About: My family has owned dogs since I was a baby, cats since I was 5, and I have helped care for them since I was 10: feeding/playing with them, dog walking, cleaning litter boxes. I’ve also helped take care of other family/friend pets. I worked, interned, and volunteered at a local animal shelter where I was trained to walk/care for/train dogs, play with/feed cats, and cleaned kennels/litter boxes. Over the summer of 2024, I worked at the Oakland Zoo where I gained experience on caring for wild animals. I am taking classes at the local community college. I am available weekends, Monday’s after 12:30pm, Tuesday/Thursday before 1pm and after 3:30pm, Wednesday’s between 12:30pm and 4pm, and Friday’s before 4pm. When I am free, I’m available to walk/feed dogs and take care of cats in their homes. I will send pictures showing the progress of the walk/visit. I will also write texts to update when I bring the dog outside, when I’m returning from a walk, and when I’m leaving and locking up the house. I own a car and am able to drive to your home to take care of your pets. I can also bring dogs for walks or drive them to a park to play outside if wanted. If I do drive them anywhere, I will make sure to text when I am leaving (house/park) and arriving to the park or back to the house to show the dog made the trip safely.

9. David & Mabel P.

10. Meuy S.
“Meuy has been a loving and dedicated dog owner for most of her life, and her care and compassion truly shine through in the way she looks after dogs. She has taken care of both of my dogs multiple times whenever I needed a sitter, and I always know they are in great hands with her. My dogs can be pretty needy, but Meuy always goes above and beyond—whether it’s feeding them, taking them on walks, or simply giving them the attention they crave. She is incredibly reliable, and my dogs absolutely love her. In fact, they get so excited to be at her house that sometimes they don’t even want to come home when I pick them up! That’s when you know your dogs have been truly well cared for. I highly recommend Meuy to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and responsible dog sitter!”

Buster arrived healthy, happy and even leash trained as well as starting his sit and lay commands. We were very happy!”


13. Adam H.

“Adam is a wonderful pet carer and our shy rescue pup immediately warmed up to him. He has a great, calming, positive energy and is completely trustworthy. As soon as I met him, I knew Chami would be in good hands. He's very punctual, always bang on time to walk our dog and responsive with messaging and photo updates. I would 100% recommend him!”

16. Ava D.

She works very hard, great at communicating in advanced and works well with who she is caring for. Even now I know I can rely on Ava to fulfill any responsibility. She would be an amazing caregiver for any loved ones!”
