“Meghan and Jenny were the absolute best! They watched our Dog Squid for nearly 3 weeks while we were in Europe and we got the cutest updates every single day.

I ( and Henry!) would book with them again in a heartbeat!”

“It was our first time rover-ing with our new dog so we were a little nervous but they took great care of Francine! It’s clear that they are dog lovers and made Francine feel right at home.

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

About: With 10+ years of animal care experience — including 4 years as a veterinary assistant — I’m especially experienced with seniors, anxious or shy pets, and those needing medications or extra TLC. I’m reliable, calm under pressure, and treat every pet like my own. Providing care for pets fits naturally into my lifestyle — my schedule is intentionally flexible so I can be available when your pets need me most. Whether you need help during long workdays, weekend trips, or last-minute schedule changes, I’m happy to accommodate a wide range of needs. Let me know what your pet’s routine looks like — I’ll do my best to match it, so they feel safe, loved, and right at home while you’re away. Within the client's home, I do everything I can to make their pets feel safe, seen, and loved. I know how important it is to maintain their routine and environment, especially for pets who thrive on familiarity. I take time to build trust, go at their pace, and make sure they feel comfortable with me in their space. Whether it’s a quick drop-in, extended visit, or overnight stay, I’m respectful of both your home and your pet’s boundaries. I always follow instructions carefully, provide updates along the way, and make sure your pet is happy, secure, and well cared for while you’re away. For the health and safety of your pet, I kindly ask that clients provide their own grooming tools — including brushes, combs, nail clippers, styptic powder, and any other essentials your pet is familiar with. Using your pet’s personal tools helps prevent the spread of bacteria, and ensures a safe, and hygienic experience. Your pet’s safety and your peace of mind are always my top priorities.
“They did an okay job of taking care of our cat and communicating with us. Some pictures of our cat were resent to us, but our cat was totally fine when we got home; so all was fine. All in all, they provided the services that we asked for, but we wished we could have gotten fresh pictures of our cat each day rather than most days.”

