Pet Sitting Ralph Bunche

“I have an anxious pup and Tiffany did great taking care of all his needs during a drop in visit. He usually doesn't like most people but warmed up to her quickly. Recommend reaching out to her if you also have an anxious dog!”

About: Hello! My name is Shanna (like banana) a non-profit consultant based in the Bay Area. I love animals and have lots of experience caring for pets (cats and dogs) either in your home or at my house. I'm interested in helping you feel peace of mind knowing that your fur friend is taken care of. Please ask me any questions. I'm looking for opportunities that make sense with my schedule, and I'm happy to accommodate your needs. Thank you for your consideration. I'm currently working on a contract basis and primarily remote so I have time to stop by your home or house-sit as long as there is reliable Wi-Fi. Typically, when pet-sitting for friends, I will feed, walk, or change out litter boxes as often as needed. If I am not staying at the owner's home full-time, I will make sure the animal gets sufficient interaction and love daily. If an animal is staying in my home during the day, I have a fenced-in, locked yard (though I generally wouldn't have an animal outside without me) and there is also a dog-friendly park less than two blocks from my home.

About: I provide calm, attentive care with a focus on routine and safety. I understand that every dog is different, and I aim to keep their environment steady and comfortable while you’re away. I enjoy taking dogs on regular walks and occasional hikes, giving them time to explore while keeping things structured and safe. I adjust to each dog’s energy level, whether they prefer an active outing or a more relaxed pace. I’m organized, communicative, and reliable, and I take pride in making pet parents feel comfortable and informed. You can expect clear updates, thoughtful communication, and plenty of photos so you can feel at ease while your dog is in my care.

About: I've been pet sitting/babysitting/house sitting since I was young. I am very reliable and have no problem communicating any problems that arise or questions I may have. I have experience in family/house management as well. Let me know if you have any questions! I look forward to hearing from you! My fiancee and I just moved to the area, so I have lots of free time and availability to give each pet the time they deserve. I am extremely reliable and am willing to work with any schedule and around when you would prefer your pets have attention and their needs taken care of. I understand how important pets are in someone's life and it's a serious responsibility.

About: From small breeds to large breeds, I've taken care of dogs since adopting our first family dog in 2001. Currently a dog dad to an 11-year-old cattle dog mix named Mia who brings joy to my life! Will treat your dog with the care I give my own. Pet care fits into my routine daily, having my own dog named Mia. We go for walks three times a day and I live plenty of time in my schedule to give her the love she deserves! Will care for your dog within your guidelines and what you establish is the best approach. I'm an experienced dog owner myself and can give your pet the attention they deserve!

“Everything appeared to be taken care of to my specifications and my cats were happy and healthy when I got home! Matthew was also very communicative and friendly throughout my time being gone. Will book with him again!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs, cats, and other types of pets since I was very young and I’ve always had a great passion for it. I am unable to care for your pets in my own home but I am happy to come to you. I teach three days a week and mainly in the afternoon. I am often most available on Tuesdays and Fridays, but have time before and after work to check in. I will always work hard to ensure your pets are well cared for, comfortable, and have fun while you are away. I can send updates and photos as often as you'd like.

About: I'll make sure your high energy doggo gets a good run or walk around the block. Their fitness and happiness matters. I'll also make sure they're treated as if they're a valued member of my family. Cats will get premium brushes and snuggles if they give me their consent. I work a flexible full time job. I can walk/ run your doggo in the morning or the evening. I can also do pick up and drop off at a place of your choosing if you plan on being local running amd or running errands. I have a doggie bed and a couple of toys to keep them occupied. I also have Lake Merritt about a 5 min walk away so they'll be able to run and enjoy some green.

