About: I treat every pet I care for like my own, because to me, pets are a true gift, full of intelligence and personality. I believe in using compassion and patience with every pet, taking the time to understand their breed and temperament so I can provide the best care possible. As an active person who loves hikes and walks, I enjoy getting pets outdoors and giving them plenty of exercise. I also personally bathe and groom my own dog and have experience caring for sick dogs, including post-surgery care, administering medication, and monitoring for any signs of concern. I've been a dog lover since I was a kid and have about 8 years of experience with owning and caring for dogs. I’m familiar with caring for and training puppies, including potty and crate training. Every pet deserves thoughtful, dedicated care, and that’s what I offer! I work remotely and have the flexibility to fit pet care into my daily and weekly routine with ease. Whether it's stopping by to take your pet on walks during your workday, offering boarding services in my home (which has a spacious yard for playtime), or providing quick drop-in visits to feed and relieve your pets in the comfort of their own home. I'm able to accommodate your needs. My schedule is adaptable, so I can ensure your pet gets the attention, exercise, and care they need when you're not around. When caring for pets in my home, I offer a safe, comfortable environment with a spacious, fenced yard for plenty of outdoor play and exercise. My quiet neighborhood, with low traffic, ensures a calm and peaceful atmosphere for pets to feel at ease. Plus, I’m within walking distance of three parks, including Lake Chabot Regional Park. For pet care in your home, I make sure to follow your pet’s usual routine and provide them with everything they need whether it’s feeding, potty breaks, or just some quality playtime. I always strive to make your pet feel comfortable and loved while you’re away, whether in my home or theirs.
“After my initial meeting with Ann-Marie I felt very secure with leaving Mia in her hands while I’m at work. Ann-Marie has been walking Mia during the week for a few months now and has proven to be very professional, consistent, responsible, and truly cares about Mia’s well being. I would 100% recommend her to for your pet care needs.”

“Michael was responsive to my texts and emails in a timely manner. He provided photos and updated me on her food and water intake and her bathroom breaks. I would recommend Michael and would use him again.”
About: I have my own dogs and treat them like they’re my children. I go out on walks pretty often and workout outside with my dogs just to stick with them. I can work anytime and any day except Friday and Saturday nights due to my part time job but any other day during the week is great! I play with them a lot, give treats but not too much, I watch tv with my dog and they seem to enjoy it as much as me!
About: I’ve had pets my entire life and for the past three years, I’ve started caring for others in addition to my own. I have experience caring for dogs and Cats of all different sizes and breeds. Any dog I’ve met I have loved like my own! Growing up, I had my German Shepherd, and two cats. From pet sitting, long or short walks, I’ve also administered medication to dogs of all ages and sizes. Our pups were rescued as well, with little training, so teaching them tricks was always a fun time! Thank You, From your animal caregiver. I’ve cared for puppies and for senior dogs with problems such as blindness and arthritis. I’m able to give them any medication required. And cats with catarects. I have a safe and large fenced in backyard. All dogs are separated at feeding times of 7am and 6pm, unless you feed more and have a slightly different schedule. I am used to serving regular dry, wet, mixtures, raw foods, and administering medications including injectables.
“Shannon came faithfully and walked my two dogs (even the feisty chihuahua, who can get nippy if rushed)—even in the rain. I think there was some initial miscommunication regarding the walking schedule, but in the end, the dogs were always walked, I always got the walking report, and Shannon regularly communicated her ETA. As a dog mom—my two dogs are like my little babies—I may have left notes that were too detailed, but ultimately everything turned out great.”
About: Hello, I've had dogs my whole life. I currently have one little Frenchie and sometimes help with my daughter’s father’s dog training facility. I’m open to walking and boarding dogs if needed. I currently work from home and live right by a huge dog friendly park. Very easy to take them out as I already take mines out about 4 or 5 times a day. I live in a one story house with a fenced yard and your fur babies are free to roam around or which ever you prefer.
“Veronica is punctual, pleasant, communicative, and most importantly our Scout loves taking walks with her. Looking forward to more walks with Veronica next week!”
“Eric was great, my dog usually poops on his walks and he didn’t poop on one of them so he spent an extra ten minutes walking him to get him to poop. Communicative and responds quickly too.”
About: I have been an animal care giver for most of my life being raised in the hills with horses dogs chickens and cats lol. I know how hard it is to trust someone with your animal, I would give you the reassurance you deserve knowing your pet will be loved and cared for in the safest and most responsible way. I have been a pet lover/owner my whole life and a pet nanny for almost 14. I have flown animals to and from destinations and have house sit animals of all kinds. When it comes to knowing your pet will be safe/cared for with a genuine love/interest for animals, and over all knowledge of animal behavior and needs, I’m your girl! I am currently a flight attendant looking for part time work. I work out of San Francisco. I have a frenchie named Dio. Born and raised in the bay. My favorite animal are cows. My favorite amphibian are frogs. I most relate to a cat. 😂 The most important thing when caring for another persons pet is knowing their routine and keeping them active in what they enjoy so there is less time to miss or worry about mom or dad lol. When I am caring for another animal in someone else’s home I would stick to their schedules with meals walks and play time. My routine for my dog walks after breakfast and dinner and afternoons are usually for cuddling and snacking lol.
About: Hello I go by Marney! I’ve had two family dogs and a cat since the age of six and now I have my own two dogs crazy that I treat as my own children. I’ve watched several neighbors dogs while they were away before and I have trained both of my dogs since they were puppies. I will always make sure dogs are comfortable around me before trying to interact with them. Feel free to request me for services even if my rates seem high I’d be happy to work something out <3 I am very flexible and working as a pet sitter/walker during the summer and holiday seasons since I am a teacher during the school year. More than happy to do drop ins and walks as well. Please feel free to reach out. I have a fenced in yard with plenty of space for your dog to run around and play. If I am pet sitting at your home I will gladly care for your pets in any way you tell me to.

Marin T.
“I’ve known Marin for almost ten years and one of the very first things I’ve noticed about her was her love for all animals, big or small. She rescued a Frenchie “Dio” a few years ago that was hellbent on wreaking havoc across all of the Bay Area. She still has Dio and he is the sweetest boy now thanks to Marin’s patience, care, training, and natural ability to assess animals’ needs. She takes care of him like a son and not in a sense that she takes care of basic needs, I’m talking spending thousands of dollars to get Dio the best emergency medical care possible. I’ve also had the pleasure of seeing Marin interact with and watch multiple animals at a time and she makes sure they are getting along, that they’re all exercised, and properly fed. I would trust Marin with my life, so I would absolutely trust her with my pets.”
Supriya L.
“Thanks for caring for our little ones. We’d def love to rebook with you.”
Marguerite H.
“Was in search for someone to watch my fur baby that didn’t charge outrageous prices. Came across Marney and have hired her ever since. She’s a dog mom herself & you can surely tell, my dog loves her :) I’ve hired previous pet sitters before & none of them clicked with my dog the same as Marney. I definitely recommend her if you’re looking for a kind, caring & flexible person!”
