“Great communication and attention for our pup from Shanley, we appreciate having her drop by to give Gemmy some exercise and a break from home!”
“Hannah “JoJo” is such a bright, loving energy. She is so willing to work with any dog. I feel peace that she’s able to take my little buddy out for a walk daily. She is also really patient as my pup was nervous at first and has now opened up to her. She will work with any type of dog and make sure each and every one of them feels loved. Thanks for all the updates throughout the walks and being so communicative. Keep up the great work!”
About: I'm a nature lover and natural animal lover—especially doggies. Over the years, I’ve loved and cared for my my own pets: dogs, a rabbit and a cat. Currently, I help care for my aging mom’s little senior Shitzu: weekly walks at a nearby parks, vet care and lite grooming. Comfortable with harness attaching and removal. My own beloved dog passed away a couple of years ago, I still enjoy encounters with other dogs on my daily walks, giving ear rubs and back scratches—dogs just bring me joy. Currently, I’m retired, so my availability is flexible for you and your pet’s needs. I have experience caring for various breeds and size (small to medium size dogs), but I can handle larger senior dogs. I routinely walk at various designated parks and trails in the East Bay. When I pet-sit in my apartment, I inquire about pets regular routine first: walking, feeding, and medication (if necessary). I require they provide their pet’s own: bedding, sleepwear, food and treats and up to date vaccines. I also ask for emergency info: Vet, pet-owner (s), and an alternate contact. Finally, I will send regular updates via text, pictures or videos of your pets outings or stays—live if you like!
“Christine is detail-oriented and incredibly caring in her approach! She was communicative throughout, asked good questions as needed, and took extra care to ensure my dog Ellie trusted her and had a good time. An excellent helping hand!”
“Shelly continues to be the best! We have new baby at home and our dog lights up every time Shelley arrives for a walk. 10/10 highly recommend”
“Stephanie did a great job walking Daisy. She always showed up when she said she would. Daisy is looking forward to more walks with Stephanie.”
“Esteban is so fabulous. Super kind and friendly - our dog is all wagging tail when Esteban shows up. Would highly recommend him and plan to use him again and again!”
“Stephanie has been so great with my dog Maya. After starting a new job and moving to a new city, I didn’t have any support to help with my dog. Stephanie has been so helpful with all these changes. Maya can be a bit nervous around new people but she warmed up to Stephanie really fast and gets so excited to see her! Stephanie is so great- she is a very reliable person, trustworthy, a great communicator and great with dogs. I’m so happy I found her and that Maya really enjoys her company!”
“Matt was excellent with our dog. Promote and punctual. The pictures should how much fun she was having with him. I would highly recommend Matt.”
“Kaiya is an excellent communicator! Kaiya is responsible and I really appreciate the photos she sends of the walks. Rilo looks like she is having a great time.”
“We just moved and we’re in need of a last minute dog sitter. Megan was super responsive and made everything so easy for us. She asked all of the right questions and made sure that she knew the info she needed to watch our dog as well as our house. She kept us updated the whole time we were gone which made us feel even more relax while away. Upon coming home, we could tell our pup had a good time with Megan and our house was in the same condition that we left it. We are thrilled to have found Megan! Thank you for taking care of our pup!”
“Adam is fantastic and does a proper walk. My dogs were tired and looked forward to their walks with him. I'll definitely request his services again.”
“Erin was awesome!! Super communicative, and our dog loved Erin instantly when they met. We were super grateful to know that Penny Moon was in such good and caring hands. Thank you so much, Erin!”
“Natalie is super communicative and easy to work with. She’s very respectful in my home and always confirms all the tasks before leaving. I am definitely a repeat customer !”
