“I am beyond impressed with the care that my cat, cookie received from my cat sitter while I was away.

About: Until two years ago I started taking care of furry children, although all my life I have had dogs in my house since I was a child I have learned to take care of them, bathe them and identify their body language I currently work independently through the Lyft app, which allows me to manage my own time. Thanks to this flexibility, I can devote the necessary attention to the care, play and well-being of your dogs during the week. I am available from Monday to Saturday, and on Sundays by appointment, which allows me to organize myself to offer responsible, attentive and constant care. I want to comment that, at the moment, I cannot offer care during the day at home. However, I am available at night, especially for small dogs and cats. In addition, I offer walking service, and I always guarantee a healthy, safe and warm environment, where the puppies will receive attention, care and respect. I am available to coordinate schedules and adapt to the needs of each pet.

About: I’ve taken care of Princess for 12yrs . I grew up with a big family of pet lovers . My home for years have been the one everyone comes to on the weekend to bbq in and ofc all our furry babies are running around. I have a flexible part time job so I am free early mornings and throughout the day to go play with your pets and take them out. I also have a big home and yard if they need to come over to not stay home alone . I have a home with all fenced yard and I no longer have anymore pets , so they are free to roam around in the backyard or if they’re inside dogs they can definitely have in and out access all day to cuddle inside when they want or go get some sun and play. I’m definitely mindful on making sure you feel comfortable with me in your home if needed and would ofc go over to play and take care of your pet in the comfort of their home.

“Angela did an excellent job taking care of my two cats, one of them requiring two pills per day for his GI lymphoma. She even took care of a perishable delivery which came for me while I was gone. I recommend Angela highly.”

“Rawnna is awesome! She took care of our three cats for two weeks, and they seem so happy and well-taken care of! She was totally understanding of my anxiety about having a new person in my house, and sent the best photos of them playing every day. She did a great job and I would definitely hire her again.”

About: Hi, my name is Mecca, and I’ve been around dogs my entire life, with over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for and working with them at my fathers boarding and training facility. I grew up helping train dogs and have also worked in professional dog facilities, so I’m comfortable with pups of all sizes, breeds, and energy levels. Whether your dog is super playful or more shy and relaxed, I know how to make them feel happy, loved, and most importantly, safe while you’re away. I’m located in the Hayward area, conveniently near both airports, which makes drop-offs and pick-ups easy for traveling pet parents. I also live close to a community dog park with a big grassy area where dogs can run, play, and get their zoomies out safely. My home is very dog-friendly, with a spacious backyard covered in artificial turf so your pup won’t come home with muddy paws. There’s always fresh water available and plenty of shaded areas to keep dogs cool and comfortable, especially on warmer days. I keep a clean, calm, and supervised environment so every dog feels right at home. Your dog will get lots of playtime, affection, and personalized care while they’re with me. I treat every dog like my own and will happily send updates, photos, and messages so you always know your pet is in great hands when booking with me! I look forward to meeting you and your pup! I am open most days and have great communication. I will make sure to fit your appointment into my schedule appropriately. Each dog is cared for the same. I have had dogs my whole life and have experience working in a boarding facility so I can cater to your dogs specific needs. I take a dogs health very serious and keep an eye out for any issues.

About: I was once a dog owner before they passed of old age. So I know that each dog has their own personality, quirks, and habits like any family member. After my dog passed, I volunteered at surrounding local shelters to help dogs in need. I have experience giving medications and helping dogs with joint problems thrive. I understand that dogs not only need love, they also require habits and treatments that helps them thrive even if they may not like it. I’m currently in-between jobs, so I have a lot of time to spend with your pet. I’m available Monday through Friday from 11 AM-7:00PM; Saturday-Sunday 4 PM-11:00PM For pet care at a pet guardian’s home, I will follow the instructions on the daily habits of the dog as given by the pet guardian. I will play, observe, feed, and let dogs out for potty. I am also able to give dogs their medications if needed. I will walk dogs usually in the morning and the afternoon. I tend to keep doors and any entry-points locked and closed just in-case a dog is a “runner” or a “wanderer”.

