“Always my go-to person when I need to go away for a few days. My senior cat loves her and I’m sure my shy one appreciates her presence :) Thank you, Amber!”

“Our cat is very shy and cat sitters barely see him when doing check-ins. Somehow Rebecca gained his trust on the second day and he was comfortable being approached and pet. It made us feel better being away knowing that our cat wasn’t hiding the whole time we were gone. I’d definitely reach out to Rebecca again in the future.”

“Sheryl was great! She was punctual, communicative, and most importantly very great with our puppy. On the days she came to walk him we’d get home to a mellow puppy who I know got lots of love, attention and exercise in our absence. Highly recommend her services!”

Jessica D.

“Francesca truly went above and beyond for our cats! They warmed up so quickly to her, even our very shy/timid cat. She took the time to get to know them and made them feel comfortable during our vacation. We were at ease knowing they were in the best hands! We would absolutely want Francesa to watch our kitties again! Her knowledge of cat behavior is an added bonus!”

About: I’ve taken care of many dogs and cats over the years. I love spending time with animals and provide careful and loving attention to them all. I’m an avid hiker and trail runner so I love being outside with active animals. I am currently working part time and my work schedule is flexible! I’m around weekends and early mornings. I make sure to fit pet care in with my other responsibilities. I make sure to carefully follow instructions left by the pet owner and always ask questions if I have them and send regular updates about the pet.

“Vivian was wonderful with Honey. They knew just what to do and gave me great tips to help with her issues of separation anxiety and crate training. They took a walk during the 3 hrs I worked and I never heard any barking as I had in the past. I really appreciated that they made themselves available at late notice and the thoughtful care they used in dealing with Honey.”

“Maria came through for us and took care of Raylan when we needed. She even adjusted her schedule to fit some changes we needed and was easy to communicate with. We loved all the pictures and reports she provided. We will definitely book her again.”

About: Hi I’m Aurelia! I’m dedicated to sharing in the joy, fun, cuddles, walking, and love of all the dogs and cats I can find (and who find me)! Growing up with dogs and cats at home, I have always loved being around animals. My two dogs have been a German Shepherd mix (Bela) and a miniature poodle (Linzee) so I have lived with and know how to care for large and small dogs! I grew up with two cats, Slate and Pippin. I currently have my own kitty, Thomas.💕 I love dog walking, and I always make sure there is lots of play. Your dog and/or cat will be lovingly cared for and have a super fun time! I look forward to meeting you and your pet :) 🐶 🐈 🩷 *NOTE: I am only available to do overnight stays for no more than one week at a time. Thank you! I’m currently between jobs (most recently worked for Kaiser Permanente) so I have lots of time to dedicate to your dog or cat, and house-sit if needed! I take house and pet instructions to heart, and make sure I have everything I need to be able to give the best care possible.

About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life. I have experience with pitbulls to Portuguese water dogs. Our family will keep your dog engaged and safe! I am currently a stay at home mom. I have plenty of time to take your dog on long walks around our neighborhood. When the whole family is around lots of laughs, chase and fetch will be had. I like to treat your dog the way you treat your dog. If your dog is most comfortable being crated I can easily provide that but if your dog likes to be out and snuggled that can happen too! I do have a fenced yard your dog to roam and explore between walks.

“Keiki is an excellent pet sitter and a wonderful person, I'm so happy I found her! She is very professional and kind, I could tell she really cared about our cats and was very detailed in asking questions about their needs. And she sent really cute photos of them :) I trust her 100%, thank you Keiki!”

