet-friendly environment for both dogs and cats. My home features a fully fenced yard for doggy guests to play and explore, plus several daily walks to keep them active and happy. I have a resident 15-year-old chihuahua who is friendly with both dogs and cats, and all pets are carefully supervised to ensure peaceful interactions. For cats, I only board one at a time or multiple from the same family. They enjoy their own bedroom outfitted with cozy cat trees, a water fountain, plenty of toys, and catnip. My resident and foster cats are kept separate from boarding pets if needed, so each animal feels safe and relaxed. Your pets will have individualized care, enrichment, and attention in a calm, secure space where they can feel at home while you’re away.
“Great walker! Christopher was communicative and on time. He was excellent with our energetic puppy with some leash pulling issues. He followed instructions and gave the report that all went well! He’s confident with dogs, especially if they need some training reinforcement. Would totally work with him again!”
About: My name is Amanda. I have many years of experience raising/owning dogs as well as am a volunteer for the Napa Animal Shelter. I currently have one dog, Wanda, who is almost 9 years old. I believe it’s important to exercise dogs frequently, keeping them healthy and calm! My dogs are avid hikers and swimmers but also enjoy sticking around at home for walks, staying in the yard, or going on local shorter trails. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out! Thanks! I have a full time job but am very active with my dog. We are out walking morning and evening and on weekends normally hiking or swimming somewhere. Please message me regarding availability. I have a very small house but live on a large property (1 acre) that is fenced in. My dog is very well socialized with other dogs.
About: Hi, I’m Joe — a lifelong dog lover who treats every pup like my own… right down to the love, the cuddles, and the occasional meatball. I’m home all day, so your dog gets constant attention, companionship, and plenty of affection. My home is relaxed and dog-friendly, with a big, fully fenced yard for safe play, sniffing adventures, and stretching their legs. Inside, pups can lounge wherever they feel comfortable — the couch, their bed, or right next to us. At night, everyone’s welcome in the bedroom, whether they prefer their own spot or decide mine looks more comfortable. (It usually does.) Being home all day means your dog gets frequent potty breaks, a calm routine, and tons of quality time. I send regular photo updates so you can see exactly how well your pup is settling in. Along with boarding, I also offer drop-in visits, in-home sitting, and dog walking, giving you flexible and reliable care options. If you’re looking for someone who will genuinely love, spoil, and treat your dog like family — with all the comfort and maybe a meatball or two — I’d be honored to welcome them. I am home full-time, allowing me to provide constant supervision and care. Pet care seamlessly fits into my routine through regular walks, attention, and companionship. In my home, dogs enjoy a large fenced yard, supervised play, and full comfort—allowed on furniture, loved like family, and welcome to sleep beside us.
About: Hi my name is Nneka and I happen to love dogs very much and I will be happy to keep an eye on and/or walk him/her anytime. I currently work nights from 5pm-2:30am. So I am available in the daytime to be there for your pet! I will care for your pet as my own and I will do well to make sure that your dog is being well taken care of. I have taken care of my sister’s, my aunties and many of my friend’s dogs before so I have a bit of experience. I also have a dog who is currently with my mom. I would love to meet you and your dog and give them the best experience. Thank you! Since I work at nights, caring for your pet will fill a lot of my mornings up. Whether it’s exercising with your pet or checking in with them, my mornings will be filled with joy. How I will care for your pets, whether it is walking them or going to your place for a check in, is make sure their needs are taken care of. I will not put them in harms way nor will I do anything to jeopardize their safety.

