About: I've always been a dog lover! I've volunteered at animal shelters, raised and trained four puppies of my own, and currently have two lovable pit bull mixes who are very much part of the family. I have hands-on experience with different personalities, energy levels, and the patience that comes with raising puppies. I love dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages. And as far as I'm concerned, they're all babies, whether they're 8 weeks or 15 years old! I know how much our dogs mean to us, and I'll treat yours with the same love, attention, and care I give my own. Caring for dogs is part of my daily routine. With two dogs of my own, I'm accustomed to managing feeding schedules, walks, exercise, and individual care needs. I work a flexible, part-time schedule that allows me to accommodate pet care throughout the week and provide consistent attention and supervision. I provide dog walking and pet care in clients' homes, but do not offer boarding. My goal is to maintain each pet's normal routine and provide consistent, attentive care in a familiar environment. I follow each owner's instructions regarding feeding, exercise, medications, and any specific needs or preferences. For walks, I ask that dogs be leash-trained and comfortable walking on a leash to ensure a safe, enjoyable experience. I respect each client's home and provide updates so owners know their pets are in good hands.

About: I'm super reliable, very patient and attentive when left in care of your fur babies I like to chill and lounge on the couch with them or go on long walks or spend time at the park P.s will follow special instructions if there is any needed to follow :)) For days that I have available for pet sittings I like to know if they will have a schedule to follow or not so I usually go by that but I have most days off with just gardening to do or stuff to do around the house/lounging or hiking/ running errands. I make sure to keep any toys, food or medication nearby. I’m comfortable caring for pets that may need more attention than others or that may be more independent.

About: I’ve worked cared for high-energy breeds, shy rescues, senior dogs with mobility issues, and everything in between. Whether it’s a long walk, a cuddle session, or administering meds, I’m here to keep your pet happy, healthy, and safe. I’m currently working part-time from home, so I’ll have plenty of time for walks and visits. My pup is a rescue and is reactive to other dogs, so I can’t offer boarding at this time. I care for pets in their own home where they feel most safe and comfortable. I respect your space, follow all routines closely, and keep things calm, clean, and stress-free. I’ll provide plenty of affection, playtime, and updates, so you always know your pet is in good hands. I don’t offer care in my own home due to my own rescue dog’s reactivity.

About: Growing up with dogs (Pit Bulls, Miniature Dachsund, a Boxer, & more), I remain a dog loving person as an adult! I’ve been a Rover sitter since 2021 and have served as a foster home for senior dogs through Muttville (looking after a Mini Doberman Pinscher and a Shiba Inu - Basenji mix). You can also find me on Wag. I am generally fully available for all services on weekends. On weekdays, I do not provide boarding and only accept day care requests starting after 3 PM. In my home, dogs are allowed on our furniture with exception to our bed. I have big floofy cushions that I leave throughout the house so dogs have lots of napping options. I let dogs sleep wherever they like (with exception to our bed) – for some dogs this has meant on top of a pile of blankets on a seat in our living room, for others this means on a floor cushion or bed directly next to our human bed. I am very accustomed to picky eaters (and even picky drinkers!), and am used to boiling chicken or salmon with some rice for the especially picky ones. I am experienced in administering oral medications to dogs, including through syringes. I will follow whatever rules you set for your home!

About: I am a volunteer at the local Milo Foundation where I foster and walk/socialize dogs that can have many special needs! I respect each animal's space and needs. It is true what they say, they all have their own little personalities. I have always been very fond of animals and have taken care of various kinds of dogs, horses, cows and goats growing up! In college, I took care of many of my friends' pets on multiple occasions and I have fostered cats and dogs in the past as well. I will provide tailored care for your pets; depending on their personalities. I am extremely active, so if your pet needs a long hike, I will be there! If your pet needs a more relaxed walk, that is fine too! If your pet needs a cuddle, I will be the first cuddle bug. If your pet needs space, I will do that too! I work 9-5PM, so I will be able to walk your dogs and socialize them in the AM before 9 and after 5PM. I will gladly be willing to spend more time on the weekends as needed. I am also happy to travel longer distances to share time with your fur babies! I am a patient, devoted and energetic animal lover. I value each animals' space, and read their behaviors and body language before deciding the appropriate strategy to socialize with them.

