Pet Sitting in Pleasanton

About: I’ve had dogs in my life for over 20 years and understand how hard it is to trust someone with your pet. When your dog is with me, you can expect attentive, experienced care, proactive communication, and the peace of mind that comes from knowing your dog is safe, loved, and well looked after. I have a very structured routine with my two dogs and work from home, which gives me a lot of flexibility. I have ample time for walks, play, attention, and plenty of cuddles throughout the day. I customize my care based on each dog’s individual needs. You know your dog best, and I work proactively with owners to understand routines, preferences, and any special considerations so I can provide consistent, attentive care in your absence.

“Cigdem is great! Today’s morning we can’t find our cat through camera,so we asked Cigdem to help! She was very responsive and communicative. Finally we found our silly Terry :)”

“Mitchell was an excellent sitter for my sweet Penny. He took the time to be extra sweet to her, which is exactly what she needed without me there. Highly recommend Mitchell's services. He's a true professional and service oriented”

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 15 years of dog walking and sitting experience. I’ve worked for a professional dog-walking company, leading both neighborhood walks and adventurous hikes. I’ve also cared for my own dog with epilepsy, giving medication three times a day and providing gentle, patient care. We’re a warm, loving little family who adore all kinds of animals. I live with my husband and our 4-year-old son, who was born into a home with a cat and dog and has grown up loving animals and nature. At home, we don’t currently have a dog or cat, just fishes and a frog 🐠🐸. After losing our beloved dog, we haven’t been ready to adopt another one, which means your pup will get all the love and attention they deserve while staying with us! I can care for your dog at your home or mine, in any weather, for walks, hikes, playtime, or full-time sitting. I can also provide care for cats while you’re away. Your furry friends will be treated with love, patience, and plenty of attention — maybe even spoiled just a little. 😉 I currently work only 2–3 hours a day during weekdays, so I have plenty of free time to care for your little one. I’m flexible on weekends as well, which means I can easily adjust my schedule for walks, playtime, or drop-in visits. Your furry baby will always get my full attention and care. I completely understand how it feels to miss your little one when you’re away — I’ve been there too. That’s why I’ll keep you updated with frequent photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.

“Chalise was wonderful. Very nice & professional. We had an ant infestation while we were gone & she took extra steps to get it under control until we returned home. I would hire her again. Thanks, Chalise!”

About: I provide calm, attentive care and genuinely enjoy spending unhurried time with both dogs and cats. My focus is on helping pets feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while their owners are away. I have many years of experience with dogs—from childhood, to my own dogs, to fostering long-term dogs through animal rescue, including dogs recovering from injury or past trauma. This experience has taught me patience, good judgment, and how to read an animal’s cues and adjust to their individual needs. My schedule is very flexible, which makes it easy for me to accommodate your routine and your pet’s individual needs. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and look forward to giving your pet plenty of attention, companionship, and care. I currently don’t have pets of my own, so visiting pets get my full attention. Pets are welcome in my home, and I have a secure, fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time. If your dog is crate trained, I have a kennel available from previous dog-sitting experience with my son’s dog. I’m also very comfortable caring for dogs who are not crate trained. I enjoy neighborhood walks and light trail walks when appropriate for your dog’s age, energy level, and comfort. Also my two pet loving sons, who are in college, are in the home. They won't be involved in primary care of your pet and they will give your pet space unless you would like them to also spend time with your pet. If your pet is nervous around men we have plenty of space to easily accommodate keeping your pet with me in a separate areas. Please note my home has exterior and interior stairs and maybe not be suitable for all pets.

About: I work from home and nothing brings me more joy than having a dog in the house with me! I grew up with dogs and love going outside for walks, snuggles before bed, and giving lots of pets and attention. Because I work from home, I have lots of time to take dogs outside for walks and fresh air. I have the weekends off and love to get outside for hikes, long walks, and beach days when weather allows. I do live in an apartment without a yard, but I’m able to frequently get outside. I live close to downtown Pleasanton with a good mix of downtown and neighborhood walks available.

“Highly recommend Amy. She is thorough, follows instructions and is very caring toward my kitty. My kitty enjoyed her company. Thanks Amy for caring for my kitty!”

“Megan was a wonderful pet sitter, and I wouldn't hesitate to work with her again! We booked pretty last minute for a trip. She was super responsive and made time to come meet us and our kitty, and we were confident we were leaving things in good hands. We got regular updates and photos and it was clear that Megan and our kitty enjoyed their visits together.”

About: I love helping others, and that extends to both pets and their owners. My goal is to make sure your pet is well cared for while also giving you peace of mind and a stress-free experience 🐶 I’m a part-time Starbucks barista and student with a flexible schedule. I offer boarding Monday–Thursday, along with walks, playtime, and pup cups all week ☕🐾 With a fenced yard for safe play and a calm, cozy home for naps, your pup gets the best of both worlds. I will always supervise and pay close attention!

“Darcy was one of the best sitters we’ve ever had! She followed all of our instructions and was very communicative. We have a shy kitty and reactive dog, yet she made sure to meet each of their individual needs. Darcy went above and beyond for our babies and we can’t thank her enough. We will definitely be booking again!”

