Pet Sitting & Drop Ins In Peralta-Laney

About: I’ve grown up with both cats and dogs and have been caring for pets almost my entire life. I’ve been a proud cat mom to my fluffy calico, Suki, for the past five years, and she’s completely stolen my heart. I also have three years of experience walking dogs through Wag in San Francisco, working with dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. While I absolutely adore my cat, nothing beats spending time with dogs — especially getting outside for a good walk. Dog walking is something I truly love: meeting new furry friends, getting some movement, and helping dogs stay happy, healthy, and well-cared for. I’m reliable, attentive, and always treat pets as if they were my own. I work from home, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. Dog walks or pet visits are a wonderful and welcome break from my desk and allow me to give pets focused, attentive care. I’m flexible and reliable with scheduling and enjoy building walks and check-ins into my day! I never force a relationship with an animal and always move at their pace when building trust. I’m patient, observant, and respectful of each pet’s comfort level. At the same time, I will be firm and attentive in situations that require diligence, such as crossing streets, navigating other dogs, or maintaining safety routines. My goal is for pets to feel both secure and cared for at all times.

“I felt comfortable with Stephan taking care of my dog. He was very responsive and loved my dog (which I find to be very important) My puppy also seemed to respond to him well which makes my heart smile Thank you so much Stephan!!”

“Fuliang did a great job. I felt my cat Alba was well cared for. I got a nice detailed report on the last day. Could have used a picture of my cat everyday but otherwise I am a very satisfied customer and will use this sitter again for my pet sitting needs.”

“Cyvanah was wonderful with my baby boi Hilo. I especially appreciated the multiple photos and summaries of each day from Cyvanah. It put my mind at ease and I looked forward to each update while away. She bonded with my kitton spectacularly and he was cuddling on her lap in no time. She has a way with cats and I would trust Cyvanah with any fur baby of mine. She is professional, punctual and a great communicator.”

About: I have experience in providing care to both cats and dogs of friends, family members, neighbors and colleagues. I can provide boarding, house sitting, or drop ins for cats. For dogs, I can provide house sitting and drop ins, but no boarding. I work from home, so I’m home all day most of the day. My workload is light enough that I can be present for fur babies under my care throughout the day. I like to chat with pet parents to learn about their personality and behaviors. I can provide feedings, changing water and litter boxes, playing with and entertaining, and giving lots of rubs and cuddles to your fur baby when they’re under my care.

“I was super stressed about finding a sitter for my 11 week old pup last minute for an all day training at work, and even more nervous about having a stranger visit my place! But Alejandra had fantastic reviews and even initiated meet & greet, which I really appreciated. And when she came to meet me and MoMo - boy, did my puppy LOVE her immediately, which made ME love her too!! :) Finally, on the day of the appointment, Alejandra showed up on time, followed all my requests, and took such good care of my puppy for an hour. TYSM Alejandra, I will book with you again next time MoMo needs a sitter!! ❤️❤️❤️”

About: I’ve been looking after dogs most of my life. From seniors and puppies, to chihuahuas and Great Danes I have a great background taking care of all different types of dogs. Having worked with some who need special attention with medications or specific diets I am extremely capable of handling “complicated” situations. Not being able to own a pet in my life right now, I love being surrounded by dogs any chance I can get and take pride in providing great care to the pups in my community! I currently work part time so I am very flexible with scheduling. Weekends tends to be busy for me due to my other job but most of the time I can work around my availability. While I cannot care for dogs in my own home due to roomate issues, I can follow any and all requirements you may have for your own in home care. Backyards are obviously very nice for any dog to get some exercise but leashing and walking dogs is my go to. As an outdoor person I love to walk and depending on the pups physical wellbeing that is my preferred method.

“Stephanie was an amazing cat sitter! As this was my first time leaving for an extended period, I was worried about how my cat would handle being alone for so long and having a stranger come take care of her; however, Stephanie exceeded all expectations. I was provided thorough updates (including the best photos!) of each visit and my cat was well taken care of. Highly recommend Stephanie!”

About: My pet care experience includes looking after cats, dogs, fish, and hamsters. I'm happy to maintain litter boxes, take dogs on long walks and play fetch, spend time with cats, administer pills and medications to any animal (even if they are not excited about it), and provide pets and scritches whenever needed I'm currently working 8-4:30 with open availability every early morning, evening, and weekend from now until June 6! During the summers, my availability will be completely open! I am experienced caring for pets in other people's homes, but unfortunately not in my own because I have two rescued cats of my own. I love taking dogs on walks, feeding and spending time with cats, and looking after all types of animals in your home!

About: I have over 6 years of experience caring for dogs in my community. Although these cuddly canines bring me the most joy, I also have extensive experience pet sitting for cats as well. I understand it can be challenging to trust your pet with a new person, so I treat all animals as if they were my own, providing them with the utmost care and compassion. I've had the pleasure of caring for a wide variety of dogs, allowing me to attune to the individual needs of your furry friend. I have most experience working with the following dog breeds: Pitbulls and pit mixes (both are my personal fav), Boxers, miniature Schnauzers, terriers, and Labradors. As a wellness practitioner, I have the ability to plan pet care around my flexible schedule, allowing me to be fully present with each pet. I have a car and am able to travel to you or take your pet to their preferred walk-ing spot. I have most availability in early mornings, weekends, mid afternoons, and some evenings. I live five minutes walking distance away from Oakland's scenic Lake Merritt, perfect for long walks, socializing with other dogs, and extended stays when needed! I prioritize creating a safe and comfortable environment for each pet in my care. When offering home visits, I follow all care instructions to the T, and provide frequent photo updates so you can feel at ease about what your fur baby is up to.

“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!”

“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.”

About: I've grown up with multiple dogs and am now happy to have my own little corgi-terrier named Karl and a black cat named Billie. I'm my friend's go-to pet sitter and have been loving getting to know the other dogs in the neighborhood. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, large dogs, and reactive dogs. I am available in the evenings on week days and anytime weekends. Please do not book recurring walks if they need to occur earlier on weekdays. I also work as a para educator, so my schedule is flexible, but I will be unavailable for up to 9 hours at a time. Pet care and safety is very important to me. My own dog has very high needs and requires a lot of attention and care, especially on walks, so I completely understand all the peculiar needs of all pets and their individual personalities.

About: I hang out with cats pretty often and would love to spend more time with them! My friend loves my cat sitting so much that she flies me out to Seattle just to catsit! I have a pretty flexible day job and have time to look after pets. I usually like to do drop-ins around midday or later. Weekends work too! I am very respectful of others' homes and love to send pictures of pets to their owners because I know how much they miss their fur babies!
