Pet Sitting & Drop Ins In Northgate

“Fuliang did a great job. I felt my cat Alba was well cared for. I got a nice detailed report on the last day. Could have used a picture of my cat everyday but otherwise I am a very satisfied customer and will use this sitter again for my pet sitting needs.”

About: Choosing a pet sitter can be stressful, but with my background, you can finally relax. I offer more than just walks and playtime—I provide veterinary-level peace of mind. For over 15 years, I worked as a Veterinary Technician, honing my skills at some of the most respected animal hospitals throughout San Francisco. My clinical experience is vast, and I am proficient in everything from medication administration to monitoring post-operative patients. On top of that, I have unique hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of species gained during my time at the San Francisco Zoo. What this means for you: Safety First: I am highly trained to recognize and respond to potential medical issues quickly. Specialized Experience: Need someone comfortable with insulin injections, sub-Q fluids, or complicated medication schedules? I’ve got it covered. All Creatures Welcome: While I adore dogs of all shapes and sizes, my love doesn't stop there. I am highly comfortable and experienced in caring for your pocket pets (rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters) and even snakes and fish. My mission is simple: to provide reliable, compassionate, and expert care so your pets feel secure and happy while you are away. I currently work from home part-time doing administrative work for a leading veterinary company as I transition from in clinic work to pet-care full time. I'm available most of the day to assist with your pet's care. Whether in your home or my home, your pet will be cared for like they're my own. I will give each pet the chance to get to know me, as well to get to know them, so our bond will become as close as it is with you.

About: I've grown up with multiple dogs and am now happy to have my own little corgi-terrier named Karl and a black cat named Billie. I'm my friend's go-to pet sitter and have been loving getting to know the other dogs in the neighborhood. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, large dogs, and reactive dogs. I am available in the evenings on week days and anytime weekends. Please do not book recurring walks if they need to occur earlier on weekdays. I also work as a para educator, so my schedule is flexible, but I will be unavailable for up to 9 hours at a time. Pet care and safety is very important to me. My own dog has very high needs and requires a lot of attention and care, especially on walks, so I completely understand all the peculiar needs of all pets and their individual personalities.

About: I’ve cared for pets for years and I genuinely love being around animals. I’m the kind of sitter who notices the little things—energy changes, appetite, stress cues—and adjusts to help your cat or dog feel comfortable. I’m consistent with routines (walks, feeding, play, quiet time), respectful of your house rules, and I’ll send regular photo updates so you always know your pet is happy and safe. Right now I have a flexible schedule, so I’m able to be present and attentive throughout the day. I plan my routine around pets’ needs—morning and evening walks, regular potty breaks, meals on your schedule, and plenty of calm check-ins. I’m happy to accommodate early drop-offs/pickups when possible, and I’ll communicate clearly about timing. I’m careful, calm, and safety-focused. I follow your instructions closely (feeding, meds, routines, house rules) and I’m attentive to behavior cues so pets feel secure—not overwhelmed. I’m mindful with doors, leashes, and transitions, and I keep a clean, low-stress environment. You’ll get regular photo updates, and I’ll reach out quickly if anything seems off.

“Jesse was so kind to accommodate for my last minute booking. He made sure my pup was taken care of and is a very considerate sitter! Appreciate the regular updates and flexibility. Will definitely recommend him for any future bookings.”

“I was super stressed about finding a sitter for my 11 week old pup last minute for an all day training at work, and even more nervous about having a stranger visit my place! But Alejandra had fantastic reviews and even initiated meet & greet, which I really appreciated. And when she came to meet me and MoMo - boy, did my puppy LOVE her immediately, which made ME love her too!! :) Finally, on the day of the appointment, Alejandra showed up on time, followed all my requests, and took such good care of my puppy for an hour. TYSM Alejandra, I will book with you again next time MoMo needs a sitter!! ❤️❤️❤️”

“My cats had a wonderful time with Tony; even the shy one took to him immediately. He sent me great pics, and I came home to two happy, healthy, well-cared-for kitties.”

Alison T.

“Jessica went above and beyond in caring for my rambunctious cat while I was out of town. My cat doesn’t always like people but he loved her right away and Jessica did such a wonderful job sending photos and updates. When I came home I could tell that my baby was well taken care of. I cannot recommend Jessica enough!”

Hana K.

