Pet Sitting & Drop Ins in Shepherd Canyon, Oakland

“Christine was such a wonderful sitter for our two cats - we felt in great hands during our trip and she sent purrfect updates and photos.? Even so kind as to tidy up around the litter box. We're happy to have her again in the future!”

“Thea was AMAZING! We had a very last minute booking and are so thankful she was available! Even though it was last minute, she took time for a phone call to clarify all instructions! She was very prompt in her responses and sent lots of updates and cute photos! Everything we requested was done perfectly and the dogs seemed very happy (and a little tired!) when we arrived back home! Will absolutely book again! 10/10 puppy friend!!”

About: I have been caring for pets since I was a child. I have cared for dogs with physical disabilities and who require medications. I am also a nurse so feel very comfortable in the caregiving role. I work from home so have a reasonable amount of flexibility. I take my own dogs for a walk twice a day and regularly visit dog parks for socialization. I have a fully enclosed deck with yard space. I have two dogs of my own one of whom is blind. My kids are 12 and 14 and they also love pets. They would enjoy playing with new pups if the owner's approve.

“Devyn was helpful and attentive to my cat! I appreciated that Devyn asked me exactly how to help and I felt that my kitty was safe and sound.”

“This was my first time using a pet sitter for my kittens. Aaron patiently answered all my questions and was clearly knowledgeable about caring for cats. He was pleasant to work with and communicative at every step. I came home to a clean house and two happy cats. Couldn't be happier!”

“Zara took such good care of our two cats for 8 days while we were away. We got detailed pictures every day of what they were up to and their food and bathroom breaks, which gave us peace of mind knowing everything was going well! Would definitely recommend Zara to take care of your furr babies :) Thanks again, Zara!”

“Grace is very trustworthy and dependable. I never have concerns leaving my fur babies (1 dog and 2 cats) in her care. She spends time just cuddling and playing with them above and beyond the essential duties of feeding, medicating, walking, and litter scooping. They clearly like to see her and so having her around makes that part of my leaving home completely stress-free. If an issue arises or she has a question/concern about their behavior or whatever she’s very reliable about reaching out via text or email. I have no reservations in recommending her as a pet sitter.”

“Bella was such an amazing dog walker for my two dogs. She was always reliable and patient with the dogs. Thank you so much Bella!”

“Zoe took such great care of Charlie, we feel so lucky to have found her!! She’s super communicative and so kind. We 100% trust her with our doggo.”

“Candice is amazing! Having been raised around a ton of animals, Candice is a born caregiver whose love for cats and dogs (and other animals too!) makes her an ideal candidate to care for your furry friend. She is kind, loving, and gentle with animals, and a responsible and trustworthy person overall. She always goes above and beyond in the care she gives, and the animals absolutely love her (as do people). I wouldn't hesitate for a moment to recommend Candice as a pet sitter, and am confident that she'll make you feel as comfortable and supported leaving your animal in her care as you possibly could with anyone other than yourself. A+ candidate!”

“Kay has brought a pleasant, gentle, and attentive attitude to both my cat and our correspondence. I greatly appreciate her service in the pet care. Both my cat and I have felt a safety in attending and watching over what matters to us. And bonus, I returned home to a unclustered space.”

“Thanks Michelle for taking good care of Joey on short notice. Really appreciate your help!”

“Tanze was great with our 2 cats for a long weekend! She was incredibly communicative & included great pictures & very detailed and funny updates about how they were doing. One of our cats needs medicine 2x/day and Tanze handled that fine as well. Would not hesitate to rebook or recommend to others looking for a reliable sitter that really cares about your pets!”

“Kelsey was phenomenal with Bettie, our aging indoor cat. She was thoughtful, diligent, communicative, and sent great updates with photos. The photos showed her snuggling with our baby and the updates were really helpful. Totally eased our anxiety about being away from our elderly cat. Can’t recommend her enough.”

“For the past five years, Sophia has taken care of our 12 year old dog Pepper, and 6 year old cat Brix when we have gone out of town. It was apparent from the beginning that Sophia really loves animals. Our pets were always very well cared for with regular walks for Pepper and combings for Brix. Each time we came home to a clean house and contented pets. I highly recommend Sophia to provide the loving care that your pets deserve!”

“George is a top notch caretaker. He is always there for us when we need him and our dog (Bucky) loves him so much! George is our first call when we know we are going out of town and our pup can't tag along. Our dog has some fears around new people, but George has a way with dogs that makes them feel relaxed and safe right away. We totally trust him and highly recommend him!”

“Emma is great with our dogs. She has watched them multiple times and they both love her. We have two larger dogs, both around 100 pounds and they’re both relatively high energy. Emma has watched them both without issue and every time they see her now they get super excited because they know they’re going to get a lot of exercise and attention. I would recommend Emma to anybody who needs a dog sitter or dog walker. She truly cares about all dogs and does a great job of understanding and working with them.”

“Jay really goes above and beyond. It's obvious that our pets are cared for while we are away, Jay always treats them with such detailed attention.”

“Doro is terrific with animals! As a parent to three pets, Doro understands how important it is to tailor one's approach to the specific needs of the animal. Doro is a compassionate, patient, and enthusiastic care taker. They are also a great communicator. When caring for pets, Doro asks for emergency contact information and for medical history of the pet. They also are sure to communicate when they have arrived or dropped off an animal. Doro is professional and I would trust them with my own pets.”

“Michelle is amazing. Our cat is very sensitive and clever and Michelle quickly bonded with her and we were confident when we left our cat with her. Grateful for the notes and pictures she sent us while we were traveling.”
