“Ross was awesome! From our initial meeting, he asked all the right questions about the care and personality of my pup. During my pups stay, Ross was great about sending daily photos and updates on how my little guy was managing with my absence. I could see from the photos that my pup and Ross's pup were getting along really well... This left me feeling very comfortable that my pup was enjoying his 'vacation'. Thanks so much Ross! We look forward to Baxter staying with you again soon!”
“Honestly, I'm still trying to figure out what will happen if Lauren is not available for my fur babies. Nylah and Whitney exhibited behavior with Lauren that they truly don't do when I'm not around. It's not just that my babies were cared for they were loved. And trust, animals absolutely will show you if they weren't loved up on. 10/10 recommended!”
“Vanson and his wife Ella were great. They sent me videos and pictures of our dogs having so much fun. Their home is so comfortable and dog friendly. I highly recommend them to take care of your fur babies!”
“We are SO grateful we found Luna! Our usual dog care fell through right before a long out-of-state trip, and we were genuinely considering postponing because our senior dog, Indi, has recently been diagnosed with IBD and needs a specialized diet, daily meds, and a calm, attentive environment. She can get stressed easily in new places, which has previously led to tummy issues and even skin flare-ups — so we were very nervous about leaving her with someone new. From the very first message, Luna was incredibly warm, proactive, and thoughtful. She even offered to set up a meet-and-greet right away before we could ask, which immediately put us at ease. Once we dropped Indi off, it was clear Luna treats animals like family. Her own dog, Jim, also has IBD, so she had first-hand experience and comfort caring for a pup with similar needs. Throughout the two weeks, Luna provided detailed updates every single day — including meals, meds, walks, and yes, digestion reports (very appreciated 😂). She took so many adorable photos and videos that we could see how happy and relaxed Indi was. Our dog walker also commented on how noticeably happier and healthier Indi seemed while staying at Luna’s — her stools even improved (a true win for IBD dog parents!). Communication was flawless, kind, and reassuring the whole time. We felt completely at ease, which is priceless. We would absolutely book with Luna again and recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone looking for a sitter who is caring, attentive, and truly exceptional. Indi came home happy, calm, and healthy — we couldn’t ask for more. 💛🐾”
“Thank you Ashish! It’s not easy leaving your pet with strangers, and Maya is not the easiest dog to handle , but you were very kind and patient with her. Thanks also for the photos and video, it was so nice seeing her at ease in your home. We will definitely use you again in the future.”
“Stefanile is a great sitter. She was incredibly accommodating and patient in dealing with my dog—a rather shy, introverted, and somewhat challenging dog. Given her deep understanding of canine personalities and traits, as well as her extensive experience as a sitter, I was able to entrust Chaco to her care with peace of mind. She sent updates and photos, making communication very easy. Thank you!”
“Ali went above and beyond all services expected from a dog sitter and is someone you can trust greatly to take care of your buddy. She is very kind, accomodating, and takes this job seriously with love! The location is in the heart of Piedmont, very safe and accessible. Nice big yard with lots of room for playtime. I more than trust your dog will be well taken care of and if I ever need a sitter again I will be sticking with Ali.”
“Sally took incredible care of my dog, and she had my dog for a long time (10 days), too! I highly recommend her, and I would definitely use her services again. Thank you, Sally!”
“Maria was great with my poodle mix pita. She sent me updates and pictures. Her house is very clean and tidy. We will be booking with her again. Great experience. Thank you Maria!”
About: I have been caring for dogs and cats since childhood and deeply love connecting with animals. I supported my last dog through her later years and have sensitivity to the needs of elder puppies. I also enjoy the energy of younger dogs and live right near San Pablo park for dogs who like to socialize. I mostly work from home with occasional in person meetings during the week. I am available for pet care throughout the week and can let dogs out to the back yard throughout the day. I live in a quiet but lively neighborhood with lots of great areas to walk and sniff. The back yard is fenced in and allows space to lounge in the sun. There are no other pets or humans currently in the house so it is very peaceful and quiet most of the time. I don't take dogs from more than one household at a time. I check in on the pets I care for regularly and track their emotional as well as physical needs, giving pets and butt scratches often!
“Jeanette is so lovely! It makes it so easy to go away knowing that our labradoodle Chester is in such good hands. She’s extremely communicative and responsible and our dog just loves her! We highly recommend booking with her for peace of mind the next time you need to leave town.”
“Our two little ones seem to have had the time of their lives. They arrived home happy and relaxed, and spoiled with home cooked food. Mariola provided daily pictures and updates. Could not have asked for more.”
