Pet Sitting & Drop Ins in Sobrante Park, Oakland

“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.”

About: Hello! I have been a pet care provider on Wag since 2018, but have had this immense love for animals all my life…I’m a passionate and responsible pet sitter with 6+ years of experience. From general practice hospitals to animal shelters and currently FT at an ER veterinary specialty hospital as a vet tech providing compassionate and attentive care to all animals! PS: I have 3 fur babies of my own - 2 bunnies + a cat 🐾🫶🏼 I work full time currently but always can make something work! That being if they’re sittings, drop in visits in the morning and afternoon/evening. Boardings I can stay overnight do the same procedure as I would for sitting only I’d leave to work from your home and come back to your home. Walks the exact same before and after work if that is something that works for you otherwise like I said I will make sure to do all In my power to accommodate your needs and my schedule so we’re all happy! 🙂 I care for your pets as you would, accommodating to their needs as well as making sure they’re comfortable and happy and follow through with your step by step care instructions. 🥰

“Natalia is amazing and she was great with my dog! She was punctual and responsive and also sent great pics of my dg while we were out of town. Will totally use her services again! Thank you!”

“Nicole made it through four wonderful days of D0gen care before she was sadly felled by strep throat and had to terminate her care. I had made back-up arrangements which she handled with great responsibility so that Dogen suffered almost no trauma as her sudden departure! He's now happy and so am I, and just hoping Nicolde gets well soon!”

“Priscilla is one of a kind. She is a reliable person and goes above and beyond when it comes to taking care of my 70lb pitbull. You can tell right away how much she cares for others and how important their needs are. She is confident and strong. I have left her with my dog for over a week before and know if I needed her to watch him for longer I would trust he would be in good hands and would not be worried one bit while away. She is active which helps because with bigger dogs you definitely need someone who is down to go on a lot of walks and tire them out. She is clean and respectful of spaces. I would 100% recommend her as an amazing pet caregiver”

“Elias has such a contagious personality that it's impossible not to feel at ease around him. His warmth, enthusiasm, and positive energy shine through in everything he does, making him an absolute joy to be around. When he cared for our cat while my partner and I were out of the country, his upbeat nature not only made our cat feel safe and loved but also made us feel completely comfortable and stress-free. He has an incredible way of making everyone feel special, whether they’re human or animal, and that’s just one of the many reasons why he’s such an amazing person and would be do an exceptional job pet setting through Rover.”

“As I’ve reviewed Katie before for a day of boarding, this will be one dedicated to her drop ins. I have had Katie as my dog’s prime sitter for the past two months and after an experience with her, you will not look any further! All of her day time drop ins have been excellent, but tonight’s ordeal really takes the cake. I had a sudden change of plans and needed to stay very late into the AM hours at work, and Katie just did a drop in for me to let my dog potty, and get a run in, and eat. Even on her busiest day of the week she was able to go completely out of her way at a very late hour to help me and Luka out. Thank you Katie for always going above and beyond in your services!”

“Very dependable and helpful. Took care of our pet very well. I recommend her”

“Bethany was my neighbor and would take care of my little one when I was on vacation. I always knew she would send photos and update me, as well as ask me any questions she might have. It was great to know I had someone nearby who cared for him like I did (he has since passed away from old age). He would always get excited to see her because she brought hai favorite treats.”

“Sarah was a lifesaver! She checked in on our boy on Christmas and provided a friendly update with pictures. Sarah helped us enjoy our holiday to the fullest. She’s very professional and her expertise is evident.”

“Lisa is incredible! She’s not only a lover of animals, but has dedicated her life to saving dogs!! We rescued our dog, Finney, from her rescue organization over a year ago and she has been a HUGE help in our transition into being doggo parents :) Lisa dog sits for us very regularly. Only dog owners know how awesome it feels to go on a trip knowing that your dog is in great, trusted hands. Our dog always comes back tired and happy! Thanks, Lisa!!”

“Jaime is so sweet and kind with our dog. He looked forward to seeing her and was always happy when she came to the house. She is super flexible to work with”

“Tina was amazing at making Maple feel comfortable and quickly built rapport with her. She followed my instructions and was able to give the most care to Maple.”

“This was my first booking on rover and I was so anxious about leaving my dog with someone I didn’t know. Anais communicated well and frequently with me. I felt so much better knowing my dog was being taken care of!”

“We are so grateful for Megan! She is so amazing with our dog. The most important thing is that she loves our dog, which she absolutely does, but she also goes out of her way to make the experience great for the humans. She always sends updates and pictures and lets us feel comfortable knowing our girl is being taken care of when we can’t take her with us. Thank you so much, Megan!!”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my deep understanding of animal behavior and my ability to tailor care to the specific needs of each pet. I have experience caring for cats of all ages, from playful kittens to senior cats requiring extra attention and patience. Additionally, I am skilled in administering medications, monitoring for signs of health issues, and creating enriching environments to keep pets mentally and physically stimulated. My organizational skills ensure that feeding schedules, grooming, and litter maintenance are handled with precision. Above all, I approach pet care with empathy and dedication, treating every animal as if they were my own. This commitment to providing individualized and loving care is what makes me stand out. Pet care is an integral part of my daily and weekly routine. I prioritize meeting the needs of the animals in my care by maintaining a consistent schedule. Each day, I ensure pets are fed on time, their living spaces are clean, and they have fresh water. I also set aside time for interactive play and affection, as I understand the importance of mental and physical stimulation for their well-being. Weekly, I focus on deeper cleaning tasks, such as thoroughly sanitizing litter boxes, grooming, and checking for any signs of health issues. I believe in creating a safe, comfortable, and enriching environment for pets, and I’m very organized when it comes to keeping track of their needs, such as feeding schedules or medication routines if required. This structured approach ensures that pet care is not just a task but a natural and fulfilling part of my life. Pets require consistent care to ensure their health and happiness. This includes providing fresh food and water daily, a comfortable and cozy place to sleep, and engaging toys to stimulate their minds. A window view can also enhance their environment, offering enrichment and enjoyment. Additionally, it’s essential to take precautions against parasites by using preventative treatments as recommended by a veterinarian. Regular veterinary visits are crucial for monitoring their health, addressing any issues promptly, and keeping vaccinations up to date. For safety, pets should always wear an ID tag or be microchipped to ensure they can be identified and returned if lost.

“Katherine is such a loving, caring, energetic, responsible and most importantly attentive/very good observer when it comes to the fur babies. On top of that, she is a very communicative person will let you know if anything needs to be known to you which makes every pet parent feel more comfortable and safe. She is the best, your fur babies are definitely safe and sound with her!”
