“Meghan and Jenny were the absolute best! They watched our Dog Squid for nearly 3 weeks while we were in Europe and we got the cutest updates every single day. I honestly think Squid was sad to leave them to come back home. He had so much fun and was so loved. We absolutely will use them again and cannot begin to describe how comforting it is to know your pet is in a loving home while you are traveling.”
“We are so happy to find Didem! She and her husband took such great care of our dog while we were out of town. They really made her feel like part of their family for the week. We loved the updates and the photos and videos. Didem is a fantastic communicator, and is so helpful in answering our questions. We would absolutely book again with Didem- I’m pretty sure our dog didn’t want to come home at the end of our trip! Didem and her family are great dog carers, and I would recommend them to anyone in a heartbeat.”
“Ruthy was an amazing dog sitter! She was very flexible and accommodating with our last minute request, and treated our pup like one of her own. Very communicative, sent many photos and videos so we could see how much fun Wednesday was having. It made us feel a lot more relaxed on our trip. Her own two dogs, Milo and Cicero, are the sweetest—clearly very well trained and very playful. Wednesday was very exhausted and happy when we picked her up. Thanks Ruthy!”
“Thank you again Zach! Our 3rd (or 4th?) stay with Zach and he really went above and beyond this time. We got stuck in terrible traffic and got home at 1am so he agreed to watch sunny for an extra night without any issue. Thanks Zach!”
“Robyn and her family are so sweet. She was incredibly flexible when our timeline for needing care changed and worked seamlessly with our friends who dropped off Maya while we were on the other side of the country. Robyns daughter was an angel with our dog and we have already booked two more weeks of overnights with her. Thank you Robyn!”
“Rob is an excellent dog sitter. My little pup has separation anxiety and felt very at home with Rob, and eventually became their shadow. Thank you, Rob! We’ll be seeing you in the future 💜”
“Bear had a great time with Ulumna. She sent us a picture every day and we could see how happy he was. It was like he had his own vacation while we were on ours! We’re glad to have found Ulumna and hope to book her again in the future!”
“My animals are always so happy and healthy after a stay with Mariola! They definitely see it as their home away from home. I'll absolutely have them stay there, pretty much any time I leave town.”
“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!”
“Anchisa was a wonderful sitter for my dog Felix! He came home healthy and happy, she was super clear in her communication and very responsive and considerate, and sent plenty of photos. It was clear Felix was very comfortable with her and her partner and got lots of love and care from them. They were also very accommodating and conscientious about understanding his needs. I would absolutely ask her to sit for Felix again, thank you for everything!”
“Suzanne is as awesome and professional as a sitter gets! This was our second time boarding our dogs with her and we could not be happier. I love her small dog only policy and the many precautions and safeguards she has in place to ensure a safe experience for all dogs under her care. She is very communicative, organized, and sends great pics of the pups having a blast in her beautiful yard. She was especially helpful and flexible when a sick child threw our travel plans into flux at the last minute. Book with Suzanne for a fantastic experience!”
“We were SOOOOO happy to have found Kristiina! The person that usually takes care of our dog had to bail at the last minute and so we brought our little Bitsy to Kristiina’s house with very little notice. During our trip we got daily pictures of Bitsy as well as info on what she did that day and how she seemed to be doing. Kristiina was a life-saver. If we need a dog-sitter again we will definitely come back!”
“Super dog sitter! My dogs were dead tired from all the amazing hikes they were taking. :) We received lots of pictures and communication during their stay so we were sure that they were safe and sound while we were gone. Lots of happy smiles and tail wags when we came back. Would definitely book again!”
“Patricia was very kind and welcoming. She made sure that I had daily updates and sent pictures and even videos! I felt safe leaving Lola with Patricia and would definitely book again.”
“We are so grateful to [Sitter’s Name] for taking such wonderful care of our dog, Sharu, from the 16th to the 18th. Throughout Sharu’s stay, they kept us updated with plenty of photos and videos, which really gave us peace of mind and made us feel comfortable being away. From the videos, we could see how happy and relaxed Sharu was, even interacting in a friendly way with other dogs — which was such a joy to watch! Thank you again for giving Sharu such a safe, loving, and fun environment. We truly appreciate your care and would happily trust Sharu with you again in the future.”
“Patrick is a pro. He was consistently communicative, flexible, and above all caring for our dear dog. We are very happy to have met him and hope to work with him again for future dogsitting needs!”
“Rosa is an excellent dog sitter! We’ve boarded our high energy pup multiple times with her and can always rest assured that he is well cared for. She is very responsive and sends daily updates during stays. Would recommend to anyone looking for high quality dog care!”
