“Christine was incredibly easy to communicate with, professional, and showed wonderful care for my dog Manchi! She navigated her anxiety and quirks so well, took her on a bunch of walks, and even gave me a polaroid of her holding a show, her favorite thing to do 😊”
“Van Joseph and Matthew were fabulous dog sitters. They treated our dog like one of their own and gave her lots of attention. They were very communicative, sending frequent photo and video updates. We recommend them highly and will book with them again.”
“Hope was recommended to us by another great Rover sitter, and we are really grateful. Hope is so friendly and knowledgeable about dogs and their behavior. She made Coconut comfortable immediately. Her little dog Rocky is adorable and super friendly. Coconut loved going for walks and playing with Rocky's toys. Hope was great with sending text updates as well as photos and videos. Here's hoping Hope doesn't get too busy to have room for Coconut the next time we need her!”
“Danielle and Joel always do such an incredible job. They go way above and beyond what’s expected and it’s clear how much they love dogs. Can’t recommend Danielle for dog boarding enough.”
“Mariola provided a kind a loving home for our dogs’ first overnight with her. She also provided us with some useful insights into their behavior. She was a clear and easy communicator throughout the process.”
“I had a very positive experience with Chen boarding my pup Bernie for a few days. Bernie is a well behaved dog, but he has a few needs that Chen took on willingly. He also took the time to meet with me and Bernie ahead to make sure all his needs were understood. It is clear to me that Chen loves pets and treats them with care. He sent me many updates reflecting his attention to Bernie's comfort and sense of feeling at home and with family. He also sent many stellar photos. Chen has a real talent there and I think also shows his adoration of the pets he cares for. Chen and his family were kind and warm to me and to Bernie and I reccomend him for you.”
“Mary was exceptional with our pup Enzo! She was very communicative with us through out the day with updates and photos which comforted me knowing he was doing great. Mary did not only watch and feed Enzo, but took him to the dog park (his favorite place), and along to run errands with her. I would 100% recommend Mary to take care of your fur baby!”
“Maia was a wonderful sitter - super communicative and caring! She sent multiple updates and photos while we were away and went way above and beyond in making sure Lula had enough exercise and playtime! I highly recommend her!”
“Thais and Marlene were great. They took great care of Harry while we were out for 10 days visiting family for the holidays. Thais was very responsive to us and sent photos regularly with updates on how Harry was doing. A great experience overall.”
“Sherry went above and beyond to take care of Molly during her stay, including taking her to vet (which was quite a drive away) when her vet here in Berkeley was unable to see her immediately. She clearly loves animals and will do her best to care for them like her own pet during their stay. Five stars for her extra time and care to ensure the best care for our girl!”
“Nikolai and his wife have a lot of experience watching after all breeds and sizes of dogs. My pup stayed with them along a large group of other pups over the holidays and we had an overall good experience with them. I was happy to know that our pup had plenty of friends to be with during his long stay.”
“Albina took great care of Abby. This was my very first time leaving her with a sitter and I was a very anxious momma! Albina was patient with me and put my anxiety at ease with ongoing communication, pictures, and videos. I would definitely recommend Albina!”
“Donovan was very responsive and great at communicating! He sent updates and followed instructions on supplements and tooth brushing to a tee. My senior chihuahua mix and young pit bull seem like they were well taken care of and entertained!”
“Robert and Brian, again, were wonderful with Nada. We feel quite comfortable leaving her with them and will absolutely leave her with them again. Thank you both ❤️”
“This was our 4th booking with Anthony and Nikita. We know that our dog will get loving, careful care, and there will be daily updates and photos. It's a weight off our minds to know he's in good hands.”
“Such an amazing experience thanks to Kani - from the get-go she was so friendly and totally open to my erratic drop-off and pick up hours (thanks work and Southwest Airlines schedules!) and her resident pooch - Mr Prince - is just the sweetest. She coped with my pup being on meds and needing to maintain a low level of activity owing to an injury and sent loads of photo updates - leading me to worry that my dog wouldn't want to come home as she was having such a wonderful time! I will definitely book again and am already working out when Lexie can stay with her for daycare - thank you so much!”
