“Becky went above and beyond in taking care of our cats. She was incredibly communicative, quickly responded to our cats' many antics, and was attentive to every detail of their care. Because of her great sense of humor, we were excited every time a new Rover card was posted, where her love and care for our cats was apparent. It can be hard to leave your pets with a stranger, but we felt completely at ease knowing that Becky was taking care of them. We would recommend her to all pet parents looking for a reliable and conscientious sitter.”

12. Joel S.
“Joel stepped in to care for our fur-baby during a very difficult time when she had just come out of surgery and we had to be out of town for business commitments. Leaving our pup was one of the most difficult things to do, but I now truly believe that Joel cared for our girl better than we ever could have. His meticulous attention to her and her needs, from managing her pain, medication, bathroom needs, and providing regular communication and updates to us is something I will be eternally grateful for. There is quite literally no one I trust more to provide the highest level of care, attention, and love to any pet needing either general or specialized care. Joel has a massive heart and a deep love for animals, which is evidenced even more by how much animals LOVE him! If you are needing care for your pet, I can’t recommend Joel enough!”

About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and my personalized approach to pet care. I take the time to understand each pet's unique needs and personality, ensuring they feel comfortable and happy while you're away.

I’m adaptable to your pet’s needs whether that requires multiple walks a day, plenty of play time, etc. I care for pets in my home by creating a comfortable and welcoming environment. I can cater to your pet’s needs whether that is providing plenty of playtime, exercise, and/or mental stimulation. I maintain a clean and comfortable space, follow their regular routines, and offer lots of affection and attention to ensure they feel at home.


17. Fuliang X.
“Fulinag was amazing with our senior Golden Retriever, Daisy! He has arthritis and needs extra attention, but he made him feel right at home. He sent us daily updates with photos and made sure he took all his medications on schedule. The enclosed yard was perfect for his gentle exercise needs. We're so grateful to have found such a caring and professional sitter.”


18. Michelle F.

“Michelle was absolutely wonderful with my Georgie! You can tell right away that she has a natural gift with animals - the kind of person pets just instantly trust. She sent me updates throughout their time together, and I could see how happy and relaxed Georgie was in her care. What really stands out is how Michelle treats each pet like her own family member, giving them all the attention and love they need. Georgie came home so content and well-cared for. It's such a relief finding someone you can truly trust with your fur baby. Couldn't recommend Michelle more highly - she's definitely my go-to pet sitter now!”

About: Hi there! I am new to the Oakland area and would love to make new connections for dog walking and pet/house sitting. I have had many dogs of all breeds throughout my life, currently I have two boxers and an Irish terrier that are all over 8 years old. I am college educated in legal studies and have worked in office admin previously. I am looking for new opportunities to get acquainted in Oakland. My clients will know a stable, professional, flexible and friendly caregiver for their animals. I have taken care of friends’ animals over the years with no issue and am very good at following detailed instructions on how to care for animals. I am very safe and take pets' health seriously. I have a trusted vet that can handle any emergencies if I do not have vet contact info for a client's pet. I am very interested in any questions or concerns or special pricing. Thank you! I’m currently seeking part-time work while I look for job opportunities in the area. I have a very flexible schedule and can work with your pet-sitting needs almost anytime I’m needed. At this time, I can only care for your pets at your home if overnight stays are requested. I have my own transportation to come out and take your pets on a walk, to the park or keep them company while you’re away. Any detailed instructions on your environment will be followed diligently.