“Chawntea is amazing! Bear was well taken care of and she sent many pictures and videos of him so I could see how much fun he was having. Definitely recommend!”
“Many thanks again to Shruti and Robyn for watching our pup and being flexible with our schedule. Gemmy can be a lot with her need for attention, but had a great time on her most recent stay.”

“Madeline must be part cat because my little fur ball is VERY shy and she took to Madeline enough on the meet and greet to come up and sniff her and be touched! I knew it was going to be fine and was able to enjoy being away with no worries. She is dependable and conscientious and all that but returning to a happy kitty is the icing on the cake!”
“Liz was wonderful! She was very communicative throughout the weekend, provided detailed updates after each visit, and shared plenty of pictures so we always knew our fur babies were doing well. We felt completely at ease knowing they were in such great hands. We would happily rebook Liz in the future and highly recommend her!”
“Melissa is a wonderful sitter! I could tell Poppy was happy when I got home. Melissa was communicative, careful, pleasant, and took lovely pictures. I would invite her to sit again any time!!”
“This was the first time Sydney dropped in on my cat Mystery for me. From the start in it was a great experience. Sydney has great energy, good communication and showed genuine care for my cat Mystery. I recieved a detailed update with pictures. I will definitely be booking her again!”
“Shelly was great! We were anxious about using a service but she met with us ahead of time and put us at ease. She followed all instructions, sent plenty of pics and we came home to well cared for cats. Will definitely reach out to her the next time we need someone!”
“Cesar was absolutely fantastic!!! He sent so many pictures and videos of my baby every visit. I will definitely be booking with Cesar and Cindy again they are trustworthy and take care of your home and your pets very well. This was my first time booking and my cat was in great hands as expected.”
“Erin was great and communicative! She clearly has experience with cats and followed all the instructions that were left for pills, feeding, litter box etc. she sent me pictures and stayed in touch with any questions or notes. I will definitely ask her to watch my fur baby in the future!”
“Anais took great care of our little kitty Mini. Mins has kidney cancer and needs an injection every night and some extra love and care. She was a happy girl when we got home. We highly recommend Anais.”
“Christine is absolutely amazing! She asked lots of questions about our kitties and went above and beyond to take care of our boys. Lots of video updates each day and she even took care of our plants! Highly recommend her to anyone who wants peace of mind while they are traveling!”
“We were so lucky Zoe accepted our last minute request to visit our cat Coyote for two days while we were away. Zoe cleaned the litter box, checked water levels, gave him wet food and his favorite treats and kept him company! Thank you, Zoe!”
“Becca did an incredible job watching my cats!! I needed someone to watch them somewhat last minute and she was super responsive. My cats can be a bit high maintenance sometimes and she was very attentive and caring with them. She gave great and prompt updates everytime she checked in and even shared some studio quality glamor shots. Overall, she was incredibly reliable and made me feel super comfortable leaving my cats in her care. If you’re looking for a cat sitter I couldn’t recommend Becca more!”
“Shanley is absolutely amazing—a true cat whisperer! This was the second time she cared for our cat, and we’ll definitely be booking with her anytime we’re away in the future. From the moment we met, I felt completely comfortable trusting her with both our cat and our home. She was always punctual, left thoughtful and detailed visit notes, and shared the best photos. Highly, highly recommend!”
“Jana was so great with our 'kids'! i/She provided updates and photos (great photographer BTW) everyday and when we returned, you could tell they were happy cats. She truly was a cat whisperer and took excellent care of them! I hate to have to recommend her, because it means I have to share her services with others.”
“Adam is always awesome. This is the third time we've used him now, and we couldn't be happier. Peace of mind when you're far away from your pet is priceless which makes his rates are quite reasonable. Thanks Adam!”
“I was nervous leaving my 16 yr old with William as she hadn’t ever been boarded before and is shy and fearful with strangers and other cats. William made time for me to come and see what accommodations for her would be like. I felt at ease after that visit as he was warm, funny and very knowledgeable about cats. He genuinely loved Nyla and cared for my old Grand Dame as though she were his own. Her special diet instructions were implanted as well. She made herself at home in a special cubby with her favorite blankets. It was obvious to me at pick up that she was relaxed and had a positive experience. Thanks, William!!”
“Robin looks after my cat Oliver when I am away. She gives me peace of mind with daily notes and pictures, and then when I get home, he seems a lot less stressed than I’ve seen with any other pet sitter I’ve used before. I will always trust Robin to look after Oliver!”

