“Alex did a great job looking after our dog for 3 weeks. We received regular updates and pictures throughout the trip which made us feel at ease She is quick with communications when coordinating pickup/dropoff. Overall we had a great experience and would book with Alex again!”
“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.”
“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. We got a ton of pictures and they even helped coordinate pick up with a friend of ours while we were still out of town. Highly recommend!”
“Truly such a great experience for my dog. Stephanie was so nice and flexible with my schedule. I needed a last min booking and Stephanie truly went above and beyond to help accommodate and give my dog a great time. She exposed my pup to some new activities, like bike riding, which he loved!! It was also my pups birthday when she took care of him and she even gave him a little homemade peanut butter lick mat to celebrate. You won’t regret booking with Stephanie if you’re looking for someone to treat your pup like her own! :)”
“My dog loves Albina. She has watched Izzy many times. They are the bestest of friends. I always feel so comfortable leaving Izzy with Albina. She is clearly a dog person, knows what she's doing and can connect deeply with Izzy. Such a godsent to be able to have someone I can always rely on with my dog. Thanks again Albina! Until next time. Izzy can't wait to see you again ❤️”
About: Hi! I’m Alejandra! I’m a WFH dog mom based in downtown Oakland who treats every dog as if they were my own. I know how important it is to feel confident leaving your dog with someone else, so I care for each pup the same way I’d want my own dog cared for: with love, patience, and attention. Because I work from home, your dog will get plenty of supervision, cuddles, and a calm, home-style environment. I love staying in touch with pet parents and regularly send photo and video updates so you always know how your dog is doing. While I don’t have a private yard, I live in a dog-friendly building with a secure, fenced dog park, and I take dogs out frequently for walks and supervised play (with owner approval). My goal is for both you and your dog to feel comfortable and at ease while you’re away, and I’m always happy to schedule a meet & greet 🐾 **For house-sitting/dog walking/check in bookings, I come alone — I do not bring my dog with me. This allows your pup to stay in their own familiar space with my full attention and care I work from home but My world revolves around my dog. What he says goes lol jk but I do love to do things that include him and other pups and make them as happy as possible bc they truly deserve it. I provide a calm, loving home environment and follow each dog’s routine closely. I focus on safety, supervision, positive reinforcement, and making every dog feel comfortable and cared for. My apartment building has it's own private dog park we can safely enjoy as well, I have my own dog at home, so I’m careful about slow introductions and only accept dogs that are friendly with other dogs.
“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.”
“Thank you Megan & Jenny! I needed to board my dog for one night with short notice and Megan & Jenny were able to board him. They responded quickly to my request and communicated with texts and photos during my dog's stay. My dog looked happy and it seems like he was well cared for. I will be contacting Megan & Jenny again for dog sitting and boarding.”
“She is wonderful! I have never seen my dog gravitate towards anyone the way he did with her (he's well, less than friendly with new people). She sends pics throughout the day and is very accommodating!”
“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.”
“Spunky did a trial overnight stay and Joann was super sweet and welcoming! I got regular updates, photos, and could tell that my dog was truly comfortable and well cared for.”
“Shannon is a phenomenal sitter. Our Miri absolutely loves her and Rocky. Miri is always happy to see her and when he’s with her we feel completely at ease knowing that he’s in good care. She takes amazing photos and I would encourage her to start a pet photography side business! As a sitter Shannon has been so accommodating by being able to be flexible when we’ve had some unexpected travel come up. She is very responsive and sends daily updates. We will continue booking with Shannon in the future.”
“Sara is amazing! She is very kind, loving, thoughtful, and attentive. Ruffles is not an easy dog! He’s highly anxious and kind of a bully, so I appreciate that she is firm, consistent, and most of all - loving! - with him. Thank you for taking care of my baby while I was away! I have peace of mind knowing he’s in Sara’s care.”
“She and her mom was amazing they made my puppy feel like he was apart of their family. Giving him so much love, the daily updates and was so patient with him. I will definitely book her again for our next trip.”
“Mary is wonderful! We recently adopted our dog from a shelter and he has some separation anxiety, so we weren't sure how his first overnight stay would go, but Mary's patient and thoughtful approach helped him feel comfortable quickly. We appreciated that she set up a meet & greet with her dog in advance, and then was in touch throughout his stay. We'll be sure to book Mary in the future.”