About: I have been caring for dogs and cats since childhood and deeply love connecting with animals. I supported my last dog through her later years and have sensitivity to the needs of elder puppies. I also enjoy the energy of younger dogs and live right near San Pablo park for dogs who like to socialize. I mostly work from home with occasional in person meetings during the week. I am available for pet care throughout the week and can let dogs out to the back yard throughout the day. I live in a quiet but lively neighborhood with lots of great areas to walk and sniff. The back yard is fenced in and allows space to lounge in the sun. There are no other pets or humans currently in the house so it is very peaceful and quiet most of the time. I don't take dogs from more than one household at a time. I check in on the pets I care for regularly and track their emotional as well as physical needs, giving pets and butt scratches often!
About: I offer a quieter, more individualized kind of dog sitting. I only take dogs from one household at a time, so your dog won’t be sharing the space with a rotating group of other dogs. That allows me to give them a lot of individual attention and to keep their routine as familiar as possible. I’m a licensed acupuncturist and a therapist in training, so being reliable and observant is a big part of my professional life. I’m also very conscientious about following your instructions closely. I know how much the little details matter, and I make a point of keeping track of feeding schedules, medications, walks, sleeping arrangements, and the routines that help your dog feel at home. I have firsthand experience caring for an anxious dog who later developed dementia and physical limitations. Because of that, I’m especially comfortable with senior dogs and dogs who are sensitive or easily overwhelmed. I understand how much patience and consistency can matter when a dog needs extra support. I’m especially available on weekends, when I can spend plenty of time with your dog rather than fitting visits around a packed schedule. Depending on their personality and energy level, we might have a quiet day at home, take neighborhood walks, or head out to places like Piedmont Park, the Albany Bulb, or the beach. I want your dog to feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away, and I want you to feel completely confident that someone is really paying attention to them. Pet care fits best into my schedule on weekends, when I have plenty of time to give dogs attention, walks, companionship, and a relaxed home environment. I’m generally available from Friday evening through Sunday and can often accommodate weekend boarding or daytime care. During the week I work a regular professional schedule, so I’m intentional about only accepting bookings when I know I can provide the time and attention a pet needs. When a dog is staying with me, I want them to be part of my routine rather than squeezed into it. I take safety and trust seriously and make a point of following each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. In my home, I provide a calm, comfortable environment and make sure dogs have appropriate supervision, regular walks and potty breaks, fresh water, and plenty of attention. I’m careful about feeding instructions, medications, leash safety, and any behavioral or health concerns you share with me. I also like to know about a dog’s personality, triggers, routines, and preferences ahead of time so I can help them feel comfortable and settled. If I’m caring for a pet in your home, I’m respectful of your space and follow your instructions closely. I’m also happy to send updates and photos so you know how your pet is doing while you’re away.

“My kitties were happier than can be! Beth is incredibly friendly, very responsive to all messages, and so accommodating. 1000% recommend and we plan to use her every time we go away if she’s available!”
“Jensine was soo great with our kitties!! Usually when we come home from a trip one of our cats hides under the bed for a while in protest but this time she was perfectly happy when we got home! we know they had a good time with her. We could tell she was super organized and tidy while here. Looking forward to booking again 🩷”
“So grateful we had Jes checking in on cheezit! She got her meds regularly, was well-fed, and had lots of play time. Jes was considerate and sent nice photos while we were gone. We were able to add an extra day and it gave us real peace of mind! Jes also brought in the mail and things I failed to put on hold before leaving.”
“If we could leave more than 5 stars we would. Alyssa gave good vibes dome the jump. Once the visits started we got follow-up questions, plenty of photos, and updates, Alyssa was a phenomenal sitter with great communication. We could tell the kitties were in such great hands, because they didn't even run up to the door for cuddles when we got home. That has never happened. We appreciated the care Alyssa took to sweep up the litter too because no other rover sitter we've had has done that.”
