Pet Sitting & Drop Ins in Lakeshore, Oakland

“We have had Shanley come over for drop in visits regularly over the last few weeks. She has been wonderful with Misty, trusted, respectful and communicative. Her first visit, we had a bit of a snafu (completely our fault), and she handled it with grace and calmness (she was way more calm than me and I appreciated that!). We are so thankful we found her and we welcome her to “Team Misty!””

“Another great visit with Christine. Always makes sure my kitties are taken care of with keeping litter boxes clean, fresh food and water, playing, and pets! This time we discovered the magic of cat tv for some additional entertainment! Thanks Christine!”

“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!”

“Anais was a great sitter! I always feel more comfortable leaving my cats when I know that they are in the hands of a true animal lover, and Anais is definitely that. She was a great communicator and able to follow instructions on giving our special needs cat an inhaler dose every day. She event went above and beyond by trimming my cats’ nails! I would definitely book with her again.”

“Melina is great with all of our pets! She kept us updated and sent photos of all four pets for each drop in. My dog loves her and even the shyest cat comes out to see her during her visits.”

“Senny is wonderful! This is the second time she took care of my cats while I was away. She gives the best daily updates with pictures. I knew my cats were being loved on, played with and cared for!”

“Shelly is an amazing petsitter! She was so good with our kitties and sent the cutest photos! I really appreciate her being so thorough and thoughtful with everything and will definitely be using her next time I go out of town!”

“Becky went above and beyond in taking care of our cats. She was incredibly communicative, quickly responded to our cats' many antics, and was attentive to every detail of their care. Because of her great sense of humor, we were excited every time a new Rover card was posted, where her love and care for our cats was apparent. It can be hard to leave your pets with a stranger, but we felt completely at ease knowing that Becky was taking care of them. We would recommend her to all pet parents looking for a reliable and conscientious sitter.”

“Lauren took absolutely wonderful care of my cat Theo for the weekend! She sent detailed updates after every visit with lots of great photos and gave my cat lots of snuggles and love. Absolutely looking forward to booking with her again!”

“Andrea is a total pro. She has a lot of experience with animals. A massive amount of experience with animals. And really understands dogs. I highly recommend her.”

“Sam took excellent care of my cat Wesley over 3 drop-in visits. She had great instincts, attention to detail, and overall was a pleasure. Thank you, Sam!”

“Rest easy knowing your furry friends are in good hands! Ruby is by far the most competent and kind pet care professional I have had the honor to work with! I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my high needs pets - they require someone detail oriented, intuitive, compassionate and FUN - that is Ruby! Ruby was communicative, thorough, and easy to work with all around, what a joy! I didn’t have to explain much, Ruby took care of everything, thank you, Ruby!”

“Jesse was very caring towards my cat Jiji and kept us updated with messages and pictures! He was available on short notice and was very friendly and trustworthy, would recommend as a sitter anytime!”

“Grace has been amazing! Bowie and Georgiana love her visits, she even got some pets and lap time in with Georgiana which is a very special thing.”

“Kevin and Anna were some of the best pet sitters I have ever had. They sent plenty of photos and really gave my girls the love and care they deserved. I felt extremely confident that if anything had happened they would have handled it with love, care and lots of communication. It really meant I was able to rest assured and enjoy my holiday. I absolutely will be using them again in the future!”

“I always appreciate Tristan's quick responsiveness when called upon. He is reliable, positive, professional and trustworthy. I would not hesitate to rely on Tristan for his reliability and easy comfort with dogs.”

“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’ve taken care of neighbors pets for years and I have volunteered with animals my whole life including house pets and farm animals / livestock. I am currently taking a class in San Ramon that meets Tuesdays and Thursdays until 12:30pm aside from that I volunteer and watch my dog! I have a fenced in yard where my dog has free rein through a dog door. I also have experience using baby gates and crates.

“Annah did an amazing job taking care of my kitty. She communicated promptly and clearly, she took awesome pictures, and she went above and beyond to care for my baby. I look forward to hiring her again and I recommend her!”

About: I have experience fostering over 20 dogs from Oakland Animal Services from all ages from puppies to seniors and various sizes ranging from small dogs to large breeds and working breeds. Positive reinforcement is my philosophy. I love pets and I like to be informed about all details about your pet to identify areas to work on during walks, tricks, medical needs, and what treats get their way to their hearts. I have had the opportunity to learn a lot about their behavior and how to de-escalate in a safe manner. For cats, I have experience cat sitting and doing drop-ins. I believe patience is key as well as respecting their boundaries. I love a good play session and ensuing your kitty's needs are met. I work from home in Oakland. I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate with proper communication ahead of time. I live in a 2 bedroom apartment and while I don't we don't have pets on our own I have plenty of dog treats, enrichment toys, and plenty of activities for daycare. I would love to get as much information as possible ahead of time for things to keep in mind such as stranger danger, a possible meet up before the first walk solo with your pet, and building trust.
