“Anna was as happy and healthy as the day I dropped her off! You guys did a great job with her… I now know at the next time I travel I have the confidence of leaving here in good hands. I bet she misses you guys. We should make a play date scheduled so she can see her new friends! Thank you again”
“Megan and Jenny were a pleasure to meet and chat with. They took care of my dog exceptionally well with great updates and cute photos. My dog really vibed with them that she remembered their house after the initial meet and greet 🥹 thank you so much!”
“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!”
“Isaac and Jordan are wonderful! Our dog Ozzie loves staying with them and always comes home happy. Great communication and care. Thank you Isaac and Jordan!”
“My very energetic lab mix had so much fun with Alexandra. She kept him fetching his ball and well exercised. Alexandra was so easy and accommodating to work with. She was very flexible about drop off and pickup times. She sent pictures and videos every day to show how much fun they were having. I highly recommend Alexandra and will definitely use her again next time we need pet sitting services!”
“Jake takes amazing care of our Phoebe girl! We've had her stay with him every time we have gone out of town. I love that he sends daily pictures of her playing with friends and enjoying his great outdoor space. 10/10 would recommend!”
“Matthew and Van Jospeh did a wonderful job hosting our dog, Stanley, for a 2 night stay. They were very easy to work with, were flexible, very friendly, and Stanley seemed at ease the moment he met them. Would absolutely use their boarding services again. Thank you!”
“Sherry is an AMAZING dog sitter!! I trusted her to care for my sweet but nervous 50lb girl, Ellie, and I could not have asked for a better sitter. Sherry was so thorough, she sent plenty of updates throughout and put me at ease! She was super responsive to my dog’s needs, and I could see Ellie just melting and falling in love with her through the updates. She’s got a lovely, clean and safe apartment and she is obviously someone who knows dogs well. I would trust Sherry with dog sitting ANY day! Highly recommend.”
“Lee did a great job from the very first meet and greet to the last pick up when we had her watch our 2 little chihuahua terrier mixes. She sent us daily photos so that we’d know they were doing well with her other dogs. Highly recommend!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! From the start, Tierra was incredibly considerate of our dog’s routine and needs. We loved getting the daily updates and photos—it really put our minds at ease while we were away. It was clear our dog felt right at home at her place and was treated like family. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Nasreddine was great! I had a last minute trip and luckily she was available to watch my Peaches. She sent daily pictures and updates and treated her like she was her own. Peaches came home happy from all the walks and play time with her new friend. Will definitely use her services again.”
“Albina was great with our dog! He can be very particular about people but he loved her, & got lots of walks & outings! She was super patient with him & we got great updates while we were gone. We would love for our dog to hang with her again!”
“Marlene and her family were absolutely amazing! We left Bean with them for 12 days while we were out of the country, and had such peace of mind knowing how lovingly he was being cared for. They sent regular updates and we could tell Bean was genuinely happy being with them. He grew very attached and close to them. We will definitely reach out to Marlene to care for Bean again.”
“Fuliang was fantastic as always! He’s always on time, took great care of my dogs, and left the house perfectly in order. I even made a mistake with my booking, and he was super helpful in getting it fixed—which honestly saved me, lol. The dogs are happy and so am I. We look forward to seeing you again soon—highly recommend!”
