Pet Sitting Alameda

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.

“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.”

“We have a bit of a high maintenance crew, & Raven not only made sure to keep their routine for us while we were away but also received approval nudges from our selective bengal, & affection from our shy ferret girl!! Which is the highest badges of honor in this household. Would highly recommend to anyone who has elder pets who need extra attention, & those who have anxious or selective babes. Thanks for giving us peace of mind, Raven!”

“I was so nervous to leave my cat while on vacation but thanks to Kayla I didn’t have to. She got all the information down and made me feel at ease. She did a great job and ensured all her needs were met. Again, thank you so much.”

“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.”

About: I've always cared for cats and dogs, but for the past 8 yrs, I've focused on caring for my own senior and special needs cats and dogs who were/ are blind, had mobility issues, needed special medications and treatments, and animals that suffer anxiety and need extra love and attention. Making sure your pet has time to stretch their legs, get some fresh air, is given love and attention, and adhering to any special requests is my priority as your pet walker (and definitely lots of belly rubs or booty scratches!). Because I've taken care of special needs animals, I can provide a dog stroller or dog sling in the event they suffer from arthritis, other mobility issues, or maybe love to be carried during a walk. I make sure to take extra care while walking pets. Having walked blind, disabled, and high anxiety dogs, I take extra care to monitor the surrounding areas for potential dangers such as traffic, harmful debris, loose dogs, and even pavement/ land conditions that might hurt their paws (hot sidewalks are no joke). I currently work from home Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. On Sundays, I have plenty of time to stop in and give your pet some TLC. Your dog's safety is my first priority. Aside from keeping a close eye out for potential issues (loose dogs, loose children, loud trucks, traffic), I also keep an eye out and will let you know if I see anything that could potentially be an issue (a sudden limp, stool quality, reactions to certain stimulus). I also make sure to avoid or reduce exposure to already known trigger points (other dogs or overly trafficked areas).

“Othello has had a really rough transition this month and especially sad and he was immediately comfortable with Carmen. She was extremely communicative and responsive.”

“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.

“Adrienne was so sweet and responsive! I really appreciated the updates with pictures and cute commentary as she checked in on my kitty! It makes all the difference knowing your pet is in good hands while you’re away. I will absolutely be booking Adrienne in the future!”

Emma B.

“Tayla was fantastic with two shy kitties! She was punctual with daily check-ins and sent updates with plenty of photos to ease my worry. Both cats were happy and well cared for. Tayla was thoughtful with her care and even suggested separate feedings to ensure Oona didn’t go hungry. We hope to rebook with Tayla for our next trip!”

Nahlee S.

“Briana took amazing care of my two cats. She was clean, responsive, communicative, and sent tons of pictures and updates. I could tell my cats we’re comfy with her after the first two visits. She also stepped in last minute when I wasn’t able to get home as planned, which was such a huge help. I’m so grateful for her reliability and kindness, and I would absolutely book with her again! 12/10!”

Savannah B.

“Kate has great communication skills which is very important to me. She’s respectful, confident, and approachable when caring for another person’s fur baby. 10/10 would recommend to anyone in the community.”

“Breann was friendly, easy to contact, and responsive. She helped in a big way when i couldn’t be home.”

Emma S.

“Jourdan has been great so far. She has visited Penny twice and has already made progress with her. She also came to meet Penny with us after hours before our visits began to make sure knew Jourdan was ok. We appreciated that”

Ascension M.

“Alyssa was great! She watched our two cats and our fish while we were out of town. Communication was great, she showed up as expected, and was eager to catch some photos to share with us. Would highly recommend.”

Erin W.

“Chance was great with my shy boy, who warmed right up to him. He asked great questions in our meet and greet, and I felt confident in leaving my pup with him. Looking forward to having him watch Sab again!”
