Pet Sitting & Drop Ins in Allendale, Oakland, CA

“Vania was awesome!!! I needed someone last minute and she came through. She was great with my two pitbulls and treated them like queens. She was always on time and very communicative with pictures. I strongly recommend and will be using her in the future.”

About: During the Covid-19 pandemic, my love for animals truly began to show. So many of my moms’ teacher friends needed help with care for their animals during the uncertain time, and I was always up to it! Since then, I’ve gained experience with feeding, walking, training, and administering pets medicine. As of right now I’m working part time, so I have plenty availability to watch or walk your pets! Currently I’m able to work any day after 11AM. Outside, I have a safe, fenced in grassy backyard with a large deck, and a friendly senior dog to keep your pet company! If provided, I can also crate your pet inside. My kitchen is fenced off with a doggy-gate, and the kitchen-laundry area is safe, as I put up any food.

“Made our first rover experience very positive. Communicative, friendly (we met her before we left) and good vibe (our dog likes her).”

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.

“Andy dropped in to care for our cats while we were away and we were really happy with how things went. Andy was friendly, a great communicator (good pics and summaries of visits, patient with coordination ahead of time), and conscientious about our cats' special dietary and medicine needs. The cats seemed get along with him very well, and we would gladly use his services again.”

About: Rover is an amazing thing in my family's life. Our whole household REALLY LOVES DOGS. We love all the different dog personalities we get to know. We genuinely appreciate pet families trusting us to care for their pet(s). Boarding is our most used and preferred service of the Tree House. We have many regular clients who use our Boarding and Doggy Day Care services. We love all sizes of dogs and the full range of dog personalities. We host up to 4 guest dogs at a time and are very conscientious of the dogs we host and how they will interact. Therefore, if your dog does not do well with other dogs, our house may not be a great fit for your pet. We get requests for exclusive bookings, and where we can accommodate these requests, we will. ****price for exclusive bookings is 2X our service rate, currently $150/night or day care slot**** We require all new clients to do a meet- & -greet, so we can only accommodate last-minute new clients if we get a solid referral from another sitter, you are a friend of the family, or one of our regular clients referred you. We have found our guests do much better when they have been here and sniffed about before their stay. Your dog(s) will be loved and treated with the utmost respect by every member of our household and any other guests. Our home is very relaxed, and our backyard is a dog paradise with lots of shade and different areas for dogs to claim their own space. We always have a crew of dogs, so your dog will have plenty of stimulation and exercise while at our home. We work from home and are here nearly all the time. Pickup and drop-off times are flexible—the key is communication and consideration—fees may apply where either is lacking. The yard has plenty of room for guests to stretch it out and find their own space. We are happy to accommodate crating, and problem children will have some sort of time out until they can ground and be good guests. We are not disciplinarians but are pretty good at setting boundaries thru timeouts and rewards.

“Madeline is great with our high-energy teenage puppy! She is very adaptable and goes above and beyond to keep up our girl’s training progress. Very consistent and communicative.”

Amelia Z.

“Ricky was fantastic! He is our new go-to dog walker for our pup. His check-ins were super helpful and detailed, and it was clear he really cared her. Always on time and communicative.”

Stephanie C.

“Christina was awesome! She took great care of our 2 fur babies (cats) while we were on vacation. She sent lots of updates and pictures which was great and she even took it upon herself to vacuum up their litter off the floor which I didn’t ask her to do. I thought that was really cool and showed she’s willing to go the extra mile! I will definitely book her again in the future if possible :)”

Sarah C.

“Melina is WONDERFUL! She came in 3 days this week and each day did an INCREDIBLE JOB! She keeps me and my boyfriend super up to date with communication, videos, and pictures ❤️ If I have any questions, Melina responds immediately. And she follows any requests for Ivy (our pup) closely. Looking forward to having Melina come back to watch Ivy soon☺️”

With plenty of space to relax, play, and enjoy one-on-one time, your dog will feel loved and cared for.

About: I grew up with few family dogs and cared for the dogs of my neighbors and friends as an adult. My presence draws animals of all ages and backgrounds to me and I love seeing the world from the perspective of a dog. During the pandemic I trained my neighbor dog and she still counts on me for discipline and affection. You and your dog can rely on me to provide care that ensures their well being and safety. I am a part time student at a local buddhist seminary learning to be a spiritual care provider. So I am available Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday in the mornings, afternoons and evenings. On Tuesdays I am available from 12-6. On the weekends, if you want to take a trip, then I can house sit or pop in for walk or visit. I make it a priority to meet owners with their pets to establish rapport with the human and 4 legged being. I want to understand what motivates the dog and what the dog is sensitive to. I care for dogs by giving them walks, play, touch, positive regard and correction. I am patient and firm. I meet dogs where they are at emotionally, spiritually, and physically for them to do what I am asking. If I can't meet the pet owner, then leaving something like a "sub plan" for me to orient myself to your home, pet, and leash would be great. I skilled at making good first impressions, learning my way throughout a home, and messaging priority questions.

“Great job, our pets and their space was well take care of! Before we left, Megan & Jenny R were collaborating with us on how to provide the best care, and stayed in touch during their visits.”

“Elyse is so on top of things. She asked me questions and did a great job of what I’m asking for. I would like to have her back to take care my cat next time.”

“I highly recommend Emma for taking care of your kitty! She is wonderfully kind, thoughtful, and super detail oriented. Her communication is prompt, supportive and clear. Most importantly my shy kitty, Jasper, loves her and I could see how he trusts her very quickly. She’s got magic for the shy guys. I feel so much ease when I know she’s caring for him 😻”