“Esteban and Edelis very easy to coordinate with for a meet and greet and Kaazu's stay. He came back a very happy tired! We would let Kaazu stay with them again for sure”
“Abigail was awesome and took great care of our almost 5 year old Havanese, Bailey. She was very responsive, quickly answering any questions we had. Her home and yard area were perfect. Bailey loved the extra walks and settled in nicely. We really appreciated all the photos and short videos Abigail sent letting us know Bailey was in excellent hands. We will definitely ask Abigail to watch Bailey the next time the need arises.”
“Daryl and Andrew were wonderful. They were patient, warm, and very caring with our pup Loki. In addition, they were gracious in enabling us to slightly shift pick up time at the last minute. I would highly recommend them.”

“Jessica went above and beyond in caring for my rambunctious cat while I was out of town. My cat doesn’t always like people but he loved her right away and Jessica did such a wonderful job sending photos and updates. When I came home I could tell that my baby was well taken care of. I cannot recommend Jessica enough!”
About: My sister and I currently care for one dog and two cats, so I'm experienced with the daily routines that keep pets happy and healthy. From walks, feeding, and playtime to cleaning litter boxes and making sure everyone gets plenty of attention, I understand that every pet has unique needs and personalities. I'm patient, dependable, and attentive, and I'll care for your pets the same way I care for my own. Whether it's a long walk, drop-in visit, or overnight house sitting, I'll make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I also know how important communication is, so I'll keep you updated with photos and messages throughout each visit for added peace of mind.
“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!”
“Stephanie did an incredible job watching my cat! She provided lots of pictures, videos and detailed updates every day. She was also super helpful grabbing packages, watering house plants and dealing with an unexpected ant issue. Truly so grateful! I strongly recommend her for any pet care you may require.”
About: Hi there! I’m so happy you’re here. If there’s one thing I know for sure, it’s that cats hold a very special place in my heart. I’ve always been naturally drawn to felines and have spent my life surrounded by them—understanding their subtle body language, respecting their boundaries, and soaking in the calm, grounding presence they bring into a room. I offer loving, in-home cat sitting designed to keep your kitty feeling safe, relaxed, and cherished in their own familiar environment. Whether your cat is an energetic player who loves chasing feather wands, a gentle soul who just wants quiet lap time, or a shy shadow who prefers low-key company from across the room, I tailor every visit to their unique personality and pace. Having cat-sat for family and friends, I know how much peace of mind matters when you’re away. My part-time schedule gives me wonderful daily flexibility, meaning I never have to rush my visits. I have plenty of time to dedicate to clean litter boxes, fresh food and water, playful stimulation, and all the affection (or quiet space!) your cat desires. I’m also available for overnight stays to give your home a cozy, lived-in feel and keep your kitty’s normal routine perfectly intact. I bring a blend of calm, reliable presence and genuine warmth to every drop-in, ensuring your furry best friend stays happy, serene, and thoroughly pampered while you’re out!
“Definitely recommend Lia for folks who have kitties that need a safe space while traveling/away from home. Communication was easy & I appreciated the pictures she sent. Although the stay was very brief, she still got my shy kitty out from hiding to enjoy treats. :) Thanks again!!”
“Soumeya was very accommodating, flexible, and communicative. And most importantly made sure to send lots of cute pictures of Honey. Honey seems like she enjoyed her stay. Thanks so much!”
“Cyvanah was so attentive and experienced with our rambunctious (difficult) cat and our shy, timid cat. We appreciated the daily pictures, messages and updates on their daily shenanigans. She was very communicative and when she couldn’t find our shy cat Mina, she made sure to call us to check other hiding spots, which was thoughtful. Would highly recommend Cyvannah to others - you will be in trusted hands!”
“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.”
“Reijun was the best sitter for our cat Sado for the second time!! She always takes such great care of our girl who is so happy to see her! Reijun always arrives promptly and sends lots of pictures and video! I look forward to having her watch Sado again!”
“Maddie is a very reliable and trustworthy person. She was communicative throughout her overnight stay with my cat Zoe, who is less than enthusiastic about anyone other than me. I will definitely book with her again.”