About: I bring more than 20 years of professional experience in veterinary medicine and animal welfare, caring for pets and supporting the people who love them. My background includes veterinary hospital leadership and many years with the San Francisco SPCA, and I'm also Fear Free Certified. I have extensive experience with pets of all ages, personalities, and needs, including puppies, seniors, anxious or fearful pets, multi-pet households, medication routines, and pets who may need a little extra patience and attention. My Fear Free training helps me recognize signs of fear, anxiety, and stress and adjust my approach so each pet can feel as safe and comfortable as possible. My veterinary background also means I pay attention to the little things. I'm accustomed to noticing changes in behavior, appetite, mobility, energy, or overall wellbeing and communicating concerns promptly. Most importantly, I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else's care. I'll treat your pets like they're my own, follow their routines closely, and make sure you get plenty of updates and photos while you're away. My schedule is currently very flexible, which gives me plenty of availability for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week. I'm available weekdays and weekends and can accommodate morning, daytime, and evening visits. I also understand how important consistency is for pets, so I'll do my best to keep their normal feeding, walking, medication, and bedtime routines intact while you're away. With more than 20 years of experience in veterinary medicine and animal welfare and Fear Free certification, I'm very comfortable caring for pets with different personalities, behaviors, ages, and needs. When caring for pets in your home, I'll follow your instructions closely and treat your home with the same care and respect I'd want someone to show mine. I'll double-check doors, gates, leashes, and other safety details, keep your pet's environment clean, and provide detailed updates and photos so you always know how things are going. I know you're trusting me with two things that matter enormously—your pet and your home—and I don't take either responsibility lightly.
“Kendra was wonderful with my pit/lab mix Apollo! Her yard is huge and great for dogs, Kendra was super sweet and accommodating with Apollo, and she sent nice updates on how he was doing :)”
“Amanda and Mitchell did an amazing job taking care of Louie while we were out of town for 5 days. They were great about taking Louie on daily walks and trips to the park, and provided lot updates with photos! They were very understanding when our return flight was delayed, and Amanda even offered to drop him off for free which was a huge help. He was a happy and tired boy when he got home!! Thank you Amanda and Mitchell, we will be back!”

“Colleen and her husband took amazing care of my dog Cody! It's the first time I have left Cody overnight with anyone except immediate family and I felt super comfortable and confident they would do a great job, which they did. They were super easy to work with from beginning to end, for which I'm very grateful. I highly recommend Colleen to watch your furry friend...Dan”
“This was our first time using rover and Lisa made the whole process smooth! She took great care of Louie. He had so much fun with her dogs. We will definitely be using Lisa again!!”
“Jess is truly exceptional as a pet sitter. I've never come across someone so responsive and accommodating. Despite a last-minute request to care for August, Jess accepted without hesitation. Despite my uncertainty about how August would handle being boarded, Jess embraced the challenge, even maintaining her training regimen. Throughout the day, Jess provided frequent updates on August's training progress, complete with delightful videos and photos from the park. It's evident that she treated August as if she were one of her own fur-babies. I wholeheartedly recommend Jess for her outstanding boarding, dog sitting, and other services.”
“Thank you, Max, Virginie and Louise for taking such good care of our beloved, Rosa. While only for an overnight, we could quickly see that she adjusted well. We'll be in touch again with plans for another visit! Thank you!”

About: Hi there! My name is Lauren. I have 11 years of pet care experience, along with 2 years of professional pet care experience through a boutique pet care company. During that time, I received training in pet care, first aid, and canine CPR, and gained hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats with a variety of personalities, needs, and routines. My soul-dog, Buster, was by my side for 11 wonderful years before sadly passing away in 2025. I’ve missed having that special furry companionship in my life ever since, and caring for dogs is something that brings me so much joy. I’m excited to provide the same love, patience, and attentive care to your pets that I’ve always given my own. I'm currently working towards my Masters Degree in Social Work, which is fully remote, meaning I am home 7 days a week to take care of your pet. I take pride in providing a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where pets can feel relaxed and at home. My apartment is very pet-friendly, with plenty of nearby flat, open green space for walks, playtime, and fresh air. I’m meticulous about keeping food and water bowls clean and ensuring pets always have fresh water. I’m also very attentive to each pet parent’s instructions and routines, and I’m comfortable administering medication when needed. I have experience caring for puppies and senior dogs, and understand that every dog has their own personality, comfort level, and needs, including dogs who may experience anxiety.
