Pet Sitting Lakewide

About: My sister and I currently care for one dog and two cats, so I'm experienced with the daily routines that keep pets happy and healthy. From walks, feeding, and playtime to cleaning litter boxes and making sure everyone gets plenty of attention, I understand that every pet has unique needs and personalities. I'm patient, dependable, and attentive, and I'll care for your pets the same way I care for my own. Whether it's a long walk, drop-in visit, or overnight house sitting, I'll make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I also know how important communication is, so I'll keep you updated with photos and messages throughout each visit for added peace of mind. I'm currently freelancing, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to accommodate a wide range of pet care needs. Whether you need weekday walks, weekend drop-in visits, or overnight house sitting, I'm happy to work around your schedule and provide dependable care whenever you need it. For every visit, I'll treat both your pet and your home with the utmost respect. I'll keep your home clean and secure, provide regular updates with photos and messages, and make sure you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to give you peace of mind while ensuring your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for.

About: *I only board dogs from one home at a time* I love to jog around Lake Merritt, and I'd be happy to take your fur baby along for a run! I've cared for dogs and cats, healthy and sick, with very specific dietary restrictions and activity needs. I wish I could have my own pet, but since I travel pretty often, this is the next best thing. :-) I’m a Product Manager with a hybrid work schedule. Rest assured, I can easily get from work to home on in-office days for walks/drop-ins if needed. I also work at a dog friendly office. I am available most days for drop-ins 2x/day. On weekday evenings, I typically go on runs (with/without dogs!). Expect many photos of your fur baby while you're away! I'm happy to drop in to check on food, water, litter (for cats), and take your pup on walks. I am very detail oriented, so if you have very particular instructions regarding diet or preferences while outside, you can trust me to follow them. For boarding, I have bowls for water and food as well as doggy waste bags. You would need to provide their food, treats, toys, (litter for kitties), and anything else to make their stay more comfortable!

“So lovely and patient with our nervous German Shepherd. Chloe did a meet and greet before her visits which was a wonderful way for our dog to meet her and made us a lot more comfortable. Would highly recommend!”

“I was super stressed about finding a sitter for my 11 week old pup last minute for an all day training at work, and even more nervous about having a stranger visit my place! But Alejandra had fantastic reviews and even initiated meet & greet, which I really appreciated. And when she came to meet me and MoMo - boy, did my puppy LOVE her immediately, which made ME love her too!! :) Finally, on the day of the appointment, Alejandra showed up on time, followed all my requests, and took such good care of my puppy for an hour. TYSM Alejandra, I will book with you again next time MoMo needs a sitter!! ❤️❤️❤️”

“Jessica had great communication from our initial booking request and through the whole sit. I could tell my cat Mystery was in good hands! I will definitely book again. Thanks Jessica!”

“Jesse was so kind to accommodate for my last minute booking. He made sure my pup was taken care of and is a very considerate sitter! Appreciate the regular updates and flexibility. Will definitely recommend him for any future bookings.”

“Jay did a fantastic job watching over my kitty when I was away! I felt my little one was in great hands, and I looked forward to every day's update because they were filled with fun pictures and tidbits!”

“Stephanie did an incredible job watching my cat! She provided lots of pictures, videos and detailed updates every day. She was also super helpful grabbing packages, watering house plants and dealing with an unexpected ant issue. Truly so grateful! I strongly recommend her for any pet care you may require.”

About: I will treat your fur baby with tender, loving care. Your animal or animals will always be safe and comfortable under my care and supervision. I'm currently working part-time and semi-retired, so I will have plenty of time and flexibility to help with your animal care needs. Let me know how I can help! I will be very clean and respectful while in any client's home and treat your home and your pets as if they were my own.

“Kevin took good care of our cat, playing with her and following all care instructions. He sent pictures and informative updates. We would trust him with our cat again!”

About: I have a flexible schedule and am booking dog walks and drop-ins! I can accommodate for whether your dog likes more activity or needs a quiet and calm environment. I have experience dealing with dogs and other animals with anxiety and other medical or physical needs. I work from home at my own pace so I can accommodate different needs! Ideally, pet guests can be left at home alone for about an hour for errands and other events that come up. Please provide a crate if your dog cannot be left alone for over an hour. My home is responsible and dog safe with gates to prevent access to the kitchen. My yard is not fenced but I always keep dogs leashed.

