About: I’ve loved animals since childhood and have over 10 years of experience in pet care. I approach pets with both confidence and affection. I enjoy getting to know the unique personalities and helping them feel safe and loved. In addition to caring for other people’s pets I’ve had many of my own Including three cats and seven dogs ranging in age from six weeks to 14 years old. I’ve trained and walked dogs of all sizes from Chihuahuas to bull breeds in the neighborhoods and along nature trails. I’ve also taken dog training classes and have volunteered at the Oakland SPCA. I’ve trained puppies, and I’ve cared for older pets. I’m here to meet your pet’s care needs with compassion, reliability, and the experience they deserve. I’m looking for work. I can do in the afternoon and or evenings Monday through Friday and occasionally weekends. I am also available for late night check-in if you need it. I offer dog walking and dog/cat sitting. I will closely follow the routines and instructions shared to ensure your pets care is up to you and your pets standards


“Nhu is super friendly, responsive, respectful and reliable. Our dog Chloe loves seeing Nhu, and we can always rest easy when we’re away, knowing that Nhu is taking great care of her. Nhu follows instructions carefully and even goes above and beyond in ensuring she’s providing the best care. It’s no wonder she has so many 5 star reviews and repeat clients!”


About: I've grown up owning dogs my whole life, and I own my own dog as well. I honestly think it's impossible to be sad when a dog is in your life, and it is our responsibility to take care of them as best as we can. I would love to spend time and take care of your dog in the event you cannot. They should't have to feel so alone when we are busy! My puppy is very social, kind, and loves to play with other dogs. She is spayed so there is no worry there. I promise to take the best care of your dog, as if it was my own. I am also a strong believer in training dogs and keeping them on their own routine. I am very respectful of the rules or standards that each owner has for their dog, and plan on carrying those out exactly as you ask. I have a very flexible schedule currently and can accommodate many different times. Feel free to reach out and we can find a common time that works for you, your pet and me! Safety and trust are the most important aspect of caring for other animals. They are not just our pets but members of our family and I always keep that in mind. I will send photos and always be transparent about how your dog is doing.

About: I’ve taken care of a variety of dogs/puppies of multiple breeds, the main breeds I take care of myself is a small yorkie and a German shepherd. Being an upcoming collage student. My availability is very flexible I am able to fit pet care into my daily and weekly routine with the exception of Wednesday I make sure before anything dogs are familiar with me and have a mutual trust before I attempt to do anything with the pet in care

“Jana was great with our two doggos! Our little chihuahua (who can be a bit picky about who she likes) immediately took to Jana and wanted lots of pets. Great experience 🐾”


About: From 8 years old onward, I grew up with my brother in fur, Zoopy. The Zoop (as my family called him) was my best friend as I transitioned from childhood to adulthood. I walked him every day, picked up his poop, fed him, and most importantly, loved him with everything I had to give. Since he passed away when I was 20 years old, I have enjoyed casual walks for dogs of friends and family. Even though I didn’t grow up with cats, my girlfriend has a couple of Siamese cats and I adore them. I work fully remote and my schedule is flexible, so I can walk your dogs anytime! My weekends generally get a bit busier, but with enough notice, I can happily accommodate weekend walks. I’m happy to take care of your dog and play with them in your own home! I can accommodate whatever form of exercise you prefer for them, including multiple walks per day!

About: Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember, from childhood companions to the many pups I’ve had as an adult, including Shiba Inus, Labs, and a Goldendoodle. I also have experience pet sitting from my college days and love animals of all kinds. Whether your dog prefers hiking trails or lounging at home, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at. I’m reliable, grounded, and kind-hearted, with a strong attention to detail, I’m comfortable following specific feeding routines, administering medications, and respecting whatever schedule your pet is used to. I’m genuinely excited to care for your furry family member and make sure they feel safe, loved, and well looked after while you're away. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time to play with your pups or hang out with your kitties and give them the attention they deserve. Let me know about any special needs or preferences your pet has, including toys, walking or play styles. I'm happy to accommodate them on my visits. I provide a calm, caring environment and pay close attention to every detail, from feeding routines and medication schedules to subtle changes in behavior, so your pet feels secure and understood. I'm reliable, grounded, and deeply respectful of the trust you place in me, and I treat every animal in my care as if they were my own.

About: I am very attentive to the needs of your pets, especially if they are older and slower, but I also enjoy energetic puppies and pets that need some training and just need some positive re-enforcement. I am available to House sit - although I don't know how to reflect that on the website. I actively practice positive reinforcement obedience training. My schedule is open now in general but I may do a retreat every so often. I nearby in the Bay Area, my schedule is more flexible. I prefer to care for pets in their own homes, since I live in a small place. I am attentive to the needs of the pet and if I see that the pet needs exercise, I make sure they get sufficient exercise through their regular routines.

