We hired Becca to walk our lovely senior dog twice a day for a few days because we had to go on a Tahoe trip. She was great and kept us updated with cute pictures of our dog! We had a slight issue with the key fob not working but she was great at communication and problem solved effortlessly. Definitely will hire her again!

Booked another walk with Phil for our high-energy dog, Obi, and would do it again! He came by to walk Obi while we weren’t home and was even gracious enough to feed him dinner.

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.

We had an amazing experience with Crystal! Crystal was a life saver when our family needed help with our super energetic dog, Pinky. She went above and beyond to take him out for long walks, took him to his favorite places, and was attentive to his needs at all times. She shared updates about her trips with him and insights from her experience, you could see the love and care in her eyes a mile away. Really nice person, responsible, and easy to work with, and most importantly, Pinky was head over heals in love with her! Thank you, Crystal!

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.

About: Hi there! I am Jiayi(Judy) and besides being a dog owner (my buddy is a friendly little corgi). I have experience in dog & cat drop-in visit, dog walking and dog sitting, as well as animal care volunteering in animal shelters. Your dog will have fun with my little dog who really loves to make friends with other dogs by wagging her fluffy tail. I’ve had a lot of hands-on experience with dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes through my volunteer work at animal shelter. I will gladly take care of your furry baby while you are away. I’ll follow your directions and schedule to keep things consistent for your pets. I would like to do everything including feeding them with wet or dry food, deep-cleaning their bowls, toys and litter boxes, monitoring their health and behavior, going outside for walks and sunbathing and socializing pets with gentle handling and play. Also, I will be sending photos and videos of your furry baby throughout the service. More info on my experience with each services: 🏡Drop-in Visit -Feeding: I’ll follow your feeding instructions, ensuring to refill both wet and dry food, and I’ll avoid any harmful or allergy-triggering foods. -Cleaning bowls and toys: I’ll clean your pet’s bowls and toys every visit(or as directed). -Litter box cleaning: I’ll provide litter box cleaning every visit and report on any health issue. -Playtime and Snuggles: I’ll play their favorite toys and tricks with your pets, ensuring they have fun and feel loved while you are away. -Multiple pets(dogs and cats): I had experience in check in on my friends’ home with two cats and a dog, so I am comfortable with taking care of pets with different personalities and special instructions. 🐕 Dog Walking -Shy Dogs: I gained experience caring for shy and nervous dogs that need extra patience and attention during my volunteering at shelters. I’ll stay attuned to your dog’s needs and ensure they feel confident and safe with me. -Leash Pullers: I have experience walking large dogs(Huskies and German Shepherds) that tend to pull on the leash. I understand the importance of being patient and consistent when managing leash pulling and will reward your pet for good leash manners. -Reactive dogs:I have extensive experience walking reactive dogs from my time as a dog care volunteer. I’ll always stay attuned to your dog’s behavior during walks, keep a close eye on our surroundings, and avoid triggers to ensure a calm and safe experience. ☀️Doggy Day Care -Feeding: I’ll follow your dog’s specific feeding instructions, ensuring they receive their meals on time and avoiding any foods that could be harmful or trigger allergies. -Potty Breaks: Your dog will have plenty of opportunities for potty breaks throughout the day. I’ll stick to their regular schedule or adjust as needed. -Walks: I’ll take your dog on multiple walks each day. Your dog will have the opportunity to sniff flowers, explore plants, and enjoy the neighborhood in a safe environment.

James was totally responsible, always arriving on time, taking our Ginger for full hour walks. Ginger has always been crazy excited when James arrives. I love getting the route they walked and a photo at the end of the walk. We’ll be calling on James whenever we need a caring fur babe walker.

Alexis is such an awesome sitter and she always goes above and beyond to keep me updated on my dog’s care. Receiving Alexis’ activity summaries and photos are a genuine highlight of my day. It is so awesome to know that my Gloria is in such good hands and having a great time while I am away. Alexis allowed me to take my senior dog out of daycare and she is so much happier now. I will continue booking with Alexis for as long as I can!

Sam was great! It takes a lot to manage two dogs at once especially when one’s an Irish wolfhound & the other’s a 7 month old puppy. They were no problem for him. Sam arrived on time to every walk & communicated any necessary changes with plenty of advance notice. He was even kind enough to accommodate an oversight on my part. I’d definitely book with him again.

