About: What sets me apart is my deep understanding of pets' unique needs, gained through years of hands-on experience with animals of all ages, breeds, and temperaments. Whether I'm caring for playful puppies, energetic adults, or senior pets with special requirements, I tailor my approach to ensure every animal feels safe, loved, and understood. There is a long line of veterinarians in my family therefore I understand the importance of quality care. My goal is to provide peace of mind for you and a second home for your furry friend, where they’ll receive the same level of care and affection they get from you. Fun fact I hope to become a veterinarian after school! As a college student-athlete, my schedule is flexible. I'm available every day aligning pet care around my class and practice times. Any changes or commitments are communicated in advance for seamless planning and reliable pet care. I am a student-athlete at Berkeley and am looking for a part-time job to spend time and help out with your furry friends. I know your pets mean the world to you, which is why safety is my top priority and I am committed to providing the best care for them so you can rest assured that they are taken care of while you are away.

About: Hi, there! My name is Halle and I recently moved to Berkeley from Beaverton, OR. While I was living in Beaverton, I dog-sat and house-sat over the course of the lat six years for several different families whose animals ranged from puppies, dogs (large, medium and/or small), cats, guinea pigs and more. I have a huge passion for animals and am able to provide extra care for those who have pets with health issues (i.e., giving them medicine, eyedrops, injections, etc). I'm an avid walker and love to spend time outdoors -- I'm happy to walk your dog as much as desired/needed. Thank you for your consideration! I'm currently in the process of securing a full-time job in Berkeley so until then, I have unlimited availability to care for your pet! During every pet-sitting gig I've completed over the last six years, I've always stayed at the homeowner's house. I'm known for being communicative, proactive, clean/tidy/organized and consistently ensuring the animal receives high quality care, affection, attention, safety and exercise. I'm an avid walker and love spending time outside so I'm more than happy to take your pet on a walk for however long you want!

“Jes has watched my two cats while I’m out of town multiple times! He’s great with them, super attentive and communicative. I know I’m leaving my cats in good hands with him!”

About: From taking small dogs out for short strolls to longer walks with my reactive dog, I always prioritize safety. I have eight years of dog ownership, walking, and grooming experience with a variety of breeds and sizes. Rest assured that your pups and I will have an energetic time! I am excited to meet your companions. UC Berkeley grad, go bears ! (And dogs! and cats!) I have completed 102 walks with a 5 star rating on Wag! and am adding Rover on for potential new clients. My own dog is a reactive rescue with special needs so I have experience caring for pets that require medication or adjustment. I am a full time gig worker and can meet your scheduling needs with flexibility. I take my own pet on daily walks so I have plenty of energy for yours ! I always ensure entrances are locked and pets are leashed up upon entry and exit. My own home has a fenced yard and all toxic items are out of reach

“Everything appeared to be taken care of to my specifications and my cats were happy and healthy when I got home! Matthew was also very communicative and friendly throughout my time being gone. Will book with him again!”

“Sophia was so amazing! She did a great job of keeping me updated and taking care of my dog. I will definitely use her again!”

“Jasmine was wonderful to work with. She came by to go over everything even though it was a last minute booking. She took great care of our 2 cats, including giving a daily medication. Her notes and pictures gave me confidence about how things were going while we were away.”

About: I grew up with three dogs ranging from small to large breeds, so caring for dogs has always been a natural part of my life. I also have experience dog sitting and understand how important it is to keep pets comfortable and stick to their usual routines while their family is away. These days, I’m also a proud cat parent to my two loving cats, Nori and Aya. They’ve given me plenty of experience with different cat personalities, playtime, feeding, litter care, brushing, and of course knowing when a cat wants attention versus when they would rather have some space. I’m comfortable caring for both cats and dogs and will treat your pets with the same patience and attention I give my own. I’m available for weekend drop-in visits, starting Friday evening through Sunday. I have more flexibility throughout Saturdays and Sundays, so I can usually work around your pet’s normal feeding, walking and care routine. Having my own pets, I understand how much trust it takes to let someone into your home and care for an animal you love. I’ll follow your instructions closely and keep your pet’s routine as familiar as possible. I’ll make sure doors and gates are secure, food and medications are handled according to your instructions, and I’ll pay attention to any changes in behavior or anything that seems unusual. You can also expect an update and photos during each visit so you know your pet is safe and happy.

