Pet Sitting Harrington

“Intuitive, caring, and communicative pet sitter!”

About: Have you ever wanted your dog to have the comfort of a 5-Star vacation experience with the trust of an experienced pup-lover right in your community? I’ve set up my ADU to be your dog’s private BnB oasis! It’s a totally separate space (just like a BnB), therefore your pet would have no interaction with my dogs. Your dog’s climate-controlled space is equipped with everything needed to make them comfortable during their stay - beds, toys, blankets, and backyard. I work from home, so I’m able to spend plenty of time with them and do whatever is needed for them to have a comfortable home away from home❤️ A little about me: Hi! My name is Sydney and I’ve had dogs my whole life. I have experience caring for cats (including medication administration) and I have also fostered over 40 dogs in my home, so I have experience with all ages and breeds ❤️ As mentioned, your pet would have their own space separate from my dogs, but I do have two small rescue pups! I have one senior 12-pound girl named Mooncake and a 17-pound boy named Toast and they are the loves of my life!! I love pet-sitting! I’m very responsible, dependable, and can be flexible to meet your dog’s specific needs. Whether it’s dog-sitting, dog walking pr cat care, I would love to meet your pet and provide exercise and a fun, loving place to stay while you’re gone! Send me a message with a little more info about you and your bestie and we can set up a time to meet. Can’t wait to meet you! :) I work from home, so I can be somewhat flexible with timing for cat care, dogstting and dog walks! I prefer walking in the evening before it gets dark but let me know your ideal timing and we can work around it. For cat care and walking, I would want to know more about your specific pet but also how to enter the home safely to ensure your pet doesn’t escape as I come in.

“It was so lovely to have Haylee take care of my precious cat. She did a superb job, sent me the cutest updates, and even brought my packages inside. Would not hesitate to book again!”

“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.”

Natalie B.

“Angela was great. She came and did a meet-and-greet with my pet. My dog has some specific needs and Angela accommodated all of them. She is great with communication and is hasty with responses. Would definitely recommend.”

Jennifer & Joe M.

“Alyssa was so great with my two cats. She had excellent communication, reliable, and super friendly! I really appreciated her willingness to coordinate a meet and greet with my mother while I was away, and would highly highly recommend her for any one needing a cat sitter. My girls loved her!”

“Anais it’s always so great with my girls. They are always so chill (for them) when we come home. She is also respectful of our home and punctual. We will continue to book with Anais!!”

“Vania was so sweet with our 8 mo old puppies! We felt at ease during our travels. She took them on long walks and even gave them a bath since the days were quite warm. Thank you again Vania!”

“Presley and Freya loved having Melissa take care of them! I arrived home from my trip yesterday with two pretty relaxed kitties, and a slew of new photos to add to my collection 😁 She was a great communicator, and left everything just as she found it.”

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. I will closely follow the routines and instructions shared to ensure your pets care is up to you and your pets standards

“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.”

“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: Hi, I’m Lynn! 👋 Nice to meet you :) __________________________________ If your dog loves fresh air, exploring new paths, and coming home completely tuckered out, they’re going to love hanging out with me. Or we can just take a stroll around the neighborhood, play with lots of toys, and snuggle up on the couch!☀️ __________________________________ I'm a passionate, patient, and friendly dog lover who believes every pup deserves a fun-filled day! I love meeting new furry friends and I am experienced with dogs of all shapes and sizes. Being a dog mom myself, I treat every pup like absolute royalty - gentle pets, belly rubs, lots of happy praise + treats, and maybe a little photoshoot if we have the time!🌸🌺✨ __________________________________ Safety is ALWAYS my top priority. I’m incredibly mindful of terrain, weather, and hydration, ensuring a tiny Chihuahua gets the same careful attention and safe handling as an enthusiastic German Shepherd. From dealing with the zoomies to offering patient guidance, I treat every dog like family!! :) __________________________________ When your pup is with me, you can expect a reliable schedule, plenty of updates, and a very happy, sleepy dog returned to your doorstep. 🧡🧡💚💚 ___________________ Let’s get your best friend out on their next great adventure! 🐾 🌳 🌲 🥾 🐕 • Monday through Friday: I am available & flexible morning, afternoon, or evening. This is the perfect time for an energetic mid-day break, a long late-afternoon trail walk, or late-day doggy daycare while you finish up your workday. __________________ • Weekends (Saturday & Sunday): I have open availability (unless stated otherwise)! My weekends are wide open for extended adventures, daycare, or flexible walking schedules. 🐾 How I Care for Your Dog I provide safe, reliable, and loving care tailored to your dog’s needs.

“I’ve used Maia twice, both times as a last minute request and have appreciated her flexibility and professionalism. Would recommend her without hesitation!”

“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.”

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).

“Love having Sage come over to watch our cat Bonnie. Always provides great updates and I can tell the cat is super happy whenever they're checking up on her!”

Animals have always been my passion, and I treat every pet like my own—with patience, love, and attention.

I will always make sure to do all In my power to accommodate your needs and my schedule so we’re all happy! 🙂 I care for your pets as you would, accommodating to their needs as well as making sure they’re comfortable and happy and follow through with your step by step care instructions. 🥰

“Kristi is amazing... My four doggos absolutely adored her! She was willing to come to my home last minute for a meet and greet and drop in on the weekend to check on them. Kristi has a special way with animals and is very caring. I received live updates and photos during her visit which left me feeling relieved knowing they were in good hands. 10 stars. I highly recommend her for your pets needs:)”
