“Sarah was amazing! Great communication, punctual , & seems extremely knowledgeable about pets. We have a rambunctious pup & she was even working with her on her walking skills. I will absolutely be using her again.”

“Eleanna is great! Her experience with dogs is obvious. I can tell she is confident and knowledgeable. She is also compassionate and I feel completely safe having her take care of my dog who gets a little nervous out there in the real world. I’m so grateful that I have met her and will call her back many times. Thanks!”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with over 20 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs. I currently have a dog of my own and understand just how much our pets mean to us—they’re family. When I moved my dad to California so I could become his full-time caregiver, bringing his dog with us was never a question. He’s an important part of our family and daily life. I previously had another beloved dog from the age of 13 through 27, giving me experience with puppies, adult dogs, and seniors. I’m comfortable providing patient, attentive care and making sure each dog feels safe, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. As someone who genuinely loves animals, I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. Whether your dog needs a walk, playtime, or simply some extra companionship, I’ll treat them with the same care and attention I give my own. Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine. I currently care for my own dog, so daily walks, feeding, playtime, and making sure he gets plenty of attention are already built into my schedule. Because I have a flexible schedule right now, I’m able to provide pets with extra attention, companionship, and care throughout the day rather than just fitting them in between other commitments. Whether it’s a walk, a drop-in visit, or keeping a pet company while their owner is away, I enjoy making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved. I believe every pet is happiest when their routine stays as consistent as possible. In a client’s home, I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications (if needed), playtime, and any household rules. I also make sure pets receive plenty of attention, affection, and exercise while their owners are away. For walks and drop-in visits, I prioritize safety, communication, and making sure each pet’s individual needs are met. I understand that every animal has a different personality and comfort level, so I take the time to build trust and help them feel secure. As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to have peace of mind when someone else is caring for your pet, and I treat every animal as if they were my own.

“Iryna is great! She is calm and friendly, and let my dog get comfortable with her at his own pace. Now he is excited to see Iryna and trots away with her for a walk. Highly recommended!”

About: I have over 6 years of experience as a cat & dog owner. Raised my own dog from a puppy (she’s now a happy 3-year-old Corgi!) and cared for two cats for several years also. I’m well versed in everything from high energy puppy play to the quiet, patient approach many cats prefer. I also have experience fostering dogs with complex behavioral needs, like those struggling with 'stranger danger' and anxiety. I know that building trust takes time & a calm presence. I take care of mine, and others’ furbabies as if they were my own children. As a college student that has classes online, my schedule can be quite flexible. I am happy & willing to work with clients to best help with what they need. Safety is super important to me (as it should be) because I understand you are entrusting me with basically your child. I am very attentive & vigilant. Always keeping an eye on your pet to make sure they are safe, and they’re surroundings are safe for them.

“Haylee is so good with animals! She took the time to let my nervous dogs warm up to her before attempting to leash and walk them. She is very in tune with animal energy which is what I need for my two!! Will definitely book again.”

JoeDay G.

“Another successful walk! Echo seems to have fully warmed up to Laura. She was able to take over the leash and we had a chill walk around a local park. Will definitely try some house sitting in the near future.”

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: Hi, I’m Austin – a lifelong dog lover with over 15 years of hands-on experience caring for pups of all sizes and temperaments. I’ve been looking after dogs since I was 12, and it’s more than just a job to me—it’s a way of life. I know every pet has a unique personality, and I take the time to build trust and make sure they feel safe, loved, and totally at ease. Whether your dog’s full of energy or a little shy like my own pup Lady, I’m all about meeting them where they’re at. You can count on me for dependable, compassionate care—and plenty of tail wags. Also, I can teach your dog how to shake within an hour (: I currently work from home and part time as I have my own business that I passively run with a lot of help from my manager. So I have plenty of time for your pets and my own pup I offer a calm, secure environment where pets can relax and feel at home. My house has plenty of space for them to roam inside, plus a large fully fenced backyard for safe outdoor play and fresh air. I always supervise backyard time and tailor the day to match your dog’s energy level and needs. If your pup is crate-trained or needs a quiet space to unwind, I’ve got clean, comfortable crates available. Safety is my top priority—I keep a close eye on each dog and never take on more pets than I can give proper attention to. You can trust that while you’re away, your dog will be in a safe, loving, and well-managed space.

“Nick was very prompt in communicating on the app and arranging a meet and greet with our dog Java. We will definitely use him again for dog walking!”

About: We promise your pup will have a great time with us- a daily run, evening stroll, plus unlimited attention from our seven year old daughter! We also have a four-year-old lab mix (Boston) who is great with other dogs and will be happy to have a playmate. We work from home and walk our dog regularly. we'd be happy to take your dog along too. Plus, there are great parks nearby, and I head up to the Oakland hills several days a week. Our home is ideal for dogs, as we have a fully fenced in backyard with plenty of space to run around. Inside, the dogs are welcome to cuddle up on the couch with us and generally be underfoot no matter what we're up to. During weekends, it is common for us to go on longer hikes and take the dogs. On weekdays, we work from home, which means the dogs can hang out where they please, and get plenty of walks throughout the day. We work from home, and our dog wants a playmate! We will let the dogs out to the fenced backyard whenever they like, and always take numerous trips around the block to stretch the legs out. Given that we wake up early to run and start working from home, we prefer drop offs and pickups to be generally between 8:00am and 6:00pm. We have a fenced yard and Boston is a great playmate. Typically the dogs like to be underfoot for most of the day, which is fine as we are working away on our computers. I like to do at least one longer walk/run during the day, or a hike in the Oakland Hills in the afternoon.