“Sydney treated my dog as her own. Her space for them is lovely and she is kind and very accommodating to pets needs. I would bring my senior dog here again for sure ! Highly recommend”
“Chad took excellent care of my young and energetic greyhound with a lot of separation anxiety. When I picked her up she was happy and excited, but she didn’t show any signs of distress. Prior to my dog’s stay at his home Chad had invited us over for a meet&greet and he took a lot of time to inquire about my dog’s character and behaviors, which made me very confident that things would be alright. Chad was also willing to accommodated my travel schedule. I am happy with the experience and hope he will be available next time I have to go out of town.”
“Baxter has stayed Andrea and her pups twice for daycare, with hopefully more days to come! Andrea has a gentle, kind spirit and seems very attuned to a dog's needs. At our meet & greet, she asked great questions about Baxter and his routines. She provided fun updates with pics a few times a day -- much appreciated!”
“We love how thoughtful Kelly is in her approach to taking care of pets and handling so many details to ensure that our Snowy had a wonderful time. Her set-up is top notch and we felt our Snowy was in great hands. Thank you, Kelly.”
About: I grew up with 6 pit bulls, taking sun baths with them in my backyard. I’ve volunteered in SF SPCA and donate monthly. My best friend aka Herita is a rescue, she’s been with me for over 3 years now. I believe animals have taught me how to love unconditionally and responsibly. Calm, trust and safety are my top priorities. I hope you give me the chance to connect with you and your fur baby/ babies. I work from home. I normally take Hera on a walk every morning for about 30 mins. Come back and hit the gym. After that I’m free. I can always head over in the am, afternoon or evenings. I have a fenced yard, Herita is spayed and loves to play with other dogs. Her bff is a 3 y/o Doberman. Which I take care of a couple of times a week (take her out on walks and feed her)
“I had a great experience with Korin! I left Maru with her for a few hours while we went out for a late dinner. Our dinner ran a little longer than expected, but she was so understanding and patient. We really appreciated their flexibility and kindness. Would definitely book with them again! ❤️”
“Meera took great care of my mini poodle puppy. She took him for a walk and paid special attention to his needs as a puppy who is too rambunctious at times. Meera was great to interact with because she is kind and thoughtful. I recommend her highly!”
“Baxter had a great day with Kim and her human and dog crew. :) She sent pics with fun commentary several times (much appreciated -- especially on the first day!. Baxter was wiped out in the evening after a day of play. Kim is clearly a pro at dog care. She was very engaged in our meet and greet and asked lots of good questions. She's very pleasant to chat with and communicates proactively. Looking forward to Baxter's next stay!”
“Krishna and her partner provided excellent care, attention and affection for my husky during my stay in S.F. They brought their sweet dog Milo out for meet and greet, all went well and my dog had a great stay. Highly recommended!”
“Tamara took such good care of our pup who has a lot of separation anxiety. He had so much fun playing with her dogs and came back so tired and happy. I’m sure our dog can’t wait to go back!”
“Kai and I enjoyed Chawntea so much that we rebooked. As a first time furbaby mom it’s hard to just leave my baby with anyone. I am so glad to have found her.”
“I cannot recommend Andre highly enough! From the meet and greet, it was clear he was a true dog lover and incredibly professional. He took wonderful care of our dog Charlie, and provided updates with photos. It was such a relief he was in such good hands. We will absolutely be booking again and highly recommend him!”
About: Hello dog lovers! I grew up with a yellow lab and have been an animal lover my entire life. I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I truly believe pets bring a special kind of love into a home and make it feel complete. I’d be honored to care for your dog while you’re away, so you can relax and enjoy your time knowing your beloved pet is safe, happy, and in loving hands. My schedule is currently open! I am flexible and willing to work with you to suit your pets needs. I am located in Fruitvale in Oakland. I have 2 adult cats in my home currently. I have a fenced backyard and many parks nearby that are great for a dog stroll!
“Asha has been amazing with my pup, Rahi. She communicates super well and genuinely loves dogs. I get pictures and videos through the day and I’m so much at peace leaving my Rahi with her. Highly, highly recommend!!”
“Lynn is so attentive and kind. Would highly recommend!! She sent so many photos, went on a long hike with my high energy dog, and my dog came home exhausted I know she had a blast.”
About: We've designed our experience a little differently than most. Rather than filling our home with multiple unfamiliar dogs, we intentionally host just one dog (or one family's dogs) at a time. We made this decision because we know separation can be hard. Our goal is to give every guest a calm, relaxing vacation while giving their humans peace of mind knowing their pup has our full attention. My husband Cameron and I have both been around animals our entire lives and have experience with puppies, seniors, bulldogs, and dogs with special needs. We also have two young kids (ages 3 & 6) who absolutely love animals and know how to be gentle and respectful around them. Whether your dog loves hiking, backyard sniff sessions, playing fetch, or simply curling up on the couch for a nap, we'll happily match their pace. We'll also send plenty of photos and updates throughout their stay because we know being away from your dog isn't always easy. We'd love to meet you both! We keep our schedule intentionally flexible so we can build our day around your dog's routine instead of expecting them to adjust to ours. Your dog's safety is our number one priority. Our backyard is fully fenced and we supervise outdoor time closely. Because we have young children, we've already built our home around safety. Medications, chemicals, and anything potentially dangerous stay locked away, and as a gardener I'm always mindful of which plants are safe and which aren't. If your dog joins us for a walk or an adventure, they'll always be on leash and right by our side. They won't be left unattended anytime, ever. We don't take guest dogs to dog parks or introduce them to unfamiliar dogs. We prefer controlled environments where we know exactly what's going on. We know leaving your dog with someone new can feel stressful. We take that responsibility seriously and will care for them like one of our own.
