“Sky was fantastic with our super active Border Collie, Rocket! She was on time, communicative, and clearly knows how to handle high-energy dogs—Rocket came home ready for a nap, which is exactly what we hoped for. We’re looking forward to having her walk him again soon!”

About: I’ve loved animals since childhood and have over 10 years of experience in pet care. I approach pets with both confidence and affection. I enjoy getting to know the unique personalities and helping them feel safe and loved. In addition to caring for other people’s pets I’ve had many of my own Including three cats and seven dogs ranging in age from six weeks to 14 years old. I’ve trained and walked dogs of all sizes from Chihuahuas to bull breeds in the neighborhoods and along nature trails. I’ve also taken dog training classes and have volunteered at the Oakland SPCA. I’ve trained puppies, and I’ve cared for older pets. I’m here to meet your pet’s care needs with compassion, reliability, and the experience they deserve. I’m looking for work. I can do in the afternoon and or evenings Monday through Friday and occasionally weekends. I am also available for late night check-in if you need it. I offer dog walking and dog/cat sitting.

About: I am very good at training puppies. And have grown up around all different kinds of animals my whole life, from dogs to horses to turtles to chicken and pigs. I am home every day and can pay attention to your pet for as long as you need. And also need to earn some extra cash to help with everyday living. I have a beautiful 9 year old daughter. So the extra cash really helps out. THANK YOU! My availability is very much open to fit to your schedule, I'm currently not working so I can tend to your pets needs as much as they want. I don't leave any pets unattended when let outside. I usually will hang out in the backyard with them. And I will always make sure that they are comfortable and everything is taken care of anytime before I leave.

“Kerri is amazing on walks with our energetic and reactive dog Buster! She's very kind and calm with him, and he responds so well with her. We also appreciate how prompt and communicative Kerri has been.”


About: From 8 years old onward, I grew up with my brother in fur, Zoopy. The Zoop (as my family called him) was my best friend as I transitioned from childhood to adulthood. I walked him every day, picked up his poop, fed him, and most importantly, loved him with everything I had to give. Since he passed away when I was 20 years old, I have enjoyed casual walks for dogs of friends and family. Even though I didn’t grow up with cats, my girlfriend has a couple of Siamese cats and I adore them. I work fully remote and my schedule is flexible, so I can walk your dogs anytime! My weekends generally get a bit busier, but with enough notice, I can happily accommodate weekend walks. I’m happy to take care of your dog and play with them in your own home! I can accommodate whatever form of exercise you prefer for them, including multiple walks per day!

About: I began caring for pets at the age of 8, starting with my two cats, fish, and a bird. Over the years, I have gained extensive experience walking dogs, providing house sitting for dogs of all sizes, and caring for cats. Most recently, I adopted two kittens of my own, and my passion for animals continues to grow every day. I’m currently working part time, so I have plenty of time to play with your animals! I can usually start walking animals around 9am- after 6pm. My schedule is super flexible. I can stay over and house sit whenever, as long as I get a couple of days notice to pack, etc. I always make sure the doors, gates are locked so there is no chance of your dog running loose into the street. I can crate your dogs or snuggle with them at night. Whatever you do with your fur babies, I can do too, so that they can feel the most comfortable when you are away!

About: Offer frequent updates and I am reliable on safety, and dedicated to happy pups and a peace of mind! I navigate through calmness and have a flexible schedule! Pet care is natural part of my daily routine. I live in artist lofts with no pet fees, so I’m out in my complex talking to all the cats and neighbors with dogs. I help feed and walk my neighbors pets whenever they need. It’s like clockwork! My comfortable loft is calm, and pet friendly. Their playtime will be supervised, and I’ve invested in plenty of gates and pens so they are kept safe. When entering a guests home, I will remain respectful to their space and keep everything familiar for the pet. I will keep updating, clean up after the pets and I, as well as loosen of any stress for the pet while the owner is away.

