She followed all instructions carefully, and my cat HaoHao was happy and well cared for. We felt at ease knowing Lucy was looking after her. Will definitely be booking again!”

About: Rover is an amazing thing in my family's life. Our whole household REALLY LOVES DOGS. We love all the different dog personalities we get to know. We genuinely appreciate pet families trusting us to care for their pet(s). Boarding is our most used and preferred service of the Tree House. We have many regular clients who use our Boarding and Doggy Day Care services. We love all sizes of dogs and the full range of dog personalities. We host up to 3 guest dogs at a time and are very conscientious of the dogs we host and how they will interact. Therefore, if your dog does not do well with other dogs, our house may not be a great fit for your pet. We get requests for exclusive bookings, and where we can accommodate these requests, we will. ****price for exclusive bookings is 2X our service rate, boarding or day care slot**** We require all new clients to do a meet-&-greet, so we can only accommodate last-minute new clients if we get a solid referral from another sitter, you are a friend of the family, or one of our regular clients referred you. We have found our guests do much better when they have been here and sniffed about before their stay. Your dog(s) will be loved and treated with the utmost respect by every member of our household and any other guests. Our home is very relaxed, and our backyard is a dog paradise with lots of shade and different areas for dogs to claim their own space. We always have a crew of dogs, so your dog will have plenty of stimulation and exercise while at our home. We work from home and are here nearly all the time. Pickup and drop-off times are flexible—the key is communication and consideration—fees may apply where either is lacking. The yard has plenty of room for guests to stretch it out and find their own space. We are happy to accommodate crating, and problem children will have some sort of time out until they can ground and be good guests. We are not disciplinarians but are pretty good at setting boundaries thru timeouts and rewards.

“Kennia was fantastic with our very non-standard request for handling our dog Poppy. We will definitely be getting in touch with her again when we need someone to watch our dog!”

About: I have been walking dogs and sitting for cats and dogs for over 10 years. Mostly for family friends and neighbors. I love dogs and have lived with a big husky for also over 10 years. I grew up with cats aswell. I have experience walking big dogs that pull and i have even been able to train some dogs. I now live in a house with a big fenced backyard so i would love to host dogs. I work from home aswell so i am always around to take care of them. i work full time from home as an artist. I go on walks everyday and i am always able to give your pet attention! I have a car aswell so transportation is easy. I spend a lot of time in my backyard and would love to play with more animals. It is completely fenced in. I have a fenced yard with lots of space to run. Im already very active and love to go on walks and hikes. I work at home so everyday i am here except for grocery shopping and errands!

“Jonathan was great. I was on an 8 day deep sea fishing trip and had no way to communicate while out to sea. But when I made it back to civilization I was pleased to receive photos and videos from Jonathan from each day I was gone which set me at ease knowing my kitties were fine and in good hands. I'll definitely be using Jonathan again and would recommend him to anyone needing help with their furry friends.”

About: i’ve been a dog mom for 20+ years and have basically had dogs my whole life. i trained my own dog from puppyhood and i’ve helped friends (and other pet parents) with basic training and routine stuff too. i’ve taken multiple training classes, so i’m comfortable with things like leash manners, boundaries, and reinforcing good behavior in a calm, consistent way. i’m naturally really good with dogs and i’m great at reading their body language, even the ones that are anxious, reactive, or “don’t usually like people.” i’m patient, confident, and i keep things low-stress so pups feel safe and listened to. i work from home, so i’ve got plenty of time to give your pup real attention throughout the day (not just quick check-ins). i’m happy to do multiple walks a day, and since i’m near downtown oakland, we’ve got plenty of great walk routes, lake merritt, nearby parks, and lots of good “sniffari” streets. in my home, your pup gets a safe, relaxed setup with lots of attention. i have a fenced patio so they can hang in the sun and get fresh air, and inside they’ll have plenty of room to stretch out, lounge, and roam comfortably. we’ve also got nearby open spaces, fields, and trails for walks and play. depending on your dog and what you’re comfortable with, i can do off-leash play (only where it’s safe/appropriate) or keep everything leashed, solo adventures or playtime with my dogs if your pup enjoys company. i’m big on following your routine and keeping things consistent: feeding schedules, meds, crate time, training cues, slow introductions, whatever your dog needs. i’m totally comfortable with seniors, shy/anxious pups, and dogs with special instructions. and if your dog would do best with more backyard time, i can also utilize my girlfriend’s place nearby with a fully fenced backyard for extra outdoor play/sniff time (with your permission).

About: I’ve been around dogs since i was a little girl, i have two senior pets of my own, 15 and 12 years old! a chihuahua and a yorkie mix, and one who is up in heaven. with my senior babies i have learned when to be delicate and when they want to play, I taught my senior chihuahua how to sit and give a paw (even though he’s got a couple screws loose) its not much at all, but its a big achievement for him! with your doggies i would love to learn everything, from favorite treats to favorite routes to walk in! i will adjust my schedule to you and your pets needs! i try my best to be extremely flexible as i know that life just happens sometimes. In regards to caring for your babies, their safety and comfort is my first priority, i would like for them to be comfortable with me instead of your pets being scared, for senior dog care i understand completely the hassle of being careful and the accidents that come along (im an excellent cleaner thanks to my senior dogs) with cats and younger dogs i find i adapt quickly with new environments with the help of you and instructions, i will most likely ask a bunch of questions and it will be only in regards of your pets, everything goes the same with cats! if you would like a drop in i’d be happy to negotiate a time and place! i forward to meeting you and your fur babies!

“Kept my Nini safe and communicated during the drop-in visit.”

About: Greetings! I'm Patrick. I've done a bunch of pet and house sitting on another platform, as well as for family, friends and acquaintances, besides having my own pets or sharing them with past partners. I used to practice massage therapy and reiki. I bring a similar intention to handling pets that I brought to responding to clients needs. I'd like to do part-time pet care in the East Bay, with some availability to housesit for longer sits around the full Bay Area. I can be more spontaneous for pet care near Oakland depending upon the timing. For longer resident sits please try to give me a week or two notice with a request. I'll see what works. Thanks! What an honor it is to care for people's homes and pets! I feel excited to transition my pet and house-sitting to this platform. Thanks for your consideration. I enjoy caring for pets and homes. I appreciate the trust-building process, staying accountable and growing as a person, all which these experiences foster. I intend to be a respectful well-communicating sitter and to provide a safe fun atmosphere for your pets. I appreciate receiving questions and feedback during a video chat or in person meet and greet where we get to know each other.

“Iris asked great questions about caring for Cleo and took her on a practice walk to get ready for when I’m out of town.”
