“Laura was absolutely amazing watching our two kitties while we were traveling over the holidays! She sent great pictures every day and nice updates about how they were doing, and I know they were well taken care of because they seemed less mad than usual when we got back home :-P She also offered to water our plants and Christmas tree, which was super helpful as well! Overall communication and professionalism were 10/10, would definitely ask her to pet sit again in the future. Thanks Laura!!”

About: I grew up with cats and dogs. I was taught to care for them with kindness and patience. I was taught how to bottle feed, clean litter boxes, make sure bowls are clean and play with all pets to make sure they get the attention they deserve I’m available weekends starting Thursday for home drop ins or walks. Thursdays and Friday after 5:30pm, and Saturday and Sunday all day work best for home drop ins and walks I’m very active and can do long walks or plays. I can also do drop-ins. I’m flexible and communicative to ensure you don’t have any extra stressors and able to enjoy your travels/ days off.

About: I’ve grown up caring for pets for over 10 years, with experience handling cats, birds, hamsters, and reptiles. For dog walks, keeping your pup safe, engaged, and happy is my top priority. For drop-in visits, I provide dependable feedings, fresh water, spotless litter and habitat care, and plenty of interactive play or gentle companionship. I can’t wait to meet your pups! 🐾 As a college student, my schedule gives me great flexibility throughout the week. I have open availability in the mornings, early afternoons, and evenings, making it easy to fit into your pet’s normal routine. I love staying active and spending time outdoors, so your dogs can count on energetic neighborhood walks, fun park outings, and plenty of fresh air. Your pet’s safety and well-being come first. In your home, I keep everything tidy, follow your exact feeding and care guidelines, and send regular photo updates so you always have complete peace of mind.

About: I've cared for pets my whole life and can’t imagine a home without them! I currently have a pitbull and a dachshund, and I’ve always had cats too. I believe every animal deserves respect, patience, and understanding. I’m great at reading animal body language, respecting their boundaries, and making them feel safe and happy. I use lots of positive reinforcement—like treats you approve of—to build trust and comfort. I also have experience safely administering medications, whether it's pills, liquids, or topical treatments. If needed, I can gently and safely correct bad behavior to help reinforce good habits. Your pets will be treated like family. :) I recently lost my job due to federal cuts, so I'm available all week days! Please let me know your schedule and we can try to find something that works. Safety is important. Please let me know of any precautions I should take when visiting. I'll be sure to do whatever is necessary to make you and your pet comfortable and safe during the visit.

About: Ever since I was a kid, I've loved animals. Growing up, my family had both cats and dogs, and I always enjoyed getting to know their unique personalities. I spent time playing with them, caring for them, and even drawing them. In 2014, I adopted my first pet as an adult, Momo, a sweet cat with short legs and a big personality. In 2020, our family grew again with Oogi, a playful corgi. Through caring for them, I gained years of hands-on experience with feeding routines, exercise, enrichment, grooming, training, and veterinary care. Oogi and I completed multiple training classes together, and I spent time learning about dog behavior and body language to better understand and communicate with dogs. I also cared for Momo throughout his senior years, including administering medications and supporting him through medical treatments. As a home-based artist, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide plenty of attention, companionship, walks, playtime, and care throughout the day. I understand how important pets are because mine have always been family, and I will treat your pets with the same love, patience, and respect I would want for my own. As a home-based artist, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to spend plenty of time with the pets in my care. My days typically include working from home, which means I can provide regular attention, companionship, walks, playtime, feeding, and check-ins throughout the day. I strive to keep pets on their normal routines and provide updates so you can feel confident while you're away. I understand that every pet and household is unique. Before each booking, I take time to learn your pet's routines, preferences, medications, and any special instructions. I pay close attention to safety, keep doors and gates secure, monitor behavior and health, and make sure pets receive the care and attention they need. I treat every home with respect and will provide regular updates and photos so you know how your pet is doing while you're away.