About: I've grown up owning dogs my whole life, and I own my own dog as well. I honestly think it's impossible to be sad when a dog is in your life, and it is our responsibility to take care of them as best as we can. I would love to spend time and take care of your dog in the event you cannot. They should't have to feel so alone when we are busy! My puppy is very social, kind, and loves to play with other dogs. She is spayed so there is no worry there. I promise to take the best care of your dog, as if it was my own. I am also a strong believer in training dogs and keeping them on their own routine. I am very respectful of the rules or standards that each owner has for their dog, and plan on carrying those out exactly as you ask. I have a very flexible schedule currently and can accommodate many different times. Feel free to reach out and we can find a common time that works for you, your pet and me! Safety and trust are the most important aspect of caring for other animals. They are not just our pets but members of our family and I always keep that in mind. I will send photos and always be transparent about how your dog is doing.

About: I have been around pets my whole life. I have a dog and cat who are my world. I also want to inform that my boyfriend does this with me when he is able to. It's either me, him, or most likely both of us! We are very excited to grow this business as a team. My main focus is growing the business, so typically this is my only job, and my partner has a seasonal job. That means I/WE have plenty of time with your fur babies! We offer cat boarding services where they are kept purrfectly clean and happy with a side of playtime, definitely feeding and watering. They will get the attention they need from us and each other! We treat your furry companions like we treat our own🐕🐈

About: I am very attentive to the needs of your pets, especially if they are older and slower, but I also enjoy energetic puppies and pets that need some training and just need some positive re-enforcement. I am available to House sit - although I don't know how to reflect that on the website. I actively practice positive reinforcement obedience training. My schedule is open now in general but I may do a retreat every so often. I nearby in the Bay Area, my schedule is more flexible. I prefer to care for pets in their own homes, since I live in a small place. I am attentive to the needs of the pet and if I see that the pet needs exercise, I make sure they get sufficient exercise through their regular routines.

About: I’ve had many different pets since I was a kid! From ducks to dogs I have experienced and taken care of all sorts of animals, and I hope to take care of yours too. I am available all days of the week! For the summer my days will be completely free so all of my attentions can go to your pets! The area of my house your pets will be in is completely pet proof, and I also currently do not have any other pets so there will be no safety hazards concerning pets that do not get along.

About: Experienced pet parent to both dogs and cats with years of caring for friends' and neighbors' beloved companions. I provide attentive in-home sitting, overnight care, and enjoyable walks. I've successfully leash-trained older dogs and I love giving pets the exercise and affection they need. Your loved ones will receive the same care I give my own pets - consistent attention, plenty of play time, and a comfortable environment that feels like home. I work (mostly) at home. My own dog gets 4-5 walks per day during the week. Weekends are variable, but I try to have her outside for a good bit of the day. I live in an apartment. Outside time will have to be under my control when we go out for walks and pee breaks. Others' dogs can be crated if that's what makes them comfortable, but I typically let them hang out with my dog around the apartment. My dog is a voracious eater, so if other dogs are slow eaters, I'll have to separate their food (and maybe them for a bit) from my own.

Mia A.
“Mia has a gift for working with animals. She started having pets at a young age with fish, mice, hamsters and birds, taking joy in interacting with them, feeding them, always being the first one to notice any health concerns. As she grew older she went to zoo camp, to SCPA camp, and she graduated to counselor sharing her love of animals with other children. Over the last few years she has regularly walked her many dogs, cleaned up after them, made sure they received needed vet care and nursed them back to health after surgery or illness. When younger, she would walk her two Chihuahua mixes, and helped care for them as they aged, became less mobile, and needed extra attention and medications. As a young adult, she raised one puppy Pit Bull from 6 weeks (now 5 years old), and adopted a mistreated Pit/Lab mix, who is now her best friend and companion. She is excellent at ensuring their routines are followed and spending quality time with them. She uses treats wisely, and has trained her dogs to follow her lead, sit and wait when commanded. She ensures regular vet care and gives medications, applies lotions and other vet-prescribed care with kindness. As she has started dog walking and care professionally, she has been a reliable, trusted caregiver. She has demonstrated her capacity with all types of dogs and her understanding that dogs not only need food, water and walking or play, but also interaction, reassurance, and love. I admire her ease with and love for animals, and am glad she can share her gift with other pet owners.”


Lanie M.
“Lanie is an absolute doll. She has taken such good care of my little pups for over 6 years and couldn't ask for a better person than her. She has always been on time and even stays longer than she is needed just to make sure my pups are good. She's simply amazing!!”

“Reyna has house sat and watch our 3 year old Boxer/pit mix multiple times. She really listened to our needs for Toastie and has always done a great job taking care of our fur baby. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter.”
