House Sitting in Oak View

“Lacey watched our dog while we were gone for an overnight trip. She was great! She has a nice calm presence that our energies dog responded very well to. We returned to a happy and well cared for dog and we will definitely be using Lacey again!”

About: I grew up with dogs and have long term fostered 4 of my own. 2 of which were puppies that I trained, and 1 being a senior dog. My experience with different age ranges has helped me understand the needs of pups at different stages of life. I absolutely love dogs and I am so excited to meet yours. I work part time in the evenings. You can find me during the day on the trail already so I’d love to have your fur babies accompany me! I’m privy to the needs of older or super energetic pups and can confidently say that when they are leashed up with me we will have a safe and great time.

About: Since I was 12 I would pet sit for neighbors and family friends in my area. I always loved being around dogs since I was a toddler and still continue to provide quality care for my clients. I also raised my own pup fully on my own, constantly catering to different dietary needs and walking schedules based on his age. Although he just recently passed I understand the extra attention that is necessary for dogs who are seniors or have certain traits/needs and of course will be able to properly care for any 4 legged friend you have in your family. I am a UC Berkeley student home for the summer fully free to match any of my clients schedules, I also work weekends and holidays . Being 21 I have tons of experience with pet sitting and baby sitting. I myself raised my own furball for 16 years and understand the needs and attention that is necessary for those who are in their senior years. I also have catered to any dietary needs necessary for those with particular dietary preferences. And of course provide a space filled with unlimited love and attention.

About: I love all critters, large and small. I have two large dogs which I have both trained. They are incredibly well behaved, but I know how to give them space to be rambunctious and playful. It’s so important for pets to have a safe space to be themselves and show their beautiful, unique personalities. I know how to work with senior and leash-aggressive dogs. Kitties are wonderful with minds of their own. I give them attention when they want it, but distance if not. They are cats after all! I can take care of fish too, as I have a tank of them in addition to my dogs. I am currently taking care of my husband who is recovering from surgery. My schedule is extremely flexible! I walk my dogs in the morning, but I can adjust my walk time as needed. For overnights, my husband should be okay on his own. I just need to take care of groceries. I start off with an introduction to you and your pet. Treats are a great way to start off on the right paw! I ensure your pet feels safe and gets to know me. I am caring and loving, and I also know how to give space to your furry one when they need it.

“So glad Sidney was able to stay at our place with our dog and cat! I felt less stressed on vacation knowing she was taking great care of our animals. She sent daily pics and left our house spotless for when we returned! Highly recommend her!”

“Rachael was awesome and our doggies loved her! Got text and photo updates the first couple of days, which alleviated our anxiety about leaving our "kids" with someone else! She stayed at our home and it didn't look like anyone had been there -- very clean! We highly recommend Rachael!”

“Jasmine was fantastic! My dog had a great time and was relaxed and happy when I got back from my trip. My dog is reactive to dogs and bikes, and Jasmine dealt with that perfectly. Absolutely wonderful!”

“So thankful to have found Leanna & Julio! We had 2 last minute cancelations and they were able to help us out to house and corgi sit our 2 boys within a weeks notice. Leanna was very communicative and immediately put me at ease leaving Stevie & Dexter in her care for a long weekend. I received several videos and loved seeing our pups so happy and getting plenty of walks! I would highly highly recommend Leanna & Julio and will definitely be using them again in the future!”

About: ​"I bring a professional, detail-oriented approach to pet care, backed by a commitment to reliability and safety. I don't just 'watch' your pet—I curate their day. Whether it's a high-energy park adventure or a consistent, disciplined walking routine, I prioritize your pet's specific temperament and needs. ​I treat every booking as a professional contract: you can count on punctuality, clear communication, and photo updates that give you complete peace of mind. Your pet’s comfort and safety are my top priorities, and I approach every interaction with the professionalism you expect from a dedicated care expert." ​Because pet care isn't one-size-fits-all, I maintain a highly flexible schedule to accommodate your routine. Whether you need early morning check-ins, midday feeding and play segments, or dedicated evening companionship, I structure my days around making sure your pets stay on their preferred timelines. I am available for both weekday and weekend bookings, ensuring consistent, reliable care so your fur babies never miss a beat while you're away. I prioritize a secure and attentive environment for every dog I care for. While I don't have a yard at my home, I am an extremely active person and live near several wonderful local dog parks and scenic trails. I love taking my visitors on frequent outdoor adventures and long walks to ensure they get plenty of exercise and fresh air. My home is a clean, organized, and stress-free space where your pet will be treated like family and given my full, undivided attention.

About: I have been around dogs my whole life. Growing up, my family had three dogs that I was closely bonded with and brought me such joy. Later, after moving out of my childhood house, cats were a bigger part of my life. On two separate occasions in the last few years I took on the role of long-term cat sitter for some kitties whose owners moved or went on extended vacation. Although I have not owned my own dog since teenage years, I have been around friends' dogs almost constantly - most notably, Mahoney (Mo Mo), a dog belonging to a friend I was living with a couple years ago. Mo Mo had some old trauma and therefore trust issues, meaning he sometimes took months to warm up to people. However, he tentatively let me pet him on our first meeting, and warmed up to me relatively quickly over the following 2-3 weeks. We became good friends, and since my friend traveled frequently, I was often entrusted to take care of high-energy and high-maintenance Mo Mo for days or weeks at a time. More recently, I had the pleasure of living with a friend/roommate with a new golden doodle puppy. We bonded strongly; I helped care for her and train her, and I took her with me on walks, hikes, and the occasional road trip. I have always felt a special and easy connection with animals; I adore caring for them and I could spend time with them endlessly. As of now, I am a full time graduate student, with in-person classes only occurring once a month. Other than that, I am doing my course work on my own schedule, which leaves me plenty of flexibility to help out with pet care. For now, I am not offering pet care in my own home. When I pet sit in others’ homes, I am highly attentive and respectful both of the space and of the particular instructions given to me by clients for the well being of their pets. I am open to overnight care as well as periodic visits and/or walks, depending on your specific needs.

“Abi was very caring and took excellent care of my cat. She sent me photos and stayed in touch. My cat really liked her and responded so well to her time together.”

About: Hello! My name is Deanna and I have had pets (dogs and cats) my whole life! I am a natural with animals. I also have a bunch of experience taking care of animals through nannying. I am energetic and love going on walks with dogs big or small. I am also tidy and organized and would make sure to clean up after your dog or cat. I have a flexible work schedule as a server at a local restaurant. My shifts are only about 4 hours long so your dog or cat would NOT be left alone for very long periods of time. I am a pet owner and I would give your animal the same kind of love and respect that I would expect for my dog.
