About: I have grown up with big dogs and have helped my family in fostering over 15 different shelter dogs with different needs ages and behaviors. I also have over 5 years in dog and cat sitting experience. I’m currently super flexible and can fit in walks frequently i’m home for summer break so have lots of free time. I also have a car and can drive to nearby trailheads. If caring for pets in your home I will take all precautions and instructions given seriously. I’ll also update with photos of your pet and communicate accordingly.

About: I have one French Bulldog, ZaZa who is three and a tiny poodle mix, Blake, who is 2.5! Blake has lived with me throughout most of my college experience ever since he was 2 weeks old. I trained him by myself while also taking care of zaza from time to time! I just graduated from UC Berkeley, and I am currently looking for a part time job, but as of now I am completely free to focus on caring for doggos! I also have my dog Blake at home with me, so I am open to fit with your schedule. Blake is an energetic dog, so I like to take him out on 3-5 walks everyday. I also take him to the dog park once a week to help release his energy and interact with other dogs. I have plenty of toys at home, and training treats! Since Blake is a poodle, and he has long curly hair, I have a grooming kit at home as well that we use once every two weeks!

“Shanley was great with both our dogs and even adjusted her schedule to take them on earlier walks when a heat wave came in the middle of our trip. We so appreciated her flexibility and her concern for our doggos’ well-being!”

“Isabella is a very responsible and caring dog person. She has been caring for my pup for 7 months in a variety of ways: day/evening care, walks, and house sitting. What has impressed me most is her ability to build a bond with my people-shy and anxious pup. She is patient and kind, speaks to him in a thoughtful way and shows genuine concern for his well-being. Other skills and traits that Isabella possesses: -reliable and consistent communicator sending updates and reaching out when she has questions -flexibility with regards to scheduling, if need be, she makes adjustments -conscientious in administering my dogs meds and feeding him treats and special food -safety and privacy is top of mind with Isabella and she follows house rules and special med instructions in caring for my dog Last but not least, I have no reservations when going away because I know she will take good care of my home. I highly recommend Isabella to care for anyone's pet, they will love her!”

“Great guy! Felt really confident having him walk my dog and my dog came back tuckered out and happy! Will be using him again.”

About: Hey everyone!🐾 My name is Niveya and I’m currently a graduate student and basketball player at Saint Mary’s College, and I’ve been around animals for as long as I can remember. I grew up with two cats (a tortie and a domestic longhair) and several dogs (from poodles to pitbulls) over the years, so caring for both cats and dogs has always been a part of my life. Growing up, I also volunteered at local dog shelters, which taught me that every animal has a different personality. Some are energetic and playful, while others just need a little patience and time to feel comfortable. Friends and family have trusted me to care for their pets over the years, and I’ve found that animals usually warm up to me because I stay calm and let them adjust at their own pace. Being a student-athlete has made responsibility, reliability, and consistency a huge part of my everyday life. Between balancing graduate school and basketball, I’ve learned how important it is to be dependable and communicate well. Whether your pet loves long walks, playing fetch, cuddling on the couch, or just sticking to their normal routine, my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Because of my basketball schedule, I’m typically on campus during weekday mornings and parts of the afternoon, but I’m available throughout the late afternoons, evenings, and all weekend. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and any special routines. I’ll also send plenty of updates and photos (if you’d like!) so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands😊 I am a student-athlete at Saint Mary’s College, so I am on campus in the mornings and some afternoons for basketball workouts. I keep a structured and dependable routine, which makes me very organized when it comes to caring for pets. I have workouts in some early afternoons but I’m available throughout the late afternoons, evenings, and off all weekends for walks and playtime. I make sure every pet gets regular potty breaks, exercise, and plenty of love while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible! I live in a pet-friendly and fenced-in apartment where I only host up to two pets at a time, allowing me to give each one plenty of individual attention. If your pet likes to socialize, I have a roommate and teammates that are pet lovers as well! I carefully follow each owner’s instructions, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and any special routines. I provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, regular updates with photos (if you want them!) and lots of affection to help your pet feel comfortable while you’re away.

About: My golden retriever Bearon lived to be 15.5 years old. He’s large dog, sweet, trustworthy and funny. My Grandmother lived to be 105 always had a dog. Our family takes care animals like they just as important as humans. My availability is asap. Special skills would be to treat your animal like you prefer and make them feel at home. Key factors such as trust, safety and communication. These essential skills are very important to make sure the animal is alright and in good hands. Dogs emulate their owners and how you treat them makes all the difference in the world. Overall dog backwards is god so with that said it’s great meaning and represents a biblical term. Thank god for dogs on our planet I plan my day around my dog. I love to have a routine. That way the dog knows what to expect. For instance food and drink at the same hour. I treat other dogs like my own. We can go inside or outside. I’m very flexible to completely understand them. I think gods are sensitive.

About: I own the cutest lab poodle who just lost her sister due to old age and needs friends. It can be a dog or cat. I don’t have a job right now. I am working on getting a job remote and will have a lot of time caring for animals. I usually watch tv with cats or play with toys for either a cat or dog. I like walking dogs too. I make sure to feed them and refill the water bowls at the exact same time of day.

“Andrielle is great! She’s dependable and reliable, comes on time for Duke’s walks and always walks him at least 30 minutes, about a mile each day (or more!). I’m so glad I found her for Duke, I know he’s well taken care of and well exercised while I’m at work. And she takes the cutest pictures of him :) Thanks Andrielle!”

“Jaeleigh was very quick to respond and provided us updates for our pup! She followed all the instructions we left her and was reliable. Would definitely recommend for any furry friend. Thanks Jaeleigh! :)”

About: I have taken care of dogs for my friends for years. I love playing with them and making sure they feel safe and loved. I have had a love for dogs since I was a small child. My cousins had a dog who I loved with all my heart. I would always love throwing tennis balls for him and giving him treats (maybe to many at times 😉). I will take good care of your dog and make sure they enjoy there time with me! I am very flexible with my schedule. Most days including weekend I will be available. I currently have no jobs or part time jobs at the moment. I have a very sizable backyard for your dog to run around and feel a sense of freedom. The backyard is fully enclosed, no pet can get out. I also have plenty of areas for a dog to sleep during the night.

About: I’ve had pets my whole life, including my sweet lab/German shepherd mix, Layla, who we lost to cancer 3 years ago. Right now, we have a rescued cat and a 1-year-old pup staying with family back in Las Vegas. We recently relocated to Moraga and are staying with my sister until we get on our feet and can bring our loves along with us. We're missing our pets and would love to love on yours! I'm absolutely obsessed with dogs, and my kids love all animals (they'd bring home every stray *anything* if it were up to them!). We found our cat wandering a park and took her in, so I get where they get it from! I know how important it is to feel safe leaving your pet in someone else’s care, and I treat every animal like they’re family. Whether it’s senior care, playful pups, or cuddly cats, I’ve got the experience, the patience, and the heart for it. I work in mental health remotely and my husband is at home with the kids full time while I focus on building my practice so we have a healthy amount of flexibility. We would be honored to be entrusted with the care of your little loves. We were previously homeowners who rented often and managed multiple properties, so we know how important it is to treat others' home like (if not better!) than your own. We will care for your pets in your home as you prefer, and are comfortable with crates, walks, light training, etc.
