Pet Sitting Lakeshore

“Danielle took great care of my kitties! They’re a bit temperamental and they loved her :)”

About: Hiya, I'm Peter! I've cared for dogs for as long as I can remember, and have since provided countless hours of pet-care of friends, family, friends of the family, and families of friends! I have years of experience doing walks, play, feeding, bathing, clean-up and more. I have experience with excitable breeds like a neighbor's golden doodle to my family's mellowed-out portugese water doggies, along with senior care. I see animal care as a privilege. Our pets are no less than little bundles of feelings and life that we are given the opportunity to cherish. I have been told on multiple occasions that I am able to calm animals unusually quickly, and I feel that I am attuned to the emotions of animals I care for. I would love to opportunity to provide care to your pet! I work from home in a low-speed position, so I have a flexible schedule for your pets' needs. Normally, I would do a morning and afternoon walk, with potty breaks peppered whenever they need. I can also step away from my work at a moment's notice if anything arises, from entertaining a bored doggie to foiling attempted counter surfing! I have a paved yard for sunbathing and potty breaks, the door to which I work right next to. I live near Lake Merritt, the Morcom Rose Garden, and a dog park, so I can provide walks of all lengths. My home is very cozy and has multiple spaces where an animal can detox from any overstimulation. I can provide a dog crate, scheduled meals, supervision, and play.

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.

“Very helpful and friendly! Communicative”

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.

“We’re ecstatic to get Christine for cat pet sitting. Her care is beyond basic. My cat is older and required medication and fluids and Christine handled that very well. She was consistent with her timing and visits. I really enjoyed all the journaling and pictures of their visits while I was away. Christine has a great sense of animals and offers intelligent advice from her experiences.”

“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 …”

About: Hi, we’re Olive and Charlie! We’re both a little obsessed with dogs, honestly — the kind of people who cross the street to say hi to someone’s dog. We each grew up caring for family dogs into their senior years, which taught us a lot about patience and paying close attention — noticing when a dog needs an easy day, or extra reassurance, or just to be left alone with their favorite spot on the couch. Those years shaped how we care for dogs now. These days we’re the go-to sitters for our friends’ dogs, and we’re in the thick of raising our own pup, Pigeon, who just turned one. Living with a curious, occasionally chaotic one-year-old has kept us sharp on positive training methods and reminded us daily that every dog has their own personality and pace — some want to run around and play, some want quiet company, some just want to know someone’s nearby. Whatever your dog needs, we’ll pay attention and meet them there. We’d love to take care of your pup! — Olive & Charlie (they/them) Pet care fits naturally into our daily routine because we’re both home most of the day. Your dog gets real attention and companionship, not just a quick check-in between long stretches alone. Our home is a calm, pet-friendly space — we keep it tidy, hazard-free, and easy for a visiting dog to settle into. Since we’re both home most of the day, your dog is never left unsupervised for long. We know that being in a new environment can be stressful, so we always give new dogs time to adjust at their own pace. We’ll get them settled into a cozy, smaller space with their comfort items or crate first, letting them decompress before exploring more of the home. We pay close attention to body language and stress signals and never rush a dog to warm up before they’re ready. For drop-in visits, we treat your home with the same care we’d want for our own. We follow your routines, stick to your dog’s schedule, and send photo updates so you always know how things are going and can see your pup happy and comfortable. Additionally we have a porch patio with a grass patch for pottying!

“Cindy and Cesar are wonderful cat sitters! Always prompt with their drop-ins and thoughtful with their updates. It’s so great knowing we are leaving our boys with folks who genuinely love cats.”

About: I’m an attentive, compassionate pet caregiver who genuinely enjoys getting to know each animal’s unique personality and needs. I’m comfortable caring for pets of different ages, sizes, energy levels, and temperaments, and I take pride in creating a safe, calm, and loving environment. I have flexible availability and am happy to accommodate a variety of pet-care schedules and routines. Whether you need a quick drop-in, a daily walk, extended sitting, or care while you’re traveling, I’m happy to work with your schedule whenever possible. I’m committed to being dependable, communicative, and attentive to your pet’s needs. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are my top priorities. I provide attentive, responsible care while following your pet’s routines, feeding instructions, exercise needs, and any special instructions you provide. I’m mindful of their environment and behavior, and I take a calm, patient approach to help pets feel secure and comfortable in my care. I’ll also keep you informed with updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life. I've cared for pets of all sizes: from large malamutes and energetic huskies to cats, rabbits, fish, and even turtles. I have experience with a wide variety of personalities, temperaments, and care needs, and I take pride in following your care instructions exactly as requested. If your pet requires a specialized diet, medication, extra patience, or simply their favorite play routine, I'll make sure they receive the attentive care they deserve. During visits, I'll provide plenty of attention and playtime, keep food and water fresh, clean litter boxes, tidy up any messes, and make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I work from home most days of the week and have a flexible schedule that allows me to take breaks throughout the day to make time for your pet. My goal is to keep your pet's routine as normal as possible and make them safe and reduce stress while you're away. I'll let them take the lead as we get to know each other.