About: Dogs have always been an important part of my life. I grew up with large and medium sized ranch dogs, and have taken care of small dogs growing up. I have experienced the full spectrum of canine care from puppies to end of life. Frequently I take care of dogs for family members as well and I love puppies! I have experience aiding in puppy training (not a certified professional but can help continue your home training), walking, feeding, bathing dogs and giving canine medication. I fully believe that dogs are meant to be outside and exercised as much as they are able for the best quality of life. From hikes, parks, walks around the block and cuddles, I’ll be there for your pup! I’m a graduate student therefore my availability for walks and drop ins, is strict to Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays. But flexible during the hours of those days. Some evenings can be arranged on Thursdays and Fridays on a case by case basis. I can only offer daytime boarding in my home on Tuesdays as that is when I have online classes. Currently have some flexibility before classes start. I do really well with instructions if you have any specific needs for your pup! I am willing to clean up after puppy messes as well during puppy drop ins. For pups staying with me, I have a large fenced in backyard for your pet to lounge in. It is mostly made of brick and synthetic grass so your pup with stay clean with me! There is also a large dog park located a 10 minute walk away from me.
About: Hi! I’m a passionate animal lover with a Bull Terrier of my own, plus experience caring for Beagles, Dobermans, and Chihuahuas. I offer dog sitting, walking, and horse care with plenty of love and attention. Whether your pup needs a fun walk, some quality company while you’re away, or your horse needs grooming and care, I’m here to help. I treat every animal like family and can’t wait to meet your furry and hoofed friends! I only work three days a week so I have plenty of extra time to care for your pets while you’re away or tied up at work. I keep pets safe and comfy at your place, follow your instructions, and stay alert on walks. You’ll always get updates so you can relax and know they’re in good hands.
About: I grew up with many different dogs of different sizes, ages and energy levels and have pet sit and dog walked for a variety since then. Dogs seem to easily trust me and friends and neighbors often trust me with their pets because I adjust my approach to each dog to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I am calm under pressure and genuinely adore all pups. I’m currently working part time as a hostess meaning that I have lots of free time to devote to dog walking and the best care possible. I love going on hikes and walks either way so dog walking will fit easily into the routine I already have established. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours their safety and well-being always come first. I follow any instructions closely and make sure pets are never left unattended in unsafe situations. I keep a calm and clean space and am careful to remove anything that could be a hazard. When pet sitting at a client’s home, I respect the space and maintain the pets routine to help them feel secure and at ease. I’m mindful about doors, gates, and leashes to prevent escapes and keep everyone safe.
About: I’ve owned and cared for dogs and cats my entire life. There have always been at least three animals in my household since the day I was born. In addition to growing up with pets, I’ve also provided pet care and nanny services for several years. I’m comfortable working with animals of all ages—from energetic puppies to senior pets—and pride myself on being attentive, loving, and reliable I’m not currently working full-time, so I am quite flexible on both week days and weekends to care for your fur baby for short and long term periods. I commit to fostering a peaceful and tranquil environment in your home, just as I would in my own. I understand the importance of creating a safe, respectful, and loving atmosphere where your pet feels comfortable, secure, and well cared for at all times
About: Hi! I’m Missy, a lifelong animal lover based in Oakland with years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and reptiles of all sizes and personalities. I've been my friends and family go-to person for dog/cat/house sitting for years. As a pet owner myself, I take great pride in my level of dog training utilizing positive reinforcement methods, high value treats, praise, or whatever makes your dog excited. I trained my dog from 8 weeks old and followed strict positive reinforcement training and he is a really good and obedient dog with great recall and many other tricks up his paw. I've had experience with.... - Positive reinforcement training - Dogs with leash aggression - Dogs who resource guard - Anxious dogs - Medications (diabetic, shots, inhalers meds) for Cats & Dogs - Dogs who have separation anxiety I'm currently unemployed and looking to add as many new clients as possible! Currently I do an East Lake/Ivy Hill dog walk with 3-4 dogs in the mornings at 8am. I'd love to get clients that are within a 10-15 minute walk from my house near Bella Vista Park. I have a fenced in yard and space in my home to separate animals as needed. Ideally if you need boarding our animals would meet. My dog is a calm 4 year old spaniel and will tell a younger/hyper dog to chill with a bark. He does enjoy some rough-housing with the right dog but mainly you can find him sleeping in his bed. I have a vehicle and know where the nearest Emergency vets are located.
About: I have always been surrounded with dogs ever since I was a kid. My parents always relied on me to walk my dogs every morning and evening. I’m a recent grad, currently looking for jobs. I stay at home a lot of the times, but I would love to take your dog on a walk in a park. I don’t have pets at my apartment, so your dog will be safe from other dogs. My apartment has a fenced garden, so your pet won’t be holding in their pee and poo.

