Pet Sitting Oakland

“I had such a great experience with my dog sitter, Sherry. She was incredibly friendly, caring, and professional, and she made me feel completely comfortable trusting them with my dog. She was very reassuring throughout the entire process, which gave me peace of mind knowing my dog was in good hands. I really appreciated the regular update, photo and message showing me how my dog was doing and what they were up to. Her communication made me feel included and informed the whole time. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience, and I would absolutely recommend Sherry to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and loving to care for their pet!”

About: Confident leash handler. Experienced with rescues, bully breeds, as well as reactive and senior dogs. Red Cross Pet CPR certified. I'm a big guy and LOVE big dogs (and little ones, too!) I am self employed and can be very flexible with when I'm available. I specialize in last minute bookings Let's book a meet and greet! Can't wait to meet your furry family member. I am self employed with a very flexible schedule. Last minute house sitting stays are my specialty. I typically prefer minimum 2-3 day bookings for locations that are over 50km away from me but if you're curious just shoot me a message and we can see what works. I am a confident and physically strong leash handler. Recognizing dog body language (particularly with excitable or reactive dogs) and being proactive is key (Dogs, like us, don't need to say hi to everyone that crosses their paths). Red Cross Pet CPR certified. I am happy to administer any medications they may need while you are gone.

About: My husband David and I treat every dog and cat like family, making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. As previous service dog raisers, we have experience with both energetic puppies who need play, patience, and training basics, as well as senior pets who need a gentler touch, extra comfort, and a steady routine. We are reliable, communicative, and attentive to each pet’s unique personality and needs—whether that’s long walks, belly rubs, or simply quiet companionship. You’ll always get regular updates and photos, so you can relax knowing your furry friend is in loving hands. We have a flexible schedule, which means we can easily adapt to your pet’s needs—whether that’s early morning walks, midday potty breaks, or evening snuggles. Because we work our day around pet care, we can keep their routine consistent and stress-free. Having this flexibility also allows us to give extra attention, longer walks, or just more quality playtime if that’s what your pet loves most. Your furry friend’s comfort and happiness always come first, and we are able to adjust our time to make sure they feel cared for and loved every day. When we’re caring for pets in a client’s home, we treat it with the same respect we would my own. We follow your instructions carefully—feeding, walks, play, medications, or snuggle time—and make sure your pet feels loved and cared for in their familiar space. We also like to send regular photo and video updates, so you can feel at ease knowing your furry friend is happy and safe while you’re away.

“Robin was out of this world. We asked her to drop in on our 3yo Bernadoodle Zuma and he was so happy and looked forward to her visits while we were on a 5 day vacation. She sent updates with photos and even let us know if he wanted to just be quite and cuddle during a visit. Will definitely use her services again.”

“Colleen came to feed our two cats, one of which is a rescue and is very timid. Both cats came out to see her when she arrived which is amazing! We were very happy with Colleen’s service and would recommend her. Very reliable, polite and professional!”

Paula Y.

“Andrea is super friendly and was very kind and gentle with my dogs during the meet and greet. Communication was great before and after her drop in visit and she took really nice pics of all the dogs. I would highly recommend her services!”

