“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!”
“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!”
“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!”
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.
“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!”
“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.”
“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!”
“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).”
“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!”
“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.”
“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!”
“Anna was as happy and healthy as the day I dropped her off! You guys did a great job with her… I now know at the next time I travel I have the confidence of leaving here in good hands. I bet she misses you guys. We should make a play date scheduled so she can see her new friends! Thank you again”
“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!”
“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!”
“Her and her partner are excellent they took my pup in and she was so happy playing with their pups thank you guys and if I need people to watch my do I will always request yall.”

“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.”
“From the very first meet and greet we knew Lydia would be a great cat sitter for us and after each visit we knew that she was taking extra good care of our kitty. Thank you and definitely will reach out again, highly recommend Lydia for your little kitty. Hope to meet her again soon as our trusted go to cat lover!”
About: Thankfully I grew up with cats. I had the pleasure of having littermates in my family for 10yrs. I love matching a cat’s energy. So as long as I understand the cat’s temperament, we’ll be good.
“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!”
“I would trust Zoe to take care of my cat any time any day! They were so great with giving my cat Marny the love and care she needed while I was gone and was even able to trim some of Marny’s nails (something very hard to do haha). I appreciate the thought and care Zoe put into taking care of Marny and would really recommend their services when leaving on a trip. :)”
“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!”
“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.”
“Jasmine was wonderful to work with. She came by to go over everything even though it was a last minute booking. She took great care of our 2 cats, including giving a daily medication. Her notes and pictures gave me confidence about how things were going while we were away.”
“Lisa did a great job with our two very nervous and shy cats who don't enjoy new strangers around (making feeding difficult). Being the cats' first time with Lisa, Lisa was very patient with them, while still engaging with them at a respectful distance so that they got used to her presence. She also did a great job communicating with us, which we valued a lot, and sharing the progress with the cats with photos, details and responding quickly. Overall, great experience!”
About: hi! i’m supriya :) i’m a cat mom to a sassy & cuddly tortie named tiger :) i’m experienced with all the basic caretaking for cats — including feeding dry & wet food, refilling water fountains, cleaning litter boxes, cleaning up messes :,( & giving lots of cuddles <3
About: I grew up in a family that rescued and fostered over 50 animals, which instilled a deep passion for and comfortableness with animal care. In the past 10 years , I have provided short term and long term care for cats ranging in age from 8 weeks to senior. This has included giving oral medication, pills, and post-surgery care. I’m fortunate to also have a strong network of folks with pet care and veterinary expertise who are knowledgeable advisers when I need it. In all situations, I lead with compassion for the animal first :) My work schedule is flexible and largely work-from-home with no location requirement, meaning I am easily able to housesit with a pet on most days. I have my own car so can travel as needed as well. Unfortunately I am unable to provide overnight stays for a pet in my home. However, I am happy to housesit, and can also provide plant care if needed! How I care for your pet in your home is up to your preferences, but when I am able I always try to be home with the pet throughout the day providing play and attention as needed :)
“I always try to book Jes first and hope he’s available. He is a great pet sitter. He takes great care of our cat, is reliable and trustworthy and always lets us know how our cat is doing. I highly recommend him.”
About: I grew up with cats and had my own cats throughout the last 12 years. I’m the first person my friends reach out to when they need someone to care for their cat(s) when they’re away go out of town. I don’t just show up to feed and clean the litter box because cats need attention too. I play with them and will accept all the snuggles they want to give. If your cat prefers to do their own thing, I’d still be happy to sit and read in the space to provide some company if you’d like. I’ll also provide plenty of photos if that’s something that you enjoy while away. I typically work 9am-4pm so can stop by in the mornings and/or evenings to provide care. I work from home Thursdays and Fridays, so am more flexible then if you’d like me to spend the day with your cat(s) as I’m a therapist and can do online sessions from any private space. My weekends are also pretty flexible. I will respect your space and clean up after your cat and myself. Of course I’ll make sure your cat isn’t getting out when I arrive or leave and would appreciate a heads up if your cat does try to sneak out since they can be quick creatures.
About: My Care Style • Calm, low-stress presence • Respect for your cat’s space & personality • Play, enrichment & engagement (when welcomed) • Reliable, detail-oriented care • Clean, tidy environment I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet and your home. My goal is always to provide care that feels thoughtful, dependable, and genuinely comforting for both you and your cat. Looking forward to meeting you and your feline companion 🐾
“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:)”
“Laura stayed at our house and watched our three cats while we were on vacation—she was fantastic!! Laura was very communicative and took great care of our three gals, especially the youngest who required a little bit of extra care. We got adorable cat pictures throughout our vacation and came home to happy kitties and a clean house, couldn’t have asked for more! We hope to have Laura cat sit for us again in the future!”
“Marian did such a wonderful job housesitting for us and being a pal to our cat, Phoebe. We got regular detailed updates from Marian about their time together with such sweet photos as well! Phoebe loved hanging out with Marian - she got lots of good play and snuggles. And we came home to a clean and tidy house! Thanks Marian!”