“La Donna would be a great addition to your team as she is a lover of all animals, especially the 4 legged, tail-wagging ones... Her cat "Tyrone" who she had for 15 years, and her dog "Ziggy" who recently passed away were her loves in life and they were spoiled rotten..lol. She also helps care for our mom's dog "Simba", and he appreciates all the love, hugs, walks, and treats she gives to him. I'm sure you won't be disappointed with the TLC she'll show the animals as well as the good customer service to the owners.”

Francesca S.
“I can’t recommend Francesca highly enough! From the moment we met, it was clear she had a natural connection with animals. Our dog, Cali is usually shy around new people, not an issue with Francesca, they bonded right away. Cali wasn’t just well taken care of, she was genuinely happy, which we could see from the daily updates, photos, and videos Francesca sent. Francesca truly goes above and beyond, treating every pet like her own. She’s reliable, attentive, and clearly has a deep love for animals. Knowing Cali was in such capable and loving hands gave us so much peace of mind. We’ll absolutely be booking with her again! She also takes care of and rides horses, so you know she's excellent with all pet sensibilities and can handle dogs no matter where they are on the aggression spectrum.”
Alexandra B.
“Pepper (Alexandra) has looked after my pets before, and I highly recommend her. She’s super responsible, kind, and great at making animals feel safe and happy. My pets absolutely love her. She gives them so much attention and care, and I never have to worry for a second. She’s the kind of person who notices all the little things and makes sure each pet feels special. Anyone who books Pepper is in great hands.”
Marie S.
“Marie is a caring, trustworthy person with a lifelong love for animals. She grew up with both dogs and cats, and her calm, loving presence around them is immediately clear. She’s attentive, responsible, and treats every pet as if they were her own. If you’re looking for someone who will care for your pet with genuine love and dedication, Marie is an outstanding choice.”
Melissa C.
“Missy is a natural with dogs—calm, caring, and super dependable. She always show up on time and treats every pup as if they were her own. My pups love spending time with Missy!”
Hanicka S.
“Hanicka is a very loving animal person. Since she was young, she's always approached cats and dogs, excited to meet them. When she finally got her own dog (Saphi), she was patient with dog training, careful with food choices, cleaned the Saphi regularly and checked up with the vets asap if there was something wrong. She even brought home a senior dog (Sammy) that had been living in a factory for most of his life. Thanks to Hanicka, Sammy got to spend his last few years in a loving home with Saphi. I would highly recommend her for dog or cat sitting. She is very attentive and will do her best to take care of your loved ones.”

Kelsey has been flexible with communication and arranging dog walks! She was also on time and reliable! Maebee had a great time.
Helen was super friendly, communicative, and attentive. She took the time to get to know our dog and our preferences, and I felt so comfortable having her walk our pup. I would ask Helen to walk our dog again in a heartbeat!
Madeline took care and provided some great photos while on walk, which helped put my mind at ease while traveling. On time and courteous. 10/10
Very understanding of how our dog was feeling and his needs. We are looking forward to having Bella dog sit for us!
Our pup Kobe immediately took a liking to Ariana! She was very warm and patient with him. Really appreciate finding a wonderful sitter in Ariana!
Natalie was very good with our lab! She is reliable and flexible. We felt very comfortable putting Natalie in charge of our pup!
Inertia was a lifesaver! She swooped in when our usual walker had to go out of town unexpectedly and made it so easy and stress free to make sure my dog was taken care of, including giving medications. She went above and beyond spoiling our guy and I will definitely reach out to her again in the future.
G’la was great! I especially appreciated her clear, communication, friendliness, and willingness to walk Nina last minute. I would request her again.
Dane arrived on time, sent timely responses, and was extremely easy to communicate with. He was very friendly with our dog Logan and sent a picture from the walk as well. Logan looked happy when he was back. We’re looking forward to the weekly walks.
Hollie was very caring of Luna and spent a lot of time with her walking and getting to know her. Luna was quite happy by the end.
Gwen is wonderful with our big dog - she is comfortable taking her on both on and off leash adventures and our dog adores her 🩷