“Allora was great! I only have positive things to say, Coco seemed so happy staying with her and her family. Allora sent me frequent updates and pictures which was great! I will definitely be boarding Coco with her again.”
“She is the BEST, I will definitely ask her first if I go on a family trip again, she made my shy puppy feel at home, kept me updated throughout my entire trip. Paloma loved her ❤️ thank you 😊”
“Kolten and Julia were responsive and took excellent care of Dexter. This was our first time using Rover and they made sure it was an excellent one. The sent many pictures of Dexter during his stay. They made the experience very simple which helped us from worrying.”

“Isaiah did a great job checking in on my two cats over a long weekend! He was very communicative, reliable, and my cats seemed to warm up to him quickly! I will definitely plan to use Isaiah again in the future.”
“Merlette was super helpful when my travel got delayed and I needed a local cat sitter. She asked thoughtful questions and dropped in on my pet cat, and administered her medication.”
“Tessa is truly a hidden gem! Not only did she take wonderful care of our cats and shower them with attention, but she also looked after our home and plants beautifully. She responded quickly to our messages, and when we returned, the house was spotless, as if she had never been there. We couldn’t recommend her more highly!”
“Nancy was great with our Gus. Although he is 8 years old, this was the first time he was home by himself for an extended period so we wanted to make sure he got lots of love and visits. Nancy sent us pictures and updates while we were gone. We could tell Gus enjoyed her visits and he was well taken care of.”
“Kyla was professional, courteous, dependable, and took excellent care of my cat,Baxter. She provided a great sense of comfort and peace of mind for me to leave my cat under her care for five days. Twice a day, I received pictures showing me that Baxter was being well cared for. All my directions for his care, including medication, meals, litter box and treats were followed to the letter.For future care of my pet, there would be no hesitation on my part to entrust Baxter‘s care with Kyla. Thank you💕”
“Super easy to work with and great communication, we really appreciate Huyhanna helping us out on short notice to look in on the kitty! Kitty is shy with everyone, but it was great to know she's okay and she's always reassured to have someone stop by. Look forward to working with Huyhanna again!”
About: Growing up I was never much of a cat person, I always preferred dogs for being very energetic and loving, I never owned a cat before. About 6 years ago I found a stray cat in my backyard, she was very shy, and it looked like she was not very well fed. She showed up in my backyard for days so I decided to fed her which she seemed to enjoy. 6 years later, she became the reason why I love cats. Kika can be very serious at times but she is very sweet and loving, she does not like being inside, she enjoys spending time in my garden or under a nice tree shade. 🐱💕
“Kira did a wonderful job taking car of my 2 kitties when I went away for 5 days. My cats are edgy and she really got them to come out of the shells. She send pictures, came to visit them everyday with out failing at the same time. Besides feeding them and clean up after them, She played with them, petted them, and loved on them. I couldn’t have asked for a better caregiver! Kira is definitely the best, and I will use her again without hesitation. Thank you Kira!”
About: I have loved animals since I first learned what an animal was and 27 years into life I haven't stopped! I have 7+ years of dog/cat/house sitting experience and I can administer medications if needed, along with taking care of other typical pet sitting tasks such as feeding, walking, playing, bathing, and of course, offering lots of affection and pets! Currently I’m in school (mostly online) for pre vet-med and working just as a pet sitter so I have plenty of free time to watch over your fur babies! :) I am always willing to personalize my services to best conform to your pets' medical, physical, and emotional well-being, just let me know what specific needs your pet(s) have and I will cater to them!
“This was my first experience using Rover for my cat, and Emma provided exceptional care, consistently updating me during each visit. Her approachable and communicative nature put me at ease while my partner and I were away. I look forward to booking her services again in the future.”
About: We will go on walks around my neighborhood or yours, a walking trail that is close to my home and any dog-friendly parks. I enjoy getting out with the animals I care for to get some fresh air, exercise and have some fun! Whether it be throwing their favorite ball, frisbee or other toy for them to play catch, we will have a blast! I love interacting with my client's fur babies to give them the undivided attention and care they deserve. I also enjoy snuggles with them on the couch. I work remotely 2-3 days a week so i am available to spend the day with your dog in those days. 2-3 days a week I am in the office 4-5 hours a day in SF. I will keep the dog in a safe gated area and will never leave them unattended or off of a leash when i have them out. I love to cuddle, kiss and pet your animal and play catch.
