Pet Sitting & Drop Ins in Oakland Ave-Harrison St, Oakland

“Lauren took absolutely wonderful care of my cat Theo for the weekend! She sent detailed updates after every visit with lots of great photos and gave my cat lots of snuggles and love. Absolutely looking forward to booking with her again!”

“Jen was fantastic! We booked a couple hour long drop-ins for our dog on short notice, and she was extremely attentive and communicative throughout. She actively engaged with our pup for the entire drop-in, sent us lots of updates, and was a total lifesaver. We would book her again in a heartbeat!”

About: As a pet caregiver for over a decade, you can be sure that your best friend is in safe care. I grew up with dogs and started providing pet care professionally in 2015. In addition to taking care of only-child canines, I offer services to multi-dog and multi-species households. I have experience caring for cats, rabbits, birds, and reptiles. What you can expect from me as a sitter: - Loving companionship for your animal and clear communication with you. - Daily photo/video updates! - Meals, walks, play, and medications administered according to your dog’s regular schedule. My goal is to make sure your dog feels completely comfortable and cared for while their family is away. Our canine companions are such important parts of our lives, so it is vital that your sitter/walker is as passionate about the health and happiness of your best friend as you are. Can't wait to meet you and your dog, and forge a relationship centered around the wellbeing of your beloved companion! I am self employed as an artist, so my schedule is flexible and can be adjusted to accommodate your animal’s needs. I am available for overnight sitting and daytime check-ins and walks any day of the week with a few days advanced notice. I care for clients’ dogs in their homes according to my clients’ instructions, which we’ll go over during our meet and greet. I’d love to know ahead of time if your dog has any special talents like escape artistry, opening trash cans, or jumping onto the kitchen counter and scarfing down an entire loaf of bread in under 10 seconds (real story). Please also share if there are off-limits areas for your dog, either inside or outside your home.

“Jessica was communicative and friendly! I have one scaredy cat with special needs, & she handled him wonderfully. Both of my kitties were happy and well-taken care of while I was away. Knowing that Jessica was watching my pets helped me feel comfortable & relaxed. Will certainly book again!”

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life. Growing up on my grandparents' farm, I developed a deep love and understanding for animals of all kinds. Over the years, I've also cared for two of the most unique dog breeds— a Chihuahua named AJ and a Chinese Shar-Pei named Roxie—both known for their distinct personalities. Additionally, I’ve had the pleasure of dog-sitting for two friends here in the Bay Area: a Golden Doodle named Riley and a Lab-Boxer mix named Uno. I truly enjoyed these experiences, which gave me the confidence to expand my pet care services through Rover. With plenty of patience and a genuine affection for animals, I’ll treat your pet like my own and ensure they receive the care and attention they deserve. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, operating on East Coast hours. This allows me to be available most afternoons, evenings, and early mornings on days when I don't have meetings. I’ll keep my schedule updated weekly to avoid double bookings. In my downtime, I love getting outside for walks— and I’d be thrilled to have the company of a new furry friend! As a dedicated and loving pet caregiver, I treat every pet as if they were my own. When caring for your pet in the comfort of your home, my priority is to create a familiar, safe, and comfortable environment. I follow your pet's routine to ensure they feel secure, whether it’s feeding, walking, playtime, or snuggles. I am attentive to your pet's needs and always keep them engaged and happy while respecting your home and boundaries. You can trust that your pet will receive the same care, affection, and attention that I would give to my own animals.

“We’re ecstatic to get Christine for cat pet sitting. Her care is beyond basic. My cat is older and required medication and fluids and Christine handled that very well. She was consistent with her timing and visits. I really enjoyed all the journaling and pictures of their visits while I was away. Christine has a great sense of animals and offers intelligent advice from her experiences.”

“Sam is great! She comes by to do drop in visits when we are out of town. She is kind and so sweet to our dog. When he sees her he gets excited which is a good feeling. She is super responsive and flexible with our schedule. Highly recommend!”

Jessica S.