“We hired Jasmine to drop by and care for our cat Sparky while we were out of town for a few weeks. Even though it was on short notice, she was quick to respond, and setting things up was seamless. She stopped by every day without fail and sent us update pictures showing Sparky was happy and eating. Sparky also seemed to quickly take a liking to her, which isn't always the case as she can be a bit skittish. Would definitely hire again!”
“William has been absolutely wonderful with my little fur babies. While I’m away, he sends photos and provides access to a live camera so I can check in on them anytime. Seeing them relaxed and cared for brings me so much peace of mind. I truly feel they are in excellent hands and would highly recommend him to anyone seeking trustworthy and compassionate pet care.”
“Shirley is incredible and dependable! We’ve used her numerous times and she always goes the extra mile for us. We feel safe and secure knowing she’s looking out for our pet and home”
About: For 5 years I worked at a dog daycare with all kinds of canines! For most of my time there, I was an overnight caretaker, solely responsible for anywhere between 5-99 dogs. I’ve worked with pups of all ages, many breeds, and many needs. Before that, I spent my teenage years volunteering at a local shelter, where I walked and cuddled dogs from all walks of life, and got the hang of getting nervous newcomers out of their shell. And it’s not just dogs I love, but all kinds of critters big and small! I have a cat and lizard, I enjoy any opportunity I have to cat-sit, and exotic pets whose care may be more than some want to handle are my pleasure! I’m happy to tailor care however you’d like to give your little friend the best! I’m free for the summer before my classes start, which gives me plenty of opportunity to care for your pets! I am mostly available after noon, and my availability is very open on all days but Friday I can only do walks or home visits as my house is already occupied by a disapproving cat, but while I’m with your pet I’ll be sure to give them exactly the care they need! I’m happy to give walks and visits where they’ll have all my attention, and I have experience administering any medication (non-injectable) that they require. If they’re just in need of company, I can supervise them in your yard, cuddle or hold them, or simply work quietly nearby if they would rather do their own thing without being alone. When I’m with your pet, I will always be reachable, so if you need to give instructions or check in on your pet, I can respond immediately
“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!”
About: I’ve been pet sitting since 2022, with the majority of my experience caring for cats. Over time, I’ve developed a strong understanding of feline behavior and am comfortable recognizing their individual personalities, routines, boundaries, and needs. I’m attentive, reliable, and take the time to make each cat feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’m also happy to follow detailed care instructions and maintain your cat’s usual routine as closely as possible.
About: I’ve been a cat parent for about five years and currently share my home with my two cats, Nori and Aya. Caring for them has taught me how different every cat’s personality can be—from playful and social to shy and independent. I’m comfortable with feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, brushing, playtime, and giving cats attention on their own terms. I’m also very observant about changes in behavior, appetite, or routine and will keep you updated with photos during every visit.
About: I’ve taken care of cats for over 16 years and truly understand how to care for animals with patience and love. I also have experience rescuing and helping stray dogs and cats, so I’m very attentive to different personalities, emotions, and special needs. I’m comfortable caring for both dogs and cats, including senior pets who need extra patience and gentle attention. I treat every pet like family and always try to make them feel safe, calm, and loved while you’re away.
“Kristy was wonderful! She was very quick and responsive to helping me with my nine month old lil kitten, especially at a short notice for an unexpected work trip. She was also flexible to meet me in person beforehand to go over how to enter my place & Canela’s schedule. Kristy provided consistent photos and check-ins and kept Canela’s litter box nice and clean ✨ I would recommend Kristy and would definitely rebook whenever I’m out of town, and you should to ☺️”
About: Thankfully I grew up with cats. I had the pleasure of having littermates in my family for 10yrs. I love matching a cat’s energy. So as long as I understand the cat’s temperament, we’ll be good.