About: I have worked at 2 dog facilities, The Meadows Canine Camp in Santa Rosa and I currently work at the Milo Foundation where I walk and adopt out dogs. I currently have a foster named Grayson (boxer) who is good with small dogs and I also own a small Maltese mix named Swiffer. I love animals and I am very qualified to take care of your pet while you are away. Cant wait to meet them! I work at the Milo Foundation in point Richmond. I normally work Tuesday-Saturday but we will soon be closed for renovations for the month of September. I will be very available to pet sitting and boarding as I will be working from home the entire month of September! While walking, your pets safety is my number one priority and I will make sure to walk in areas deemed appropriate by clients. Having dogs of my own, I understand the importance on keeping them safe when out. I also like to use a harnesses when walking to avoid a dogs collar slipping and possibility of getting loose.
About: pss pss… I absolutely ADORE cats! I have a ton of flexibility within my freelance schedule right now and my 14-year-old snuggle queen of a kitty is super low maintenance. I’d love to help out with providing excellent cat care to anyone who may need it in the area (and within a ~20 mile radius from Crockett, CA or so) as it brings me a lot of joy and I know how difficult it can be to trust others with our fur babies. They’ll be in compassionate, playful, attentive hands! I also provide dog sitting and care for other pets and homes. *I will be unavailable August 29,2026–September 16, 2026 — I am very interested in providing my services prior to this date, please reach out if you’re interested in booking!* Happy to answer any and all questions. Thanks.

“Sara was very helpful from start to finish. I had a last-minute booking and she accepted. She was very accommodating of my schedule for the day, which gave me flexibility in my travel plans.I received sweet photos of my dog Teddy throughout the day. He clearly had a good time and was very relaxed when I picked him up . I would definitely work with Sara again. I appreciated her timely and consistent communication and felt that Teddy was very well cared for.”
About: I grew up as the daughter of a professional dog trainer, so thoughtful, attentive dog care has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. My partner Mitch and I genuinely love having dogs in our home, and we aim to give every guest safe, loving, individualized care. Our sweet 15-year-old dog, Chunk, is a gentle and easygoing host. We also have a cat, so we’re unable to accept dogs with a history of aggression toward dogs or cats. What a stay with us looks like: • Individualized care for puppies, seniors, high-energy, reactive, and special-needs dogs • A comfortable home setting with a secure fenced yard, cozy resting spots, frequent potty breaks, and plenty of companionship • Daily exercise and enrichment tailored to your dog’s interests, from sniff walks and fetch to hikes, puzzles, and light training practice • Extra safety precautions, including a tracking collar during their stay and long leads for safe outdoor exploration • Thoughtful daily updates with high-quality photos and notes about how your dog is doing • Attentive routine care, including medications, post-adventure checks, basic grooming, and close attention to behavior and wellbeing • A fresh send-off, with brushing, ear and paw care, a gentle freshen-up, and washed bedding, blankets, or toys when needed I’m trained in canine CPR and happy to reinforce basic manners while following your preferred training methods. Every guest also goes home with a personalized stay report card with highlights, routines, favorite activities, and a few memorable moments from their visit. Our goal is simple: for your dog to feel less like they’re being boarded and more like they’re staying at a summer camp designed just for them. I work from home so I can be as available as your dog needs. My partner also is home for most of the day, and only works in the evenings so one of us is almost always home. We live surrounded by trails and parks so your dog will have ample adventures during their stay. Every dog will be treated with the same love and care as if they were our own. We have a large fenced yard that they are free to roam, and a cozy home with dog beds everywhere. We allow dogs on couch and bed, though I can maintain any rules you have in your home for consistency. We do also have a cat so we cannot accept any dogs that are in any way aggressive towards cats or small critters.
“Kushram and Family are a wonderful find for dog sitting or doggy day care. Give the initial booking request a bit of lead time, as the confirmation that the day/time works may take up to a day to come through. This time I put in a request 9:30pm on a Saturday, and got confirmation Sunday evening. (I suspect requests are processed daily). The initial booking request was the largest gap we experienced in communication, scheduling the meet and greet by messages was easy - they were very responsive and want to ensure you and your pup will be comfortable with their set up and go over any special needs of the dog. Our elder pup Rick was drawn to Kushram and the whole family even on the meet and greet (I think just his wife and adult nephew), as well the drop off day of, and they were able to make him comfortable enough to eat even on a short visit. Given our short booking (only about 3 hrs) we can't really comment on long term pictures/communication during the visit, but I can say I feel pretty happy that I found some place local where I feel comfortable leaving my dog when I need to go somewhere. They also have some experience with some dog special needs, but can help best when they know about it ahead of time. They were not concerned or put off in the slightest by our pups needs (mostly that he's pretty clingy, can get cold easily, and only has 3 teeth and will only eat small pieces of food, and doesn't love hanging out with other dogs), and described other dogs they had watched with similar or more challenging needs such as dog-sitting a blind dog in a new space. Thank you for taking good care of our pup!”
