Dog Sitting Oakland

“Aracely is the ultimate cat whisperer! This was our third time having her look after our home, and even for just a short visit, she continues to impress. Leaving a big pet family behind can be stressful, but knowing our six cats are in such great hands gives us total peace of mind. ​Aracely handles everyone’s individual quirks and needs like an absolute pro, ensuring they are not only well-fed but genuinely comfortable and content for the rest of the day. Every time we get back, everything is perfect and it’s clear our crew is happy and at ease. Huge shoutout to Aracely for taking such amazing care of them—we’ll definitely be booking her again!”

About: Hi! I’m Natalie, a pre-veterinary student at Hope College with a passion for providing safe, loving, and reliable care for your pets. I have experience working in multiple veterinary offices and have spent years pet sitting dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. My background has given me experience understanding animal behavior, recognizing individual needs, and providing attentive care for every pet I work with. I am comfortable caring for puppies, seniors, large and small breeds, and pets with specific routines or medical needs. I also have experience administering medications and making sure pets receive the attention and care they need while their owners are away. My goal is to make your pets feel comfortable, happy, and loved while giving you peace of mind. I love sending updates and photos so you can feel connected while you’re away! I would love the opportunity to meet you and your pets. Feel free to reach out with any questions!! I currently have a full time serving job and am a student so this is something that I do on the side! I am still pretty available and can cater to the needs of my clients. Since I do live with roommates I prefer to go to my clients houses instead of bringing them to my house! I can accommodate pretty easily though if needed.

“Ella did a great job taking care of our two golden retrievers in our home. She did everything we requested and communicated well.”

About: I have my own dog at home and I am always asked to take care of my grandparents dog everytime they're away. I love dogs and always want them to be comfortable in my care. I currently work part time at a custodial company and I babysit at night as well. My work schedule is very flexible, it is a four hour shift and I have time in between then to have a pet care job. I always make sure they have water and food when they need to. I love taking my dog on walks and making sure to take him on bathroom breaks when he needs to. I also make sure to give my cat space when I need to but also play with her when she wants to.

About: I've been a part of a foster family for dogs of all ages since 2010 and will continue to do so even longer. The puppy litters I watched over the years have consisted of 4 puppies or less. The oldest "puppies" I've fostered were just about 6 months old but they are usually around 4 to 8 weeks. The oldest dogs I've watched were two small dogs: one was 16 years old and the other was 14 years old. Even before fostering, I watched and walked my neighbor's two dogs during all seasons. If she had not moved away, I would still be walking and caring for them now. I've always had a passion for dogs and my current dog, Ruby, is my second .

“I’m so glad to have found Kyle to watch our two cats on a recent vacation. I appreciated his communication both beforehand and during his visits. I felt totally at peace knowing our cats were in his care. We will definitely be looking at Kyle’s calendar again when we go on our next trip!”

About: I've taken care of many dogs for friends and family members. Trained puppies for family as well as my own. Cared for older dogs who needed extensive care. Provided all types of care such as, walking, feeding, bathing, playing, and sitting. My schedule is very flexible so I have lots of availability. Morning drop offs and pick ups are great but can adjust as needed. Don't hesitate to reach out with questions. I have a spacious yard and only one small dog who gets along well with other dogs. My home does have space for a crate if needed.

About: Hello!! I have had a dog since I was born and learned to feed and walk them at a young age. I take care of my neighbors dog when she has commitments. My daughter and I take him out for a walk end of the night so she doesn’t have to when she gets home. I’ve house sat on weekends so friends can have a weekend vacation. Also have taken a friends’ dog for walks after school before they get home so the pup can go potty. I work full time Monday through Friday but home by 4:45 everyday. I can can care for your pet in my home starting Friday nights to Sundays for your weekend get aways. I also can do a drop in visit and take your pet for walks and play for a bit if you have to work late or convenience. My daughter and I would cuddle, play and love your pet. We play outside and go for walks a lot. With permission we go to the dog park to run off energy or play with friends of mine’s dogs. Jumping on the couch is never an issue. I prefer to them to get comfortable on couch pillows as if it’s his/her home. The less stress/anxiety on your pet the better. Your pet will never wait in the morning to go outside potty as 5:30am is typically sleeping in for me. My daughter loves to do tricks or even try to teach new ones. I work full time during the week. I am available for drop ins and dog walks during the week after 4:15. Starting Friday night by 4:30 I’m available for boarding and house sitting. On this Rover platform it is set to weekends only for boarding but if you have a cat that needs a long stay that is totally fine and would be happy to do that. When I board an animal I try to be home as much as possible or make it a day event for a walk in the trails (with a leash of course), or play with friends of mines pets. When your pet is in my care I like to have all of my errands finished that way we have constant interaction, opportunities to snuggle/play and go for walks. The more time I have with your pet I hope the more comfortable they feel. Your pet already misses their human and wouldn’t want to leave them alone. I can board up to 2 dogs per family at a time but wouldn’t take on any more to avoid possible temperaments or jealousy. When going for walks I have your pup on a leash at all times. I have a family environment home so your family pup will always have attention. I like to send a few pictures and videos each day to let you know he/she is safe and having a good time.

About: I've had pets since I was 14 yrs old. I have done the puppy stage to helping my senior dog at the end of her life. Your pet will be allowed on all the furniture. Cuddles are a must in my household. I am comfortable with giving medicine or any other treatment your pet may need while in my care. I work full time, but I am able to come home on my lunch break. I am avaible for long visits or short visits. I am very accomodating to your pets schedule and needs. I live in a townhouse. I do not have a fenced in yard, but they do have a small fenced in area for your dog to run around in. There is lots of room for long or short walks. I also live right next to The Ravines if you are comfortable with me taking your pet to the dog park.

About: I have been around animals since I was born. Taking care and watching after my families dogs was basically what I did for fun. I have always had more than one dog in my life growing up, sometimes up to 6. I have plenty of experience training and caring for puppies as well. I can work with your dog with a variety of skills including leash training. I currently have 2 cats and 1 dog of my own. I have dog and cat sat for many different families. I am more than happy to just stop by and give your animal some company! I am also family with a vet tech, so I am very knowledgeable regarding any concerns and if I don't know - I am one quick text from the answer. I cannot wait to meet your furry friends! I just graduated college with a history education degree. I am currently working as a teacher in a high school in a nearby district. When school is in session, I will only be available after 3pm on most weekdays. I have a medium sized fenced in back yard that will be a great space for your dog to play in. I also have a little pool and sprinkler for the warm days to keep cool. In the house there is a very friendly cat who loves to play. She sometimes cuddles up to nap with my families dogs, but sticks to herself for the most part. I can easily crate the dog if need be as well. I am currently in summer as a teacher, so I am very available during the weekdays! Once the school year starts, I will still be available after 3 and weekends. I have a fenced in, large back yard for plenty of running space! I am sure to always be on alert and watching your animals to ensure they do not get into anything they are not supposed to.

About: Taken care of several family, friends, and others pets including both dogs and cats. Would love to get to know new furry friends! I’m a big animal lover and will give your pet lots of love! I am currently in nursing school 3 days a week and the rest of my time will be spent studying and looking after your best friend! I have a dog of my own and am quite familiar with working with other animals. My dog is quite spoiled so I am familiar with all the little routines and wacky meal routines a pet requires!
