“Charlotte is a wonderful pet sitter!! She was communicative, responsible, and very thoughtful in taking care of my cat. It was supposed to be hotter than I expected while I was away, and she was great about checking in and offering to help keep my apartment cool for my cat's comfort. He also was so happy to get some lap time and company with her! She's awesome and reliable, and I will absolutely be booking her again for future sitting needs.”

About: I've been working with dogs of a variety of ages and breeds to add to my income, providing house sitting and dogwalking. I'm happy to help with routine duties and can discuss your pet's needs. I have a part-time remote schedule and am interested in discussing drop-ins or walks from 10-2 on weekdays. I can rearrange work to provide flexible support on request. I can provide drop-ins or walks, according to client instructions. I am not providing care in my own home currently, but I can travel to clients.

About: Hi everyone, I work in mental/behavioral health and am saving up for graduate school! I am very passionate about animals, especially dogs and cats. I moved to California from the Netherlands a few years ago. I am looking for new pet sitting clients in the East Bay or San Francisco. I can do overnight pet sitting as well as walks or visits during the day. I also live right by Lake Merritt so if you live nearby, I’d love to take your dog on walks around the lake. A full loop around the lake takes about 1 hour and 15 minutes (a little over 3 miles). I can pick up and drop off your dog at your house. I have several years experience in cat sitting as well as several years dog sitting and dog walking (middle-aged Labrador, middle-aged German Shepard mix, and puppy Border Collie). I work swing shift (roughly from 3-11pm) on Sunday-Thursday. So, I’m available for drop-in visits or walks during the morning/early afternoon. On Fridays and Saturdays, I might have availability but sometimes I have plans. Please just reach out to check if I’m available on those days! I can’t have pets at my apartment but at clients’ homes, we can play with toys, or we can walk around the neighborhood or to a nearby park. I like to know a little bit about them before I care for them so that I can try to make them feel comfortable being around me.

About: I’m the devoted doggie aunt to some pretty fantastic pups, and I genuinely love spending time with dogs. Walks aren’t something I rush through—I’m happy to let your dog sniff, explore, get some exercise and enjoy being outside. I’m dependable, attentive and comfortable following your dog’s particular routine, whether that means a brisk walk, a leisurely neighborhood sniffari, playtime or just some extra company and affection. I’ll treat your pup like one of my own—even though I’m still waiting for one of my own! My schedule is currently very flexible, which means I can accommodate weekday and weekend visits and walks, including daytime hours when many people are at work. I’m happy to work around your pet’s established routine and give them the time and attention they’re accustomed to. I know that trusting someone with your pet—and access to your home—is a big deal. I’m mature, dependable, communicative and respectful of your space and your pet’s routine. I follow instructions carefully, pay attention to changes in behavior, and know how to stay calm if something unexpected happens. Most importantly, I’ll treat your pets with patience, kindness and affection.

About: I’ve cared for pups for friends, family, and neighbors, and have also had the joy of fostering dogs. I love getting to know each dog’s personality and giving them plenty of love, attention, and cuddles. I will send all of my clients high-quality (and cute!) daily photo/video updates 🎞️ My schedule is pretty flexible! I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, boarding, and house sitting throughout the week, and most weekends as well. I’m in class Wednesday evenings from 6–9pm and one weekend a month, but otherwise I have plenty of availability to spend time with your pup. I live in a dog-friendly apartment with my 6-year-old Frenchie, who gets along great with other dogs. In order to ensure the comfort and safety of all parties, I have a strict policy of only boarding ONE dog at a time. Your pup will get lots of individual attention while also getting plenty of doggy playtime with my super-friendly pup.

About: Hi! I’m Madeline. I’m an urban planner based in Seattle and am currently living in the East Bay while my partner works in the area. I’d love to provide dependable, thoughtful care for your pets while you’re away! I’ve been a cat owner for eight years and grew up caring for cats, dogs, guinea pigs, and even a 40-year-old parrot! For just as long, I’ve been trusted by friends, neighbors, and loved ones to care for their cats and dogs. I understand how important it is to know your pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for when you can’t be there yourself. I’d love to meet you and your furry family members! Thank you for considering me for your pet care needs. I have a flexible work schedule while I’m in the East Bay, so I can provide plenty of attention and accommodate your pet’s routine. I’m happy to work around feeding times, walks, medications, and other specific care needs to help keep your pet comfortable and on their normal schedule. I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for every pet in my care. I’m attentive to their routines, boundaries, and individual needs, and I treat every home with the same respect I would my own.

“Cindy and Cesar did an excellent job taking care of our cat, Lucy for 9 days while we were away. They sent us pictures every day and left our house sparkling clean. We would highly recommend them.”