About: I’ve been working with animals since my teenage years, including 2 years at a pet store and assisting at multiple dog expos starting at age 16. I’ve owned and raised dogs throughout my life—one lived to 17 years old, and I currently have a 3-year-old friendly miniature poodle. I personally house-trained both of my dogs and have strong hands-on experience with daily care routines, including feeding, walking, bathing, nail trimming (for cooperative dogs), and light grooming such as basic haircuts. I’m comfortable managing a structured, calm environment and have experience caring for multiple pets at home, including my two outdoor cats. Pet care fits very naturally into our daily routine. We are a family of six, and I am home 24/7, so dogs will never be left alone for long periods. I have a flexible schedule that allows for regular walks, supervised outdoor time, and attention throughout the day. My large gated property makes it easy to provide safe exercise, and we structure the day to keep dogs calm, engaged, and well cared for. Dogs in my home are treated like part of the family. I provide a calm, structured environment with 24/7 supervision, so your pet is never left alone for long periods. I follow each dog’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, and any special instructions. Dogs enjoy supervised outdoor time on our large, fully gated property, as well as long walks in our safe, dog-friendly neighborhood. Safety is our priority—we introduce dogs carefully, feed separately when needed, and adjust supervision and leash use based on each dog’s personality. Our friendly miniature poodle helps create a welcoming environment.
About: Hi there! My name is Lauren. I have 11 years of pet care experience, along with 2 years of professional pet care experience through a boutique pet care company. During that time, I received training in pet care, first aid, and canine CPR, and gained hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats with a variety of personalities, needs, and routines. My soul-dog, Buster, was by my side for 11 wonderful years before sadly passing away in 2025. I’ve missed having that special furry companionship in my life ever since, and caring for dogs is something that brings me so much joy. I’m excited to provide the same love, patience, and attentive care to your pets that I’ve always given my own. I'm currently working towards my Masters Degree in Social Work, which is fully remote, meaning I am home 7 days a week to take care of your pet. I take pride in providing a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where pets can feel relaxed and at home. My apartment is very pet-friendly, with plenty of nearby flat, open green space for walks, playtime, and fresh air. I’m meticulous about keeping food and water bowls clean and ensuring pets always have fresh water. I’m also very attentive to each pet parent’s instructions and routines, and I’m comfortable administering medication when needed. I have experience caring for puppies and senior dogs, and understand that every dog has their own personality, comfort level, and needs, including dogs who may experience anxiety.
About: I've had multiple pets all my life and seen many into old age, when they need special care. I'm not just looking for the perfect rpretty pet, but I want you to feel confident and at ease with the care and love I will give your furry family member I'm retired so can give full time care to your pet. My yard is large and fully fenced in. the house is pet friendly as well. I am retired so mostly home but do go out occasionally for shopping and other daily activities. I would prefer to crate your dog for my out periods. Also your dogs should be house broken, I will take them out as often as needed for bathroom breaks I will treat all your pets as if they were my own, and hope we can build a long and trusting relationship with each other. If they like pets, cuddles and treats, that's even better!
“Ashish was great! We did a Meet and Greet a few days before so Penny could meet Andy. We met Andy and Ashish’s son - both were so sweet 🥰😍 I would definitely recommend his services for doggie daycare. He sent pics and Penny seemed to enjoy herself in his lovely backyard - it was a nice sunny day.”
“Baoying was great with Louie! She provided playtime and exercise for my very playful pet. I also like the way her pet matches Louie’s energy, Louie is a lot calmer when i picked him up.”
“Thank you so much Stefanie, for meeting me early in the morning & taking such great care of my pup for a full day! I really appreciated the photos and updates. I would absolutely recommend you!”
“I have an anxious senior pup who hasn't spent much time apart from my partner and I since adopting him a few months ago (in large part due to his anxiety). I did a pre-meeting with Zoe to make sure it would be a good fit for the pup and then we completed the booking. While my pup still let me know later in the day he was mad I left him, when I picked him up he was happy and bouncing around, but also perfectly happy to go back and hang with her. I think this was the most positive experience possible for Rick and am hopeful the positive experience might help him towards being less anxious when we leave him in the future (every positive experience helps I hope!). I would and will definitely book again with her as long as she's available and accepts him again! Also to note, she was very flexible with our pick up time which I appreciated - I had mentioned I might be able to pick the dog up early, and then when I was able to I messaged her that day and picked him up 3 hours early to hopefully make it easier on Rick. That for sure saved me some time instead of needing to pick him up and hitting rush hour on my way home. She was also very helpful and provided feedback to me on Rick's behavior at my request so I have a good handle on how his anxiety and overall behavior is progressing as we try to work through it. Thanks again Zoe (and Partner!)! I really appreciate y'all.”