“If we could leave more than 5 stars we would. Alyssa gave good vibes dome the jump. Once the visits started we got follow-up questions, plenty of photos, and updates, Alyssa was a phenomenal sitter with great communication. We could tell the kitties were in such great hands, because they didn't even run up to the door for cuddles when we got home. That has never happened. We appreciated the care Alyssa took to sweep up the litter too because no other rover sitter we've had has done that.”

About: *Lady K's Doggie Lounge* I'm a fulltime doggie daycare and boarding provider. *I never leave pups unattended* Animals have always been a part of my family and lifestyle. In addition to dogs, cats, and birds, I've been a parent to rabbits, hamsters, livestock and reptiles. I'm also a mother of two over the age of 35. I'm the go-to person for the care of their dogs, as well for other members of my family's pets when they are in town. I have a 13 year old Corgi/Jack Russell mix, (Sir Prince) that loves meeting new friends. So while in my care, your baby will have my constant attention, and personalized detailed care, as if he or she were my own. I also believe in providing my clients a peace of mind while away from their bundles of joy. I know how stressful it can sometimes be. You are welcome to bring a Kennel for your furbaby if they are use to using one. In my experience, they are helpful during feeding times and when personal space is needed. Sometimes they provide a bit more comfort to them when in an unfamiliar place. But for the most part, all pups have the freedom to roam as they wish. My specialty is in-house pet care, but taking the babies for walks is always possible. I provide homestyle daycare and boarding 24/7. Pups will never be left unattended. Lady K's Doggie Lounge and my clients are top priority for me. I offer a calm, free to roam environment. Kennels are only used for feedings and sleeping if needed. I can and will maintain your pets current schedule/ routine if necessary.

About: I have experience in providing care to both cats and dogs of friends, family members, neighbors and colleagues. I can provide boarding, house sitting, or drop ins for cats. For dogs, I can provide house sitting and drop ins, but no boarding. I work from home, so I’m home all day most of the day. My workload is light enough that I can be present for fur babies under my care throughout the day. I like to chat with pet parents to learn about their personality and behaviors. I can provide feedings, changing water and litter boxes, playing with and entertaining, and giving lots of rubs and cuddles to your fur baby when they’re under my care.

About: i’ve been a dog mom for 20+ years and have basically had dogs my whole life. i trained my own dog from puppyhood and i’ve helped friends (and other pet parents) with basic training and routine stuff too. i’ve taken multiple training classes, so i’m comfortable with things like leash manners, boundaries, and reinforcing good behavior in a calm, consistent way. i’m naturally really good with dogs and i’m great at reading their body language, even the ones that are anxious, reactive, or “don’t usually like people.” i’m patient, confident, and i keep things low-stress so pups feel safe and listened to. i work from home, so i’ve got plenty of time to give your pup real attention throughout the day (not just quick check-ins). i’m happy to do multiple walks a day, and since i’m near downtown oakland, we’ve got plenty of great walk routes, lake merritt, nearby parks, and lots of good “sniffari” streets. in my home, your pup gets a safe, relaxed setup with lots of attention. i have a fenced patio so they can hang in the sun and get fresh air, and inside they’ll have plenty of room to stretch out, lounge, and roam comfortably. we’ve also got nearby open spaces, fields, and trails for walks and play. depending on your dog and what you’re comfortable with, i can do off-leash play (only where it’s safe/appropriate) or keep everything leashed, solo adventures or playtime with my dogs if your pup enjoys company. i’m big on following your routine and keeping things consistent: feeding schedules, meds, crate time, training cues, slow introductions, whatever your dog needs. i’m totally comfortable with seniors, shy/anxious pups, and dogs with special instructions. and if your dog would do best with more backyard time, i can also utilize my girlfriend’s place nearby with a fully fenced backyard for extra outdoor play/sniff time (with your permission).

“Cyvanah was wonderful with my baby boi Hilo. I especially appreciated the multiple photos and summaries of each day from Cyvanah. It put my mind at ease and I looked forward to each update while away. She bonded with my kitton spectacularly and he was cuddling on her lap in no time. She has a way with cats and I would trust Cyvanah with any fur baby of mine. She is professional, punctual and a great communicator.”

“Cindy did drop-in visits with our cat for 4 days while we were out of town. We really appreciated her regular updates with cute pictures and videos, and our cat seemed to really enjoy her company. Excellent 1st experience with Rover- would absolutely book Cindy again!”