“Alyssa was fantastic with my young cat. She was responsive, flexible and my cat clearly enjoyed her time with her. Would book her again in a heartbeat!”

“Cassandra was great! She was very communicative and timely and took great care of Almond. I’ll definitely be reaching out to her again for any future needs.”

About: I’ve built a loyal client base since 2022 primarily through word of mouth and have many excellent references. I have experience caring for dogs with a wide range of personalities, needs, and routines, and I consider myself well-prepared to handle a variety of situations. I’m highly communicative, proactive, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. I always strive to go the extra mile for my clients, making sure both pets and their people feel heard, respected, and confident in their care. This work brings me a great deal of joy, and I genuinely love getting to know and care for each animal. I work remotely, which gives me the flexibility to provide pet care throughout the week and travel across the Bay Area for in-home sits. Pets are also welcome to stay with me at my Emeryville loft. I have an 8-year-old Chihuahua-Terrier mix who is friendly with most animals and mostly keeps to himself. I prioritize regular walks, play, enrichment, and plenty of affection throughout the day. When caring for dogs in their home, I aim for 2–3 walks daily on safe, familiar routes; there is also a dog park directly across from my loft if that’s a good fit for the dog. I follow each client’s care instructions closely, communicate proactively if questions come up, and keep clients updated with photos and messages so they can feel confident their pets are happy and well cared for.

“Shirley is great! Our cat liked her immediately. She was easy to work with and accommodated multiple last-minute changes due to unforeseen circumstances. I highly recommend her.”

Thomas J.

“Communicative and attentive.”

About: For the last four years I’ve lived in a home with two Rhodesian Ridgebacks. One was a senior at 13 years old and the other is three. I’ve learned how to adapt to their different needs based on age and personality while setting boundaries and aligning to my Housemate’s desires for their care. (Which has helped me get to know new dogs pretty quickly.) We walk, play and cuddle. When needed I administer medication, feed them, and sometimes cook for them. I look forward to chatting with you about your family’s needs. When house sitting I do not schedule any other families for walks or drop-ins. The care I provide is all inclusive so that your baby gets all of my love and care. If I am not house sitting, I’m available everyday after 11am for walks and drop-ins within a 1 mile radius of lower Rockridge or easily reachable by public transportation. To ensure safety and comfort, I won’t be walking any other dogs outside of your household. I am available to spend time with your pet(s) in their home where they will be the most comfortable. I’ll come to you for walks.

About: For 5 years I worked at a dog daycare with all kinds of canines! For most of my time there, I was an overnight caretaker, solely responsible for anywhere between 5-99 dogs. I’ve worked with pups of all ages, many breeds, and many needs. Before that, I spent my teenage years volunteering at a local shelter, where I walked and cuddled dogs from all walks of life, and got the hang of getting nervous newcomers out of their shell. And it’s not just dogs I love, but all kinds of critters big and small! I have a cat and lizard, I enjoy any opportunity I have to cat-sit, and exotic pets whose care may be more than some want to handle are my pleasure! I’m happy to tailor care however you’d like to give your little friend the best! I’m free for the summer before my classes start, which gives me plenty of opportunity to care for your pets! I am mostly available after noon, and my availability is very open on all days but Friday I can only do walks or home visits as my house is already occupied by a disapproving cat, but while I’m with your pet I’ll be sure to give them exactly the care they need! I’m happy to give walks and visits where they’ll have all my attention, and I have experience administering any medication (non-injectable) that they require. If they’re just in need of company, I can supervise them in your yard, cuddle or hold them, or simply work quietly nearby if they would rather do their own thing without being alone. When I’m with your pet, I will always be reachable, so if you need to give instructions or check in on your pet, I can respond immediately

