Pet Sitting Moraga

About: Dogs are a true source of happiness for me and hold a very special place in my heart. I love life, nature, and all living beings, but I have always shared an especially deep connection with dogs. Dogs tend to feel comfortable with me very quickly. I bring a warm, playful energy while also providing the calm guidance, patience, and consistency that help them feel safe and relaxed. Some of my greatest teachers have been the dogs who have shared their lives with me: Alaska, Toby, Polly, and now my beloved Siberian Husky, Coquito, whom I rescued from the streets of Mexico. Each one has taught me something different about trust, loyalty, patience, resilience, and unconditional love. They were never simply dogs in my life—I became part of their stories, just as they became an important part of mine. I also independently created and ran a small dog rescue in Mexico. While working a regular job, I dedicated the rest of my time—and much of my personal income—to helping dogs living on the streets. Without sponsors or outside financial support, I provided rescued dogs with food, veterinary treatment, vaccinations, spaying and neutering, companionship, and, above all, genuine love. I still treasure many photos of the dogs I rescued and cared for throughout that chapter of my life. Over the years, I have also become someone dog owners trust when they have questions about everyday care or canine behavior. Friends, acquaintances, and even people in Mexico continue to reach out to me because they know how much experience I have with dogs and feel comfortable asking for my perspective. These experiences have taught me how to understand and care for dogs with different personalities, histories, and needs. I deeply respect each dog’s individual nature and believe every one of them deserves to feel protected, understood, and loved. When your pup is with me, they will never be treated as simply another booking. I feel completely confident in the care I can offer because being deeply devoted to dogs—caring for them, protecting them, and sharing my time with them—is an essential part of who I am. This is not simply a service I provide; it is one of the greatest joys and deepest motivations of my life. I will follow your dog’s normal routine, give them attentive and personalized care, keep you updated with photos, and treat them with patience, responsibility, playfulness, and wholehearted love. My goal is for you to feel completely at ease—and for your dog to feel safe, understood, happy, deeply valued, and truly at home. I’m available for dog walks Monday through Friday after 6:00 p.m. On weekends, I can also welcome dogs into my home for overnight stays on Friday and Saturday, with pickup on Sunday. I genuinely enjoy spending my weekends with dogs—taking them on walks, playing with them, and giving them plenty of companionship, attention, and affection throughout their stay. I care for furry guests in my apartment, where I live with my 44-pound husky, Coquito. My home is clean, comfortable, and well-lit, and it has a balcony with a high, secure railing for safety. My furry guests always have access to fresh water and are fed according to their usual schedule and their family’s instructions. I give them plenty of attention, affection, playtime, and companionship so every pup feels safe, included, and cared for as part of the family.

“Had the pleasure of having Lucy watch our pups this past weekend for the first time and she was amazing! The dogs adored her and she took such great care of them during her visits and followed all instructions. She sent us pictures of the pups which made us feel even more at ease. We will definitely rebook with her again. Thank you, Lucy! 🙏🏼 🐶”

“Melissa is a wonderful sitter! I could tell Poppy was happy when I got home. Melissa was communicative, careful, pleasant, and took lovely pictures. I would invite her to sit again any time!!”

“Jazmine was excellent with my cat! I felt completely at ease while traveling, knowing my cat was well cared for. I loved the photo updates, too. I will be asking Jazmine to look after Maya again ☺️”

Esther C.

“My fur babies loved Maya. She was great with them. Played with them, brushed the Maltipoo (whose fur tends to get tangled easily), cleaned up some accidents they had. They loved her from the first meet & greet! I have already booked Maya for my fur babies and will look forward to having her sit my pets in future too!!”

“Megan did such an amazing job taking care of our pup for us. It is obvious that she LOVES dogs, and our dog LOVED her. She sent us lots of pictures and videos and went completely above and beyond what was expected. We are so grateful and will definitely ask Megan to take care of our pup again, especially since I’m pretty sure our dog misses her already. Thank you so much, Megan!”