About: I absolutely love all animals! Growing up, my family always had a minimum of two dogs at a time. Since I was young, I have been trusted by friends and family members to watch over not only their pets, but their plants as well. As an adult living alone, I have only ever had 1 cat at a time in my home, however, my plant game has grown to a bit of a jungle! On top of taking care of animals, I also LOVE a clean house and I take it upon myself to always leave people’s homes cleaner than I found them in! I’m currently looking to open my own business doing just that: Pet sitting and deep cleaning while folks are out of town. In my opinion, there is nothing better than coming home from a vacation or a work trip to a clean home and a happy animal! I have been working with Meowtel watching cats for the last year and have found it to be exceptionally rewarding. Recently, my sweet cat passed away and I left my demanding job. Due to these circumstances I have decided that since I have the time and opportunity, opening my home to board would be a great way to expand my offerings. I look forward to meeting this community and giving dog (cat, plant, etc.) owners peace of mind while they travel, get stuck working a double, or just want to support their companion with an extra afternoon walk. I left my extremely demanding job in December after my cat got sick. I wanted to spend as much time with him as possible. Since his passing, I have focused on taking care of pets and cleaning homes. This has brought me more joy than any demanding corporate job, and I hope I can continue to work in this capacity for many years in the future. My schedule is very flexible! I am an animal lover living in an animal free home at this moment. Because of this, I am open to boarding. I am not concerned with animals who want to sit on the couch with me or lay on the bed, but I will follow the rules of what they’re allowed to do at home if you prefer that. My home will be their home, and I will do everything to make sure that they feel safe and cared for while in my hands. I’m an active person and love taking long walks and hikes. So, if that’s something that your dog is into, I am happy to schedule an adventure that meets their mileage needs! On the contrary, if you have a small dog or one who just wants to go out for a stroll around the block or to do their business in the grass, I’m happy to do that too! I have a small unfenced side yard to accommodate. I live on the second floor of an apartment building with no elevator, so if your pup is not able to do stairs and is too heavy to pick up, my home wouldn’t be a good fit.
“Rachel was very patient and attentive with my senior dog who has separation anxiety and some medical needs. She was communicative and easy to work with. My dog did really well staying with her and I would definitely use her services again!”
“Joann is a wonderful Rover. We did a meet and greet at her home a few weeks prior to Jackson’s stay and she was very thorough. She’s experienced and professional. She sent updates with photos and took good care of our boy! We’ll book with her again!”

“Fuliang did a great job. I felt my cat Alba was well cared for. I got a nice detailed report on the last day. Could have used a picture of my cat everyday but otherwise I am a very satisfied customer and will use this sitter again for my pet sitting needs.”
“Cyvanah did a wonderful job taking care of our kitty. Made sure he was well fed, clean, and had lots of activity. Great communication, followed all notes, great photos!!”
“I’ve had Celeste check in on my cats multiple times and I hope to have her check in on them when I am away as long as she is able to! She always leaves great videos and photos and very detailed check in notes. Thank you so much Celeste for your great care of my two cats!”
“Adela was great! She took excellent care of the cats and gave us regular updates, along with adorable pictures! She was also flexible and understanding when our plans changed unexpectedly!”
“Everything was great. Cindy and Cesar were clear with their terms, and stuck by them. They should be everyone’s first choice. Harvey misses them, and he was so excited to see me. He seemed to be very calm and excited to see me, rather than upset! The place was also clean, and there was no trash left (even though they totally had permission to!) highly recommend.”
“Akiko was extremely responsive and went above and beyond. Our cat clearly loved her too! Akiko exhibited outstanding professionalism and genuine care for our pet. Can’t thank her enough.”
“Reijun is so reliable and communicative! She is our absolute 1st choice in care for our cat while we’re away. She is so gentle and patient with our shy cat and always sends lots of pics, videos, and updates! We’re so lucky to have her!”
“Jessica did a great job for the cats and was surprisingly able to coax them out during a short trip. She was very punctual with her check-ins which was very appreciated and did a great job clearing the wet food for the cats each day. Would definitely recommend!”
“Really worked on getting my cats to open up and she was successful! Joyce is phenomenal. She brought up packages (even a heavy one I did not expect to come and is challenging to lift) we really appreciate that as packages do get stolen often. She is the absolute best. We are repeat customers for sure!!”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up with pets, currently have a senior St. Bernard named Denali, and over the years I’ve cared for cats and dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities for friends, neighbors, and family🤗 I know every cat has their own personality and I’m happy to meet them where they are; whether that means playtime and enrichment, quiet companionship, keeping routines consistent, or simply giving them space and making them feel safe while you’re away. I can help with feeding, litter box cleaning, medications (if needed), play sessions, check-ins, cuddles on their terms, and keeping you updated so you can relax knowing they’re cared for 💌
“Thanks so much Viola for watching our furbaby. Viola was very attentive with our cat Pablo and made sure to leave detailed reports of how he was doing. She also provided great photos :)”
“Kevin is wonderful and super kind! There was continuous dialogue and I appreciate Kevin’s patience and follow through! Definitely looking forward to working with Kevin again the future!”
