Pet Sitting & Drop Ins in Merriwood, Oakland

“Malia was an absolute rockstar. Our kitties are usually pretty wary of new sitters but they warmed up to her right away. She was prompt and sent the cutest pics!”

“This is the second time Celeste has helped us with insulin for our dog. Celeste is great! She was on time and great with our dog. We highly recommend her!”

“Madeline was fantastic with my dear old dog. The photos she sent during her time taking care of him were very thoughtful. He was very relaxed when I returned home, clear evidence that he was well cared for.”

“Zsa Zsa was absolutely wonderful and went above and beyond to care for Dinka. The visits were during a period of high heat and she conscientiously checked the temperature each day to make sure the home didn’t get too hot for my cat. She is kind and patient with cats, and very communicative and responsible. I highly recommend her as a catsitter!”

“I’m so glad I found Christine. I needed a drop-in visit for my senior dog who is incontinent and needed a diaper change mid-day. She changed his diaper, gave him a snack and gave him, and my 2 cats some affection. She’ll be the first person I contact if I need help again.”

“I appreciated the detailed, but brief, updates from Natalie, as well as multiple pictures. Natalie was patient and kind with our cat who can be a bit skittish. Came home to a happy kitty. Thanks Natalie!”

“We have had Shanley come over for drop in visits regularly over the last few weeks. She has been wonderful with Misty, trusted, respectful and communicative. Her first visit, we had a bit of a snafu (completely our fault), and she handled it with grace and calmness (she was way more calm than me and I appreciated that!). We are so thankful we found her and we welcome her to “Team Misty!””

About: My husband & I have been raised with pets our entire lives. We are proud to say that we’re experienced and extremely responsible animal lovers who believe pets are our kids……so much so that our vets said we are one of the best pet owners they’ve encountered and love to be our “kids” in their next lives. 🤣 We focus on quality care, love & positive energy over anything else. As loving pet parents, we understand it’s a huge decision when you have to leave your fur babies in strangers' hands. Rest assured we hold up to our words, we’ll love and care for them just like our own! Our goal is to always put ourselves in your shoes and their paws😆 and provide the best-pampered care for your babies and peace of mind while you’re away. We are perfect for babies with separation anxiety as we are home 24/7. He/She will NEVER be left alone & treated like a number! His/Her safety and comfort are our TOP TOP TOP priority when staying with us, we PROMISE. We're generally flexible with drop off/pick up time. We believe communication & mutual respect are key factors to any positive relationships. 😊. We also offer hourly daycare @ $25/hour(Minimum 2 hours), Include a note along with pick up/drop off time, and we'll make any credit adjustment accordingly. Our backyard is securely fenced with ample green lawn and play area, so there are plenty of outdoor opportunities for fully supervised playtime to keep your little ones active & happy. The interior is padded with floor mats for comfort, slip & fall prevention. We also have a separate ground floor guest quarter that’s perfect for cat(s) or pup(s) who do not care to interact with other animals as we do have the sweetest senior rescue, Augustina🐶. She likes all new friends but minds her own business most of the time😆. Given that said, your pup(s) must be human friendly.😅.

“Can say enough about Ruby and her love for my two dachshunds. She has spent the night a number of times over the past two years and has taken excellent care of them. They are always excited to see her. She always sends wonderful pictures and texts to keep me up to date on how they are doing. She also walks and feeds them when I am out of town for the day. She is lovely to work with.”

“Sandra has a genuine passion for animals, and it shows! Her calm and caring demeanor puts my easily flustered poodle at ease, and even my finicky cat warms up to her.”

“Sophie is lovely, and communication was great!”

“Elena is such a pleasure to work with! She popped in to look after our sweet kitties, while we were out of town for a week and kept us posted on their activities through pictures and texts. She’s easy going, friendly, capable, professional…knew our fur babies were in good hands. We will definitely ask her to care for them in the future!”

“Ares has always been the one who has taken care of my two dogs. He has always helped me through difficult seasons and on my vacations.”

“She’s awesome with our energetic GSP puppy! She took her for a good hike to burn off energy and did some sniff training with her, hiding treats in the snow, etc. It’s hard to wear our out pup because she has endless energy but Ariele did a great job! Will definitely book again on a regular basis.”

“Chris is an experienced and caring dog walker & sitter. He has taken care of my Boykin spaniel, Max, on numerous occasions and always ensures that Max is well taken care of. Chris is very attentive and responsive to any needs my old man Max (13 years old but still very energetic!) has and he makes sure that Max is comfortable at all times. Chris is also very reliable and always arrives on time. He is trustworthy and we have never Had any issues with him. I highly recommend Chris for anyone looking for a dog walker! :)”

“Ainsley was very accommodating to our dog Benny. Sometimes I get called last minute to pack up and head out of town for my meetings, and Ainsley was always quick to respond in a timely manner. Often times it seems like Benny doesn't want him to leave, so that has been quite reassuring.”

“Jarrett is an animal whisperer! Even with the most skittish cats and most excitable puppies, Jarrett keeps a calm and relaxed demeanor that makes animals love him. He will take great care of your animals and show them lots of love and affection. Highly recommend!”

“Alexis was so sweet and attentive with our cats! We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter!”

“Chrystal is amazing with both people and pets. She has taken wonderful care of our beloved dog many times, and is one of the most trustworthy and kind people I know. Highly recommended!”

“Hi! I have four animals, 3 dogs, 2 poodles, a Great Dane , and Siberian cat. We moved to the Bay Area about 2 years ago and I travel a lot as a celebrity hairstylist for weeks at a time. My wife works as a EMT which often leaves our babies needing love and patience especially because Skittles, one of our poodles, has a strict diet. Jena was also present when Cookie gave birth to 5 five baby Great Danes which was our first birth and we were so grateful to have her support! I highly recommend Jena! She's kept our dogs clean, healthy, and active. :) -Lyric W.”
