“Cara was so caring, responsive, and also very responsible. I was initially worried about leaving my cat for two weeks but I left him in very good hands with Cara. I especially appreciated all the photos she sent and the little daily updates! My cat loved her. I was able to relax knowing that I had a very sweet and reliable sitter.”

About: I am experienced in providing gentle, including walks to the parks and beaches, while maintaining a calm and comfortable environment inside home and outside home. My job requires me a peculiar freedom to have a flexible schedule. I am morning person and love going in evening strolls regardless of sorting setting. In my home, I create a fun and safe space for pets, with cozy spots to relax, play, and eat. They get fresh water, regular walks, and all the love and attention they could ask for! I stick to their routine to keep them happy and stress-free. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I make sure they feel right at home, following their usual routine. From daily walks and playtime to feeding and cuddles, I keep everything tidy and comfy. I want them to feel relaxed and loved while their owner’s away!

About: i’ve been a dog mom for 20+ years and have basically had dogs my whole life. i trained my own dog from puppyhood and i’ve helped friends (and other pet parents) with basic training and routine stuff too. i’ve taken multiple training classes, so i’m comfortable with things like leash manners, boundaries, and reinforcing good behavior in a calm, consistent way. i’m naturally really good with dogs and i’m great at reading their body language, even the ones that are anxious, reactive, or “don’t usually like people.” i’m patient, confident, and i keep things low-stress so pups feel safe and listened to. i work from home, so i’ve got plenty of time to give your pup real attention throughout the day (not just quick check-ins). i’m happy to do multiple walks a day, and since i’m near downtown oakland, we’ve got plenty of great walk routes, lake merritt, nearby parks, and lots of good “sniffari” streets. in my home, your pup gets a safe, relaxed setup with lots of attention. i have a fenced patio so they can hang in the sun and get fresh air, and inside they’ll have plenty of room to stretch out, lounge, and roam comfortably. we’ve also got nearby open spaces, fields, and trails for walks and play. depending on your dog and what you’re comfortable with, i can do off-leash play (only where it’s safe/appropriate) or keep everything leashed, solo adventures or playtime with my dogs if your pup enjoys company. i’m big on following your routine and keeping things consistent: feeding schedules, meds, crate time, training cues, slow introductions, whatever your dog needs. i’m totally comfortable with seniors, shy/anxious pups, and dogs with special instructions. and if your dog would do best with more backyard time, i can also utilize my girlfriend’s place nearby with a fully fenced backyard for extra outdoor play/sniff time (with your permission).

About: Hello! I am a lifelong dog owner, walker, and sitter. I have been dog-sitting/walking for 18 years. I raised my beloved Rottweiler from 3 months old until she passed at age 12, so I have experience with puppies and senior dogs. I have administered insulin injections to dogs and cats, as well as oral and topical medications. I have worked with a range of temperaments and quirks. Most importantly, dogs bring me so much joy and taking care of them is fulfilling. I work from home 4 days/week with one day in the office. Right now I am in the office on Thursdays. I live with my sweet, patient dog named Donut. I take her on regular walks throughout the day, as well as weekly trips to dog parks, hiking trails, Aquatic Park, Point Isabel, Fort Funston, and more. I’d be happy to bring your pup on adventures, if they’re able. I have a narrow, fenced, side-yard, and take walks in the neighborhood behind my home. If you and your pup approve, we can drive to the dog beach or other cool spots. My apartment is two stories, and there are about 5 steps to get into it from outside. I have large crate I can set up if needed. I take care of other’s pets like my own, with love and attention to their needs.

