Dog Sitting Oakland

“Alli is WONDERFUL! She took fantastic care of our big orange cat while we were gone for a recent trip and kept us updated with pictures, videos, and sweet messages each day. Our cat LOVED her and seemed disappointed when we came through the door instead of Alli upon our return. We’re so thrilled to have a reliable, knowledgeable, trustworthy, loving caretaker for our fur babies. There’s no better feeling than knowing your pets are in good hands when you can’t be with them. Our sweet guy was as comfortable and perhaps even happier when we returned than when we left him. We look forward to planning future vacations knowing we can rely on Alli to take such great care of our pets. We’d give her 10 stars if we could. THANK YOU, Alli!!!”

About: For over 15 years, I have provided comprehensive, high-quality care for both dogs and cats. My experience ranges from high-energy playtime to specialized senior care and positive reinforcement training. I pride myself on creating a safe, structured, and joyful environment for every pet. What I Offer- Medical & Senior Care: Confident in administering oral medications and skin topicals, as well as managing specialized routines for aging pets. Positive Training: Skilled in teaching basic manners, tricks, and reinforcing good behavior using force-free methods. Play & Enrichment: Expert at reading animal body language to deliver the perfect balance of physical exercise and mental stimulation. Feline Expertise: Experienced in managing cat behavior, specialized diets, and giving space to timid or anxious felines. Whether your pet needs basic puppy training, gentle elder care, or just a fun day of structured play, I adapt my approach to their unique personality. Because my work schedule varies week-to-week, I am highly adaptable and can often accommodate non-traditional times, last-minute requests, and mid-day visits that standard 9-to-5 sitters cannot. I manage my calendar tightly to ensure that when your pet is booked, they get my 100% undivided attention, medical care, and training focus. As a seasoned pet professional specializing in medical administration and behavioral training, I look at safety through a clinical and preventative lens. I do not just watch your pet; I actively monitor their health, behavior, and physical surroundings to prevent accidents before they happen. You can travel with total peace of mind knowing an expert is at the helm.

I treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while their owners are away. I understand how important it is to maintain their routines, give them attention, and provide a calm environment. I am committed to offering dependable care built on trust, patience, and genuine love for animals! Pet care fits naturally into my routine, allowing me to provide dependable and attentive care. I keep my schedule organized so I can be flexible with visits, walks, and overnight stays whenever possible. My goal is to give every pet the time, attention, and affection they deserve while keeping owners updated for complete peace of mind. Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I carefully follow each owner's instructions, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise routines, and any special needs. I take time to build trust with every pet, creating a calm and loving environment where they feel safe and cared for. Whether I'm caring for your pet in your home or mine, I'll treat them like a member of my own family and keep you updated with photos and messages throughout every visit.

With dog training as my core, and having an Executive Assistant professional background of over 20 years, calendar maintenance comes natural and my availability is easily workable around varying schedules. If I’m not at the dog park or training, I can be available for services as necessary. I focus on science-backed methods that are mindful and effective, while integrating enrichment, affection, stimulation (both mentally and physically), rest breaks, sniffy walks, play time and cuddles. I prioritize the pet parents requests and instructions, aligned with fulfillment that meets the dog’s foundational needs.

About: I’ve been around animals all my life from dogs, cats, gerbils, cows, pigs and horses. I'm am willing to treat your pet as part of my family. I understand your pet is the world to you and want the best for your pet. I treat your pets as my own and know that they deserve the very best! I will carry out what you except to be done or treated with your pet. I am familiar with a lot of breeds, their characteristics and how to work with them. We have our own private dog park. I offer additional obedience training (additional fees apply) if requested. I'll work on obedience training the basics with your dog and try and stop any behavioral problems; if appropriate boarding days allow. Your dog will be in good hands and will either lay by me or if they are allowed on furniture (or if not allowed 🚫 just let me know). I will follow your wishes to not be on furniture, just like if they were at home at your place. I will pamper them and give love - they will love it. Where I live we have our own private dog park to take your fur baby(s) to play and get some exercise. I have one dog (tea cup) Maltese to keep your fur baby(s) company and play. She gets along with all dog(s) and sizes. If you want your dogs crated please bring one so I can easily crate your dog if needed (I do have different size crates)... A dog’s natural behavior as a pack animal allows them to learn discipline, hierarchy and socialization. And them being with other dogs that I watch. Interacting with friendly dogs and people throughout the day aides their learning of these behaviors. Pets must be uptodate on all shots and flea/tick prevention - my dog is on Bravecto/Heartguard. I keep my pet upto date on flea/tick and require your dog to be on preventative flea/tick program (no one likes fleas/ticks and don’t want pickup those parasites and spread it - thank you for following this prevention we can stop). I’m currently not working, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with ur fur baby(s)! And be home with them. I’m available to board weekdays and weekends and offer day care. We have our own private dog park, where I’ll take them for exercise and play. I go into the park when no other dogs in the park or if another dogs comes I will leave to avoid any conflicts.