“Shelly was great and I came home to a very happy cat! My sitter plans fell through at the last minute, so I messaged Shelly asking if she could come over for a meet and greet the same night so she could start visiting my cat beginning the following day. I was mainly concerned with my cat getting enough human interaction while I was away. Shelly responded right away and was very prompt for our meeting. She was friendly and my cat felt comfortable w her right away. Shelly visited my cat for the 4 days I was away and I came home to a very happy and content cat. I'll be booking with her again:)”

“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!!”

“Chloe was incredible! From the moment we met Chloe in the meet and greet we could tell she had the right energy to take good care of our beloved cat. We had to find a sitter last minute to travel for a family emergency and Chloe stepped in and was so communicative, sweet with our sometimes nervous cat, and was so respectful of our home; it put us at peace for the entire trip away.”

“Adam was great with our dogs. He was professional, punctual and patient with my Shih Tzu s. I really appreciated the reports and the photos. Anyone that needs a dog walker, I Would highly recommend Adam.”

About: Hi! My name is Phi and I am an animal lover through and through. Growing up my family always has had dogs, including three Havaneses, two Labrador Retrievers, and one Westie/Yorkie mix. I have a background in dogsitting two Maltese puppies that I took care of for six years total, which provided me with experience on administering oral medication. My experience also includes freelance dog walking and sitting with Wag!. One way that I stand out is that I have also volunteered at my local animal shelter and raised awareness for their adoptable dogs. Other than dogs, currently I own three cats ranging in ages 2 through 5, which has given me a soft spot for both cats and dogs alike. I am so excited for the opportunity to meet your pet through Rover and have a fantastic time with them! I currently work a full-time day shift job, which leaves me with time in the mornings, evenings, and weekends to care for your beloved family member. Daily exercise is important to me, which is always made more fun with a furry friend tagging along! I love adventurous walks, trips to the dog park, and cuddles during rest and recovery. Animals are an important and necessary presence in my life, I am committed to make interacting with them a more common occurrence in my schedule. My approach to pet care is founded in the understanding that I have a relationship to build with each animal that I take in or am trusted to care for. These relationships must be founded in trust, love, and understanding for one another. This means that I work to provide comfort and support during things like medication administration, a shoulder to rest a furry head on and cuddle up to, a string toy or ball to encourage playfulness and exercise, and so much more. I treat each animal I care for as if they are my own, ensuring their happiness and wellbeing comes first.

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.

“Annah is so great! She has watched our animals multiple times for us now. She is our go-to! She always takes such great care of them and always goes out of her way to make sure things are perfect. We love the pictures and notes she leaves us every visit. Our animals love her!”

About: I love dogs so much and I know that may sound generic but dogs are so pure and lovable. My love of dogs started with a dog sitting gig that sparked this love and lead me to be a pup parent to Colonel Peanut who passed in 2020. He was a three legged trip that was my ride pr die for 8 years. Since his passing I have leaned into dog walking and dog sitting for others while the grief moves in waves. Point Isabel is one of my favorite places if your pup is an off leasher! Otherwise I love neighborhood walks where we can explore and smell and admire the flowers and discover birds of your area. I have experience with basic training, administering meds, and observing your pup to see what they are telling me they need. I work from home and can be somewhat of a house cat myself if I'm not out for walks with pepperonis. I have a very flexible schedule to fit your pet's needs. I can accommodate last minute booking so please don’t hesitate to reach out. I know what it’s like to be a pet parent so I will treat your pet and home as my own. I will make sure to check all the boxes like refilling water, feedings, sharing snacks and giving medications, or cleaning/refreshing the litter box for kitties.
