“Melissa was very easy to communicate and clearly cared about our cats, playing and sending a lot of great photos. We recommend Melissa for taking care of your pets while you are away”

Lucas V.

“Melina is great with all of our pets! She kept us updated and sent photos of all four pets for each drop in. My dog loves her and even the shyest cat comes out to see her during her visits.”

Natalie B.

“Anais really came through in a pinch for us over the holidays after another sitter had to cancel. She was extremely communicative and organized, both through scheduling the visits and showing up on time. She provided ample updates regarding the visits including pictures and other context around each stop. Would definitely recommend to others and will be on our list for future assistance!”

Phil D.

“Responsive, helpful, and our puppy loved her!”

Kathy L.

About: I’m a caring, patient, and responsible pet sitter. I have a 2 and a half year old dog, so I understand the importance of keeping pets safe, happy, active, and comfortable. I’m attentive to each pet’s routine and personality, and I’ll treat your pet with the same love and care I give my own. I enjoy walks, playtime, and giving pets plenty of attention and affection. I have a flexible routine that allows me to make time for pet care during the week. I can plan my schedule according to each pet’s individual needs and routine I provide a safe and comfortable environment for pets in my home. I follow each pet’s routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions from their owner. I also enjoy taking dogs on walks and making sure they have a fun and comfortable stay

“Adam was a great pet sitter for our cat, Smokey. We will definitely try to use him for future trips. He clearly loves pets and he is an excellent communicator and we love the pictures that he sent”

About: Peace of mind, clear communication, and absolute reliability for your pets. As a lifelong animal lover with over 40 years of pet care experience, I offer mature, accountable, and dependable care focused on neighborhood dog walks and drop-in visits throughout Oakland. My background in structured animal handling began decades ago in Norway, where I trained my first working dog alongside handlers from the Air Force Dog School long before positive reinforcement became the industry standard. Whether your dog needs a calming mid-day outdoor break or your pets need attentive drop-in feeding, my priority is keeping them happy, safe, and comfortable in their familiar environment. What sets my care apart: • Mature & Accountable: Punctual, highly responsible, and strictly respectful of your home, privacy, and care routines. Perfect for professionals wanting flawless communication. • Calming, Specialized Approach: Patient, positive reinforcement handling specifically tailored to adult dogs, shy pets, or gentle seniors who thrive on a steady, reassuring routine. • Advanced Pet Care: Fully experienced in administering oral medications and managing complex senior care schedules. • Local Oakland Focus: Dedicated entirely to Ivy Hill, Lake Merritt, Grand Lake, and immediate surrounding neighborhoods. (Please note: For walks and drop-in visits, I focus primarily on adult and senior pets to ensure the highest quality of focused, low-stress care. I look forward to meeting you and your pet for a free initial Meet & Greet!) As an independent professional, my schedule offers generous flexibility for pet care throughout the day and evening. I am readily available for morning, mid-day, afternoon, and evening neighborhood walks, as well as flexible drop-in visits for feeding, walks, and evening companionship. My open schedule allows me to dedicate my full, focused attention to your pet’s routine without feeling rushed. Safety and trust are my absolute highest priorities when caring for your pets and respecting your home. During neighborhood walks, I use secure leashes, maintain active situational awareness, and keep a calm, positive demeanor tailored to your dog’s comfort. For in-home drop-in visits, I follow your exact feeding, care, and home security instructions to ensure your pets feel completely safe and secure in their familiar environment.

“Christine has been a wonderful sitter; she’s very tuned into my two cats’ emotional states, and very communicative with me about how they’re faring. One of my boys can be pretty shy around new people, especially if his mommy isn’t around, but he was immediately receptive to her! I’m grateful to feel so at ease when traveling, thanks to her help :)”

Lola D.

“Erin was amazing with our generally shy cat. He took to her immediately upon meeting her during our intro session! She provided daily updates while we were away, and he looked very happy in the pictures, and was happy and healthy upon our return. I will definitely try to book her again next time we need a sitter!”

Lauren M.

“Zsa-Zsa is overall professional, reliable, and makes things easy. My dog is strong and has a lot of energy and I feel secure knowing that she can handle his energy and respond to his needs. He loves her!”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was about 14 years old. Most of my experience is with puppies and younger, high energy dogs, but I am happy to care for dogs of all ages - I just love to be around them. I have taken several training courses with my previous pets and am big on keeping a routine. I currently work (mostly) remote from 9-5pm on weekdays but they are very flexible for me. I’m happy to do overnight stays and I love to get extra exercise/play in. My apartment currently does not allow pets. I will always consider your requests as minimums unless otherwise stated in terms of what your pup needs (i.e. longer walks, more playtime, cuddles)!

About: I have a spacious home with a fully enclosed backyard where your pets can safely explore and play. The environment is cozy, comfortable, and secure. We currently have no pets. I've had pets my entire life and will care for yours with the same love and kindness I would give my own. Please contact for availability. We have a standard household routine. I'm looking forward to hosting your furry baby and taking care of them. My home will be theirs. Thank you! I will care for your pets as if they were mine. I've boarded my pets for years so I understand how it feels to place the trust in someone elses hands. You won't be disappointed.

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and genuinely love caring for them. I have a 8 year old Miniature Pinscher, Norman, who has taught me a lot about patience, routines, and making dogs feel safe and comfortable in their own way. (I don’t have him with me full time) I’m comfortable with dogs of different personalities and energy levels, and I’m happy to follow your pup’s usual routine, whether that means long walks, playtime, plenty of cuddles, or simply keeping them company. I’ll treat your dog like my own and keep you updated while you’re away. I am home in the morning and evenings on the weekdays. I am free to take your pets out on walks every couple hours or as needed. I prioritize safety and trust by maintaining a clean, secure environment for pets. I ensure their routines are followed, provide plenty of playtime and affection, and always keep a close eye on them to prevent any accidents. Your pets will feel comfortable and cared for in my home or yours. I have a fenced in yard as well

“Danielle is amazing! Lenny looked so happy in the photos and was in good spirits when I got home. Great communication. She took him over to Lake Merritt during two 1-hr visits. I will definitely book with her again!”

Katey W.

“Naomi is amazing! We're very grateful for her, we know our dog (high energy) Karl is so well-taken care of!”

About: I've been blessed to be around dogs my entire life, but my life didn't start until my pup Sancho came into this world and picked me to be his best friend. I'm very apt to the needs of any pup in my care and look forward to meeting your pup. I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to spend quality time with your pup and a large fenced in yard so they can enjoy some sun. My home offers a large fenced in backyard with plenty of space for your fur baby to frolic. When sitting in your home, I'm very adaptable to your pups day to day, I find this helps ease their mind while their parent/s are away.

“Alejandra has been kind, communicative and great to work with so far. She’s been great about sending photos with status updates which are appreciated. She’s been very patient to our anxious, sweet pup Woody. We’d recommend her to anyone looking for help with drop-ins or walks.”
