“Tania did a great job taking care of our senior pup who suffers from separation anxiety and doesn’t like to take her meds. Tania was prompt, easy to communicate with before and during her stay, sent lots of pictures, and left our house immaculate. We will definitely use her again.”

About: Small or large, reactive or secure, your dog will feel at home with me. For the last 10+ years I have been pet sitting and walking my neighbor's pets and this summer I'd like to expand my reach to the rest of the East Bay. I have experience administering medication, cooking food for pets, and making dogs feel at ease in my presence. In the last year or so I have picked up some dog training, and I would be happy to incorporate some of this training into my walks with your pup. Summer 2026 will be an extremely flexible time for me to pick up pet walking/sitting gigs. I have a dog of my own that will join dog walks only if my client is okay with it. I have a fenced yard and a housemate who works from home and loves dogs as well. I make sure my dog gets plenty of time outside and some movement throughout her day.

About: 8+ years of hands-on pet care experience. From a young age, I’ve looked after dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments As an athlete and boxer, I naturally enjoy staying active What sets me apart is my calm, patient personality and genuine ability to connect with both pets and owners. I take time to learn each animal’s individual needs, routines Whether it’s exercise, medication reminders, feeding, playtime , and comfort levels so they feel safe and happy. SPECIAL SKILLS -I’m also equipped with a truck for safe transportation to vet appointments, parks, in addition to services I offer professional baths & grooming at local pet stores. Fully comfortable with multi-pet households and all types of animals. I treat every pet with the same care I give my own. Neighbors, friends, and family have consistently trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and provide companionship for their pets. I’m very flexible with my schedule and structure my days around pet care. I typically do morning walks and drop-ins before 9am, midday check-ins, and evening visits after 5pm. On weekends I’m wide open for overnights or longer sitting. Pet care is my priority — I plan my routine so your dog always gets consistent, quality time without feeling rushed In my home, pets get constant supervision, structured playtime, potty breaks, and meals on their normal schedule. I’m experienced with crate training if needed and always keep a calm, secure environment. In your home I follow your exact instructions for feeding, walks, and any medication. Safety and trust come first

About: Over the last few years I've become my friends, and friends of friends, go to person for pet care! I've always loved animals and grew up with pups in the home. During COVID I started sitting for friends and colleagues of mine who had to return to the office. My flexible WFH schedule gives me plenty of time to go on walks, feeding, and of course play. I also have a pup of my own and am comfortable working with puppies. I work remotely so my schedule is extremely flexible! Here is a rough idea of my schedule, although there is definitely room to move things around: open Mondays, Tuesday’s early morning , open Fri-Sun. I treat every pet that I am with as if they were my own! Every pet has different needs and I pride my myself on noting the needs of each one that is in my care. I always ask owners about house rules as well as their pets like and dislikes so I can make sure I'm keeping them safe and happy. As a pet owner myself, I only hope to give the owners the peace of mind knowing their pet is getting the best care and attention!

“Mason is an AMAZING dog sitter. He stayed with our dog Harley for about 10 days over the holiday break. He took great care of her AND of our house. He's responsible, responsive, and Harley loved him. Here's all the proof you need: Mason stopped by our house the day after we got back from our vacation. When Harley saw him at the door, she ran to him, started spinning circles, wagging her tail and then cuddled up to him like he was family. I highly recommend Mason and plan on working with him again. Harley is usually suspicious of new people but instantly took to Mason at the meet and greet. While we were away, he took her on lots of walks both in the neighborhood and around Tilden Park. Harley can be reactive to other dogs, but Mason had good strategies for dealing with it on these walks -- he's clearly experienced and knew exactly what to do. He also played fetch and rope tug in our back yard, and took care of her daily meds as well. Mason sent us photos each day, responded quickly when we texted him through the app, and when our return flight was delayed, he agreed to stay a few extra hours. When we got home, the house was sparkling clean, just as we left it. What more could you ask for? Thanks Mason!”

“Rachael was AMAZING! Your fur babies are in great hands with her. She was extremely attentive to all the special care our senior kitty needed, was quick to reply and easy to get ahold of, and did a fantastic job with all the little extra house tasks while we were away for a few days. Cannot recommend her enough!”

About: I volunteer at a dog shelter which has improved my skills in dog walking and understanding dog behavior. I have been taking care of dogs for neighbors, friends and family since I was 12. I walk dogs daily, prepare meals, play with them, and give medication, if needed. Hi. My name is Yesica. I just finished my first year at university, so I am currently on summer vacation. My schedule is open and flexible so I have plenty of time to walk and play with your pets throughout the week. I am also available for housing on weekends and holidays. I care for pets by following their normal routines as closely as possible so they feel comfortable, stress-free and safe. In my house in particular I have a doggy door that I can open and close to make potty breaks and play time outside easily accessible. In both my house and a client’s home, I make sure to keep the environment clean and secure for the animals. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect the owner’s instructions, and I provide updates with photos and messages so owners feel reassured while they’re away.

