House Sitting in Oakland

“James kept us informed, kept our high energy dog happy and cared for. He took her on walks where she met other dogs to play with. He took her with him on short trips out of town. He followed feeding and care instructions well. He left our home in great shape, took out the garbage and kept everything clean and ready for us. He was very conservative of any resources to which we gave him permission to use or to consume. We highly recommend James!”

About: I cared for my yellow Labrador, Sparky, for 12 years. From puppyhood to his senior years, our daily walks, playtime, and belly rubs were some of my favorite ways to connect and spend quality time together. Over the years, friends, family members and neighbors have also trusted me to care for their pets while they were away. Whether it’s walking, feeding, or providing companionship during vacations, I’ve always treated every pet like my own, with patience and love. Your pet’s safety, comfort and happiness are my top priorities. I understand how important it is to have someone reliable and caring looking after your furry family member, and I’m here to provide that peace of mind. I work full time during the week, so I’m available for walks after 5pm on weekdays and anytime on weekends. I am also available for house visits and stays from Wednesday evenings after I get out of work through Sunday evenings. When caring for pets in your home, I treat your space with the same respect and care I would my own. I understand how important it is to maintain your pet’s routine in a familiar environment, and I always aim to create a calm, comfortable, and safe experience. During visits, I follow your instructions closely, ensure your pet is fed, exercised, and given plenty of attention, and keep you updated with regular check-ins. Daily walks were one of my favorite bonding activities with my dog, Sparky, so I truly understand how important they are for both physical health and mental stimulation. Whether your pup loves a leisurely stroll or a more energetic walk, I tailor each outing to their pace and personality. Safety is my top priority. I make sure the leash is secure, stay alert to surroundings making sure it is a safe area to walk in, and follow your dog’s routine and preferences. I make sure walks are not only safe but also enjoyable, giving your dog a chance to explore, exercise and return home happy and relaxed.

About: With over 15 years of hands-on experience, I’ve cared for dogs of all ages—rambunctious puppies, playful adults, and sweet seniors. I previously owned my own dog and now work closely with domestic and wild animals at an animal shelter, where I’ve developed the ability to build trust with new pets quickly. My home is currently pet-free, so I’d be thrilled to host your dog and give them my full attention and affection. Whether your pup needs structured care, medication, or just extra belly rubs, I bring patience, intuition, and genuine love to every visit. I currently have a very open and flexible schedule, which allows me to provide attentive and consistent care throughout the day. I was recently laid off and now work limited hours outside of the house, so I spend most of my time at home. This makes pet care a perfect fit for my lifestyle—I truly enjoy the companionship and having a pet around keeps my routine joyful and active. I'm able to accommodate feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special needs your pet may have. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, their safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I create a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where animals can relax and feel at ease. My home includes central air conditioning and heat to keep pets comfortable and safe during peak seasons, and there’s an elevator available for animals with mobility issues. I take time to build trust with each pet, follow their routines closely, and provide regular updates so you can feel confident while you're away. Your pet will be treated with the same love and care I’d give my own.

“Brooke is an all around wonderful person and it translates over to the way she cares for dogs. Our dog, Chancha, had the best time with her! It was a last minute booking, too! My boyfriend took me on a surprise trip to propose and if it weren’t for Brooke’s quick response and willingness to dog sit, he might’ve haven’t had that chance or made this trip happen! So, thank you beyond words!!! She is responsible, compassionate, and truly someone that loves dogs. I wouldn’t skip her over! She is 6 stars out of 5.”

About: I’ve been dog sitting since I was 18 years old. I’m experienced in giving medications to dogs who need it. I take them on walks during the day (if that’s something they are used to) and give them lots of attention. My work schedule is very flexible. Making it easy to stay with pets for longer periods of time during the day. With only some evening events for work, pets get the most attention while sitting. I have been watching pets at their own home, I go above and beyond with love while their parent is away. I make sure the get all the attention they miss while their parents are away.

“Milena stayed at our house with our 2 dogs and she was great! We came home to happy dogs and a clean house! She kept us posted with pictures and updates. I highly recommend her and look forward to booking her in the future!!”

About: I don’t have dogs or cats myself but I do have bunnies that I feed and take care of. My cousins have dogs and I treat them like my own, frequently going on walks with the two of them. I'm a college student who loves pets and being active!! I'm available for walks in the morning and afternoon on Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday. I have a fenced in backyard and live in a quiet area with lots of side streets. The other dogs in the neighborhood are also very friendly.

About: I am a full-time pet sitter who is reliable, detail-oriented, and funny. I have been providing professional pet care services for dogs and cats for the past 12 years. I am available for both short-notice and regularly scheduled walks. Should you require overnight visits, I am also available to provide care for your pet in your home. Our pet care relationship begins with a phone call or e-mail to discuss your pet's needs. After that, we will have a consultation to meet and further discuss the particulars of your pet's needs and my visits with your pet. You can rest assured that your pet is well cared for because after each visit I will leave a note detailing how your pet was during the visit. For overnight visits, I will e-mail or text the details of the visit to you. I look forward to speaking with you and caring for your pet! I am a full time pet sitter so I am always available to give your pets the one on one love and attention they deserve. I have been providing overnight care for pets for twelve years. When pets are kept in their home environment they’re much more comfortable than in a boarding facility.