“Jacob provided exceptional care for our cats while we were away. His communication was great, with regular updates and photos, giving us peace of mind. Highly recommend for anyone needing a reliable and caring cat sitter!”

About: My open schedule and minimal amount of personal responsibilities highly complements my ability to provide above and beyond service for a you and your pets, combined with my history and experience with animals through the course of my life. I have and do go to great lengths to ensure top tier care and quality time for my pets and yours alike. Your pet(s)/furry babies will definitely enjoy their stay here and think they are at their second home or on vacation. A bonus is that I have a strong bond with my sister who is a dog trainer and dog sitter in east Bay Area that has been employed at local vets for a handful of years. My roommate Damien and I have both shared residencies for a handful of years and he loves all as much as I do! Extra loves and good vibes! Every pet that books here will be given frequent and genuine attention, full of warmth that feels catered to them! I am currently open 24/7 for boarding in my home with no restrictions on my ability to provide quality care and supervision for your pets when desired. :) I am a great listener and follow instructions precisely as given when it comes to caring for your pets and my own. I am very flexible and lenient for preferences regarding your pet’s stay. I am a licensed driver with no traffic violations whatsoever and always prioritize safety and awareness while transporting myself or any others (pets included) within my personal vehicle.

About: Ciao! My name is Matt and I'm very excited to have the opportunity to meet you and some of the amazing pets we have here in the city. I currently live near the rose garden/Piedmont. I live close to several other parks, and I always enjoy meeting new pet friends that come my way. I really don't have many restrictions, but all I ask is that if you are interested in meeting to discuss my services that we have great communication (whether it's email, call/text, etc.) I work from home during the week and actively get outside myself, so I'm sure we could work something out if you need help with your pet! Comfort and exercise go hand-in-hand in my experience. Play time and treats are always possible. Companionship is a must and routine is our next best friend.

“Becky cared for our 2-year old Calico cat during a weeklong trip and did a wonderful job! She was timely, diligent, and communicative. It is clear she has a love for animals. Our cat took to her very quickly and expressed lots of affection and purring. Becky sent thorough updates during each visit which = gave us peace of mind while traveling. I would be delighted to work with Becky again.”

“Kevin and Anna went way above and beyond to take care of my kitty -they were quick to think in a stressful situation when I left them the wrong key. I panicked but they thought of a quick solution and went out of their way to get a new key. Vinnie is an anxious guy and he clearly felt very comfortable with them. I feel so confident leaving my kitty in their care and I hope they will be available next time I travel.”

Stephanie L.

“Just the kindest people and so intuitive about my kitties and what they need. Really appreciate their flexibility with scheduling and adding more time with my boys.”

I will keep a close eye and treat your animals with respect and kindness!

“Chelsea is really the best. We had never used this type of service before but she made sure we felt comfortable even before booking. She set up a meet and greet to get to know us and our cat, she was so sweet and asked us everything she needed to know and she took notes on things we considered important. She made sure to keep us updated on behavior and sent us pictures and a detailed report after each visit. We felt so comfortable knowing that our fur baby was happy while we were away in another country. She went above and beyond and all the little extra attention to detail and going the extra mile was the cherry on top of her amazing service. She definitely made sure to take care of our fur baby like it was her own as noted on her description. We will for sure be booking with her again when needed. Thank you Chelsea! ?”

About: I have always had dogs and cats from a young age. Currently, I have one Yorkshire terrier mix. I was also raised on a ranch with horses so animals have always been an important part of my life. I have experience raising puppies, potty training, elderly dog and cat care. Caring for them in every stage is what brings me joy. I currently do Rover full time while I take online classes. I am happy to do meet ups or video calls to determine if it is a good fit! I have a large apartment with a fully secured patio. I have one small dog of my own. We do multiple walks a day and enjoy going to near by parks - Lake Merritt and Point Isabel.

“Shelly took care of our cat for about a week while we were out of town, and was a wonderful sitter! We'd gladly book with her again, thanks for all your help Shelly!”
