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.

Madeline did a great job watching our 1 year old Zuko. She was very communicative and sent plenty of pictures! Even dealt with getting into our apartment after we had accidentally locked the door. Would recommend!

About: Hi I am a vet assistant that is trying to help the community and pet parents who love their fur babies as much as I do! I know finding care can be stressful as it requires a lot of trust, so I want to be able to provide that for pet parents and give a peace of mind. As a vet assistant I can keep a closer eye on abnormalities and notice signs for any serious illness, I also have much experience with cats and dogs as I have 6 cats of my own and 2 chihuahuas. I hope to care for your babies and help you guys out! I currently work overnights so I am able to provide care and love to your baby early morning and evening before night shifts. ❤️ Breakfast and dinner with them is my specialty haha All my babies are fully vaccinated and on flea/tick prevention so they won’t transmit any diseases or fleas and I always carry a clean pair of shoes and clothes with me so I don’t transfer anything to your babies.

Suzanne took great care of my baby Cosmo! She was quick to respond to messages, sent thorough updates, and clearly really understands and loves cats - even my shy boy warmed up to her faster than usual. I would definitely recommend her as a pet-sitter and will book again!

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.

Alameda, CA, 94501

About: I have over 6 years of experience as a cat & dog owner. Raised my own dog from a puppy (she’s now a happy 3-year-old Corgi!) and cared for two cats for several years also. I’m well versed in everything from high energy puppy play to the quiet, patient approach many cats prefer. I also have experience fostering dogs with complex behavioral needs, like those struggling with 'stranger danger' and anxiety. I know that building trust takes time & a calm presence. I take care of mine, and others’ furbabies as if they were my own children. As a college student that has classes online, my schedule can be quite flexible. I am happy & willing to work with clients to best help with what they need. Safety is super important to me (as it should be) because I understand you are entrusting me with basically your child. I am very attentive & vigilant. Always keeping an eye on your pet to make sure they are safe, and they’re surroundings are safe for them.

Emilia-Laura was amazing with my senior cat who is normally very shy around strangers. She was patient and gentle, letting my cat approach at their own pace. By the end of the 2 weeks she completely warmed up to her and clearly trusted her. Elemlia followed all care instructions perfectly and sent great updates. I highly recommend her especially if you have a senior or shy pets!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

About: Friends have asked me to care for their fur babies at numerous times in my life. I'll make sure your pet is cared for like my own. I'm open to giving medication, if necessary. From pups/kittens to senior care, I can manage them all. I want to help pet owners during my free time. Since I currently don't own pets at this time, I've decided to help those who are. I work full-time, but sometimes I have more time weekdays as well. Generally, I'm pretty open on weekends and after 3:30pm during the week. Since I don't currently have my own pets, I'm gonna provide great care to yours! I enjoy taking dogs for walks. I live near an amazing park. Making your pet feel comfortable and happy is important. Once trust is built, all will be well.

Crocker Highland, Oakland, CA, 94610

About: I take pride in creating a calm, safe, and welcoming environment for both pets and the homes I care for. My approach is attentive and thoughtful—I pay close attention to routines, preferences, and small details that help animals feel secure and comfortable. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, administering medications, or simply providing companionship, I treat every pet with patience, empathy, and genuine care. Experience-wise I have been a cat owner since I was a small child, have experience fostering litters of kittens, and currently have 2 adult Balinese of my I care for since they were 4 months old. I have experience caring for geckos (feeding live crickets!), hamsters, and bird care. I am also mom to doodle half-siblings, caring for them since they were puppies. I’m respectful of the homes I’m trusted with. I practice the "leave things better than you found them" mantra by keeping spaces clean and organized, following instructions accurately, and communicating regularly as scheduled so owners feel confident and worry-free while they’re away. Reliability and consistency are important to me. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your home and pets in someone else’s hands. Above all, I truly enjoy building connections—with both pets and their people—and making sure everything runs smoothly so you can have peace of mind. Contact me to discuss your care needs! I'm currently working part-time which leaves me flexible to schedule care for your pets and home. I am also available to handle small projects or home tasks, run errands, and organize spaces as needed. Please ask me and we will discuss your needs. I am happy to schedule regular dog walks, play dates or overnight care in your home for your dogs. I am also available to schedule cat check-ins/playtime. My goal is for you to return to a home and/or pet better/happier than you left it.

Shelly was perfect! We were so nervous about leaving our cats for a week in the middle of dealing with a flea-mageddon, but Shelly was incredibly understanding of our situation and took such great care of both our babies and our home. We would definitely book again!

Charlotte did an amazing job with our cat Ginger during our time away. Very clear and quick communication about anything we needed to know and she was sooo great with our little cat Ginger. Ginger is very needy and she clearly got all the attention she deserves when Charlotte would visit. We even need to come pet her in the living room now because well, that’s how Charlotte did it! Very grateful for her expertise and true passion for animals and will absolutely rebook if we are heading out of town again!

Always appreciate how happy my kitties are when Rachael takes care of them. She sends great action shots of the cats, is thorough about cat box cleaning, communicates well, and is tuned in with the distinct needs of each cat. It’s clear that Rachael really cares for animals, and is easily the most trustworthy pet sitter I’ve had the pleasure working with. Thanks Rachael :)

Lauren has a true magic touch with shy cats. My cat usually disappears the entire time a sitter is in the house, but somehow Lauren knows exactly how to coax her out of hiding. I’m always amazed when I receive photos of my cat calmly roaming around as if nothing’s changed. It gives me so much peace of mind to see my cat relaxed and comfortable in Lauren’s care. My cat is happy, and that makes me happy too. As long as her schedule allows, I’ll absolutely continue booking with Lauren.