About: I’m currently in graduate school studying psychology and spend a lot of time outdoors walking, hiking, and regulating my own nervous system through movement and nature. Caring for dogs feels like a natural extension of that rhythm. I’m especially good with anxious, fearful, sensitive, or highly attuned dogs who benefit from calm, grounded, patient care. I understand how much animals communicate through energy, pacing, and nervous system cues, and I aim to create an experience that feels safe and steady for both pets and owners. Whether your dog needs a peaceful walk, overnight care, playtime, or simply a reliable and attentive presence while you’re away, I genuinely enjoy getting to know each animal’s unique personality and needs. I’m happy to provide thoughtful updates and photos so you can feel at ease while your pet is in my care. I’m currently in graduate school and have a flexible schedule during the week for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting. Spending time outdoors with dogs is one of the ways I stay grounded and connected during long days of studying. I take my own dog to Point Isabel every day and especially enjoy relaxed neighborhood walks, outdoor time, and providing calm companionship and consistent care for pets while their owners are away. I approach pet care with patience, attentiveness, and respect for each animal’s unique temperament and nervous system. I’m especially comfortable with anxious, fearful, sensitive, or highly attuned dogs and aim to create an environment that feels calm, safe, and predictable. I pay close attention to body language, pacing, routines, and comfort levels, and I communicate clearly with owners so everyone feels at ease.

“Gail is so kind and gracious providing excellent service for my little shy dog who even got more social during her stay she adjusted quickly”

I keep owners updated with regular messages and photos so they always know how their pet is doing. My goal is to make pets feel comfortable, maintain their normal routine, and provide dependable care that gives owners peace of mind.

“Sandrine took wonderful care of our cats. She was professional, responded promptly to queries, sent great photos, and you can tell she genuinely loves cats!”

About: Throughout my life, I have never gone a year without living with a dog. I've learned that our canine friends are more patient and forgiving than many people I have run into, and I've learned how to show that same compassion towards them. Spend the time and you can form an unforgettable relationship! I am an Environmental Science graduate living in El Cerrito near the BART, so I can get around the city fairly quickly! If you are living in a more complex area or farther away, no problem! I have my Prius C to carry me there. I make sure my cats are fulfilled, get their nutrients and hydration, get playtime, feel safe, get some environmental stimulation in some way, and more. If you have an extensive instructions/rule list, good! The more detailed the instructions, the better!

About: I am a college student athlete looking to pick up dog sitting & walking gigs. I have experience taking care of various animals on a ranch. However, I currently love and cherish my dogs and geckos. I am energetic & attentive so I want to provide an interactive experience. It is important for pets to be mentally engaged throughout the day. I am willing to perform other services such as transportation upon request. I am empathetically connected to animals, staying attuned to what they need. I am passionate about fashion, cooking, exercise and spiritual practices. I genuinely believe all living things deserve to be treated with equal respect. I am available intermittently throughout the week. I fit in dog sitting gigs with my college schedule. I enjoy getting outside with the dogs and going on adventures! When I am in a clients home, I am respectful of the space that I am occupying, while still providing fully immersive care for your pet. I will keep a line of excellent communication open, and I will do my best to retain cleanliness. I am active, so I will want to take the dogs for walks and runs in the neighborhood/park often. While the dogs are hosted in my home they will be treated like family!

About: I've cared for pets of friends and family off and on while growing up. People's pets have always been warm to me or warmed very quickly, especially dogs. I love spending time with animals and they seem to enjoy the time too. I'm fresh to area and in need of work, so my schedule is pretty open at this timeI'm extremely flexible around your schedule and your (and your fur baby's) needs. Just a heads up, if you are 20+ miles out there will be a extra travel fee. Also if your dog requires special training outside the normal watching that is an extra fee as well. Like any good pet owner I truly treat them with the kindness and respect I'd show any other member of my family. I have a very deep empathy for animals and would care for your furry family members as I would my own.

About: I’ve spent my entire life caring for dogs, starting with my childhood pets and continuing with my own as an adult. My passion for animal care led me to work at my local animal shelter, where I gained hands-on experience supporting dogs of all ages and temperaments. I have extensive experience working with everything from young puppies to adult dogs with behavioral challenges, and I take pride in providing compassionate, thoughtful care that helps each dog feel safe, happy, and understood. I currently have open availability and can easily accommodate pet care opportunities into my schedule. I’m an early riser—typically up by 6 AM—and ready to start the day, making me flexible and reliable for morning routines and other time-sensitive needs. I have a secure, fenced-in yard that dogs will have access to during their stay. I never leave them unattended and enjoy spending time outdoors with them to ensure they feel safe and engaged. Each day includes 2–3 walks, and I always care for your pets as if they were my own—providing them with love, attention, and a structured routine.
