“Christina was responsive, punctual, and took great care of both my pup and my home, exactly as I expected. She was also incredibly sweet and attentive with my dog. I would happily book her again!”

About: Best Buds Pet Care℠ - Providing peace of mind while you are away. Red Cross Cat and Dog First Aid Certified | Aversive Free | Insured Pet Care Professional New to the app but I’ve been caring for friends’ pets for the last 15 years. I am a full time pet care provider with around the clock availability. I am able to provide overnight supervision of your pet(s) via housesitting bookings or up to three drop-ins/walks per client throughout the day. First time clients, please provide your pet’s vaccination records. I must receive vaccine confirmation prior to any physical contact with your pet. Additionally, all introductions to dogs must take place outside of the home to allow for decompression/emotional regulation time and to gauge comfort/trust levels before entering their home. If you employ aversive methods and/or equipment against your pet I cannot accept your request for pet care services. I kindly ask that you seek services from an alternate care provider, thank you. For the time being I only offer services based in clients’ homes as I have two large dogs in my home. In the future for long term dog care clients, we can explore day care or play dates once trust is established for everyone involved. Until then, I am happy to provide one on one time and undivided attention for your cats and dogs while you are away.

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!

“I never left My Chutney with anyone else but he loved Patrice! Chutney had accidents every day and she didn’t complain I would recommend Patrice highly and will be hiring her for all my future trips …”

“Jesse was so kind to accommodate for my last minute booking. He made sure my pup was taken care of and is a very considerate sitter! Appreciate the regular updates and flexibility. Will definitely recommend him for any future bookings.”

“We’re ecstatic to get Christine for cat pet sitting. Her care is beyond basic. My cat is older and required medication and fluids and Christine handled that very well. She was consistent with her timing and visits. I really enjoyed all the journaling and pictures of their visits while I was away. Christine has a great sense of animals and offers intelligent advice from her experiences.”

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! I am currently transitioning from internship to post doc and have a lot of time on my hands. Flexible in scheduling and happy to help when needed! I always make sure to follow the instructions left by the owner & give lots and lots of care and love to the pet I am sitting!

“Everything appeared to be taken care of to my specifications and my cats were happy and healthy when I got home! Matthew was also very communicative and friendly throughout my time being gone. Will book with him again!”

About: Started dog sitting for friends in college! Love taking them on walks, teaching new tricks, and being a companion. Can’t have a pup of my own so would love to take care of others when time permits. I work full time Monday- Friday but would love take care of you pet when time permits! Open to weekday evening care along with the weekends! Also WFH Fridays so can be flexible depending if I get additional openings. I treat pets with the same care their parents provide. I like to keep them on schedule. Very respectful of boundaries. I live closely to the lake so I envision lots of walks and time to play.

About: I've had the privilege of taking care of many pets growing up; fish, a hamster, guinea pigs, and now my cat. Animals have always had a natural affinity to me and I receive that as the greatest honor. My goal is always to make sure animals feel safe and comfortable around me before I engage with them because I respect their autonomy. As of right now, my schedule is pretty free, so I would have time to walk your dogs or hang out at home with your cats any time! I am always respectful of other people's rules and spaces. I will never make your pet do something they don’t want to do (unless they refuse to follow their parent's rules, of course). It is extremely important to me that they feel comfortable around me when I am in their space.

About: I've been pet sitting/babysitting/house sitting since I was young. I am very reliable and have no problem communicating any problems that arise or questions I may have. I have experience in family/house management as well. Let me know if you have any questions! I look forward to hearing from you! My fiancee and I just moved to the area, so I have lots of free time and availability to give each pet the time they deserve. I am extremely reliable and am willing to work with any schedule and around when you would prefer your pets have attention and their needs taken care of. I understand how important pets are in someone's life and it's a serious responsibility.

“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:)”

“Chloe was incredible! From the moment we met Chloe in the meet and greet we could tell she had the right energy to take good care of our beloved cat. We had to find a sitter last minute to travel for a family emergency and Chloe stepped in and was so communicative, sweet with our sometimes nervous cat, and was so respectful of our home; it put us at peace for the entire trip away.”

“She came on short notice and looked after our sick kitty!”

“Jessica had great communication from our initial booking request and through the whole sit. I could tell my cat Mystery was in good hands! I will definitely book again. Thanks Jessica!”

“Stephanie did an incredible job watching my cat! She provided lots of pictures, videos and detailed updates every day. She was also super helpful grabbing packages, watering house plants and dealing with an unexpected ant issue. Truly so grateful! I strongly recommend her for any pet care you may require.”

About: Hi! My name is Phi and I am an animal lover through and through. Growing up my family always has had dogs, including three Havaneses, two Labrador Retrievers, and one Westie/Yorkie mix. I have a background in dogsitting two Maltese puppies that I took care of for six years total, which provided me with experience on administering oral medication. My experience also includes freelance dog walking and sitting with Wag!. One way that I stand out is that I have also volunteered at my local animal shelter and raised awareness for their adoptable dogs. Other than dogs, currently I own three cats ranging in ages 2 through 5, which has given me a soft spot for both cats and dogs alike. I am so excited for the opportunity to meet your pet through Rover and have a fantastic time with them! I currently work a full-time day shift job, which leaves me with time in the mornings, evenings, and weekends to care for your beloved family member. Daily exercise is important to me, which is always made more fun with a furry friend tagging along! I love adventurous walks, trips to the dog park, and cuddles during rest and recovery. Animals are an important and necessary presence in my life, I am committed to make interacting with them a more common occurrence in my schedule. My approach to pet care is founded in the understanding that I have a relationship to build with each animal that I take in or am trusted to care for. These relationships must be founded in trust, love, and understanding for one another. This means that I work to provide comfort and support during things like medication administration, a shoulder to rest a furry head on and cuddle up to, a string toy or ball to encourage playfulness and exercise, and so much more. I treat each animal I care for as if they are my own, ensuring their happiness and wellbeing comes first.

“My cats had a wonderful time with Tony; even the shy one took to him immediately. He sent me great pics, and I came home to two happy, healthy, well-cared-for kitties.”

About: Hi, I’m Alicia! 🐈‍⬛🐶❤️ I’ve always had a natural connection with animals and have experience caring for both cats and dogs, including feeding, walking, playtime, companionship, cleaning, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable in their environment. I’m currently offering personalized pet care in the Bay Area, with a special focus on cats who may prefer a calm, cozy home environment over a traditional boarding facility. My home is set up with cat-friendly essentials including water fountains, scratchers, climbing spaces, cozy resting areas, toys, and enrichment. I keep my capacity small so each pet gets plenty of individual attention rather than feeling lost in a crowded environment. Before each stay, I like to learn your pet’s routine, personality, feeding schedule, bathroom habits, favorite activities, triggers, medications, and anything else that helps them feel at home. I’m happy to communicate through text, phone, or email to make the process convenient. I understand that pet care needs can come up for vacations, work, moving, temporary housing situations, emergencies, or simply when you need an extra hand. I’m open to discussing both short- and longer-term care depending on your pet’s needs. Whether your fur baby is playful, shy, independent, cuddly, energetic, or somewhere in between, my goal is to make their time with me feel safe, comfortable, and loved. 🏡🐾 I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family member! I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to pet care throughout the day. I’m available for boarding and care on weekdays and weekends, with time for walks, play, feeding, bathroom breaks, companionship, and individual attention. I provide a clean, calm, pet-friendly environment where safety and comfort come first. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, feeding schedule, exercise needs, and any special instructions. I carefully supervise pets in my care and keep their space clean, comfortable, and secure.
