“Great job, our pets and their space was well take care of! Before we left, Megan & Jenny R were collaborating with us on how to provide the best care, and stayed in touch during their visits.”

About: I have been walking dogs and sitting for cats and dogs for over 10 years. Mostly for family friends and neighbors. I love dogs and have lived with a big husky for also over 10 years. I grew up with cats aswell. I have experience walking big dogs that pull and i have even been able to train some dogs. I now live in a house with a big fenced backyard so i would love to host dogs. I work from home aswell so i am always around to take care of them. i work full time from home as an artist. I go on walks everyday and i am always able to give your pet attention! I have a car aswell so transportation is easy. I spend a lot of time in my backyard and would love to play with more animals. It is completely fenced in. I have a fenced yard with lots of space to run. Im already very active and love to go on walks and hikes. I work at home so everyday i am here except for grocery shopping and errands!

“Lucy was absolutely wonderful! She was communicative throughout the entire booking—quick to respond and always kept us updated with the cutest photos. She followed all instructions carefully, and my cat HaoHao was happy and well cared for. We felt at ease knowing Lucy was looking after her. Will definitely be booking again!”

“Laura is a lifesaver. She got along with our dog quickly (not easy!) and took care of all his needs on ournin-office days. Would highly recommend!”

About: I had my own sweet pup for over 15 years. Unfortunately we lost her this past year. Now I have a new pup who is a ball of energy! I assisted heavily during some of the major fires in northern California over the years, working with several professional animal rescue teams. Love dogs of all shapes and sizes just out here hoping to help as many pups as possible. Relocated to Alameda in 2025. I work remote so I have some availability through the week, the weekends I’m available, I have plenty of space available for furry friends. My pup has lots of energy and would love a playmate. Currently available part time. I’m very active so I love taking walks. I do have a small fenced backyard with grass. Our house is very dog friendly.

About: I’ve been around dogs since i was a little girl, i have two senior pets of my own, 15 and 12 years old! a chihuahua and a yorkie mix, and one who is up in heaven. with my senior babies i have learned when to be delicate and when they want to play, I taught my senior chihuahua how to sit and give a paw (even though he’s got a couple screws loose) its not much at all, but its a big achievement for him! with your doggies i would love to learn everything, from favorite treats to favorite routes to walk in! i will adjust my schedule to you and your pets needs! i try my best to be extremely flexible as i know that life just happens sometimes. In regards to caring for your babies, their safety and comfort is my first priority, i would like for them to be comfortable with me instead of your pets being scared, for senior dog care i understand completely the hassle of being careful and the accidents that come along (im an excellent cleaner thanks to my senior dogs) with cats and younger dogs i find i adapt quickly with new environments with the help of you and instructions, i will most likely ask a bunch of questions and it will be only in regards of your pets, everything goes the same with cats! if you would like a drop in i’d be happy to negotiate a time and place! i forward to meeting you and your fur babies!

“Dane did a great job watching my kitties while I was away. He communicated clearly, asked all the right questions, and took some stunning photos of my cats to keep my mind at ease (seriously he should be an animal photographer). Highly recommend!”

“Cathy was extremely kind and communicative with us as we were away. Our cat Tyrone loved his check-ins and I highly recommended Cathy for anyone in the area!”

About: I have four cats of my own, so I’m very familiar with feline behavior and attentive to their needs. I’ll make sure your fur baby gets the space, comfort, and companionship they need to feel safe and secure while you’re away. I work as a banker during the day, so your cats will be at my home while I’m at work. My availability for drop off and pick up is a bit limited; I'm usually free on weekdays after 6 PM, Saturdays after 2 PM, and all day Sunday. I may be available at other times as well, so don’t hesitate to reach out and ask! 😊 Depending on your cat’s needs, they can either have a private space in my bedroom, separate from my other cats, or they’re welcome to explore the house freely. I typically spend the first hour or so with your cat in the bathroom to help them get comfortable with me. Introductions to my cats are done slowly and under supervision over the first few days, based on each cat’s personality, needs, and comfort level. The safety of all cats is my top priority.

“Melissa is a wonderful sitter! I could tell Poppy was happy when I got home. Melissa was communicative, careful, pleasant, and took lovely pictures. I would invite her to sit again any time!!”

“Amazing as always! My pet is happy & Diana followed the instructions perfectly. She even went above and beyond by removing some garbage outside. No complaints!”

Caleb M.

“Melina was super awesome taking care of our little puppy! I appreciated her taking notes and asking us how we wanted her to take care of Mochi, our dog. Thank you, Melina! We would definitely ask her to come back and watch our dog!”

About: I bring patience, consistency, and real love for animals to every walk or visit. I grew up around dogs and have experience caring for both high-energy puppies and senior dogs who need a slower, gentler touch. I’m mainly an actor and does filming so I have a lot of free time to walk and take care of animals. Getting my daily steps in with pets is something I love to do I treat pets and homes with the same care and respect I’d want for my own. Every animal is different, so I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and needs — from feeding schedules and potty breaks to their favorite toys and walk routes. In a client’s home, I make sure to follow instructions closely, keep the space clean, and respect the home like a guest should. I communicate often when needed and if something is happening

“Vania was awesome!!! I needed someone last minute and she came through. She was great with my two pitbulls and treated them like queens. She was always on time and very communicative with pictures. I strongly recommend and will be using her in the future.”

“Sage was amazing with our boys! They sent pictures of them playing and made sure they were happy ?. I will be definitely recommending Sage to my friend group!”

About: i’ve been a dog mom for 20+ years and have basically had dogs my whole life. i trained my own dog from puppyhood and i’ve helped friends (and other pet parents) with basic training and routine stuff too. i’ve taken multiple training classes, so i’m comfortable with things like leash manners, boundaries, and reinforcing good behavior in a calm, consistent way. i’m naturally really good with dogs and i’m great at reading their body language, even the ones that are anxious, reactive, or “don’t usually like people.” i’m patient, confident, and i keep things low-stress so pups feel safe and listened to. i work from home, so i’ve got plenty of time to give your pup real attention throughout the day (not just quick check-ins). i’m happy to do multiple walks a day, and since i’m near downtown oakland, we’ve got plenty of great walk routes, lake merritt, nearby parks, and lots of good “sniffari” streets. in my home, your pup gets a safe, relaxed setup with lots of attention. i have a fenced patio so they can hang in the sun and get fresh air, and inside they’ll have plenty of room to stretch out, lounge, and roam comfortably. we’ve also got nearby open spaces, fields, and trails for walks and play. depending on your dog and what you’re comfortable with, i can do off-leash play (only where it’s safe/appropriate) or keep everything leashed, solo adventures or playtime with my dogs if your pup enjoys company. i’m big on following your routine and keeping things consistent: feeding schedules, meds, crate time, training cues, slow introductions, whatever your dog needs. i’m totally comfortable with seniors, shy/anxious pups, and dogs with special instructions. and if your dog would do best with more backyard time, i can also utilize my girlfriend’s place nearby with a fully fenced backyard for extra outdoor play/sniff time (with your permission).

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 2 adult cats in my home currently. I have a fenced backyard and many parks nearby that are great for a dog stroll!

“Iris asked great questions about caring for Cleo and took her on a practice walk to get ready for when I’m out of town.”
