“Megan and Jenny were amazing! They watched our dog, Beni, while we were out of the country for over two weeks for vacation and sent us daily, adorable, photo updates of him relaxing and playing with the other dogs that overlapped with his stay. He came back happy and healthy and seemed to have the best time. We were joking that he got to go on a vacation too! Will definitely book them to watch Beni again.”
“Alex did a great job looking after our dog for 3 weeks. We received regular updates and pictures throughout the trip which made us feel at ease She is quick with communications when coordinating pickup/dropoff. Overall we had a great experience and would book with Alex again!”
“I’m so glad to have found Hy and Arlo! My dog Neko can be shy with new people and reactive toward other dogs, so I was nervous about leaving her with a dog sitter. Hy met with us in advance and was extremely patient and understanding of Neko’s issues. She understood the need to keep Neko away from other dogs and was so gentle and sweet with her. She was great at communicating and sent plenty of pictures and updates during Neko’s stay. I’m planning to leave Neko with them again this summer and know she will be in good hands!”
“Lee was SO sweet and took great care of my dog for a couple of days. She sent regular pupdates and was really responsive. I was nervous because my dog doesn’t spend much time with other dogs at all and Lee was willing to do a meet and greet and we let the dogs meet and get acclimated to the space a few days before her actual stay. Can’t say thank you enough and would definitely rebook in the future!”
“Our pup Lenny had a fantastic time staying with Chad for a weekend! Chad was flexible and easy to communicate with, and he sent updates and photos. Chad’s house always seems to have a few dogs staying there, which was perfect for Lenny as he is very social. He really seemed to enjoy his stay, we have already booked another boarding with Chad in a couple months!”
“This was our 4th booking with Anthony and Nikita. We know that our dog will get loving, careful care, and there will be daily updates and photos. It's a weight off our minds to know he's in good hands.”
“Andrea is wonderful! She’s so kind and caring with my little dog. He wasn’t feeling 100% when I dropped him off. She took extra good care of him, made sure he got plenty of rest, and sent me lots of updates and photos. Excellent experience and I will definitely call on her again. Thanks!!!”
“Our Miss Lexie had a wonderful stay. Chawntea treated our baby girl like family. She made new furry friends, which helps her socialization skills. Chawntea was so flexible with our ever-changing travel plans. Shout out to Southwest. She sent updates and pics while we were away, which brought smiles to our faces. Without a doubt, we will be using her services in the future.”
“I could not be more pleased and appreciative of how well Kristen and Ryan took care of my Solo. This is the longest I have been out of town in a while and I wanted Solo to be in a comfortable and secure place and with people that will look after her as if she was their own. Kristen and Ryan did that for sure. They kept me well informed of how Solo was doing and it really looked like Solo enjoyed her time with them. I highly recommend Kristen and Ryan and will defiantly book any future pet sitting I need with them.”
“Van Joseph and Matthew were fabulous dog sitters. They treated our dog like one of their own and gave her lots of attention. They were very communicative, sending frequent photo and video updates. We recommend them highly and will book with them again.”
“I had such a great experience boarding my dog, Skye, over Thanksgiving week. From start to finish, the care was outstanding. Skye immediately felt comfortable, and I could tell he was in good hands the entire time. I received regular updates, including photos and messages, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. The environment was clean, safe, and welcoming, and it was clear that Skye was treated like part of the family. He came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved. I highly recommend Astrid to anyone looking for reliable, caring, and attentive dog boarding. I’ll definitely book again in the future!”
“Ying is a wonderful dog sitter. She took care of our 75lbs Shepard mix and sent us fun photos and generally cared about his well being. We hope she’s available the next time we need a sitter!”
“Lacey was fantastic with my very big & cuddly dog, who also has severe separation anxiety. He was clearly in good hands! Though it was only for one overnight we will definitely be working with Lacey & her family again!!”
“Albina took great care of Abby. This was my very first time leaving her with a sitter and I was a very anxious momma! Albina was patient with me and put my anxiety at ease with ongoing communication, pictures, and videos. I would definitely recommend Albina!”
