Pet Sitting & Drop Ins in Patten, Oakland

“Maia was great with our super shy 10 month old kitties. She provided prompt communication, adorable photos, and took good care of our home. We're looking forward to having her back here again soon. Thanks Maia!”

“We have had Shanley come over for drop in visits regularly over the last few weeks. She has been wonderful with Misty, trusted, respectful and communicative. Her first visit, we had a bit of a snafu (completely our fault), and she handled it with grace and calmness (she was way more calm than me and I appreciated that!). We are so thankful we found her and we welcome her to “Team Misty!””

“Anais was a great sitter! I always feel more comfortable leaving my cats when I know that they are in the hands of a true animal lover, and Anais is definitely that. She was a great communicator and able to follow instructions on giving our special needs cat an inhaler dose every day. She event went above and beyond by trimming my cats’ nails! I would definitely book with her again.”

“Analicia is a great sitter - communicative, reliable, and thorough - and I feel comfort knowing that my cat is going to be well looked after while I'm away. Thank you Analicia!”

“Cynthia did two drop visits in one day with my sweet Edwyn pup. She kept me updated each step of the way and left my keys in the proper spot. I especially appreciated her photos and walk summaries. Thank you, Cynthia!”

“I've been a client of Kye's for seven years. He's watched my two cats, a chaotic crew of chickens, and my 2 naughty dogs (pitty mixes raised on a wolf sanctuary). My partner and I feel so confident and safe leaving our animal family in his care. He provides excellent and prompt updates, he's respectful of our space, and our home is always cleaner than we left it! He also has quite the green thumb and cares for our plant friends as well. 10/10 would recommend!”

“Dennis is amazing with my girls, he's our go-to person! Will always rebook with him”

About: Our pets are family. My approach is a balance of attention and simple structure that makes for happy socialization. My partner and I have always had cats and dogs and I have experience with everything from puppyhood to the special healthcare challenges of senior pets (including administration of oral meds and injected insulin) I used to walk dogs back in college as a part-time job. Now, I am excited to make some new 4-legged friends and get out for some exercise together. I work from home part-time and with a very flexible schedule. I do long walks in the morning and afternoon and, if staying with us, in addition to walks, your doggie will have full access to the yard during the day to sunbathe and play. If house sitting at yours, I will be on hand with your pet at a minimum in the morning, for a few hours mid-day, and then all evening and night. We have a large fenced yard and two small, friendly pups (9lb young female yorkie and 12lb female coton de tulear) to play with. "The girls" are not crated at night, but I am happy to set up your pup's normal sleeping area if staying with us. For dog walking, I do 30-45 minute adventures with priority given to clients located in Oakland's Laurel, Dimond, Maxwell Park, and Redwood Heights neighborhoods. Ideally, your dog loves walking with some friends, but we can customize for personal pup needs.

“Emma, is really one of the best pet sitters we’ve ever had. She is really professional and most importantly caring and loving towards our dogs. She is really in her element with animals as she is proactive about giving them plenty of attention and walks. We are so happy to consider her our primary go-to dog care taker. We’ve actually gone so far as to have her fly all the way out to our home in Hawaii… she’s that good!”

“Melina is great with all of our pets! She kept us updated and sent photos of all four pets for each drop in. My dog loves her and even the shyest cat comes out to see her during her visits.”

“Laura has been an amazing caregiver for my dog, Reese, time and time again. I’ve hired her multiple times during holidays and work trips, and she always exceeds my expectations. Reese feels comfortable, happy, and completely trusts her. I’m usually nervous about leaving my dog with strangers or at dog hotels, but Laura provides the perfect solution by staying at my home so Reese can remain in his own familiar space. It’s never easy to be away from my dog for an extended period, but knowing Laura’s dedication and love for dogs gives me peace of mind. I highly recommend her!”

“Victoria was very punctual, professional and kind to my kitties. She send pictures and videos everyday. Would definitely recommend.”

“Sarah was very sweet with our kitty, providing food and play and sending plenty of photos to keep us updated. Our cat really seemed to like her, too. Highly recommended!”

About: I don’t just care for your pets, I treat them as part of my family. I love spending time with them, whether it’s playing, resting, or giving them attention, and I want your pet to feel loved at all times. I am currently available to care for your pets at any time, whether it’s during the day, night, or weekends. I offer flexible scheduling to fit your needs and ensure your pets receive the care and attention they deserve. I know that the most important thing is pet care, and one of those is their feeding. I can provide food at any necessary time, in case they have a specific feeding schedule, and I can do it without any problem. I will also dedicate enough time for play or bathroom breaks.

“Kristi is amazing... My four doggos absolutely adored her! She was willing to come to my home last minute for a meet and greet and drop in on the weekend to check on them. Kristi has a special way with animals and is very caring. I received live updates and photos during her visit which left me feeling relieved knowing they were in good hands. 10 stars. I highly recommend her for your pets needs:)”

“Karla is a lovely, kindhearted, and respectful person. Karla has dogs of her own and loves them to death, I never seen anyone have such a love for being with/around animals as karla. Great person to have to walk your dogs if you really care about your pets being cared for.”

About: I enjoy taking dogs on walks and hikes and to dog parks (if allowed). I also have experience with dogs with anxiety. I give medications to my own dog and cat. I would love to provide drop in care to your cat(s) I have flexibility with my job and work from home two days a week. I am available mornings, evenings, and weekends. I am used to taking my dogs on morning and evening walks and mid day walks, weather permitting. NOTE: my 3 dogs are currently out of state. I have a fenced in back yard and my dog friendly cats are currently out of state. My cats are dog friendly but can be separated at my house if needed.

“Janea was attentive to my cats and provided both written updates along with pictures. She is definitely someone I would want to book again knowing my cats will be in good hands.”

“Kerri took great care of my very shy cat, Elio. She proved herself to be very reliable and even indulged my weird preference of what tv shows/movies I usually leave on for him. Most importantly I can tell that she is a true animal lover and I will definitely ask her to look after my baby anytime I need a cat sitter in the future.”

“I worked with Hannia when she participated in our youth employment program at Lao Family Community Development, Inc. During her time with us, she successfully completed 100 hours of paid internship. She was placed at Peralta Hacienda Historical Park, where she demonstrated great responsibility and initiative. Her duties included organizing and managing interactive activities for children who attended weekly programs at the park. She also took on the responsibility of preparing, loading, and unloading decorations and food for events, and maintained the cleanliness of the park. She cleaned out the trash and other clean up duties. Hannia has an excellent work ethic; she is currently enrolled at San Jose State University and is eager to gain more experience. Her sweet and kind demeanor, along with her ability to connect well with children and her love for animals. She even has a dog of her ow, make her an ideal candidate for pet caregiver.”
