“Tiffany was incredible, from the meet and greet to following the instructions and communication. Loved all the sweet pictures she took of my pup. Definitely recommend, and will be booking again for sure!”

“Sophie has been amazing with my girl Rosie as she adjusts to city life. She has made a huge impact on keeping her calm and helping keep her active by giving her good exercise and working with to stay calm and focused while encountering squirrels, other dogs and loud noises on their walks. I have noticed such a change due to Sophie's interventions. Sophie is prompt, communicative and kind. A one of a kind! Rosie adores her!”

About: I’ve always enjoyed having furry companions. I look forward to providing care and love for your pet while you’re at work or out of town. I love caring for dogs as well as cats. I have a very flexible schedule and am able to attend to your pets at any time. Day or night, I am available and happy to help. Caring for a pet requires love, responsibility, and attention to their needs. I will ensure that your pet is taken care of as you would care for your pet while you’re away.

“Manuel was not only a bright and kind soul, but to know that he took my dog Terk’s recovery from a dog attack very seriously and making a point to tell me how much he loved my dog when he brought him back home really warmed my heart. Will definitely hire Manuel again to take care of my precious baby ☺️”

“Jesse was amazing with my dog, Roland. I appreciated how well he treated Roland when we greeted him and was very good with communication. Can’t wait to book Jesse again, and would use him for boarding my animal as well!! Thank you!”

“Shirley is wonderful. She took great care of my dog Java on short notice this morning. Java has been in training for leash reactivity and Shirley picked up exactly how to work with her very quickly. She is kind and really appreciate animals from what I can tell. Highly recommended”

About: I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs since the day I was born! My family has raised seven different breeds, including Corgis, Border Collies, German Shepherds, and Rottweilers. I’ve always been actively involved in their daily care, from feeding and walking to playing and making sure they get plenty of exercise and attention. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and energy levels, and I understand how to keep dogs happy and active even in an apartment setting. My apartment building has its own dog park on the third floor! I’m home all day five days a week, so your pup will have plenty of company and attention. I typically prefer three walks a day and can adjust to your dog’s individual needs and routine. I’ll treat your furry friend like family! I’m a college student with a flexible schedule! I’m home all day five days a week, so your pup will have plenty of companionship, playtime, and attention. On my two busier days, I have classes from 8 AM to 5 PM. I typically prefer taking dogs out three times a day, but I’m happy to adjust walks, potty breaks, and exercise based on each dog’s individual needs. I love spending time with dogs and making them part of my daily routine! I live in a comfortable, pet-friendly luxury apartment building with a dedicated dog park on the third floor and 24 hours security! Having grown up caring for dogs of different sizes and breeds, I understand the importance of providing a safe, clean, and welcoming environment. I make sure every dog gets appropriate exercise and a attention that feels familiar to them. I’ll always follow your feeding instructions, respect your dog’s habits and preferences, and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident your furry friend is in good hands!

“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: I'm based in downtown Oakland and am available to walk (30 or 60 minutes), sit, and/or board any day of the week at this time. I'm experienced with senior dogs, puppies, dogs of various sizes and temperaments, as well medicated pets. I work part time from home with considerable flexibility in my schedule. Dogs have been a part of my life since I raised and trained Herman, a Rottweiler, from puppyhood while I was in high school. As an adult, I fostered Jedi, a Pittie–Boxer mix, for a year and shared eight wonderful years caring for Frankie, my beloved senior puggle, with my partner. Although Jedi and Frankie have recently passed and are now foraging and feasting in heaven, I remain an honorary step-parent to several dogs. Friends have trusted me to walk and care for Esco, a Frenchie–Pittie and lovable bundle of nerves; Mort the pug, an adorable narcissist; Pretzel, a German Shepherd who can outrun and outsmart anyone at the dog park; and Ryordan, a sweet, snaggle-toothed senior Chihuahua. These experiences have made me comfortable caring for dogs of different sizes, ages, energy levels, and temperaments—including anxious and senior pups. I take their walks, meals, playtime, comfort, and naps as seriously as my own. I would love the opportunity to give your pup plenty of attentive, dependable care—and, experience suggests, they’ll soon love me back. I currently have considerable autonomy in my schedule. I'm available to walk, care for, or keep your pup company anytime after 10 AM most days. I live on the ground floor of a Victorian and have small fenced backyard where your dog can sniff around, play, and catch some rays.

About: I’ve taken care of both dogs and cats since I was a child! I grew up with 2 beautiful pitbulls, 1 chihuahua, and 1 cat — so I am well versed in pets of all sizes. I now have my own sweet kitten Calliope, who I rescued at only 2 months old. I have experience in pet-sitting for family and friends here in the Bay Area, and I am so excited to bring my years of experience to the Rover community! I live in Downtown Oakland, and currently work from home in research! I have plenty of time during the day on breaks to care for your fur baby, and often have availability in the evenings on weekdays. As a cat mama myself, I know the amount of trust it takes to leave your pet with a caregiver while you are away. I take great care to learn everything your pet needs to be comfortable and safe, and treat all as if they are my own. I am knowledgeable in young kitten care, cat enrichment activities, crate training, safe walking practices, and much more.