About: I have 21 years of hands-on experience raising my own loving pitbulls, singing with a pack of opinionated huskies, and working with fosters. Whether it’s walks, pets and a calming presence, or special attention to medications (eye and oral) for specific needs, I aim to make each outing a tail-wagging success! I am currently pursuing a second bachelor’s degree in nursing. My lectures are remote, and my in-person commitment is minimal, leaving me plenty of availability and flexibility to make sure that your family members are taken care of to the best of my ability! Afternoons after 12pm - 9pm are ideal but your dog is the priority and I can accommodate most needs. Coming from a background in emergency medicine, I know that trust and safety are two of the highest priorities for caretakers of any kind. I emphasize that I am a guest into homes, and that the well-being of furry family members is the highest priority. Even the most unique needs should be met!
“Daryl and Andrew were wonderful. They were patient, warm, and very caring with our pup Loki. In addition, they were gracious in enabling us to slightly shift pick up time at the last minute. I would highly recommend them.”
“This is our 3rd time boarding our furbaby with Jessie, I don't think you could find a better dog sitter than her and Cade and of course Eta too. They are so loving and thoughtful and will do everything they possibly can to ensure your dog is in the most loving hands. If you are looking for someone to spoil your pup while you are away, don't look any further!”
“Arryonna was absolutely amazing!! She took great care of our wild puppy for a whole weekend. She updated me daily with pics & videos. We met ahead of time to be sure everything felt comfortable when introducing our pup to her own animals. I can’t say enough good things about our experience”

She followed all instructions carefully, and my cat HaoHao was happy and well cared for. We felt at ease knowing Lucy was looking after her. Will definitely be booking again!”
“Bryanna was A-MAZ-ZING. she sent me multiple updates a day along with photos and videos. My kitty can get sad and low energy when I travel, so it was so nice to see her engage burger with playtime and toys! My house was super clean after she left so will 100% be hiring Bryanna again!”
About: i’ve always been a dog person, but i love cats! i don’t have much experience with them but through paw-mily members i have learned to look for cats body language, knowing when to keep hands off the kitty, look out for a striking paw Ect
“We were so lucky to have Melanie look after our cats while we were on vacation. She was able to step in on very short notice and was absolutely great. The cats warmed to her immediately and the daily updates and photos confirmed that the cats had taken her in as part of their little family. Melanie was very attentive and kept us updated which gave us complete ease of mind knowing that the cats were well cared for. Highly recommend Melanie for anyone looking for a caring, responsible cat sitter”
“Dane was kind, patient, and understanding with our kitties and with us as well! My partner and I had an out of town emergency family, causing us to need to leave last minute & change our booking multiple times. Dane was flexible and understanding throughout the process. Our kitties were very new to our house and skittish, but Dane was gentle with them and helped them get comfortable with him very quickly!”
“Jana is such a wonderful cat sitter: she gives updates with every visit, takes incredible photos (hire her for that alone!), and loves your cat as her own. Our cat warmed to her immediately and loved playing and snuggling with her. We are lucky to have found her!”
“Suzanne took great care of my baby Cosmo! She was quick to respond to messages, sent thorough updates, and clearly really understands and loves cats - even my shy boy warmed up to her faster than usual. I would definitely recommend her as a pet-sitter and will book again!”
“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!!”
“Diana was helpful and communicative and trustworthy with our little bunny, who was honestly pretty messy and required some extra / unexpected care because he got sick and needed medicine. Diana was very consistent with the updates and we loved having someone so local to provide for Janus.”
“You can tell Kaylyn really cares about cats. She treated my cat like he was her own, and you could tell in all the pictures that she sent that he looked so relaxed and content, even in the unfamiliar environment! 100% will be booking again.”
“Great person to work with. She asks all the right questions which I found really reassuring. Helpful check-ins even with my very shy cats. I couldn’t be more happy with my first time using Rover.”
“Vania was awesome!!! I needed someone last minute and she came through. She was great with my two pitbulls and treated them like queens. She was always on time and very communicative with pictures. I strongly recommend and will be using her in the future.”
About: I’ve always been an animal lover and currently care for two cats of my own, so I understand how important it is to have someone you trust looking after your pets. I’m very attentive to behavior, routines, and small changes, and I take the time to make sure each pet feels safe and comfortable. I have hands-on experience with different personalities, including more sensitive or particular pets. I’m patient, calm, and respectful of their space, whether that means giving them extra attention or letting them come to me on their own terms. I’m happy to follow detailed care instructions, including feeding routines, medications, and playtime preferences. I also know how important updates are, so I’ll keep you informed with photos and check-ins so you feel at ease while you’re away.
