House Sitting in Alameda

“This was our second time booking with G’la, and once again, she absolutely knocked it out of the park! She took care of our dog Finn and cat Tuna while we were in Mexico for our wedding, and knowing they were with someone they already loved made all the difference. Our boys adore her! It’s clear they feel safe, spoiled, and totally at home in her care. She kept us updated with sweet photos and thoughtful check-ins, and we came home to two very happy pets (and a clean house!). G’la is trustworthy, kind, and just really gets animals. We wouldn’t leave Finn and Tuna with anyone else. Five stars, every time!”

“He followed all of my instructions to a T and was a great house guest. I really appreciate how fast he communicated with me throughout the process. My dog normally barks at people and his calm presence was a nice fit to keep Kuta calm.”

Linor V.

“Diana was amazing! We have two senior neurotic terriers and she was great with them. Great communication, sent us pictures daily, and the dogs had a great time!”

Monica H.

“Lady loves Melina! Melina is very friendly and relaxed, our puppy Lady is very comfortable with her, and she’s also very knowledgeable which is great for new puppy parents like us. Thanks Melina!”

“Dane was phenomenal with my dog and cat. He was patient, thorough and an excellent communicator. He gave my dog lots of walks. Would highly recommend!”

“Qishu was fantastic! She was so communicative and easy to work with, she made the time to meet me/our puppy first so we all felt good about the set up, she sent great updates that showed he clearly had the best time hanging out with her!”

Amy S.

“Awesome job! Kept in touch with text and photos and was available at the last minute to watch our pup. She made a point of making time to visit and meet him and us before the stay, and was incredibly warm during our meeting.”

“Sasha was so patient and wonderful with our 7mo large breed puppy while staying with him overnight for 3 nights. She was not only very attentive to him, but also upheld all my asks for caring for him.”

“Meshaal was a wonderful dog and house sitter! He has a calm demeanor and is very professional. He took excellent care of our senior dog who has some health needs and took care of all his medications with no issues. He also promptly responded to all our check in messages. Our dog loved Meshaal and and was crying when he left! Meshaal also left our house better than we left it. Looking forward to rebooking with Meshaal again in the future. Would definitely recommend Meshaal to others!”

Jacqueline E.

“Anais has watched our dog three times now, and we couldn’t be happier. She has excellent communication, provides regular updates, and takes incredible care of our senior pup with complex medical needs. We always return to a clean home, which is such a thoughtful touch. Anais is a wonderful dog sitter - we highly recommend!”

“Elise came highly recommended by a trusted friend, and she did not disappoint! She was great with my two pit bull mixes, who warmed up to her immediately, and she dealt with their anxiety and other quirks like a true pro. I came home to happy pups and a clean house. Couldn’t ask for better. Would hire again and recommend 10/10.”

About: With 10+ years of animal care experience — including 4 years as a veterinary assistant — I’m especially experienced with seniors, anxious or shy pets, and those needing medications or extra TLC. I’m reliable, calm under pressure, and treat every pet like my own. Providing care for pets fits naturally into my lifestyle — my schedule is intentionally flexible so I can be available when your pets need me most. Whether you need help during long workdays, weekend trips, or last-minute schedule changes, I’m happy to accommodate a wide range of needs. Let me know what your pet’s routine looks like — I’ll do my best to match it, so they feel safe, loved, and right at home while you’re away. Within the client's home, I do everything I can to make their pets feel safe, seen, and loved. I know how important it is to maintain their routine and environment, especially for pets who thrive on familiarity. I take time to build trust, go at their pace, and make sure they feel comfortable with me in their space. Whether it’s a quick drop-in, extended visit, or overnight stay, I’m respectful of both your home and your pet’s boundaries. I always follow instructions carefully, provide updates along the way, and make sure your pet is happy, secure, and well cared for while you’re away. For the health and safety of your pet, I kindly ask that clients provide their own grooming tools — including brushes, combs, nail clippers, styptic powder, and any other essentials your pet is familiar with. Using your pet’s personal tools helps prevent the spread of bacteria, and ensures a safe, and hygienic experience. Your pet’s safety and your peace of mind are always my top priorities.

“Heather was great! I needed to find an overnight sitter on short notice due to a family emergency. Heather met with me that day and started sitting the next. The pictures and vids that she sent let me know that at least my dog was happy and well cared for during what was a hard time for me. Some of those pictures are frame-worthy. I strongly recommend Heather if you're in need of a sitter. She will certainly be at the top of my list.”

“Ashley was amazing with my two cats. I was confident that they were well loved and taken care of while I was gone. Will definitely book with her again!”

Hailey L.

“Vivian was very sweet and Javi was very relaxed with her. He can be a pretty high stress dog when we are away but he seemed to have really enjoyed his time relaxing with Vivian. Thank you!”

About: I have taken care of friend's pets since I was very young. I myself have had nearly every pet under the sun! I love spending time with animals, and I also love helping people out. Life can get in the way of quality pet care, so when life gets in the way, I'm there to help! I am available, tentatively, every day to take care of your beautiful pets, and I accept last-minute requests whenever possible! Please check my calendar for additional information on my availability. I am very conscientious of your privacy, boundaries, and instructions when I am in your home- I consider the client's needs to be equally as important as the pet's!

“Diana took excellent care of my pup, Luna, during a long trip this summer. She kept me posted with photos and descriptions of their adventures and she was careful to check in with me whenever she had a question about Luna’s care. Diana left my house clean and tidy and even gave my pup a bath! I would definitely recommend Diana’s services and I hope to hire her again in the future.”

“Thank you, Janna for taking such great care of our two dogs while we were out of town. First, I’ll share that these two dogs aren’t always the easiest. One is super shy and skiddish with new people and the other is 16 with a lot of health limitations and needs. Janna was kind, patient and loving with our pups. She took the time to get to know their (and our!) needs, asked thoughtful questions and built immediate trust. She provided wonderful updates and photos throughout her stay and both our pups and our house were left in great condition. Because of her I was able to travel with peace of mind, knowing our dogs were in good hands. I definitely recommend Janna to anyone looking for a kind and responsible sitter. Thanks so much 🙏🏻”

“Wendy did a wonderful job watching our one year old Great Dane and our two cats while we were out of town for some days! Would highly recommend her to anyone looking for dog walks and house sitting.”