About: I’ve been a dog lover for as long as I can remember — I grew up with two or more dogs in our family from the time I was a baby, so having dogs around has always felt like home to me! I currently have a 3-year-old Goldendoodle who is very much part of our family. My children have grown up alongside him, so they’re used to having a dog as part of their everyday life and understand that dogs deserve kindness, respect and plenty of love. My former pup was part of our family for many years and, later in life, needed extra care while living with diabetes, Cushing’s disease and seizures. That experience taught me just how important patience, consistency and paying close attention to a dog’s individual needs can be. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities, from little ones to big dogs, and I genuinely love getting to know each dog’s quirks and routine. As a mum, I’m naturally nurturing and attentive, and I truly believe dogs are so much more than just pets — they’re part of the family. They deserve to feel loved, safe and included, and that’s exactly how I would treat your pup while they’re with us. 🐾❤️ I have a flexible work-from-home job, along with some community work, which means I’m able to work my schedule around the needs of the dogs in my care. I have flexibility throughout the day and can usually accommodate different routines, walks, drop-ins and stays with some advance notice. I’m home often and love having a pup around to keep me company! 🐾❤️ Shoot me a message and I'm sure we can work something out My home is a loving, family environment where dogs are welcomed as part of the family. I have a fully fenced yard where pups can safely enjoy outdoor time, and i currently have a 3-year-old Goldendoodle who is very used to having other dogs around. I also have a finished basement that can provide a quiet, comfortable space away from the kids and our dog if your pup prefers some alone time, needs a break, or simply likes having a calm place to relax. For boarding stays, I’m also happy to sleep in our guest room with your dog if they’re more comfortable having someone nearby overnight. Safety and trust are really important to me. I take the time to learn each dog’s routine, personality, comfort level and any special needs before their stay. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, medications, walks and anything else that helps them feel comfortable and settled. I work from home, so I’m home often and dogs aren’t left alone for long periods of time. Our children are comfortable and respectful around dogs, and I’m always mindful of making sure every pup has the space they need. Most importantly, I want every dog staying with us to feel safe, loved and genuinely part of the family — whether that means playing in the yard, cuddling on the couch, or having a quiet night downstairs with me. 🐾❤️

Additionally, I’m an educator with open availability starting this summer, and evening and weekend availability for now, making my schedule flexible and dependable for pet parents. I am an educator with evening and weekend availability. I will have open availability for the summer. During the summer I will be able to spend full days with you dog. When caring for pets in my home, I focus on creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment. I have a fully fenced yard for secure outdoor time and baby gates inside to help manage space, support routines, and keep pets safe. Dogs can relax on the couch, explore the yard, or settle into a quiet space depending on their needs. I keep their routine consistent with yours, including feeding times, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow your routines closely so your pet feels comfortable and stress-free. I take my time getting to know their personality, comfort level, and any specific needs such as medications, senior care, or extra reassurance. I keep your home tidy, respect your space, and send regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. No matter where I’m caring for your pet, I prioritize safety, communication, and giving them lots of love, attention, and gentle structure so they feel secure and happy.

About: Love to be around pets especially dogs. I dog sit every time I get a chance and always make a fuss( awesome fur baby auntie). I have cared for family, friends and also from a house sitting website that I would always ensure there was a pet to care for as well. I had cats all my life so I am use to them and love them just as much. If I wasn't an entrepreneur I am sure I would be a vet or in some way a service to animals and our dear pets. My one cousin is studying to become a vet and i talk with her all the time about the best way to care for a pet. I am an entrepreneur and can make my own schedule. I have a online based business and can work from anywhere to ensure I have enough time for the furry loved ones. I care for pets in their own environment. I like to keep them as close to what they are use to as far as schedules/structures. I give them a dose of love with any and all activities we do together.

About: I’ve cared for animals my whole life — from raising fish and hamsters to loving guinea pigs, cats, and dogs. Right now, I share my home with my sweet dog named Winnie who is a Miniature German Shepherd and an affectionate cat, named Luna, who I’m completely obsessed with. I love observing animals’ behaviors, understanding their needs, and showering them with the affection they give (and ask for!) in return. Whether your pet is playful, shy, or somewhere in between, I’ll make sure they feel safe, seen, and loved! Im working full time so the first thing I make sure to take care of is to feed my furbabies food and replenish their water dish. Winnie has been waiting all night to use the bathroom so I either send her out or if I have time take her on morning stroll to stretch those tiny legs. I also make sure to clean Luna’s litter no matter how un-used it was over night because of the princess that she constantly reminds me that she is! On my day offs I make sure to spend more time with Winnie outdoors whether that’s going to the dog park, extensive walks or just playing fetch in our neighbourhood! I also give Luna her attention by giving her bum scratches and pats, refilling her cat nip toy, or brushing her which she always enjoys. I will most likely be visiting my clients home mostly because Luna is uneasy around other animals. But following crating instructions, keeping doors closed when necessary, creating a calm and peaceful environment, not leaving garbages or food bags/containers or anything that can put either pet at risk.

“Harsimran was an amazing cat sitter! It was clear how much she genuinely loved and cared for my cats. She was attentive, caring, and very reliable, and her communication was excellent throughout. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their pets!”