“Our first walk with Akiko was great! She asked questions to make sure she best understood how to walk with Sully. Sully was immediately comfortable with Akiko and we are excited for our next walks.”

“Laurel was awesome. She was a real life saver! And wonderful with Indiana. He had a great time and she was very attentive to him. She was also great at asking about me for any information that I hadn’t provided. This made me incredibly comfortable with him inher hands I knew that she was be cautious but she was also attentive and invested in him having fun while I was gone!”

“Shelly was super reliable and sweet to my dog Mazzy! Would def hire again!”

About: *I only board pets from one home at a time and do not own any pets myself!* I love to jog around Lake Merritt, and I'd be happy to take your fur baby along for a run! I've cared for dogs and cats, healthy and sick, with very specific dietary restrictions and activity needs. I wish I could have my own pet, but since I travel pretty often, this is the next best thing. :-) I’m a Product Manager with a hybrid work schedule. Rest assured, I can easily get from work to home on in-office days for walks/drop-ins if needed. I also work at a dog friendly office. I am available most days for drop-ins 2x/day. On weekday evenings, I typically go on runs (with/without dogs!). Expect many photos of your fur baby while you're away! I'm happy to drop in to check on food, water, litter (for cats), and take your pup on walks. I am very detail oriented, so if you have very particular instructions regarding diet or preferences while outside, you can trust me to follow them. For boarding, I have bowls for water and food as well as doggy waste bags. You would need to provide their food, treats, toys, (litter for kitties), and anything else to make their stay more comfortable!

About: I've grown up with big dogs and am now a dog and cat mom. Before my dog I boarded friends' dogs with me, watching them while they were away. My big dog is from the shelter and is fearful, so I have experience with shy shelter dogs, training, and managing their triggers. I also walk others' dogs. My schedule is flexible and is different depending on the day of the week. Communication is key , but I will try to make things work. At clients' homes I will follow their instructions and communicate any questions. I make sure the doors are locked when I leave, and try to be careful entering so animals don't potentially run away. Depending on instructions or pet temperaments, I will observe and work with them for enrichment and socialization needs. I make sure there is enough water in the bowls and feed as needed. For cats, I clean the litterboxes. They will not be in my home since I have pets.

“Absolutely fantastic dog walker! Jessica is great with my animals, always showing kindness and care. Punctuality is never an issue; they arrive on time without fail. Communication is a breeze, making it easy to connect and share updates. I feel completely trustworthy leaving my pets in her hands. Highly recommend”

About: I have work with dogs my entire life, but currently I run a small dog daycare/boarding facility at my home with my husband so our sole focus is caring for our pups and we will happily give your pup all our love and attention! I’m responsible, respectful and very organized which allows us to run a safe and stable home environment for each one of our dogs. I’m available daily for dog walks, daycare and/or boarding. My current small daycare group is about 3-5 regular dogs that come on different weekdays. I’m a firm believer in clear, calm communication with any dog that I am working with and I only use positive reinforcement. My yard and entire property is fully fenced with a 6ft wood privacy fence and there is an extra gate between the front and back yards for extra safety. I’m available pretty much anytime for dog walk or boarding and I currently run a small group dog daycare in my home with my partner between the hours of 7:30am and 5:30pm Monday to Friday. My current group of regulars (that come varying weekdays) includes extremely well socialized dogs of all sizes most of which are between 3 and 6 years old. It’s a great environment for a dog to build social skills and confidence in a calm, well adjusted pack. I live in West Oakland (very close to the Bart station!) and my home and yard are very secure with a 6ft tall redwood fence surrounding the entire property. My yard is pretty large and great for off leash fun as it’s completely safe and secure. I live only with my husband and our two very friendly Cavalier King Charles Spaniel who loves every dog they has ever met. Oliver even has a way of making dogs that are usually not dog friendly play as if they were a puppy - it seems to be his super power! While Opal is just a love who is always ready for fun in the yard or cuddles on the couch.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs my whole life within my family but I’ve also taken my own path on raising puppies from the liter of my own dogs in my parents home having babies. As I’ve gotten older, I’ve taken in two dogs from the streets and have been raising them since one month old. I work for myself so any time I’d need to accommodate for your pups needs I can do that ! I just want to be of convenience for the dog parents because I know how hard it can be managing your life with your fur baby. I have crates if preferred to be used but I also have my own babies that I can bring over to spend time with your fur baby so they don’t feel alone or left out. My babies love other dogs, they are so playful and fun !
