Pet Sitting in San Leandro

About: Hi there! I’m a total people person with a heart that easily extends to pups of all sizes! I’ve been working as an Autism Specialist since I was 19, so patience, intuition, and building strong, trusting connections are truly my superpowers. I like to say I have that special energy humans and dogs both adore! For the past 7 years, I’ve been dog sitting for families in and around my neighborhood, as well as my parents’ neighborhood, caring for their fur babies like they’re my own. I understand how important it is for your dog to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I live in a spacious 2bedroom apartment with a spare room that gives pups plenty of indoor space to play and relax. Our complex also has lots of grassy areas perfect for fresh air, potty breaks, and nice walks. Whether your dog loves a structured routine, playtime, or cozy cuddle sessions, I’m happy to meet their needs! I’m reliable, communicative, and naturally attentive. and I genuinely get excited to host and care for pups in my home. Your dog’s happiness and well being will always be my priority. I can’t wait to meet your fur baby! 🐶✨ I work from home on Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays, so your pup will have lots of supervision and attention on those days! I’m also available most weekends if you’re planning a little getaway and need reliable care! I care for every dog like they’re my own, keeping them on their normal routine as much as possible. I provide plenty of supervised playtime, structured walks, potty breaks, and cozy rest time in a safe, calm environment. I pay close attention to each dog’s personality and needs, whether they’re energetic and playful or prefer quiet cuddles and relaxation.

About: I have had animals since I was a child and I have always been very responsible and loving towards my furry friends. I am very good with dogs cats and small animals like rats, mice, guinea pigs etc. I may be young but I have a lot of experience with animals and I care about them so much!! I am very calm and patient with animals and I understand how new people or situations can be scary for them. I just want your fur babies to be as comfortable as possible. I am currently in college at Chabot community college. I’m usually at school at least three days a week, but it varies from semester to semester. I always make sure that i follow the instructions given to me by the pets parent. I also will make sure that your fur baby gets the proper care, love and attention as needed. I always double check doors, windows and cages to make sure that they are all locked and secured properly before and after the visit. I will make sure that there is food and water available and if you have a feeding schedule just let me know and I will follow it. I always check your pets living, eating and sleeping areas for anything that could possibly be harmful and I’ll make sure to clean it up and let you know.

“Marlene just did the first drop in visit for our two dogs. She was very communicative, punctual, and made sure to secure the house when she left. Plus it was a very rainy day, and she got the dogs all cleaned up when they came in from the yard. Glad we found a reliable person.”

“Katherine was thorough, communicative, and sent lots of photos throughout! Really appreciated her attention to detail, honesty, and care. The cats loved her!”

About: Ever since I was young, I have cared for many different kinds of animals and pets, from small ones like turtles and golden fish, to later adopting my first German Shepherd and my first cat. After that, the way I felt about pets completely changed. They were no longer just animals for me to take care of. In my heart, they became companions, and eventually true family members. From a young age, I naturally became interested in learning more about animals, especially cats and dogs. I started researching pet care, behavior, and the knowledge needed to understand them better. I believe every pet is different. As animal's friends, we need to be patient enough to listen, attentive enough to observe, and willing to truly understand their feelings, needs, and personalities. This mindset and these experiences have gradually deepened my passion for the pet industry and led me to step into this field. I’m a full-time caregiver and I understand that life can be unpredictable, so I offer same-day requests and one-day cancellation for added flexibility. available 24/7 to support your needs. Feel free to message/call me if you have any concern. Communication is the key. I have fenced yard and a friendly dog and two cats to keep your fur buddy company. If you request a private space, I have another individual unit with no pet. I’ll keep you updated on your pet’s activity and share their little vacation through messages, photos, and videos. Whether you’re at work, attending an event, or traveling, you can have peace of mind knowing how they’re doing at any time. We’ll spend quality time playing, walking, and keeping them engaged, so they stay happy and never bored. f you need any in-home service, we will also make sure everything is handled according to your instructions, preferences, and household rules.

About: Hi, Meghan here, I have always been a dog-lover. I live in Oakland with my mom, a fellow dog-lover! I allow our furry friends on the couch, but can also work on furniture-boundaries if your pooch isn't allowed on furniture at your own home. I work from home, so I'll be home most of the day during the weekdays. The longest your pup will be home alone (with my pups) is around 5 hours. I am comfortable with big dogs. I can give medications, and can brush your pooch as well! Here's a little about us: Meghan has been a dog-lover since birth. She grew up with dogs of all shapes and sizes. Treesa loves pups of all sizes! Meet my pets: Just the dogs! About my yard We have a fenced backyard. My experience administering medication We are comfortable administering oral medication. **We do have a Potty Clause. We understand accidents happen, and are very forgiving, as pups are often excited and can't help themselves at first. However, we have occasionally had extreme repeat offenders. We take dogs on the basis that they are potty trained. If we feel there are an excessive number of indoor incidents, we will let you know, and ask for a $10 additional fee (per week, or fraction thereof), to cover the cost of laundry and cleaning supplies.** Thanks! I work from home so your pup will hang out with me at home, join me on walks, and get to spend the day with me! I have a fenced yard. Security gate at my back door means fresh air without escape opportunity. We're working on installing a dog door, so that should happen later this year!