“I was super stressed about finding a sitter for my 11 week old pup last minute for an all day training at work, and even more nervous about having a stranger visit my place! But Alejandra had fantastic reviews and even initiated meet & greet, which I really appreciated. And when she came to meet me and MoMo - boy, did my puppy LOVE her immediately, which made ME love her too!! :) Finally, on the day of the appointment, Alejandra showed up on time, followed all my requests, and took such good care of my puppy for an hour. TYSM Alejandra, I will book with you again next time MoMo needs a sitter!! ❤️❤️❤️”
“Hyazinth was fantastic with our two cats - even our shyer one took to Hyazinth quickly. Hyazinth was super communicative with updates and photos of our cats, and was clearly cuddling and playing with them frequently. We have searched for a long time for a cat sitter we feel totally comfortable leaving our babies with and finally think we have found them!”
“Audrey was wonderful. She followed my instructions, fed Simon appropriately, and played with him. Simon was not alone and he enjoyed his company—I couldn’t ask for more. Thank you, Audrey. I will reach out again as the need arises. 😊”
“Fernando was so pleasant and my kitty didn’t mind him being around 😅. He actively kept me updated on his visits and followed the directions I left behind. I felt at ease while away knowing my cat was in good hands. 🙏🏾”
“Tea took great care of our kitty while we were away. She was very capable and highly responsive which I appreciated, especially being out of the country. She was even able to add a day last minute which was extremely helpful in a pinch! We will definitely her again! Thanks Tea!”
About: I've grown up with multiple cats and now have my own Black cat Billie whom I love very much. I'm my friends go to pet sitter! I have experience with anxious cats and administering medicines/monitoring behaviors.
“Whenever we go away and we are lucky enough to have Danielle cat sit for us, I know Dahlia will be in good hands.its so reassuring to know. And I know Dahlia is having a fine time by the pictures Danielle sends me.”

“If you're anything like me, the guilt of being away at work all day weighs on me, but knowing that instead, my fur-baby is now getting tons of attention, pets, walks, and love puts my mind at ease. Getting cuddles from Van Joseph and Matthew, the company of their sweet little dogs, and soft blankets to sleep in is priceless! I got so many precious photos which brightened my day! Overjoyed to have found Van Joseph and Matthew to care for my sweet girl Petunia!!”
“Brittany was really nice and our dog Burt seemed to do really well with her! At drop off he just went right with her! He got a few walks in and got along with Brittany's dog Basco. Burt generally prefers chill-er companions and it seems like Basco was that. Would definitely return to Brittany for future care.”
“I really appreciated the quick and clear communication, including specific care Jakree gave our dog while he was with him for the day. He sent photos throughout the day which was comforting to see. He has a dog friendly backyard where my dog had fun playing with the other dogs in his care. I will definitely reach out to Jakree again.”

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, from growing up with a schnauzer to now raising Denali, my 10-year-old St. Bernard. Caring for a giant senior dog has taught me so much about patience, attentiveness, mobility needs, routines, and just how important comfort and companionship become as dogs get older. I also have experience dog sitting dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. For the past year, I’ve regularly cared for Cooper, a Maltese/Yorkie mix, sometimes for weeks at a time while his family is away. I genuinely love spending quality time with dogs; not just making sure they’re fed and walked, but making sure they feel safe, stimulated, loved, and understood. I believe a dog’s world is only as big as we help make it, so I care a lot about enrichment, affection, play, exploration, and giving them moments that make their days feel full and exciting. Whether your dog is energetic, anxious, playful, cuddly, tiny, giant, or entering their senior years, I’ll care for them with the same warmth and attention I give my own💖 My schedule is very flexible during mornings and regular daytime working hours, which allows me to be available for walks, drop-ins, playtime, companionship, and daytime care throughout the week. Whether your pet needs a midday walk, company while you’re at work, or extra attention during the day, I’d love to help 💖 I’m available to pick up your pet for walks or provide care directly in your home, where they feel safest and most comfortable. I know how important trust, routine, and environment can be for dogs, so I always try to make their experience feel calm, familiar, and stress-free 🐶🐈

“Tea has been an amazing dog sitter for us! She’s always punctual, sends great photos and detailed updates, and truly cares for our pups. Today, she went above and beyond by accommodating a last-minute request.”