About: OVERNIGHT BUNNY BOARDING AND DOG/CAT/BUNNY DROP-IN VISITS! *dog overnight boarding rates are actually for bunny clients. Hi! My name is Danielle, and I'm an animal lover to the core! While I had my special needs rabbit, I realized how hard it was to find an experienced bunny baby-sitter, especially one that was able to administer medications and care. Now that my little bun has passed away, I thought I could offer this much-needed service to other bunny parents out there. I work from home and between having been previously employed at House Rabbit Society Headquarters, and also at an animal hospital for just over 7 years, I have had both actual training and years of experience to bring to the table...well over 20 years! You can trust that I will care for your little one as if they were my own. I have experience with special needs (medications, injections, fluid therapy, food prep, etc.), as well as a valuable understanding of bunny, cat, and dog behaviors and body language. I treat animals like family members and your fur-baby will be no different! I very much look forward to meeting you and your furry loved one! :) I work from home, so I generally have a fairly flexible schedule and am present quite a bit, making it easier to maintain your baby's schedule and care routines and give lots of attention. I offer Bunny Boarding in my home for a single or bonded pair (or trio depending on their space needs). They stay in my office in my condo, which means I will be around them a lot throughout the day, and away from hub-bub of other animals (like you might expect at other boarding locations) so it's easy to keep things quite and low-stress. For drop-in visits for cats/dogs/bunnies, I tend to spend a moment with treats and greetings before going into play or for walks, showing them I am trust worthy. If they enjoy it, I love giving brushies, and using their favorite toys to play. Always happy to do a little focus work for treats, so if you want me to reinforce any training commands, I would be happy to. Cuddles and petties are an essential and core part of the menu (and personally my favorite part), but I always read body language and energy cues as to how much affection they are interested in at the moment.

About: Since I was in elementary school, I have always had a family dog or cat. Animals are a man’s best friend and I see my animals as my babies. I treat all animals with love, and make sure give the best care possible. I am a recent St. Mary’s college graduate. During my search for full time work, I have plenty of time to care for your fur babies! When you need me I’ll be there! I currently have an indoor cat who is dog friendly! She loves to play and snuggle and will help your pets feel right at home. I also have a loving partner who is more than happy to look after my baby while I take care of yours.

So I went on vacation for a week and needed someone to take care of my cat Boba. I asked Phuong to watch Boba for me and she did great job! Boba has a strict feeding schedule/diet and a lot of energy. I got plenty of updates and lots of pictures of them playing while I was away. Boba was very comfortable hanging out with Phuong. If I ever needed to leave for another trip I would hit up Phuong to watch over boba for me again.

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.

I am available for drop-in visits, walks or day care for most of the weekdays, weekends and holidays. For Day Care : I live in a condo with my husband at Emeryville and there is a safe courtyard and a large dog park downstairs, where we can run, take sunbathing, play fetch and enjoy life together! I will ensure your pet’s safety, wellbeing and happiness are my number one priority. I’ll follow up your schedule to keep things consistent for your furry baby and keep the unit clean and cozy. I’ m always happy to send as many photos and videos updates as you’d like. **My rate covers up to 10 daytime hours. Inquire about additional hours or night care** For Drop-in Visits/Walks: I will follow your rules and take care of your home every time I enter or leave. Also, I will be sending photos and videos of your furry baby throughout the service. I can do feeding, cleaning, playing toys and different kinds of care depending on our meet&greet discussion. I also have reliable transportation so I can travel to you.

James was totally responsible, always arriving on time, taking our Ginger for full hour walks. Ginger has always been crazy excited when James arrives. I love getting the route they walked and a photo at the end of the walk. We’ll be calling on James whenever we need a caring fur babe walker.

Alexis is such an awesome sitter and she always goes above and beyond to keep me updated on my dog’s care. Receiving Alexis’ activity summaries and photos are a genuine highlight of my day. It is so awesome to know that my Gloria is in such good hands and having a great time while I am away. Alexis allowed me to take my senior dog out of daycare and she is so much happier now. I will continue booking with Alexis for as long as I can!

Sam was great! It takes a lot to manage two dogs at once especially when one’s an Irish wolfhound & the other’s a 7 month old puppy. They were no problem for him. Sam arrived on time to every walk & communicated any necessary changes with plenty of advance notice. He was even kind enough to accommodate an oversight on my part. I’d definitely book with him again.

In addition to Danielle's experience with her personal pets (cats, bunnies, dogs, etc), Danielle has years of experience working in a veterinarian hospital. She has watched my two rescue dogs for me and I know they will be well cared for. Plus, Danielle can handle their quirks, including my boy who is not always great with other dogs and my girl who has separation anxiety. She knows just how to work with them so I feel comfortable. I just wish she lived closer!

About: Since I was in elementary school, I have always had a family dog or cat. Animals are a man’s best friend and I see my animals as my babies. I treat all animals with love, and make sure give the best care possible. I am a recent St. Mary’s college graduate. During my search for full time work, I have plenty of time to care for your fur babies! When you need me I’ll be there! I currently have an indoor cat who is dog friendly! She loves to play and snuggle and will help your pets feel right at home. I also have a loving partner who is more than happy to look after my baby while I take care of yours.
