I am excited to meet your companions. UC Berkeley grad, go bears ! (And dogs! and cats!) I have completed 102 walks with a 5 star rating on Wag! and am adding Rover on for potential new clients.

I always ensure entrances are locked and pets are leashed up upon entry and exit. My own home has a fenced yard and all toxic items are out of reach

About: I grew up with three dogs ranging from small to large breeds, so caring for dogs has always been a natural part of my life. I also have experience dog sitting and understand how important it is to keep pets comfortable and stick to their usual routines while their family is away. These days, I’m also a proud cat parent to my two loving cats, Nori and Aya. They’ve given me plenty of experience with different cat personalities, playtime, feeding, litter care, brushing, and of course knowing when a cat wants attention versus when they would rather have some space. I’m comfortable caring for both cats and dogs and will treat your pets with the same patience and attention I give my own. I’m available for weekend drop-in visits, starting Friday evening through Sunday. I have more flexibility throughout Saturdays and Sundays, so I can usually work around your pet’s normal feeding, walking and care routine. Having my own pets, I understand how much trust it takes to let someone into your home and care for an animal you love. I’ll follow your instructions closely and keep your pet’s routine as familiar as possible. I’ll make sure doors and gates are secure, food and medications are handled according to your instructions, and I’ll pay attention to any changes in behavior or anything that seems unusual. You can also expect an update and photos during each visit so you know your pet is safe and happy.

“Cassandra was great! She was very communicative and timely and took great care of Almond. I’ll definitely be reaching out to her again for any future needs.”

About: I’ve built a loyal client base since 2022 primarily through word of mouth and have many excellent references. I have experience caring for dogs with a wide range of personalities, needs, and routines, and I consider myself well-prepared to handle a variety of situations. I’m highly communicative, proactive, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. I always strive to go the extra mile for my clients, making sure both pets and their people feel heard, respected, and confident in their care. This work brings me a great deal of joy, and I genuinely love getting to know and care for each animal. I work remotely, which gives me the flexibility to provide pet care throughout the week and travel across the Bay Area for in-home sits. Pets are also welcome to stay with me at my Emeryville loft. I have an 8-year-old Chihuahua-Terrier mix who is friendly with most animals and mostly keeps to himself. I prioritize regular walks, play, enrichment, and plenty of affection throughout the day. When caring for dogs in their home, I aim for 2–3 walks daily on safe, familiar routes; there is also a dog park directly across from my loft if that’s a good fit for the dog. I follow each client’s care instructions closely, communicate proactively if questions come up, and keep clients updated with photos and messages so they can feel confident their pets are happy and well cared for.

“Shirley is great! Our cat liked her immediately. She was easy to work with and accommodated multiple last-minute changes due to unforeseen circumstances. I highly recommend her.”

About: Hi! My name is Ryan and I would love to meet and take care of your pet(s)! I've grown up with dogs and cats in the house and have always felt a very loving bond and connection with animals. I had two cats that passed away a little while ago so I now have more time and space to care for other peoples’ animals. I'm respectful, honest, and a good communicator. I am very conscientious and considerate of other people's space, and will make sure to keep your house nice and clean! I am very flexible and can adapt and personalize services to meet the needs of you and your pet. I work part time so I have a lot of flexibility and will be able to spend lots of time at your house and play/care for your pet. I will keep your house as neat/clean as it was when you left it. I am respectful and considerate of other people's homes/property. I've used pet sitters in the past so I know what how it feels to entrust someone in your home and I don't take that lightly.

About: I have taken care of pets almost my whole life. We always had 2 dogs growing up and were consistently surrounded by more regularly. I house sat and dog sat regularly since middle school and now into adulthood. I am working part time and have a very flexible schedule currently. Can accommodate changes and am willing to make your pets a priority when needed. I always treat pets as if they were my own with care and affection. There is nothing better than a house critter to come home to and feel their unconditional love, and it’s important to me to make them feel comforted and loved back.

About: Hey I’m Izzy! I’m here to treat your fur babies as if they’re mine. When I’m with your dog I like to stimulate their mind by bringing treats and toys and have fun with some training (of course with your permission first!). I am currently a self employed dog trainer so I do know how to handle different types of dogs. My main experience is training and I frequently work with service dogs. I have experience with all kinds of temperaments so don’t be shy to let me know if your dog has an anxiety issue or is overly excited. My upmost important priority is making your dog feel as comfortable as possible when he or she is under my care. I can’t wait to meet all these beautiful faces! I am also a student and still new to the bay area. Luckily at the moment my schedule is rather flexible, I can potentially adjust my schedule for your pet on certain occasions! I will follow whatever instructions you give me when I stay over at your home. There will be constant supervision when let outside or on a walk. Your dog will have a warm bed (or crate) to sleep in and their mental + physical needs will be met everyday!

About: Hi! We’ve loved and cared for dogs with all kinds of personalities, and we’ll treat your pets like our own. Our most recent love was Luna, a 7-year-old Staffy-Lab pictured in our profile, who sadly passed from lymphoma after a year of chemotherapy. We’re not quite ready for a new fur baby of our own, but we miss having animal energy around and would love to care for yours. Tiff also raised a Chi-Weenie from puppyhood through her senior years, so we know just how special the bond with a dog can be. We work from home so we’re available for walks, feeding, and lots of playtime! Our schedules are flexible which means lots of love and pets available to your fur baby. We always make sure your dog is securely fitted in their harness and/or leash before leaving for walks. We also double check to make sure everything is locked up before leaving.