About: Been the primary source of training and exercise for my family’s dogs since I was 13. With training large breed dogs, specifically Rottweilers and various rescues. I have a lot of experience with larger willful breeds, but also have had a few years of smaller fluffier breeds like French poodles. I am currently the primary caregiver of my son and so taking him and Sierra for walks and play dates is ver much part of my day. I have a fenced in yard for my 3 year old Rottweiler but take longer walks along Lake Chabot on the regular. She is an inside dog and has been trained to be very friendly as I have two elderly cats who are decidedly not friendly towards her. That said when we are not home I have seen the cats snuggle the dog via the doggy cam!

“Kacie is wonderful with our pup! We have used her multiple times for walks and will definitely be booking again :)”

“Vanessa was great! She arrived on time and she sent pictures and a thorough summary for each visit. Our more fearful cat seemed to appreciate Vanessa's approach and our braver kitty was happy for the attention. Will definitely rebook!”

About: I love pets! I’ve taken care of family members pets by feeding them or playing with them in their house. I’m unable to do so in my own house, but in others I’m very reliable. I did gig work sometimes on an app called gig work and am out of college for the summer, so I will have plenty of time to care for your fur babies! I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while staying in their familiar environment. I carefully follow feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and any special instructions from the owner. For overnight stays, I’ll make sure your pets feel relaxed and keep their normal routine while also respecting and caring for your home. I also love sending updates and photos so owners feel reassured while away.

“Jason was completely reliable. We trusted him to feed both our cats twice a day, as well as clean the litter box. He followed our instructions and was very respectful and friendly. He even washed the dirty food bowls! We loved getting the updates and photos. Both our cats took to him—our kitten, Stella, totally adored him and looked forward to his visits. What more can you ask for? We’ll be booking him again!”

About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I was around 9 years old. Grew up with 5 dogs, rabbits, chickens, and iguanas. Have always had an aptitude for being a dog whisperer and I am an overall active person. I have had 5 litters of puppies growing up and just recently had a litter of white labs. Love going to the beach, going on trail runs, and biking. I specialize in diet and exercise as I was a Kinesiology major in college so I am health conscientious and take great pride in an animals healthy diet. All sorts of healthy treats and specialized exercise for your pets! I took a break from the corporate world so your pet is my priority. I like to take 2 walks per day but I have no problem going for runs on trails. Once in morning and once in the afternoon. Usually feed my dog twice per day after walks so whatever is your preference just let me know! I have a 2 bedroom house with a fenced backyard. Dependent upon your preference I can house your pet inside as I have plenty of space in the living room and spare bedroom. In your home I’d have outmost respect with whatever you are comfortable with. Just let me know whatever routine your canine friend has. I can easily follow instructions and create a schedule for your canine friend.

“Angélica was an absolutely incredible cat sitter for my cat, Cheech, during my 10-day trip. From day one, her communication was outstanding—she sent regular updates with photos and videos that gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear Cheech was not only well cared for, but genuinely happy and comfortable in her presence. What really blew me away was her thoughtfulness. On her final day, she left printed photos of Cheech along with sweet gifts and handwritten notes—such a personal and kind gesture that meant a lot to me. I trusted Angélica completely in my home, and she treated both Cheech and my space with the utmost respect and care. If you're looking for someone dependable, caring, and genuinely great with animals, I can't recommend Angélica enough. She’s a true gem!”

“Alisha is absolutely wonderful. She took excellent care of our 16-year-old kitty girl. We lost her brother late last year and this was the first time Desie would be on her own during a trip. Alisha took patient effort to make sure she ate and sent plenty of pictures so we could see how our beloved little girl monster was doing. I really felt like I left my cat in the care of someone who loves her as much as I do. 100/10 will absolutely book again for a trip later this year.”

“Star is great! I have a nervous nelly of a german shepherd and she loves Star. She is always well fed and looked after when I’m gone. Star sends pictures, let’s me if Zelda is being a weirdo and gets plenty of attention. She is very responsive and helpful!”

Jennifer S.

“We love having Angie! She always does an amazing job caring for our boy while we’re away! She has great communication skills and is always on top of everything! We will use her again and again and recommend her for anyone needing someone trustworthy to love and care for their pet!”

“Zenzele dropped in with little notice when I mixed up my schedule, saving me an hour roundtrip when my pup needed to be hugged and fed. Thanks, Zenzele 👍🏼”

“Charlette was so awesome with my dog Millicent! My dog can be a little stand-offish. Charlette managed to gain Millicent's trust and took such excellent care of my baby. I will definitely be booking with her again. 😊”

“At the meet and greet Tina gently introduced herself to Chilli, listened closely as we toured our home, took notes asked questions. She followed the written instructions we left for her and confirmed additional instructions we texted after we left for our trip. She texted us pictures of Chilli with updates. She also went beyond her responsibilities and checked for ants that had invaded our home before we left for our trip. She exceeded our expectations and we’ll definitely schedule her again soon!”
