About: I’ve had pets my entire life and genuinely love spending time with animals of all kinds. I’m comfortable caring for pets with different personalities, needs, and routines, and I’m happy to help with whatever care or services your pet requires. I have experience administering oral medications and caring for a variety of animals, including dogs, cats, lizards, gerbils, hamsters, guinea pigs, and tortoises. I’m currently in grad school and have classes throughout the week, but I have a flexible schedule outside of class. I’m available for pet care in the mornings, afternoons, and evenings, as well as on weekends. I’m happy to work with your schedule and accommodate your pet’s routine and needs whenever possible. When caring for pets in their home, I prioritize their safety, comfort, and routine. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions and make sure pets have everything they need, including food, fresh water, medications, exercise, and attention. I’m attentive to doors, gates, and other potential safety concerns to make sure pets stay secure. I also treat every client’s home with the same care and respect I would my own. I’ll keep things clean and tidy, communicate with owners throughout my visit, and let them know if I notice anything unusual with their pet or in the home.

“very responsive, friendly, punctual and they even gave our pup some extra time which is greatly appreciated :). We will definitely rebook soon!”

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.

“Elyse took care of my two kittens for just under two weeks and did an amazing job. She was super reliable and communicative. The kittens seemed healthy, happy and relaxed when I got home, so it was obvious they were in good hands. Would definitely request for her help again in the future.”

Mackenzie O.

“Ryan was incredibly sweet for my two cats. He thoughtfully sent the cutest photos of my two kitties doing their every day favorite activities over the time that I was away which I found very reassuring. Both of my cats are huge snugglers, and Ryan sent pics showing how they cuddled right up to him during his visits. He managed giving medication to one of my fur fam 2x daily, and kept everything really organized. While it can be so difficult to leave loved ones when traveling, Ryan was great and made it much easier knowing they were in excellent care.”

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and genuinely love caring for them. I have a 8 year old Miniature Pinscher, Norman, who has taught me a lot about patience, routines, and making dogs feel safe and comfortable in their own way. (I don’t have him with me full time) I’m comfortable with dogs of different personalities and energy levels, and I’m happy to follow your pup’s usual routine, whether that means long walks, playtime, plenty of cuddles, or simply keeping them company. I’ll treat your dog like my own and keep you updated while you’re away. I am home in the morning and evenings on the weekdays. I am free to take your pets out on walks every couple hours or as needed. I prioritize safety and trust by maintaining a clean, secure environment for pets. I ensure their routines are followed, provide plenty of playtime and affection, and always keep a close eye on them to prevent any accidents. Your pets will feel comfortable and cared for in my home or yours. I have a fenced in yard as well

About: Dogs are a true source of happiness for me and hold a very special place in my heart. I love life, nature, and all living beings, but I have always shared an especially deep connection with dogs. Dogs tend to feel comfortable with me very quickly. I bring a warm, playful energy while also providing the calm guidance, patience, and consistency that help them feel safe and relaxed. Some of my greatest teachers have been the dogs who have shared their lives with me: Alaska, Toby, Polly, and now my beloved Siberian Husky, Coquito, whom I rescued from the streets of Mexico. Each one has taught me something different about trust, loyalty, patience, resilience, and unconditional love. They were never simply dogs in my life—I became part of their stories, just as they became an important part of mine. I also independently created and ran a small dog rescue in Mexico. While working a regular job, I dedicated the rest of my time—and much of my personal income—to helping dogs living on the streets. Without sponsors or outside financial support, I provided rescued dogs with food, veterinary treatment, vaccinations, spaying and neutering, companionship, and, above all, genuine love. I still treasure many photos of the dogs I rescued and cared for throughout that chapter of my life. Over the years, I have also become someone dog owners trust when they have questions about everyday care or canine behavior. Friends, acquaintances, and even people in Mexico continue to reach out to me because they know how much experience I have with dogs and feel comfortable asking for my perspective. These experiences have taught me how to understand and care for dogs with different personalities, histories, and needs. I deeply respect each dog’s individual nature and believe every one of them deserves to feel protected, understood, and loved. When your pup is with me, they will never be treated as simply another booking. I feel completely confident in the care I can offer because being deeply devoted to dogs—caring for them, protecting them, and sharing my time with them—is an essential part of who I am. This is not simply a service I provide; it is one of the greatest joys and deepest motivations of my life. I will follow your dog’s normal routine, give them attentive and personalized care, keep you updated with photos, and treat them with patience, responsibility, playfulness, and wholehearted love. My goal is for you to feel completely at ease—and for your dog to feel safe, understood, happy, deeply valued, and truly at home. I’m available for dog walks Monday through Friday after 6:00 p.m. On weekends, I can also welcome dogs into my home for overnight stays on Friday and Saturday, with pickup on Sunday. I genuinely enjoy spending my weekends with dogs—taking them on walks, playing with them, and giving them plenty of companionship, attention, and affection throughout their stay. I care for furry guests in my apartment, where I live with my 44-pound husky, Coquito. My home is clean, comfortable, and well-lit, and it has a balcony with a high, secure railing for safety. My furry guests always have access to fresh water and are fed according to their usual schedule and their family’s instructions. I give them plenty of attention, affection, playtime, and companionship so every pup feels safe, included, and cared for as part of the family.