“Jeannette and her family took great care of my very shy and timid dog. It was such a relief knowing that my baby girl was in such caring hands. Would highly recommend Jeanette and her family to take care of your fur babies. Thank you again!”
“First time at Connie’s place was a good one. Teddy enjoyed the large back yard. Connie assured us with several photos of him playing. We will be returning for overnight boarding soon!”

“We were worried about leaving our new puppy for the first time, but Alisha set up a Zoom so we could meet her the day before and it was immediately obvious that she would take great care of our little guy. Then, when we dropped him off, he practically jumped into her arms and made himself at home in the space she has set up which is perfect for doggy guests. She sent us updates and pics throughout the evening. We are very glad to have Alisha nearby for the future. I especially appreciate her depth of knowledge -- she is a great resource for those of us who have limited experience with raising puppies!”

Adventure-ready dog walkers - Port Costa
Prices are estimates per walk for 1 dog. Pricing may vary based on your search and includes a booking fee of 11%.
About: I grew up with animals all my life. From cats and dogs to parrots, mice, sugar gliders etc. I own 2 dogs myself and love them with all my heart. I’m comfortable with different temperaments and ages. I fostered and volunteered at several shelters throughout my life. I love animals and will make sure to take care of yours like my own. I have a flexible schedule and own a vehicle which makes same day bookings a breeze. If you ever need someone to help I’m there :) My dogs are spoiled and loved. I keep them safe and healthy. I would do my best to take care of your pets like you want me to.
“Ilse did great with Xena. She was attentive to Xena’s reaction to other dogs . She kept her under control and calm. Xena was happy to see Ilse when she came. She was on time and was needed for a week after I had hip surgery. Good job.”
“"I couldn't be happier with their service. I was nervous about finding the right walker for my kids pup, but they were incredibly patient and gentle. Fantastic service! They are dependable, trustworthy, and go above and beyond to make sure my dog gets plenty of exercise I will be back in the future”
“Once again, Fioa provided excellent care for my dog..I really appreciate her kind ways and willingness to work with my anxious pup. Fiona is responsible and communicates well.I feel very comfortable with her her respect with my home. I will use her services again.”
About: I offer calm, personalized care in a quiet home where your dog is treated like family, not one of many in a busy boarding facility or a home with multiple dogs. I typically host one household at a time, so your dog gets my full attention, genuine affection, and all the cuddles they can handle. My home is the right fit for friendly dogs who love companionship, walks, and settling into a peaceful routine. I'm especially drawn to dogs who thrive with one-on-one attention rather than the noise and energy of a busy multi-dog environment. I'm certified in Pet CPR, Healing Touch for Animals, and Reiki. And beyond the credentials, I'm deeply attuned to each dog's personality and energy. That attunement is what helps them settle in quickly and feel genuinely at ease. My connection to animals runs deep. I spent five years volunteering at Lindsay Wildlife Rehabilitation Center, working in both the mammal department and wildlife hospital with injured and recovering animals. That experience sharpened my understanding of animal behavior and reinforced something I already believed: animals feel safety before they understand it. My goal is always to create that feeling from the moment your dog arrives! Because I work from home, pets in my care are rarely left alone for long periods and receive plenty of attention, walks, and companionship throughout the day. When pets stay in my home, they become part of a calm and comfortable daily routine. I primarily host dogs from 1 household at a time so each pet receives plenty of individual attention. Dogs here enjoy daily walks, playtime, and relaxed downtime, and I’m home much of the day since I work from home. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality and needs so they feel safe and settled. For drop-in visits or walks in a client’s home, I follow the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, fresh water, walks, litter care for cats, playtime, and companionship. I’m happy to send photo updates so owners know their pets are doing well.
About: I have had dogs since I was 7 and Cats since I can remember. I am happy to assist with pet-sitting, midday care, and walking. I currently have flexible, open availability and would be happy to provide dependable, attentive care for your pets according to their individual needs and routines. I provide attentive, individualized pet care in each client’s home, following the pet’s normal routine for feeding, fresh water, walks or exercise, playtime, medication instructions when provided, litter-box or waste cleanup, and plenty of companionship. I prioritize safety, cleanliness, and clear communication, including updates so clients know their pets are comfortable and well cared for. I do not provide boarding, kennel services, or pet care at my own residence.
