Cyvanah was wonderful with my baby boi Hilo. I especially appreciated the multiple photos and summaries of each day from Cyvanah. It put my mind at ease and I looked forward to each update while away. She bonded with my kitton spectacularly and he was cuddling on her lap in no time. She has a way with cats and I would trust Cyvanah with any fur baby of mine. She is professional, punctual and a great communicator.

Fuliang did a great job. I felt my cat Alba was well cared for. I got a nice detailed report on the last day. Could have used a picture of my cat everyday but otherwise I am a very satisfied customer and will use this sitter again for my pet sitting needs.

I was super stressed about finding a sitter for my 11 week old pup last minute for an all day training at work, and even more nervous about having a stranger visit my place! But Alejandra had fantastic reviews and even initiated meet & greet, which I really appreciated. And when she came to meet me and MoMo - boy, did my puppy LOVE her immediately, which made ME love her too!! :) Finally, on the day of the appointment, Alejandra showed up on time, followed all my requests, and took such good care of my puppy for an hour. TYSM Alejandra, I will book with you again next time MoMo needs a sitter!! ❤️❤️❤️

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, from growing up with a schnauzer to now raising Denali, my 10-year-old St. Bernard. Caring for a giant senior dog has taught me so much about patience, attentiveness, mobility needs, routines, and just how important comfort and companionship become as dogs get older. I also have experience dog sitting dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. For the past year, I’ve regularly cared for Cooper, a Maltese/Yorkie mix, sometimes for weeks at a time while his family is away. I genuinely love spending quality time with dogs; not just making sure they’re fed and walked, but making sure they feel safe, stimulated, loved, and understood. I believe a dog’s world is only as big as we help make it, so I care a lot about enrichment, affection, play, exploration, and giving them moments that make their days feel full and exciting. Whether your dog is energetic, anxious, playful, cuddly, tiny, giant, or entering their senior years, I’ll care for them with the same warmth and attention I give my own💖 My schedule is very flexible during mornings and regular daytime working hours, which allows me to be available for walks, drop-ins, playtime, companionship, and daytime care throughout the week. Whether your pet needs a midday walk, company while you’re at work, or extra attention during the day, I’d love to help 💖 I’m available to pick up your pet for walks or provide care directly in your home, where they feel safest and most comfortable. I know how important trust, routine, and environment can be for dogs, so I always try to make their experience feel calm, familiar, and stress-free 🐶🐈

Produce And Waterfront, Oakland, CA, 94607

About: I have had and cared for pets since childhood, rescuing (literally from the streets) a lovely pitbull named Olive when I lived in Philadelphia. Moved to CA in May 2026 from East Coast. I recently moved to CA to support my wife’s new job in SF. I have a fully open schedule at the moment and with a love of animals I thought that this would be a better way to learn and love my new community than digging through online job ads. I am willing to sit, play, walk, feed and care for your pets as needed. I’m an active (formerly collegiate) runner and can go as fast or slowly as your pet needs. I have reliable transportation and experience in pet first aid as I recently completed my tenure as an Emergency Manager with the American Red Cross.

About: My pet care experience includes looking after cats, dogs, fish, and hamsters. I'm happy to maintain litter boxes, take dogs on long walks and play fetch, spend time with cats, administer pills and medications to any animal (even if they are not excited about it), and provide pets and scritches whenever needed I'm currently working 8-4:30 with open availability every early morning, evening, and weekend from now until June 6! During the summers, my availability will be completely open! I am experienced caring for pets in other people's homes, but unfortunately not in my own because I have two rescued cats of my own. I love taking dogs on walks, feeding and spending time with cats, and looking after all types of animals in your home!

Christine is wonderful. In the past, our kitty would hide under the bed while we we away. With Christine, she is waiting for her to come. Christine has lots of playtime and treats. She is interested in interacting with my kitty. She sends pictures! She is punctual, on time. I can trust she will follow through on the items discussed. Our kitty loves her and we are super happy to have found her. I highly recommend her services.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs my whole life within my family but I’ve also taken my own path on raising puppies from the liter of my own dogs in my parents home having babies. As I’ve gotten older, I’ve taken in two dogs from the streets and have been raising them since one month old. I work for myself so any time I’d need to accommodate for your pups needs I can do that ! I just want to be of convenience for the dog parents because I know how hard it can be managing your life with your fur baby. I have crates if preferred to be used but I also have my own babies that I can bring over to spend time with your fur baby so they don’t feel alone or left out. My babies love other dogs, they are so playful and fun !
