Pet care experience
ABOUT ME - Pet Sitting INSTAGRAM: @flannerypetsits - FLEXIBLE RATES, just ask =) - UC BERKELEY Alumn from LA living in the Bay since 2013. - I WORK REMOTELY & am a PERFORMING ARTIST. While I'm not ready for a pet of my own, I LOVE taking care of yours! - My wonderful PARTNER, THOMAS, (seen in the first picture being licked to death by a puppy) loves to help out as well if that works for you and your pet too. ABOUT PETS - I've grown up with dogs and cats of all ages and sizes! - From playful PUPS to serene SENIORS, special needs KITTIES, and animals with AGGRESSION, your favorite furry friend will be taken care of with (almost) as much love as you. - Yes, I LOVE PITBULLS, GERMAN SHEPERDS etc. It is about the LOVE & NURTURE an animal receives & whether they have experienced trauma or abuse NOT just their BREED (aka "breedism"). - I've trained dogs using ABA (Applied Behavioral Analysis) and am not shy to any jumpers or dogs who haven't (yet) made friends with other canines. - I even taught one of my dogs commands in Spanish so I could have him be a "bilingual baby".
Reviews
Flannery did a really great job with our two dogs + cat housesitting. She set up a meet and greet beforehand and I could immediately tell during that she had excellent grasp of dog body language and manners. Our dogs chummed up to her right away. On the actual trip, no hiccups and I came home to relaxed, sleepy dogs. What else could I ask for? She also sent multiple videos of the dogs throughout the weekend. I will book her again if availability lines up.
Flannery was an amazing pet and house sitter. She took great care of the house and pets and sent great photos and videos. We look forward to using her again in the future!
I hired Flannery to take my fur baby for a walk on 2 long work days. My dog isn’t the best with strangers so we arranged a meet & greet and I knew instantly that Flannery would be a great fit. Her and my shy pup hit it off. She was warm and kind and patient, but better yet, responded to my dog’s behavior by trying to understand her psychology and adjusted her treatment accordingly. I will def book Flannery again. She’s just generally a wonderful human to be around and I’m grateful my dog has a new loving friend that I can trust.
We cannot say enough good things about Flannery. She watched our pup this past weekend for two nights at our home, and she made us feel so incredibly comfortable. Our pup can be a challenge to warm up and has some fear and reactivity. Flannery was so incredibly patient and loving and kept us updated throughout our time away so we could rest assured that she was being well taken care of. Flannery not only took amazing care of our pup, but she also worked to help her move through her nerves! We are so grateful and can't recommend her enough!

DOGGIE DAYCARE (when your pet spends the day in my home) - As a very active human living in the Oakland Hills your pet will have access to nature, hikes, and anything else that makes their tail wag. - My sweet partner, Thomas, and I have plenty of open space for your cuddle buddy to make themselves at home, along with a fenced-in patio, and a front door opening up onto a walking path among beautiful trees plus a great view! - Your pup will have plenty of fresh air in a calm and quiet environment, and of course, I am only a short walk or car ride away to dog parks and hikes if that's what your pup prefers.

Availability
- I have a flexible schedule so your pet is my priority! - While I have my activities and other commitments (theater, dance, friendships, getting groceries etc.), my goal is for your favorite furball to feel as loved and connected as possible while you're away. - I strive to be with the babies as long as possible. Whether I'm working on the computer at home, walking in the neighborhood, and taking us both out for some fresh nature air. - I'll usually be gone an average of 2-4 hours (depending on the day) and make sure that they feel loved and cared for before I leave and as soon I come back to them.
