Pet Sitting Glenview

“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!!”

“Melina is great with all of our pets! She kept us updated and sent photos of all four pets for each drop in. My dog loves her and even the shyest cat comes out to see her during her visits.”

“Elyse is so on top of things. She asked me questions and did a great job of what I’m asking for. I would like to have her back to take care my cat next time.”

“Cara was so caring, responsive, and also very responsible. I was initially worried about leaving my cat for two weeks but I left him in very good hands with Cara. I especially appreciated all the photos she sent and the little daily updates! My cat loved her. I was able to relax knowing that I had a very sweet and reliable sitter.”

About: Hi! I’m Madeline. I’m an urban planner based in Seattle and am currently living in the East Bay while my partner works in the area. I’d love to provide dependable, thoughtful care for your pets while you’re away! I’ve been a cat owner for eight years and grew up caring for cats, dogs, guinea pigs, and even a 40-year-old parrot! For just as long, I’ve been trusted by friends, neighbors, and loved ones to care for their cats and dogs. I understand how important it is to know your pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for when you can’t be there yourself. I’d love to meet you and your furry family members! Thank you for considering me for your pet care needs. I have a flexible work schedule while I’m in the East Bay, so I can provide plenty of attention and accommodate your pet’s routine. I’m happy to work around feeding times, walks, medications, and other specific care needs to help keep your pet comfortable and on their normal schedule. I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for every pet in my care. I’m attentive to their routines, boundaries, and individual needs, and I treat every home with the same respect I would my own.

About: I am a genuine animal lover - especially dogs - and I will care for your pets as if they were my own precious beings. I am very responsible and will be a reliable source of company and support for your pet while you're unavailable. I have been around dogs and cats throughout my childhood and adulthood and I truly enjoy spending time with them - exercising, playing, affection, tummy rubs - these are some of the many ways to keep your pet engaged and happy. I also understand the important need for BOTH unconditional love and boundaries - I can use basic behavioral techniques to help train your dog. I look forward to meeting you and your sweet pet and to being a helpful presence in both of your lives. When I'm home and open for pet-sitting, I don't have any other commitments, other than to take care of your pet. I'll rarely leave them for more than a couple of hours at a time. I don't care for pets in my own home - I only do pet sitting (and house sitting) in someone else's home space - which I think is great for the pet!

About: Peace of mind, clear communication, and absolute reliability for your pets. As a lifelong animal lover with over 40 years of pet care experience, I offer mature, accountable, and dependable care focused on neighborhood dog walks and drop-in visits throughout Oakland. My background in structured animal handling began decades ago in Norway, where I trained my first working dog alongside handlers from the Air Force Dog School long before positive reinforcement became the industry standard. Whether your dog needs a calming mid-day outdoor break or your pets need attentive drop-in feeding, my priority is keeping them happy, safe, and comfortable in their familiar environment. What sets my care apart: • Mature & Accountable: Punctual, highly responsible, and strictly respectful of your home, privacy, and care routines. Perfect for professionals wanting flawless communication. • Calming, Specialized Approach: Patient, positive reinforcement handling specifically tailored to adult dogs, shy pets, or gentle seniors who thrive on a steady, reassuring routine. • Advanced Pet Care: Fully experienced in administering oral medications and managing complex senior care schedules. • Local Oakland Focus: Dedicated entirely to Ivy Hill, Lake Merritt, Grand Lake, and immediate surrounding neighborhoods. (Please note: For walks and drop-in visits, I focus primarily on adult and senior pets to ensure the highest quality of focused, low-stress care. I look forward to meeting you and your pet for a free initial Meet & Greet!) As an independent professional, my schedule offers generous flexibility for pet care throughout the day and evening. I am readily available for morning, mid-day, afternoon, and evening neighborhood walks, as well as flexible drop-in visits for feeding, walks, and evening companionship. My open schedule allows me to dedicate my full, focused attention to your pet’s routine without feeling rushed. Safety and trust are my absolute highest priorities when caring for your pets and respecting your home. During neighborhood walks, I use secure leashes, maintain active situational awareness, and keep a calm, positive demeanor tailored to your dog’s comfort. For in-home drop-in visits, I follow your exact feeding, care, and home security instructions to ensure your pets feel completely safe and secure in their familiar environment.

