Pet Sitting Hawthorne

“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.”

Andrea J.

“Eleanna has been dropping in on my border collie Moxie weekly for about a month now and she has been amazing! She is very responsive to my last minute requests, great bios and pictures on Rover cards, always on time, and I can tell she is very caring. Moxie always looks so happy to see her, we will be using her again!”

Jessica & Esteban C.

“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.

“Cathy did a terrific job of taking care of all our cats while we were away. She was very attentive and made sure to send photos of them every day. We would most definitely use her again. Thanks much!”

“Rachel was great with our two cats. She followed all instructions perfectly. We loved getting our pet pics! Would absolutely recommend and rehire her in the future.”

“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!”

About: In 2012 my mother started a dog boarding business out of her own home. I was this businesses number #1 (and in a lot of ways only) Employee. We watched an average of 4 dogs a day not including the dogs me and my mother had that were our own and the fosters we were taking care of as well. We closed down the business in 2021 when we moved and now that I have my own place I'm looking to work with pets again (dogs and cats!). I can not board but I can still do walks and sitting. I'd love to meet and get to know your pets. I work weekends so I am not going to be available most Saturdays and Sundays before 6pm. On the flip side I am completely open on any weekday for walking or sitting. I can make any of those days work with your schedule. I won't be able to take care of your pet in my home but I can do whatever is needed of me if I were to take care of your pet in your home. Wether that's crating, specific feeding schedules or making food from provided ingredients, routines for outside and potty time. I want to make your pets experience as close as it I can do your ideal.

“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!”

Marie M.

“Sarah was excellent! So kind and caring. They really went above and beyond. They even took the time to earn the trust of my shy cats! Highly recommend :)”

“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: 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.

“Zoe is communicative, friendly, and got along great with our cat! We would recommend her services to anyone looking for a pet sitter (and have already rebooked her for next week ourselves!)”

Eric G.

“Maricruz kindly stepped in to cover a day caring for our cats while we were gone! She communicated openly, was careful to follow what I’d asked, and she got one of our shy cats to come out and say hi 🙂 Thank you Maricruz!”

Caroline S.

“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!”

Jeanette G.

“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.”

Alexandra P.

“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’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

“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!”
