Angelique is amazing! She was incredibly patient, kind, and willing to work with us through all of our crazy needs and our dog’s behavioral concerns. She is sweet, honest, and timely. We will absolutely use her again and again and highly recommend her to anyone needing care for their pets.

Megan did such an amazing job taking care of our pup for us. It is obvious that she LOVES dogs, and our dog LOVED her. She sent us lots of pictures and videos and went completely above and beyond what was expected. We are so grateful and will definitely ask Megan to take care of our pup again, especially since I’m pretty sure our dog misses her already. Thank you so much, Megan!

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.

About: Hi there! I’m a total people person with a heart that easily extends to pups of all sizes! I’ve been working as an Autism Specialist since I was 19, so patience, intuition, and building strong, trusting connections are truly my superpowers. I like to say I have that special energy humans and dogs both adore! For the past 7 years, I’ve been dog sitting for families in and around my neighborhood, as well as my parents’ neighborhood, caring for their fur babies like they’re my own. I understand how important it is for your dog to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I live in a spacious 2bedroom apartment with a spare room that gives pups plenty of indoor space to play and relax. Our complex also has lots of grassy areas perfect for fresh air, potty breaks, and nice walks. Whether your dog loves a structured routine, playtime, or cozy cuddle sessions, I’m happy to meet their needs! I’m reliable, communicative, and naturally attentive. and I genuinely get excited to host and care for pups in my home. Your dog’s happiness and well being will always be my priority. I can’t wait to meet your fur baby! 🐶✨ I work from home on Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays, so your pup will have lots of supervision and attention on those days! I’m also available most weekends if you’re planning a little getaway and need reliable care! I care for every dog like they’re my own, keeping them on their normal routine as much as possible. I provide plenty of supervised playtime, structured walks, potty breaks, and cozy rest time in a safe, calm environment. I pay close attention to each dog’s personality and needs, whether they’re energetic and playful or prefer quiet cuddles and relaxation.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have always been passionate about animal care. During my undergraduate studies I was on the pre-veterinary track and volunteered with local animal shelters and veterinary clinics to gain hands-on experience working with dogs of different breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I’m comfortable with energetic puppies, shy dogs, and dogs that need a little extra patience. I’m attentive, reliable, and happy to provide updates and photos so you know your dog is safe and happy. I currently offer dog walking and drop-in visits and specialize in dog care. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, so pet visits fit naturally into my routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable walks and drop-ins during the week, especially during the daytime hours when many dogs need a break and some attention. Safety and trust are very important to me when caring for someone else’s pet. Having grown up with dogs and volunteered in animal shelters and veterinary clinics while on the pre-vet track, I’m comfortable working with dogs of different sizes, breeds, and temperaments. During visits I pay close attention to a dog’s behavior, environment, and any specific instructions from the owner. I make sure dogs are securely leashed on walks, gates and doors are properly closed, and pets are supervised throughout the visit. I’m happy to follow feeding schedules, administer basic medications if needed, and provide updates and photos so owners know their dog is safe and doing well.

About: Dogs aren’t just pets to me… they’re family. I’ve been caring for dogs for 10 plus years, and I truly love getting to know each pup’s personality, quirks, and favorite belly rub spots. Whether your dog is playful and energetic or more of a cuddle-on-the-couch type, I make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home. I have an open and flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention and care throughout the day. I’m available for weekdays, weekends, and holidays, and I can accommodate last-minute bookings when needed. Your dog won’t be left alone for long periods and will get lots of supervision, playtime, and companionship. 🐾 I take time to learn each dog’s routine, behavior, and any special needs so I can care for them the way you do. Whether that means sticking to specific feeding schedules, administering medication, or giving them space when they need quiet time, I follow your instructions closely. If I’m in a client’s home, I’m respectful of your space and keep your pet’s routine as normal as possible to reduce stress. I monitor for any changes in behavior, appetite, or energy and will contact you right away if anything seems off. I believe trust is built through communication, consistency, and genuine love for animals and I treat every pet like they’re my own family member. 🐾❤️