“Merlette was so patient with our dog who was a little shy on the first visit. She’s also a great communicator and made the whole process easy. So relieved to have found someone who can walk our dog.”
“If I could give Rod 10 stars I would! His communication is excellent - always prompt with pics and information about their walks. He is courteous, professional, and got along beautifully with our three pups! He is wonderful with our extremely shy little girl - SO patient! This was our first time using Rover and feel we got lucky selecting Rod. Book Rod for your next vacation - we know we will!! 😃😃”
“Jenna has been walking my girl Ellie while my foot is broken and she has been absolute life saver! She’s keeping Ellie safe while making sure she gets the exercise she needs and I couldn’t be more grateful.”
“Emma is such a sweet lady, always on time, very responsible and gave us plenty of updates both photos, videos and texts! Very responsive and easy to talk to. And my dog loved her, she was clearly very excited every morning when it came to the scheduled time we arranged for Emma to pick her Ik and take her in her walk. Dogs don’t lie and my dog was ecstatic to see Emma. We could not have done our trip without her, we’re very grateful and I think we’re going to have to schedule with her more regularly so my dog doesn’t get depressed. If you need someone you can count on to take care of your dog (big or small, my dog is a 65 lbs very active husky), be responsive and always on time - Emma is your person. Book with her before she’s all booked up. It’s not easy finding people you can trust with your pets so I’m truly grateful we found Emma. Thank you!!!!”
About: Hello all! ☺️🐾 My name is Andrea and I am excited to spend time with your fur babies! I have had pets my whole life, I love spending time with them and caring for such beautiful animals. My dog, Benny, passed away in 2024, I had Benny for almost 17 years before he passed, I was devastated after his passing. I still think about him everyday. I took Benny on walks everyday and made sure to dedicate time for him throughout my day. I have not had the heart to get a new dog since Benny but I am still a work in progress and am sure that I will build up the courage to get a new fur baby someday. I’ve spent a few years taking care of family and friends pets and have always enjoyed their company, because of this I have decided to dedicate some time to take care of other fur babies! I love the feeling of being with animals, they bring so much comfort and warmth, these animals are our babies and deserve the world. 💕🐾 I’m excited to get to know you all! 😃 Apart from this I am a full time college student, I was born and raised in the Bay Area, I enjoy nature and hikes! I am currently a full-time college student but I have a flexible schedule Friday afternoon, Saturday mornings and Sunday mornings for those who enjoy going out on weekends. Please reach out for exact times and dates 😊 I want every pet to feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’ll follow your care instructions, give them plenty of attention, and keep you updated! 🐾💕
About: I bring more than 20 years of professional experience in veterinary medicine and animal welfare, caring for pets and supporting the people who love them. My background includes veterinary hospital leadership and many years with the San Francisco SPCA, and I'm also Fear Free Certified. I have extensive experience with pets of all ages, personalities, and needs, including puppies, seniors, anxious or fearful pets, multi-pet households, medication routines, and pets who may need a little extra patience and attention. My Fear Free training helps me recognize signs of fear, anxiety, and stress and adjust my approach so each pet can feel as safe and comfortable as possible. My veterinary background also means I pay attention to the little things. I'm accustomed to noticing changes in behavior, appetite, mobility, energy, or overall wellbeing and communicating concerns promptly. Most importantly, I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else's care. I'll treat your pets like they're my own, follow their routines closely, and make sure you get plenty of updates and photos while you're away. My schedule is currently very flexible, which gives me plenty of availability for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week. I'm available weekdays and weekends and can accommodate morning, daytime, and evening visits. I also understand how important consistency is for pets, so I'll do my best to keep their normal feeding, walking, medication, and bedtime routines intact while you're away. With more than 20 years of experience in veterinary medicine and animal welfare and Fear Free certification, I'm very comfortable caring for pets with different personalities, behaviors, ages, and needs. When caring for pets in your home, I'll follow your instructions closely and treat your home with the same care and respect I'd want someone to show mine. I'll double-check doors, gates, leashes, and other safety details, keep your pet's environment clean, and provide detailed updates and photos so you always know how things are going. I know you're trusting me with two things that matter enormously—your pet and your home—and I don't take either responsibility lightly.
About: I have patience caring for dogs, including end of life for senior dogs and dogs age 1 year and up. This includes bathing, walking, tending to wounds, playing with and taking them along on vacation! I am a college student that is studying to be an accountant. I need a flexible job. Dog walking is a perfect job for me, because I love dogs and spending time with them outdoors. I can play with your dogs, give them long walks, brush their fur, and keep them company with dog play until the are tired and happy.
