Cat Sitting in Oakland

“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.”

“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: I have hands-on experience working with a variety of animals and am comfortable providing daily care while ensuring their health, safety, and well-being. My responsibilities have included feeding, cleaning living areas, monitoring behavior, assisting with grooming, and maintaining a safe and sanitary environment. Pet care is an important part of my daily routine, even while balancing a part-time job. I make time each day to ensure animals receive proper care, including feeding, providing fresh water, maintaining clean living spaces, and monitoring their overall health and well-being. I also prioritize exercise, enrichment, and social interaction to support their physical and emotional needs. By managing pet care alongside my work responsibilities, I have developed strong time-management, organizational, and multitasking skills while demonstrating reliability, compassion, and a commitment to responsible animal care. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. I provide fresh food and water, ensure living areas are clean and safe, administer basic care as instructed, and monitor pets for any changes in behavior, appetite, or overall health. I also provide exercise, playtime, enrichment, and companionship based on each pet’s individual needs. In a client’s home, I respect their property, follow all care instructions carefully, and provide updates on their pet’s well-being when requested. My goal is to create a safe, stress-free environment while ensuring pets receive attentive, compassionate, and reliable care.

About: I love to jog around Lake Merritt, and I'd be happy to take your fur baby along for a run! I've cared for dogs and cats, healthy and sick, with very specific dietary restrictions and activity needs. I wish I could have my own pet, but since I travel pretty often, this is the next best thing. :-) I’m a Product Manager with a hybrid work schedule. Rest assured, I can easily get from work to home on in-office days for walks/drop-ins if needed. I also work at a dog friendly office. I am available most days for drop-ins 2x/day. On weekday evenings, I typically go on runs (with/without dogs!). Expect many photos of your fur baby while you're away! I'm happy to drop in to check on food, water, litter (for cats), and take your pup on walks. I am very detail oriented, so if you have very particular instructions regarding diet or preferences while outside, you can trust me to follow them. For boarding, I have bowls for water and food as well as doggy waste bags. You would need to provide their food, treats, toys, (litter for kitties), and anything else to make their stay more comfortable!

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, from growing up with a schnauzer to now raising Denali, my 10-year-old St. Bernard. Caring for a giant senior dog has taught me so much about patience, attentiveness, mobility needs, routines, and just how important comfort and companionship become as dogs get older. I also have experience dog sitting dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. For the past year, I’ve regularly cared for Cooper, a Maltese/Yorkie mix, sometimes for weeks at a time while his family is away. I genuinely love spending quality time with dogs; not just making sure they’re fed and walked, but making sure they feel safe, stimulated, loved, and understood. I believe a dog’s world is only as big as we help make it, so I care a lot about enrichment, affection, play, exploration, and giving them moments that make their days feel full and exciting. Whether your dog is energetic, anxious, playful, cuddly, tiny, giant, or entering their senior years, I’ll care for them with the same warmth and attention I give my own💖 My schedule is very flexible during mornings and regular daytime working hours, which allows me to be available for walks, drop-ins, playtime, companionship, and daytime care throughout the week. Whether your pet needs a midday walk, company while you’re at work, or extra attention during the day, I’d love to help 💖 I’m available to pick up your pet for walks or provide care directly in your home, where they feel safest and most comfortable. I know how important trust, routine, and environment can be for dogs, so I always try to make their experience feel calm, familiar, and stress-free 🐶🐈

About: I focus on house sitting and provide calm, attentive care for dogs and cats by carefully following routines and instructions, drawing from real experience caring for dogs in familiar home environments. Pet care fits well into my routine, especially house sitting. I plan my schedule to be present, responsive, and consistent with feeding times, care instructions, and routines as agreed upon in advance. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow instructions carefully, respect house rules, and prioritize safety and cleanliness. I focus on keeping pets comfortable and secure in their familiar environment.

About: Looking for a pet sitter who will meet your pet with the amount of love and fondness you do while you’re away? Look no further! I am a loving pet-sitter with years of experience with both cats and dogs. I specialize in regular play-visits, check-in’s, and overnights. I bring toys and treats to keep your friend mental active and engaged, while also prioritizing reading their cues to see what they’d most like to, whether that be brushing, playing, having some time for ear rubs and pets, or spending time in the same room quietly. A hobby of mine is learning about how animals tick, so I’ll often find myself researching how to read cues and make the most of my communication with animals, so I love this job because I get to make so many new friends that I get to see regularly. Whether you need one-time care or ongoing check-ins, I’d love to work with you and your furry friend to best meet your needs, especially during what can be an uncertain time for pets I run a weekly meal prep program and have regular sessions with pet-sitting clients weekly! Happy to find time that works for both of us! I try to create a relaxed and warm environment for pets to feel safe while their guardians are away. Happy to help with plant care as well while I care for your pets!

“Jessica had great communication from our initial booking request and through the whole sit. I could tell my cat Mystery was in good hands! I will definitely book again. Thanks Jessica!”

About: I've had the privilege of taking care of many pets growing up; fish, a hamster, guinea pigs, and now my cat. Animals have always had a natural affinity to me and I receive that as the greatest honor. My goal is always to make sure animals feel safe and comfortable around me before I engage with them because I respect their autonomy. As of right now, my schedule is pretty free, so I would have time to walk your dogs or hang out at home with your cats any time! I am always respectful of other people's rules and spaces. I will never make your pet do something they don’t want to do (unless they refuse to follow their parent's rules, of course). It is extremely important to me that they feel comfortable around me when I am in their space.

About: I have had and cared for pets since childhood, rescuing (literally from the streets) a lovely pitbull named Olive when I lived in Philadelphia. Moved to CA in May 2026 from East Coast. I recently moved to CA to support my wife’s new job in SF. I have a fully open schedule at the moment and with a love of animals I thought that this would be a better way to learn and love my new community than digging through online job ads. I am willing to sit, play, walk, feed and care for your pets as needed. I’m an active (formerly collegiate) runner and can go as fast or slowly as your pet needs. I have reliable transportation and experience in pet first aid as I recently completed my tenure as an Emergency Manager with the American Red Cross.

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.

“Ayanna took great care of my 2 cats! She was very responsive, sent videos to check how she gave my cat medication, and lots of photos, I’ll definitely be booking again!”

“Christine is just terrific. She takes the time to play and finds the shy cat for a photo under the bed. Kitties were in good spirits too. We are very happy to have her come care for our precious kitties again.”

“Jay did a fantastic job watching over my kitty when I was away! I felt my little one was in great hands, and I looked forward to every day's update because they were filled with fun pictures and tidbits!”