About: I’ve cared for pets my whole life and understand the importance of treating every animal like family. I have hands on experience with dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy level from high energy pups that need structured walks and playtime, to senior dogs who require a gentler approach. I’ve also looked after cats and small animals, and I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, administering basic medications, and providing updates to pet parents for peace of mind. ✨ Special Skills • 🐶 Experience with puppies & senior pets • 💊 Can administer oral medications • 🐾 Skilled in leash training and managing high-energy walks • ❤️ Strong intuition for animal behavior & emotional needs • 📸 Happy to provide daily photo updates • 🧽 Clean, respectful, and committed to leaving your home just as you left it • 🚗 Reliable transportation and flexible scheduling I have a very Flexible Full Time Schedule Available. I am Available Weekdays Monday-Friday & Weekends Saturday- Sunday with your pups. Feel free to share and specific instructions or special care needs & allergies. I have a fenced yard for plenty of play time but I also love taking the pups on walks or to the local dog parks if allowed. I like to get anything approved prior as I understand pet anxiety and stress can be possible.

About: I have a lot of experience with dogs of all sizes and behaviors. In my teen years, my family would often take in dogs coworker’s and family friend’s dogs. That gave me plenty of experience with one on one care. At home I currently have a 8 year old Rottweiler named Coco. She can be a bit temperamental, so I am used to dogs with specific boundaries (i.e. no petting). I am a very loving and caring pet owner, who can’t wait to meet yours! I just graduated from Montclair State, so my schedule has freed up significantly! I’m available most days as long as I am booked relatively ahead of time. I very thoroughly take care of pets. All I want is for them to be happy, healthy, and safe. If there are any specific care requirements, please let me know.

“Sherrylee went above and beyond with our three month old rescue puppy. Can’t thank her enough for her professionalism, effectiveness, kindness and patience. Highly recommend this wonderful caregiver.”

“Aletris was great with my dogs. She kept us updated and took care of them like her own. She went above and beyond will definitely rebook with her!”

“Amanda D. is a dog whisperer par excellence, attentive, thoughtful, very professional. At our Meet & Greet, she cautiously approached our howling, skittish dog, calmly waited at his level for him to settle down and offered soft words of praise when he did. In no time at all, he had gone for a ride, explored a new field with lots of great smells, played quietly in the heat and cuddled with her on the couch. Thank you, Amanda.”

Eugenia C.

“I can't recommend Kristin enough! She took incredible care of Buzz, while I was away on such short notice. It was clear she genuinely loves animals and knew exactly how to make buzz feel comfortable and safe. I received regular updates, including photos and messages, which really put my mind at ease. She definitely became my dog's new best friend!”

About: I worked for Animal Loving Care (ALC) for 2 years when I lived in NYC. During that time, I walked dogs, I was a pet sitter and worked in the daycare department. The company wanted me to come back but I moved to New Jersey once I became a mom. It's a long commute for me to go every day taking public transportation to New York with a baby. I've been walking and taking care of dogs from external clients that I have and who ACCEPT ME TO GO WITH MY BABY. You can see photos on my profile. I'm a stay-at-home mom, fully dedicated to caring for and raising my 20-month-old baby. I also walk some of my clients' dogs and feed their pets when needed. We can make an appointment to meet and meet the dog before. I can stay at the clients house as many days as necessary, walk their dog as many times as necessary, feed him/her and play.

About: I love all kinds of animals and would love to help you out with your fur babies! I have experience with reactive/emotional pets and have dog sit for friends and family in the past. I also love staying active and would love to take your dog on a walk so they get their exercise too:) I have school 3 days a week and am free most evenings to help out anyone who needs a quick drop in or walk for their fur baby:) I have pet sit for friends/family before and always make sure animals are fed, walked, and sleeping. I cannot take animals in my own home as my dog is pretty protective/reactive:)

About: I have had dogs my entire life from before I could remember to now. I’ve had special needs dogs, rescues, and pure breeds who require a little extra love. I’ve cared for senior dogs ( who are blind and deaf) and trained puppies successfully. Over all, I adore dogs of all kinds, shapes, and sizes! I can’t wait to adventure with your pup! I am an elementary school teacher. I am very affectionate and attentive when it comes to animals. I would love to walk and cuddle your pup all summer long! I have two very friendly dogs and a husband who adores pups just as much as I do! We have a very large fenced-in yard where your pup can get in their daily zoomies! We also have two sides of our house where, if necessary, your pup can have alone time with me and away from my other two pups (who can hang out with my husband). When it comes to caring for pets in your home, I will be sure to follow all routines you set. It’s important for a pup (especially one’s still learning) to have the same routines with or without their mom/dad present.

“Sonya is absolutely incredible ! Extremely reliable, courteous, professional and punctual! She genuinely loves our dogs (2 exceptionally large and rambunctious Bernese mountain pups > 130lbs each!!). From the moment she arrives she provides constant attention, playtime in the backyard and is very attentive when it comes to following specific instructions for the pups. Highly recommended her !”
