“Lilly was a wonderful sitter for our 6-month-old puppy. She sent updates during and was very responsive in planning. She helped our puppy and by the end you can tell our dog loved spending time with Lilly. Thank you!”
2. Chanakarn & Jakree V.
“Chana and Jake were very flexible with arranging care for Loki. Loki is a new rescue dog and still quite anxious, so they recommended that we try a day care session first. They helped us arrange a last minute day care session with Loki. They were able to accommodate my wife's inability to drop him off, and they were very careful about Loki's first time spending time away from home.”
3. Eiko S.
“Eiko and her family were incredibly kind to our senior pug, Gus. They were so thoughtful to arrange a meet and greet beforehand, and send us pictures and videos during his stay. We will definitely work with Eiko again- simply outstanding care!”
4. Tracey N.
“Tracey is such a kind and welcoming sitter for Walden. Her dog Opal and Walden have started to get along more and more each time I drop him off there. There is a great dog run/play area on a rooftop patio at Tracey’s place that Walden LOVES to run around and soak the sun on. I’ve left him there now 3-4 times and he’s always happy and healthy when I pick him up.”
5. Christine N.
“Captain Ruby had a wonderful time in doggy day care with Christine and Aimee yesterday! She immediately felt comfortable with them and their sweet dog Wednesday. They took Ruby on a hike and cleaned her up afterwards, including a tick check which I really appreciate! They showered her with love, and are clearly very responsible with the dogs they care for. We did a meet-and-greet beforehand to make sure that Ruby would be a good fit. This also made Ruby more comfortable when I dropped her off for daycare; she was so excited when she realized we were back at Christine and Aimee's house. They also have a great enclosed outdoor space at their home. I will absolutely book again, and give my highest recommendation!”
6. Francesca K.
“Francesca and her husband are absolutely incredible - definitely dog whisperers. We needed someone to watch our dog Pebble over the holidays and Francesca came to the rescue. You can tell how much they truly love and adore dogs just from the initial conversation. When we went for a visit our dog felt right at home as their house is basically specifically designed with dogs in mind. She also walked through all of Pebble’s preferences in long detail before we set up the dog sitting officially. It’s clear she has A LOT of experience with dogs - annd importantly, just truly loves them. For the week we were gone, Pebble got so much activity, attention, and love that she didn’t want to come home! They took pebble on multiple long walks everyday, figured out her likes/dislikes in terms of play, and showered her with love. Francesca kept me in the loop the entire time and ensured Pebble was comfortable at all times. They also make sure not to take too many dogs at one time and do everything to make the dogs are happy. I will most certainly be leaving Pebble with Francesca again. We feel so lucky to have found such an incredible place for our dog.”
7. Neia P.
“From Neia’s convenience being in the local Oakland community, to providing Rhonda & me with education, love, understanding and support in a last minute need of a sitter, we are so glad to have found a regular sitter in Neia giving us a GREAT first Rover experience.”
8. Aman H.
“Aman was excellent with Deuce. He came back happy, excited, and ready to play. He sent me a pic of Deuce while in his care, and gave me updates during his time there. I’d definitely book with Aman again. He was pleasant, polite, and kept me updated. Great vibes all around.”
9. Alfredo C.
“I didn’t actually meet Alfredo when I dropped my puppy at his house, but his wife was awesome and he’s been super responsive and professional. My puppy spent the day with them and came home happy and clearly well cared for. I had never left him with anyone before, and Alfredo was very compassionate and reassuring!”
10. Michelle K.
“Michelle was wonderful and understood the needs of our very energetic 5-month-old puppy. She's very responsive and kept us updated through out the day as well! Will definitely rebook again :)”
11. Jakree C.
“Jakree is consistently gentle and caring for my puppy, Grace, and fosters an environment for her to play with other dogs, which she LOVES. I can tell that Grace is happy and feeks nurtured and safe when she is with Jakree.”
12. Winne L.
“Let me tell you, Winne's a rockstar when it comes to looking after her pup, Bella. Seriously, Bella's like the poster child for well-behaved dogs, and Winne deserves all the credit for that. She's trained Bella herself, and you can see the love and effort she's put into it. It's clear Winne's got the magic touch when it comes to raising a happy and obedient pooch like Bella.”
13. Alexandra N.
“Alexandra is great! Happy dog, loving environment, and great awareness of doggo’s needs!”
14. Jennifer & Jordan L.
“Jennifer and Jordan were amazing! Took such good care of Taro and updated me throughout the day through text. He wish he could stay for longer!”
15. noni p.
“I recently got my first dog and was a bit nervous putting him in doggy daycare for the first time. He also has separation anxiety and that didn't help my nerves. Noni was super kind and made me feel comfortable right away. Her two dogs are sweet and during the pet sitting she kept me updated with how my dog was doing and sent me pictures. All of this helped ease me and my dog loved her. She was able to ease his nerves and make him feel comfortable. I'll definitely book with Noni again because I know she'll take good care of him!!!”
16. Veysel B.
“I was so grateful that Veysel agreed to watch Milo so quickly and with late notice. I received updates throughout the day, which was is always reassuring when leaving him with a new sitter. Veysel was ready to greet us in the morning with his dog, and it was great to see they got along so quickly. Milo seemed to have a great day with him.”

18. Iris G.
“I’m a working professional with a very busy and sometimes unpredictable schedule and having a good dog walker/sitter is a MUST! Iris has been my dog’s (Olive, a poodle mix) walker and sitter for over 3 years. Iris is FANTASTIC with my dog and they have formed the sweetest relationship! Iris has saved my butt on quite a few occasions when I needed a dog sitter in a pinch and she’s always quick to respond. Her professionalism, timeliness and great connection with my dog is one of the reasons I continue to book her for dog services. Thanks, Iris for all your help!”
19. Juan & Camila M.
About: Hello fellow pet lovers! Juan & Camila here. We both graduated from UC Berkeley a few years ago (Go Bears!) and have always had a great passion and love for all animals. My journey with animals began when I was just 10, growing up with two incredible dogs: Mack, a loving Golden Retriever, and Spot, a playful Husky. Their companionship taught me so much about caring for pets with different personalities. My girlfriend and I had the amazing opportunity to foster two adorable kitties for 6 months – it was an absolute joy! We also had the wonderful experience of caring for three Alaskan Malamutes for a month. As active individuals, we ensure that your pets are not just cared for, but also entertained and happily tired by bedtime! Recently, we've started dog-sitting for friends and realized how much we love doing this. We're excited to open our hearts and home to more furry friends. Whether they're kitties or puppies, all pets are welcome here! My girlfriend and I both work from home so we are happy to take care of pets any day of the week! We are both pretty active and enjoy walking around Lake Merritt. Typically try to walk dogs around 8am or 3-6pm We're excited to offer a cozy spot for your pets at our lovely apartment near Lake Merrit in Oakland. Our apartment building has a nice indoor patio where dogs have plenty of space to run around. We're all about having fun with pets and we'll be around all day to make sure your dogs or cats get the care and attention they need. Looking forward to some great times with your pets!
20. Yeva M.
“I’ve known Yeva for more than a decade. She is very kind to animals and she’s an awesome dog mom. She adopted her dog Willow after her previous parents surrendered her to the shelter. Willow had behavioral issues and she would bark on people and other dogs. Yeva insisted on keeping her and she devoted herself to training her and finishing her socialization. She had a lot of progress and is much more well behaved and friendly know thanks to the work Yeva put into her. If I were a dog person, I’d trust my dog to Yeva without a doubt.”
