“We have used Patrick for our kids twice now; he has been great. This time he was flexible and helped us out a lot when our return was delayed a couple days due to flight cancellations and delays. We will definitely rebook (if he isn't tired of our dogs already).”
“Koda always has a blast at Jeff & Beths’s. So grateful she gets to go to such a sweet and safe home to play and cuddle and get so well taken care of. They are the best! Thank you!”
“What a dream team for watching our dog. From our first communication with Robert we knew Max would be in good hands. We got daily updates and Max came back super happy and exhausted from all the miles walked. We look forward to booking them again!”
“Eiko is such a fantastic sitter who we truly trust. She has watched our dog twice now while we are traveling, and both times we felt very comfortable knowing our dog was in good hands. The first time she watched our dog, she arranged a meet and greet. The second time, our dog, who is normally on the anxious side, was so excited to see her house again that he ran right up to the front door. She is very caring and friendly and sends us lots of updates. Highly recommend!”
“We couldn’t have asked for better care for Kiko! Megan and Jenny were so flexible, thoughtful, and sent us lots of updates, which gave us so much peace of mind. Kiko was clearly in great hands — we’re so grateful and would absolutely recommend them to anyone!”
“Maria & Kevan along with their wonderful girls were amazing petsitters for our Labrador Retreiver, Louie. From the moment I dropped off Louie and met them, I could tell he was going to be completely comfortable, well-cared for, and loved for the duration of his 10 day stay with their family. Receiving a photo or two of Louie each day was amazing and it was heartwarming to see Louie so happy getting lots of snuggles, playtime with his toys, neighborhood walks, and peaceful naps at their feet. Thank you so much to Maria & Kevan and their daughters for making Louie feel like a part of their family! Louie can't wait to visit again!”
“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!”
“The other nice thing about Lee's dog sitting is that the other dogs who were there when we boarded were so great, too. We love that Snowy gets to meet other fun dogs!”
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.
“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!”
“Marlene did an excellent job of communicating about MacGuyver's issues while we were away, for which we were very grateful. It was obvious Marlene loved our special needs dog very much (he's blind) and she did her best to walk him twice a day despite him not wanting to walk. (He needed the exercise to get tired and sleep). We will definitely hire Marlene again; her personality is super gentle and kind. Her apartment was impeccably clean every time I visited (3 times). THANK YOU MARLENE!”
“Angela and her partner were amazing with my puppy Clementine!! She was very quick with responses throughout and sent great updates. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for great care while away.”
“Kit took wonderful care of our puppies! She was very attentive, gave us detailed updates, and was so accommodating when our plane was delayed! She took the time to get to know our dogs and made sure all their unique needs were met. Her love for dogs really shows!”
“Isaac and Jordan did a great job watching our boy! They were very communicative and were there to answer any questions. They also sent photos which was much appreciated. He slept the whole next day after we picked him up which is always a sign that he had a good time!”
“Sharon took great care of Cain, especially given a recent health concern that popped up for him right before we were leaving for our trip. I felt that he was comfortable and in great care!”
“Mary is wonderful! We recently adopted our dog from a shelter and he has some separation anxiety, so we weren't sure how his first overnight stay would go, but Mary's patient and thoughtful approach helped him feel comfortable quickly. We appreciated that she set up a meet & greet with her dog in advance, and then was in touch throughout his stay. We'll be sure to book Mary in the future.”

“Zsa-Zsa was wonderful! She took such great care of our three cats and kept us updated with regular messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She followed all of our instructions perfectly and was super communicative. We came home to happy cats and a tidy home :) I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and attentive sitter!”
“I had an excellent experience with Shanley as my cat sitter. Communication was clear and timely throughout, which made me feel at ease while I was away. Shanley went above and beyond by not only taking great care of my cat but also cleaning up and even doing some dishes. Highly recommended!”
“Jena was flexible and on time. She took very good care of our pup. I was impressed that she remembered the order of feeding then walking the dog (so that she could go potty). It felt good knowing that she was experienced. I would definitely turn to Jena again.”
