“5 stars for our experience with Mariola. She’s super communicative, so friendly and warm, and I know made it feel like a 2nd home for our dog! She offered helpful tips after observing his behavior for a few days. Her updates brought me so much joy each day. If we go away for an extended vacation again, I know exactly who to bring him to!”
“Marlene was wonderful! She was very responsive, kind, and reliable. We met before, so she could be introduced to and ask questions about Birdy. She has a great home environment, and I definitely felt like my pup was in great hands. I would be more than happy to work with Marlene again (as would Birdy!)”
“Dylan and his wife took amazing care of my sweet dog, Lulu. They went way, way above and beyond when I was in a bind and she needed extra care. They were thoughtful, responsive, and so kind. I recommend them to everyone I know that needs dog care!!!”
“As a former Rover host myself, I so greatly appreciate Rob for giving such loving and active care to our pooch and for his excellent communication with the humans. He will be the first person we go to any time we leave town and can't take Ozzy.”
“Robert was absolutely wonderful with our girl Phoebe on her first overnight! We were a bit apprehensive as Phoebe has separation anxiety but she was happily occupied with multiple walks and so much love! Robert's level of conscientiousness is unmatched and we completely entrust him with Phoebe's health and safety, including keeping her away from other dogs so her reactiveness isn't triggered. We couldn't ask for more!”
“Truly such a great experience for my dog. Stephanie was so nice and flexible with my schedule. I needed a last min booking and Stephanie truly went above and beyond to help accommodate and give my dog a great time. She exposed my pup to some new activities, like bike riding, which he loved!! It was also my pups birthday when she took care of him and she even gave him a little homemade peanut butter lick mat to celebrate. You won’t regret booking with Stephanie if you’re looking for someone to treat your pup like her own! :)”
About: I’m a full time artist and WFH sitter with over 15 years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages including Puppies, seniors, special needs pets, and sensitive personalities. I live a calm and quiet lifestyle with my senior corgi, Mochi, and my sweet, dog friendly cat, Mumu. Because I’m home most of the day, your pet will get steady attention, a peaceful environment, and care that never feels rushed. My dog Mochi is 10 and has had many health issues, including back leg mobility problems. Caring for her has given me strong experience with senior dogs, medication schedules, mobility support, slow routines, anxious pets and even stroller walks. I grew up with many pets, so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. I’ve experienced a negligent sitter in the past whose carelessness sent my dog to the hospital. Because of that I take this work extremely seriously. I’m attentive, detail oriented, cautious and I never take shortcuts especially with older or delicate pets. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. Because I’m an artist I’ll sometimes doodle a small portrait of your pet if time allows, just a little gift for you. A little about why I joined Rover: I recently moved into a larger space which has allowed me to comfortably host more pets. I also decided to start pet sitting as a way to help offset the rising costs of my senior dog’s insurance. It’s important to me that I can continue providing the best care for her and Rover lets me do that while offering attentive, reliable care to other pets as well. I WFH so I’m home most of the day. Pet care fits naturally into my routine I already have a senior dog with daily feeding, meds so I’m used to gentle and structured care throughout the day. I take breaks to give pets attention, walks, playtime and lots of calm company. Your pet would be part of my daily rhythm not an afterthought I maintain a calm and supervised home where safety comes first. Pets get slow introductions and secure spaces and constant oversight since I work from home. My corgi is crate-trained and my cat has high-ground access so everyone has their own safe zones. I follow your schedule exactly : feeding, walks, meds, and activities so your pet stays on their normal routine. They’ll have a safe comfortable place to play or nap all day and can sleep with me at night if they'd like to. Diet & Feeding I follow your pet’s exact feeding schedule and portion sizes to keep everything consistent. I always make sure pets stay hydrated, especially in warmer weather. I feed my dog and guest dogs separately to avoid any food guarding or stress during mealtimes. Hygiene & Cleanliness I keep pets clean and comfortable throughout the day : wiping paws if needed, cleaning eye discharge and keeping their space tidy. I’m very detailoriented about maintaining a clean safe environment. Walk Safety All dogs are leashed outdoors at all times. I stay alert around other dogs separate pets immediately if there are signs of stress or tension and prevent ground eating or unsafe sniffing areas. I’m always attentive and I clean up after them every time. Sleeping Arrangements My own dog prefers her own bed and doesn’t sleep with me but your dog is welcome to sleep wherever they feel comfortable whether that’s in their own bed, the crate or in the bed with me for extra comfort. I make sure every pet has a safe cozy sleeping setup.