About: My family’s had 2 Havanese dogs a little over 3 years now and I take care of them regularly when they go out for the night or leave town. In addition I occasionally sit for family friends who have a Yorkie and used to watch a neighbor’s cat when she was still with us. Most animals find me agreeable and I try to be consistent and loving with any younger ones so that they’re shaped into the best possible pets. I’ve recently left my long-term job to focus on watching/walking pets. I do some gig work to make ends meet but my main passion right now is animal care. I have a spacious loft apartment in Chinatown Oakland in a very safe neighborhood just a few minutes walk from Lake Merritt. Crating (with one provided for me) in the apartment is an option as well as my sectional couch or rug depending on your animal’s preferences.

I also have experience administering medication, if needed and have experience (for both dogs and cats) with preparing supplements / added medicine to be mixed in with their meals. A personal side interest of mine is also doing training for dogs. So if your dog has any particular behaviors, you’d like to be worked on, let me know and we can work on tackling an issue together.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs my whole life within my family but I’ve also taken my own path on raising puppies from the liter of my own dogs in my parents home having babies. As I’ve gotten older, I’ve taken in two dogs from the streets and have been raising them since one month old. I work for myself so any time I’d need to accommodate for your pups needs I can do that ! I just want to be of convenience for the dog parents because I know how hard it can be managing your life with your fur baby. I have crates if preferred to be used but I also have my own babies that I can bring over to spend time with your fur baby so they don’t feel alone or left out. My babies love other dogs, they are so playful and fun !
“Jay is great with my little guy and he just loves the special attention he receives. Jay has been walking Chipper for a few months and he looks forward to his daily walks! Knowing that he is well cared for and spoiled while I am at work is such a relief.”
“Reijun was amazing!! So attentive and communicative taking care of both our dog and cat at various times while we were away from home for two weeks. We knew from the first meet and greet with our Jack Russell terrier that her energy was perfect for Huey and that he would be well-cared for, and we were not disappointed. Also, when we realized we had missed a day in the original booking when we would need dog walking after we had already left on our trip, she was able to accommodate the change in schedule, which saved a lot of stress on our part. Reijun was great to work with and will definitely book with her again!”

“Anna was as happy and healthy as the day I dropped her off! You guys did a great job with her… I now know at the next time I travel I have the confidence of leaving here in good hands. I bet she misses you guys. We should make a play date scheduled so she can see her new friends! Thank you again”
“Megan and Jenny were a pleasure to meet and chat with. They took care of my dog exceptionally well with great updates and cute photos. My dog really vibed with them that she remembered their house after the initial meet and greet 🥹 thank you so much!”
“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!”
“My very energetic lab mix had so much fun with Alexandra. She kept him fetching his ball and well exercised. Alexandra was so easy and accommodating to work with. She was very flexible about drop off and pickup times. She sent pictures and videos every day to show how much fun they were having. I highly recommend Alexandra and will definitely use her again next time we need pet sitting services!”
“Jake takes amazing care of our Phoebe girl! We've had her stay with him every time we have gone out of town. I love that he sends daily pictures of her playing with friends and enjoying his great outdoor space. 10/10 would recommend!”
“Nasreddine was great! I had a last minute trip and luckily she was available to watch my Peaches. She sent daily pictures and updates and treated her like she was her own. Peaches came home happy from all the walks and play time with her new friend. Will definitely use her services again.”