About: I am experienced in providing gentle, including walks to the parks and beaches, while maintaining a calm and comfortable environment inside home and outside home. My job requires me a peculiar freedom to have a flexible schedule. I am morning person and love going in evening strolls regardless of sorting setting. In my home, I create a fun and safe space for pets, with cozy spots to relax, play, and eat. They get fresh water, regular walks, and all the love and attention they could ask for! I stick to their routine to keep them happy and stress-free. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I make sure they feel right at home, following their usual routine. From daily walks and playtime to feeding and cuddles, I keep everything tidy and comfy. I want them to feel relaxed and loved while their owner’s away!

About: I have been taking care of dogs and cats for about 10 years now— I am a highly energetic person that can keep that energy up with dogs, or cats! For my three year old cat, Gus, playtime is essential! Calmer cats and dogs get along great with me as well :) I am able to give medications to dogs and cats, and with my knowledge in cat cpr, as well as having transportation to and from your place— if there is ever an emergency, I can get your furry friend to safely ASAP! I currently am in between jobs, so pet care alongside taking care of my own cat works perfectly for my schedule! I am available almost 24/7. I care for pets in my home with lots of care and love! I hope to give your pets the same affection and I am able to take/transport pets to the park, daycare, etc!

About: We adore animals of all kinds. We have hardwood floors for accidents, and filtered water. We have a fenced yard for running around with our kids and potty, always allow indoor access, and we don’t leave your pet alone. James has volunteered at the Dog Shelter for years, has CPR/Rescue training(for humans) and an understanding of CPR and first aid for dogs. After many years of dog sitting, we've welcomed a variety of different dogs (around 50+ at last count) into our home. We have administered eye creams, injections, and many other medicines. We don't clip nails. We are happy to send pictures and videos and even facetime or video chat by request. James works from home, and we typically go for two walks a day so we are always happy to have a guest pet with us. We have thoughtfully organized our home to avoid dangerous substances, escape issues, and to ensure maximum joy and safety! We would love to give you a tour during a meet and greet.

About: I live in a house near a lot of nature and I have a tiny elderly service animal who is usually held in a sling or pouch on my person. :) Will treat your pup/cat/loved one like one of my family! love to exercise and go for runs and walks so I hope your dog loves to enjoy the sun and get some "W's" in :) For the kitties, I love to give them their space and once we build that trust, cuddle or play with them in the ways they like! Plenty of trails nearby to where I live and love to adventure with portable waterbowl and doggy treats/bags for the pups! I love all animals and have watched/cared for so many cats and dogs in my life and each one I’ve loved meeting and learning them. Having my tiny elderly dog for 8 years has taught me so much about being a great and attentive parent to a furry baby. Words can’t describe the bond I feel with my pup and I assume that as I watch/care for your animal, that you cherish them as well. I will pamper your pet/animal and make sure they have everything they need/want that you give permission for them to experience as well :) I have skills in training puppies and senior care. Can’t wait to meet your loved one and care for them like you/family would <3 My weekly routine consists of being active and outside if caring for a dog that is active and needing to be outside as well. For dogs, I make sure that we are getting stimulation outside for what feels appropriate for their needs. Love having fun with them in whatever ways they love! For cats, I like learning about each one as some stay indoors and would want to care for them in how they need and want to be cared for. I can be indoors with them except out for a little for my own outside needs, but otherwise can hang out with them indoors for what they need. I have a fenced yard and can crate your dog if needed and also can allow dogs indoors if potty trained. For cats, they can be indoors if they have a litter box that goes with them. For inside your home, happy to cuddle with them and play with them with the toys they like. Happy to go on walks with your animal if they enjoy walks and always leave areas in parents’ homes cleaner than how I found them.

