House Sitting in North Stonehurst, Oakland, CA

“Angie was great. She was very responsive and kept us updated throughout the entire time she took care of both our pups. The pups were healthy and happy and our home was kept clean. We would have her house sit for us again.”

About: I’ve grown up around animals my whole life, and I currently have three dogs and one cat who I love like family. I’ve also cared for several of my aunt’s pets over the years, so I’m very comfortable with different personalities, routines, and needs. I care deeply about animals and their wellbeing, and I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just keeping them company, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’d be happy to give your pets the same level of care and attention! As a senior in high school, I keep a consistent routine that makes it easy to fit in pet care. I’m home before the late afternoon most days, which gives me plenty of time for walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins. On weekends, my schedule is very open, so I am able to spend even more time with pets and be flexible for longer visits or multiple walks. Since I already care for my own pets daily, adding additional pet care fits naturally into my regular routine. If needed, I can adjust my schedule to make sure every pet gets reliable attention and care. When I care for pets in my home, I focus on creating a comfortable environment. I make sure they have all their necessities like water, food, and plenty of play and attention. Since I have three dogs and a cat, I’m used to managing different personalities and making sure everyone gets the type of interaction they need. In a clients home, I’ll ensure to follow their routines closely so the pets feels secure and consistent. I’ll make sure to follow any rules and schedules, and especially make sure to bond with the pet so they feel relaxed while their owner is away!

“Daria stayed in our place with our dog and cat for a week. Unfortunately, our cat became sick during our travel, and she promptly informed us about the situation. She took our cat to the vet, followed instructions about the treatment, and sent us timely updates. She is very caring and went above and beyond attending to our sick cat. Also, she left our house clean and in order. I highly recommend her.”

“Jessikah is an incredible pet sitter! She spent a long weekend house- and pet-sitting for me, from a Thursday evening through Sunday evening, staying overnights. She kept my house very clean, watered my front garden, and - most importantly - was super attentive to both of my pets. My cat is not particularly fond of new people, and Jessikah really put on the effort to put Angrboda at ease and try to get her to play, despite being hissed at. My dog is easier, but Jessikah went the extra mile cuddling with him loads and walking him (he pulls; walks are optional) during her stay. I got incredible photos of both pets every day. When I got home from my trip, my pets were not stressed and anxious that I'd been away, which is extremely important to me. I cannot recommend Jessikah enough, and I am so happy to have found another pet sitter I can rely on and call back for future travel.”

“Laura’s first time dog sitting for us went smoothly. This was an overnight trip. She sent us photo updates and was responsive when we texted to check in. When we got home, the house was tidy, their water bowls were filled, and Cannoli and Da Vinci were in good spirits. We’ve booked Laura for an extended stay while we’re on an international trip. Thanks, Laura!”

“Stephanie sent regular updates and was very easy to maintain contact with. When I came home from my long weekend away, both of my babies (Charlie Barker, 10yo pibble mix; Angrboda, 2yo longhair housecat) were very comfortable and happy. Stephanie stayed over while I was away, and left the house tidy for when I got back. I really appreciated the care she gave my pets, and I loved working with her!”

“Dane was phenomenal with my dog and cat. He was patient, thorough and an excellent communicator. He gave my dog lots of walks. Would highly recommend!”

“Alyssa is an incredible sitter who pays close attention to detail and asks a lot of questions to better understand your pet's schedule. I couldn't have asked for a better sitter!”

“Ro was a blessing during our first weekend away from our long time bebe and our recent arrival, who are still getting acquainted with each other. She was responsive, gave updates with photos, and was respectful of our space. Thank you again!”

About: I totally love cats and dogs and enjoy looking after them. I currently have an empty nest after losing my cat to old age, who was with me from 6 months old to 19 years old. I've lived with and taken care of cats most of my life. I've cared for family, friends' and clients' dogs and cats including kittens, elderly, and disabled cats. In addition to tending to their basic needs like keeping water fresh, feeding as instructed and keeping their area clean, I enjoy brushing and playing with them and taking dogs for walks. I'm a substitute elementary school teacher and semi-retired small tree garden arborist. I take pride in taking good care of trees, kids and pets and find joy in making what could potentially be the worst days for them turn into a positive experience. I usually host with only one family at a time to provide a stress free environment. If your pet could benefit from or tolerate coboarding, I offer a $4 per night discount to the person who books first or the option to just board solo. My boarding room is dedicated just for your pets, and they get full access to the rest of my pet friendly one story two bedroom house, as their behavior permits. East facing corner windows let in morning light and are shaded in the afternoon. An elevated pet bed overlooks a garden with small trees that wrap around the windows. Cushioned lounging areas are in nooks and others out in the open. Sheets and bedding cushions get washed regularly. Area rugs cover the floor for comfort and soft landings. Two litter boxes are in the closet, one enclosed and one standard, which get scooped twice a day. There is a scratching post, toys and a tunnel.

“Amazing, start to finish! Leo's communication with me was thorough and professional, and his time with Vivi was so caring and loving. As an older pup, she just needs lots of love, attention, and a few walks...and Leo goes above and beyond to accommodate her. He absolutely loves animals and it shows! Leo is my #1 go-to pet caregiver. Thank you, Leo!”

“Anthony was great with our special girl while we were visiting family over the holidays. He stayed at our home and was very flexible and extremely accommodating for our baby. He sent lots of photos and updates and even took her to the pet store a few times to pick out treats and get a much needed rain coat. She even tried to go home with him when he was leaving when we got home. 😂 I can’t recommend Anthony enough. We already have requested a few re-bookings.”

About: Thank you for considering me to take care of your baby! 🐕Growing up taking care of 7 large dogs taught me how to multitask the needs of multiple pets. 🦎I have also had the opportunity to sit for a bearded dragon and understand their needs with heating, UV lighting, feeding and supplements, bathing and femoral pore maintenance, enrichment, etc. 💬 Communication is very important to me! Please give me as much info as you can about your pet's needs, and I will do my best to check in as much as possible including facilitating video call. Feel free to reach out with any questions! I am fully available this month to take care of your fur babies! Feel free to reach out to me with questions at any time. I try to create a safe environment for myself and pets by ensuring I have all necessary medical information and am familiar with diet and exercise needs.

“She is my savior! agreed to take care of our dogs at the last minute, and she did it perfectly. All of my dogs absolutely love her and they looked very comfortable around her. Thank you so so much!”

About: hi there! we are a young couple that grew up with lots of dogs and love having them around. we have been pet sitting since we moved to the bay area (we left our pets back home) and it has been a great way to make extra money and keep dogs around until we can have our own (we travel a lot, so we have not been able to adopt our very own just yet) we are used to host the pets we watch and love having them sharing our space. we are very responsible, very respectful and very caring. we have flexible schedules and are very active so we will make sure your dog gets his energy out. we have lots of references and will be happy to share it with you. my work schedule is from 9am-4pm and my husband has every other week off. During his week off he is free to walk/stop by/watch at our home anytime of the day. We both can be flexible. if I am not available, he probably is available as we have different schedules. we follow the client’s directions on how to take care of their pet. we do not disrespect client rules/directions as we would not like it to be done with us. we are mindful about poisoning food/plants to pets and rearrange what needs to be rearranged before pets' arrival.

“Star is amazing. A real animal lover. She went above and beyond in the TLC department for our pups and took great care of the house while we are gone. Just a damn good human too!!! Thanks, Star!!!”
