“Matt was great! He came and met us the day before our walk/drop in, it was nice knowing he would know exactly where everything was and what to do. During the drop in he sent updates and pics! We will use him again. Thank you again, Matt!”

“Simply put Alexandria is awesome! She was very prompt in replying to my initial inquiry for walks. She was prompt and very personable for “our meet and greet” to go over my pups routine. She also”

Everett R.

“Becca is awesome! I really appreciate her flexibility in our schedule and her reliable communication! On dog walking days she always sends pictures and a report card so I know how my pup did. On the days we come home after our dog has been on a walk with Becca he is always so happy and relaxed! I would totally recommend her services!”

Erica B.

“An AMAZING dog walker. Oh he treated Scout like his own and I felt so at ease. Scout is an anxious dog but at every moment David took patience and care to make sure she felt safe. Loved reading the comments post walk from David and getting to hear about him discovering Scouts quirks and hearing that she was feeling more comfortable as the days went along to trust him and become her full self! David prioritizes communication so you will always be in the know which I greatly appreciate!”

About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience and calm, confident approach to pet care. I grew up caring for a German Shepherd and, starting at 16, three bulldogs—so I’m comfortable with big personalities, strong breeds, and all the drool that comes with them! I’ve also dog-sat for friends and taken their pups on regular walks, including those with anxiety or special routines. I’m patient, observant, and always make sure pets feel safe and loved while their humans are away. Whether your dog needs a running buddy, your senior cat needs a quiet companion, or your anxious pup just needs someone who understands—I’m here. I’m a morning person with a flexible schedule. Avid runner so can work with high energy dogs. I’m also available for evening walks and check-ins—perfect for pets with routines or extra energy. I’m able to provide more schedule details. I prioritize comfort, safety, and trust. I take time to get to know each pet’s personality and routine—whether that’s quiet companionship for cats or daily walks and play for dogs. On walks, I stay alert and avoid unfamiliar dogs unless I have permission to interact, always keeping your pet’s safety first. For cats, I create a calm, low-stress environment, keep their space tidy, and respect their boundaries.

“Angela was outstanding during our first week of dog walks. She made my nervous dog feel right at home and was on time and thorough every time. Can’t recommend highly enough.”

About: What sets me apart is the warmth and attention I bring to every animal in my care. I’ve worked with animals of all sizes and personalities, including seniors and anxious pups who need a little extra love and patience. Most pets settle in with me quickly because I take the time to understand what makes them feel safe, comfortable, and happy. I’ll play with your pet, stick to their routines, and treat them with the same care and respect you would. Your pets will be in loving, capable hands. I'm also fully insured through Pet Sitters Associates and Red Cross First Aid/CPR certified, so I'm well prepared for any accidents or emergencies. I work full-time from home, which gives me a lot of flexibility to provide care throughout the day. I can usually adjust my schedule around your pet’s routine and am used to balancing work with walks, feeding, and check-ins. That said, I do have occasional heads-down work time or virtual meetings, and I may step out for errands, food, or other appointments. It’s helpful if your pet is comfortable being alone or relaxing independently for up to 6 hours, but I’m happy to talk through what kind of care setup works best. It's important to me that your home feels cared for while you're away, and I do my best to make sure I leave it the way I found it. The more instructions you give me for what you'd like to see in your home, the more I'll be able to do for you during the sit! I'm also fully insured through Pet Sitters Associates and Red Cross First Aid/CPR certified, so I'm well prepared for any accidents or emergencies.

About: I grew up in a household with two dogs and two cats, one of whom grew to a very happy old age. Hence I have experience handling puppies from 6 weeks old to senior dogs. This includes reinforcing healthy potty training behaviors, teething behaviors, oral and topical medication applications, light grooming, and playing. If you're looking for a sitter who has a flexible schedule, loves playing with puppies, is a pet photo junkie, reliable, and trustworthy--then look no further! Please send a message to request a booking today! I work full-time from home and am looking for a side hustle (*COUGH cough getting a heavy dosage of fur baby cuddles) to enrich my day-to-day. With the exception of a couple of days a week I am usually available weekdays, and with special notice I can be available on weekends. Pet visits: I'm based in Emeryville off of San Pablo and am open to visits in Oakland and Berkeley. My main mode of transport is bicycle so anything farther than a 3 mile radius would not be ideal, but still possible as long as we communicate. Extended pet sitting requests (over one hour) are doable as long as there is wifi for me to work with. My ideal window for requests is to be made 24 hours in advance. When you book with me, you book with the promise that how I find your home will be how I leave your home. Pet boarding: I live in a townhouse with stairs, a fenced front yard, and a fenced balcony patio with plenty of room for your pet to roam. The neighborhood where I'm at is conducive for pet walking and the environment is quiet and peaceful. Depending on the request we can map out a cadence of pet updates, photos and videos, as well as other tasks (such as medications, play, feeding, etc). Boarding requests need to be made one week in advance, and cancellations made 48 hours in advance. When you book with me, you are making a booking with the promise that your pet will be cared for and safe, you will have daily updates, and your pet is going home with you.

“Dennis was great! He showed up on time and came before the walk so I could show him around the house and he could meet Frankie. Would definitely hit him up again!”

“Phil is amazing and my crazy rambunctious puppy loves him! I can trust him with my pup with my eyes closed! Would recommend Phil with no reservations!”

About: Hi there! I’m a 22-year-old Berkeley, California native and recent college graduate with a lifelong love for animals. I’ve had both cats and dogs since childhood, and I’ve been the go-to pet sitter for friends and family for years. Whether it’s caring for one pet or several at once, I’m experienced, dependable, and truly enjoy building a bond with every animal I meet. I’ve also handled tasks like walks, feeding, playtime, litter box and crate care, and giving simple medications when needed. Growing up in the Bay Area, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’ll treat your pets with the same care and affection I give my own, and I’m happy to provide updates and photos to give you peace of mind while you’re away. Let’s connect! I’d love to meet you and your pets! Pet care is something I naturally enjoy and make time for in my daily routine. Whether I am starting the day with a walk, checking in during lunch, or winding down with playtime and cuddles, caring for animals is something I truly look forward to. I plan my schedule around making sure pets feel calm, happy, and well taken care of. I’m flexible, reliable, and always make sure their needs come first, whether it’s a quick visit or an overnight stay. I live in a neighborhood perfect for going on walks! We also have automatic feeders and a flowing water fountain for when they need a drink!

About: I have taken care of dogs for friends and neighbors when needed and have my own doggy girl for 3 years now. I will love to take care of your family member as if it was mine! I am pregnant at the moment, so I will be fully available to spend time with them doing whatever they need to feel relieved, happy and entertained! I live on a first floor apartment/townhouse. Neighborhood is quiet and safe, with a nice area for walks. There's a playground near by with some green area for entertainment

“Joelle is AWESOME and I wouldn't be surprised if her schedule fills up quickly because she's so great with dogs. She's professional, warm and affectionate, attentive, punctual, confident, and responsive: everything I look for in the person caring for my pup Thumper. Thumper is 90 lbs and aggressive with other dogs but Joelle didn't hesitate. She uses the commands we learned in our training and it gives me huge peace of mind knowing I can relax while Thumper is under her care. Can't recommend her enough.”

“My dog loves Amber! She takes great care of him, leaves thoughtful notes on the app, and is easy to communicate with. My dog is a rescue and nervous of most people, but he loved her from the start!”