About: I grew up taking care of a German Shepherd until I was 15. Since then, I’ve taken every opportunity I’ve had to care for someone else’s dog(s)! I am comfortable will all ages of dogs and cats. I’ve rescued three cats, volunteered at shelters and cared for about 20 dogs for various clients, ranging from puppies to senior dogs! I am active and comfortable with getting your pet’s energy out. I am comfortable with training, commands, medicine, house upkeeping as well. I have a car that can be used for any necessary transport. I am currently available Monday-Sunday through the holiday season! Available for day-to-day, overnight, and for walks. Not available for boarding as my cat is terrified of other animals. I love being out in the sun, or the cold, and I’m more than happy to play with your dog all day everyday! I am attentive to the pet’s needs and wants, boundaries and sensitivities.

About: I've spent much of my life caring for animals. I started working in dog and cat boarding at a veterinary practice in high school and have since pet and house sat for friends, family, and clients, volunteered with shelter animals through the SPCA, and cared for a wide variety of animals. Professionally, I've spent over a decade in real estate, including owning and operating my own brokerage in Maryland. I'm also an experienced homeowner, having personally undertaken a complete home renovation. When I decided to relocate from the East Coast to the West Coast, pet and house sitting offered a wonderful opportunity to explore new communities while making the transition. Over the past year, I've had the pleasure of caring for some incredible animals throughout California and during my travels. What began as a way to explore has become an especially rewarding extension of my lifelong love of animals. My goal is simple: to give you peace of mind while you're away. I'll care for your pets like family, communicate thoughtfully, and leave your home just as clean and cared for as you left it. Currently working from home, plenty of time and attention to lavish on your pets. I like to follow your set routines with them as much as possible. I do not currently care for pets in my home. I find that animals usually do best when they can be in their own environments.

About: I’ve had pets of my own for more than 30 years and have extensive hands-on experience caring for animals. I’ve fostered pets for two local rescue organizations and have also volunteered extensively with a well-known local rescue, including at mobile adoption events, screening potential adopters, and conducting home visits. In addition, I’ve provided pet sitting and care for neighbors, friends, and co-workers over the years. I’m very comfortable caring for animals and getting to know their individual personalities, quirks, and routines. With two cats and two dogs of my own, pet care is already a big part of my daily routine! My schedule is flexible, so I’m able to accommodate additional pets throughout the week, including daytime visits as well as mornings and evenings. I’m also happy to work with your pet’s existing schedule and routines as much as possible. I have a fully fenced yard and plenty of flexibility in my home to accommodate visiting pets safely and comfortably. My dogs are socialized and crate-trained, and I also have a separate pet room where my cats can stay if needed, so I’m able to keep animals separated when appropriate. I know that every pet has its own routine and comfort level, so I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and anything else that helps your pet feel at home. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m equally happy to follow their usual routine and keep things as familiar and consistent as possible while you’re away.

About: I've worked my entire 30+ year career taking care of people and their animals.

Cats, dogs, hamsters, birds, and even a pair of ferrets! I'm pretty good at connecting and animals tend to read that. I'm all about healthy treats, balanced food options, great nutrition, and appropriate exercise; and as a former chef and caregiver, I love cooking for pets too! While I don't currently have any pets of my own, I'm also happy to just chill out with your pet for anxiety reducing calm and comfort. Need someone to be attentive and sensitive to your pet's needs? I'm your Girl! I'm currently working remotely, part-time Tuesday through Thursday. My work is pretty flexible and I can take it with me wherever I go, though I do require notice so I can prepare and make adjustments if needed.