“Fuliang was fantastic as always! He’s always on time, took great care of my dogs, and left the house perfectly in order. I even made a mistake with my booking, and he was super helpful in getting it fixed—which honestly saved me, lol. The dogs are happy and so am I. We look forward to seeing you again soon—highly recommend!”
About: I absolutely love all animals! Growing up, my family always had a minimum of two dogs at a time. Since I was young, I have been trusted by friends and family members to watch over not only their pets, but their plants as well. As an adult living alone, I have only ever had 1 cat at a time in my home, however, my plant game has grown to a bit of a jungle! On top of taking care of animals, I also LOVE a clean house and I take it upon myself to always leave people’s homes cleaner than I found them in! I’m currently looking to open my own business doing just that: Pet sitting and deep cleaning while folks are out of town. In my opinion, there is nothing better than coming home from a vacation or a work trip to a clean home and a happy animal! I have been working with Meowtel watching cats for the last year and have found it to be exceptionally rewarding. Recently, my sweet cat passed away and I left my demanding job. Due to these circumstances I have decided that since I have the time and opportunity, opening my home to board would be a great way to expand my offerings. I look forward to meeting this community and giving dog (cat, plant, etc.) owners peace of mind while they travel, get stuck working a double, or just want to support their companion with an extra afternoon walk. I left my extremely demanding job in December after my cat got sick. I wanted to spend as much time with him as possible. Since his passing, I have focused on taking care of pets and cleaning homes. This has brought me more joy than any demanding corporate job, and I hope I can continue to work in this capacity for many years in the future. My schedule is very flexible! I am an animal lover living in an animal free home at this moment. Because of this, I am open to boarding. I am not concerned with animals who want to sit on the couch with me or lay on the bed, but I will follow the rules of what they’re allowed to do at home if you prefer that. My home will be their home, and I will do everything to make sure that they feel safe and cared for while in my hands. I’m an active person and love taking long walks and hikes. So, if that’s something that your dog is into, I am happy to schedule an adventure that meets their mileage needs! On the contrary, if you have a small dog or one who just wants to go out for a stroll around the block or to do their business in the grass, I’m happy to do that too! I have a small unfenced side yard to accommodate. I live on the second floor of an apartment building with no elevator, so if your pup is not able to do stairs and is too heavy to pick up, my home wouldn’t be a good fit.
“Joann is a wonderful Rover. We did a meet and greet at her home a few weeks prior to Jackson’s stay and she was very thorough. She’s experienced and professional. She sent updates with photos and took good care of our boy! We’ll book with her again!”
“I felt very comfortable leaving my pup with Shareese on my recent trip. She kept in touch with me throughout my time away with updates and pictures of how my pup was doing. I would be happy to have Shareese watch my pup again in the future.”
“Meera is the best, Stella had a great time with her and Riley. She took Stella for a walk many times and kept me posted about everything at all times. Riley and Stella became best friends, I can wait to book again and I couldn’t recommend her more❤️🥳 thank you Meera!”
“Paul was a fantastic sitter for my dog! He was very communicative and made me feel like my pup was in great hands while I was out of town. I forgot to pack toys for my dog so he went out and bought him something to play with! I highly recommend Paul for anyone who wants a loving sitter for their pets!”

“Sharon took great care of Cain, especially given a recent health concern that popped up for him right before we were leaving for our trip. I felt that he was comfortable and in great care!”
“Kristen and Ryan were incredibly warm and accommodating when first meeting my small and nervous doggie. They showed their home and clearly demonstrated a level of care and experience that gave me a lot of comfort and would definitely rebook. They were also attentive of how our dogs interacted and made sure they experienced little to no distress. Highly recommend their services 🩷”
“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.”
“Coco did great with Rob. She's mostly wary of dogs bigger than her but the weekend she stayed there there were 2 big dogs coco was scared at first but soon became comfortable around everyone and made friends. Thank you Rob for creating a warm friendly and loving environment for my Coco.”