About: I have work with dogs my entire life, but currently I run a small dog daycare/boarding facility at my home with my husband so our sole focus is caring for our pups and we will happily give your pup all our love and attention! I’m responsible, respectful and very organized which allows us to run a safe and stable home environment for each one of our dogs. I’m available daily for dog walks, daycare and/or boarding. My current small daycare group is about 3-5 regular dogs that come on different weekdays. I’m a firm believer in clear, calm communication with any dog that I am working with and I only use positive reinforcement. My yard and entire property is fully fenced with a 6ft wood privacy fence and there is an extra gate between the front and back yards for extra safety. I’m available pretty much anytime for dog walk or boarding and I currently run a small group dog daycare in my home with my partner between the hours of 7:30am and 5:30pm Monday to Friday. My current group of regulars (that come varying weekdays) includes extremely well socialized dogs of all sizes most of which are between 3 and 6 years old. It’s a great environment for a dog to build social skills and confidence in a calm, well adjusted pack. I live in West Oakland (very close to the Bart station!) and my home and yard are very secure with a 6ft tall redwood fence surrounding the entire property. My yard is pretty large and great for off leash fun as it’s completely safe and secure. I live only with my husband and our two very friendly Cavalier King Charles Spaniel who loves every dog they has ever met. Oliver even has a way of making dogs that are usually not dog friendly play as if they were a puppy - it seems to be his super power! While Opal is just a love who is always ready for fun in the yard or cuddles on the couch.

About: I cared for my own senior dog before he passed and understand how important patience, consistency, and routine are for pets. I’m experienced with regular walks, slower-paced outings, feeding routines, potty breaks, and keeping pets calm and comfortable. I’m also attentive to details like medication timing and following owner instructions closely. I’m especially comfortable with adult and senior dogs who benefit from a calm, reliable presence. I currently work on a flexible, self-directed schedule from home while writing a book, which allows me to be available for weekday walks and drop-in visits. I’m especially able to help with midday, afternoon, and early evening visits, and I’m happy to work with pet parents on consistent recurring routines when schedules align. I cared for my own senior dog before he passed (a 17+ year Corgi/Dachshund mix. I miss him so much!), so I understand how important patience, consistency, and attention to detail can be. I’m comfortable with regular walks, slower pacing, feeding routines, and making sure medications are given on time when instructed. In a client’s home, I follow their directions closely, keep pets calm and comfortable, and make sure doors, leashes, food, water, and any special instructions are handled carefully.

“Deya did a wonderful job looking after our puppy! She was very respectful of his space while he got used to her & they were playing in no time!”

About: I've trained and cared for 2 dogs, both adopted. Rupert was a Jack Rusell/Corgi with an abusive history. I worked with him until he no longer tried to bite people. Leonard is energetic rat terrier, who can now keep himself in check on command. I've successfully trained both dogs to be sweet and loving, and you can expect me to treat your dogs with the same care and respect. I also worked for Wag for a year. I now have a cat at home and am comfortable with cat care as well, but miss the companionship of dogs, especially in these isolating times. I also love to walk and hike, am in shape, and would love to give your energetic puppy a long walk. I look forward to meeting your furry friend!

About: I have walked neighbors dogs in the past, and have fostered dogs and cats. I currently have an 6 year pup of my own who requires a lot of attention, so I completely understand checking in on our furry friends and making sure they are doing well and taken care of! I work in healthcare , but love to fill my other free time taking care of furry friends :) I’m currently working half the week at my job , so I will have the other half to cuddle and spend quality time with your fur baby. I know how special they are and will do my best to give them the attention and care they deserve while you are away, and to make sure they are taken care of in a safe and comfortable environment. I live in a lovely neighborhood with a park near by which also has a small dog park. Can take your dog to the park or walk around the neighborhood or both :)

About: Hi, I’m Len, and I’ve been lifelong passionate dog lover. With over 30 years of hands-on experience with dogs of all kinds from energetic puppies to wise senior pups and everything in between I understand what it takes to provide excellent care tailored to each dog’s unique personality and needs. Dogs seem to take to me naturally, and I love building trust and strong bonds with every pup I meet. Whether your furry friend needs long walks, a playmate, or a quiet companion, I’m here to ensure they feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. Living in Oakland, I’m familiar with all the best parks, walking routes, and local spots where your dog can enjoy the outdoors. My goal is to make sure your dog feels comfortable and cared for, just as if they were my own. I work part time from home and have a very flexible schedule. I would only accept jobs that I’m certain I can attend to that accommodate my schedule. I live in a community building with security staff 24 hours, it’s very dog friendly. There are special accommodations for dogs, such as a fenced in area for dogs.

