“Anais took excellent care of our pets and home while we were away for the weekend. Our dog can be a little finicky and needs a lot of company, but Anais was enthusiastic about getting to know his routine and we arrived home to find relaxed animals and the house just like we left it (she even washed her sheets - really not necessary!). Thanks Anais!”

About: (I go by my middle name Miko as well) Throughout my life, I've been in contact with many different animals-from parrots to lizards, bunnies and guinea pigs. I've had the most experience with cats since I volunteer at my local animal adoption center and shelter in feline support. My dog experience is helping out walking or staying overnight with my friends' fur babies (senior or otherwise) if they are away. I cannot provide dog or cat boarding :(! I am currently a full time college student but I have plenty of time to spare with your pets! I am available during the day or overnight on weekends. On weekdays, I am available after 5pm and I am able to stay overnight on certain week days. I always try to make sure to stick to your pets regular routine to help them adjust to this new person taking care of them. I always want to take care of not only their physical well-being but their mental wellbeing!
“Jesika and Jyhikeen sat for our 3 rambunctious cats for 10 days, and were wonderful! Great, caring communication, daily photos, and we came home to a clean house and happy cats. We'd absolutely hire them again.”
“Alyssa is amazing! Our pups were so happy to stay with her, and she left our home super clean. We have an older pup who has a lot of special needs, and Alyssa always pays special attention to detail. She’s just the best and our pups agree!”
“Daria was absolutely wonderful on all fronts! She’s extremely timely with her communication/ responses and makes sure she understands all instructions before the visit starts. We have a senior dog with many needs including being carried up/down stairs and on a strict medication schedule, and Daria was very patient, meticulous in administering the medication, kept both dogs on schedule, and sent us photos and updates throughout our trip! We could tell they had been well taken care of and well-loved (and cuddled!) upon our return. The house/ guest space was kept very tidy. It would be an honor to have Daria watch our babies and home again in the future.”
“Nina was wonderful! Very good with our pets including a very young bottle fed kitten, a senior dog, and our sassy high energy bulldog. Highly recommend!!”
About: One of my first memories is of adopting a stray that we named Chiqule (Gum, in Spanish) because he decided to stick around. Ever since then I’ve picked up many of our four legged friends and made them family dogs. Many years since having my own pet, my love for our furry friends has yet to dwindle and I continue to pet-sit and house-sit just for the opportunity to hang in with a little fur ball. I have experience with a small senior dogs and dogs who have required medication, 3+ walks a day, or an extensive park visit. I’ve house-sat and makes sure to build my schedule around my four-legged, temporary bestie to ensure a stress-free time. I like to establish constant communication and updates with the pet-parent to make sure all is well. I regard play time highly but makes sure to only ruff-house and much as per-parent sees fit. Cuddles are optional but recommended. I my work hours are 8:30-5 but travel form Berkeley to Hayward so I can pop in within that 15 mile radius! My weekends are a lot more flexible. I make sure to follow a requested guideline and/or care checklist from pet-parents. I make sure to scope out the potential yard for any hazards and establish some trust with pets before going out on our first walk. If treats are allowed or provided, I will reward my furry friend when I see best on our initial walks to establish trust and respect. Play-time is important and can also be carried out as the pet-parent sees fit.
About: I genuinely enjoy being around dogs and cats. My eyes get big and soft at any type of a fur baby. I love animals in general. I currently work two part time jobs and have extra free time during the week and weekends to walk your fur babies and spoil them with lots of hugs and love. I will always make sure your babies are taken care of with lots of love and attention. When it’s cold they’ll be snuggled up in a nice warm blanket and when it’s hot I put the fan on blast and forsure they won’t be missing no meals or snacks with Tia Angie. Haha