About: i’ve been fostering cats and kittens through the local shelter since i was 8. I still actively foster and volunteer at oakland animal services for both cats and dogs and i feel confident in my skills to help support outside the shelter. i’ve supported cats and kittens with special medical needs such as oral medication and medicated baths and more. i can promise your loved one is in good hands under my care :)
About: I’ve cared for cats for years through cat sitting for family and friends, as well as professionally while working for a pet care company, See Spot Sit in San Diego. I’m comfortable with cats of different temperaments and understand how important it is to respect their routines and personalities. I’m experienced with feeding schedules, litter box maintenance, playtime, and providing a calm, low-stress environment while owners are away. Whether a cat is social and playful or more shy and independent, I’m patient, attentive, and focused on making sure they feel safe and well cared for!
“Elizabeth came and visited my cat while we were away for a week. She did a great job- super friendly and responsive, and even took out our trash / pulled it back in for us. It was so nice to know our beloved Gigi was taken care of while we were away. 10/10 recommend!”
“Cara did a great job taking care of my cat while I was away! I really appreciated her thoughtful updates about how he was doing, and she made me feel better knowing that he was under her care. She was a consistent and reliable caretaker.”
About: Cat Care Experience – What Sets Us Apart I have extensive experience caring for cats and have been around them my entire life. I understand that cats thrive on routine, calm energy, and respect for their boundaries, and I take a gentle, patient approach to their care. I am comfortable with all aspects of cat care, including feeding, fresh water, litter box maintenance, playtime, companionship, and administering medications when needed. I take extra care to keep litter areas clean and odor-free and always make sure your home is left tidy and respected. My daughter has also grown up around cats and loves animals deeply. She may assist me with visits under my supervision, usually after school, and enjoys providing extra affection and gentle interaction for cats who enjoy companionship. I am the primary caregiver and handle all responsibilities, communication, and care decisions. Every cat is treated as an individual, and I tailor care to their personality — whether they’re playful, shy, senior, or simply prefer quiet company. Please note: As a recipient of chemo recently, I know how very hard it is to take care of your beloved animals during treatment. If you are currently undergoing chemo, please reach out and let me know and we will reduce our rates for a weekly drop in. Just let us know you need help 🩷🎗️
About: Hello! My name is Mary. I am a lifelong pet owner and animal enthusiast. I grew up on a horse farm with dogs, cats, horses, hamsters, and the odd rogue toad, so caring for animals with love and respect is literally second nature. I'm a somatic embodiment coach by trade, so I have a unique skill set for helping animals feel relaxed and comfortable in my care. I have joyously fostered 20+ dogs and cats in their transition to forever homes, and have extensive experience with house and pet sitting. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and breeds, from 6 pound little weasels to 80 pound gentle giants. I have a special place in my heart for seniors (and have experience caring for them.) I am comfortable and experienced with administering medication. Because I work from home online and over zoom, I can accommodate animals that need a shorter window of alone time. I'd be delighted to treat your fur family with all the love and care I would give my own. I look forward to hearing from you! I have my own online business, so my schedule is very fluid and flexible. I love walking dogs and can easily do day or evening walks and stop-bys. I have experience with staying in many different homes and I know that every animal has its own unique routines, needs and rituals that help it feel in flow. I'm very happy to work with your pet in the way they are used to.
“Richard was great! He was friendly, professional and an excellent communicator. My cats loved him and he sent cute photos of their time together. I recommend Richard as a sitter!”
“Cameron was wonderful with our cats Wally and Oreo. He sent fun photos everyday and even our shy cat seemed comfy with him. It’s nice to go out of town and know everyone will be taken care of.”
