“Zachary kept me up-to-date with photos and check-ins of his visits with Zeus. Knowing when Zachary was with Zeus and seeing pictures of my boy playing, cuddling, and eating was comforting and reassuring. Thank you, Zachary, for taking good care of Zeus!”

About: I’m available for home visits with dogs and cats, dog walking, and occasional house sitting. I have two wonderful dogs and grew up with cats—I truly adore animals and love spending time with them! I can take your pets for walks or jogs, change litter, feed them, and give them plenty of care and attention. I’m reliable, friendly, communicative, and very responsive. As a Berkeley Law student, I have a relatively flexible schedule that allows me to watch pets on both weekdays and weekends, in the mornings, afternoons, or evenings. I provide attentive, loving care—feeding, walking or running with dogs, changing kitty litter or picking up after dogs, and ensuring pets feel safe, comfortable, and happy in their familiar environment.
About: I’m a recently retired school teacher with a passion for animals and much love to give. After years of nurturing students, I’m now enjoying the best kind of “retirement” by spending my days walking dogs, playing with pups, and caring for pets. I have so many fond memories of the various dogs and cats I cared for as a kid and parent. Starting in August, 2025 I am available M-F mornings and late afternoons to care for your pet. I can be flexible at other times as well. I closely follow the owners' instructions on their property. Also, I live in a peaceful neighborhood, in a single family home with a large yard. Since the homes are part of a subdivision, there is minimal traffic.
“Danielle did a great job caring for our 20 year old cat, she was able to give him his oral medicine twice a day with no problems, she gave him a lot of attention and love , she was also kind enough to feed my outdoor birds and bring in our mail. We highly recommend her and we will use her again in future trips away from our fur baby.”
“Marrissa dropped in on my cat while I was away and took great care of him. She followed all instructions, was prompt, and had great communication. Would definitely rebook. Thanks!”
“Stef was great! My dogs instantly loved her. She asked all the right questions to put my mind at ease, and was fabulous about helping keep them on track with things we are trying to teach then such as not jumping and waiting until they get permission to go outside. It was so nice not having to be worried about my pups during the day when I couldn’t be with them. I know they will be looking forward to her next visits as much as I will be!”