“Iris cared for our nearly 19 year old kitty recently. Iris was attentive to her unique medical and food needs and sent us daily pictures of our beloved BHussy. We were concerned B would lose weight while we were gone and she did not, thanks to Iris! We definitely would use Iris again.”

“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!”
“Another great day with Tamara and Sidney! My puppy bounds out of the car when we show up at her house and comes home happy, tired, and well-taken care of. She is amazing!”
“My skittish large breed puppy was very happy in Toon's care. He really is excellent with dogs and dogs love him as well. He took him out on plenty of walks and time at the dog parks. Will certainly recommend him and we will be going to him a lot more in the future. We are so lucky he is in our area.”
“I dropped off my dog Niles Crane at Charlene's place for a day of doggy daycare and it was clear from the start that Charlene truly cared about NIles' wellbeing. I received photos and videos throughout the day and it looked as if Niles was having a blast! He came home happy and exhausted. We have already booked an overnight stay so Niles can visit his friends again. If you're looking for someone who will treat your dog as one of their own, look no further.”
“Angel was such a wonderful sitter, and a complete lifesaver! We needed care last minute and she was available. For our first time using Rover, I could not have asked for such a wonderful person. I'm so grateful for her constant communication and reassurance that our Tempi was doing good. Highly recommend her! And if available would love to continue having Tempi stay with her.”

About: Hey my names Kenneth de arman , I have large amounts of knowledge on dog psychology and physiology. I have trained dogs for 9 years and have cared for numerous animals since I was 10. I have owned large dogs and small breeds. Also have owned an abundance of reptiles. I am certified in explosive detection. I specialize in obedience, socialization, behavior modification and I raised American Bullys for 8 years. I have owned a large number of dogs over 27 years. There isn’t anything that’s to much for me. What sets me apart of other people is that I work with all breeds but specifically working dogs. I am confident and have trained dogs from start to finish. If you need any help or have any questions I’d be more than welcome to answer them for you. I am available for drop in the am and pick up time around 5pm. I am never discouraged when it comes to caring for an animal. I make time and I will always move my schedule around so that the animals can be happy. I have a fenced yard that is split, boarders have been placed along the fence. This is to prevent fence fighting or becoming territorial. I have large water bowls I keep 2 outside. I refill the water ever 2-3 hours a day. I clean the yard with a pooper scooper three times a day. I spray the yard with cleaner and fly spray. I do this everyday 7 days a week. My dogs are usually outside from morning till night. I give them walks in between the day and I train my malinois a lot due to their high drive( trainer for 9yrs) . Always entertaining them and giving them something to do is crucial.
“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.”
“Such an amazing visit. Hudson had a blast and burned so much energy playing with oscar, he barely had the energy to make it home! ? Iryna provided frequent updates with pics throughout the day so we always knew what the little dude was up to. We will definitely be booking again!!”
“Kai and I enjoyed Chawntea so much that we rebooked. As a first time furbaby mom it’s hard to just leave my baby with anyone. I am so glad to have found her.”
“Shannon was a great communicator from the start and helped me out super last-minute when I was in a pinch with needing care for my pup. She was great with Lucy, shared photos and let me know all they had been up to. Lucy was happy when I picked her up and slept really great that night. Shannon was professional, super attentive, and her schedule flexibility is so appreciated!! I’m glad I found her and Rocky and look forward to Lucy getting to spend more time with them!”
About: Hello dog lovers! I grew up with a yellow lab and have been an animal lover my entire life. I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I truly believe pets bring a special kind of love into a home and make it feel complete. I’d be honored to care for your dog while you’re away, so you can relax and enjoy your time knowing your beloved pet is safe, happy, and in loving hands. My schedule is currently open! I am flexible and willing to work with you to suit your pets needs. I am located in Fruitvale in Oakland. I have 2 adult cats in my home currently. I have a fenced backyard and many parks nearby that are great for a dog stroll!
About: I grew up with 6 pit bulls, taking sun baths with them in my backyard. I’ve volunteered in SF SPCA and donate monthly. My best friend aka Herita is a rescue, she’s been with me for over 3 years now. I believe animals have taught me how to love unconditionally and responsibly. Calm, trust and safety are my top priorities. I hope you give me the chance to connect with you and your fur baby/ babies. I work from home. I normally take Hera on a walk every morning for about 30 mins. Come back and hit the gym. After that I’m free. I can always head over in the am, afternoon or evenings. I have a fenced yard, Herita is spayed and loves to play with other dogs. Her bff is a 3 y/o Doberman. Which I take care of a couple of times a week (take her out on walks and feed her)
“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! ❤️”
About: I have my doctorate in clinical psychology and love animals. I am not allowed to have my own pet so I love to pet sit!