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
“Simone took excellent care of our senior dog. She asked good questions and was gentle with our high needs dog. I felt totally at ease knowing she was in good hands!”
“Alexandria is our favorite sitter! Ocean (our Labrador puppy) loves the times that he gets watched by her. Ocean always comes home happy and tired from all the playing. Alexandria is super easy to communicate with and sends updates and pictures throughout the day.”
“Sara was awesome! She was super friendly and Wes warmed right up to her. She was very communicative throughout the day sending lots of texts and picture updates which I really appreciate :) Wes seemed to have a great time.”
“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: Animals are one of my life’s greatest loves. I’ve spent a lifetime working hands-on with cats, dogs, birds, and other small animals—at this point, I’m a level-capped pet sitter with stat bonuses vs shy guys and grumps. 𝐋𝐚𝐫𝐠𝐞 𝐝𝐨𝐠𝐬: I’m strong; I can walk and manage large dogs easily (esp. with a harness). I’m experienced with energetic and anxious dogs who need 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐟𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭 handling. 𝐂𝐚𝐭𝐬: I’m ridiculously good with cats and offer professional-level 𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 as an add-on service. I have all the tools and expertise to handle mat removal, brushing, nail trims, and ear cleaning—skills I’ve developed caring for my own cats. 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐈 𝐨𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫: • Follow care instructions as written • Regular photo updates • Respectful of your home and routines • Flexible part-time schedule I work from home part-time, so I can structure visits around your pets’ actual schedules—midday walks, multiple daily check-ins, or extended house sitting. Serving Rockridge and surrounding Oakland neighborhoods. Prefer to walk or bike for drop-ins and walks; happy to drive for house sitting. I work part-time from home (and for house sitting, can easily work from yours), so I have a flexible schedule to structure around your pets’ needs — walks, feedings, playtime, grooming, cuddling and companionship. At home, I maintain a clean, calm environment with scheduled meals, play, and grooming for my own two beloved cats. Routine and enrichment are key to keeping pets stress-free and content.
“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.”