About: I am a dog walker and trainer based in Emeryville. I am currently working towards my CTC to improve my training skills. I have experience training dogs big and small in single and multi dog homes. I use positive reinforcement (usually food) in my training and do not use aversive tools for training. I love teaching all sorts of behaviors, but especially love training good manners and leash walking skills. I offer regular dog walking for enrichment and exercise as well as training walks that work on walking and public behaviors. For pet sitting: I have owned large and small dogs, cats, insects, rats, fish, and other birds. I have owned a diabetic dog who requires insulin twice a day and a cat who received pills every day for her thyroid. I have experience giving medicine both orally and via shot using positive reinforcement. I’m am currently taking classes learning to be a dog trainer, I am looking for walking clients to get more experience with all types of dogs. I have an amazing friendly dog who is a Guide Dogs for the Blind career change. He is a working service dog, so he may come to sits or on walks if it’s appropriate.
“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!”
“Didem and her husband always take great care of Zeke, and he is always excited to spend time with them. Didem is very responsive and communicative. I trust and highly recommend her!”
“Madeleine was immensely helpful in accepting our last minute early morning booking for our timid dog. She was warm and welcoming and took the time to learn our dogs needs. Looking forward to rebooking in the future - thank you!!”
“Tamara took such good care of our pup who has a lot of separation anxiety. He had so much fun playing with her dogs and came back so tired and happy. I’m sure our dog can’t wait to go back!”
“We have a really shy/sensitive mini-Aussie doodle who’s nervous around new people. Anchisa and her partner Michael were so so kind to let us visit with them before booking to “test the waters”. We were so genuinely surprised at how quickly our pup settled in! We’ve already booked for a second sitting session! Thanks so much ❤️”
“Chad took excellent care of my young and energetic greyhound with a lot of separation anxiety. When I picked her up she was happy and excited, but she didn’t show any signs of distress. Prior to my dog’s stay at his home Chad had invited us over for a meet&greet and he took a lot of time to inquire about my dog’s character and behaviors, which made me very confident that things would be alright. Chad was also willing to accommodated my travel schedule. I am happy with the experience and hope he will be available next time I have to go out of town.”
“Rosa was great with Ricky. We don’t live far and sometimes on our walks we pass by Rosa’s place and Ricky will pull and fight to try and go there. Owner and pet approved dog sitting!”
“Natalia provided my pug Mookie a fun and comfortable daycare experience! Excellent communication, providing photos and updates of Mookie’s stay. I highly recommend Natalia and would rely on her services again. Many thanks!”
“Baxter has stayed Andrea and her pups twice for daycare, with hopefully more days to come! Andrea has a gentle, kind spirit and seems very attuned to a dog's needs. At our meet & greet, she asked great questions about Baxter and his routines. She provided fun updates with pics a few times a day -- much appreciated!”
“Ruthy is the best! Huey goes to the dog park multiple times a day and is socializing with the other dogs all day. He comes home tired, happy and hungry. Thank you ruthy!! ”
“I cannot recommend Andre highly enough! From the meet and greet, it was clear he was a true dog lover and incredibly professional. He took wonderful care of our dog Charlie, and provided updates with photos. It was such a relief he was in such good hands. We will absolutely be booking again and highly recommend him!”
“I had a great experience with Korin! I left Maru with her for a few hours while we went out for a late dinner. Our dinner ran a little longer than expected, but she was so understanding and patient. We really appreciated their flexibility and kindness. Would definitely book with them again! ❤️”
“Anthony was one of the best dogsitters I’ve connected with through Rover. He has been super clear with communication, very flexible/accommodating of Fluffy’s needs and my schedule, and most importantly, took super good care of Fluffy. She’s a high maintenance dog that barks a lot, but I could tell immediately that Anthony is very confident in taking care of all kinds of dogs in all situations.”
“Sydney treated my dog as her own. Her space for them is lovely and she is kind and very accommodating to pets needs. I would bring my senior dog here again for sure ! Highly recommend”
“Lily is a wonderful sitter that loves my dog as if she were her own! I would definitely reach out to Lily if I need care for Nyxie again. You will not regret asking her to care for your beloved pup ❤️ Thanks so much Lily!”
“We had a perfect first experience with Nicole! She was so kind and welcoming to our shy, nervous boy. He warmed up to her quickly and definitely enjoyed the company of the critters who live there. We look forward to continuing our relationship with her and Joe!”
“I felt so much at peace leaving Casanova at doggy day care, especially with Lilian's photo updates. He came home tired and happy, a great sign he had a fun time!”

