Pet Sitting & Drop Ins In Oakland Airport

About: I've worked and met with cats and dogs of all different personalities! I've always enjoyed volunteering at animal shelters, as well as having a passionate interest learning about animal care. I believe there is no "bad" dog or cat, and I seek to continuously understand and respect their boundaries. As someone who has grown up with an anxious and reactive dog, I seek to create an environment of trust and safety for your pet. I will do my utmost best to give my full undivided attention and care to your friend. My priority will always on your pets first. I just graduated college so I'm very much available all week while I search for a more stable job. I wake up quite early as well so my hours to pet sit and walk are very flexible! I know that for some anxious doggies/kitties being alone for an extended period of time can be stressful. I can offer continuous full day care for your baby! We can definitely discuss a plan to see what works for both of us. To create trust and safety between you and your pup/kitty and I. I can schedule a day to meet in person beforehand too! This is completely free and optional, it is just in my best interest to create a comfortable space between all of us. Through this I am able to better understand your pet, as well as understand your personal and home boundaries. After meeting, you can let me know at any time before the sitting/walking date if you would like to work with me! I'll always try to be quickly available for contact in case you'd like to let me know of anything. As I know the anxiety that comes with leaving your furbaby in the care of someone else, I am able to send updates, pictures, and even video calls. Any and other accommodation requests are welcomed! I value maintaining good communication and safety so feel free to let me know what is most comfortable for you!

“Nicole communicated and sent a photo of my cat every day I was out of town. When I had an ant invasion, she was able to find and set out the ant traps I remembered I had, which successfully distracted the ants away from the food and water bowls. My cat often doesn't love to be around strangers, but she very quickly warmed up to Nicole as soon as they met. She was great!!”

About: Hello there, my name is Emma and I am a Bay Area native. I moved back to the Bay in 2024 after I started organic, regenerative, diversified livestock farming in 2020. I gained a great deal of experience and knowledge in animal husbandry and land stewardship, all while falling in love with the animals. I focused mostly on the dairy cows, where I became the assistant dairy manager. There were, of course, farm dogs and cats, and I was the main puppy care person (feeding both mama and puppies, taking mama on walks, ensuring safe birth care, etc.). Now that I am back in the area, I want to continue being around animals and am eager to care for your furry creatures! I am currently working part-time, roughly three days a week, typically Wed-Fri, for a maximum of six hours per day, so I have ample time to be with and take care of your pet(s). I am not a loud person, so I won't frighten animals. I enjoy both relaxing and spending time with animals and going out into the world on walks to play and exercise. I have a set sleep and wake schedule, and an adaptable one at that, so your animals won't get thrown off theirs. I am happy to stay with your pet(s) at your house so ensure their maximum comfort while their person/people is away!

“Marlene just did the first drop in visit for our two dogs. She was very communicative, punctual, and made sure to secure the house when she left. Plus it was a very rainy day, and she got the dogs all cleaned up when they came in from the yard. Glad we found a reliable person.”

About: Take care of dogs part time for friends for many years. I have formed special bonds with them and love to see their excitement when they come over. No one throws a party for you when you get home like a dog. I love training puppies and taking them for walks and playing with them as well. I work/consult from home, occasionally need to leave for a couple hours to go to the gym or the store. I’m pretty active and like to go on daily walks. I’m willing to come over and take your dog out for a walk if they are comfortable with me doing so. If you’re able to bring the dogs to my home for an extended stay, I will provide a loving safe environment for them, with frequent potty breaks and one to two long walks per day. I’ll follow your instructions on what is best for your pet.

“Sarah was excellent! So kind and caring. They really went above and beyond. They even took the time to earn the trust of my shy cats! Highly recommend :)”

“Maricruz was amazing! She took fantastic care of my two free-roam bunnies. One of my bunnies is really shy, but he immediately felt safe around her and connected with her. Maricruz sent lots of photos and great updates, which made me feel totally at ease while I was away. She kept everything so tidy and clean. I highly recommend Maricruz!”

About: Been the primary source of training and exercise for my family’s dogs since I was 13. With training large breed dogs, specifically Rottweilers and various rescues. I have a lot of experience with larger willful breeds, but also have had a few years of smaller fluffier breeds like French poodles. I am currently the primary caregiver of my son and so taking him and Sierra for walks and play dates is ver much part of my day. I have a fenced in yard for my 3 year old Rottweiler but take longer walks along Lake Chabot on the regular. She is an inside dog and has been trained to be very friendly as I have two elderly cats who are decidedly not friendly towards her. That said when we are not home I have seen the cats snuggle the dog via the doggy cam!

“Leo was wonderful with Olaf! He came for a walk and a hang out while I was out for a very long two days of a conference and Olaf took to him right away. He was flexible with our needs and very communicative. He checked in with me before and after his check in and Olaf was very appreciative of the attention. I'd be more than happy to book him again when we need someone to look after Olaf. Thanks Leo!”

About: I had a dog for 15 years and a cat for 2 years, giving me experience with pets at all stages of life. They are very special and I have a deep passion for caretaking, one that extends to your pets! I can also administer medications if needed. I am a student at UCSF on summer break. I have availability most days—weekdays and weekends, just need a few days notice! I am also a night owl so I can watch your pets well into the evenings! I have a fenced backyard and live in a dog-friendly neighborhood. I love going on long walks around here solo, and a pet companion would make that even better! For cats, I can also take them on walks (if they’re those types of cats haha) or can just stay inside and play with toys.
