About: I had my own very cherished Mini Pinscher Leah that passed away a few years ago. Since then, I’ve really missed the companionship of pets but am not yet ready for a commitment after that grief. I cat sit for my sister regularly, and am looking to be of help to any families/pet owners in my local community whose pets I can treat with care and respect. I am available to walk any dogs after work ends at 6 PM and am happy to have any pets board with me on the weekends! I have a fenced yard and no pets or babies in my home, just myself and two adult roommates. I’m ready to customize my house to be safe and suited for any pet that will be boarding here, and can walk dogs in my neighborhood at any time.

“Marlene just did the first drop in visit for our two dogs. She was very communicative, punctual, and made sure to secure the house when she left. Plus it was a very rainy day, and she got the dogs all cleaned up when they came in from the yard. Glad we found a reliable person.”


“Kacie did a great job with drop in visits for our two cats while we were out of town. She provided updates and pictures each day and it was nice knowing the cats were in good hands. I highly recommend booking with her!”


About: Hi, Meghan here, I have always been a dog-lover, and currently have a lovable fluffy husky. I live in Oakland with my mom, a fellow dog-lover! I allow our furry friends on the couch, but can also work on furniture-boundaries if your pooch isn't allowed on furniture at your own home. I work from home, so I'll be home most of the day during the weekdays. The longest your pup will be home alone (with my pups) is around 5 hours. I am comfortable with big dogs. I can give medications, and can brush your pooch as well! Here's a little about us: Meghan has been a dog-lover since birth. She grew up with dogs of all shapes and sizes. Treesa loves pups of all sizes! Meet my pets: Just the dogs! About my yard We have a fenced backyard. My experience administering medication We are comfortable administering oral medication. **We do have a Potty Clause. We understand accidents happen, and are very forgiving, as pups are often excited and can't help themselves at first. However, we have occasionally had extreme repeat offenders. We take dogs on the basis that they are potty trained. If we feel there are an excessive number of indoor incidents, we will let you know, and ask for a $10 additional fee (per week, or fraction thereof), to cover the cost of laundry and cleaning supplies.** Thanks! I work from home so your pup will hang out with me and Winston at home, join us on walks, and get to spend the day with us! I have a fenced yard. Security gate at my back door means fresh air without escape opportunity. We're working on installing a dog door, so that should happen later this year!

About: “I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for over 3 years, from playful puppies to senior pets who need extra attention. Friends, neighbors, and family often trust me to walk, feed, bathe, and provide loving companionship to their pets. I’m patient, reliable, and treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while their owners are away.” “I work full-time at Tesla, so my pet care availability is from Wednesday afternoons through Saturday mornings. During that time, I’m fully flexible for walks, drop-ins, playtime, and overnight care. I make sure your pets get the same dependable care and attention that I give to my own responsibilities at work.” “Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. I make sure walks are secure, using leashes and harnesses properly and avoiding unsafe areas. At home, I keep a clean and pet-friendly environment where they can feel relaxed and cared for. I treat every pet with patience and respect, building trust so they feel safe and happy while you’re away. You can count on me to keep you updated with photos and messages, so you’ll always know your furry friend is in good hands.”

“Nayeli was a life saver! We had to find a Rover during our Spring Break cancellation and Nayeli rose to the occasion. She was very communicative, thorough and loving with our fur babies. When a hiccup with our travels came up, Nayeli was more than willing to stop by again after the job was completed. I really appreciated her notes and photos. I would love to hire Nayeli again!”


“Very communicative and friendly. Dropped by to do a walk through before taking on a week of caring for Izzy. Sent photos and texts to keep me updated. Wonderful!”


“Darren has been walking our border collie daily for the last week while our primary walker is away. We're so grateful for his timely, concise communication and the peace of mind that not only is our pup safe, but is getting the mental and physical stimulations he needs.”


About: I’m a pet sitter who will put your loved one first. As a dod owner myself I know how nerve racking it is leaving your dog in the hands of someone new. You can rest assured knowing that you have a true animal lover on your hands and I would never do anything to harm or make your dog/cat feel uncomfortable. My dog requires a lot of special treatment for her anxiety and allergies so I’m very comfortable with special needs and routines. I’ve had plenty of experience watching the pets of my coworkers, family and friends. I also live a very for lifestyle so getting your dog out and about with me my pleasure! Do matter the size of the dog or the temperament of your cat they will only receive unconditional love from me :)

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

“Nicole made it through four wonderful days of D0gen care before she was sadly felled by strep throat and had to terminate her care. I had made back-up arrangements which she handled with great responsibility so that Dogen suffered almost no trauma as her sudden departure! He's now happy and so am I, and just hoping Nicolde gets well soon!”

Meghan M.

“My dog fell in love with Meghan at first sight, even though she's usually slow to warm up to new people. Pepper, my miniature dachshund, is always excited to see Meghan, whether for a walk or an overnight. When I pick her up Pepper is happy and tired. We call Meghan's house a doggie resort as a joke, because it's filled with toys and treats. Pepper's happy and I am, because I know my dog is cared for and loved (not to mention spoiled) when I can't be there. We both trust Meghan and would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a dog person to love and care for their pup when they need help.”

“She’s great with my puppy. I really only trust her to watch my little baby??. My dog loves her and she doesn’t like too many people so that says a lot. She’ll spoil your pet with love and cuddles and makes sure they are fed, walked, and used the bathroom. Dior (my dog) loves playtime with her auntie Tamar. I highly recommend her as a caregiver!”
