“Becca is awesome! I really appreciate her flexibility in our schedule and her reliable communication! On dog walking days she always sends pictures and a report card so I know how my pup did. On the days we come home after our dog has been on a walk with Becca he is always so happy and relaxed! I would totally recommend her services!”
“David was such a fantastic walker for our dog Nico- he came to do a practice walk beforehand and was super thorough, making sure he had all the info he needed from us. David was always communicative and punctual, and clearly took great care of Nico. Highly recommend!”

“Ananda was amazing - she was really helpful coordinating dates/times, she stopped by early to meet my dog, and she was lovely about keeping me updated with everything! I think she’d be a great sitter or walker that I’d recommend to anyone”

About: What sets me apart is the warmth and attention I bring to every animal in my care. I’ve worked with animals of all sizes and personalities, including seniors and anxious pups who need a little extra love and patience. Most pets settle in with me quickly because I take the time to understand what makes them feel safe, comfortable, and happy. I’ll play with your pet, stick to their routines, and treat them with the same care and respect you would. Your pets will be in loving, capable hands. I'm also fully insured through Pet Sitters Associates and Red Cross First Aid/CPR certified, so I'm well prepared for any accidents or emergencies. I work full-time from home, which gives me a lot of flexibility to provide care throughout the day. I can usually adjust my schedule around your pet’s routine and am used to balancing work with walks, feeding, and check-ins. That said, I do have occasional heads-down work time or virtual meetings, and I may step out for errands, food, or other appointments. It’s helpful if your pet is comfortable being alone or relaxing independently for up to 6 hours, but I’m happy to talk through what kind of care setup works best. It's important to me that your home feels cared for while you're away, and I do my best to make sure I leave it the way I found it. The more instructions you give me for what you'd like to see in your home, the more I'll be able to do for you during the sit! I'm also fully insured through Pet Sitters Associates and Red Cross First Aid/CPR certified, so I'm well prepared for any accidents or emergencies.
“Laura was an amazing sitter for my high-energy Vizsla, Ava! She was super kind, friendly, and communicative throughout the entire process. Ava had a fantastic time, and I could tell she was well cared for. Laura took her on a great, engaging walk that left her happy and tired—no small feat for a Vizsla! I really appreciate her attentiveness and would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend!”
About: I will care and love for your dog just as much as you do. I've done occasional dog sitting over the last couple of years, and I always have such a great time with the dogs that I care for. I'm often called a dog whisperer because most dogs just gravitate towards me. I am unable to have a dog of my own at the moment so having the opportunity to care for yours would be amazing. I love the pureness, and sincerity of a dog's character. I understand that your pet is family, and I will always treat them as such, their care is of the utmost importance to me. (However ,for the time being I can provide part-time care for your loved one )
About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience and calm, confident approach to pet care. I grew up caring for a German Shepherd and, starting at 16, three bulldogs—so I’m comfortable with big personalities, strong breeds, and all the drool that comes with them! I’ve also dog-sat for friends and taken their pups on regular walks, including those with anxiety or special routines. I’m patient, observant, and always make sure pets feel safe and loved while their humans are away. Whether your dog needs a running buddy, your senior cat needs a quiet companion, or your anxious pup just needs someone who understands—I’m here. I’m a morning person with a flexible schedule. Avid runner so can work with high energy dogs. I’m also available for evening walks and check-ins—perfect for pets with routines or extra energy. I’m able to provide more schedule details. I prioritize comfort, safety, and trust. I take time to get to know each pet’s personality and routine—whether that’s quiet companionship for cats or daily walks and play for dogs. On walks, I stay alert and avoid unfamiliar dogs unless I have permission to interact, always keeping your pet’s safety first. For cats, I create a calm, low-stress environment, keep their space tidy, and respect their boundaries.
About: I’ve cared for dogs, cats, and small pets my whole life, handling feeding, walks, grooming, and medication with patience and attentiveness. I understand different pet behaviors and needs, and always prioritize their comfort and safety. Caring for pets naturally fits into my daily and weekly routine by adding structure and meaningful breaks throughout my day. Taking dogs for walks or visiting cats gives me a chance to get outside, stay active, and practice responsibility while providing the consistent care that pets need. Each week, I plan my schedule around regular visits or walks, ensuring I balance pet care with other commitments like work or school. This routine helps me stay organized and brings joy by helping animals stay happy and healthy. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets. Whether the pet is at my home or the client’s, I make sure to create a calm and secure environment where they feel comfortable and loved. I follow all the owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding, exercise, and medication schedules, and I’m attentive to any signs of stress or discomfort. I keep the space clean and safe by removing hazards and monitoring pets closely during play and rest. Building trust with both pets and their owners is important to me, so I communicate regularly with updates and photos to give peace of mind.
About: I grew up with a huge array of animals including dogs and cats of all ages and sizes! I've had experience with everything from bottle feeding kittens to caring for elderly dogs. Plus my apartment complex has lots of really amazing amenities for pets including a large open-air park, two fenced in dog parks, walking trails, and a professional groomers style bathing station that are all open and available 24/7 for free! I don't currently have any of my own pets, which just means that I'm fully available to care for yours any day of the week! I also work from home which means that I will be able to provide constant attention and will never leave your pets unattended for long periods of time! I offer services like walking, day-care, and over night stays in my apartment here in Emeryville, California! I also have plenty of experience with bathing, grooming, nail trimming, and other general care activities.
About: I've been living with pets since I was a baby and since then have taken on a large role in their care. I love going on walks and taking pups to experience the outside world. I've been petsitting for family, friends and neighbors for about 8 years now and I'm so excited to meet your furry friends! I just completed high school and this summer I am going to take a community college class which is on mondays and wednesdays from 1:30-5:45pm. Other than that I am free to spend time with your pets! I will keep a keen eye on your pets and I am very good at assuring doors are closed and food is put away (my dog has been know to steal things from the counters and try to escape so I'm used to lil rascals).
“Very happy to have Anna Christine walking my little buddies. They are both needing different things and she is patient and made sure both dogs were happy and comfortable. She is kind and attentive and the dogs are so happy to have a mid day visit.”
“I am grateful for Cassandra's service as my mother's dog walker. She came to my rescue at the last minute and has provided outstanding care and attention to my mothers dog. She has been patience and understanding with Bash who can be a handful. Her dedication and professionalism exceeds my expectations. I highly recommend Cassandra to anyone in need of a reliable, compassionate, and patient dog walker. Thank you for the wonderful service! We really appreciate you. 💚”

She’s calm, observant, and always pays attention to the little things, which makes a huge difference when you're leaving your pet with someone else.

If you’re looking for someone who will treat your dog with real care and intention, you won’t find better than Yena.”
