Pet Sitting & Drop Ins in Hegenberger, Oakland

“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: Hi! My name is Jasmin, I am 22 years old and live in Oakland, Ca. I have experience with dogs as I own one myself and most of my family own dogs themselves. I have experience with puppies, adults, small, and medium sized dogs. I’ve always had patience and sympathy for animals as they are also living creatures with emotions. From pugs to pitbulls I care for dogs as if they were all mine! I am currently looking for a side job and found this site which I think would be a perfect side hustle as I love dogs and have enough free time ! I also have my own car so mobility won’t be an issue. I live in a house with a backyard that has plenty of room and toys!! It is wooden fenced up so there’s no running away from this home ! All dogs are received with love as I understand how cruel the outside world can be to our fur babies.

“Tiana was wonderful, fulfilling a last minute request. She was communicative and flexible, and gave my at-first shy pup space to warm up. Very appreciative of her help!”

“Our dogs can be nervous around new people and seeing how happy and relaxed they were when Maia came by for drop-in visits was such a joy! Getting photo updates and communication from Maia put our minds at ease, we are grateful to know they are in good hands with her and will be booking again.”

“Megan takes amazing care of our girl. The pictures and updates she sends are just such a comfort when we’re away from home. One picture from this most recent trip with our dog’s huge, full-teeth smile had us laughing out loud but also just made us so happy that she was that happy while her family was away. We feel so incredibly lucky to have Megan as our dog sitter. Thank you, Megan!!”

“Zara was great for our last minute 30-minute drop in visit. She was very responsive and took our dog on a nice walk in the neighborhood. She shared a lot of pictures so we knew he was well taken care of. We will definitely use Zara again!”

About: I’ve loved animals my entire life! I’ve always had a pet and they’ve ranged from chickens to spiders. I started pet sitting when I was 16 and am currently working at a dog daycare/boarding place and am a dog handler that will love and care for your pups no matter age or size! :))<3 Apart from being a student (on break) I’m also working part-time at a dog daycare on the weekends so during the week I’m usually free! When pups are in my care it’s my priority to help them feel safe and comfortable at home no matter how tedious or time consuming it will be!<33

“Emma, is really one of the best pet sitters we’ve ever had. She is really professional and most importantly caring and loving towards our dogs. She is really in her element with animals as she is proactive about giving them plenty of attention and walks. We are so happy to consider her our primary go-to dog care taker. We’ve actually gone so far as to have her fly all the way out to our home in Hawaii… she’s that good!”

“Sulynn did an amazing job checking in on my dog Daisy! She asked great questions to ensure that she became familiar with Daisy’s routine and Daisy seemed to warm up to her from the start. She was also very communicative and sent pictures which I greatly appreciated.”

“Chad has all the perfect traits of a dog sitter. He loves every dog, no matter its size or temperament. He is kind, patient, and responsible. I have known his own dogs over the past quarter century, and they have all been very happy, long-lived companions. I would not hesitate to leave my beloved companions on Chad's care.”

“Lindsey is amazing. She’s consistent, she’s communicative, she’s flexible, and our puppy loves her! I highly recommend her and will absolutely use her again.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was 10 and currently a turtle for the past 5 years. I have experience with from giving medicine to giving the best good boy/girl heard rubs around. I have a full time job, but have a flexible schedule. I can do mostly 30min visits or longer on weekends. But am willing to coordinate on as needed basis. I can do mainly drop in visits as I have 2 cats and a turtle currently at my place. So home stay will not work.

About: Our pets are family. My approach is a balance of attention and simple structure that makes for happy socialization. My partner and I have always had cats and dogs and I have experience with everything from puppyhood to the special healthcare challenges of senior pets (including administration of oral meds and injected insulin) I used to walk dogs back in college as a part-time job. Now, I am excited to make some new 4-legged friends and get out for some exercise together. I work from home part-time and with a very flexible schedule. I do long walks in the morning and afternoon and, if staying with us, in addition to walks, your doggie will have full access to the yard during the day to sunbathe and play. If house sitting at yours, I will be on hand with your pet at a minimum in the morning, for a few hours mid-day, and then all evening and night. We have a large fenced yard and two small, friendly pups (9lb young female yorkie and 12lb female coton de tulear) to play with. "The girls" are not crated at night, but I am happy to set up your pup's normal sleeping area if staying with us. For dog walking, I do 30-45 minute adventures with priority given to clients located in Oakland's Laurel, Dimond, Maxwell Park, and Redwood Heights neighborhoods. Ideally, your dog loves walking with some friends, but we can customize for personal pup needs.

“Diana would be a great at any service she provides on Rover she has a bubbly high energy personality who goes beyond the call of duty in everything she does. Her love for animals is whole hearted and sincere. She is always coming over to see Rocco my baby boy malteese. She made me very knowledgeable in the care when I brought him home by buy him a coat for winter and making sure I know about his sensitive skin cleaning his eyes. I highly recommend and know she will go far at Rover. Sincerely Deja”

“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:)”

“We had Nia drop by twice a day to help take out our 17 yr old dachshund for potty breaks. She was always on time, very professional, and extremely communicative. She also sent lots of photos to let us know how things were going. We will be looking to have Nia do drop-in visits in the future and overnight stays.”

“Alyssa was great with our pups and put my mind at ease while we were away! Thank you!!”

“Laura is a loving and attentive pet owner of both a cat and dog. She has many years experience caring for the pets of family, friends, and neighbors, as the need arises. I have no doubt she would be an excellent choice to care for your pet.”

“Briana helped me out with a short notice request to take out my dog. She was quick to respond and did a great job. Would love to use her again.”

“Laura has been an amazing caregiver for my dog, Reese, time and time again. I’ve hired her multiple times during holidays and work trips, and she always exceeds my expectations. Reese feels comfortable, happy, and completely trusts her. I’m usually nervous about leaving my dog with strangers or at dog hotels, but Laura provides the perfect solution by staying at my home so Reese can remain in his own familiar space. It’s never easy to be away from my dog for an extended period, but knowing Laura’s dedication and love for dogs gives me peace of mind. I highly recommend her!”