“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!”
“I cannot recommend Danielle enough! She was the perfect dog sitter for Nova while I was away on my bachelorette trip. Danielle went above and beyond to care for Nova, keeping me updated daily and even surprising her with a lovely dog vest. Not only did she pamper Nova, but she also gave her a bath, leaving Nova smelling amazing and with soft, fluffy fur. I truly appreciate Danielle's exceptional care and attention to detail. I would rate her 10/10 and wholeheartedly recommend her services to anyone in need of a reliable and caring pet sitter!”
“Luna had a great time! She was able to go in and outside as she pleased, and they took her on long walks and out to play. They sent regular updates and I was so glad to leave our pup with someone who gave her so much love and attention.”
“Nasreddine was a reliable and loving caregiver to Ernie! I loved the many photo updates she sent me, and it was clear he was happy and cozy while we were away. I recommend Nasreddine and would definitely work with her again!”
“Could not have asked for a better accommodation and care for my pooch! Patrick communicated and provided updates and photos daily and I could see that my dog was well-cared for and loved. I would definitely recommend him to all other pet parents! Thank you, Pat!”
“Lily and Roo had a great time last weekend with Eiko and her family! They got tons of love and were well taken care of. Thanks Eiko for everything - I’m sure the pups are looking forward to the next visit!”
“Angela did a wonderful job caring for my senior pup! She is kind and attentive and made sure that Elsie had a great stay. I would book with her again when the opportunity presents!”
“Very responsive and gave me lots of updates about how my dog was doing during his boarding stay. My dog came home happy as can be and looks very well cared for and based on the pictures had an awesome time with Alexis.”
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.

“Jasmine did a great job dropping in on my cat, Chili for 5 nights. She was very communicative and attentive to my cat, giving playtime, feeding, and taking care of the litterbox. I will happily request her for future drop ins!”
“Yen is sooo sweet!! She took care of my 2 feline boys (2 yrs old and 14 yrs old) and they both love her!! Not only does she follow routine, she goes the extra mile to see what the boys need and make sure they’re comfortable 🥰 her pics are super cute too and I always look forward to the daily Rover report cards when I was on vacation hehe. I can’t wait to use her service again!”
“Heather sent regular texts, photos and videos of my cat, l who was clearly very comfortable and happy. A fantastic pet sitter. Would absolutely recommend leaving your furry children with Heather for piece of mind while away!”
“Yena did a wonderful job caring for my kitties. She gave the friendlier one lots of play time and observed the spicy one lovingly, giving him the leeway to come near her on his own instead of keeping to his usual post guarding the bedroom. She sent many sweet updates as well. I would be happy to have her tend to my cats again for sure.”
“Veronica was my first Rover and I cannot ask for a better first Rover experience! She took great care of my cats at my house. She was communicative and accommodating, which was reassuring. I recommend Veronica and will work with her again.”
“I have one pretty social cat and one very, very shy one. Samantha gained the shy one's trust quicker than any one I've ever seen! Truly a cat whisperer 😸 I also appreciated the cute photos and updates! 💖”
“Tia was fabulous! Great communication and paid attention to all of my (perhaps gratuitous at times) instructions. My cat is often shy with folks but seemed to warm up to her almost immediately, which— I think— speaks volumes.”
About: Hi! I’m Kyle, a reliable and attentive pet sitter based in Emeryville. I’ve always been comfortable around animals and understand that every pet has their own personality, routines, and needs. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a quiet companion, I focus on making them feel safe, relaxed, and cared for while you’re away. I’m happy to follow detailed care instructions and keep you updated with messages and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. Services I offer include walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime, medication if needed, and overnight care depending on availability. My goal is simple: make sure your pet feels comfortable and your mind feels at ease while you’re away.