About: I am experienced in providing gentle, including walks to the parks and beaches, while maintaining a calm and comfortable environment inside home and outside home. My job requires me a peculiar freedom to have a flexible schedule. I am morning person and love going in evening strolls regardless of sorting setting. In my home, I create a fun and safe space for pets, with cozy spots to relax, play, and eat. They get fresh water, regular walks, and all the love and attention they could ask for! I stick to their routine to keep them happy and stress-free. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I make sure they feel right at home, following their usual routine. From daily walks and playtime to feeding and cuddles, I keep everything tidy and comfy. I want them to feel relaxed and loved while their owner’s away!

“We would definitely book Qishu again! She was great-quick to respond to messages, sent lots of pictures, and made us feel at ease about being away from Sabina for a couple of days.”

About: I’m a caring, patient, and responsible pet sitter. I have a 2 and a half year old dog, so I understand the importance of keeping pets safe, happy, active, and comfortable. I’m attentive to each pet’s routine and personality, and I’ll treat your pet with the same love and care I give my own. I enjoy walks, playtime, and giving pets plenty of attention and affection. I have a flexible routine that allows me to make time for pet care during the week.

“Ryan was incredibly sweet for my two cats. He thoughtfully sent the cutest photos of my two kitties doing their every day favorite activities over the time that I was away which I found very reassuring. Both of my cats are huge snugglers, and Ryan sent pics showing how they cuddled right up to him during his visits. He managed giving medication to one of my fur fam 2x daily, and kept everything really organized. While it can be so difficult to leave loved ones when traveling, Ryan was great and made it much easier knowing they were in excellent care.”

About: I love dogs so much and I know that may sound generic but dogs are so pure and lovable. My love of dogs started with a dog sitting gig that sparked this love and lead me to be a pup parent to Colonel Peanut who passed in 2020. He was a three legged trip that was my ride pr die for 8 years. Since his passing I have leaned into dog walking and dog sitting for others while the grief moves in waves. Point Isabel is one of my favorite places if your pup is an off leasher! Otherwise I love neighborhood walks where we can explore and smell and admire the flowers and discover birds of your area. I have experience with basic training, administering meds, and observing your pup to see what they are telling me they need. I work from home and can be somewhat of a house cat myself if I'm not out for walks with pepperonis. I have a very flexible schedule to fit your pet's needs. I can accommodate last minute booking so please don’t hesitate to reach out. I know what it’s like to be a pet parent so I will treat your pet and home as my own. I will make sure to check all the boxes like refilling water, feedings, sharing snacks and giving medications, or cleaning/refreshing the litter box for kitties.

About: Erik and I love animals in general but we absolutely love our Dogs and cats! We consistently care for my family Dog named Mookie! Who spends her full time with my Dads family but we care for her as well. We love taking her on adventurous walks,frequent potty breaks whilst sticking to her feeding schedule, and supplement / medication routines. She also loves to join us for car rides as well! Weekly scheduling is possible! We’d love to have consistent clients and build dependable wholesome connections. As our schedule opens up, we will update our availability as well! Whether in our own space or in a clients home we ensure that the pets are getting their needs met by sticking to their routines, offering them comfort through snuggles and play! Or giving them space if they are shy or like to be in their own areas but we continue to keep and eye on them. As far as walks, we ensure that they stay safe on the roads, pay attention to how they are around other animals and also allowing them to take their time.

“Zsa Zsa took great care of my kitty Kiwi! She made time to do a meet and greet and got all the details of everything that needed to be done for kiwi while I was away. She sent thorough updates and lots of photos which I really appreciate! She is very nice, personable and reliable”

About: I have experience caring for furry dog friends. I'm comfortable with walking, feeding, giving medication, and providing attention and playtime. Whether your dog is energetic or laid-back, I make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. Hi, my name is G'la! I'm excited to meet new pets and provide them with loving, reliable care. I work a hybrid schedule, which gives me the flexibility to offer consistent attention and companionship throughout the day. Whether it’s a midday walk, playtime, or just keeping a furry friend company, I truly enjoy making pets a natural and joyful part of my daily routine. I adjust my care based on each pet’s routine and personality. In a client’s home, I follow their instructions closely to keep pets comfortable in their familiar space—feeding, walks, playtime, litter box or yard clean-up, medication, and plenty of companionship. I also make sure the home stays clean, safe, and secure. If I’m caring for pets in my own home, I create a calm, pet-friendly environment with plenty of space, enrichment, and supervision. I keep to their feeding and exercise schedule and give them lots of affection and attention to help them feel at ease while they're away from home.

“This was the first time Sydney dropped in on my cat Mystery for me. From the start in it was a great experience. Sydney has great energy, good communication and showed genuine care for my cat Mystery. I recieved a detailed update with pictures. I will definitely be booking her again!”
