Dog Walking in Mountain View Cemetery, Oakland, CA

“Ashlyn was super communicative and good with my dog. I also appreciate her flexibility on change times for a cooler time of day during a heat wave. I will definitely hire her again next time I’m out of town.”

“Stephanie did a great job walking Daisy. She always showed up when she said she would. Daisy is looking forward to more walks with Stephanie.”

“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!”

“Christine came to the rescue on short notice to walk our foster dog while we were on vacation. She was patient, understanding and offered great care. Love the rover.com app and the report card feature! Christine clearly followed the protocol, gave informative daily feedback and put our concerns about leaving new foster pet at ease. Thanks Christine!”

About: I grew up with dogs and cat and now have a cat of my own. I love all animals and your animal will get plenty of love and care while you are away. I am currently working as a yoga instructor and part time textile engineer! I like to wake up early and work out, take the dogs out and then start my day! I have two cats, fitzgerald and marci who have lots of scratchers and toys and perches to play on! We also sunbathe on our balcony.

About: I’ve had experience with a handful of different cats and dogs, from walking to house sitting, I also offer pet photography alongside your service. I am a quick learner, motivated, and would love to take care of your pet. I am in the process of preparing to start animal behavioral college, where I’ll be majoring in animal training. I’m currently on a break from work until the end of August/ early September so I can accommodate to your needs and have lots of time to play with your critters. I have a fenced large open patio and yard, the perfect spot with plenty of space for your fur baby/ies. I can also stay overnight at your house, I’m open, I will always leave your home better than I found it.

About: Your cats will love me! 😺 ----------------------- Howdy! I have had the great pleasure of loving and taking care of many different pets—horses, reptiles, fish, dogs, and cats. Don’t tell the other species, but I have a special connection with and fondness for felines. (When I was an infant, Isadora the Siamese spooned me while I slept in my cradle. So, I consider myself part kitten.) Cats are my first crush, but sadly, my doggos (senior chihuahuas with attitude) are not cat fans, so I’m seeking out other folks’ kitties to give some affection to. (BTW: My partner volunteers at Oakland Animal Services and fosters unhoused dogs, and most recently, bunnies! -- so, we are an animal rescue family.) I'm versed in pill giving, administering subcutaneous injections (insulin, etc), giving fluids; I also adore all my elder or special needs kittenz. I am highly responsible, reliable, and detail-oriented. I am COVID vaccinated. I provide photo updates, so you can relax and refuel! Another fun fact: Cat Sitting is a full time thing for me; I'm no fly-by-night operation, and I love what I do! I'm available weekdays, weeknights, and weekends. I live near Piedmont Avenue, with easy access to the surrounding neighborhoods. I prefer local, so I can walk, but I do have a vehicle and take my kitty-care most anywhere. From Grand Lake to Piedmont to the Avenue to Temescal and beyond (Rockridge & South Berkeley, I'm looking at you 😺)! Previously, I opened and owned an art framing & gallery space (Panorama, on Grand Avenue); was a commercial photographer; and was a bookseller -- I also currently freelance in the digital realm and pursue art making. If you are traveling for work or for holidays, or need a drop-in when you're not wfh, please reach out! >^•-•^< Any pets who are under my care get the same treatment I would hope for myself—patience, kindness, unconditional love, and acceptance. And, oh yeah, treats. :-)

“Rachel was great with Sunny! Super nice, sent updates, and communicated throughout pickup/drop off!”

About: Hi, I’m Hadley! I’m an experienced pet sitter who lives in San Francisco and works in the East Bay so I can do weekday dog walks/drop-ins in the East Bay and boarding or full-day care in the city on weekends. I can dog walk in the evening on weekends in the city. I raised my own dog from 8 weeks to 16.5 years and also raised a kitten from 6 weeks old, so I’m very comfortable with puppies/kittens, senior pets, and administering medication or special care. I’ve cared for many different dogs over the years and always tailor my care to your pet’s needs, from long walks and playtime to short strolls and calm company. I’ll treat your pet like my own and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away 🐾 I work full-time in the Oakland area and live in Lower haight. I can do full days and boarding ont the weekends and dog walking and drop-ins on week days. I live in an apartment with an outdoor patio. I am happy to take dogs on as many walks as needed as. Happy to come to your home to make sure your animal stays comfortable as well.

“Thank you, Sara!”

About: Hi! We are two animal lovers who have had pets of all kinds throughout our lives. Chrystal has raised dogs, cats, fish, iguanas, guinea pigs, and other small furry creatures. Daniel was raised on many acres with many furry and farm animals as pets. Our family consists of ourselves, 2 kids, and 2 adorable cats. Our sweet, large goof of a dog recently passed and we miss him dearly. We both work from home with a flexible schedule, so have plenty of opportunity to support your family's needs. We both have years of experience dog and cat sitting. We are comfortable and experienced with all breeds and ages and can provide medication as needed. Daniel is also uniquely skilled with larger dogs who need extra support, confidence, or attention when walking or near others. If your pet is not comfortable with kids and/or cats we can easily accommodate with scheduling and separation. Reach out with any questions and we look forward to meeting your furry family! We work from home with a flexible schedule and so can easily schedule time away during the day. One of us is available evenings as well. In the winter months we are away for the weekend, so only available weekdays (Sun eve - Fri midday) We like to know from you what makes your pet the most comfortable in their space. Any guidance is appreciated! We leave a space cleaner than we found it and are natural organizers. If you are traveling, We are particularly thoughtful about how you'd like to leave the house with lights on\off, etc.

About: I’ve got a toy poodle who lives in Oakland with my parents, have experience house sitting for puppies, and love spending time with pets. I’m reliable, friendly, and your dog will be in good hands :) I’m currently doing a post-bacc program, but only have classes on Mondays & Wednesdays. The rest of my week is super flexible for dog walking or house sitting, as long as I have a bit of notice. Let me know what things you’d like to work on with your dog, what your typical routine is, what to watch out for on walks, etc. and I’m happy to make sure that what I do falls in line with that. If house sitting, a meet & greet would be preferable first. Feel free to ask me any more questions you might have!