“Jes is super easy to communicate with and clearly has a passion for what he does! He was super experienced and thorough, asking clarifying questions and making sure nothing about my cat’s care was missed. Thanks so much, Jes! I’ll be looking forward to booking again in the future.”
“Autumn took care of our kitty for a week and was so great! She is super communicative and responsive. My normally very shy kitty was crawling all over her within seconds of her arrival so she is clearly great with animals. Will definitely book again in the future”
“Definitely recommend Lia for folks who have kitties that need a safe space while traveling/away from home. Communication was easy & I appreciated the pictures she sent. Although the stay was very brief, she still got my shy kitty out from hiding to enjoy treats. :) Thanks again!!”
“Went above and beyond taking care of my two cats! I felt so comfortable (and happy!) with the care she gave them between lots of extra love, fixing the litter robot (thanks again! lol), and great reports that let me know everything going on with them. Will definitely have her help watch them again for me!”
“This is the 3rd time Iris looked after my boys and they were a pleasure to work with per usual! I highly recommend Iris! They are responsible, thorough and a delight to communicate with!”
“Madeline was a total delight and was so great to work with! We were able to meet ahead of time to go through details of what our kitties needed. Madeline was prompt, professional, and communicative thought the time we were gone. We got lots of updates and photos, and everything was in great condition when we got back. Our cats seemed very happy. We are so appreciative of Madeline’s care and will definitely rebook in the future!”
“William was great and easy to work with. I'm new to Rover and appreciate that he was willing to do a meet and greet before I left my little buddy in his care. He (and his kids helped) took great care of Gregory, and he was very communicative and sent a ton of photos.”
About: I grew up with cats and have a cat of my own now! I am familiar with cats of all different breeds, ages, and sizes. Additionally, I have experience with cats who have diabetes, need medications, or have vision and or hearing loss.
“Cassandra took great, attentive care of my cats while we were gone, getting to know their individual personalities and what they liked in a short period of time. Highly recommend!”
About: *Lady K's Doggie Lounge* I'm a fulltime doggie daycare and boarding provider. *I never leave pups unattended* Animals have always been a part of my family and lifestyle. In addition to dogs, cats, and birds, I've been a parent to rabbits, hamsters, livestock and reptiles. I'm also a mother of two over the age of 35. I'm the go-to person for the care of their dogs, as well for other members of my family's pets when they are in town. I have a 13 year old Corgi/Jack Russell mix, (Sir Prince) that loves meeting new friends. So while in my care, your baby will have my constant attention, and personalized detailed care, as if he or she were my own. I also believe in providing my clients a peace of mind while away from their bundles of joy. I know how stressful it can sometimes be. You are welcome to bring a Kennel for your furbaby if they are use to using one. In my experience, they are helpful during feeding times and when personal space is needed. Sometimes they provide a bit more comfort to them when in an unfamiliar place. But for the most part, all pups have the freedom to roam as they wish. My specialty is in-house pet care, but taking the babies for walks is always possible. I provide homestyle daycare and boarding 24/7. Pups will never be left unattended. Lady K's Doggie Lounge and my clients are top priority for me. I offer a calm, free to roam environment. Kennels are only used for feedings and sleeping if needed. I can and will maintain your pets current schedule/ routine if necessary.

“This is our second time booking doggy day care with Danielle and her dog Nala. Danielle does a great job. She keeps our dog safe and well entertained. We appreciate her updates of messages and photos throughout the day. Looking forward to the next time.”
“Latricia was great! My dog can be a bit difficult with new people, but Latricia was patient and understanding. She kept me updated with pictures throughout the day, too, so I had peace of mind.”