Kelly S.

“Elyse took care of my two kittens for just under two weeks and did an amazing job. She was super reliable and communicative. The kittens seemed healthy, happy and relaxed when I got home, so it was obvious they were in good hands. Would definitely request for her help again in the future.”

Mackenzie O.

“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!”

“Angelique is the BEST!!! I have an elderly 14 year old Pitmix with high dietary supplement and high care needs. My character-judgung do g took to ger instantly with her loving animal vibe. She was loving, patient and took pics with sweet notes to settle any of my anxiousness about leaving her. She also took amazing care of my shy cat and my mouse. And she did small chores for a minimal fee. Angelique is dependable and when I got home I was so impressed on how she maintained my home and furbabies.

About: I've been walking and taking care of animals since I was 16 years old and I have two dogs and one cat of my own that I take care of! Having animals around makes me happier :) I currently work full time but after work I love going for walks so what better way to do that is with walking a dog! I'm available to walk dogs on weekdays. I have a front yard that has a gate. I will feed and walk your animal at your suggested times, and whatever may else your animal needs as well as show them the proper amount of love when they are in my care.

About: I have spent my entire life around dogs, both caring for them as my own pets and doing paid dog-sitting. I have extensive experience with both small and large dogs. I have been in charge of bathing, walking, administering medication, and general playtime for a variety of pooches, and feel comfortable navigating dispositions ranging from quiet and timid to outgoing and rambunctious. I truly love all animals and cannot wait to meet yours! I am currently in between jobs, so I have lots of flexibility for pet care. Once a month, I am out of town Friday-Sunday, but otherwise I am open. I only plan to care for pets in clients' homes, not my own. I am very conscientious of safety and take every possible precaution in order to respect clients' homes and belongings, and of course ensure the safety of their pets.

“Matthew was an amazing cat sitter for us. He communicated well and would send us daily updates about the cats. He gave them meds and even emptied the litter! He spent extra time with them playing and making sure they got everything they needed. Our house was just as spotless as when we left town. Would highly recommend.”

Jacob D.

“Asuka is amazing! I received daily texts/photos and concerns re: our pups and home while we were gone. I can definitely trust that my pups are well taken care of with Asuka!”

“She was sweet with my kitty. Would definitely rebook.”

About: I work from home, which means your pet gets something most sitters can't offer: a human who's actually there all day. I do house sitting in your home and drop-in visits across Walnut Creek and nearby areas. I grew up with dogs and cats, have helped friends and family with everything from puppies to senior dogs, and recently welcomed a cat into my own home. I'm comfortable with feeding routines, walks, playtime, and giving medication exactly as you instruct — including pets with special routines or medical needs. Before we start, I'll learn your pet's habits and preferences so the routine doesn't skip a beat. While you're away, you'll get regular photo updates so you can see they're relaxed and happy. I work from home with a fully flexible schedule, so pet care fits around your pet's routine — not the other way around. For house sitting, I'm there through the day and overnight; for drop-ins, we'll lock in visit times before booking so feeding and walks stay consistent. Your home and your pet's routine stay exactly as you left them. Before we start, we'll do a meet-and-greet to cover temperament, medications, feeding, quirks, and emergency contacts. I'm background-checked through Rover, and I'll send photo updates and messages so you're never wondering how they're doing.

About: I’m a longtime pet owner and genuinely enjoy being around animals. Having cared for my own dogs and cats over the years, I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I’m patient, dependable, and attentive, and I’ll treat your pets with the same care and respect I give my own. My goal is to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. I currently work part-time in childcare, which gives me flexibility to provide pet care throughout the week. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting around my work schedule, including mornings, evenings, and weekends. I’m dependable and happy to work with you to find a schedule that fits your pet’s routine. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to keep their normal routine consistent and comfortable. I carefully follow feeding, walking, medication, and care instructions, while making sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. I’m respectful of your home, dependable, and will keep you updated so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.
