She's a quick and clear communicator, she was thorough in our initial meet and greet and in her visits with my cats, and she did a wonderful job caring for them and attending to other details in the house. I will definitely book with Shanley again next time I go out of town!”

6. Juliana & Katherine Q.
About: Our pets are family. My approach is a balance of attention and simple structure that makes for happy socialization. My partner and I have always had cats and dogs and I have experience with everything from puppyhood to the special healthcare challenges of senior pets (including administration of oral meds and injected insulin) I used to walk dogs back in college as a part-time job. Now, I am excited to make some new 4-legged friends and get out for some exercise together. I work from home part-time and with a very flexible schedule. I do long walks in the morning and afternoon and, if staying with us, in addition to walks, your doggie will have full access to the yard during the day to sunbathe and play. If house sitting at yours, I will be on hand with your pet at a minimum in the morning, for a few hours mid-day, and then all evening and night. We have a large fenced yard and two small, friendly pups (9lb young female yorkie and 12lb female coton de tulear) to play with. "The girls" are not crated at night, but I am happy to set up your pup's normal sleeping area if staying with us. For dog walking, I do 30-45 minute adventures with priority given to clients located in Oakland's Laurel, Dimond, Maxwell Park, and Redwood Heights neighborhoods. Ideally, your dog loves walking with some friends, but we can customize for personal pup needs.




7. Kye O.
“I've been a client of Kye's for seven years. He's watched my two cats, a chaotic crew of chickens, and my 2 naughty dogs (pitty mixes raised on a wolf sanctuary). My partner and I feel so confident and safe leaving our animal family in his care. He provides excellent and prompt updates, he's respectful of our space, and our home is always cleaner than we left it! He also has quite the green thumb and cares for our plant friends as well. 10/10 would recommend!”


8. Hans L.

“Hans was so great with my cats, I got daily updates with pictures and came home to healthy and happy guys!”


9. Dennis H.

“Dennis is amazing with my girls, he's our go-to person! Will always rebook with him”


10. Lee J.
“I couldn’t be more grateful for Lee! She takes incredible care of my senior chihuahua, Nicco, and he absolutely adores her. Every time I pick him up, he’s so happy and content. Lee’s space is not only safe but also wonderfully pet-friendly, which gives me peace of mind knowing that Nicco is in the best hands. Thank you, Lee, for always going above and beyond!”


11. Cindy D.

“Cindy and Cesar were both great with my two cats!! They sent updates and pictures after each visit to help calm my worries while I was away. Would be happy to recommend them.”


12. Melina B.

“Melina is WONDERFUL! She came in 3 days this week and each day did an INCREDIBLE JOB! She keeps me and my boyfriend super up to date with communication, videos, and pictures ❤️ If I have any questions, Melina responds immediately. And she follows any requests for Ivy (our pup) closely. Looking forward to having Melina come back to watch Ivy soon☺️”


13. Jessica A.
About: I don’t just care for your pets, I treat them as part of my family. I love spending time with them, whether it’s playing, resting, or giving them attention, and I want your pet to feel loved at all times. I am currently available to care for your pets at any time, whether it’s during the day, night, or weekends. I offer flexible scheduling to fit your needs and ensure your pets receive the care and attention they deserve. I know that the most important thing is pet care, and one of those is their feeding. I can provide food at any necessary time, in case they have a specific feeding schedule, and I can do it without any problem. I will also dedicate enough time for play or bathroom breaks.


14. Sarah V.

“Sarah was very sweet with our kitty, providing food and play and sending plenty of photos to keep us updated. Our cat really seemed to like her, too. Highly recommended!”


15. Magdalena H.

“Magdalena is great. She is our go-to sitter for our doodle Teddy! He requires very precise administration of medicines, feeding in a Bailey chair for megaesophagus, and needs constant supervision. She was excellent at providing constant photo updates, following instructions, and engaging with him. He hasn't been feeling well lately, so we have been requiring more recent drop-in checks and Magdalena has been very accommodating with scheduling.”


16. Alexis S.
“You won’t find another person sweeter and more loving for your pets than Alexis. I would trust Alexis with my life. Always on time. Always ready to work. Always ready to be the sweetest person you and your fur baby have ever met.”
