Pet Sitting Alameda

About: I have been around dogs and cats since I was born, always finding a comfort in them and I think them in me. I am very patient and calm, and I understand how to handle high maintenance pets. I am currently living at my childhood home working odd jobs while I save up cash to travel and eventually move to San Francisco. I have a very flexible schedule with little other commitments right now. My childhood dog recently passed on so I am missing the animal life a bit. I've spent 14 years caring for dogs of every size and temperament — from high-energy puppies who need structure to older dogs who just want a calm, steady presence. I'm comfortable with feeding schedules, oral medication, leash walks, and playtime, and I treat every dog in my care like my own. Reliable, patient, and genuinely happiest with a dog by my side.

About: Owner of English Lab for 5.5 years and she is my World. Got her at 3 months. Life Changer. She makes everyone around her (me included) feel like the most important person in the World. I also grew up with an American Lab which I cared and loved for, for 13yrs. My family got her when she was just a puppy at a year old (I was 13) and she lived to be 13yrs when she passed (I was 26). She is the reason I started to really love dogs. I’ve also volunteered at the Oregon Humane Society quite a bit over the past 5yrs That has been a very rewarding experience. I currently work Fridays-Mondays in the medical field and have a lot of free time on my days off. I usually take Millie, my Lab, for a 2hr walk in the surrounding neighborhoods and try to get her down to the river once a week to swim. It’s by far her favorite activity and she’s a master swimmer. I live in an apartment with my dog and care for her like a child. Because let’s be honest. She is a child. She gets whatever she needs and so will every dog I care for on a daily basis.

“Raven took it slow with Molly on her first visit, gave Molly time to smell things out and wander around the house with her there. Within a short period of time, Molly was all kisses and cuddles with Raven, even got her out for a walk on the first visit. Raven is so patient and calm with hesitant/nervous dogs. She's a bit of a dog whisperer. Molly loves you Raven, looking forward to the next visit 😍”

“Christopher continues to be my most reliable catsitter. He is communicative, thoughtful, and problem-solving (when my cat seemed anxious, he deduced the likely source and took care of it). I would highly recommend him.”

“This is our second time booking with Tayla and we couldn’t be more happy. She loves our dogs like her own. She even went out of her way to get them treats. She communicates so good and always puts my anxiety at ease being away from our babies. She seriously is the BEST!!!! We loveeee her and so do our babies!❤️🐾”

“Thank you Josh so much for giving us peace of mind with our pups, while we were gone today. The boys looked very happy in the photos you sent. We could be happier. Looking forward to working with you again.”

“I would absolutely recommend Mary for all pet sitting needs. We were on a three week long road trip, and Mary's dedication to care and communication while we were away significantly helped mitigate the anxiety of leaving our kitties for so long. Their happiness really shone through in all of the photo updates we received.”

Laurie O.

“Jen was PHENOMENAL! We have a grumpy cat and she was dedicated to making sure he was well taken care of. She was prompt, communicated well, and a joy to work with. We would book her again in a heartbeat.”

“We can't say enough great things about Anna! She was able to come spend time with our sweet pup last minute when we had a wedding to go to that was an all day affair. Winnie our pup is a sensitive sweetheart and Anna understood her feelings, took the time to do some training with her, play with her, and give her lots of love and pets to soothe her anxiousness. Her communication is really top notch, as is her care! We also recently hired Anna to sit Winnie for a few days at our house when we were away, and she was so so great. She was so careful and considerate about Winnie's routine and about our home. She sent photos and videos which was so sweet. Winnie clearly loves her. We will absolutely hire her again for overnight stays or day time pop ins when we need them.”

“It was such a comfort having Minda care for our cats while we were away. Our kitties were quick to be at ease with her, reassuring our worries about them feeling lonely or anxious at home.”

“Peter was absolutely clutch for us when we came to meet friends for a long holiday weekend. He came multiple times a day to walk and snuggle our new rescue pup that we didn't want to leave back home since he was so new to us. Peter was flexible with us on coverage timelines and as an unexpected bonus even gave us some great tips on things to do & see, and places to eat & drink. He was very communicative throughout, which made us feel more relaxed about leaving Pancho--we highly recommend him for your pet needs, and our dog loved him. Thank you Peter--you are a lifesaver!!”

“Kirby took such great care of my dog Birdy. Birdy is a little shy and timid around new people but quickly became comfortable and goofy with Kirby. Kirby is a great person and is highly recommended. I look forward to working with her again.”

Scott R.

“Jasper was great! Communicative, sent plently of pics, followed all our instructions and was all around a great sitter. Would definitely have them back!”

Amber S.

“Micaela was fabulous! Everything went smoothly and she was awesome with the photos and updates. I came home to a very clean apartment and I can tell she took great care of my kitty”

Erin S.

“Honey knows it's Friday — she's at the door waiting for Scott. That alone says everything. She's leash reactive and not the easiest dog to walk, but Scott handles her with calm patience every single time. He's also great at communicating — any schedule adjustments are always clear and timely. We wish he could walk her every day!”

Julie H.

“Alysa was great! Our kitties really enjoyed her visits, especially Buster. Posey did too but she’s a little more timid, but she didn’t run and hide every time. Will definitely use her again 👍”

Jim H.

“Jourdan was fantastic! They were flexible and understanding with my last minute booking and were thorough and communicative and sent great pictures of my cats. I came home to happy and healthy cats who I knew were well cared for! Can’t recommend highly enough.”

Jake E.

“Incredibly communicative and friendly! My kitties loved her! She even watered my plants while I was gone. I can’t thank you enough, Jana!”

About: I make sure each pet brings home a beautiful portrait from their walk- a pet postcard. A good walk can bring out the best smile from pets. I am a photographer and graphic designer that works from home. My dog is walked 3 times a day. I have a lot of free time in my hand. So I can travel to different neighborhoods. I make sure they have a nest or space they can be comfortable in. They are allowed to sit on the couch while I work. They always should have water and toys to play with.

“Emily was great and helped us while one of us were out of town and we needed an extra hand with our girl! She was on time,communicative and professional! I highly recommend her! ❤️ thank you em!!”