About: I’ve had my husky mix kuro for 10 years and just recently got my baby cat loki! I absolutely love my babies, my main objective is for you to feel safe, comfortable and worry free while you’re away from your baby! Taking care of a husky mix and cat is a bit of a handful and definitely requires a lot of care and attention daily, luckily my roommate and best friend is there with me to watch and care for my babies when im busy! I’d treat my clients home with respect as if it were my own! I would care for their babies like I would mine! I want my clients to feel safe and comfortable when their babies are in my care!

About: Hi! I’m Michelle, an animal rescuer, lifelong animal advocate, and experienced pet caregiver with over 10 years of hands on experience caring for dogs of all ages, personalities, and medical needs. My passion for animals goes far beyond pet sitting, as advocating for their wellbeing is a core part of who I am. Because of my background in animal rescue, I understand that every animal is an individual with unique emotional and physical needs. I always strive to provide care that prioritizes their comfort, safety, enrichment, and happiness. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs that require extra patience, medication, specialized routines, and additional support, including seniors, rescue dogs, anxious pups, and dogs that some may consider “difficult.” I believe every dog deserves compassionate, individualized care, and I take the time to earn their trust while making them feel secure and loved. I‘m currently available most days of the week, and trying to get consistent pups that I can take on adventures with others at least twice a week. I‘m also available for boarding and house sitting. I train tuesdays-fridays at night for an hour. I like to do multiple walks and exercise at selected parks around berkeley and oakland. I live in a 1b-1ba apartment with a big cemented balcony in an apartment building. All my windows and balcony door have a screen. My door goes to a carpeted hallway with other apartments so there‘s no possibility of escaping accidents. I also have a 360 camera at my apartment which I use for monitoring.

“Christine is the absolute best with my kitty Mystery. She is so caring and sends such detailed and thoughtful updates. Very much appreciated her!”

About: My family and I have a love for animals. We have gone through many different species of pets including dogs, cats, hamsters, bunnies, and birds. Apart from my family, I’ve helped house-sit and cared for my friend’s dog for a few years now whenever she’s away. During that time, I’ve handled daily walks, feeding, and making sure the dog feels safe and comfortable at home. I currently work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and extra availability to care for and walk dogs. I’m able to provide consistent attention and accommodate different walking times throughout the week. I like to follow their normal routine to keep them comfortable. I make sure they are fed on time, get regular walks, have fresh water, and receive plenty of attention and playtime.

About: I have cared for multi-pet households. I have experience feeding, brushing, changing litter, and administering medication. I love animals of all sorts. I am also good with them. I am good at reading their body language, and a lot of them gravitate towards me for whatever reason. They tend to be comfortable with my presence. I am between jobs at the moment, so that means I am somewhat more flexible to work around your schedule. I am a little bit busy with stuff in my personal life, and obviously I have boundaries about when I can and can't be at your home and how much work I want to take on, but the lack of structure in my life right now means we have more options for how I can show up for your pets. I am not in school either at the moment. I am not planning to have this be my only source of income, but for now I am flexible. I can't have pets come to my apartment; it is too small and I don't live on the bottom floor so it would be too much of a hassle to take them outside. I can only come to your home. I am very respectful of boundaries and property when I enter someone else's home. I will pay close attention to your instructions about how to care for your pets and any important other details I need to know. I am responsible and detail oriented, so you can trust me in your home and with your animals. I care that my clients feel secure with me being there while they are away.

“We absolutely love Chelsea and know that our babies are in the best most loving care with her! She is very responsive and so considerate.”
