Pet Sitting & Drop Ins in Toler Heights, Oakland

“Our dogs can be nervous around new people and seeing how happy and relaxed they were when Maia came by for drop-in visits was such a joy! Getting photo updates and communication from Maia put our minds at ease, we are grateful to know they are in good hands with her and will be booking again.”

About: With 16 years of hands-on experience, I bring a calm, confident energy that pets (and their humans!) trust. I’m currently caring for my own sweet 15-year-old senior pup, so I’m especially tuned in to the needs of older pets—whether it’s medication, slow strolls, or just a little extra TLC. I’ve seen it all, from wiggly puppies to wise old souls, and I treat every pet like they’re family. My goal? To make tails wag and hearts feel at ease. Pet care fits naturally into my routine—I work from home and have a flexible schedule, so I’m available during the day for walks, check-ins, or cuddle breaks. Whether it’s a midday stroll or a bit of playtime to break up the day, I love incorporating pet care into my everyday rhythm. It keeps me moving, smiling, and surrounded by furry joy—what could be better? In my home, pets are treated like part of the family! I have a sweet senior dog who’s very friendly and laid-back, so visiting pets get a calm, welcoming vibe. I’ve got a fenced-in backyard for safe outdoor time, and I’m happy to follow whatever routine makes your pet feel most comfortable—whether that means crate time, couch time, or anything in between. In clients' homes, I aim to keep their pet’s routine consistent and stress-free, with lots of love, attention, and belly rubs!

“Angelique is the BEST!!! I have an elderly 14 year old Pitmix with high dietary supplement and high care needs. My character-judgung do g took to ger instantly with her loving animal vibe. She was loving, patient and took pics with sweet notes to settle any of my anxiousness about leaving her. She also took amazing care of my shy cat and my mouse. And she did small chores for a minimal fee. Angelique is dependable and when I got home I was so impressed on how she maintained my home and furbabies. We would hire her again as we would look no further!!! Thanks , Angelique 😍🤩”

“Marlene just did the first drop in visit for our two dogs. She was very communicative, punctual, and made sure to secure the house when she left. Plus it was a very rainy day, and she got the dogs all cleaned up when they came in from the yard. Glad we found a reliable person.”

About: Hi, Meghan here, I have always been a dog-lover, and currently have a lovable fluffy husky. I live in Oakland with my mom, a fellow dog-lover! I allow our furry friends on the couch, but can also work on furniture-boundaries if your pooch isn't allowed on furniture at your own home. I work from home, so I'll be home most of the day during the weekdays. The longest your pup will be home alone (with my pups) is around 5 hours. I am comfortable with big dogs. I can give medications, and can brush your pooch as well! Here's a little about us: Meghan has been a dog-lover since birth. She grew up with dogs of all shapes and sizes. Treesa loves pups of all sizes! Meet my pets: Just the dogs! About my yard We have a fenced backyard. My experience administering medication We are comfortable administering oral medication. **We do have a Potty Clause. We understand accidents happen, and are very forgiving, as pups are often excited and can't help themselves at first. However, we have occasionally had extreme repeat offenders. We take dogs on the basis that they are potty trained. If we feel there are an excessive number of indoor incidents, we will let you know, and ask for a $10 additional fee (per week, or fraction thereof), to cover the cost of laundry and cleaning supplies.** Thanks! I work from home so your pup will hang out with me and Winston at home, join us on walks, and get to spend the day with us! I have a fenced yard. Security gate at my back door means fresh air without escape opportunity. We're working on installing a dog door, so that should happen later this year!

“Karla was fantastic. Her visits were timely, she sent great pics and summaries, and she was an observant, thoughtful sitter. One of our kitties is very shy, and she did well with Karla’s approach. Will definitely book with her again!”

About: Hello, I am a Bay Area native and I work part-time as an essential worker in food and agriculture. I AM FULLY VACCINATED. I am and have always been a huge dog lover and I find that my great energy allows me to bond very well with dogs. I am also a dog owner and have years of experience with dogs and sitting dogs for friends and family. I can be flexible with schedules and can accommodate most situations. I want to start dog sitting to earn some extra income to put off some of my college debt and of course taking care of your dogs is an added bonus. I am very hard working and detail oriented but also love to go with the flow and remain optimistic. You can be confident that you’re family member (dog) will be in completely safe and responsible hands.

About: As a kid, I grew up around dogs and cats. I always loved meeting new fur friends at the park or from my friend’s animals. As I got older I started meeting new fur friends and my love grew more and more for them. Now I help care for many animals from pups to seniors. I would love to help you and your fur babies! I’m currently working part-time so I will have more than enough time to play with your pups. I am available to walk/play with your pups anytime. I am available to house sit anytime as well! When coming to my clients home, I will play with them and take them on walks. I will make your pup feel comfortable with me in your home and will allow them to get to know me. I will give them a lot of love like they are my own.

“Great updates! 🐶 and photos! Thank you, 🐶 and I both got a break!”
