About: I’m the devoted doggie aunt to some pretty fantastic pups, and I genuinely love spending time with dogs. Walks aren’t something I rush through—I’m happy to let your dog sniff, explore, get some exercise and enjoy being outside. I’m dependable, attentive and comfortable following your dog’s particular routine, whether that means a brisk walk, a leisurely neighborhood sniffari, playtime or just some extra company and affection. I’ll treat your pup like one of my own—even though I’m still waiting for one of my own! My schedule is currently very flexible, which means I can accommodate weekday and weekend visits and walks, including daytime hours when many people are at work. I’m happy to work around your pet’s established routine and give them the time and attention they’re accustomed to. I know that trusting someone with your pet—and access to your home—is a big deal. I’m mature, dependable, communicative and respectful of your space and your pet’s routine. I follow instructions carefully, pay attention to changes in behavior, and know how to stay calm if something unexpected happens. Most importantly, I’ll treat your pets with patience, kindness and affection.

About: Peace of mind, clear communication, and absolute reliability for your pets. As a lifelong animal lover with over 40 years of pet care experience, I offer mature, accountable, and dependable care focused on neighborhood dog walks and drop-in visits throughout Oakland. My background in structured animal handling began decades ago in Norway, where I trained my first working dog alongside handlers from the Air Force Dog School long before positive reinforcement became the industry standard. Whether your dog needs a calming mid-day outdoor break or your pets need attentive drop-in feeding, my priority is keeping them happy, safe, and comfortable in their familiar environment. What sets my care apart: • Mature & Accountable: Punctual, highly responsible, and strictly respectful of your home, privacy, and care routines. Perfect for professionals wanting flawless communication. • Calming, Specialized Approach: Patient, positive reinforcement handling specifically tailored to adult dogs, shy pets, or gentle seniors who thrive on a steady, reassuring routine. • Advanced Pet Care: Fully experienced in administering oral medications and managing complex senior care schedules. • Local Oakland Focus: Dedicated entirely to Ivy Hill, Lake Merritt, Grand Lake, and immediate surrounding neighborhoods. (Please note: For walks and drop-in visits, I focus primarily on adult and senior pets to ensure the highest quality of focused, low-stress care. I look forward to meeting you and your pet for a free initial Meet & Greet!) As an independent professional, my schedule offers generous flexibility for pet care throughout the day and evening. I am readily available for morning, mid-day, afternoon, and evening neighborhood walks, as well as flexible drop-in visits for feeding, walks, and evening companionship. My open schedule allows me to dedicate my full, focused attention to your pet’s routine without feeling rushed. Safety and trust are my absolute highest priorities when caring for your pets and respecting your home. During neighborhood walks, I use secure leashes, maintain active situational awareness, and keep a calm, positive demeanor tailored to your dog’s comfort. For in-home drop-in visits, I follow your exact feeding, care, and home security instructions to ensure your pets feel completely safe and secure in their familiar environment.

“Emma was calm, caring, and just an overall incredible cat sitter for our two cats. Our kitties immediately hopped in her lap as soon as she walked through the door. We will absolutely book with her again!”

“My first time having a pet sitter and Christina was excellent. My dog normally isnt very friendly but he seems to totally trust Christina by the time I got back. I'd 100% rebook for the next time. Thanks Christina.”

“Breckyn was a very supportive and enthusiastic pet sitter. I'm doing a trial adoption for two 6 mo old kittens who I've only had for a couple of days. Breckyn had great tidbits of advice for me, and took great care of the sweet kittens at short notice. Thank you! 🙏”

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

“She was sweet with my kitty. Would definitely rebook.”