“Shelly was great and I came home to a very happy cat! My sitter plans fell through at the last minute, so I messaged Shelly asking if she could come over for a meet and greet the same night so she could start visiting my cat beginning the following day. I was mainly concerned with my cat getting enough human interaction while I was away. Shelly responded right away and was very prompt for our meeting. She was friendly and my cat felt comfortable w her right away. Shelly visited my cat for the 4 days I was away and I came home to a very happy and content cat. I'll be booking with her again:)”
“Adam was a great pet sitter for our cat, Smokey. We will definitely try to use him for future trips. He clearly loves pets and he is an excellent communicator and we love the pictures that he sent”

“Our dog Zella took to Bobby right away. When we dropped her off for daycare she barely looked back before heading off with Bobby and she came home from her adventures exhausted and happy. Bobby has been so communicative and on top of things. Really appreciate that he reviewed our care notes before our meet and greet. This has been an awesome experience, we will definitely book with Bobby again!!”
“Caitlin and Chris took such great care of Ellie, and they provided just the right number of updates/photos so we never had to worry or wonder how she was doing in their care. They were attentive to her needs and paid attention to our care instructions. Ellie came home a happily tired out pup after her day playing and cuddling with them!”
“Jeff and Beth were great! They helped us out by scheduling a meet and greet on short notice and subsequently took excellent care of our new pup. They communicated clearly and frequently; shared a ton of photos; and provided our pup with plenty of time outside and on the trails. We will certainly have Jeff and Beth take care of our dog again and highly recommend them.”
“I feel so lucky to have found Daniela! My dog is almost 13 and he loves seeing her and is always calm and well taken care of when I pick him up. Daniela communicates clearly, sends updates and pictures, and I feel her sincere care for my pup.”
“Kelly was amazing! She is so thorough in getting to know both the dog and owner at the meet and greet. She put our shy dog at ease immediately, and our dog was very comfortable during her first daycare day. Thank you, Kelly!”
About: As a dedicated and experienced pet sitter, I am passionate about providing the best care possible for all types of pups. As a specialized pet sitter for bully breeds and small dogs, I understand the unique needs and quirks of these adorable dogs. With years of experience and a deep love for all things pup, I am committed to providing the highest level of care and attention to your furry friend. Everything from numerous short walks and playtime (temperature permitting) to feeding and medication administration, you can trust me to provide reliable and compassionate care for your dog. I am dedicated to ensuring your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you're away. My home has ramps to access all furniture and gates to prevent pups from running up and down stairs to protect their spines and potential IVDD flare ups. Our morning starts off with a walk around the neighborhood, then it’s breakfast time which means training and play with positive reinforcement! Your pup then has playtime with toys and with my dog Penelope if they are up for it or can snooze away. We then take a quick walk during lunch to stretch our legs and say hi to our friends at Rocky’s. After work we love to be in nature and hit the trails or parks to get some steps in! After dinner I love nothing more than to cuddle with the pups on my couch before bed! We have an outdoor deck that the dogs always have access to. Mostly serves as a sunbathing lounge 😎. The deck is also equipped with grass patches for easy potty breaks. Your pup with have the company of my dog, Penelope. She is a playful and well behaved French bulldog. I have a robust routine for her to keep her healthy and prevent her from being affected from her predisposed IVDD. I can easily incorporate any special needs or request that your day may need.
“Sarah was amazing! Very kind and communicative. My 10 year old Australian Shepherd was comfortable and at ease with her and in her home. Very glad to have booked with her!”
“It’s always hard for me to leave Lulu when I have to go on a trip but having Valerie to be so mindful and loving present with lulu has made me feel safe and content that lulu is in the best of hands. I will always be requesting Valerie!”
“Alejandra is a fantastic sitter! We picked up our little girl happy and jolly after a day with her. I cannot thank her and her husband enough ❤️ she sent constant photos ,videos and updates throughout the day. Also, their puppy Nemo is adorable and so very friendly. If you want to have piece of mind about your dog knowing they'll be safe while having a great time, Alejandra is your sitter!”
“Fadi was great with Benji. He sent regular updates and photos, and Benji seemed happy and relaxed throughout. We felt very comfortable leaving Benji in his care and highly recommend him.”
