About: I love animals. I volunteered at the Oakland SPCA as a pet socializer. My duties included taking the dogs for their walks, playing with them outside and getting a good photo to update the website. Seeing how each dog got excited to go on their walks just made my day! I was also responsible for the cats as well. I grew up with a show doberman pinscher and cats. He was lovable, loyal and such a wonderful pet. We ended up getting a mate for him after he was done with shows. I love dachshund's. They are just adorable. I currently have 2 cats, Marcus Miller and Monet.

Angela did an excellent job taking care of my two cats, one of them requiring two pills per day for his GI lymphoma. She even took care of a perishable delivery which came for me while I was gone. I recommend Angela highly.

About: I have experience taking care of dogs because I grew up with them. Being around dogs has always felt natural to me, so I understand the basics of feeding them, walking them, playing with them, keeping them comfortable, and paying attention to what they need. I’m gentle, patient, and attentive, but I’m also playful, so I enjoy making sure dogs are not just cared for, but actually happy and engaged. I know every dog has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, so I would always respect the owner’s instructions and take time to understand what works best for their dog. I’m currently in college and home for the summer, so my schedule is very open and flexible. I’m available for walks, playtime, drop-ins, and consistent care throughout the week. I’m happy to work with your dog’s routine and make scheduling easy for you. I care for pets by keeping their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. In a client’s home, I would follow their instructions carefully, whether that includes feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medication, or general house rules. I want pets to feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. For walks or visits, I would stay aware of my surroundings, keep dogs secure on their leash, avoid unsafe situations, and pay attention to how they’re acting. My goal is for the pet to feel cared for and for the owner to feel relaxed knowing their dog is safe and in good hands.

Krystle was amazing with our cat! She helped with all the things I asked for and went above and beyond and helped with other things like ant invasion when we were away. She was extremely patient and sweet with our cat that was hiding under the couch during her visits. She was able to get our cat to play with her after couple of days, thanks to Krystle’s gentle approach. I was comfortable being away and knew that my cat was being treated well and taken care of. I 100% recommend Krystle! She’s truly the best. I’ll definitely reach out to her if I need a sitter again.

About: I have two dogs and two cats. I’ve done dog walking since early middle school and pet sitting for two years. I love animals and have for a long time. I’ll bring treats and spoil your furry friends! Walks, cuddles and playtime are my specialty! I just finished my semester of school and am pretty free for the summer! I love excuses to go out of the house and go on walk adventures with dogs or cuddles with your cat (or walk them if they like walks too!) For walks I like to double leash just for added security and safety with dogs. I can swing by during set times you want me to be there, give food and play or go on walks. If you want me to house and pet sit I will bring my own stuff to keep myself entertained and maybe a few treats to share with your furry friends.

About: I use to work at a pet hotel, and loved ensuring that the pets got what they deserved, care and attention. Not every pets the same, I helped shy ones get a bit more comfortable in the chaos that is playing with other dogs. I’ve provided necessary meds and ensured pet environments stayed cleanly. If I’m not willing to play around it it’s not done. Have great experience with dogs and cats. I’m open mostly to Monday through Friday: 8am to 6PM. Can be flexible later as one offs, nights are extra. Unfortunately not offering weekends at this time. Providing companionship to your furbabys while you’re out. Giving them lots of cuddles, attention, feeding, and definitely a few walks depending on dog breed and mobility. Meds need to be discussed.

Supriya took amazing care of my senior cat. My cat is very shy and does not let anyone pet her. However, she took a liking to Supriya right away and was happy to get head scratches & pets, and even purred! Supriya really has a wonderful way with cats. I appreciate the patient, kind and gentle way she cared for my cat. Cannot recommend her enough.

Eva took phenomenal care of our cat while we were away for a few weeks. She followed our instructions to a T and even went above and beyond to clean the floors multiple times whenever our cat made a huge mess. Eva kept us updated with photos and notes, and was an excellent communicator all around. We're so grateful and fortunate to have found Eva and would not hesitate to entrust our pets with her in the future.

Our regular sitter of two years moved just far enough away that coming twice a day for a week wasn't possible, so it was a little nerve-racking to choose a new sitter when we were going to be on the other side of the country. Picking Gagandeep was a good decision. He put us at ease immediately when leaving them, which was especially important when I developed an unexpected and serious medical condition. If I had spent time worrying about them cross-country, I don’t think it would have turned out as well as it did. I’ll definitely book with him again.

We had a great experience with Wenyuan taking care of our cat Lucy while we were on vacation. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about making Lucy comfortable and happy while we were away. We really appreciated the updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind during our trip. Lucy was relaxed and well cared for when we got home, and we would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend!