“VJ and Matthew took amazing care of my dog Willa! They were so communicative and sent lots of pictures and videos. Willa seemed to have a great time with their dogs and feel comfortable despite her anxiety. Will definitely be booking again!”
“Chen and his family all supported my dog at day care and providing top notch care, updates, and photographs of her stay! Highly recommend to anyone looking for great sitters who LOVE dogs and we will absolutely be coming back to see them!”
“Thank you for watching our sweet Porky pie. He had such a great time. We love that he gets to have play time with other dogs and so glad he got along so well with Nala. Loved all the great updates while away, it really made my heart happy to see he is well taken care of while we are away. Highly recommend to anyone needing a pet sitter. Amazing communication!!! And your pet will be well taken care of.”
“I highly recommend Nathalie. She took excellent care of our senior dog. She is friendly, easy to communicate with, and her place was very clean. Most importantly, it is very evident how much she loves dogs and other animals. We will be contacting her in the future when we need dog sitting again.”
“Alison was really nice, and my dog was drawn to her right away at our meet and greet. She was really understanding with me as a first time app user, and made me feel safe about leaving my dog with a stranger for the first time. She handled my dogs separation anxiety really well and sent me updates so I wouldn't worry. I would definitely book again.”
About: I’ve had pets since I was young including caring for and owning small, medium, and large dogs. I appreciate the need for exercise and am happy to maintain any rules for your pet to keep consistency. I’m well versed in giving pets medicine, training puppies with voice, treats and eye contact. I currently have a 60lb dog that is strong and unreliable meeting dogs on leash so I am versed in managing larger dogs and boundaries needed in their care so they feel supported. (My dog is with me 50% time and I will only take in sitting jobs when she isn’t here). I also appreciate and care for cats though I have never owned one. I work full-time from home and a two bedroom apartment, and I’m available to board. I walk regularly and have my own dog 50% time. I will only board when I don’t have her. I can do fast walks, slow walks, and I have a car to take dogs to hikes if that is desired. I have an unfenced yard for quick potty breaks if needed, but prefer walking dogs on leash around the Elmwood neighborhood if they are staying with me. It’s good to get exercise! Also happy to walk them in your area if I’m just doing a house visit. I have a laundry room where I can close off any pet food storage if your pet is adventurous and gets into things. I like building trust and boundaries with dogs early so that they can feel secure. I also love playing with toys and keeping them in rotation whether that’s a Kong, pull toys, cat feathers or mice, etc.
“We had a great first daycare with Nikolai! He is very responsive and easy to coordinate with. It was nice to know Jax was having a fun day with other dogs and nice people. Excited to go back again!!”
About: I've taken care of animals since a young age. Everything from dogs, cats, to chickens and fish, and of course, the occasional wild pig ;) I have a frug, so pet care is a part of my everyday routine. Daily bathroom breaks, walks, playtime, and a trip to the dog park. I have a fenced yard and my dog loves to run around it. She gets along well with other dogs that I care for and I let them roam freely around my home.
“SO grateful for Ningna! She was quick to respond to my last minute request and was a very thoughtful host for my dog. He seemed to have a great time with her. I’d definitely reach out to her again and really appreciate her help!”
“Claudio was amazing with Xico. Xico does not always get along with other dogs, but Claudio has the ability to ease any tension or fear Xico may feel around new dogs. Claudio went above and beyond to make Xico feel at home. They even went to Alameda beach! I know Xico felt safe and happy due to Claudio’s warm energy. I’m so happy Xico could socialize and have fun this week!”
“Emily and her daughter were the best! We needed a last minute sitter for our puppy and they took such great care and updated us with photos We are so grateful we met them on Rover and definitely would recommend to any future pups! Don’t hesitate to book Emily if you have a chance to!!!”
“Our furry old man loved the snuggles, scratches & pets so much that he didn't want to come home with us during pick up! Yeon is very sweet & friendly, responds very quickly to messages & kept us up to date with pictures. Thank you so much! 11/10 definitely would recommend!”
