About: Experienced Vet Tech • Animal Caregiver I’ve been working with animals since 2017, beginning as a manager at a boarding, daycare, and grooming facility in Livermore, where I also cared for Alameda County Sheriff’s animals. Every temperament I met taught me something new and ultimately led me into veterinary medicine in 2019. Since then, I’ve worked in veterinary hospitals throughout Danville/Blackhawk, Fremont, and Pleasanton. After years in vet med, I’ve realized what I love most is simply caring for the animals themselves. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet—their quirks, routines, personalities, and what makes them feel safe and comfortable. I have a knack for connecting with animals and making sure their individual needs are understood and met. Most of the animals I meet end up becoming little friends of mine. The occasional possum or feral cat may not be quite as convinced, but I promise I’ll still give them my very best. ❤️ Your pet will be cared for with the experience, patience, and genuine love I would want for my own. I am taking a step back from my career and pursuit of Veterinary Medicine. I would like to get to the basics of what I know and love so very much. Caring for and spending time with each animal. Making sure they get the care they deserve, and so much more. I like continue with each animals normal routine. If they like to lay out in the sun for a few hours, that’s what we will do. If they want to play fetch until nap time, consider it done. If we want to go for a run through the neighborhood or a walk on a nearby trail, I’m ready to go.

About: I have owned Dogs for 30 years and love interactions with them.

“Eleanor did an amazing job with my dog, Bruno! We were out of town for 5 days and she went above and beyond for us. Our main need was dog walks but also we asked for her to help water the plants, feed our dog and make sure he has water and put our trash bins on the curb on trash day. She was amazing and so helpful with eve we asked. 100% recommend her! Thank you, Eleanor!!”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life. I grew up with my childhood dog and cared for him for 17 years until he passed away. I now have three huskies, so taking care of dogs is a big part of my everyday life. I’m reliable, patient, and comfortable with high-energy dogs. I know how important it is to have someone you trust taking care of your pets while you’re away, and I’ll follow their normal routine, give them plenty of attention, and keep you updated with pictures along the way. I’m available throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays. I’m happy to coordinate schedules in advance and keep your pet’s normal routine as consistent as possible while you’re away. I’ll follow the routine and instructions you leave for your pets and make sure they’re safe and comfortable while in my care. I’m careful when coming and going, especially with doors, gates, and leashes. I’ll also treat your home with the same care and respect I would my own and keep you updated while you’re away.

“Ayashe was amazing! Very attentive to the fur children and even managed to win over Gizmo who usually takes several sessions before warming up to new people. Thank you so much Ayashe!”

About: I’ve housed and cared for dogs and cats of different sizes and personality types simultaneously in the same house on a regular basis. Nothing’s new. If you want nightly care throughout the week and pet sitting during family trips. I can definitely coordinate with your schedule or if there are any special needs pets. I measure each personality, always create a safe zone for more timid types. Having a consistent routine for each pet to make sure there is an even amount of stimulation distributed throughout the group.

About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them comes naturally to me. Since I was 10 years old, I’ve helped care for dogs, cats, fish, and other beloved pets — learning that every animal has their own personality, needs, and way of communicating. Friends and family trust me to walk, feed, bathe, play with, and lovingly care for their pets while they’re away. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, happy, active, and genuinely loved in my care. I’m reliable, attentive, calm under pressure, and treat every pet like family. As a gentle added touch, I’m also experienced in animal reiki, which I’m happy to incorporate during visits if welcomed by both pet and owner to help encourage relaxation and comfort. Whether your pet loves playtime, quiet companionship, or extra patience and reassurance, I’ll meet them where they are with love, warmth and care. I currently work part-time. I have plenty of time to play with your fur babies. I am available most days and weekends, including most holidays. I have a fenced dog-friendly where your dog can roam and play. I have a beautiful lawn and a beautiful tree lined neighborhood for long walks.

About: I’ve been surrounded by pets throughout my childhood and into adulthood, and caring for animals has always been a natural and meaningful part of my life. Growing up, I learned the joy and responsibility that comes with having a pet — from everyday care and companionship to understanding their individual personalities and needs. Over the years, my love for animals has only grown. I truly enjoy spending time with pets, giving them attention, keeping them comfortable, and making sure they feel safe and loved while their owners are away. As a lifelong pet owner and animal lover, I understand that pets are family, and I treat every pet in my care with the same patience, kindness, and affection I would want for my own. I work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility and availability to dedicate time and attention to the care and needs of your beloved pets. I’m able to provide the companionship, care, and consistency they deserve, while making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved in your absence. I understand how valuable and important your pets are to you, and I’m committed to treating them like family. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are my top priorities. I take the time to create a calm, clean, and secure environment where pets can feel comfortable and cared for. I follow each pet’s routine and any special instructions from their owner, while giving them plenty of attention, patience, and companionship. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big responsibility.