About: Berkeley Humane Society and Oakland Animal Services volunteer, trained with dogs of all temperaments. I also dog sit for family and friends, and love building trust and keeping routines consistent. I focus on quality walks, not quick outings. When appropriate, I take dogs to East Bay spots like Point Isabel, Albany Bulb and Berkeley Marina for space and stimulation. For drop-ins, your dog will get lots of attention, movement and care. I walk my dogs daily, often on longer outings. I adjust pace and distance based on your dog’s needs. Dog care is my priority right now. I’m available mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I have flexibility and I can accommodate longer walks or extended visits I prioritize safety at all times. Dogs will always be on-leash and handled either full attention and control. I stick to your instructions and keep routines consistent
“Dylan and his family were amazing! Pancho enjoyed spending time with other pups. Something that as an only child he doesn’t get to do very often. Pancho was a bit constipated at the time of drop off and Dylan kept me in the loop and tracked any updates. I also received many photos and even a video of Panchitos adventures.”
“My sweet puppy was warmly welcomed by Emily and her 2 daughters. Emily has a dog who got along beautifully with my puppy! When I picked up my pup she was happy to have had such good care. Emily sent me pictures of the two dogs. She communicated well with me both in person and by text. I will most definitely ask her again to watch my pup!”
“Taylor is fantastic. I was in town for work with my wee guy and she took care of him during the times I couldn't have him with me. Rowlf and Taylor made a fast friends. They played and walked and cuddled, she took tons of pics and kept me up to date about their time together, and really supported me while I was working. I'm so grateful I found her. Taylor is super friendly, thorough, and loving. It can be so hard for all of us to trust the care of our babies to a stranger. You can't go wrong here!”
About: Hello! My name is Hyesuk, and I am a reliable and caring dog sitter who truly enjoys spending time with animals. I understand that every dog has a unique personality, routine, and needs.

I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes and temperaments, and I always prioritize their safety and well-being. I am attentive to feeding schedules, medication needs, exercise routines, and any special instructions you provide. I treat every dog as if they were my own and strive to provide a positive, stress-free experience for both pets and their owners. I look forward to meeting you and your beloved companion!

Your dog is welcome to sleep on our bed with me as well, if that is something you allow at home.
“Loved all the photos!! Matthew and Van Joseph were so patient and caring with my nervous gal. It was obvious that Ramona felt comfortable there - she’s been super leash reluctant, but they got her to go on 2 walks during daycare!! Huge success. They were super communicative and great. Can’t wait to bring Ramona back and watch her settle in even more :)”
“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!”
“Couldn’t be more grateful and happy with Simone taking great care of our baby pup. I loved how she was very thoughtful going out of her way to go to the pet store to get treats for Nyla since I forgot to pack some. Nyla looked like she was having fun and had a great time from the pictures and video updates from Simone. So glad I chose her to watch Nyla. Will definitely rebook her whenever we need someone to watch and take care of our puppy. 🤎”
“Vito loooves Mariola and Lux! He had a great time staying there for the day. Mariola is attentive and patient and provides a safe and relaxed environment. We will definitely have Vito stay with her again.”
“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!”
About: Although I don’t currently own a dog, I have hands-on experience caring for them through dog sitting. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playing, and keeping to a routine, and I make sure each dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their owner is away. Either myself or my wife will be available during the week to provide dog-sitting service. But we are both available on weekends, since we aren't working then. I provide a safe place for dogs to relax. I let the dog explore my home first, so they feel more comfortable and allow them to ease their way into their unfamiliar environment. They are allowed on the furniture and bed (unless owner states otherwise).

“Jes is amazing! Takes great care of my pup and is so professional and nice to work with. Jes is also a very talented photographer and sends wonderful pictures of my dog Sassy. Thanks Jes!”
“Oakley has improved SO much since she’s been walking with Zosha. She is incredible and understands dog behaviors/body language. She always knows when Oakley needs a slow walk, long play session, or exciting adventures.”
“Erika is an excellent human being and fine dog walker. She shows up on time and gives my little dog the exercise she needs. She is sensitive to Annie's quirks. I completely trust her and feel very fortunate to have Erika helping me with my pup.”
“David was such a fantastic walker for our dog Nico- he came to do a practice walk beforehand and was super thorough, making sure he had all the info he needed from us. David was always communicative and punctual, and clearly took great care of Nico. Highly recommend!”
