Pet Sitting & Drop Ins in Durant Manor, Oakland

“Sarah was awesome for her drop-in visit and graciously shared her extensive knowledge with us—as new dog owners, we sincerely value her guidance and support with our dog.”

“Marlene just did the first drop in visit for our two dogs. She was very communicative, punctual, and made sure to secure the house when she left. Plus it was a very rainy day, and she got the dogs all cleaned up when they came in from the yard. Glad we found a reliable person.”

“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.”

“Devyn was wonderful! She was great to work with and she and Cali hit it off right from the start! She was communicative and sent updates with pic-look forward to having her sit for Cali again in the future.”

“Megan takes amazing care of our girl. The pictures and updates she sends are just such a comfort when we’re away from home. One picture from this most recent trip with our dog’s huge, full-teeth smile had us laughing out loud but also just made us so happy that she was that happy while her family was away. We feel so incredibly lucky to have Megan as our dog sitter. Thank you, Megan!!”

“Ashtyn was a wonderful sitter for my cat! She is a great communicator and thorough in her care while I was away and I will definitely reach out again in the future. Thank you!!”

“At the meet and greet Tina gently introduced herself to Chilli, listened closely as we toured our home, took notes asked questions. She followed the written instructions we left for her and confirmed additional instructions we texted after we left for our trip. She texted us pictures of Chilli with updates. She also went beyond her responsibilities and checked for ants that had invaded our home before we left for our trip. She exceeded our expectations and we’ll definitely schedule her again soon!”

“Nelly is an absolute life saver!! There aren't enough thank yous or stars in the world to reflect my gratitude for the peace of mind she gave me. Simply the best! Thank you!!!”

“I highly recommend Lucero as a pet caregiver! She recently (last week) took care of my 4-month-old Maine Coon mix, Peach, while I was away visiting family for a week. From the moment I met Lucero, it was clear she had a deep understanding and love for animals. My partner had already spoken highly of her, sharing how much her own cat loves and trusts Lucero, so I knew Peach would be in good hands. Lucero stayed at my home for the entire week, ensuring Peach received the best care possible. She followed my instructions perfectly, feeding Peach three times a day and dedicating at least 20 minutes each day to playtime, which Peach adored. Throughout my vacation, Lucero went above and beyond to keep me updated on how Peach was doing. She sent regular texts filled with pictures and videos of Peach, along with sweet messages that reassured me that everything was going smoothly. Knowing that Peach was not just being cared for, but genuinely loved and entertained, allowed me to enjoy my time away without any worries. When I returned home, I was thrilled to find my home in pristine condition and a very happy, content kitty waiting for me. Lucero's attention to detail, responsibility, and genuine affection for Peach made all the difference. If you're looking for someone who will treat your pets with the same love and care that you do, Lucero is the perfect choice. I highly recommend her services, especially for in-home stays—she truly is a fantastic pet caregiver!”

“Thank you so much’ we made it home and she yelled at me for a good while! Did u leave the key somewhere?”

“Kacie did a great job with drop in visits for our two cats while we were out of town. She provided updates and pictures each day and it was nice knowing the cats were in good hands. I highly recommend booking with her!”

About: I have had pets, cats and dogs since childhood. I don’t remember not having a pet at any time in my life. Animals are therapeutic. I am available every week day between 4-6pm on weekdays. I have flexibility on the weekends. On Sundays however, I will be available after 2pm. Besides providing for my dog’s basic needs I walk and play with her every chance I get everyday. I value the emotional bond with her.

“Jerrica has always had a special place in her heart for animals. Growing up she had her own little letting zoo and treated all her pets like they were her own children. She is a good person at heart and will treat your animals like her own. She has a cat named Oli and he his her world !!”

“Natalia is amazing and she was great with my dog! She was punctual and responsive and also sent great pics of my dg while we were out of town. Will totally use her services again! Thank you!”

About: I've had the pleasure of caring for a range of pups, from playful puppies to wise seniors, through doggy daycare, house sitting, and daily walks. I’m currently the proud mother of a 100-lb, 6-year-old German Shepherd Mix who’s been with me since he was just a few months old. I love long strolls (on the sidewalk), epic games of tug-of-war, and fetch marathons. Meeting new doggie friends is always a highlight of my day. Who enjoys these activities more, me or the dog? We’ll find out! I work from home and will be available to care for your dog as requested. Please note any specific requests regarding your dog's preferred schedule. My dog is spoiled and has plenty of toys to share: feeding toys, edible chews, chew toys, fetch toys, tug toys, the works. I will follow your wishes on how you care for your dog and will send pictures and updates. I welcome the opportunity for you to visit us in advance to ensure you and your pet are comfortable in our home.

“Great updates! 🐶 and photos! Thank you, 🐶 and I both got a break!”

“Eva has housesat for me many times for my high maintenance dog. She always makes an effort to give her long walks and lots of TLC! I would 100% recommend as she’s been caring for my dog for many years.”

“Karla is thorough and reliable, and she sends great summaries with lots of photos. Our very shy kitty has really warmed up to her. Highly recommend!”

“Niobe has house sat for me many times. I have a puppy who is high maintenance and needs a lot of attention. Niobe always makes an effort to play with my puppy and give her lots of TLC! I would 100% recommend her!”

“Stuart has been a dog lover from the first day I met him over 20 years ago. He owned a dog as a child and has always had an attraction to dogs of any type his entire life. He finally got into a position to be a dog owner once again a few years back and has been an attentive dog parent for KD. KD is a great rescue dog that has a mild and friendly temperament with all that he comes into contact with. Stuart would be a great dog sitter or dog caregiver if given the opportunity.”