“Alice and her kids were brilliant! She goes above and beyond being intuitive to our dogs’ needs, getting them good excercise and a good dose of loving care. I am comforted knowing my pups will get the loving attention they need (and excercise) with Alice.”


“Petey loves Benjamin and is always so excited for his arrival to take him on walks. He was extra excited yesterday and it was cute to see how much he likes Benjamin and the walks he’s getting. Benjamin is professional and taking good care of Petey.”


About: Experienced pet parent to both dogs and cats with years of caring for friends' and neighbors' beloved companions. I provide attentive in-home sitting, overnight care, and enjoyable walks. I've successfully leash-trained older dogs and I love giving pets the exercise and affection they need. Your loved ones will receive the same care I give my own pets - consistent attention, plenty of play time, and a comfortable environment that feels like home. I work (mostly) at home. My own dog gets 4-5 walks per day during the week. Weekends are variable, but I try to have her outside for a good bit of the day. I live in an apartment. Outside time will have to be under my control when we go out for walks and pee breaks. Others' dogs can be crated if that's what makes them comfortable, but I typically let them hang out with my dog around the apartment. My dog is a voracious eater, so if other dogs are slow eaters, I'll have to separate their food (and maybe them for a bit) from my own.

About: I have quickly befriended many four-legged creatures over the years. I especially love dogs, like many people do, and I am very detail-oriented, always doing my best to ensure they are safe and don't ingest something they shouldn't, on walks and at home. I have always researched what's best for my pet before making decisions which has provided me with vast insight and knowledge on the needs of pets. I enjoy exercising and playing with pets so yours will get plenty of exercise and love! I am able to dedicate time to care for pets with walks and drop-ins. I am available all day Mondays and Tuesdays, Thursday mornings until 1pm, and Saturdays and Sundays after 4pm. My dog gets 3-4 walks per day, her food is planned out, she gets brushed 1-2 times per week, and is bathed regularly. She is on a consistent schedule, except for pets, cuddles, and playing which can happen at any moment.

About: Many animals like to get close to me when they see me. Even if they are fierce, when they see me, they will naturally get close to me when they see me smiling. My time is very flexible and can be arranged according to your needs. So if any client needs help suddenly, they can contact me. Thank You. I need to understand the personality of the pet I take care of. Secondly, when I go to the client's home, of course I will check whether the pet has eaten and drunk water, whether I want to take it for a walk, etc. After that, I may play some games that it likes with it.

About: I’m Sascha! I’m a competent, reliable pet sitter with experience caring for a large cast of furry friends including characters like Michael, a 15 year old geriatric mixed terrier who loved to cuddle on the couch and Mochi, a high energy biewer terrier who loved multiple walks and park play throughout the day. Cats love me too! I have cared for cats who are social and love to play as well as cats who need some time to warm up and like their space. I will treat your dog with the care and dignity they deserve. I pride myself on clear and consistent communication with my clients. Please reach out to me with your requests and I will get back to you to set up a plan. I am in the middle of transitioning careers after finishing graduate school, so I have a flexible schedule and usually work from home. This allows me to be home with your pet throughout the day or stop by to make sure they get some play throughout the day and let out for potty breaks. I look forward to learning and following your pets care routine and caring for your home. I’m respectful, tidy, and a responsive communicator. I always check to make sure everything is locked up when I leave and the water bowl full.

Mia A.
“Mia has a gift for working with animals. She started having pets at a young age with fish, mice, hamsters and birds, taking joy in interacting with them, feeding them, always being the first one to notice any health concerns. As she grew older she went to zoo camp, to SCPA camp, and she graduated to counselor sharing her love of animals with other children. Over the last few years she has regularly walked her many dogs, cleaned up after them, made sure they received needed vet care and nursed them back to health after surgery or illness. When younger, she would walk her two Chihuahua mixes, and helped care for them as they aged, became less mobile, and needed extra attention and medications. As a young adult, she raised one puppy Pit Bull from 6 weeks (now 5 years old), and adopted a mistreated Pit/Lab mix, who is now her best friend and companion. She is excellent at ensuring their routines are followed and spending quality time with them. She uses treats wisely, and has trained her dogs to follow her lead, sit and wait when commanded. She ensures regular vet care and gives medications, applies lotions and other vet-prescribed care with kindness. As she has started dog walking and care professionally, she has been a reliable, trusted caregiver. She has demonstrated her capacity with all types of dogs and her understanding that dogs not only need food, water and walking or play, but also interaction, reassurance, and love. I admire her ease with and love for animals, and am glad she can share her gift with other pet owners.”

Whenever I am out of town I know I can count on his services to take care and look over my Rocco. He is very responsible and attentive with my Rocco and Rocco loves him and is always excited to see Juan. Whether it is for walks or pet-sitting Juan is very reliable which I appreciate so much given my busy schedule. I know I can completely trust him with my fur baby which gives me peace of mind.