“Erik is so great with my dogs! He’s very patient and is able to handle both of them even though they have different walking temperaments- One wants to stop and sniff everything and the other wants to run😁”
About: Hello, my name is Heather. I’m an Oakland based animal care giver & artist. Offering dog walking, pet sitting, and overnight care. I’m most experienced with cats, dogs, ferrets and bunnies, but have a love for all in the animal kingdom. I once trained a fighting pit bull into a licensed assistance dog. It was exhausting but so fulfilling! I like to spend my free time creating art, walking the beach and hiking. Does your lonely pet enjoy this type of environment? Let’s meet up! I can’t wait to meet you & your furry friend 🐾 As a freelance artist, I enjoy a flexible schedule that allows me to provide attentive, dependable pet care with plenty of time for walks, play, and companionship. Your pets deserve safe, loving, and reliable care. 5 Star care- attentive, and trustworthy, I provide peace of mind while keeping your furry family happy, secure, and comfortable.
About: Hi! My name is Stephanie and I have been pet sitting for over 15 years. My love of animals has led me to initially start looking after family and friend's critters to wanting to help others as a way to care for their pets when they're busy or unable to. I have cared for both cats, dogs, even a pig, ranging from young to old. Currently, I provide daily check-ins to see how pets are doing. I also provide walks and play time so they get some engagement and aren't lonely while their owners are away on business or vacation or just busy with work. If you are looking for someone to help you with a walk, a check-in, or play time, please don't hesitate to contact me! I'm currently funemployed so my schedule is extremely flexible. For drop-ins, I drop in once in the morning at 8:30am and/or again in the evening at 6:30pm. For walks, they would be during middle of the day at around 1pm. Prior to an service, I try to communicate with pet owners about anything I should know. I prefer to over communicate to make sure everyone is on the same page and that I have everything I need to make every visit, stay, or walk successful. When visiting a client's home, I allow pets to come up to me first so they can get acquainted with me. I don't force interaction since that can break down trust. If any of the pets have soiled or damaged anything on the property, I'd document it, send it to the client, then clean up any mess. Whether I'm staying at someone's house or doing drop-ins, I give each pet lots of love and attention in the form of pets, belly rubs, and playing games with them. If they are skittish, I tend to let them approach me when they feel comfortable.
“Becca is awesome! Super communicative, and Stella adores her! Two thumbs way up, all the high fives! It’s been wonderful and a major peace of mind having Becca around and knowing my pup is well taken care of :)”
About: I've spent many years dog sitting and have a special place in my heart for reactive pups, seniors, and dogs with sensitive diets. I'm calm, patient, and attentive to each dog's unique needs. I'm happy to prepare special meals if your pup has dietary restrictions! While I do not have a large yard, I make sure dogs get plenty of outdoor fun walks, enrichment, and lots of love and attention. Your dog will be treated como familia while you're away. I currently work a hybrid schedule, so I have plenty of time for walks and activities throughout the day. If left alone, it is for no more than 4 hours. I'm available for weekend boarding and offer free pickup and drop-off. Your dog will be cared for in a calm, cozy one-bedroom apartment where they will be closely supervised and given plenty of attention. I intentionally keep a low-stress environment, and there are currently no other pets in the home, which can be especially helpful for reactive or older dogs who do best with quiet spaces. We're also located near green spaces, so your pup will enjoy regular outdoor walks, fresh air, and enrichment while staying safe and comfortable indoors.
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have a few years of experience helping take care of them. I’ve helped friends, neighbors, and family with walking, feeding, and general care. I’m responsible, patient, and pay attention to each pet’s needs and routine. I make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m available anytime on weekends and from noon to 3pm Monday through Friday. I have a consistent schedule and am very reliable during these times. I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment for pets. I will follow your pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, and any specific instructions you provide. I make sure your pet feels comfortable and well cared for while always keeping the area clean and secure. I’m respectful of your space and will communicate with updates if needed.
“Yen Ning was able to work with me on short notice to walk my bigger dog, who can be reactive. She was able to handle my loud dogs and provide really great updates! Communication is really great and I will definitely continue using her services!”