About: 🐾 A Loving Home Away From Home for Your Dog Welcome! My name is Chen zhang, and I'm a full-time, work-from-home pet sitter who provides personalized care in a peaceful, loving environment. Your dog will enjoy constant companionship throughout the day, with plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. Since pet sitting is my full-time job, I can closely follow your dog's routine, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special care they may need. One of the best parts of my home is the cozy private garden, where dogs can safely explore, relax, and soak up the sunshine. We're also just a short walk from San Pablo Park, a beautiful dog-friendly park that offers plenty of space for exercise, sniffing adventures, and fun outdoor play. I believe every dog deserves patience, kindness, and respect. Whether your pup is energetic, shy, a senior, or a puppy, I'll care for them according to their unique personality and needs. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can enjoy peace of mind while you're away. My goal is simple: to make your dog feel safe, happy, and loved—as if they were part of my own family. I can't wait to welcome your furry friend into my home! In addition, I’ve had dogs for over 16 years and truly understand how to care for animals with patience and love. I also have experience rescuing and helping stray dogs and cats, so I’m very attentive to different personalities, emotions, and special needs. My doggies back in China are all rescued and adopted by me and my family. I’m comfortable caring for both dogs and cats, including senior pets who need extra patience and gentle attention. I treat every pet like family and always try to make them feel safe, calm, and loved while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I’m available full-time and can provide care every day, including weekdays and weekends. I have a flexible schedule, so pets receive plenty of attention, supervision, walks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. Caring for dogs is something I truly enjoy, and I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re with me. I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment for pets both in my home and in my client’s home. I carefully follow each pet’s usual routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any special care instructions. I pay close attention to their behavior and comfort to help them feel relaxed and secure while their owners are away. In my home, pets receive plenty of supervision, affection, clean spaces, fresh water, and regular exercise. In my client’s home, I respect the pet’s familiar environment and maintain their normal routine as closely as possible to reduce stress. I also send regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident that their pets are happy and well cared for.

About: I love dogs of all sizes, ages, breeds and personalities. I am a caring, patient, responsible, fun-loving person. Your pet will have such a good time with me, they will ask to come back again. Does your dog like walks? So do I! We’ll go on adventures to the park, the waterfront, the hills and around the neighborhood. Is your dog a couch potato? We’ll do that too! Your pet will be part of my family when they are with me, getting my full attention. You will be able to enjoy your time away with no worries, knowing your pet is well cared for. I am recently retired, so have plenty of time to lavish on your pet. My own dog recently died, so I look forward to some doggy company. I have a comfortable house in a safe neighborhood. My backyard is fully fenced and has a sunny deck that dogs love. On warm days the back door is open and dogs have the freedom to go in and out as they please.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for the past 3 years and absolutely love spending time with them. A family member owns a farm, and when their dog had puppies, I helped care for the litter and learned how important patience, love, and attention are. I treat every dog like my own and always make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. As a college student, I have free gaps between classes that allow me to provide reliable pet care, walks, playtime, and attention throughout the day. I follow each pet’s routine carefully, provide food and water, give plenty of attention, ensure safety, and keep their environment clean and comfortable for the pets and owners.

About: I've been dog walking and sitting since I was 15 years old as well as growing up with dogs! Through walking and sitting dogs professionally and working at a pet shop I've learned how to handle almost any temperament or situation that comes my way. I've worked with all types of dogs from seniors to energetic puppies to shy ones and everything in between. No matter what, safety is always a first priority. I'll always ensure your dog is getting the best care possible and getting all their needs met. Feel free to reach out with any questions! I’m currently a student and most of my classes are online, so my schedule is very flexible. I have lots of time to spend with your pet! When going on walks, I always double check that the collar or harness is on correctly. When entering and exiting a home, I make sure that no pets will escape through the door.