“Aprajita was amazing with our Bella, she came back home happy and tired after playing with their pup. She was really attentive and careful, and continuously shared updates and photos during the day! Would 100% recommend.”

“Terry was great with our big dog Ziggy. Ziggy is strong and has a lot of energy. He always returned from the walks happy and exhausted. Terry went above and beyond to work with and bond with my dog. Will definitely hope to have him walk Ziggy again when we need the help. Thanks!!”
About: Hi, there! My name is Halle and I recently moved to Berkeley from Beaverton, OR. While I was living in Beaverton, I dog-sat and house-sat over the course of the lat six years for several different families whose animals ranged from puppies, dogs (large, medium and/or small), cats, guinea pigs and more. I have a huge passion for animals and am able to provide extra care for those who have pets with health issues (i.e., giving them medicine, eyedrops, injections, etc). I'm an avid walker and love to spend time outdoors -- I'm happy to walk your dog as much as desired/needed. Thank you for your consideration! I'm currently in the process of securing a full-time job in Berkeley so until then, I have unlimited availability to care for your pet! During every pet-sitting gig I've completed over the last six years, I've always stayed at the homeowner's house. I'm known for being communicative, proactive, clean/tidy/organized and consistently ensuring the animal receives high quality care, affection, attention, safety and exercise. I'm an avid walker and love spending time outside so I'm more than happy to take your pet on a walk for however long you want!
“Dash is excellent with dogs. My pups were so happy after their walk. Dash has this calming personality around dogs. I see mine loving being around him. My dogs don’t go out for a walk with anyone except for me. Seeing them trusting Dash was wonderful comforting sight.”
“Annalise did an amazing job with Happy! Happy is a very friendly but anxious dog. I’m glad he got along with Annalise :) would definitely book again since I’m a frequent traveller.”
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.
“Ruby is incredibly kind and her passion and love for dogs is palpable! Our dog Olive can can be slow to warm up but she took to Ruby right away! Ruby's taken Olive on multiple fantastic walks (even being so kind as to come on weekend evenings!) and we are so excited that Olive will get to stay with Ruby during an upcoming trip!”
About: I have had pets and provided care for others pets consistently for the last 10 years. I love dog walking and getting outside on trails with animals. I also have cats and love anything and everything to do with kitties. I have Tuesdays and Thursdays available for dog walking. Shorter pet checkins are something I can do most days of the week. I am flexible and happy to make time if we seem like a good fit. I am very good with animals and work to meet them on their level. I am very familiar with dog walking safety and I am a very detail oriented person who goes above and beyond.
About: I've been taking care of kitties for my entire life, and more recently, dogs! So far, I've worked with hyper dogs, an anxious dog, and a sick dog, so I'm comfortable with a variety of energies. It's always such a pleasure to be around pets, and I look forward to meeting your fur babies! I currently have a pretty open schedule besides some remote work I do twice a week. The days I have set for my availability are pretty consistently open, and other days, I can be flexible if you reach out in advance In a new space, I allow them to find a space they feel comfortable in and hang out with them for as long as they need to get adjusted. In a client’s home, I’d clarify everything with the client to make sure I’m attending to the pet’s needs appropriately
“Chandlor did a great job walking my two dogs - together and separately. They greeted him with enthusiasm and came back well exercised. You can tell he has dogs of his own & knows how to communicate with them. Thanks, Chandlor”
“Heather was an absolutely wonderful dog walker for my two mini schnauzers! She walked them multiple times a week and was always reliable, attentive, communicative and great about following all of my instructions. I have one very social dog and one who is much more shy and cautious, and Heather did such a great job with both of their personalities. She was patient and took the time to earn their trust, and I could tell from my doggy camera that they would actually wait for her walks, which says a lot about how much they loved seeing her. I would happily recommend Heather to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and dependable dog walker. She was fantastic with my pups, and I’m so grateful for the care she gave them. Highly recommend! 🐾❤️”

About: Hey I’m Izzy! I’m here to treat your fur babies as if they’re mine. When I’m with your dog I like to stimulate their mind by bringing treats and toys and have fun with some training (of course with your permission first!). I am currently a self employed dog trainer so I do know how to handle different types of dogs. My main experience is training and I frequently work with service dogs. I have experience with all kinds of temperaments so don’t be shy to let me know if your dog has an anxiety issue or is overly excited. My upmost important priority is making your dog feel as comfortable as possible when he or she is under my care. I can’t wait to meet all these beautiful faces! I am also a student and still new to the bay area. Luckily at the moment my schedule is rather flexible, I can potentially adjust my schedule for your pet on certain occasions! I will follow whatever instructions you give me when I stay over at your home. There will be constant supervision when let outside or on a walk. Your dog will have a warm bed (or crate) to sleep in and their mental + physical needs will be met everyday!
