Pet Sitting & Drop Ins In Lake Merritt

“As always Danielle took wonderful care our girl Dahlia. Plus she watered our pack yard for us and brought in our mail. I can’t tell you what a relief it is for us to know that she is here stopping by taking care of our precious Dahlia, and odds and ends while we are away. Thank you Danielle ❤️❤️❤️”

“Jessica went above and beyond in caring for my rambunctious cat while I was out of town. My cat doesn’t always like people but he loved her right away and Jessica did such a wonderful job sending photos and updates. When I came home I could tell that my baby was well taken care of. I cannot recommend Jessica enough!”

“Cyvanah was wonderful with my baby boi Hilo. I especially appreciated the multiple photos and summaries of each day from Cyvanah. It put my mind at ease and I looked forward to each update while away. She bonded with my kitton spectacularly and he was cuddling on her lap in no time. She has a way with cats and I would trust Cyvanah with any fur baby of mine. She is professional, punctual and a great communicator.”

“Can’t even count how many times we have had Cindy look after our cat Goose over the years :) Cindy goes above and beyond, giving Goose lots of pets and always leaves the apartment super clean”

“Fuliang did a great job. I felt my cat Alba was well cared for. I got a nice detailed report on the last day. Could have used a picture of my cat everyday but otherwise I am a very satisfied customer and will use this sitter again for my pet sitting needs.”

“Stephanie did a great job with my cats. Good communication, consistent, they were very well taken care of. Highly recommend!”

“If we could leave more than 5 stars we would. Alyssa gave good vibes dome the jump. Once the visits started we got follow-up questions, plenty of photos, and updates, Alyssa was a phenomenal sitter with great communication. We could tell the kitties were in such great hands, because they didn't even run up to the door for cuddles when we got home. That has never happened. We appreciated the care Alyssa took to sweep up the litter too because no other rover sitter we've had has done that.”

“I felt comfortable with Stephan taking care of my dog. He was very responsive and loved my dog (which I find to be very important) My puppy also seemed to respond to him well which makes my heart smile Thank you so much Stephan!!”

About: I've spent most of my life around animals, beginning with bunnies and hamsters and then my childhood dog, Rocky, that we rescued when I was 10. In addition to volunteering at the Berkeley Humane Society where I loved helping out with walks and training, I've also been a proud dog and cat mom over the years which has further strengthened my experience with training and caring for pets of all ages. Currently, I'm the proud mom of Pancho, a sweet 5 year old terrier mix that loves to make new friends! I'm also the go-to person for the care of my neighbor's and friend's dogs and cats while they are away. I live in Oakland just blocks away from Lake Merritt and several parks for doggie playtime. I'm a self-employed visual artist that works from home, so my schedule is open and flexible, ensuring your pet has the most attentive care. I'm a self-employed visual artist that works from home, so my schedule is open and flexible, ensuring your pets get around-the-clock care. I typically take dogs out in the mornings between 7:30-9am, mid-day walks around the lake (if possible) between noon-1:30pm, and pre-dinner walks between 5-6pm, but any custom needed schedules can always be discussed. I'm also available for home boarding (for dogs) and home check-ins (for cats) if you are taking a short trip or vacation and need someone reliable and trustworthy to watch your baby! Your pets will have full access to my apartment that resides within a secure, dog-friendly building near Lake Merritt in Oakland. I have a super friendly dog to help keep your pooch company. The building has a shared, fully fenced-in yard for playtime. For cats, I am happy to regularly check-in at your home to feed and play with your baby. Your pets will be loved and deeply cared for just as my own pup and I love sharing fun photos of your pet to help give some peace of mind while you're away.

“Grace is amazing! The cats were well loved and taken care of. I got daily reports on how things were going. Even Georgiana who is scared of strangers felt comfortable enough to get some cuddles with her. I’ll definitely use Grace next time I need someone to watch them.”

“Stephanie was super communicative and wonderful with our kitty Oona! She gave her the inhaler she needs each day and spent time playing with her and petting her. We had a great trip away knowing our kitty was well cared for. She also took great photos! Really enjoyed seeing them playing and having fun.”

“Ananda was thorough and reliable and seemed like she had a good time with my sweet boy.”

About: I've grown up with multiple dogs and am now happy to have my own little corgi-terrier named Karl and a black cat named Billie. I'm my friend's go-to pet sitter and have been loving getting to know the other dogs in the neighborhood. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, large dogs, and reactive dogs. I am available in the evenings on week days and anytime weekends. Please do not book recurring walks if they need to occur earlier on weekdays. I also work as a para educator, so my schedule is flexible, but I will be unavailable for up to 9 hours at a time. Pet care and safety is very important to me. My own dog has very high needs and requires a lot of attention and care, especially on walks, so I completely understand all the peculiar needs of all pets and their individual personalities.

About: You’ll never wonder how your baby is doing—thorough, consistent, clear communication with heightened punctuality. I bring a calm, grounded energy with photo updates and notes. I’m currently a full time student, so I schedule walks around my classes. This allows for constant availability during my set times while staying reliable, organized and attentive. I focus on safe, attentive care during each walk by following your dog’s routine utilizing secure leash handling, monitoring behave and health as well as daily updates.

“Words can’t express how Thankful I am for Emilia-Laura. She is so sweet, caring, punctual and overall just a great sitter. I feel like I finally found a reliable sitter and my dogs adore her. I trust her with my dogs, and I appreciate everything she’s done in the many weeks I booked her 💞”

“Jen was very communicative. She also was very patient and kind after one of my dogs had an accident in the house. She went above and beyond to clean up and take care of him. She also provided bunch of updates and details so I knew what was going on. It was definitely a piece of mind, knowing that she was there taking care of everything.”