“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. 😊”
“This was my 2nd time booking with Alejandra to check in with my puppy for 30 mins while I was at my office all day. Alejandra is so sweet and caring, my boy MoMo loves her so much! TYSM for taking such good care of him and accommodating all my requests! ❤️❤️❤️”

About: I‘ve been rescuing cats since I was a kid. As an adult I continued taking care of more stray cats and they helped learn a lot about FIV, FeLV and the specific needs that senior cats have.

“Alejandra is the best! She took such good care of MoMo and sent me photos & updates throughout the day. This is my 3rd booking with her and my trust in her grows each time - Tysm Alejandra!”
“Ruthy is the best! Huey goes to the dog park multiple times a day and is socializing with the other dogs all day. He comes home tired, happy and hungry. Thank you ruthy!! ”
“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.”
About: Looking for a personal oasis for your pet? 💛 —- Look no further in having a responsible animal lover dote on your pet. —- ** Only Taking Pet Sitting Requests 1-2 weeks in Advance Notice ** —- **with Pet and Owner Profiles Fully Filled Out* + **an Initial Phone or Video Call, then Meet and Greet in Person** - Thank you! — I grew up around two chihuahas, a german shepard, and two friendly pomeranians at my aunt and uncle’s house. Playing, giving them treats, and making sure they stayed within neighborhood bounds were a regular for my brother and me. I’ve also had the honor to house sit for a variety of dogs and cats. I’ve cared for the needs of senior cats to playful pups to independent rescues, to mischievous kittens. With this experience, I am happy to care for and get to know more of your beloved furred ones! … It is also a special interest of mine to do training for dogs. I believe in using Positive Reinforcement and loving gentleness when it comes time to handling animals. I’m currently working towards getting my CBATI-KA through Grisha Stewart’s Academy and becoming Fear Free certified. I love continually learning through different trainers and educators under the CCPDT’s guidelines of LIMA (Least Intrusive Minimal Aversive). —- I also was certified with Pet CPR Aid with ProHero Training. —- Let’s book a Meet & Greet! Scheduling: I work as a FT freelancer, so please respond in a timely manner and communicate as much in advance, so I can best fit you and your pet into my schedule/space! — Some things I’d like to know from you: When is your best availability for an initial Meet & Greet? What is the size, breed, and temperament of your animal(s)? Are you ok with me posting pics of your pets? — Thank you! + Please note I will always value you and your fur babies’ comfortability first. … Your pet(s) and their personalities are the Star of the show! — Please let me know about your pet’s personal likes/dislikes, favorite toys, treats, any allergies, and/or particular preferences for comfort & joy. 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.
“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!”
“Latricia is a really kind person who has taken wonderful care of our dog during boarding and day care. He clearly loves seeing Latricia and hanging out with his dog buddies at her pad. And she sends us really adorable photos every time! We'll definitely continue using her services. Thanks Latricia!”
“Courtney is amazing! Llew has boarded a few times with her (we don’t trust him with anyone else) and this was his first time experiencing Doggy Daycare!! He LOVED it and anytime we pulled onto the street he would be in a rush to go inside and wouldn’t look back. Courtney not only cares so much, but she has also definitely helped with training as I feel like Llew has definitely picked up on Oliver’s great habits. He’s more confident and calm! Courtney has excellent communication and also sends multiple updates and pics throughout the day. Llew is fixed now, but before he’d want to constantly play (puppy energy) and Ollie would always play with Llew no matter what (even if he was tired). He is the sweetest dog. We are so thankful for Courtney and her family!”
About: I‘ve rescued, fostered and placed animals from different species in homes since 11 years ago. It all started with my soul dog who made me get into dog training and ethology. More animals came into my life and continued to taught me how to properly take care for disabled and senior animals who had terminal cancer, seizures, and mobility issues. As well as different species of animals that urgently needed veterinary care and new homes like bearded dragons, turtles, rats, chickens, cows and fish. I‘m surrounded by a community of animal rescuers who have taught me a lot on how to help more animals and educate the public about their needs and challenges. It‘s very important for pet parents to leave their animals at the hands of people who understand that these pets are family members and each of them is unique and deserves to be given the best care and life possible. I‘m currently available most days of the week, and trying to get consistent pups that I can take on adventures with others at least twice a week. I‘m also available for boarding and house sitting. I train tuesdays-fridays at night for an hour. I like to do multiple walks and exercise at selected parks around berkeley and oakland. I live in a 1b-1ba apartment with a big cemented balcony in an apartment building. All my windows and balcony door have a screen. My door goes to a carpeted hallway with other apartments so there‘s no possibility of escaping accidents. I also have a 360 camera at my apartment which I use for monitoring.