“I never left My Chutney with anyone else but he loved Patrice! Chutney had accidents every day and she didn’t complain I would recommend Patrice highly and will be hiring her for all my future trips …”

“Danielle is amazing! Lenny looked so happy in the photos and was in good spirits when I got home. Great communication. She took him over to Lake Merritt during two 1-hr visits. I will definitely book with her again!”

“This was Crystal’s second time visiting Cleo and everything was great. Crystal goes above and beyond. Among other things, she even brought my trash and compost bins up my steep driveway without me even asking. Great job and thanks again, Crystal.”

About: Ciao! My name is Matt and I'm very excited to have the opportunity to meet you and some of the amazing pets we have here in the city. I currently live near the rose garden/Piedmont. I live close to several other parks, and I always enjoy meeting new pet friends that come my way. I really don't have many restrictions, but all I ask is that if you are interested in meeting to discuss my services that we have great communication (whether it's email, call/text, etc.) I work from home during the week and actively get outside myself, so I'm sure we could work something out if you need help with your pet! Comfort and exercise go hand-in-hand in my experience. Play time and treats are always possible. Companionship is a must and routine is our next best friend.

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.

Message me to set up a meet and greet to see if your pup and I are a good fit. Positive reinforcement training only. Harness and poop bags must be provided. proud pet parent to a dog named Delilah 3 cats Soup, Ziggy, and Frank a leopard gecko named Stanley I’m available Monday- Friday and some weekends. I'm open to overnights and traveling. I prefer reoccurring clients to develop a bond and trust. I also offer transportation for field trips such as hikes & the beach: My 3 cats are indoor only, I have successfully introduced them using a slow and comfortable pace. They are fed wet food with extra freeze-dried toppers, morsels, and salmon oil. I provide fresh water and daily litterbox cleanings. I also frequently switch enrichment activities like toys, lickmats, and puzzles.

“Vaneesha was great with Sky! We did a meet-and-greet and I asked her to come by 2x a day. I felt a lot less guilty leaving for my trip with the photos she sent me and the time she spent with Sky. She was also flexible and quick to respond when my trip got extended. Thank you Vaneesha! 🙏”

“Grace took care very well of Arietta. She was very communicative during my trip. She also vacuumed the litter on the floor. I would highly recommend Grace and will definitely rebook in the future.”

About: I love dogs! Caring for them is one of my greatest joys. I am great with dogs of all ages and sizes. I have always had a pet in my home. I have raised my own puppy from 2 months old and have helped raise many other puppies. I am comfortable with a high energy dog who needs a lot of attention and exercise and understand the extra care and compassion needed for older dogs. I am in great physical condition and consider myself to be strong which is always helpful when walking reactive or larger dogs. I am currently working part time from home and have flexible hours. Tons of availability. I am interested in making pet care more of a full time job. I live in a small apartment with my own 7lb yorkie. I am willing to host other small animals if we know our pets get along. I am willing to pet sit in your home with or without my dog pending the circumstances.

“She was sweet with my kitty. Would definitely rebook.”

About: I specialize in overnight, in-home pet sitting so your dog can stay relaxed and comfortable in their own space while you’re away. I bring a calm, grounded presence and focus on keeping your pet’s routine consistent—walks, meals, and quiet time—so they feel secure and settled. This is especially helpful for dogs who are anxious, sensitive, older, or simply happiest at home. I stay overnight and provide a steady, reliable presence in your home. I treat your space with care and respect, and I communicate clearly so you always know how your pet is doing. I’m a great fit for: * Dogs who prefer staying at home rather than boarding * Anxious or sensitive dogs * Senior pets or those with established routines * Multi-pet households I currently work from home and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to be present and attentive throughout the day. I’ve lived in California for nearly 20 years and recently spent six years in my native Norway. My background in research has made me detail-oriented, responsible, and thoughtful in how I care for both animals and people’s homes. I’m happy to follow detailed instructions and keep things the way you like them. My goal is simple: you come home to a happy, settled pet and a well-cared-for, clean home. I genuinely enjoy the quiet rhythm of house sitting and the chance to give pets steady, attentive care. I work part time remotely, so I can schedule my time around pet sits and taking care of animals. I can work with weekdays as well as weekends, mornings or evenings. Being in your home I would follow the instructions you give me, whether that’s feeding or walking times. I work from home, and enjoy having pets around. I ensure the pet is feeling safe and tended to, and show care for them (as they may wonder who the stranger is). I am clean and organized, and take care of your home in the way I would care for my own home. I’m also a good communicator and will send you photos of us!