About: I have never had a dog before until about 6 years ago when I was convinced by my husband it was a good idea for my anxiety. He was very right. The dog helped me a lot while going through a grieving period and I love animals. We go to the dog park everyday, I have a lot of fun with him. I have watched over friends dogs and cats. I am currently working full time job but I have lots of free time, specially during weekends. I am available at night after work too. I don’t have a problem to go to someone’s house but I can’t sleep there. I am unable to have an animal at my house at the moment but in the future this may change.

“Danielle was a real life-saver by taking the booking at the last minute due to another cancellation hours before I was leaving town. She was able to meet with me quickly and understood Coco’s care needs. Everything was completed as requested and I returned to find Coco calm and happy! Also enjoyed seeing the pictures and reading the notes from each visit. Great experience with Danielle!”

About: I will love your pups. (Or kitties!) ALMOST as much as you. I only say “Almost” because, let’s face it, they are YOUR babies. I totally understand being a doggie mama of 2 fur babies myself. I will treat your pets like they are my own. Also, if you are anything like me, I want you to know that you WILL be getting regular updates. I hate being anxious about my babies when I’m away from them. So don’t worry, I got you! I currently work from home, and I can chose the hours I work. So, when my boyfriend said “no” to another pet, I found a workaround: Rover! Now, I can help you with a peace of mind, while spending time with MORE fur babies! It’s a win-win for everyone! I currently work from home, and I can chose the hours I work. I have the freedom to chosen when it’s time for a break to spend time with spend time with your baby. And I also have had animals around me since I was old enough to breathe. (From day 1.)

About: I am a vet student in school and I have been caring for my 6 animals for more than 10 years. You can trust me I will be very careful, responsible, and loving towards your animals. I work a part time job as a barista and my mornings and weekends are usually free so I will have a lot of time free to do what I love most and care for your animals! I will care for your animals at your home by feeding/walking them on time and I can put them to bed in their crate if needed or if not then they’ll have a safe space to get their zoomies out and relax!

About: I have been around animals all of my life. I’ve competitively ridden horses since I was 3. I have 15 years experience with dog rescue work & training. I currently help run Florida Cocker Spaniel Rescue. I am available Friday-Sunday all day. I am also available after 6pm for walks during the week. I work as a full time VA in home nurse Monday-Thursday 8-6pm. I care for your pets like my own (spoiled rotten). I cater to your pets needs as every pet is special in their own way.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 12 years old, and they’ve always been a huge part of my life. Over the years, I’ve had experience with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities, including Pit Bulls, French Bulldogs, Yorkshire Terriers (Yorkies), Cane Corsos, and many others. My love for animals goes far beyond simply caring for them—they truly become family. I understand that every dog has their own unique personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having someone nearby, I’m committed to providing the same level of care and attention that I would give my own pets. If you choose me as your pet sitter, you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member will be treated with patience, compassion, and plenty of love every step of the way Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine. I currently work part-time, Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., which allows me plenty of time each day to provide attentive care before and after work. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, medication, or simply companionship, I’m available to give them the love and attention they deserve. On the weekends, I’m completely off, giving me even more flexibility to accommodate your pet’s schedule and spend quality time with them. I understand how important it is to maintain your pet’s routine, and I’m committed to making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. I care for every pet as if they were my own, making their comfort, safety, and happiness my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and specific needs so they can feel as comfortable as possible while you’re away. In my client’s home, I strive to keep your pet on their normal schedule by providing fresh food and water, walks or potty breaks, playtime, exercise, medication (if needed and with instructions), and plenty of affection. I also make sure your home is respected and kept tidy while I’m there. To give you peace of mind, I’m happy to send regular photo and video updates so you can see how your furry family member is doing. Whether your pet is energetic and loves to play or prefers quiet companionship, I’ll provide patient, loving, and reliable care tailored to their individual needs.

“Kiara visited my cats while I was away. She did a wonderful job. Kept me updated and really took good care of my kitties. I’m so grateful I found her on Rover. Truly kind animal loving person.”
