Pet Sitting & Drop Ins in Sheffield Village, Oakland, CA

About: I've been a cat lover my whole life. While growing up, my mom's allergies prevented me from having a cat of my own, so I only had dogs. You can only imagine my joy when my neighbours would ask me to be their cat sitter! When I got married, one of the first things I did was adopt my own cats: Pablo, our 15-year-old tuxedo cuddle monster who we’ve had for 13 years; and Bernie, our spirited 5-year-old brown tabby we adopted as a kitten. To this day, I still have friends and new neighbour who ask me to be their cat sitter when they go out of town. As cat parent, I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust to care for your cat while you’re away, and I’d love to help make your time away a little easier—for you and your cat! Whether it’s to feed them, clean their litter box, playing with them, or just some comforting company, you can rest assured they'll receive the same attention I give my own cats. I'm also comfortable taking care of small and medium-sized dogs if they are also part of your family, and you can also rely on me to water your indoor and outdoor plants, collect your mail, and bring in your bins if it’s the end of collection day. I'm currently prioritizing cat care for my clients. For most of the year, I am available 7 days a week to your home to check on and care for your fur babies. I will come to your home as requested to feed your cats, change their water, and scoop their litter. If they need additional care with brushing, exercise, or other attention, please let me know.

“Angelique is the BEST!!! I have an elderly 14 year old Pitmix with high dietary supplement and high care needs. My character-judgung do g took to ger instantly with her loving animal vibe. She was loving, patient and took pics with sweet notes to settle any of my anxiousness about leaving her. She also took amazing care of my shy cat and my mouse. And she did small chores for a minimal fee. Angelique is dependable and when I got home I was so impressed on how she maintained my home and furbabies. We would hire her again as we would look no further!!! Thanks , Angelique 😍🤩”

“Megan did such an amazing job taking care of our pup for us. It is obvious that she LOVES dogs, and our dog LOVED her. She sent us lots of pictures and videos and went completely above and beyond what was expected. We are so grateful and will definitely ask Megan to take care of our pup again, especially since I’m pretty sure our dog misses her already. Thank you so much, Megan!”

“I was in a bind because I had to go on a work trip. So this was my first time having Marlene take care of my doggies. I am always reluctant to have new people in my home, taking care of my babies. But, after meeting her both I and my little guys felt comfortable. I returned to find my little guys very happy and well taken care of. While I was gone, she sent pictures each day. She was also very responsive whenever I reached out. I would definitely recommend Marlene and will be calling on her again in the future.”

“Sarah and her partner Embry did a wonderful job taking care of our two kitties. They communicated clearly and frequently each visit with updates and followed our instructions well. One of our cats is usually very shy with new people but he warmed up to them immediately and we could tell both of them were happy. We will definitely be rebooking with them in the future”

About: I had my own very cherished Mini Pinscher Leah that passed away a few years ago. Since then, I’ve really missed the companionship of pets but am not yet ready for a commitment after that grief. I cat sit for my sister regularly, and am looking to be of help to any families/pet owners in my local community whose pets I can treat with care and respect. I am available to walk any dogs after work ends at 6 PM and am happy to have any pets board with me on the weekends! I have a fenced yard and no pets or babies in my home, just myself and two adult roommates. I’m ready to customize my house to be safe and suited for any pet that will be boarding here, and can walk dogs in my neighborhood at any time.

About: I've been puppy sitting for my neighbor who told me all about rover. And said I'd be great at it so here testing my luck . I have a 7m old Malitpoo, who's full of energy and would love meeting some new paw pals while we're at it! For the summer I'm am Available 7 days a week! 24/7. I start work back in August and will be happy adjusting with any clients that are continuous I have a pup right now so o try to get her out of the house first thing in the morning. I like getting all of their wake up zoomies out before it's too hot outside. It really helps to do this as they are more attentive during training after they have played

“I always have a piece of mind when I travel knowing Vanessa will check in on my cat Snorri. The visit notes and photos are especially thoughtful. Overall very happy with her care!”

About: I had my own pet sitting business for many years, and have been taking care of dogs and cats my whole life. I also do volunteer dog walks at the animal shelter so I’m experienced with all types of dogs. My sweet baby angel dog of 13 years was special needs (cancer and diabetes) so I am very familiar with animals that require medical treatments and special needs. He recently passed so I’m looking for ways to be around dogs again. I love them all, all ages all sizes all shapes. Please let me meet them. I work from 5am-4pm Monday-Friday (every other Friday off), but I just moved to the area so I’m available pretty much whenever I’m not at work. I will take your pup out for a walk wherever you want, or come play with them and take care of them at your place. Will send lots of pictures.

About: With 16 years of hands-on experience, I bring a calm, confident energy that pets (and their humans!) trust. I’m currently caring for my own sweet 15-year-old senior pup, so I’m especially tuned in to the needs of older pets—whether it’s medication, slow strolls, or just a little extra TLC. I’ve seen it all, from wiggly puppies to wise old souls, and I treat every pet like they’re family. My goal? To make tails wag and hearts feel at ease. Pet care fits naturally into my routine—I work from home and have a flexible schedule, so I’m available during the day for walks, check-ins, or cuddle breaks. Whether it’s a midday stroll or a bit of playtime to break up the day, I love incorporating pet care into my everyday rhythm. It keeps me moving, smiling, and surrounded by furry joy—what could be better? In my home, pets are treated like part of the family! I have a sweet senior dog who’s very friendly and laid-back, so visiting pets get a calm, welcoming vibe. I’ve got a fenced-in backyard for safe outdoor time, and I’m happy to follow whatever routine makes your pet feel most comfortable—whether that means crate time, couch time, or anything in between. In clients' homes, I aim to keep their pet’s routine consistent and stress-free, with lots of love, attention, and belly rubs!

“Caitlin was amazing - she was extremely punctual, reliable and communicative. We came back to a happy cat and house. Would totally recommend her anytime”

About: Hi, Meghan here, I have always been a dog-lover, and currently have a lovable fluffy husky. 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 and Winston at home, join us on walks, and get to spend the day with us! 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!