About: Grown up with cats and dogs my whole life, old and young and love to hang out and care for them, I also have a spacious yard and time to walk with them I am a mma fighter and a wrestling coach I’m free all day Sundays and weekdays after 12, Saturdays I’m normally busy but this isn’t always the case I have a safe home all food is locked up so they can’t get into anything they shouldn’t, my yard is fenced and secure so they shouldn’t be able to run off
“I had a fantastic experience with Sarah looking after my dog, Bash. From the start, it was clear that she was committed to keeping him physically engaged and safe. I really appreciated that she prioritized getting him out for plenty of long, vigorous walks. It was a huge relief to travel knowing that Bash was in capable hands, getting the exercise he needs to stay happy and tired. Beyond the activity, she kept me updated with check-ins and amazing photos (seriously I might frame one of them), which gave me complete peace of mind. I would highly recommend Sarah to anyone looking for a responsible, communicative, and active pet sitter. Both Bash and I are extremely satisfied customers!”

About: I offer a quieter, more individualized kind of dog sitting. I only take dogs from one household at a time, so your dog won’t be sharing the space with a rotating group of other dogs. That allows me to give them a lot of individual attention and to keep their routine as familiar as possible. I’m a licensed acupuncturist and a therapist in training, so being reliable and observant is a big part of my professional life. I’m also very conscientious about following your instructions closely. I know how much the little details matter, and I make a point of keeping track of feeding schedules, medications, walks, sleeping arrangements, and the routines that help your dog feel at home. I have firsthand experience caring for an anxious dog who later developed dementia and physical limitations. Because of that, I’m especially comfortable with senior dogs and dogs who are sensitive or easily overwhelmed. I understand how much patience and consistency can matter when a dog needs extra support. I’m especially available on weekends, when I can spend plenty of time with your dog rather than fitting visits around a packed schedule. Depending on their personality and energy level, we might have a quiet day at home, take neighborhood walks, or head out to places like Piedmont Park, the Albany Bulb, or the beach. I want your dog to feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away, and I want you to feel completely confident that someone is really paying attention to them. Pet care fits best into my schedule on weekends, when I have plenty of time to give dogs attention, walks, companionship, and a relaxed home environment. I’m generally available from Friday evening through Sunday and can often accommodate weekend boarding or daytime care. During the week I work a regular professional schedule, so I’m intentional about only accepting bookings when I know I can provide the time and attention a pet needs. When a dog is staying with me, I want them to be part of my routine rather than squeezed into it. I take safety and trust seriously and make a point of following each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. In my home, I provide a calm, comfortable environment and make sure dogs have appropriate supervision, regular walks and potty breaks, fresh water, and plenty of attention. I’m careful about feeding instructions, medications, leash safety, and any behavioral or health concerns you share with me. I also like to know about a dog’s personality, triggers, routines, and preferences ahead of time so I can help them feel comfortable and settled. If I’m caring for a pet in your home, I’m respectful of your space and follow your instructions closely. I’m also happy to send updates and photos so you know how your pet is doing while you’re away.