“I chose Patrick to request a Meet & Greet because I liked what he said in his profile, he keeps a clean house and a clean dog! When my daughter & I met him and his cute little doggie, Sophie, in person, we felt really good about our choice. Patrick is very is easy to communicate with, he is on top of things, and just a nice guy. Sophie is perfect for our little 5 month old CockaPoo - very mellow and gentle. Patrick is also really great about helping us train our pup. I appreciate the pictures he sends so I can see how Cookie is doing. I look forward to future bookings with Patrick & Sophie.”
“Angela was an awesome sitter for Remy and took great care of him over two days. She was flexible with my schedule and communicated throughout the day with updates and pictures. Remy got excited when we pulled up to her house on the second day. He knew he was in for a fun day! I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.”
About: I had a dog for 15 years and while we are holding out on getting a new one for a few years till we stop traveling so much, we would love to hang with yours periodically when in town! We have a fenced in yard to throw a ball in (and a six and nine year old who never tire in doing so) and love taking walks to all the local Piedmont parks with a pup. My husband is mildly allergic, so unfortunately only able to take in non shedding, hypoallergenic poodle type mixes. And of course dogs need to be kid friendly, but my kiddoes are very sweet and gentle with dogs and will give the dogs lots of pets and affection in return. My husband and I both predominately work from home so there's always someone around to love on a furry friend or take a break to get outside for a walk. I predominately work from home and I love frequent walks with a pup. We live close to many Piedmont parks which is a great place to go and visit other dogs or just explore some new grounds. I have a fenced yard and loving older gentle children who adore pets. I can crate your dog if desired to sleep, but also have an 8 year old that would be very happy to snuggle if preferred. You can trust that we will care for your pups as if they are our very own family dog for the duration of their stay.
“Ashley helped us out in a pinch and exceeded our expectations! She cared for our dog and quickly helped acclimate our anxious dog. We’ll definitely be asking Ashley for services in the future! Thanks for loving our pup like your own :)”

“And all around beautiful girl. Very well-versed in every possible situation that could arise, from a super hot day, to passing by a reactive dog Tucker anticipated his walk with her every time with a bark and wiggly butt!”
“Jen is super communicative whether it’s regarding coordinating logistics or sharing updates about our dog, Bento. It really just helps put our minds at ease especially when we’re traveling. Highly recommend!”

I can pop by your house, go on walks, or keep your pet company at home. I am looking forward to taking care of your pet! I will make sure that your pet feels comfortable with me in their home and spend time playing with them or simply keeping them company. I will also love to go on long walks with your dog if requested!
“Isabella is a very responsible and caring dog person. She has been caring for my pup for 7 months in a variety of ways: day/evening care, walks, and house sitting. What has impressed me most is her ability to build a bond with my people-shy and anxious pup. She is patient and kind, speaks to him in a thoughtful way and shows genuine concern for his well-being. Other skills and traits that Isabella possesses: -reliable and consistent communicator sending updates and reaching out when she has questions -flexibility with regards to scheduling, if need be, she makes adjustments -conscientious in administering my dogs meds and feeding him treats and special food -safety and privacy is top of mind with Isabella and she follows house rules and special med instructions in caring for my dog Last but not least, I have no reservations when going away because I know she will take good care of my home. I highly recommend Isabella to care for anyone's pet, they will love her!”
“Extremely reliable, was able to make a last minute time change. Barkerini seemed very comfortable with her, and now greets her at the door. Jena is going to be a big help when I need to be gone for the day ;-)”
“Sophie has been amazing with my girl Rosie as she adjusts to city life. She has made a huge impact on keeping her calm and helping keep her active by giving her good exercise and working with to stay calm and focused while encountering squirrels, other dogs and loud noises on their walks. I have noticed such a change due to Sophie's interventions. Sophie is prompt, communicative and kind. A one of a kind! Rosie adores her!”