“Emilia-Laura did a great job through and through! She communicated really well before and during the sit, and got along great with my cat. My kitty is pretty shy but from the meet and greet I could already tell they were vibing :) I came back from my trip to a happy cat and house in order! Thanks again Emilia-Laura!”

Lou G.

“Fuliang did a great job. I felt my cat Alba was well cared for. I got a nice detailed report on the last day. Could have used a picture of my cat everyday but otherwise I am a very satisfied customer and will use this sitter again for my pet sitting needs.”

Rachel O.

“Cyvanah was so attentive and experienced with our rambunctious (difficult) cat and our shy, timid cat. We appreciated the daily pictures, messages and updates on their daily shenanigans. She was very communicative and when she couldn’t find our shy cat Mina, she made sure to call us to check other hiding spots, which was thoughtful. Would highly recommend Cyvannah to others - you will be in trusted hands!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs & cats of all sizes for several years, and I look forward to helping you & your furry family members next! Whether it be 1:1 walks, positive reinforcement training, or simply providing your animal with a companion while you’re away, I’m here to help out! I am able to work from home most days. In fact, I am only in the office one day each week. So, this allows me to have lots of time to host your pet for boarding OR to do check-ins as needed. So, let me know how I can best help out! I am a huge proponent of safety in and around my home. As such, I always make sure the environment is free of choking hazards or items that could get a pet into trouble. I also make sure that I am up to date on preventative cleaning and care for animals.

About: $40 promo code for new Rover bookings. I'm new to Rover, but not new to animal care. I've trained my rescue dog Storm, using positive reinforcement methods, to be my service dog. He has a therapeutic effect on nervous dogs, and has helped socialize many cats to become dog lovers. I've been a part of many dogs training protocols, and am now exploring becoming a trainer myself! Take advantage of my low fees while I build my profile. I keep your little buddies entertained in ways that meet them at their level, whether it's long hikes, lazing in some grass, or playing with toys at home. I'm here to make you and your furry friend feel comfortable. ***Bonus*** you'll get some adorable pet pics whenever they stay in my care! I work from home most days, so I'm available to be a companion to your pet right off the bat! My work breaks are spent playing, training, and giving out treats! We like a house full of enrichment activities, with plenty of time for naps and cuddles in between. I have a 2br apartment that offers plenty of communal or private lounge space. It's been useful for boarding multiple animals, seperating eating as needed, quarantining for medical reasons, or just offering a shy animal their own quiet space. There are steps to my apartment and it's helpful if your dog is comfortable with stairs, or is 15lbs or under and can be carried. I live in a low traffic quiet neighborhood near a lot of parks and pretty outdoor spaces for walks. And there is some great bird and squirrel watching from the balcony doors.

About: As a lifelong animal lover with over 20 years of experience caring for my own dogs and cats, as well as pets of friends and acquaintances, I treat every animal as if they were my own—with warmth, patience, and genuine affection. Pet owners know they can count on me for dependable, trustworthy care, whether it’s a daily visit or an extended stay. I take pride in building strong bonds with both pets and their people, offering peace of mind through consistent communication, attention to detail, and a deep commitment to each animal’s comfort and happiness. Now semi-retired and working part-time, I have the time and flexibility to give your pets the attention they deserve—whether it's for quick check-ins or extended stays, I'm here to provide loving, reliable care. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I focus on creating a calm, loving, and stress-free environment. In my clean, safe, and secure apartment, pets receive plenty of attention, playtime, and affection, with routines tailored to their needs. When visiting a client’s home, I maintain their pet’s familiar routine, ensuring comfort and consistency with feeding, walks, and companionship. My goal is always to provide reliable, nurturing care that gives both pets and their people peace of mind.

“Ashley was absolutely amazing!!! She took the best care of my baby boy, Haku, while I was away and went above and beyond to ensure he was loved and cared for. 🥰 She cared and played with him like her own and it definitely eased my mind knowing she was so attentive. Even when my timed feeder malfunctioned she came within the hour (and early) to check on him and helped me troubleshoot the issue. (Thank you again!!) She even left him a little present of toys and some treats in a goody bag as a departing gift! I can’t recommend her enough to watch your little one while you are away. I’ll definitely be asking her again to check on my little love when needed. 🤗❤️”