About: Growing up surrounded by pets of all sizes and species, I've developed a deep understanding of each animal's unique needs. My lifelong love for animals stems from knowing they're truly family members who give us their whole hearts. I'm experienced in administering medications (pills, liquids, and injections) and have experience and am comfortable providing specialized care for pets in recovery. Whether your furry, feathered, or scaled family member needs basic care/companionship, medical attention, or just a walk to get some exercise, I'm here to give them the same love and attention they'd receive from you. Let me give you complete peace of mind while you're away—your pets will be in caring, capable hands! Whether you need someone to stop by or look after your house, I am available 7 days a week. Please provide at least 1 day notice to confirm availability. Since I rent my home I am only able to come to you! I currently reside in Oakland, so I am open and available to any needs within the area.

Nicole communicated and sent a photo of my cat every day I was out of town. When I had an ant invasion, she was able to find and set out the ant traps I remembered I had, which successfully distracted the ants away from the food and water bowls. My cat often doesn't love to be around strangers, but she very quickly warmed up to Nicole as soon as they met. She was great!!

About: I am an all around animal lover with extensive experience in the care for and training of cats and dogs. Pawsitive reinforcement and clicker training have been my focus. I have worked in a doggy day care/boarding facility in San Francisco and gained hands-on experience on caring for 20-50 dogs at once. I have always cared for my friend's and family's pets as well. I also worked at a doggy day care in Fremont, CA caring for about 15-20 dogs on a daily basis including overnight care. Why I love dog sitting I have been an animal lover all my life. My first memories are those in which I was in contact with animals. My passion for dogs came to me as a child and over the years I learned many training methods and hope to help all dogs in need of attention/love/training. About my yard I currently have no yard. My experience administering medication I have experience in administering various medications and would be please to help take care of a special needs pup. I have lots of experience with dogs that get siezures as well.

About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to gentle seniors. My care includes feeding, walking, playtime, administering medications when needed, and making sure pets feel safe and loved while their owners are away. I treat every dog as if they were my own, focusing on their unique routines and personalities. I’m a college student so I have a lot of free times in my hands. There isn’t anything else I’d rather do than to spend time with your doggies If pets are in my home, I provide a safe and welcoming environment with plenty of supervision, cozy spaces for rest, and opportunities for play and exercise. I always use secure leashes and watch closely on walks to keep pets safe. My goal is to give each pet the right balance of structure, affection, and fun so they feel loved and well cared for.

Alisha was SO great. My pet sitter got sick and she was available in such a short period of time. She came over and did an extensive meet and greet with my scardey boy and it was immediately clear how much she loves and cares for animals. Despite my skiddish baby being a no show for most of her visits she confirmed proof of life, eating, and drinking. Even noting the new impressions on the bed and the whiskers in the bowl. Would highly recommend and book again!

Megan is great! She was very patient with Milo who loves to hiss at everyone. I was surprised he was rubbing again her leg by day two. She gave the best report cards and pictures and gave me piece of mind about leaving my babies at home while going on vacation. It was short trip this time, but would definitely book her again for future longer trips.

I had the pleasure of meeting Christina and having her stay in our home, and we couldn’t be happier. We have three dogs, and when I came home they were clearly content and well cared for—I know this because they were happily exhausted! Christina sent us the most adorable photos during her stay, which brought us so much peace of mind. Our home looked wonderful as well—honestly, even better than when we left it. Our dogs each have big personalities and very specific needs, and Christina listened carefully and followed everything exactly as we discussed. We are so grateful to have her in our lives now and felt completely confident that our dogs were safe, loved, well fed, and truly cared for. That’s all anyone could ever want. And she is very cool and patient! Lucky us!

Jiaji is an incredibly caring and loving sitter. She took excellent care of my cat, DeeDee, and kept me updated throughout the stay with detailed and thoughtful notes, which gave me so much peace of mind. One day, DeeDee unexpectedly threw up on the couch, and Jiaji handled everything so responsibly—she cleaned it right away and also checked with me to see if DeeDee needed any medication. Her attentiveness and communication really stood out. You can truly feel her genuine love and care for animal friends. We were very happy to have Jiaji as our cat caregiver while we were away, and I would absolutely recommend her to other pet parents.