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.
“Eleanna is great! Her experience with dogs is obvious. I can tell she is confident and knowledgeable. She is also compassionate and I feel completely safe having her take care of my dog who gets a little nervous out there in the real world. I’m so grateful that I have met her and will call her back many times. Thanks!”
About: Greetings! I'm Patrick. I've done a bunch of pet and house sitting on another platform, as well as for family, friends and acquaintances, besides having my own pets or sharing them with past partners. I used to practice massage therapy and reiki. I bring a similar intention to handling pets that I brought to responding to clients needs. I'd like to do part-time pet care in the East Bay, with some availability to housesit for longer sits around the full Bay Area. I can be more spontaneous for pet care near Oakland depending upon the timing. For longer resident sits please try to give me a week or two notice with a request. I'll see what works. Thanks! What an honor it is to care for people's homes and pets! I feel excited to transition my pet and house-sitting to this platform. Thanks for your consideration. I enjoy caring for pets and homes. I appreciate the trust-building process, staying accountable and growing as a person, all which these experiences foster. I intend to be a respectful well-communicating sitter and to provide a safe fun atmosphere for your pets. I appreciate receiving questions and feedback during a video chat or in person meet and greet where we get to know each other.
“Melanie is great! She takes good care of my dog! She is always very punctual and follows all the instructions. My dog was really happy when she took her out! Definitely will choose her again next time!”
“Sydney was incredible with our Waldo! Our pup often walks better with another doggy friend, and Sydney was open and flexible with scheduling a meet up for our dogs in advance of the week I desperately needed some dog walking help. She included lots of photos & updates and was reliable. My dog always seemed her happiest self when I got home after a long day. 10/10 would book again!!!”
About: I’ve had dogs for years and always look forward to help friends and family look after their pets. I enjoy looking after and bathing animals. I myself have 3 dogs and 3 guinea pigs so I genuinely love caring for animals. I work part time during nights so I’m available all day every day to love and care for your pets. I’m also in school but it’s mostly online. I follow instructions when caring for pets in other peoples homes because it’s their home so I want them to be comfortable and trust me coming into their space.
“I was home when Heather picked up the dogs today - I was happy to see how excited they were to see her. We recently moved here, and I’m happy they have already made one good friend.”
About: I bring patience, consistency, and real love for animals to every walk or visit. I grew up around dogs and have experience caring for both high-energy puppies and senior dogs who need a slower, gentler touch. I’m mainly an actor and does filming so I have a lot of free time to walk and take care of animals. Getting my daily steps in with pets is something I love to do I treat pets and homes with the same care and respect I’d want for my own. Every animal is different, so I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and needs — from feeding schedules and potty breaks to their favorite toys and walk routes. In a client’s home, I make sure to follow instructions closely, keep the space clean, and respect the home like a guest should. I communicate often when needed and if something is happening
“We love Sage! They are so friendly, reliable, and prompt. Gave Dasha her meds when she needed them, and sent great updates after each walk. Will def work with them again soon. Thanks Sage!! Dasha loves you.”
“Alice and her kids were brilliant! She goes above and beyond being intuitive to our dogs’ needs, getting them good excercise and a good dose of loving care. I am comforted knowing my pups will get the loving attention they need (and excercise) with Alice.”
About: I have always had dogs in my life and would love to care for yours! I am very familiar with local hills walks and dog parks. I am an educator in Oakland looking for additional opportunities to utilize my love for dogs by providing high quality, varied dog walks in the hills of Oakland, dog parks and on the East Bay shore (Albany Bulb etc.). I am currently available for dog walks through July. I am available for dog walks and check ins and fun for your dog at home. Dog walks are limited to three dogs (I have a medium sized car)).

She was great at communicating and sent plenty of pictures and updates during Neko’s stay. I’m planning to leave Neko with them again this summer and know she will be in good hands!”
“Our pup Lenny had a fantastic time staying with Chad for a weekend! Chad was flexible and easy to communicate with, and he sent updates and photos.