About: Attentive, attuned and respectful of different animals’ needs and personalities. Flexible schedule with own transportation. Proud mom to two senior pups and a tuxedo cat. Experience house sitting, dog walking, and kitty care dating back to college days, but taking advantage of a newly flexible schedule to connect with more animals after years of corporate work! My days are currently flexible outside of my daily morning yoga practice and splitting my own pet care with my partner, which currently includes a 30 minute lunchtime walk of my own pups. Open to working with your schedule. I understand that each pet’s and home’s needs are different. Let’s talk about what you need that can make this partnership mutually beneficial.
About: Since 2011, I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all kinds...puppies to seniors, from Pomeranians to Labradors, and even the occasional Siamese cat. I truly enjoy being around animals and offer dog walking, pet sitting and dog boarding because I genuinely love their company. I share my home with Lola, a large, goofy, and very friendly pup who gets along with everyone—humans and dogs alike. As a result, I’m only able to board dogs who are also dog-friendly. I am also available for drop in visits (dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, and more...no snakes tho. I work from home so I am available for boarding and drop-in visits any day as long as I received advance notice, otherwise I am pretty flexible. My home is your dog home while you are away. It is dog proof, with no sharp corners, many rugs, and use of gates to limit room access when needed, I live in the neighborhood of Montclair in Oakland, a house with a garden and surrounded by nature.
About: I want to spend more time outdoors on walks and get to know the people and pets around me! I am able to go on multiple walks and run daily. I have a lot of experience with pets personally and professionally and am comfortable helping to training dogs, providing medications to pets, and following detailed instructions. I am not working during my winter break and have lots of time to play and spend time with York pets. I’m happy to chat on your specific needs and work together to find a schedule that fits you and your pets! I care for pets by monitoring their behavior, food and water levels, and yard/litter box. I spend quality time with your pet so they get enough attention and play time in.
About: I grew up with a dog that I was responsible for from a young age until my late teens. Today, I am the go-to dog care person for family and friends. I love animals but especially dogs so I decided to try expanding my skills here on Rover. I have experience helping dogs who are injured and need medicine, active, semi-active, and mellow dogs too! My current schedule offers flexibility throughout the weekdays and most weekends, which helps me balance and accommodate dog owners' various schedules/needs throughout the entire week. At your home, I am a responsible and conscientous person, who treats someone's home with care. I am adaptable to different home environments. The main thing for me is feeling safe in the home and cleanliness -:) and that the dog is comfortable.

“Whitney is extremely patient & professional. My dog is not an easy going pup he’s a bit of a grumpy old fuss pot. She communicates & asks for advice, I cannot stress enough how patient Whitney is. I felt she really tired to understand him & work with us. She is a great walker who goes above & beyond!!”
“Tim provided wonderful care for my puppy during a difficult time. They understood her needs, communicated clearly, were really respectful of my home. I noticed that they remembered specific concerns I had made sure to keep those im mind. I also appreciated the thoughtful pictures they sent and their intentionality in the details they provided about how the care went and how much puppy was doing. Thank you, Tim!”
“Adam is a wonderful pet carer and our shy rescue pup immediately warmed up to him. He has a great, calming, positive energy and is completely trustworthy. As soon as I met him, I knew Chami would be in good hands. He's very punctual, always bang on time to walk our dog and responsive with messaging and photo updates. I would 100% recommend him!”

From the moment I dropped off Louie and met them, I could tell he was going to be completely comfortable, well-cared for, and loved for the duration of his 10 day stay with their family. Receiving a photo or two of Louie each day was amazing and it was heartwarming to see Louie so happy getting lots of snuggles, playtime with his toys, neighborhood walks, and peaceful naps at their feet.

“Chad was an excellent host. He has a welcoming house and yard. He keeps the number of dogs small so it's manageable for all involved. I got daily updates from him including pictures. Would recommend.”
“Nasreddine has been a really great sitter for Rosco. Her place is like his home away from home where she hangs out with him, takes him on walks and even lets him snuggle with blankets. Even when Rosco began anxiety marking around her home, she was reassuring and understanding while being very communicative. Highly recommend.”
