“Melina was super awesome taking care of our little puppy! I appreciated her taking notes and asking us how we wanted her to take care of Mochi, our dog. Thank you, Melina! We would definitely ask her to come back and watch our dog!”

About: I’m a caring, patient, and responsible pet sitter. I have a 2 and a half year old dog, so I understand the importance of keeping pets safe, happy, active, and comfortable. I’m attentive to each pet’s routine and personality, and I’ll treat your pet with the same love and care I give my own. I enjoy walks, playtime, and giving pets plenty of attention and affection. I have a flexible routine that allows me to make time for pet care during the week. I can plan my schedule according to each pet’s individual needs and routine I provide a safe and comfortable environment for pets in my home. I follow each pet’s routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions from their owner. I also enjoy taking dogs on walks and making sure they have a fun and comfortable stay

About: I have had my own cats for about ten years and had farm cats and dogs as a child. My cat recently passed and I am not quite ready to adopt another but want to help others in the mean time! As of right now I’m boarding a sweet female cat for a friend and have been for about a month but she will be going back home in the next few weeks! I live in a studio apartment so I am able to board small to medium animals. I am off just two days otherwise I am available in afternoons after I am off work! Let me know if you have additional questions about my experience or availability! I work full time in San Francisco so I usually leave pretty early in the morning and get back home early afternoon Wednesday through Sunday. Monday and Tuesday I am off but run a few errands. When I had my kitty she would usually feed wet food in the morning and leave some dry food for the day, then when I got home I would leave out some more wet food for the night. I of course have a water fountain and plenty of toys and scratchers for the day and have some play time when I get home. I have a studio apartment so not much room for a big dog but I do have a quiet neighborhood for walks and a gated backyard for play time. Cats should be no issue in the apartment with all the toys and scratchers I have!

“Emilia-Laura was amazing with my senior cat who is normally very shy around strangers. She was patient and gentle, letting my cat approach at their own pace. By the end of the 2 weeks she completely warmed up to her and clearly trusted her. Elemlia followed all care instructions perfectly and sent great updates. I highly recommend her especially if you have a senior or shy pets!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​”

“Dane did a great job watching my kitties while I was away. He communicated clearly, asked all the right questions, and took some stunning photos of my cats to keep my mind at ease (seriously he should be an animal photographer). Highly recommend!”

Brit B.

“Bryanna was absolutely wonderful with Bella and Stormy! She was reliable, caring, and kept me updated, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear my dogs loved her, and I knew they were in great hands. I would absolutely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate dog sitter. Thank you for taking such great care of my babies!”

Claudia C.

“Tina was amazing at making Maple feel comfortable and quickly built rapport with her. She followed my instructions and was able to give the most care to Maple.”

Trinity Ho T.

“Danielle is amazing! Lenny looked so happy in the photos and was in good spirits when I got home. Great communication. She took him over to Lake Merritt during two 1-hr visits. I will definitely book with her again!”

Katey W.

“Dennis did a great job taking care of my dog and walking her while I was away. Thank you, Dennis!”

About: I believe that dogs should be allowed to be dogs and walks should go at their pace, with plenty of time to sniff, since that’s how dogs explore and burn off mental energy. I have fostered over a dozen young puppies from the Oakland Animal Shelter, which has thought me how to read dog's body language: if your dog is nervous, overexcited, or ready for a break, I’ll pick up on the small signs and adjust before it becomes a problem. My schedule is flexible right now, so I can plan around your dog’s routine instead of fitting them into mine. Pet care is already a big part of my day with my own dog, so walks, feeding, and playtime are just how our household runs. Your dog’s routine is my starting point, so please share as much detail as you like: meal times and amounts, favorite walk routes, how they settle in at night, and the little quirks only you know about. I’m very detail-oriented and I thrive on routines, so I’ll follow theirs as closely as I can and hold myself to the same standard I do with my own dog. On drop-ins at your home, I’ll take care of food, water, potty breaks, and any meds, leave time for some attention, and send you photos. Dogs who stay with me get supervised time in the fenced backyard and a quiet room of their own to sleep in.

“Vaneesha was great with Sky! We did a meet-and-greet and I asked her to come by 2x a day. I felt a lot less guilty leaving for my trip with the photos she sent me and the time she spent with Sky. She was also flexible and quick to respond when my trip got extended. Thank you Vaneesha! 🙏”

About: I have taken care of dogs since the age of 5. I still remember when my parents brought my first dog home and it was love at first sight. Since then, I have had multiple family members and friends ask me to watch and take care of their dogs. I even have my own dog who has become my best friend. I currently work at a school and have the holidays off. During those holidays, I will be home all day and can be with them 24/7. After the holidays, I am still free for pet care during the weekend. I live in a gated area and when I am home I can give your dog all the attention they need. I also have a 3 year old dog that can keep your dog company.

About: I will treat your fur baby with tender, loving care. Your animal or animals will always be safe and comfortable under my care and supervision. I'm currently working part-time and semi-retired, so I will have plenty of time and flexibility to help with your animal care needs. Let me know how I can help! I will be very clean and respectful while in any client's home and treat your home and your pets as if they were my own.

“Kristi is amazing... My four doggos absolutely adored her! She was willing to come to my home last minute for a meet and greet and drop in on the weekend to check on them. Kristi has a special way with animals and is very caring. I received live updates and photos during her visit which left me feeling relieved knowing they were in good hands. 10 stars. I highly recommend her for your pets needs:)”

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).

“Jana worked very well with Mimir! I was surprised by how quickly Mimir warmed up to her! The care and check ins were timely and well documented, and Mimir was found healthy and happy upon my return!”

“Amanda was awesome with my two large dogs! She even went above and beyond to feed my cats when my husband didn't leave enough food for them. She cares about everyone.”
