Pet Sitting & Drop Ins in Dimond, Oakland

“Our dogs can be nervous around new people and seeing how happy and relaxed they were when Maia came by for drop-in visits was such a joy! Getting photo updates and communication from Maia put our minds at ease, we are grateful to know they are in good hands with her and will be booking again.”

“LaDonna showed so much kindness and compassion to my little Roxy! She sent pictures and gave me regular updates. I will definitely be requesting her services again in the future!”

“Hannah is legitimately a dog whisperer. My pitbull is fearful and reactive toward people, but within a few minutes of their first meeting, Hannah had Maisie taking treats from her hand and playing fetch. Once she started playing fetch with Maisie, my dog completely ignored me and kept bringing the ball back to Hannah instead of me. Maisie has never done that with other people. I've had Hannah come to the house 3x and it's been great every time. Maisie loves her. Hannah is really easy to communicate with, is always on time and has great ideas about how to work with my dogs. I trust her and her instincts completely.”

“Zsa Zsa was absolutely wonderful and went above and beyond to care for Dinka. The visits were during a period of high heat and she conscientiously checked the temperature each day to make sure the home didn’t get too hot for my cat. She is kind and patient with cats, and very communicative and responsible. I highly recommend her as a catsitter!”

“Emma was so helpful with our senior kitty! I especially appreciate the notes she leaves about how the visit went! Will definitely work with her again.”

“Anais was a great sitter! I always feel more comfortable leaving my cats when I know that they are in the hands of a true animal lover, and Anais is definitely that. She was a great communicator and able to follow instructions on giving our special needs cat an inhaler dose every day. She event went above and beyond by trimming my cats’ nails! I would definitely book with her again.”

About: I have experience caring for furry dog friends. I'm comfortable with walking, feeding, giving medication, and providing attention and playtime. Whether your dog is energetic or laid-back, I make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. Hi, my name is G'la! I'm excited to meet new pets and provide them with loving, reliable care. I work a hybrid schedule, which gives me the flexibility to offer consistent attention and companionship throughout the day. Whether it’s a midday walk, playtime, or just keeping a furry friend company, I truly enjoy making pets a natural and joyful part of my daily routine. I adjust my care based on each pet’s routine and personality. In a client’s home, I follow their instructions closely to keep pets comfortable in their familiar space—feeding, walks, playtime, litter box or yard clean-up, medication, and plenty of companionship. I also make sure the home stays clean, safe, and secure. If I’m caring for pets in my own home, I create a calm, pet-friendly environment with plenty of space, enrichment, and supervision. I keep to their feeding and exercise schedule and give them lots of affection and attention to help them feel at ease while they're away from home.

About: I have over five years of experience caring for, playing with, and supporting all sizes of dogs. This includes adopting a puppy of my own. I am currently a co-parent to a four-year-old Chihuahua Terrier that I trained. Additionally, I have experience caring for senior dogs, sick dogs who need to visit the vet, and dogs with specific behavioral issues. I am a business consultant and a life coach working from home, which allows me to have a very flexible schedule. This flexibility makes it easy for me to take dogs on walks, hikes, and potty breaks. I enjoy spending time outdoors, soaking up the sunshine, and walking around the neighborhood. Having a dog by my side would add to the fun of these activities. I am very sensitive to people's homes and their dogs' routines. I follow instructions carefully and maintain a calm, centered space at home for the dog to feel confident and safe with me.

“Alondra took great care of my dog while I was away for a week with daily walks in a variety of different parks and scenic places. She was super communicative and would highly recommend her!”

“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.”

About: Dogs have always been an important part of my life. I grew up with large and medium sized ranch dogs, and have taken care of small dogs growing up. I have experienced the full spectrum of canine care from puppies to end of life. Frequently I take care of dogs for family members as well and I love puppies! I have experience aiding in puppy training (not a certified professional but can help continue your home training), walking, feeding, bathing dogs and giving canine medication. I fully believe that dogs are meant to be outside and exercised as much as they are able for the best quality of life. From hikes, parks, walks around the block and cuddles, I’ll be there for your pup! I’m a graduate student therefore my availability for walks and drop ins, is strict to Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays. But flexible during the hours of those days. Some evenings can be arranged on Thursdays and Fridays on a case by case basis. I can only offer daytime boarding in my home on Tuesdays as that is when I have online classes. Currently have some flexibility before classes start. I do really well with instructions if you have any specific needs for your pup! I am willing to clean up after puppy messes as well during puppy drop ins. For pups staying with me, I have a large fenced in backyard for your pet to lounge in. It is mostly made of brick and synthetic grass so your pup with stay clean with me! There is also a large dog park located a 10 minute walk away from me.

About: I have experience walking and watching dogs of all sizes :) I especially appreciate the energy of a young pup, must be leash trained if they are over 50lbs. Available 10am-3pm for dog visits/walks, cat visits, & cat sitting. Looking to make pet friends to visit & build relationships with dogs/cats who need TLC/Care/a buddy/Attention while you're out. I cannot care for dogs/cats/pets in my home currently. I do not have the space currently to allow for caring for additional pets. I hope to board in the future but I cannot now. Thanks for understanding.

About: Hey there! I'm Melissa, and I'm looking to keep your pets happy and healthy while you're away. I grew up raising childhood dogs from puppies to seniors, and am currently the owner of two rambunctious cats. I have never lived anywhere without animals and dont intend to! Being around animals is the highlight of my day, whether it's teaching them new tricks ( surprisingly, sometimes cats included), exploring the neighborhoods, or taking naps together. Looking forward to meeting you and your critters! I currently have a fairly flexible schedule which allows to me to adjust my daily availability to fit with where I am needed by families! It is important to have clear communication between me and my clients to fully understand the expectations of pet and house care / the responsibilities I am trusted with!

“Amy was great! My cat was a huge fan.”

About: Free Meet & Greets! Animals have always been a huge part of my life. From growing up with dogs and cats to caring for senior pets and high energy puppies. I’m the kind of person who talks to animals like they’re family, and I treat each pet with the same love, patience, and attention I’d want for my own. What sets me apart? I pay close attention to a pet’s individual needs and energy. Whether your pup needs a long walk to burn energy, your cat prefers quiet companionship, or your senior dog needs slow, gentle care, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, loved, and understood. I’m comfortable administering medications, sticking to specific feeding or care routines, and keeping communication open with you so you feel at ease while you're away. I’m currently fully available and have a flexible schedule, which means I can easily work around your pet’s needs. Whether it’s early mornings, midday check-ins, or evening snuggles, I’ve got the time and energy to be there when you need me. Your pet will get consistent care and attention, every time. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and loving environment. I pay close attention to routines, feeding instructions, and any special needs to make sure your pet feels secure and comfortable. I keep spaces clean, remove any hazards, and never leave pets unsupervised in situations that could be unsafe (like off-leash unless fenced). In your home, I respect your space just as much as I respect your pet—I treat it with care and leave things just as I found them (or cleaner!). I know it takes trust to let someone care for your furry family, and I take that seriously. Clear communication and gentle, attentive care are what I bring every time.
