Pet Sitting & Drop Ins in Acorn-Acorn Industrial, Oakland

“Madeline was fantastic with my dear old dog. The photos she sent during her time taking care of him were very thoughtful. He was very relaxed when I returned home, clear evidence that he was well cared for.”

“Thank you so much for cleaning our cats’ unexpected mess and making them happy!”

“Grace did an amazing job with my boys (cats), they warmed up to her quickly and seemed happy and relaxed when I got back after 2 weeks away. Grace sent daily updates and pictures, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away from my babies. She also spent time to keep my cats mentally stimulated by playing with them, and she kept the feeding area and litter box very clean! I highly recommend Grace!”

“Really happy with our first set of visits for a longer-term weekend arrangement! She was attentive to my cat’s needs and pays attention to the little things. When I returned from my trip, my cat was calm & happy and I can tell he was taken care of well. Updates were always timely and she has been very easy to contact when needed/planning etc. which is a something I really needed in a pet sitter and value so so much. She also went the extra mile helping out with monitoring some extra things after a recent health issue he had and am so appreciative of that! We are so happy and relieved to have this great arrangement with a great person, thanks Kaitlyn!”

“These two are amazing. I’ll certainly be a returning customer. I was kept up to date daily with pictures and notes and they went above and beyond. 10/10 !!”

“Sun once again did an amazing job of watching Sylvester! I’ve felt so safe and secure knowing Slyvester’s having a lot of time with them and they even sweetly left a little thank you packet for both him and I! Thanks Sun and I will be booking again!”

“As a busy professional, I'm selective about who I trust with my 6 year old poddle and 3 year old lab. Jennifer has consistently been my go-to caregiver. She's not only reliable but has a genuine love for animals that's apparent in her meticulous attention to their needs. Whether it's her thoughtful updates or the way she manages to keep even my most energetic pup engaged, Jennifer is a true professional who clearly loves what she does. Her exceptional service gives me peace of mind, and I can't recommend her highly enough.”

“Joshua and I have been friends for several years. Since my fiancé and I gotten my mini poodle Olive, Joshua has dogsat Olive multiple times on various occasions. Joshua has been a wonderful caretaker of Olive. Joshua is very active and takes Olive out on walks and hikes every time Olive stays over. I can tell Olive had an exciting time just based on how tired he is every time he comes back from Uncle Joshua's. Joshua is also very responsible. He brushes Olive's fur daily, regularly sends us picture and text updates, and checks in with us with anytime there's a slight change in Olive's behavior. Finally, Joshua is very loving with Olive. When Olive is with Uncle Joshua, he sits on Joshua's lap during work, goes with Joshua everywhere, and sleeps in his bed at night. Olive in return has formed a strong bond with him. He is always happy to see Joshua, and when it's time to go home with us, he quietly whines about leaving his Uncle Joshua. All in all, I can't recommend Joshua as a dogsitter enough. Any doggo would be lucky to spend a few days with Uncle Joshua!”

“Liz is one of the beautiful souls that seems to be able to communicate with animals without words. She literally tunes in to the needs of my dog and her roommate’s dog in ways that I, as a longtime dog owner, often miss. She genuinely cares about both dogs and has taken the initiative of training her roommate’s dog incredibly well just by walking him and patiently expressing what she needs him to do. He’s a young Golden Retriever who used to jump on everyone due to excitement and she has quickly been able to calm him down and correct that behavior. As far as I know she isn’t a dog trainer yet she understood how to communicate with Ranger to consistently listen to her. My dog Nala,, a Pit Bull, also listens to her even though she normally exclusively only listens to me. Liz is one of the few people I fully trust to take care of my dog.”

“John was very timely and good with Hudson. He was very receptive to our information and instructions on Hudson’s behavioral needs. Would 10/10 recommend him to walk your doggie!”

“Antonia is a fantastic with my pups Chick and Ken. She’s always professional and is a great communicator. Antonia makes sure to take my dogs on long walks and give them lots of love. I can’t recommend her enough.”

“Karin has been such an amazing, active and caring dog sitter.She took care of my dog, Mocca, several times and I have never been more than satisfied with her service. She not only follows a regular schedule for her- eating, sleeping and walking, but also trains and brings her to the park. She would also give me updates. She would send me pictures and videos. She also loves baking treats for them. She is an amazing cook. I recommend her!!”

About: After growing up with cats, dogs, hamsters, mice, degus, and hermit crabs, as an adult I fostered relationships with any pets I could at home, with an everlasting passion for giving animals my love and care. It gives me joy to help others with their pets to give them my utmost attention, and I hope to have the opportunity to do this for you! There are preferences but that’s okay because I’m very flexible! Feel free to ask about a particular date or time range, and I’ll accommodate if possible. I prioritize pets’ comfort and safety, keeping their needs in mind first and foremost. I learn their behaviors and body language to anticipate their desires.

“If we could give Tanitsha 50 stars we would!! We adopted lucky about a month and a half ago and he is our first ever dog. He is a senior and is so sweet but definitely has some trauma and anxiety. Pretty shortly after we got him we needed to have someone start dropping in regularly when we were both at work, and we understood quickly it couldn’t be just anyone given his anxiety. Tanitsha has been incredible. She’s able to handle when he shows his fear through guarding or growling super well and calm him down. She was able to really get through to him and help him settle in more than we could have imagined! She always leaves excellent detailed reports of how the drop in went and he’s clearly so happy to be with her. Not only has Tanitsha done a great job every week with the drop ins, but she is an experienced dog trainer as well. We started working with her on training for lucky and OMG over the course of just a couple weeks he is going on longer walks with no resistance, has pretty much stopped his guarding behavior, is getting in the car with ease, can have new people over without freaking out, is being social with other dogs and people, and most importantly is so so much happier now that he’s healing from whatever he was going through before we got him! Tanitsha’s approach is wonderful and helps him build confidence, have clear expectations, and makes him feel safe. She has really taught me and my partner how to be good dog parents and having that continuity of working with her every week makes us really feel supported in this new journey. She has gone above and beyond in all ways and I cannot recommend bringing her into you and your pets life enough!”