About: Hi there! We’re a married couple with no kids, and dogs have always been a big part of our lives. We both grew up in households our whole lives caring for pups of all sizes from energetic German Shepherds, playful Shitzus, and sweet Golden Retrievers! Between Edelis and I, we have over 20 years of experience. After recently moving from LA, we spend our weekends exploring new parks, new neighborhoods, and staying active outdoors around SF. We miss having our own fur babies around, so we’re excited to share our home and plenty of love with yours! Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or cozy downtime, your dog will be treated like family ❤️ Our weekdays are structured yet flexible, and our weekends are completely dedicated to pets. Edelis works downtown Tuesday through Friday from 9–5 as a Family Nurse Practitioner, and I work from home a standard 9–5 schedule at a tech company as a Monetization Strategy Manager. Your pup’s safety and comfort are our top priorities. We live in a clean, non-smoking, dog-friendly one-bedroom apartment with a private outdoor patio. Our home is very tidy, pet-safe, and stays comfortable year round with AC and heating. We’re right across from Patricia’s Green dog park and just a 10-minute walk to Alamo Square Park, so daily walks and park time are part of the routine. We also have a car for transportation including any pet emergencies or vet visits if ever needed. Whether we’re caring for dogs in our home or yours, we follow your pup’s usual schedule for feeding, walks, and playtime to keep things consistent. We are more than happy to send regular photo and text updates so you can relax knowing your furry friend is happy.
About: Hi I’m Damian 👋🏻 I love walking dogs of all sizes and breeds. I walk dogs because it’s fun and fulfilling for me. I have flexibility to be available when it is best for you and your pup. I’ll be consistent and very easy to work with! I look forward to meeting you and your dog! I work remotely. I’m happy to flex my work schedule based on you and your dogs needs! Let me know what works best for you! I will walk your dog and treat your dog as if it were mine! Please share you and your dog’s needs and safety concerns and we can put together a plan. :)
About: I’ve worked professionally with dogs since 2013 as a canine behavior consultant and dog trainer, and pet care is my full-time work. I provide boarding, training, and behavior consultations from my 1200 square foot, open floor plan, work/live Storehouse Lofts location, situated in Alameda Point. Because I work from home, dogs in my care aren’t left alone for a full workday, and I board only a limited number of dogs so each guest can settle in at their own pace in a calm, comfortable environment. I am PetTech certified in CPR and First Aid for pets. Every stay begins with a Meet & Greet to make sure it’s a good fit, and I provide regular photo updates so you can feel confident your dog is safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Dog care is my full-time profession, so your dog will spend the day with me rather than being left alone while I'm at another job. The longest I typically leave home is about two hours. The rest of the day is spent providing potty breaks, walks, play, enrichment, rest, and plenty of individual attention while keeping each dog's normal routine as consistent as possible. Boarding Hours & Pick-Up Policy: Boarding drop-offs and pick-ups are available between 8:00 AM and 8:00 PM. Pick-ups after 1:00 PM on the final day are billed at my standard daycare rate, regardless of the original drop-off time. I do not schedule pick-ups or drop-offs after 8:00 PM. If travel delays make an after 8:00 PM pickup unavoidable, your dog's stay will be extended until the following day, subject to availability. Your dog's safety and comfort are my highest priorities. My 1,200 square foot work/live loft is located in Storehouse Lofts, one of the Bay Area’s most dog-friendly work/live communities. The building features a private resident dog park just steps from my door as well as a complete, professionally outfitted dog bathing room (replete with with grooming tub and high velocity dryer). The building is newly renovated, and has an interesting history: it was formerly the general supply warehouse for the US Navy. It is located within Alameda Point, the name given to the massive redevelopment of the former Alameda Naval Air Station. The Alameda Point redevelopment project has turned this huge former military base into miles of safe and quiet walkable areas, waterfront parks and recreation spaces along with warehouses (like my building) and hanger spaces converted into a mix of small businesses, artisan workspaces, startups, sports facilities, bakeries, breweries, and more. For dogs who enjoy more high-energy social time and room to run, the huge Main Street Dog Park (with scenic City and Port of Oakland views) is also within walking distance. My loft space is secure, has heat and A/C, and I run a HEPA air purifier continuously. The loft has 14 foot ceilings, and there are huge original warehouse style windows that let the sun shine in, and open for fresh air. It is a quiet, relaxing, and calm space. Every boarding stay begins with a meet & greet to make sure we're a good fit and to help your dog settle in comfortably.
