“My 3 pups loved Laura instantly! She’s a great communicator and punctual. 2 of my dogs are young and can be a lot to manage and I totally trust Laura to manage them”

“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!”

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.

About: For three years, I’ve been the trusted choice for friends and family because I treat every pet with the same love and care as if they were my own. I specialize in maintaining your pet's happiness and routine directly in their home, providing reliable walks and attentive companionship I’m currently working a part-time so I will have plenty of time to play with your pups! I’m available weekend afternoons and weekdays after 3pm I focus on maintaining your pet’s safety and comfort by strictly following their established routine within the security of their own home. Whether providing active walks or dedicated companionship during overnight stays, I ensure a trustworthy environment through attentive care and clear communication.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all shapes and sizes since I was 10 years old, and as a dog mom myself, I know that your pet isn't 'just' a pet, they’re family. I specialize in attentive walks and drop-in visits for both dogs and cats. My goal is to make sure every parent feels completely happy and comfortable while they’re away or at work. Because my own dog is my baby, I treat every 'furbaby' in my care like royalty. I am also available for overnight stays in my home! I live in a cozy one-bedroom with my own private, fenced-in backyard, which is perfect for safe outdoor playtime. To ensure a calm and personalized environment for my own dog and yours, I specialize in hosting small-to-medium sized breeds. Whether it's a walk, a visit, or a sleepover, I prioritize keeping you in the loop with frequent updates and photos so you never have to wonder how they’re doing. I treat every pet with the same love and devotion I give my own! I am fully available for dedicated care on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. I also have flexible availability on Saturdays for walks, visits, or boarding. Because I work a set schedule on other days, your pet gets my undivided attention during my mid-week "on-duty" days. I am committed to maintaining your pet's routine and making sure they feel loved and active while you are busy. I provide a calm, boutique environment in my cozy in-law unit, which is located in a pet-friendly building and features my own private, fenced-in backyard for safe potty breaks and outdoor play. Your pet’s safety is my absolute priority; for overnight guests, I use a secure playpen setup when I am briefly away to ensure everyone has their own comfortable, supervised space. My resident dog is a small French Bulldog who is very timid and antisocial, he prefers to keep his distance and is never aggressive, making him a perfect, low-pressure "roommate" for pets who also enjoy their personal space. Whether we are hanging out in the yard or going for a neighborhood walk, I treat your furbaby with the same high standards of safety and love that I give my own "baby" every single day. I love making sure parents feel completely at ease, so I prioritize keeping you in the loop with frequent updates and photos so you never have to wonder how they’re doing!

About: While you're away, your pup gets to play! I offer in-home dog sitting with a large, secure backyard, daily adventures, and plenty of love and attention. 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. My base overnight pet sitting experience includes: room service with up to 3 meals per day, administration of up 5 oral medications, 24 hour indoor / outdoor access, daily enrichment - this can be a splash pool or peanut butter kong. 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!

“Anais was a great pet sitter who followed all instructions with no issues and kept our playful orange cat busy daily for a week with 30 minutes of play & pets. He looked so happy in all of the visit photos, so we definitely hope to book Anais again in the future for other drop ins 😻🙏🙌”

About: I have had my own sweet pup for over 14 years. 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. Recently relocated to the Bay Area & while looking for my next full time opportunity decided to lean into some of my passions. Dogs being #1! If I can do that through this app while bringing in a little cash on the side, what could be better? Currently available full time. I’m very active so love taking walks. (My senior dog has slowed down so I’m missing a walking buddy.) I do have a small fenced backyard with grass. Our house is very dog friendly.

About: I have taken care of both dogs and cats my whole life I have dealt with all ages of pets, health issues and reactivity. I’m very calm and reliable when it comes to dealing with different personalities of pets. I am currently in search of work after graduating college in San Francisco with my undergraduate degree. I would love to pet sit and walk dogs before settling into a full-time career. I have a very flexible schedule. I currently have two dogs in my home one dachshund and one German Shepherd, who are my pride and joy. I walk them, feed them and groom them and they both love to snuggle. I cannot offer pet sitting at my own home but every pet I have watched over I treat like my own.

“Thanks Cathy. Just got back as our flight was delayed. Everything looks great. Thanks for taking care of Ivan, and, unbeknownst to you, apparently an opossum that’s been hanging out here.”

“Pat watched our cat twice and during our first meet & greet we could tell he would be thoughtful when watching a pet. He spent plenty of time with our cat making sure he had a companion while we were away. He also made a great artistic sketch of him too!”

About: Growing up surrounded by pets of all sizes and species, I've developed a deep understanding of each animal's unique needs. My lifelong love for animals stems from knowing they're truly family members who give us their whole hearts. I'm experienced in administering medications (pills, liquids, and injections) and have experience and am comfortable providing specialized care for pets in recovery. Whether your furry, feathered, or scaled family member needs basic care/companionship, medical attention, or just a walk to get some exercise, I'm here to give them the same love and attention they'd receive from you. Let me give you complete peace of mind while you're away—your pets will be in caring, capable hands! Whether you need someone to stop by or look after your house, I am available 7 days a week. Please provide at least 1 day notice to confirm availability. Since I rent my home I am only able to come to you! I currently reside in Oakland, so I am open and available to any needs within the area.

“Madeline is great with our high-energy teenage puppy! She is very adaptable and goes above and beyond to keep up our girl’s training progress. Very consistent and communicative.”