“Katsiaryna is amazing! She is incredibly communicative and easy to work with! She was great with our pups, sent pictures, and when we got back the pups were happy.”

Lauren C.

“Everything was great! Dani was very communicative and our cats instantly loved her. We appreciated all her help and have already booked with her again!”

About: Hello! I’m your pet’s future best friend! I have a deep passion for animals of all kinds. Their loyalty, playful nature, and unique personalities are endlessly inspiring, and I’m excited to meet your pet and see what they’ll teach me! As a lifelong pet parent, I’ve had the pleasure of caring for both dogs and cats. Currently, I’m sharing my home with two indoor cats: one of whom has mastered the fine art of fetching. With years of experience caring for both dogs and cats, I’m happy to offer services including walks, playtime, feeding, and training assistance. I’ll treat your pet like family, and rest assured, their safety and well-being are always my top priority. I’m also flexible with my schedule, so I can easily accommodate your pet’s routine.

If you’re looking for a professional yet warm sitter who’ll treat your pet like their own, don’t hesitate to reach out! NOTE: If your dog isn’t the best at making doggy friends or is a little picky about their pals, let’s save the booking for another time. Only socialized, friendly pups please! Thanks for understanding! I'm an early riser so my availability can be somewhat flexible on weekdays. Weekends as well depending on what services are required and how often. I can provide drop in visits in your home (feeding, playtime, medication, etc) and walking services depending on needs. I typically like to only care for one family at a time so they get the care and attention they need. Feel free to reach out to me at anytime for photos and updates. I know I always worry when leaving my pets so I will do everything I can so you won’t have to. I hold a current certification in Cat and Dog First Aid from the American Red Cross.

About: I love animals. I volunteered at the Oakland SPCA as a pet socializer. My duties included taking the dogs for their walks, playing with them outside and getting a good photo to update the website. Seeing how each dog got excited to go on their walks just made my day! I was also responsible for the cats as well. I grew up with a show doberman pinscher and cats. He was lovable, loyal and such a wonderful pet. We ended up getting a mate for him after he was done with shows. I love dachshund's. They are just adorable. I currently have 2 cats, Marcus Miller and Monet.

“Xander is amazing sitter, cared for my diabetic cat and provided great updates on anything I might need. Very gentle with Simba and I think they got a long well.”

I carefully assess each dog’s temperament and energy level to create well-matched groups, ensuring a positive and stress-free experience.

About: I love playing with dogs! They are so fun to play with. Of course, I do make sure they are well fed and that they’ve gone on their walks. I like to make sure their feeding area is clean so that they don’t pick any germs or parasites and get sick. If they have medication to take, I will happily give it to them without any fear of them potentially biting me or being a bit aggressive. I am available on Mondays until noon, Wednesdays until 1pm, and Fridays from 3pm-8pm. Tuesdays and Saturdays I’m free all day. Sundays I’m not available. I like to ask questions regarding their pets routine, conditions, etc. It helps me get to know more about the owner as well as their companion. I will always make sure their pet feels safe and that they can trust me. I like to greet myself with pets by holding my hand out for them to smell so that I can pet them with their permission.

“Natalia was very easy to work with! She offered a meet-and-greet before our trip and checked in when she had concerns about our dog’s upset tummies. I definitely will book with her again.”

About: While I currently care for 4 adorable rat boys in my home, I have experience with small to medium sized dog and cat care. I've grown up around both dogs and cats and have experience with introductory potty/behavior training and medical care (such as administering medicine and fluids). I have experience with volunteering at animal shelters and have even spent time abroad volunteering to care for street dogs and livestock in India. I'm a Stay-at-home-parent who is trying to transition back into working outside the home now that my child is regularly attending school. I work freelance from home and am hoping to fill in the gaps in my day by meeting and caring for some new furry friends! I am happy to feed and bathe pets, take them for walks, engage them with play time and even do some gentle training during my brief visits. I am comfortable playing with them inside your home or outside.
