Pet Sitting & Drop Ins in Lake Merritt, Oakland

“Jonathan and Chiel are amazing! This was my first time using Rover and it was a great experience. They communicated well, gave great updates and took great care of my dog. It was so nice to have peace of mind while on my trip. I will definitely use them again.”

“Sun once again did an amazing job of watching Sylvester! I’ve felt so safe and secure knowing Slyvester’s having a lot of time with them and they even sweetly left a little thank you packet for both him and I! Thanks Sun and I will be booking again!”

“Madeline was fantastic with my dear old dog. The photos she sent during her time taking care of him were very thoughtful. He was very relaxed when I returned home, clear evidence that he was well cared for.”

“Christine did such a wonderful job taking care of my cat. My cat stayed in hiding for every visit but she still did a great job of updating me on her food and water levels and assuring me that she was doing fine. She was easy to communicate with and very kind.”

“Natalie has watched my dog and cat multiple times. My dog is a difficult puppy and normally doesn't like people, but seeing Natalie is exciting for her. It's like having a friend come over! She cares for all of her needs and takes special time to make sure she's safe on walks around other dogs. She medicates her when she needs it too!”

“We needed a cat sitter at the last minute and Mary came to the rescue. She even came on Christmas day for our first meet and greet. I would highly recommend Mary.”

“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.”

“Thanks for all of your help! Emma was great with my dog, lots of funny pictures sent during the check ins. Emma suggested meeting up to go over the plan of care before and I really appreciate that time spent. Moose loved the attention & im happy to establish this relationship.”

“I have had the pleasure of knowing Vanessa since the summer of 2019, and I can confidently say that she is an exceptional pet caregiver. As my next-door neighbor, I had the opportunity to witness firsthand her love and dedication toward her own dog, Eko. Vanessa treated Eko like a cherished family member, providing him with the utmost care and attention. What truly impressed me about Vanessa is her commitment to helping animals in need. She selflessly volunteered her time to foster numerous rescued puppies, providing them with a safe and nurturing environment until they found their forever homes. Her compassion and dedication toward these animals were truly admirable. When I needed someone to look after my four dogs during an extended period of absence, I knew without a doubt that Vanessa was the perfect person for the job. Her responsible nature and genuine love for animals made her an ideal choice. She went above and beyond to ensure that my dogs were well taken care of, providing them with the same level of love and attention that she gives to her own furry friend. Vanessa's professionalism, reliability, and genuine love for animals make her an outstanding pet caregiver. I have complete trust in her ability to care for any pet, and I wholeheartedly recommend her services to anyone in need of a responsible and loving caregiver for their beloved pets.”

“Zara was lovely and took excellent care of my cat (even sent me a video!), and was very flexible with my weird travel plans which were due to a somewhat last-minute familial medical event. Thank you Zara!!”

“I have known Anais for almost 20 years since we met working at a vet clinic. She takes amazing care of her own pets as well as other people's pets. She has years of veterinary and petsitting experience and is good with all pets, including pets who have special needs or medications.”

“Cindy and Cesar were super professional and awesome about popping in on my little pal, Snacks. I def would recommend them and will book again. Thanks to you both!”

“Korin was amazing with our dogs. They can be a little hesitant of strangers when they first come but she did an amazing job adapting to their personality and caring for them. Will book again!”

“I can't recommend Don enough. He is calm, compassionate, and steadfast in his care. I have a reactive dog, Yoshi, and there are very few people in the world that I trust to take care of her and Don is top among them. Don is really good at reading animal signals and knows how to build trust with them. I see it with Yoshi and how calm she is around Don, she is better behaved and a better listener in their care. It is clear there is a lot of love and trust. Don is so responsible and consistent, they are aware of the needs of creatures and how to support them in a positive way. Don is the best!”

“Hyazinth was amazing with my two kitties. Very happy coming home to them and seeing that they’ve been well taken care of. They also provided wonderful updates for me everyday with pictures to look forward to. Thank you!”

“Jenifer is great with pets! Not only does she have the cutest cat herself that she adores and takes great care of, but she's also been amazing with our own 8-month old puppy and a friend's 5-year old German Shepard. She loves to take my puppy on walks and keep him engaged with playing and activities. My puppy is always so happy to see her, literally jumping up and down each time!”

“Rachel is a loving, respectful, and responsible caretaker! My cat Rory loves staying with her and thrives in her company. Rachel is playful and attentive with her and is knowledgeable with pet care.”

“Katie has extensive experience caring for our dog Ava, including providing walks, drop-ins, and housesitting. She is an extremely responsible, communicative, and reliable dog sitter who can truly adapt as needed to any unexpected challenges that arise. Our dog can be high maintenance and rather persistent about trying to eat things she shouldn't, but Katie has always been very adaptable and able to keep Ava in check while we're away. She is also a true dog lover, which was a priority for us when looking for someone to watch our dog. For those with dogs who are low-key, a handful like ours, or anywhere in between, I highly recommend Katie as a dog sitter!”

“Crystal saved the day at the last minute with a drop in visit with our dogs. We’ll definitely book her again. :-)”