About: With over ten years of hands-on experience caring for my own anxious, grumpy little dog, I’ve developed a deep well of patience, empathy, and skill—especially with pets who need a little extra understanding. I specialize in building trust with animals who are nervous, particular, or slow to warm up, and I truly enjoy earning their affection on their terms. I have experience with senior care, including administering medications, monitoring health changes, and maintaining comfortable routines. I’m also confident with training puppies and reinforcing positive behaviors, especially for dogs who need consistency and calm energy. Whether it's a clingy cat who needs companionship or a temperamental pup who prefers personal space, I tailor my care to fit each animal’s emotional and physical needs. I’m not just here to walk or feed—I’m here to make your pet feel safe, understood, and loved while you're away. Pet care is a meaningful and fulfilling part of my weekly rhythm. Whether it’s a quick visit for a shy cat, a weekend walk for your grumpy pup, or a cozy check-in while you're away, I’m happy to work around your schedule to give your pets the reliable, thoughtful care they deserve. I believe pets feel safest and happiest in their own space, so I focus on providing calm, attentive care right in your home—where they’re most comfortable. I follow your instructions closely to maintain their normal routines, whether that means specific feeding times, medication schedules, walk preferences, or favorite hiding spots for shy cats. For drop-ins and walks, I make sure your pet gets both physical exercise and emotional attention—whether that’s playtime, gentle companionship, or simply a peaceful presence. I always keep the home tidy, respect your space, and provide updates with photos so you can feel confident that your pets are in good hands. I don’t offer care in my own home, but I’m fully committed to making your home feel like a safe, calm haven while you’re away.

“Sarah did an amazing job! She was so kind and our puppy loved her! I would absolutely trust her to watch over our little pup again. She came to check on our puppy 3x a day, and she would play with him and feed him. We loved working with Sarah! She constantly checked in and. gave us updates on our pup! We absolutely would ask her to help us with our pup again. We 100% would recommend her!”

About: Hi, I’m Alicia! 🐈‍⬛🐶❤️ I’ve always had a natural connection with animals and have experience caring for both cats and dogs, including feeding, walking, playtime, companionship, cleaning, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable in their environment. I’m currently offering personalized pet care in the Bay Area, with a special focus on cats who may prefer a calm, cozy home environment over a traditional boarding facility. My home is set up with cat-friendly essentials including water fountains, scratchers, climbing spaces, cozy resting areas, toys, and enrichment. I keep my capacity small so each pet gets plenty of individual attention rather than feeling lost in a crowded environment. Before each stay, I like to learn your pet’s routine, personality, feeding schedule, bathroom habits, favorite activities, triggers, medications, and anything else that helps them feel at home. I’m happy to communicate through text, phone, or email to make the process convenient. I understand that pet care needs can come up for vacations, work, moving, temporary housing situations, emergencies, or simply when you need an extra hand. I’m open to discussing both short- and longer-term care depending on your pet’s needs. Whether your fur baby is playful, shy, independent, cuddly, energetic, or somewhere in between, my goal is to make their time with me feel safe, comfortable, and loved. 🏡🐾 I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family member! I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to pet care throughout the day. I’m available for boarding and care on weekdays and weekends, with time for walks, play, feeding, bathroom breaks, companionship, and individual attention. I provide a clean, calm, pet-friendly environment where safety and comfort come first. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, feeding schedule, exercise needs, and any special instructions. I carefully supervise pets in my care and keep their space clean, comfortable, and secure.

I can't wait to meet your adorable pets!! <3 ☺️ I’m currently in a culinary program as I take a break from working in mental health which is my primary profession. I go into program in the city three days a weel from 8am-1:30pm Tuesdays through Thursdays. I can work anytimes generally Mondays, Fridays, and weekend days. As well as Tuesdays through Thursday from 3pm-7:30pm. I have a weekly routine with my pup as in learned her, I've found that it works best for her. She has outside time three times a day with two 15-30min local walks and usually an 1hr or 1.5hr of play time midday at our local dog park or puppyland at lake merritt finishing up with a calming walk to bring her energy back to homeostasis. We'll also have cuddle time and more play depending on how much she needs given the days, so I stay attuned to her. Usually on Sunday mornings I like to take her in the morning to a bigger park we both enjoy to walk. It is often either Albany bulb, Point Isabel, or right now Reinhardt Redwood Regional Park!! Learning what is best for my dog to ensure she has a happy, fulfilling, and enriched life is important to me and I see the same with any pets I care for too. If you have a preferred care plan/ routine/ specific needs I’m all ears to understanding what is best in supporting your pet!

“Did a great job!”

“Cynthia did two drop visits in one day with my sweet Edwyn pup. She kept me updated each step of the way and left my keys in the proper spot. I especially appreciated her photos and walk summaries. Thank you, Cynthia!”