About: I'm excited to meet new pets and their people! While I'm new to Rover, I'm not new to caring for animals. I have over 20 years of professional experience caring for pets and homes, along with a lifetime of loving animals of my own. Animals have been part of my life since childhood. I've cared for dogs of every size, age, and personality, as well as cats, birds, and other small animals. Most recently, I spent four years living in Hawaii with my own dog, cat, and bird, and have cared for pets throughout the Bay Area, including Marin, San Francisco, Oakland, Contra Costa, and Napa. I'm an outdoor enthusiast who loves mountain biking, hiking, camping, and exploring nature. If your dog enjoys adventure and you're comfortable with it, I'm happy to include longer walks or outdoor adventures tailored to their energy level. I enjoy keeping active dogs both physically and mentally engaged, while always respecting each pet's individual needs and routine. During COVID, while my massage therapy practice was on pause, I got a certification in canine massage, deepening my understanding of canine anatomy, mobility, and comfort. This experience has been especially valuable when caring for senior dogs, anxious pets, and those who benefit from right amount of exercise and a calm, gentle touch. Every pet is different, and I take pride in carefully following your instructions so they feel safe, loved, and at home while you're away. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind, knowing your beloved companion is receiving attentive, experienced care. I've always believed animals are some of life's greatest gifts. To me, they are like guardian angels on Earth. They teach us unconditional love, presence, and joy. It's a privilege to earn their trust and care for them as if they were my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily life. I currently work part-time with a flexible schedule, which allows me to plan my work around the pets I'm caring for whenever possible. I intentionally limit my commitments so I can provide each pet with the time, attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, quiet companionship, or simply keeping their normal routine, I'm happy to adapt my schedule to meet their needs. I understand that consistency helps pets feel safe and comfortable while you're away, and I strive to make their time with me feel as familiar and stress-free as possible. Clear communication is important to me, and I'll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is happy, loved, and well cared for. Every pet is unique, so I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and preferences before you leave. I carefully follow your instructions regarding feeding, medications, exercise, favorite walking routes, sleeping arrangements, and any special needs to help your pet feel safe and comfortable. Whether your companion enjoys long walks and outdoor adventures, playtime, enrichment activities, or simply relaxing on the couch, I tailor my care to what makes them happiest. I believe consistency and patience help pets feel secure while their family is away.
About: Hi I'm Bibiana, a reliable attentive pet sitter with a background as a pet portrait artist. I take a calm personalized approach so every pet feels safe, understood and genuinely cared for. My approach to pet sitting is intentional and detail oriented. As an artist I have spent years closely observing animals - their expressions, energy and subtle shifts in behavior. That trained awareness carries directly into how I care for pets: I notice the small things, responding intuitively and create an environment where your pet feels safe, understood and genuinely cared for. I specialize in providing calm, consistent and personalized care tailored to your pets needs-whether that means engaging playtime, relaxed companionship or gentle approach for more sensitive or senior pets. As a complimentary offering, I create custom pet portraits for clients who would like a meaningful keepsake. This is always optional and never part of the care itself - simply an added creative service available if desired. If you are looking for dependable intuitive sitter who will treat your pet with genuine care and respect, I would love to connect. I am a professional multi-media artist and currently have a flexible work schedule. I am available everyday for morning or evening visits and overnight stays. I am available to stay overnight with your furry friends. I have experience with older dogs and cats. I especially enjoy watching kittens and puppies.
About: I have worked at 2 dog facilities, The Meadows Canine Camp in Santa Rosa and I currently work at the Milo Foundation where I walk and adopt out dogs. I currently have a foster named Grayson (boxer) who is good with small dogs and I also own a small Maltese mix named Swiffer. I love animals and I am very qualified to take care of your pet while you are away. Cant wait to meet them! I work at the Milo Foundation in point Richmond. I normally work Tuesday-Saturday but we will soon be closed for renovations for the month of September. I will be very available to pet sitting and boarding as I will be working from home the entire month of September! While walking, your pets safety is my number one priority and I will make sure to walk in areas deemed appropriate by clients. Having dogs of my own, I understand the importance on keeping them safe when out. I also like to use a harnesses when walking to avoid a dogs collar slipping and possibility of getting loose.

“Ross was awesome! From our initial meeting, he asked all the right questions about the care and personality of my pup. During my pups stay, Ross was great about sending daily photos and updates on how my little guy was managing with my absence. I could see from the photos that my pup and Ross's pup were getting along really well... This left me feeling very comfortable that my pup was enjoying his 'vacation'. Thanks so much Ross! We look forward to Baxter staying with you again soon!”