“Didem and her husband always take great care of Zeke, and he is always excited to spend time with them. Didem is very responsive and communicative. I trust and highly recommend her!”
About: Hello! My name is Shanna (like banana) a non-profit consultant based in the Bay Area. I love animals and have lots of experience caring for pets (cats and dogs) either in your home or at my house. I'm interested in helping you feel peace of mind knowing that your fur friend is taken care of. Please ask me any questions. I'm looking for opportunities that make sense with my schedule, and I'm happy to accommodate your needs. Thank you for your consideration. I'm currently working on a contract basis and primarily remote so I have time to stop by your home or house-sit as long as there is reliable Wi-Fi. Typically, when pet-sitting for friends, I will feed, walk, or change out litter boxes as often as needed. If I am not staying at the owner's home full-time, I will make sure the animal gets sufficient interaction and love daily. If an animal is staying in my home during the day, I have a fenced-in, locked yard (though I generally wouldn't have an animal outside without me) and there is also a dog-friendly park less than two blocks from my home.
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.
About: I have had the pleasure of growing up with dogs ranging from small to large! Dogs have become such a big part of my life and now I am thankful to have a dog of my own, Theo❤️ I have looked after pets of friends and family for many years and I enjoy doing it every time! I am able to administer any type(s) of medications, brushing of hair or teeth, mental stimulation, long walks, dog parks, you name it! I work full time remote therefore my schedule is very flexible. I am able to take your pup out as many as 3x or more! I want every furry friend to feel as comfortable as possible. I respect any pet rules you have in your home and will be sure to follow during the stay!
“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 only board dogs from one home at a time* I love to jog around Lake Merritt, and I'd be happy to take your fur baby along for a run! I've cared for dogs and cats, healthy and sick, with very specific dietary restrictions and activity needs. I wish I could have my own pet, but since I travel pretty often, this is the next best thing. :-) I’m a Product Manager with a hybrid work schedule. Rest assured, I can easily get from work to home on in-office days for walks/drop-ins if needed. I also work at a dog friendly office. I am available most days for drop-ins 2x/day. On weekday evenings, I typically go on runs (with/without dogs!). Expect many photos of your fur baby while you're away! I'm happy to drop in to check on food, water, litter (for cats), and take your pup on walks. I am very detail oriented, so if you have very particular instructions regarding diet or preferences while outside, you can trust me to follow them. For boarding, I have bowls for water and food as well as doggy waste bags. You would need to provide their food, treats, toys, (litter for kitties), and anything else to make their stay more comfortable!
“Another great stay with Sophia! My dog can sometimes be too nervous to eat when she's away from home even ate her dinner at Sophia's place - a good sign that she's relaxed.”

“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.”
“Sophie has been amazing with my girl Rosie as she adjusts to city life. She has made a huge impact on keeping her calm and helping keep her active by giving her good exercise and working with to stay calm and focused while encountering squirrels, other dogs and loud noises on their walks. I have noticed such a change due to Sophie's interventions. Sophie is prompt, communicative and kind. A one of a kind! Rosie adores her!”

If an animal is staying in my home during the day, I have a fenced-in, locked yard (though I generally wouldn't have an animal outside without me) and there is also a dog-friendly park less than two blocks from my home.
About: I’ve always enjoyed having furry companions. I look forward to providing care and love for your pet while you’re at work or out of town. I love caring for dogs as well as cats. I have a very flexible schedule and am able to attend to your pets at any time. Day or night, I am available and happy to help. Caring for a pet requires love, responsibility, and attention to their needs. I will ensure that your pet is taken care of as you would care for your pet while you’re away.
“Esteban is awesome! He takes good care of Sunny, my terrier puppy. And sends me lots of detailed updates and wonderful photos. Sunny seems very relaxed and happy after walks/hangs with Esteban. Thank you so very much for all that you do!”
