Pet Sitting & Drop Ins in Shepherd Canyon, Oakland

“Marina is amazing! Very trustworthy, attentive and loving.”

“Shanley was great with my dog Shane. Wonderful attentive care! He was very relaxed when I got home thanks to her making him so comfortable.”

“Madeline did a great job watching our 1 year old Zuko. She was very communicative and sent plenty of pictures! Even dealt with getting into our apartment after we had accidentally locked the door. Would recommend!”

“Christine was excellent. She was very responsive and communicative throughout the whole process. More importantly, she was able to connect with our skittish cat. I would have no hesitation in hiring Christine again or recommending her to another pet owner”

“Susan was prompt and kind. I could really tell she cares about dogs. She asked great questions, making sure she knew everything she needed to know to properly care for Lucy. Highly recommend!”

“We are so grateful to have met Jj and have a trusted person to take care of our 2 cats while we are away. Our kitties are very shy/anxious and Jj has complete understanding of how to accommodate their personalities. Jj has now twice done a great job of taking care of their needs while letting the cats stay in their comfort zone. We will absolutely have Jj visit again and would highly recommend them. They were thorough & asked great questions at our meet and greet too. Thank you Jj!”

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 dog for a walk twice a day and regularly visit dog parks for socialization. I have a fully enclosed deck/yard. We have lots of toys and balls for the dogs to play. My teen kids also love pets. They would enjoy playing with new pups if the owner's approve.

“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☺️”

“Sophie is lovely, and communication was great!”

“Thank you Dean for taking care of Willow!! I felt very safe and comfortable knowing she was in good hands!!”

“Vanessa was an amazing caretaker to my two cats! She won over both of their hearts, took great pictures, and stayed past the scheduled time. It seems like she truly enjoyed spending time caring for them. Would love to have her babysit them again.”

“Lauren is awesome! She was available to meet last minute as I had some weekend plans that I needed doggy care for. She’s very kind and detailed and I van tell Noodles feels really comfortable around her gentle nature!”

“Lauren is fantastic and took such good care of my dogs when I went out of town the last 3 times. One of my dogs has pretty big separation anxiety when I leave, and I was extremely grateful to Lauren for being so reliable, for playing with them, for hiding treats in their treat mats, and overall making them feel safe and happy. I highly recommend Lauren for all the above reasons. They are great!”

About: We've loved dogs our whole lives and joined Rover with the dream of opening our own doggy daycare someday. We bring hands-on experience, having raised our two dogs—a beagle and a basset hound—from tiny pups to well-behaved adults. Our apartment building has a dog park, that provides an ideal space for quick potty breaks and playdates with other pups. Having two pups of our own, pet care is already integrated into our daily routine. We have flexible work home jobs, ensuring your pup gets enough attention & potty breaks throughout the day. We’ll always be keeping an eye on your pup. Since there’s two of us, there will always ways be someone there with them, and they’ll never be left alone.

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

About: My husband & I have been raised with pets our entire lives. We are proud to say that we’re experienced and extremely responsible animal lovers who believe pets are our kids……so much so that our vets said we are one of the best pet owners they’ve encountered and love to be our “kids” in their next lives. 🤣 We focus on quality care, love & positive energy over anything else. As loving pet parents, we understand it’s a huge decision when you have to leave your fur babies in strangers' hands. Rest assured we hold up to our words, we’ll love and care for them just like our own!!! Our goal is to always put ourselves in your shoes and their paws😆 and provide the best-pampered care for your babies and peace of mind while you’re away. He/she will be accompanied by us 24/7, NEVER be left alone & treated like a number! His/Her safety and comfort are our TOP TOP TOP priority when staying with us, we PROMISE!!! We’re home full-time, therefore we’re happy to host babies with separation anxiety. We’re generally flexible with drop off/pick up schedules. Communication & mutual respect are key factors to any positive relationships. 😊 We also offer hourly daycare services, please contact us for rate details. Our home has an ample fenced backyard, near trails and parks, so there are plenty of outdoor opportunities for attentive walks & playtime to keep your little ones active & happy. The interior is padded with floor mats for comfort, slip & fall prevention. We also have a separate floor guest quarter that’s perfect for cat(s) and dog(s) who do not care to interact with other animals as we do have the sweetest senior rescue, Augustina🐶. She likes all new friends but minds her own business most of the time😆. Given that said, we do require your pup(s) are human friendly.😅.

“we love cassandra!”

“Kit did an excellent job taking care of my dog, Derby! She was a loving caregiver and very responsible. I felt safe knowing that my pet was in good and capable hands”

“Sebastien has watched and walked all three of my dogs multiple times with no issues and they are a handful :) We have two 95 lb Weimaraners and a 15 lb fluffy thing. and wrangling them all at once can be a choir. They love him and look forward to his arrival everytime.”