About: They say to love what you do, right? So I figured, why not make a little extra cash doing something I truly love—because let’s be honest, four kids in ⚽️ isn’t cheap! I’ve been around animals my whole life, from cats and dogs to barnyard friends. These days, I share my home with an Italian Greyhound, two kitties, and my four lovely kids. I’m detail-oriented and treat every pet like part of the family. Whether it’s a drop-in visit, a nice long walk to burn off energy and enjoy the fresh air, or some playtime and snuggles, your furry fam will get plenty of love, care, and attention while you’re away. I work from home, giving me the flexibility to provide drop-in visits for feedings, playtime, and extra attention. I love making sure your furry fam feels safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. When caring for your pets in your home, I am detail-oriented and treat everything with respect and care. I follow instructions, leave things tidy, and ensure your furry fam feels loved and safe. I believe in leaving things better than I found them and treating others’ homes and pets the way I would want mine treated.

About: I have owned dogs since I was 10 years old and cats since the mid 1970's. I have cared for, fed, walked, played with not only my own, but for friends and neighbors as well. I'm currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to walk and care for your pets. Mid-mornings to early afternoons some days, all day on other days. I am currently not available to care for your pets in my home due to having 3 dogs and 2 cats already. Anything can change in the future though.

“Anne was great caring my shy cat who likes to hide from strangers. She did a great job communicating with me and sending photos. I would definitely use her again.”

About: Ive taken care of dogs since I was in elementary school, and I also have a schnauzer mix thats turning 16 this year. Friends trust me to help walk, feed and play with their dogs. I work part time so I will have plenty of time to take care of pets. Having time to walk them and play with them will be no problem. I have a fenced backyard with a friendly 16 year old medium sized schnauzer mix. We currently don’t have a crate at home so if your dog needs to be crated I can’t do that.

About: I treat every pet as if they were my own, with patience, kindness, and attention to their unique needs. I make sure pets feel safe, loved, and happy while their owners are away. As a stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m usually home during the hours when many owners are away at work or busy, so I can provide regular walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship . Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I truly enjoy spending that time caring for animals. In my home, pets have a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where they can relax and feel at ease. I provide fresh water, daily playtime, and outdoor breaks as needed. I keep their schedule consistent with what they’re used to—whether it’s feeding, walks, or quiet rest—so they feel secure and happy. Most importantly, I give them plenty of love and attention, making sure they feel like part of the family during their stay.”

About: I have taken care of senior pups, dogs with specific medical conditions/medications, puppies, and more. I volunteer at the animal shelter and have boarded and walked dogs for the past 4 years in San Francisco, as well as for the past year here in the tri valley. I am also trained in handling reactive dogs as well as aiding new owners in behavioral training! I am a currently studying to become a vet. I have a dog and enjoy taking him out on walks to the park by my house and weekend excursions (hiking nearby, beach days, etc!) Your pup is of course welcome to join or have a nice day in with us :) I have a fenced yard and have a small dog of my own to welcome your pup into my house. We keep all food and loose items out of reach from him, as he is naturally curious.

“Xiuqi was excellent. Oreo is shy and doesn’t warm up to strangers. Recently we had a trip planned and our regular sitter was unavailable. This was cause for concern as Oreo has never had another sitter. We met with Xiuqi and thought she would be a good fit. Well over 6 days Oreo fell in love. We probably have a new sitter. We received updates and pictures and videos. Very reassuring.”

About: I’ve always had a huge heart for animals since I was a kid. I treat pets as if they were my own and respect their space when needed. I’ve worked with different such as livestock (horses, goats, sheep, cows) and your typical domesticated pet. I currently don’t have any pets of my own, so having the opportunity to watch someone else’s pet brings me tremendous joy. I currently work full time at a vet hospital Tuesday-Saturdays so it is really nice to be able to come home after work to something warm and fluffy. While in a clients home I always check out the home first so I can feel comfortable and see all possible exits. For pets to gain my trust I always let them sniff me first and treat them as if they were mine. I give them space when they need it. I have high respect for an owners home as well and treat it as if it were my home.

About: I know how important it is to trust someone with your dog, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’m reliable, communicative, and always focused on your pet’s safety and happiness. Whether it’s walks, drop-ins, or just hanging with you pup, I make sure your dog gets the attention, exercise, and care they deserve each time! Tell me all about your dog's personality and needs and I'll be happy to accommodate. I've spent the last year caring and training my own pup full time. He's learned basic commands (sit, stay, up, down, lay down, come) and enjoys playing games like hide-and-seek within our home. I know all about the puppy phase and struggles with teething and their high energy and need for extra sleep as well as older dog's careful routines and need for company. I am a stay-at-home dog mom so my schedule is open and accommodating! I'm free on weekdays and weekends from 10am to 8pm. I have a bernedoodle puppy at home who is crate trained, walked daily, fed 3 times a day, and enjoys hide and seek and training games. I'll care for you dog as much as I care for my own. During house visits I'm capable of following your dogs particular routine for feedings, bathroom, walks, play, and sleep schedule. We can can enjoy all their favorite activities together to ensure their comfort and safety as that is my top priority.