I'm happy to care for your pup or meowser at your East Bay home. I can stay or stop by to play, spend quality time, or just water, feed, and walk your furry friend if that's what you need. While I haven't any formal medical training for pets, I'm detail oriented and good with instructions. I'm here to help out, so if you have any questions about special needs, just ask.

About: Funny enough, I didn’t grow up as a dog person! I was born and raised in San Francisco and spent most of my life living in an apartment where pets weren’t allowed. I actually grew up being afraid of dogs—I still remember running away from a tiny poodle as a kid! That all started to change when my friends began getting fur babies of their own. The more time I spent around their dogs, the more I realized how sweet, loving, and full of personality they were. Slowly, that fear disappeared and turned into a genuine love for dogs. Before I knew it, I was getting attached to every pup I met! When my brother and sister-in-law got their Corgi in 2022, I absolutely fell in love with him. I honestly lost count of how many times I visited them just to see their pup! I was always happy to offer to babysit whenever they were away, which gave me more hands-on experience caring for a dog on my own. Over the past 5 years, I’ve helped care for and dogsit for family and friends, and eventually, I knew I wanted a fur baby of my own. I’m now a proud dog mom to a Samoyed who I’ve raised since he was just 9 weeks old. He’s a little over 1.5 years old now, and raising him from such a young age has taught me so much about puppy care, routines, feeding, walks, playtime, training, patience, and handling all that puppy energy! My boyfriend also has a Boston Terrier, so our household is currently home to two very different pups—my big, fluffy Samoyed and his much smaller Boston Terrier. Living with and caring for both of them every day has given me experience managing multiple dogs with different personalities, sizes, energy levels, and needs. It has also taught me that every dog is different, and getting to know their individual quirks and personalities is one of my favorite parts of being around them. Because I know firsthand what it’s like to go from being unfamiliar with dogs to completely falling in love with them, I have a lot of patience and respect for each dog’s individual personality and comfort level. I also know how much trust it takes to leave your fur baby in someone else’s care. My goal is simple: to give your pup the same love, attention, patience, and care that I would want someone to give my own. ❤️ I work a Monday–Friday desk job and usually work remotely from home, so I’m able to be around throughout the day to give your fur baby plenty of attention, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship. My weekends are also free, which gives me even more flexibility for daycare and boarding. I occasionally need to go into the office for meetings or special projects. On those days, I typically leave early around 5:30 AM and am back home by about 2:30 PM (or earlier). My flexible schedule allows me to make pet care a natural part of my daily routine and give your fur baby plenty of love, attention, and company while they’re staying with me. Since I have two pups of our own, walks, potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and lots of doggy attention are already a regular part of my daily routine! 🐾 I live in a quiet townhome community in Hercules, just a few minutes’ walk from beautiful Refugio Valley Park—perfect for walks, fresh air, and some extra sniffing time! My home is a two-story townhome with a fenced backyard, giving the pups a secure outdoor space for potty breaks and supervised playtime. I have two house-trained fur babies, a Samoyed and a Boston Terrier, so my home is already very dog-friendly. I also understand that every pup has their own personality and comfort level. There are baby gates throughout the house to section off different areas when needed, whether that means giving energetic pups their own space to play or providing a quieter area for those who would rather relax and lounge on the couch. Speaking of couches—pups are welcome! There are two couches with plenty of room for anyone who wants to curl up, get comfy, and make themselves at home. There are also crates in a variety of sizes, toys, and other pet supplies available when needed. For additional safety and peace of mind, my home is equipped with cameras to keep an extra eye on the pups and my home environment when needed. Safety and comfort are very important, and I’m happy to follow your pup’s normal routine, feeding schedule, crate preferences, and any specific care instructions you provide. My home is also within walking distance of Hercules Pet Hospital, which gives me additional peace of mind should veterinary care ever be needed. Ultimately, I want your pup to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re here—and for you to feel confident knowing they’re being cared for like one of my own. ❤️