About: I'm a very responsible middle-aged woman who works from home and would be happy to care for your fur baby. Eventually I'll get a dog of my own! Our household consists of me and my partner, Rocky. We both grew up with pets, but currently don't have any. I work about 15-25 hours a week from home so I have plenty of time throughout the day for walks around the neighborhood and trips to the Alameda dog park. My partner and I are homebodies and enjoy spending time working on our house and gardening. I have a fenced in yard and several rooms of my house can be sectioned off to allow for large spaces to hang out, if the dog needs it's own space. I also have plenty of room to set up a crate. I do not have any pets. I would love to get a dog, but I travel to Vancouver 4 times a year to visit my mom in long term care and occasionally I have to travel for a week or more for work and I don't want to leave a pet for that long. My partner goes to the office Monday - Friday.
About: I have been caring for pets my entire life. I have always had at least two or three cats and dogs or two. I have raised puppies and cared for elderly pets. I have cared for diabetic cats and dogs with cancer. I understand the importance of following pet parents instructions when caring for other’s animals because each pet has very different needs. I am free right now all days but Tuesday which is when I attend classes at SFSU. I am free for dogs walks or dog sitting all days but Tuesday as long as I have a days notice. I live in an apartment with no yard right now down the street from lake Merrit. There is a dog park just 1 block down the street with a fence that I will walk dogs down to 4-8 times a day depending on the needs of the dog. We do have a large apartment and very pet friendly environment.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with over 20 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs. I currently have a dog of my own and understand just how much our pets mean to us—they’re family. When I moved my dad to California so I could become his full-time caregiver, bringing his dog with us was never a question. He’s an important part of our family and daily life. I previously had another beloved dog from the age of 13 through 27, giving me experience with puppies, adult dogs, and seniors. I’m comfortable providing patient, attentive care and making sure each dog feels safe, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. As someone who genuinely loves animals, I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. Whether your dog needs a walk, playtime, or simply some extra companionship, I’ll treat them with the same care and attention I give my own. Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine. I currently care for my own dog, so daily walks, feeding, playtime, and making sure he gets plenty of attention are already built into my schedule. Because I have a flexible schedule right now, I’m able to provide pets with extra attention, companionship, and care throughout the day rather than just fitting them in between other commitments. Whether it’s a walk, a drop-in visit, or keeping a pet company while their owner is away, I enjoy making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved. I believe every pet is happiest when their routine stays as consistent as possible. In a client’s home, I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications (if needed), playtime, and any household rules. I also make sure pets receive plenty of attention, affection, and exercise while their owners are away. For walks and drop-in visits, I prioritize safety, communication, and making sure each pet’s individual needs are met. I understand that every animal has a different personality and comfort level, so I take the time to build trust and help them feel secure. As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to have peace of mind when someone else is caring for your pet, and I treat every animal as if they were my own.
“Milo loved Haylee! He even shared his favorite toy with her. Haylee is awesome - she kept me updated and sent me lots of great pics of their adventures! Will certainly be asking for her help again! Milo will be excited to see her.”
About: Gentle (or jumpy!) giants are my specialty. I’ve spent the last 15 years sharing my life with Bullmastiffs, Dogues de Bordeaux and Cane Corsos from puppyhood to passing. Medium dogs are great but the big boys and girls are my heart. All ages welcome. My home is 100% set up for dog life. I’m retired from my full-time career but still work very part-time as a CrossFit coach, and also workout daily. Mornings I’m at the gym but home between classes and all afternoon. I have time for potty in the morning and awesome walks in the afternoon. Of course, cuddle and play time included! I have a fully fenced back yard, a dog run for their business, and a big dog bed in my living room. I have plenty of sanitized toys. Basically my home is set up to share with dogs. Unfortunately, my last baby crossed the rainbow bridge last September so I’m taking this opportunity to care for yours.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, birds, and fish since I was a child. I have trained reactive and high energy dogs and am comfortable walking large dogs on and off leash. I am an attentive walker and am good at constantly managing a dog’s body language and ensuring they don’t get into any trouble! In addition to more high energy dogs, I also love calm, snuggly types. I am happy to give your pup all the snuggles they need. I am excited to take your pet on long hikes or runs or to just spend time hanging out at home. I love them all! I am most available on the weekends but can house sit during the week where WiFi is available! As long as I can work from your home! I can care for your pet by taking them on walks, hikes, or dog park adventures. I can also stay with your pet at your home. I don’t bring folks’ pets into my home.