“I highly recommend Zen for dog walks. She’s incredibly patient and has a great vibe and energy. I’ll definitely be using her for dog walks in the future. Thank you again for walking Viktoria!”
About: I took care of my aunt’s dog named Batman for 8 years until my aunt moved away. Ever since I have always enjoyed taking care of animals like dogs, cats, hamsters, fish and chickens! I currently work Sun-Thurs from 1pm to 9:30pm. I don’t have anything that needs my attention before I need to get to work! I am fully free Friday and Saturdays! I have a fenced yard and a dog park down the block. I have an old crate that can be used if needed and no other dogs or cats in the home.
“Daria was easy to communicate with and was great with Juni! I appreciated that she wiled Juni’s paws after walking in the rain. Loved the action shots on Juni’s report card. Thank you, Daria! :)”
“Anais is incredibly puntual, caring, and communicative. She is mindful of my aging dog’s needs and even took her to sniff some wildflowers at my dog’s favorite spot during their walk.”
“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!”
About: I’ve always loved pets especially dogs, excited to get your pet some outdoor time! I’m happy to walk any kind of pup and can promise lots of pets and positive affirmations. I work from home so my schedule is flexible, looking to get outside to break up the day and take pups out for some outdoor time and exercise. I am very observant of pets behavior and provide care based on their specific needs. I have worked with anxious pets and am comfortable with techniques to soothe pets and create a calm environment.
“Kim was extremely nice to our pets and did a great job with the dog walk. Her Rover card included a detailed description of their walk and the photos were appreciated. 10/10!”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with over 20 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs. I currently have a dog of my own and understand just how much our pets mean to us—they’re family. When I moved my dad to California so I could become his full-time caregiver, bringing his dog with us was never a question. He’s an important part of our family and daily life. I previously had another beloved dog from the age of 13 through 27, giving me experience with puppies, adult dogs, and seniors. I’m comfortable providing patient, attentive care and making sure each dog feels safe, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. As someone who genuinely loves animals, I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. Whether your dog needs a walk, playtime, or simply some extra companionship, I’ll treat them with the same care and attention I give my own. Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine. I currently care for my own dog, so daily walks, feeding, playtime, and making sure he gets plenty of attention are already built into my schedule. Because I have a flexible schedule right now, I’m able to provide pets with extra attention, companionship, and care throughout the day rather than just fitting them in between other commitments. Whether it’s a walk, a drop-in visit, or keeping a pet company while their owner is away, I enjoy making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved. I believe every pet is happiest when their routine stays as consistent as possible. In a client’s home, I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications (if needed), playtime, and any household rules. I also make sure pets receive plenty of attention, affection, and exercise while their owners are away. For walks and drop-in visits, I prioritize safety, communication, and making sure each pet’s individual needs are met. I understand that every animal has a different personality and comfort level, so I take the time to build trust and help them feel secure. As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to have peace of mind when someone else is caring for your pet, and I treat every animal as if they were my own.
About: I have experience with cats who are particularly anxious, I am able to provide much more than just feeding and regular care tasks. I have experience with emotional regulation for anxious cats and dogs , and I’m able to provide extra attention through extended stays, diverse kinds of play, and overnight care. I also have prior experience with elderly dogs who need special accommodation. I work only 2 days a week, and have a very open flexible schedule at the moment. I can provide a wide range of services, my most notable experience is working with anxious pets who need extra attention and love! For dogs, I prefer to take dogs on multiple walks (ideally 3 walks per day) to encourage lots of activity, I can encourage socializing if needed. For cats, I love to drop in and play, give affection or just coexist as needed!

“This is a farewell to our good friend and best dog sitter on this planet. We used Sameer for years and exclusively since our first meet and greet. There may be other sitters that are good, but Sameer just has this presence that our dogs gravitated to, and you could just tell that they immediately felt a connection to him and his family. We just moved out of the area, but we couldn't leave before expressing our gratitude for the love that our dogs received during their many stays with Sameer. He was also very accommodating when we experienced last-minute change in our travel plans. We highly recommend Sameer's services...he's simply exemplary when it comes to taking care of dogs. We'll mis you Sameer...best to you and your family!”
“Olivia and Drew were great with Milo. They took him on daily walks/hikes, cuddled with him ont he couch, played in the yard with him and he loved all of it. He came home tired and happy. It was the first time leaving Milo since he was rescued and Olivia was very kind and patient and answered all my questions.”

“I am super grateful for Ben and his family. My super human-attached dog absolutely adores them (which makes leaving her a little easier on me). This is her second stay with Ben and they will remain one of my top-choice sitters! Highly recommend.”