About: For 5 years I worked at a dog daycare with all kinds of canines! For most of my time there, I was an overnight caretaker, solely responsible for anywhere between 5-99 dogs. I’ve worked with pups of all ages, many breeds, and many needs. Before that, I spent my teenage years volunteering at a local shelter, where I walked and cuddled dogs from all walks of life, and got the hang of getting nervous newcomers out of their shell. And it’s not just dogs I love, but all kinds of critters big and small! I have a cat and lizard, I enjoy any opportunity I have to cat-sit, and exotic pets whose care may be more than some want to handle are my pleasure! I’m happy to tailor care however you’d like to give your little friend the best! I’m free for the summer before my classes start, which gives me plenty of opportunity to care for your pets! I am mostly available after noon, and my availability is very open on all days but Friday I can only do walks or home visits as my house is already occupied by a disapproving cat, but while I’m with your pet I’ll be sure to give them exactly the care they need! I’m happy to give walks and visits where they’ll have all my attention, and I have experience administering any medication (non-injectable) that they require. If they’re just in need of company, I can supervise them in your yard, cuddle or hold them, or simply work quietly nearby if they would rather do their own thing without being alone. When I’m with your pet, I will always be reachable, so if you need to give instructions or check in on your pet, I can respond immediately

About: For the last four years I’ve lived in a home with two Rhodesian Ridgebacks. One was a senior at 13 years old and the other is three. I’ve learned how to adapt to their different needs based on age and personality while setting boundaries and aligning to my Housemate’s desires for their care. (Which has helped me get to know new dogs pretty quickly.) We walk, play and cuddle. When needed I administer medication, feed them, and sometimes cook for them. I look forward to chatting with you about your family’s needs. When house sitting I do not schedule any other families for walks or drop-ins. The care I provide is all inclusive so that your baby gets all of my love and care. If I am not house sitting, I’m available everyday after 11am for walks and drop-ins within a 1 mile radius of lower Rockridge or easily reachable by public transportation. To ensure safety and comfort, I won’t be walking any other dogs outside of your household. I am available to spend time with your pet(s) in their home where they will be the most comfortable. I’ll come to you for walks.

About: 🐾 A Loving Home Away From Home for Your Dog Welcome! My name is Chen zhang, and I'm a full-time, work-from-home pet sitter who provides personalized care in a peaceful, loving environment. Your dog will enjoy constant companionship throughout the day, with plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. Since pet sitting is my full-time job, I can closely follow your dog's routine, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special care they may need. One of the best parts of my home is the cozy private garden, where dogs can safely explore, relax, and soak up the sunshine. We're also just a short walk from San Pablo Park, a beautiful dog-friendly park that offers plenty of space for exercise, sniffing adventures, and fun outdoor play. I believe every dog deserves patience, kindness, and respect. Whether your pup is energetic, shy, a senior, or a puppy, I'll care for them according to their unique personality and needs. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can enjoy peace of mind while you're away. My goal is simple: to make your dog feel safe, happy, and loved—as if they were part of my own family. I can't wait to welcome your furry friend into my home! In addition, I’ve had dogs for over 16 years and truly understand how to care for animals with patience and love. I also have experience rescuing and helping stray dogs and cats, so I’m very attentive to different personalities, emotions, and special needs. My doggies back in China are all rescued and adopted by me and my family. I’m comfortable caring for both dogs and cats, including senior pets who need extra patience and gentle attention. I treat every pet like family and always try to make them feel safe, calm, and loved while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I’m available full-time and can provide care every day, including weekdays and weekends. I have a flexible schedule, so pets receive plenty of attention, supervision, walks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. Caring for dogs is something I truly enjoy, and I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re with me. I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment for pets both in my home and in my client’s home. I carefully follow each pet’s usual routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any special care instructions. I pay close attention to their behavior and comfort to help them feel relaxed and secure while their owners are away. In my home, pets receive plenty of supervision, affection, clean spaces, fresh water, and regular exercise. In my client’s home, I respect the pet’s familiar environment and maintain their normal routine as closely as possible to reduce stress. I also send regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident that their pets are happy and well cared for.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for the past 3 years and absolutely love spending time with them. A family member owns a farm, and when their dog had puppies, I helped care for the litter and learned how important patience, love, and attention are. I treat every dog like my own and always make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. As a college student, I have free gaps between classes that allow me to provide reliable pet care, walks, playtime, and attention throughout the day. I follow each pet’s routine carefully, provide food and water, give plenty of attention, ensure safety, and keep their environment clean and comfortable for the pets and owners.

“Nataly really saved the day for us. We had to take a last minute trip and Nataly took care of our 9 year old Tabby. She communicated with such kindness and care during and after every visit. We’ll definitely be going with her in the future and would HIGHLY recommend for your pet sitting needs. 10/10!!”