“Honestly, I'm still trying to figure out what will happen if Lauren is not available for my fur babies. Nylah and Whitney exhibited behavior with Lauren that they truly don't do when I'm not around. It's not just that my babies were cared for they were loved. And trust, animals absolutely will show you if they weren't loved up on. 10/10 recommended!”
“Stefanile is a great sitter. She was incredibly accommodating and patient in dealing with my dog—a rather shy, introverted, and somewhat challenging dog. Given her deep understanding of canine personalities and traits, as well as her extensive experience as a sitter, I was able to entrust Chaco to her care with peace of mind. She sent updates and photos, making communication very easy. Thank you!”
“Ali went above and beyond all services expected from a dog sitter and is someone you can trust greatly to take care of your buddy. She is very kind, accomodating, and takes this job seriously with love! The location is in the heart of Piedmont, very safe and accessible. Nice big yard with lots of room for playtime. I more than trust your dog will be well taken care of and if I ever need a sitter again I will be sticking with Ali.”
“Maria was great with my poodle mix pita. She sent me updates and pictures. Her house is very clean and tidy. We will be booking with her again. Great experience. Thank you Maria!”
About: I have been caring for dogs and cats since childhood and deeply love connecting with animals. I supported my last dog through her later years and have sensitivity to the needs of elder puppies. I also enjoy the energy of younger dogs and live right near San Pablo park for dogs who like to socialize. I mostly work from home with occasional in person meetings during the week. I am available for pet care throughout the week and can let dogs out to the back yard throughout the day. I live in a quiet but lively neighborhood with lots of great areas to walk and sniff. The back yard is fenced in and allows space to lounge in the sun. There are no other pets or humans currently in the house so it is very peaceful and quiet most of the time. I don't take dogs from more than one household at a time. I check in on the pets I care for regularly and track their emotional as well as physical needs, giving pets and butt scratches often!
“Jeanette is so lovely! It makes it so easy to go away knowing that our labradoodle Chester is in such good hands. She’s extremely communicative and responsible and our dog just loves her! We highly recommend booking with her for peace of mind the next time you need to leave town.”
“Allora was great! I only have positive things to say, Coco seemed so happy staying with her and her family. Allora sent me frequent updates and pictures which was great! I will definitely be boarding Coco with her again.”
“Pepper now knows Lanette and Dave as Grammy and Grampy. Just like grandparents do, they spoiled pepper! I’m not sure he wanted to come home🤣 Lanette and Dave are wonderful people and I am so happy to have found them to care for our pup. They were personable, responded fast and sent many pics. I highly recommended them!”
“Wonderful experience w/Jocelyn. Great communication, punctual and our dog seemed to love her. Got nice updates throughout trip. Will call on her again without hesitation.”
“Biswas was terrific. I forgot my dogs bowl and he had bowls and leashes. He sent pics daily so l could see my dog was doing good. He is easy to work with and ready to assist any way he can. We will be using Biswas again.”
“Georgia is exceptional! My 13 year old ragdoll Meow Meow who has medical Needs needed a last minute place to stay. Georgia was attentive to all medical needs and provided a great place away from home. Meow Meow usually takes time to acclimate to a new environment but with Georgia's care she settled right in and had a great time! Highly recommended!!”
“Niraj took excellent care of my senior Labrador Styles recently while I was on a short business trip. The communication with photos was excellent and he took time to play and walk Styles during the day. Niraj was very accommodating and he asked questions to ensure Styles normal routine was not interrupted. Five star treatment! I'll be rebooking with Niraj in the future.”
“Nikki and her family were absolutely amazing with our dog, LeBron, during his week-long stay in their home. They welcomed him like part of the family and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. They sent daily updates and photos, which truly made our day and gave us peace of mind knowing he was being so well cared for. He also had a great time playing with their older dog, Edie, and it was clear he felt comfortable and happy throughout his stay. Their communication was outstanding from start to finish, and you can tell they genuinely love the dogs they care for. They even went above and beyond by being flexible when our travel plans unexpectedly changed and were able to keep him for an extra day. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and highly recommend Nikki and her family to anyone looking for caring, trustworthy, and reliable sitters. We will absolutely book with them again.”
“Stacy was such a great fit for our healer with big feelings! She is knowledgeable, kind and easy to communicate with. Stacy sent pics and updates - and it was clear at pickup that Cali enjoyed her stay.”
“Chris was great. He has a very nice yard and back patio which our labs loved and he took them for walks as well. He kept us updated with great pictures and comments of how everything was going. Would definitely use Chris again!!”