About: I've grown up with big dogs and am now a dog and cat mom. Before my dog I boarded friends' dogs with me, watching them while they were away. My big dog is from the shelter and is fearful, so I have experience with shy shelter dogs, training, and managing their triggers. I also walk others' dogs. My schedule is flexible and is different depending on the day of the week. Communication is key , but I will try to make things work. At clients' homes I will follow their instructions and communicate any questions. I make sure the doors are locked when I leave, and try to be careful entering so animals don't potentially run away. Depending on instructions or pet temperaments, I will observe and work with them for enrichment and socialization needs. I make sure there is enough water in the bowls and feed as needed. For cats, I clean the litterboxes. They will not be in my home since I have pets.
“Laura came through for my last minute request for a same day dog walker and was wonderful with my senior anxious pup. She clearly understands dog behavior especially those with specific needs around anxiety and fearfulness. It felt great to receive pics of my dog Ollie happy on her walk and get a detailed update from Laura - so reassuring for dog parents of anxious pups!”
“Andrew is a phenomenal walker! He’s responsible, a great communicator, and he is very thoughtful about my pup’s care. Having volunteered in some similar settings to Andrew, I would trust him to handle all sorts of dog temperaments and scenarios - there really is no training like city shelter experience. I am very happy working with Andrew and would recommend him heartily to anyone!”
About: As a lifelong animal lover, I'm here to give you a seamless and easy pet sitting experience, caring for your babies as if they were my own. I've cared for all sorts of dog combinations, from solo to four at a time, healthy to healthyish to in the middle of a ruff time & managing all the special care, vet visits, and medications that come with it. I'm newer to cats, but adept in picking up on their cues and keeping up with all the many details passed along when pet parents put their babies in my care! As far as care & training philosophy, I believe only in a positive reinforcement environment and follow the owner's cues to make sure your babies are as comfortable with me as with you, without adding any confusion! In my professional career, I am a data and details person, skilled in managing spreadsheets and projects with all sorts of details, and I bring that detailed care to everything I do, including monitoring all aspects of your pet(s)' safe and loving care with me 💕 Flexible and adaptable schedule to your needs, as I live by myself and am currently in between jobs focusing on personal entrepreneurial projects. Based in Oakland, I have a car and am frequently traveling around the Bay Area, especially into SF and the Lamorinda area. You are the expert of your space and pets, and I take cues and direction from you to ensure every aspect of your pet(s)' care is accounted for (also have spent the last 7 years working in accounting!). My time with your pet(s) should feel as comfortable as if a trusted family member or friend is watching your babies, with all the extra love and attention you like to provide, including whatever recreation keeps your pet(s) happy. At a baseline, I ensure all the important needs and details are managed as if you were around, with as-frequent updates as you need to feel comfortable and connected while you are away. I'm a skilled communicator and multitasker (taking pics while walking multiple dogs) and happy to provide whatever silly/cute/direct updates of your pet(s)' care work for you.
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them genuinely makes me happy. I’ve spent years looking after dogs for friends, family, and neighbors, helping with walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and lots of love and attention. I enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. Whether your pet loves long walks, playing fetch, or just relaxing with company, I’m here to make their day fun and stress-free. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel completely comfortable while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets the attention they deserve. Whether your dog needs a morning walk, an afternoon potty break, or an evening stroll, I’m committed to being reliable, punctual, and making sure they get plenty of exercise, playtime, and care. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and needs so they feel secure and stress-free. During walks, I stay alert to surroundings, use secure leashes and harnesses, and provide plenty of water and breaks when needed. You can trust that your pet will be treated with patience, kindness, and the same care I would give my own.

“As a former Rover host myself, I so greatly appreciate Rob for giving such loving and active care to our pooch and for his excellent communication with the humans. He will be the first person we go to any time we leave town and can't take Ozzy.”
“Robert was absolutely wonderful with our girl Phoebe on her first overnight! We were a bit apprehensive as Phoebe has separation anxiety but she was happily occupied with multiple walks and so much love! Robert's level of conscientiousness is unmatched and we completely entrust him with Phoebe's health and safety, including keeping her away from other dogs so her reactiveness isn't triggered. We couldn't ask for more!”