About: I have 21 years of hands-on experience raising my own loving pitbulls, singing with a pack of opinionated huskies, and working with fosters. Whether it’s walks, pets and a calming presence, or special attention to medications (eye and oral) for specific needs, I aim to make each outing a tail-wagging success! I am currently pursuing a second bachelor’s degree in nursing. My lectures are remote, and my in-person commitment is minimal, leaving me plenty of availability and flexibility to make sure that your family members are taken care of to the best of my ability!

“Kennia watched my sweet Moose for the first time this weekend. She asked questions if unsure about how I would do something (like can he be off leash, etc.) which I appreciated so much! She also sent pictures of Moose to help comfort me while away from him. I’ll absolutely use Kennia again :)”
“Angel is very responsive and shows great responsibility. She takes really good care of my cat. She likes Benjamin and Benjamin likes her. Thank you for accepting the book last minute!”
About: I offer a quieter, more individualized kind of dog sitting. I only take dogs from one household at a time, so your dog won’t be sharing the space with a rotating group of other dogs. That allows me to give them a lot of individual attention and to keep their routine as familiar as possible. I’m a licensed acupuncturist and a therapist in training, so being reliable and observant is a big part of my professional life. I’m also very conscientious about following your instructions closely. I know how much the little details matter, and I make a point of keeping track of feeding schedules, medications, walks, sleeping arrangements, and the routines that help your dog feel at home. I have firsthand experience caring for an anxious dog who later developed dementia and physical limitations. Because of that, I’m especially comfortable with senior dogs and dogs who are sensitive or easily overwhelmed. I understand how much patience and consistency can matter when a dog needs extra support. I’m especially available on weekends, when I can spend plenty of time with your dog rather than fitting visits around a packed schedule. Depending on their personality and energy level, we might have a quiet day at home, take neighborhood walks, or head out to places like Piedmont Park, the Albany Bulb, or the beach. I want your dog to feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away, and I want you to feel completely confident that someone is really paying attention to them. Pet care fits best into my schedule on weekends, when I have plenty of time to give dogs attention, walks, companionship, and a relaxed home environment. I’m generally available from Friday evening through Sunday and can often accommodate weekend boarding or daytime care. During the week I work a regular professional schedule, so I’m intentional about only accepting bookings when I know I can provide the time and attention a pet needs. When a dog is staying with me, I want them to be part of my routine rather than squeezed into it. I take safety and trust seriously and make a point of following each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. In my home, I provide a calm, comfortable environment and make sure dogs have appropriate supervision, regular walks and potty breaks, fresh water, and plenty of attention. I’m careful about feeding instructions, medications, leash safety, and any behavioral or health concerns you share with me. I also like to know about a dog’s personality, triggers, routines, and preferences ahead of time so I can help them feel comfortable and settled. If I’m caring for a pet in your home, I’m respectful of your space and follow your instructions closely. I’m also happy to send updates and photos so you know how your pet is doing while you’re away.
About: I have been walking dogs and sitting for cats and dogs for over 10 years. Mostly for family friends and neighbors. I love dogs and have lived with a big husky for also over 10 years. I grew up with cats aswell. I have experience walking big dogs that pull and i have even been able to train some dogs. I now live in a house with a big fenced backyard so i would love to host dogs. I work from home aswell so i am always around to take care of them. i work full time from home as an artist. I go on walks everyday and i am always able to give your pet attention! I have a car aswell so transportation is easy. I spend a lot of time in my backyard and would love to play with more animals. It is completely fenced in. I have a fenced yard with lots of space to run. Im already very active and love to go on walks and hikes. I work at home so everyday i am here except for grocery shopping and errands!
“Charlene and her partner were great for beckett! Charlene was very professional, communicative and had a routine going, so i could tell she was very experienced. My dog has separation anxiety but it helped she had a dog that he made friends with and eventually warmed up to them with treats. Highly recommend!”
“I received a lot of communication, videos and pictures from Jonathan. It was clear that our Minnie was being taken good care of and having a good time. This made us feel so happy that we can go out of town and leave her in good hands!”
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!
“Awesome! She wore my puppy out and she was so happy when I picked her up. Her two dogs are also super sweet and Ruthy does an excellent job with all the dogs she sits! definitely an awesome sitter!”
“5 stars all the way! Jeff and his family are wonderful! Our pup is shy and skittish of new people but Jeff and family quickly put her at ease. Even better, I got loads of picture updates. My pup was loved and cared for and had a great stay! My pup will definitely be back!”
