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

“Jason was an excellent dog sitter for my two large and rambunctious shepherds. I was able to book drop in visits last minute which was a total life saver! My dogs were happy under his care and I highly recommend Jason to take care of your pets so you can have peace of mind while out of town.”

About: I love playing with dogs! They are so fun to play with. Of course, I do make sure they are well fed and that they’ve gone on their walks. I like to make sure their feeding area is clean so that they don’t pick any germs or parasites and get sick. If they have medication to take, I will happily give it to them without any fear of them potentially biting me or being a bit aggressive. I am available on Mondays until noon, Wednesdays until 1pm, and Fridays from 3pm-8pm. Tuesdays and Saturdays I’m free all day. Sundays I’m not available. I like to ask questions regarding their pets routine, conditions, etc. It helps me get to know more about the owner as well as their companion. I will always make sure their pet feels safe and that they can trust me. I like to greet myself with pets by holding my hand out for them to smell so that I can pet them with their permission.

“Zenzele dropped in with little notice when I mixed up my schedule, saving me an hour roundtrip when my pup needed to be hugged and fed. Thanks, Zenzele 👍🏼”

About: Hi there! I’m a total people person with a heart that easily extends to pups of all sizes! I’ve been working as an Autism Specialist since I was 19, so patience, intuition, and building strong, trusting connections are truly my superpowers. I like to say I have that special energy humans and dogs both adore! For the past 7 years, I’ve been dog sitting for families in and around my neighborhood, as well as my parents’ neighborhood, caring for their fur babies like they’re my own. I understand how important it is for your dog to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I live in a spacious 2bedroom apartment with a spare room that gives pups plenty of indoor space to play and relax. Our complex also has lots of grassy areas perfect for fresh air, potty breaks, and nice walks. Whether your dog loves a structured routine, playtime, or cozy cuddle sessions, I’m happy to meet their needs! I’m reliable, communicative, and naturally attentive. and I genuinely get excited to host and care for pups in my home. Your dog’s happiness and well being will always be my priority. I can’t wait to meet your fur baby! 🐶✨ I work from home on Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays, so your pup will have lots of supervision and attention on those days! I’m also available most weekends if you’re planning a little getaway and need reliable care! I care for every dog like they’re my own, keeping them on their normal routine as much as possible. I provide plenty of supervised playtime, structured walks, potty breaks, and cozy rest time in a safe, calm environment. I pay close attention to each dog’s personality and needs, whether they’re energetic and playful or prefer quiet cuddles and relaxation.

“5 stars for Kacie! So incredibly happy with how well she communicated and how sweet she was with our two kitties. Highly recommend.”

“I would highly recommend Vanessa as your pet sitter! She is attentive, respectful and communicative throughout her visits. I have a senior cat, Dexter, who requires daily medication that she was able to do in my absence. Dexter also warmed up nicely to her. Thank you Vanessa! Looking forward to hiring you again in the future.”

Katie S.

“Angelique is amazing! She was incredibly patient, kind, and willing to work with us through all of our crazy needs and our dog’s behavioral concerns. She is sweet, honest, and timely. We will absolutely use her again and again and highly recommend her to anyone needing care for their pets.”

About: ***COVID Safety — (OUR HOME IS FEVER FREE) we try to limit how many people come in and out our home especially during drop off and pick up times. Everything such as doors and gates are sanitized and wiped down after every visit. I do make sure my home is clean at all times so if your pup has any potty issues such as excessive marking, please talk to me before booking so we can discuss further. (Not an issue but I need to be informed beforehand) *** I also require up to date vaccinations of Bordatella,Distemper and Rabies prior to booking for safety. I’ve provided services and council to friends in need with pups of their own and Ive grown a passion for the care of dogs the most, so now I want to be able to provide food, shelter, care and most importantly affection to other pups. I have a fenced yard they can roam outside and inside my home is very spacious so they will have lots of room to play. I currently have one pup who I cherish deeply at home. Krylon loves to meet new people and other pups. He is very social and doesn’t mind sharing his toys and or his home. So your pup will not be alone staying here, there’s always someone here to play with. As long as your pup is here, they will be treated like family. At the end of your pups stay, I will always make sure they are bathed and ready to leave by pick up time. (If you do not want your pup to be bathed please let me know, I always try to make sure to have your pup cleaned and ready to go home) I am a full time dog mom who thrives on giving stimulation and enrichment to my dogs daily. I do work at a facility, which gives me more experience and room for improvement when needed. I can provide lots of toys and accessories as needed and do the utmost to make the owner sure comfort and attention will be given to their pup.

About: Hi! See my full schedule below :) I’ve lived with, taken care of, and travelled with dogs since I was a kid. I recently moved to San Leandro to stay with family while I prepare for grad school, so sadly, my best boy, Finn, is not with me - that’s part of why I want to walk your dog, haha - I need some dog time! My experience with dogs includes backpacking, backcountry skiing, mountain biking, and other off-leash activities that demand awareness and attention to detail. When caring for an animal, their wellbeing is always in the forefront of my mind. All dogs deserve love, and that means providing appropriate care for them, whether they are an elderly dog with limited mobility, or a restless dog that needs rigorous exercise. I’m here to help you provide that for your companion when your schedule makes it too difficult. —AVAILABILITY— Sunday: all day Monday: all day Tuesday: all day Wednesday: any time until 2:00 Thursday: any time until 2:00 Friday: any time until 2:00 Saturday: any time after 3:00 As a working musician, I currently have an irregular part-time schedule, and often I leave town to work for a few days at a time, so I will stay on top of updating my availability as soon as things come up! That said, I’m generally free most days, preferably from 9-5, but I can go earlier or later if necessary. I will block off days where I’m busy working as far ahead in advance as possible, and besides that, I’m usually free :) Generally speaking, I connect with dogs quickly. You can expect that when I walk your dog, I will be an attentive, fun, and protective companion for them. Your dog’s safety during our walk is my top priority. I will provide a reflective, durable leash, doggy bags, and all the pets/scratches/etc. required.

