Dog watcher
We recently moved to North Berkeley and are looking for someone to watch our dog when we travel (no plans to travel at this time but we tend to travel a lot last minute so I’d like to find some people in advance). He’s a 13 year old golden retriever, very friendly and well behaved, getting old so he lays around a lot. In the past we have taken him to someone’s house where he has been accepted as a part of their family while we were gone (this person did allow other dogs so she would have several at a time). He gets along well with other friendly dogs.
I am open to other arrangements as well if the price is reasonable. Anyone have any recommendations?
Thanks!

Have you ever looked at Rover? It's an app and I've had really great luck with it. You can find people to stay at your house or bring your pets to them. You can read ratings from other Rover users and everyone on there is insured. I have a golden retriever too and know how precious they are!
Brenda Dunn is a great dog sitter and walker in Berkeley, Albany and El Cerrito. She gives lots of quality time to each critter. You can reach her at biniwin [at] hotmail.com.
I have used rover.com to find a dog sitter for my almost 11-year-old pooch. The dog sitter was great. She stayed at my home and texted regular updates and pictures about my dog. You can choose to bring your dog to the dogsitter's home or have the sitter stay at your home. The service provided care for pets throughout the Bay Area. I think it may even be a national company. Each sitter sets her/his fee. A complimentary meet and greet is usually available. I will be using this service again.
Hi there! I live in North Berkeley as well, and our dog sitter moved away. We are also looking for someone who we can potentially swap with. We'd be up for a trade?? We have a 2 year old golden doodle mix. She's very sweet and friendly- loves other dogs and adores kids and all humans. Being 2, she still needs her daily exercise, but is otherwise easy.
Let me know if you'd like to chat!

My amazing nanny Silvia Rissman does dog sitting as well. She has a friendly, sweet yellow lab and a big backyard. My dogs always stay with her when we go away and they're treated just like family. I trust her 100% with my fur babies and my human babies! She lives near Pt Isabel too. You can find her on Rover.com or email babysil [at] aol.com (babysil[at]aol[dot]com).
