“Matt was excellent with our dog. Promote and punctual. The pictures should how much fun she was having with him. I would highly recommend Matt.”
“Matt was great! He came and met us the day before our walk/drop in, it was nice knowing he would know exactly where everything was and what to do. During the drop in he sent updates and pics! We will use him again. Thank you again, Matt!”
“Alexandria is incredibly professional, accommodating, and kind. She's a pleasure to work with and our somewhat picky dog took to her right away!”
“Stephanie has been so great with my dog Maya. After starting a new job and moving to a new city, I didn’t have any support to help with my dog. Stephanie has been so helpful with all these changes. Maya can be a bit nervous around new people but she warmed up to Stephanie really fast and gets so excited to see her! Stephanie is so great- she is a very reliable person, trustworthy, a great communicator and great with dogs. I’m so happy I found her and that Maya really enjoys her company!”
“Megan has been doing an amazing job with weekday walks for our young pup. She is always responsive, on time, and communicates important information. I love seeing the report cards with a picture of our pup and her notes about their walk. I highly recommend her services!”
“Natalie was great! She was on time and our dog warmed up to her quickly.”
About: For three years I’ve lived in a home with two Rhodesian Ridgebacks. One is a senior at 12 years old and the other is still in his adolescent phase at 2 1/2. I’ve learned how to adapt to their different needs based on age and personality while setting boundaries and aligning to my Housemate’s desires for their care. (Which has helped me get to know new dogs pretty quickly.) We walk, play and cuddle. When needed I administer medication, feed them, and sometimes cook for them. I look forward to chatting with you about your family’s needs. I am available: 12-2pm Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday. Evenings Monday-Friday. Most weekends are open. I am also available for some overnights, which can be discussed. I am available to spend time with your pet(s) in their home where they will be the most comfortable. I’ll come to you for walks.
“Christina was amazing. She was really responsive since the begining and kept us updated through the pet/house sitting and drop ins. Even our shyest dog took we'll to her. Definitely booking with her in the future.”
“Ananda was amazing - she was really helpful coordinating dates/times, she stopped by early to meet my dog, and she was lovely about keeping me updated with everything! I think she’d be a great sitter or walker that I’d recommend to anyone”
“Spirit is an AMAZING dog walker! They took good care of my dog Pumba and took her to Lake Merritt most days which is Pumba’s favorite place to walk! Spirit was great about sending really sweet updates and pictures every day. They also fed Pumba breakfast before her walks which was much appreciated! I will definitely be booking with Spirit again ?”
“Chris and Krby were fast friends The walks in our neighborhood were different each day mixing things up and each was accompanied by really great photos. Chris has a really positive energy and clearly loves taking care of dogs! He's earned the top spot on our caretaker list.”
About: I’m a lifelong pet lover with hands-on experience across all life stages and special needs: Raised cats & dogs: I’ve brought up multiple kittens and puppies in my own home, so I know how to guide them through every developmental milestone. Medication management: I’m comfortable administering meds—pills or liquids—to both cats and dogs, including seniors who need extra TLC. Training background: I’ve trained my dogs to master fun tricks and even specific tasks for their health, and I’ve helped friends’ pups learn basic commands too. All-ages care: From playful young pets to gentle senior companions, I adapt my approach to keep them safe, happy, and engaged. Active companion: Whether your dog loves long neighborhood walks, easy hikes on nearby trails, or just chasing a ball at the park, I’ll make sure they get plenty of exercise and enrichment. Trusted by friends & family: Friends and family trust me time and time again with their pets, confident in my reliability and genuine affection. Your furry family members will get personalized, compassionate care—tailored exercise, medication support, and enrichment—every time I’m with them. My own two friendly dogs and sociable cat are great with furry friends, so I know how to introduce and manage multi-pet households. I’m a full-time online student, so I’ll have plenty of time to care for your pets! I’m available for boarding on weekends and weekday visits morning, afternoon, or evening—whenever you need. In my home, I care for pets in a calm, clean apartment alongside my two friendly dogs and cat. I supervise indoor play and follow your care guidelines exactly. I stick to your feeding, walking, playtime, and safety routines so your pet feels secure and happy.

About: I have always been a natural when it comes to animals and have been caring for them since I was very young. I have one fur-baby of my own, and will always treat your fur-baby as if they were mine. I am very respectful of both humans and animals when it comes to care. I am experienced in giving medication, grooming, and enforcing training (ie. no pulling on the leash, no jumping, dog reactivity, ect.) I am very experienced in powerful, reactive dogs - so if your pup requires that extra care and attention on walks, have no fear, as I am always in control when it comes to walking your dog. I work remote for my job which allows me great flexibility with my schedule. I am available throughout the day for walks, check-ins, and boarding. I live in an apartment with my 5 year old dog Nena. She is active, very friendly, and enjoys to play. If I ever leave the apartment for any reason, my dog, and your dog will be separated in separate rooms until I return for added safety.
About: My open schedule and minimal amount of personal responsibilities highly complements my ability to provide above and beyond service for you and your pets, combined with my history and experience with animals through the course of my life. I have and do go to great lengths to ensure top tier care and quality time for my pets and yours alike. Your pet(s)/furry babies will definitely enjoy their stay here and think they are at their second home or on vacation. A bonus is that I have a strong bond with my sister who is a dog trainer and dog sitter in east Bay Area that has been employed at local vets for a handful of years. I am currently open 24/7 for boarding in my home with no restrictions on my ability to provide quality care and supervision for your pets when desired. :) I am a great listener and follow instructions precisely as given when it comes to caring for your pets and my own. I am very flexible and lenient for preferences regarding your pet’s stay. I am a licensed driver with no traffic violations whatsoever and always prioritize safety and awareness while transporting myself or any others (pets included) within my personal vehicle.