About: I’ve handled pets of many kinds for the past 10 years, I currently work at a veterinary hospital with the experience and capability to know when there may be an emergency & when care is needed.

About: Hi! I've been a house sitter for around 8 years for family friends as well as family members. There have been various sized animals that I got to take care of, and ranged from a few weeks old to senior ages. I also have 5 dogs at my family home along with one cat and one snake. Currently, I work as an office manager at a fine jewelry store and work 5 days a week. I am looking to help families on vacation or anyone local looking for services that I can provide on my free time. I do work around 8 hour shifts and would need to verify the animal will be okay with being along for that period of time. I currently am on a schedule with family members that we all contribute to feeding the animals. I will tend to walk the dogs around four times weekly and take my cat outside for some time in the mornings. When servicing friends and families animals/homes I tend to the cleaning, medication times for pets, water plants, and make sure things are tidy.

About: I have several years of hands-on experience caring for my own Beagle, who is friendly, well-socialized, and accustomed to living with people. Through daily walks, feeding, training reinforcement, grooming, and routine health care, I’ve learned how to provide a safe, structured, and loving environment for dogs. My home is a clean, smoke-free single-family house with a secure fenced backyard where dogs can safely play and relax. I only accept a limited number of dogs at a time so that every guest receives plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I understand that every dog has a unique personality and routine. Whether your dog enjoys playtime, quiet naps, or extra cuddles, I’ll follow your care instructions carefully and provide regular photo and video updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I have a PhD in Pharmaceutical Sciences, so my background is closely connected to health, medications, biology, and careful observation. My training has made me very attentive to details such as changes in appetite, energy level, behavior, hydration, and daily routine, and I am comfortable following detailed care instructions, including medication schedules when needed. This scientific background naturally carries over into how I care for pets—I tend to notice small changes, keep routines consistent, and take safety and wellbeing seriously. I have a flexible schedule and spend plenty of time at home, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I already care for my own friendly Beagle and provide regular walks, potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and supervision throughout the day. I am available for boarding on both weekdays and weekends, with flexible drop-off and pick-up times. My home is clean, quiet, and dog-friendly, with a fully fenced backyard that I specifically designed with my dog in mind. I wanted him to have a safe and comfortable outdoor space for potty breaks, playtime, exploring, and relaxing, so the backyard was planned to be both secure and easy for dogs to enjoy under supervision. I understand how important routine and a comfortable environment are, especially when a dog is staying somewhere unfamiliar. Dogs are never left outside unattended and always have access to fresh water, cozy indoor spaces, and plenty of attention. I treat every dog like part of the family and communicate regularly with owners through updates, photos, and videos. Please let me know about your dog’s daily routine, feeding schedule, potty schedule, energy level, personality, and any medical needs or behavioral concerns. For everyone’s safety and comfort, I prefer dogs that are friendly with other dogs since I have a male Beagle at home. My home is clean, quiet, and pet-friendly, with a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely enjoy supervised outdoor time. I have a friendly, well-socialized Beagle, so I understand the importance of keeping pets comfortable and maintaining a consistent routine. Dogs are never left outside unattended and always have access to fresh water, cozy indoor spaces, and plenty of attention. I treat every dog like a member of the family and communicate regularly with owners through updates and photos.

“I hesitate to leave this review, because the last thing I want is more competition for Lauren’s time. 😉 Lauren is a delightful person who engages cheerfully with humans and animals. Our kids like her (as do we), and our dogs LOVE her. Lauren provides drop-in services for us whenever we travel, even when our kids are at home. It’s a way to make sure our 1+yo Goldens get steady punctual attention. Lauren feeds them, plays with them, gives them medicine, and communicates thoroughly with us in words and photos. We don’t miss our pups any less, but we miss them without anxiety. Thanks for everything Lauren!”

My common Sense comes in handy when caring for pets and a clients household. It's a joy to work with animals.

About: Since I was about six I have always had dogs in my household. At a young age I learned the responsibilities it takes to be patient, loving, and caring for another living being (pets!). I have had two dogs my whole life, both pit bulls. While I have experience with youthful dogs, I also have experience in taking care of elderly dogs. One of my dogs recently passed away of old age and I took care of her by myself. During the week, I am working from 8am-5pm. I am available before 8am and after 5pm on weekdays. In the weekend, my availability is open and may be scheduled to change. I will not be bringing pets into my home. In regards to care for pets in client’s home, I will follow the directions given to me and ask any questions and/or concerns that come up. It’s all about communication, if I am not sure about something I will simply ask. In the event where I have a question and/or concern and the client does not respond, I will use my best judgement; as I have had dogs all my life.