About: Hi, I’m Austin – a lifelong dog lover with over 15 years of hands-on experience caring for pups of all sizes and temperaments.

Safety is my top priority—I keep a close eye on each dog and never take on more pets than I can give proper attention to. You can trust that while you’re away, your dog will be in a safe, loving, and well-managed space.

“Meghan and Jenny were the absolute best! They watched our Dog Squid for nearly 3 weeks while we were in Europe and we got the cutest updates every single day. I honestly think Squid was sad to leave them to come back home. He had so much fun and was so loved. We absolutely will use them again and cannot begin to describe how comforting it is to know your pet is in a loving home while you are traveling.”

They have a nice spacious home with a big backyard that our dog loved relaxing in. Kristen and Ryan were very communicative throughout the stay and sent daily updates with photos. 100% recommend!”
“I received a lot of communication, videos and pictures from Jonathan. It was clear that our Minnie was being taken good care of and having a good time. This made us feel so happy that we can go out of town and leave her in good hands!”
“Super dog sitter! My dogs were dead tired from all the amazing hikes they were taking. :) We received lots of pictures and communication during their stay so we were sure that they were safe and sound while we were gone. Lots of happy smiles and tail wags when we came back. Would definitely book again!”
“Inkoo was a wonderful host for Tino, keeping him happy with lots of long walks, naps in the sun, and snuggles even on the bed. I loved her daily updates with pictures of him clearly relaxed and enjoying himself. Top notch care! I appreciate that she took my request with fairly short notice and was able to do a meet and greet the next day! We will definitely be reaching out to her again for future boarding needs.”
“Our dog absolutely loved staying with Kate, Chris, and their family! They have a great backyard and gave her lots of hikes, playtime, and snuggles. We are so happy that our dog was treated like family while we were away.”
“Caroline was a super canine vacation host! She sends daily activity messages, pics and comments at days end. She even does follow up work after ... She helped me with trainer etc... highly recommended. Drew miller”
“Jeff & Beth and his children are great sitters. We’re so grateful to have found them! They sent multiple pictures and messages letting me know how our dog Luna was doing throughout her stay. They made the drop off and pick up so easy which is a huge bonus! And Luna came home happy and healthy! You can tell that they really enjoy looking after dogs. They are just really nice people!”
“We are so grateful to [Sitter’s Name] for taking such wonderful care of our dog, Sharu, from the 16th to the 18th. Throughout Sharu’s stay, they kept us updated with plenty of photos and videos, which really gave us peace of mind and made us feel comfortable being away. From the videos, we could see how happy and relaxed Sharu was, even interacting in a friendly way with other dogs — which was such a joy to watch! Thank you again for giving Sharu such a safe, loving, and fun environment. We truly appreciate your care and would happily trust Sharu with you again in the future.”
About: I’ve grown up with cats and kittens my whole life and continued adopting them as an adult — animals have always been at the heart of my home! I’ve raised and trained a puppy from 8 weeks old, cared for up to 3 medium-sized dogs at a time, and have experience housing and caring for rabbits, birds, and reptiles too. 🐶🐱🐰🦜🐸🦎 Your pet will be welcomed into a warm, loving home where they’ll be treated like family! I’m also a pet parent myself — my 1-year-old pup and 9-year-old cat are both incredibly friendly with people and other animals and absolutely love making new friends. They’re always excited to welcome new furry guests! 🐕🐈 I believe pet sitting is so much more than just filling a food bowl twice a day — it’s about being real company for your pet. Surrounded by cozy blankets, their favorite toys from home, and plenty of love, your pet will feel comfortable and right at ease from the moment they arrive. I’m happy to provide multiple daily walks and plenty of undivided attention throughout the day!
“Sharon is incredible! Very proactive with update, and took wonderful care of our little guy. She was patient with him and that he’s still just a puppy and his potty training. Really appreciate all her grace, we felt very comfortable leaving our fur baby with her!”
“Stephanie is an incredible sitter who continues to play a big role in Otis’s development. After a stay with her pack, Otis always returns happy and well-socialized. She provides thoughtful, consistent updates that make us feel connected and reassured while we’re away - even continuing his learning by incorporating some of his latest training and commands. It’s clear she genuinely cares about Otis and tailors each stay to support his growth and happiness. We’re so thankful!”
“Natasha took good care of Kona and gave us a detailed update multiple times with photos for the night we had Kona over at hers. She understood his personality and was able to help him get familiar with his new environment quick and be a snuggle buddy that he is. Sage was also friendly and got along with him as we saw them going on walks together on the photos. Loved it for Kona that he got to experience Sage and his mama! Kona will for sure be back. Thanks Natasha!”
“Charlene was great with my dog, Charlie! She paid attention to his behaviors and needs, and was communicative before and during the time he was there. Will definitely book again!”