“Truly such a great experience for my dog. Stephanie was so nice and flexible with my schedule. I needed a last min booking and Stephanie truly went above and beyond to help accommodate and give my dog a great time. She exposed my pup to some new activities, like bike riding, which he loved!! It was also my pups birthday when she took care of him and she even gave him a little homemade peanut butter lick mat to celebrate. You won’t regret booking with Stephanie if you’re looking for someone to treat your pup like her own! :)”
“Luna had a great time! She was able to go in and outside as she pleased, and they took her on long walks and out to play. They sent regular updates and I was so glad to leave our pup with someone who gave her so much love and attention.”
“Nasreddine was a reliable and loving caregiver to Ernie! I loved the many photo updates she sent me, and it was clear he was happy and cozy while we were away. I recommend Nasreddine and would definitely work with her again!”
“Angela did a wonderful job caring for my senior pup! She is kind and attentive and made sure that Elsie had a great stay. I would book with her again when the opportunity presents!”
“Very responsive and gave me lots of updates about how my dog was doing during his boarding stay. My dog came home happy as can be and looks very well cared for and based on the pictures had an awesome time with Alexis.”
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.
“Joann was great! She took us on with really late notice, sent updates of our cute sleepy dog, and our pup came home super happy. Would work with Joann again in the future!”
About: I’ve taken care of all dogs, and had an English Cream Golden Retriever named Lucy growing up. I trained her as a puppy and cared for her all the way into senior care. I’m great with all pet ages, don’t mind washing/cleaning your pet, giving long walks, or anything else your pet loves to do. I will always make sure your pet has the best time when they’re with me! Pet care is best for me from Thursdays - Sundays, as well as holidays. I work full time in person, but get half days on Fridays. I make sure to write down everything about the dog. Eating schedule, bathroom schedule, etc. Recently, I just set up a camera for the dog I just dogsat to make sure nothing is going wrong. I clean the dog’s paws to ensure that they aren’t dirtying the home. I also vacuum and wipe down once a day. I would love to meet you and your pet!
“Liubov is great with taking care of my dog, who is pretty anxious in new spaces with new people. She does a wonderful job of making my dog feel calm and comfortable. Liubov also sends me regular updates of photos and videos of my dog and is so communicative of how my dog is doing overall. Anyone would be lucky to have her as a sitter for their pet!”
About: I’ve grown up with cats and kittens my whole life and continued adopting them as an adult — animals have always been at the heart of my home! I’ve raised and trained a puppy from 8 weeks old, cared for up to 3 medium-sized dogs at a time, and have experience housing and caring for rabbits, birds, and reptiles too. 🐶🐱🐰🦜🐸🦎 Your pet will be welcomed into a warm, loving home where they’ll be treated like family! I’m also a pet parent myself — my 1-year-old pup and 9-year-old cat are both incredibly friendly with people and other animals and absolutely love making new friends. They’re always excited to welcome new furry guests! 🐕🐈 I believe pet sitting is so much more than just filling a food bowl twice a day — it’s about being real company for your pet. Surrounded by cozy blankets, their favorite toys from home, and plenty of love, your pet will feel comfortable and right at ease from the moment they arrive. I’m happy to provide multiple daily walks and plenty of undivided attention throughout the day!
“Megan and Jenny were fantastic! They communicated multiple updates throughout the day — every day, and multiple times — with photos. They made sure Pancho was well taken care of and enjoyed a variety of activities. They were responsive, attentive, and kind. Drop-off and pick-up were efficient. Highly recommend — we’ll definitely be repeat customers.”
“Drew was great to work with and took good care of our lab, Ceci. He provided frequent pictures, videos and updates and was flexible and easy to work with. He took her on lots of walks. I would recommend!”
“Timothy and his family was absolutely an amazing rover experience. They sent daily updates and made sure he got all the love while I was away. Their dog coco was also so sweet and an amazing companion for Eddy; he loved her! Would recommend and definitely will be booking again!”
“Paul was great taking care of Jadie and sharing updates throughout the day. He was also very accommodating on a last minute change of schedule, and most importantly, Jadie was very happy and relaxed when I picked her up. I definitely recommend him!”