About: Hi! My name is Eunice and I absolutely love dogs. I’ve had dogs almost all of my life since I was 5 years old. I work part time but will be home full time for all school and national holidays. I truly enjoy meeting fur babies and spending a majority of my time with them. My mom will be home while I’m working so your pup will never feel uncared for or not given enough affection. I am communicative, reliable, responsible, and loving. I sometimes love animals more than humans and treat clients like my own. I live with one other senior pup 🐶, 1 chicken 🐓, 1 turtle 🐢, and 6 goldfish 🐠. Dogs have always been a part of the family and need to be treated with care, love, and respect. Seeing dogs in public always makes me happy and want to pet them! Your dog will be pampered, well cared for and given lots of love ❤️ I also have extra doggie beds. I have a fenced backyard they can explore in. They will he walked 2-3 times a day and fed scrambled eggs and chicken liver joint treats (from amazon) if permitted ** Please note: I am only accepting dogs who are on flea medication. If not, please ask your vet to put your baby on flea treatment (Bella is on Frontline with inactive fleas) **Please make sure to bring enough supplies like environmentally friends doggy bags and anything else that will ensure comfort for their stay. Thank you for reading and hope to meet you soon! Your fur baby will he walked 2-3 times a day. Morning and evening walk and maybe midday if needed. They will be fed according to their feeding schedule. I have a fenced backyard. Even if the owner says their babe can go off leash, I never let them go off leash for safety reasons unless in a fenced area.

“Korin was amazing with our dogs. They can be a little hesitant of strangers when they first come but she did an amazing job adapting to their personality and caring for them. Will book again!”

“Adam was a great pet sitter for our cat, Smokey. We will definitely try to use him for future trips. He clearly loves pets and he is an excellent communicator and we love the pictures that he sent”

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.

About: Dogs are my favorite animal, I may even like them more than people. I have had and taken care of dogs my whole life. Around five years ago I fostered dogs for around a year, eventually adopting one. During this time I gained significant experience with puppies and house training. I have around 2 years of volunteer experience at a nonprofit vaccination clinic in the Bay Area where I hung out with, held and vaccinated hundreds of dogs. Off and on for the past two years I have walked and boarded dogs as well as house and dog sat. I cannot wait to meet your pup! I am a college student currently on summer vacation at home in the Bay Area. I have plenty of time and would love to spend it with your dog! I have a fenced back yard with plenty of room to play and two small dogs who would love to pay. I live in a walkable neighborhood with hiking trails near by. For a small to medium sized dog I am able to crate if needed. I would love to snuggle with your pup for hours or play all day.

About: I've been blessed to be around dogs my entire life, but my life didn't start until my pup Sancho came into this world and picked me to be his best friend. I'm very apt to the needs of any pup in my care and look forward to meeting your pup. I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to spend quality time with your pup and a large fenced in yard so they can enjoy some sun. My home offers a large fenced in backyard with plenty of space for your fur baby to frolic. When sitting in your home, I'm very adaptable to your pups day to day, I find this helps ease their mind while their parent/s are away.

“Kristi is amazing... My four doggos absolutely adored her! She was willing to come to my home last minute for a meet and greet and drop in on the weekend to check on them. Kristi has a special way with animals and is very caring. I received live updates and photos during her visit which left me feeling relieved knowing they were in good hands. 10 stars. I highly recommend her for your pets needs:)”

“Kennia was great! She was very communicative and sent photos/videos whenever she checked in on my cat twice a day. He's usually pretty shy but he warmed up to her very quickly!”

About: I am a genuine animal lover - especially dogs - and I will care for your pets as if they were my own precious beings. I am very responsible and will be a reliable source of company and support for your pet while you're unavailable. I have been around dogs and cats throughout my childhood and adulthood and I truly enjoy spending time with them - exercising, playing, affection, tummy rubs - these are some of the many ways to keep your pet engaged and happy. I also understand the important need for BOTH unconditional love and boundaries - I can use basic behavioral techniques to help train your dog. I look forward to meeting you and your sweet pet and to being a helpful presence in both of your lives. When I'm home and open for pet-sitting, I don't have any other commitments, other than to take care of your pet. I'll rarely leave them for more than a couple of hours at a time. I don't care for pets in my own home - I only do pet sitting (and house sitting) in someone else's home space - which I think is great for the pet!

“Christine has been a wonderful sitter; she’s very tuned into my two cats’ emotional states, and very communicative with me about how they’re faring. One of my boys can be pretty shy around new people, especially if his mommy isn’t around, but he was immediately receptive to her! I’m grateful to feel so at ease when traveling, thanks to her help :)”