About: I got my first dog when I was in the 5th grade and took care of him with my grandmother until I moved away then I got two other dogs when I first moved I have been taking care of them ever since. I walk them multiple times a day and give them time to run as much as possible. I'm a full time student athlete at Chabot college so my weekdays currently are very full but I have weekends completely off, I would love to spend it meeting your lovely babies I have a back yard with a lot of space for dogs to run and play. I also live in a small and quiet community

“Marlene just did the first drop in visit for our two dogs. She was very communicative, punctual, and made sure to secure the house when she left. Plus it was a very rainy day, and she got the dogs all cleaned up when they came in from the yard. Glad we found a reliable person.”

Rachel D.

“Andrei was great. Very attentive and communicative. We left our cat and our home in wonderful hands. Certainly recommended!”

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!

“Alisha is a great dogsitter and even more understanding of our dogs that we consider our children. She did a wonderful job caring for our dogs that have separate personalities and we didn't worry one bit after her updates of them. She got our timid, frightful little dog to acclimate to her and feel trusted within a day and we couldn't have asked for anyone better to do the job!”

About: What can I say, I love dogs and I adore my pack. For the past 15+ years, I’ve worked with all kinds of dogs. From a professional doggy daycare environment to settings that are more immediate bonding with dogs, I’ve done it all. If you need someone to help walk or watch your pup, you can bet I’ll do it with love and high energy. I currently have two dogs of my own. Luna and Canella, and they are like yin and yang. Both sweet girls, but one will give you a run for your money. The other, you’d be begging her to make you walk. 😂 One knows a bunch of fun little tricks, the other is too nervous to get past “shake”. But that’s just how my girls are. I have a lot of free time. So I figured, fill it with something I enjoy, which is hanging out with a group of dogs. I love mine, but let me love yours too. I tend to keep my clients dogs close to me when I’m working with them. So where I go, that dog does as well. I also send video and picture updates whenever we’re doing something different in the day. One of my dogs loves to make new doggy friends, the other just hides in crate unless it’s a smaller dog.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes ages temperaments and abilities. I’m a huge dog lover and have experience working with puppies, and anxious babies who need time opening up and lots of exercise to help regulate. I also have experience with senior dogs I have no issue administering medication, blind and deaf seniors, and even pup who need a little extra bathroom help. My flexible schedule allows me to spend extra time for pups who need it and I enjoy every second connecting and learning from your pups! I only fitness classes during the week so I am busy 45 mins to an hour at a time so I have long blocks of availability in between the days I teach- if I am not teaching certain days I have full availability. I live in a quiet Oakland hills neighborhood with a park 5 minutes away perfect for fetching and several close by trails for long walks. I also have a fenced backyard that my family dog also plays in and there is lots of running space for your dog, I have a large two story home dogs are welcome to roam free but also have no problem crating them as well but i am more than happy to let them roam. Dogs typically sleep in my room, I am ok with dogs in bed if they are comfortable. I also aim for 3 walks a day, morning lunch and dinner, even if dogs are only fed twice I get an afternoon stroll in.

“Tabatha took great care of our pup, Cleo! Great communication with us, sent plenty of share-worthy photos, and treated our dog with kindness and respect. Thanks, Tabatha!”

“Megan is awesome. We have two fairly reactive dogs who require a special touch. Megan was amazing and gave wonderful updates. We will book with her again!”

About: I’ve always had dogs and cats, I love animals and treat them like family!! Taking hikes and long walks with animals are a good way of relaxing for me!! Rest assured your dog is in good care when I am around!! When dropping your dog off MAKE sure that you set the time and dates you want… If you set a drop off time in the morning and drop them off the night before then it WILL add an extra night! Thank you. Right now I’m taking online classes so I am available to take your dog out on walks whenever is best available for you!!! Monday-Sunday usually but I will stay connected with you to let you know! I know how wild dogs can be when not being walked or given attention!! Lots of loves and walks are necessary to keep your dog calm through the day and I will provide that!!

About: I’ve grown up around animals my whole life, and I currently have three dogs and one cat who I love like family. I’ve also cared for several of my aunt’s pets over the years, so I’m very comfortable with different personalities, routines, and needs. I care deeply about animals and their wellbeing, and I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just keeping them company, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’d be happy to give your pets the same level of care and attention! As a senior in high school, I keep a consistent routine that makes it easy to fit in pet care. I’m home before the late afternoon most days, which gives me plenty of time for walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins. On weekends, my schedule is very open, so I am able to spend even more time with pets and be flexible for longer visits or multiple walks. Since I already care for my own pets daily, adding additional pet care fits naturally into my regular routine. If needed, I can adjust my schedule to make sure every pet gets reliable attention and care. When I care for pets in my home, I focus on creating a comfortable environment. I make sure they have all their necessities like water, food, and plenty of play and attention. Since I have three dogs and a cat, I’m used to managing different personalities and making sure everyone gets the type of interaction they need. In a clients home, I’ll ensure to follow their routines closely so the pets feels secure and consistent. I’ll make sure to follow any rules and schedules, and especially make sure to bond with the pet so they feel relaxed while their owner is away!