“Professional and kind from start to finish! Sofia took the time to meet Olive ahead of watching her and kept me updated with messages and pictures the day of. She left my apt exactly how I left it and I could tell Olive had a great time. Would definitely book her again!”

“Mandisa took great care of our little terrier, Luna (who can be a handful some times). I especially appreciated her responsiveness and professionalism throughout the process, which provided such peace of mind, and the notes she left afterward, which were super helpful for managing an issue Luna's been having lately, where she gets so excited by the neighborhood cats that she forgets to potty when you take her outside. Ah, terriers. We look forward to booking with Mandisa agin.”

About: 🐾 Hey I’m Yasmin! I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life. I believe in treating all animals with kindness and being gentle❤️ What sets me apart from others? Well, it’s not just a JOB to me. 🐾 I work from home and can drop in on your pets to check on them! You can book me for dog walking as well! 🐾 I can deal with needy/anxious dogs and cats. ❤️ I always send cute pictures/updates daily!

Just reach out and let me know :) ❤️🐾I can drop in anytime you want and check on your pets, feed them, brush them, clean them, walk them, and give them attention while you’re gone.

“We are so lucky to have met Kaja! She’s taken excellent care of our giant pups (an energetic rottie and a pittie) both times she’s stayed with them. Kaja is experienced caring for all kinds of dogs and was clearly confident and comfortable with our dogs reactivity (they’re loves but not great with other dogs). She is an excellent communicator and has a calming, patient, grounding presence that put all of us (humans and dogs!) at ease as soon as we met. She sent us thoughtful pictures and updates while we were away and missing our dogs and took great care of our home as well. We would recommend her to anyone and will reach out again next time we need a dog sitter!”

About: I genuinely enjoy being around animals, I take care of dogs by keeping the environment calm, clean and safe, giving them patient, reliable attention. I make sure they feel comfortable, supervised and cared for. I’m a student at Carrington College so I have a busy schedule in the morning, but i’m free in the afternoon! My school schedule is Monday and Wednesday from 7:30am-11:30am & Tuesday and Friday from 8:30am-2:00pm I’m free Thursday, Saturday & Sunday all day. In my home, I make sure the space is clean, pet‑safe, and free of anything they could chew or swallow. I keep doors and windows secured, monitor pets closely, and give them a calm environment. I follow their feeding, play, and potty routines exactly as the owner requests.

About: I have taken care of pets for over 10 years around the world! Neighbors, friends, families and acquaintances have all trusted me with the livelihoods of their loved ones. I can administer medication, go on as many walks as needed, drive or walk to the dog park or just cuddle on the sofa if you pet loves that too! I work as a school teacher and am an online grad student but am able to come and go as I please so my schedule is quite flexible! I am very mindful of your pets care, safety and security while they are in my trust. I can crate your pet, calm them down and care for them as per your instruction.

“Liliana and Gerardo took excellent care of our two dogs and house while we were away. They were quick to respond, followed all care instructions and we came home to healthy and relaxed pups. As an example, Liliana added in additional walks before they went out to ensure the dogs had really done their business after observing our dogs tendencies to go out in the backyard and lounge instead. Will definitely book again.”

“Harold is such a sweet & kind soul - a great caregiver for our paraplegic pup, Zulu. Caring for a dog with special needs that go beyond the usual care required for abled dogs is never easy! There’s always a bit of a learning curve to manually expressing a bladder & utilizing mobility aids. But Harold took that challenge in stride for our Zulu & rocked a long-term house-sitting stay with her. We can back home for our trip to a tired but satisfied pup, who clearly had a good time with her new Rover bestie. Harold’s transparent communication throughout kept our minds at ease, and he was flexible & accommodating as well. Highly recommend!”

“Lizzy is magnificent! She puppy-sat our 9 week old in our home for 4 days. She was patient and loving with our pup and very communicative with us while we were away. Sitting a puppy is challenging and our puppy is actually better behaved after spending time with Lizzy! She left our house in great shape and a sweet report card for our puppy. We will definitely be repeat customers.”

Rachel R.

“Alexandra did a great job caring for Honey. I appreciated her letting me know how he behaved while I was away and her approach to caring for dogs (following their body language and cues). Looking forward to booking her again.”

“Mayra was absolutely amazing and helped us out when we were in a pinch and needed someone to watch our pups. Mayra arrived on time and sent pics of our pups and we are so appreciative!”