“Laura is the best dog caretaker!! She is very easy to communicate with and always responds promptly. My dog loves her and always comes back from walks tired and happy. My dog can be a bit challenging to walk at times but I never have to worry when he is with Laura. Would highly recommend!”
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.
“Hollie did a great job walking Lyla and Daniel. They can be a handful (especially Lyla), and Hollie’s been kind and patient with them. Hollie’s punctual, communicative, and clear with me about what’s happening with the pups! I’m glad that she was able to spend some time with them!”
“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!”
“Cindy was my first rover walker and she did not disappoint! She was responsive and followed directions. My pup is overly excited when meeting new people and Cindy did great. Thank you Cindy for taking good care of my lulu. I definitely recommended her and will be booking Cindy from now on.”
About: Working as a volunteer at the Berkley dog shelter I take dogs for a daily walk. We go for a couple of miles to a perfect spot that I know. I love hiking places in California. I work part-time so that I can be available during the midday hours on weekdays and weekends. I love hiking, but I find it more enjoyable when I’m around dogs. Going to client’s house feed them, give them water, take them to a walk , give them some cuddles and love, attention, playing with them,
About: I have been around and taking care of animals since I was a kid! Growing up on my grandmas farm with 7 dogs, 5 horses, 9 cats and about 50 llamas taught me how to properly care for animals of all kinds, and how they can also take care of you! I had a pug named Fergus growing up and have lived with a pitbull mix for about 6 years, who I love to care for. I have also always had cats and have raised 3 rabbits! I love animals of all kinds, I can’t wait to meet yours ! I am an art student, and would love to care for your pet in my free time ! I’m available weekends and afternoons mon-friday ! I am not currently available available to host pets in my home but would love to visit your pet in your home to feed, give love and attention and let them out to run around and play games !
“Richard was incredible with our new puppy. Moro can be a bit of a handful, but Richard was so good to him on the walks and provided him with all the care he needed. We really appreciated Richard's timely communication and engaging updates. We even got a helpful doggy report card at the end of our vacation! Moro looks forward to spending more time with Richard in the future.”
About: Hi, I’m Cassandra, you can call me Cass if you like. I grew up in the farmlands of western Massachusetts, where animals were everywhere, so I’ve been surrounded by them my whole life. Most pets feel instantly comfortable with me, and I’ve even successfully tamed feral kittens for rehoming on several occasions. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, and even a chicken or two, and I work part-time at a dog sanctuary fostering small dogs from Mexico to loving homes in the Bay Area. I’m patient, attentive, and adaptable, able to meet each pet’s unique needs—whether it’s a senior dog requiring extra care, a shy cat needing gentle reassurance, or a playful pup ready for walks and cuddles. I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m a creative consultant helping mission-driven individuals and nonprofits reach their goals and make maximum impact. I work mostly from home, which allows me plenty of flexibility to accommodate dog walking times, feedings, and cuddle sessions. On the days I have in-person meetings, they typically last 1–3 hours, so I can easily plan around them to ensure pets get the attention and care they need throughout the day. I provide pet care exclusively in my clients’ homes. I live in a small 500-square-foot cottage with my two cats, and my adult daughter comes home from grad school occasionally, so caring for pets in my own home isn’t feasible. Focusing on in-home care allows me to give each pet personalized attention in their familiar environment, keeping them safe, comfortable, and stress-free while their families are away
“Arianna took such good care of our fur babies while we were away for the day. While taking them on their walks, she posted nice pictures of them enjoying the sun outside and they loved the extra attentions she gave them. She was so responsive and very easy to communicate with. She even brought in some of our Amazon packages that were on our doorstep, which we greatly appreciated! We highly recommend Arianna and look forward to booking her again!”
“Alexandria is absolutely wonderful! She provides a fun and safe environment and our dogs love her. She has great experience and communicates well! Her love and dedication for furry family members really shines. She really came through in a strong way for our family! Thanks Alexandria!”
“Maya is a sweet and caring dog walker, our dog Scout was going through a hard patch meeting new Rovers and Maya had the magic touch to make Scout trust strangers. The beginning of the week started with a dog that would run away when the Rover came but it be end Scout was excited to see Maya as she was to see me when I came home! Such a comforting feeling to know that my dog was in great hands.”
About: I bring over 15 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, with a particular love and comfort level for well-behaved pups of any size. I previously had multiple Great Danes, so managing large, powerful dogs is second nature to me. I know reside with my 15 lb Aussiedoodle in the East Bay. My care style is calm, attentive, and highly personalized. I focus on creating a relaxed, structured environment where dogs feel secure, understood, and genuinely cared for. I especially enjoy long walks, outdoor time, and thoughtful enrichment that keeps dogs mentally engaged as well as physically exercised. Whether your dog thrives on adventure, routine, or simply peaceful companionship, I tailor care to their individual temperament and needs. While I adore dogs of all sizes, I naturally connect with well-mannered large and giant breeds. Their personalities, presence, and gentle nature have always been my sweet spot. My Approach • Calm, grounded energy • Long, engaging walks • Enrichment & mental stimulation • Respect for routines & preferences • Reliable, boutique-style care I understand how important it is to trust someone with your dog. My goal is always to provide a level of care that feels thoughtful, intuitive, and genuinely reassuring. Looking forward to meeting you and your pup 🐾 I have intentionally limited daytime availability, which allows me to provide highly attentive, unrushed care. Rather than juggling multiple bookings, I typically focus on one household per day so your pet receives my full presence, energy, and attention. I own and operate a small business, and during this season I’m choosing to supplement my days doing something I genuinely love — spending time with animals. Caring for pets is something I find grounding, joyful, and deeply rewarding. For walks, I choose safe, calm, low-stress environments. I’m highly mindful of surroundings and well-versed in reading situations to ensure dogs remain comfortable and relaxed. I have extensive experience handling large and giant breeds on leash, and I’m confident managing powerful dogs with steady, grounded energy. Off-leash activity is never an option unless within your pet’s own familiar environment and based entirely on your preferences. Trust & Care for Your Home I understand that inviting someone into your home requires a high level of trust. I treat every home with the same respect, discretion, and care I would expect for my own. I’m naturally tidy, conscientious, and attentive to details — whether that means maintaining cleanliness, following household preferences, or ensuring your space is left exactly as you’d expect. Referrals are gladly provided upon request. I’ve been trained to remain observant and considerate of other dogs, children, and potential stressors, and I proactively navigate walks in a way that prioritizes safety and ease for your dog. Your pet’s well-being, security, and peace of mind are always my highest priority.
“Alexis was great and made themself available at short notice. Alexis was responsive, communicated effectively and was attentive to our dogs needs. Alexis made me feel at ease knowing my doggo was being cared for. I would highly recommend Alexis to anyone with animal care needs!”

“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.”

“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!”
“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!”
“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!”
“Nikolai and his wife have a lot of experience watching after all breeds and sizes of dogs. My pup stayed with them along a large group of other pups over the holidays and we had an overall good experience with them. I was happy to know that our pup had plenty of friends to be with during his long stay.”
“Kristen and Ryan were incredibly warm and accommodating when first meeting my small and nervous doggie. They showed their home and clearly demonstrated a level of care and experience that gave me a lot of comfort and would definitely rebook. They were also attentive of how our dogs interacted and made sure they experienced little to no distress. Highly recommend their services 🩷”
“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.”
“Yeon Soo and her husband took great care of my highly anxious pup! I haven’t left her with anyone since she was a puppy and was nervous I wouldn’t ever find the right person to care for her. Yeon Soon was understanding of all of my dog’s needs and checked in about her preferences for certain things (eg time she could be left alone). I got updates multiple times per day (much appreciated) including photos and videos. By the end of the stay my dog had made herself at home and had some new friends! Very grateful to have found a responsible and caring sitter for my dog.”
