Dog Sitting Oakland

About: From my experience in shelter care and veterinary medicine, I am very comfortable with caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and medical needs. I have dealt with strays and owned pets from every imaginable background, and I believe every animal is worthy of patience, respect, and affection. I’m currently unemployed so I have a very open schedule for watching your dogs and cats! I typically let my own dogs out about 4-5 times a day, and they each have their own feeding schedule that I attend to as needed. I am very flexible right now, and would also be available to do fluids, injections, and other specific medical and behavioral needs (e.g., extra walks, extra play time, etc.). I have a fenced in yard and three friendly dogs, and two sweet cats, to keep your furbaby company. I am comfortable crating dogs and have an extra crate for a small-medium dog. One of my dogs is a senior dog with special needs, so I am perfectly comfortable housing and caring for dogs who have their own special needs. I also have a dog with epilepsy so I am very used to dealing with seizures and the safety precautions that go along with them. These dogs have also never met a stranger, and our home is an overall very welcoming environment to all creatures (I even have a pet spider!).

About: I am a pet person! I’ve had dogs since I was a child and have cared for my own dogs and cats throughout my adult life. Animals have always been part of my family, and I truly love caring for fur babies of all ages and personalities. I treat every pet like my own, with patience, affection, attention, cuddles, and lots of love. I understand how important it is for pet parents to feel confident their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’m known in my community for taking care of friends’ pets when they’re away. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I work from home and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets lots of attention, supervision, walks, and companionship throughout the day. I live in a safe, walkable neighborhood and love taking dogs on walks, playing with them, and making sure they feel comfortable and loved. My home is very pet-friendly, I have a large, fenced in backyard, and I genuinely enjoy having animals as part of my daily life. I provide a safe, loving, and comfortable environment where pets are treated like family. I have a secure fenced-in backyard with plenty of green space for dogs to safely play, explore, and get exercise. Pets will receive lots of attention, supervision, affection, walks, playtime, and care throughout the day. I’m happy to follow each pet owner’s routines, feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any special preferences to help pets feel comfortable and secure. If needed, I can also crate pets according to the owner’s instructions and comfort level.

About: I enjoy taking care of dogs. They all have their own unique personalities and are so loving! I enjoy being a calm consistent presence. I take pride in owners knowing and feeling like their family is safe, secure and getting the attention needed. I know leaving your pet can be stressful but trust me they will be left in great hands. I work in the education field so I am mostly available on the weekends. We have several breaks throughout the year, so I am also available during our breaks. I am able to follow any routines that mimick life at home so your pet will feel comfortable while you're away. Your pets are free to walk around my home, I can crate if that's your preference. I also live in an area where your pet can walk and run around freely. Keeping your pets happy while you're away is my mission.

“Mary was great! This is my first time using a service to check in on my fur baby. I will definitely be calling on Mary again. Thank you Mary!”

About: l am very experience with the care of large and small breed dogs and am able to handle all dogs with kindness and gentleness. I am in biased towards any breeds and that shows through with my care and handling. I am knowledgeable in basic training and am comfortable handling reactive dogs. I am able to provide walks and pet sitting on weekends at any time and throughout the week in the afternoons. Please just message me regarding the time you are needing and I will see if I can make it work. Caring for pets in a client’s home should never be taken lightly and pets should be supervised at all times while their owners are not there.

About: I’ve been taking care for dogs for over four years, and during that time, I’ve gained experience with a variety of breeds, sizes, and temperaments. For the past few years, I’ve been regularly taking care of my neighbors’ pets, providing everything from daily walks to overnight stays. I’m passionate about dogs and truly enjoy spending time with them, whether it’s playing, going on walks, or just relaxing together. My goal is always to ensure pets feel safe, happy, and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m currently a full-time nursing student at the University of Memphis, but my schedule is quite flexible as of right now since I’m on summer break. I can easily find time throughout the day to check in on your pets and provide the care they need. Since pet sitting is my primary job, I have even more flexibility on weekends and can dedicate extra time to watching and caring for your pets. Whether it’s daily visits, walks, or overnight stays, I’m happy to accommodate your needs When it comes to caring for pets in their own home, I prioritize maintaining their routine and comfort. I make sure to follow any specific instructions regarding feeding, exercise, and medication schedules. I keep their environment familiar and stress-free by providing plenty of playtime, affection, and attention. I aim to create a positive, safe experience that helps your pets feel relaxed and happy in their own space.

About: I’ve had animals my entire life, so caring for pets isn’t just a job for me its second nature. I understand animal behavior, routines, and the little things that help pets feel safe and loved when their owners are away.

About: i’ve taken care of dogs since i was 2 years old. i love playing with the dogs in my neighborhood and helping lost dogs. i love them. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I plan my schedule around being consistent and reliable. I’m used to making time for things that need attention every day, so feeding, walks, playtime, and check-ins all fit in naturally. During the week, I have a flexible routine that allows me to stop in for visits, walks, or spend quality time with pets. I make sure they stay on their normal schedule as much as possible so they feel comfortable and stress-free. On a daily basis, I’m attentive and organized, so I don’t miss important things like feeding times, medications (if needed), or giving pets the attention they deserve. I also make time for updates to keep owners informed. Overall, pet care isn’t something I try to “fit in” last minute, it’s something I prioritize and plan my time around. I care for pets by keeping their routine as normal and comfortable as possible, whether they’re in my home or their own. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walking routines, playtime, and any specific care needs.

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I’ve spent many years caring for dogs and cats for friends, family, and clients. I have experience with pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities—from energetic puppies to sweet senior pets who need a little extra patience and care. What sets me apart is the level of attention I give every pet. I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and preferences so they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. Whether it’s a long walk, a game of fetch, medication, extra cuddle time, or simply keeping them company, I care for every pet as if they were my own. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I strive to provide that peace of mind every single visit. My schedule is very flexible, allowing me to provide dependable care throughout the day, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, weekends, and holidays when available. Because pet care is my priority, I can accommodate regular walks, drop-in visits, overnight house sitting, and customized schedules to meet your pet’s needs. I understand that every family has a different routine, and I’m happy to work with yours to help your pet feel comfortable and cared for. When caring for pets in your home, I treat both your pets and your home with the same respect and care I would my own. I carefully follow your instructions regarding feeding, medications, walks, routines, and any special needs to help your pet maintain a sense of normalcy while you’re away. Safety is always my top priority. During walks, I use secure leashing practices, stay alert to our surroundings, and make sure pets are safely returned home after every outing. For house sitting and drop-in visits, I keep your home tidy, double-check doors and gates, and provide regular photo and message updates so you always know how your pet is doing.

“Akilah was amazing! I had to leave town last minute and was so fortunate that Akilah was able to do drop in visits with my cat. She went above and beyond, problem solving when I forgot some supplies. She checked on my cat multiple times and she sent me photos and videos to keep me in the loop of how my fur baby was doing. He really liked her and when I got home he was very calm. I was very pleased with her services and will definitely become a repeat customer. Highly recommend!”
