Working from home and have plenty of time to take care of your dog. Your dog will be treated like our own. Thank you for your interest.

You'll get adorable photo updates so you can see your pup living their best life. Your dog gets more than just a sitter — they get a second home.

Pet sitting add can include: one hour dog walk an off leash dog park adventure. Please ask about add on prices. Stand alone dog walking: At this time, I am happy to announce that I do adventure walks. An adventure walk is a hike either to Point Isabelle or to Oyster Bay in Hayward, depending on which is closer. These adventures happen with a long lead up to 12 feet long or off leash. Off-leash is only available for dogs with perfect recall for their non-primary owners. Depending on the condition of your dog, these adventures can last one to two hours. Transportation costs are included in my pricing. Your friend will have free access to roam indoors and outdoors, sit on couches, or lay in the sun all day. If your dog needs a little bit of quiet time, they can have a private room with an air conditioner on hot days. I provide a pet-friendly house designed just for dogs, offering a cozy and safe home-away-from-home experience. With plenty of space to relax, play, and enjoy one-on-one time, your dog will feel loved and cared for. Let me know if you’d like to include off-leash dog park visits for extra fun or if your pup needs medications administered—I happy to accommodate. I will give your dog the attention and affection they deserve while you’re away!

About: What sets me apart is my background caring for both children and pets. I’ve spent many years babysitting and working with families, which has taught me patience, responsibility, and how to stay calm and attentive. I bring that same level of care to animals by following routines closely, noticing changes in behavior, and making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I’m able to fit pet care into my routine consistently and responsibly. I’m used to managing schedules from caring for children and pets, so I make sure visits, feedings, and check-ins are planned and never rushed. I prioritize reliability and follow-through. Whether caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on safety, routine, and comfort. I follow feeding schedules, provide regular check-ins, spend quality time with pets, and make sure they feel calm and secure. My background caring for children has made me very attentive, patient, and reliable with responsibilities.

“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.”

“Ananda was amazing - she was really helpful coordinating dates/times, she stopped by early to meet my dog, and she was lovely about keeping me updated with everything! I think she’d be a great sitter or walker that I’d recommend to anyone”

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.

“Madeline was great with Oso! I know he appreciated her long thorough walks and she could handle his excitement every time she came over. We will definitely be booking her again!”

About: Hello dog lovers! I grew up with a yellow lab and have been an animal lover my entire life. I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I truly believe pets bring a special kind of love into a home and make it feel complete. I’d be honored to care for your dog while you’re away, so you can relax and enjoy your time knowing your beloved pet is safe, happy, and in loving hands. My schedule is currently open! I am flexible and willing to work with you to suit your pets needs. I am located in Fruitvale in Oakland. I have 3 adult cats and 1 foster kitten in my home currently. I have a fenced backyard and many parks nearby that are great for a dog stroll!

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: Take care of dogs part time for friends for many years. I have formed special bonds with them and love to see their excitement when they come over. No one throws a party for you when you get home like a dog. I love training puppies and taking them for walks and playing with them as well. I work/consult from home, occasionally need to leave for a couple hours to go to the gym or the store. I’m pretty active and like to go on daily walks. I’m willing to come over and take your dog out for a walk if they are comfortable with me doing so. If you’re able to bring the dogs to my home for an extended stay, I will provide a loving safe environment for them, with frequent potty breaks and one to two long walks per day. I’ll follow your instructions on what is best for your pet.

About: hi there! we are a young couple that grew up with lots of dogs and love having them around. we have been pet sitting since we moved to the bay area (we left our pets back home) and it has been a great way to make extra money and keep dogs around until we can have our own (we travel a lot, so we have not been able to adopt our very own just yet) we are used to host the pets we watch and love having them sharing our space. we are very responsible, very respectful and very caring. we have flexible schedules and are very active so we will make sure your dog gets his energy out. we have lots of references and will be happy to share it with you. my work schedule is from 9am-4pm and my husband has every other week off. During his week off he is free to walk/stop by/watch at our home anytime of the day. We both can be flexible. if I am not available, he probably is available as we have different schedules. we follow the client’s directions on how to take care of their pet. we do not disrespect client rules/directions as we would not like it to be done with us. we are mindful about poisoning food/plants to pets and rearrange what needs to be rearranged before pets' arrival.

“Huston is great! Caring, friendly and our Husky is always happy to see him. Highly recommend him.”