About: My life has always been my dogs. I have been taking care of dogs and other pets my entire life and it's truly my life's purpose. I have experience with all breeds especially elderly chihuahuas and timid breeds. No breed is too difficult for me. I have experience with rescuing and fostering for the past 15 years as well as volunteering at shelters. I've been exposed to all different backgrounds, personalities, sizes and breeds. No matter what all dogs are good dogs it's just matter of giving them the attention they need and that's what I'm here to help you with! I'm an avid hiker and walker for my two boys and will customize play time and amount of exercise to your baby. I'll make sure you get pictures and updates and can promise I'll do anything to make sure you furry child has a doggone good time! I have a flexible schedule currently and will be attending school in the spring. At the moment I am available mostly between 11am-10 pm Monday-Saturday. I can do mornings on occasion or Sundays if necessary. Don't hesitate to ask and I will always see what I can do. My dogs get fed twice a day and get their preferred treats. They get daily walks and 2-3 hiking adventures a week. They are very different temperaments and energy so I am used to tailoring their exercise routine accordingly. I will care for your pets in a similar way or as needed and agreed upon during our communications. I am very in tune and attentive to what your pets needs are. I will respect the rules set forth by the client and most importantly make sure your pet is cared for and truly enjoyed their time. I will always do my best to leave your loved one in a better state than when I arrived making sure all their needs are met including any meds, feeding, treats, water and waste removal and exercise. If you have special requests please let me know.

About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life! At one point, my family had up to four dogs at a time. I also have taken care of other animals (lizards, cats, fish) for neighbors, friends, and random job postings found online! I am capable of bathing, walking, feeding, giving medications/ treatments, socializing, or whatever you need for your pets! I am currently in school online and taking some time off of work! This leaves me with extreme flexibility to take care of your animals. Every pet and pet parent is unique! As long as you give me the gist of what your pet needs, I am happy to provide that.

“My 3 pups loved Laura instantly! She’s a great communicator and punctual. 2 of my dogs are young and can be a lot to manage and I totally trust Laura to manage them”

“Chen has been an incredible caretaker for our cats when we are away. He sends frequent updates so we know our cats are doing well. Our cats have grown fond of him and trust him. It’s nice to know we have a pet sitter who they are comfortable with and look forward to seeing. I can tell they genuinely miss Chen’s drop ins now that we are back. Every morning around the time scheduled for our drop ins they start meowing at me. They have gotten used to him coming to visit. Chen will be your cat’s best friend when you are away!”

About: What sets me apart is that I have experience caring for dogs mainly through family and friends, including medium and large dogs, as well as puppies and senior dogs. I’m comfortable following set routines and making sure everything stays consistent, whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, or daily care habits. I also have experience with leash-pulling dogs and basic training routines from working with my own dogs, so I’m comfortable reinforcing good behavior in a calm and patient way. I feel confident handling a wide range of situations and I’m happy to follow any specific instructions an owner provides. With dogs, I like a balance of walks, playtime, and downtime, but I always follow their lead, some dogs want lots of attention and activity, while others prefer space and quiet company. I’m comfortable with both and focus on making sure each dog feels safe, relaxed, and cared for. I also have experience with cats, and I enjoy working with multiple types of animals in a home. Overall, I’m reliable, patient, and focused on making sure every pet is well cared for while their owners are away. Pet care fits into my routine really well because I have a flexible full-time job. I’m usually in the office about three days a week, but my schedule isn’t rigid and I can work from different locations or from home when needed, especially when I’m pet sitting. Because of that flexibility, I’m able to plan my day around feeding times, walks, and check-ins so pets stay on their normal routine. I generally walk dogs in the morning and afternoons, so it’s easy for me to build that into my day. I’m also available for morning, evening, and overnight care depending on what’s needed. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible so they feel safe and comfortable while their owner is away. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walk times, medication, and any specific routines or house rules. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, whether that’s walks, playtime, or just quiet company depending on their personality. I’m also careful to respect their space and adjust my approach if a pet is shy or needs time to warm up. I keep the home clean and tidy, including feeding areas, water bowls, and litter boxes if needed, and I’m comfortable handling any messes or accidents. I also provide updates and photos so owners know how their pet is doing while they’re away.

“Intuitive, caring, and communicative pet sitter!”