“MJ is absolutely wonderful! My dog, Mazie, immediately fell in love with her and they’ve become the best of friends after just a few walks. I’m a nurse and gone for 14 hour days, so I have MJ come over for two walks/playtime visits. By the time I get home from work, Mazie is pooped and ready for bed! I love that MJ provides photos of my happy girl and thorough details about her visits. She’ll even play and give treats and love to our cat. It’s evident just how much she loves and cares for animals, regardless of whether they’re her own. I’m so grateful to have found her!!!!”
About: I’ve take care of dogs of family and friends of various sizes, breeds, and ages and love them as if they were my own! I am able to play with and walk them regularly and can accommodate to whatever special care they need. I’m usually pretty active myself and would love to take your dog out on some nice runs or hikes if they like that kind of activity :) -always on leash though because we’re not trying to risk anything out here <3 I work a hybrid 9-5 job and am usually available on the weekends for pet care. Mid-week arrangements may be accepted if discussed in advance so I can schedule my “work from home” days to accommodate. I live in condo complex that has a closed off large courtyard. My home has animal friendly plants, and unfriendly plants kept out of reach.
About: Hey there! I've had dogs my entire life, they are earth angels 😇 and it is a pleasure and honor to be able to care for them. I am available for sitting overnights at yours or my place. I have been professionally pet sitting for about 9 years and love it! I'm capable of training and use positive reinforcements. Experienced with many personalities and needs such as senior and anxiety care, I am a patient and reliable animal lover. While I am home 95% of the time, if they have severe separation anxiety, it is helpful and preferred if you provide anti-anxiety medication, as I do still have to step out briefly occasionally. My goal and priority is to make them as comfortable as possible while you're away, and to give you peace of mind that they are safe and happy! I live in an apartment with great natural light near Lake Merritt, making walks very accessible. I am highly attentive to their needs and our surroundings, and am a cuddle master. We can discuss and tailor as you see fit! I love cats and others also, so if a dog isn't your need, I got'cha! I check in with photos at least 2x a day- and can add or reduce based on your preferences. I'm passionate about eco-sustainability and regeneration, enjoying life, beautiful food, and overall wellness for everyone. I have a decent amount of flexibility, which allows me to be present the majority of the time to spend with them, and I'm a homebody. I am happy to work with your schedule. I'm affectionate, I communicate clearly, directly, and friendlily. With you and your animals. I am protective and highly intune with my surroundings and those in them. I follow your care instructions and make sure everyone has what they need!
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.
About: Hi there! I’m so excited to connect with you and your furry family members. I offer loving, attentive in-home dog walking and pet sitting right in the comfort of your pup’s favorite place—their own home! Whether your dog thrives on energetic neighborhood strolls, playful backyard fetch sessions, or just cozy, mindful companionship while you’re away, I tailor every visit to match their natural rhythm and personality. My journey with dogs is rooted in deep care and connection. I’ve had the joy of fostering rescue dogs, helping them feel safe, loved, and confident while preparing them for their forever families. I still keep in close touch with their adoptive parents (and love getting their updates and photo check-ins!). I also regularly dog-sit for family, so caring for pups with all kinds of temperaments and needs feels completely natural to me. Because I work part-time, my schedule is wonderfully open and flexible. I have plenty of free time during the day to dedicate to long walks, attentive care, and quality bonding. I’m also available for overnight stays, giving your home a lived-in presence and giving your dog the peace of mind of having a trusted friend nearby through the night. I bring a blend of positive energy, reliable communication, and genuine affection to every visit—because your pet deserves nothing less than complete comfort and joy while you’re away! Because I work part-time, pet care isn’t something I just squeeze into the margins of my day—it’s a intentional, central part of my everyday life. My daily and weekly schedule is wonderfully open and fluid, which gives me the gift of time. I’m able to dedicate slow, unhurried visits to your pets, whether that means taking a mid-day sunshine walk, offering mid-afternoon playtime and cuddles, or staying overnight so your home stays warm and lived-in while you're away. When you welcome me into your home and entrust me with your beloved pets, I treat both with the utmost care, respect, and mindfulness. Having fostered rescue dogs, I know that every animal thrives on feeling safe, understood, and relaxed in their natural element.
“Greg’s amazing. This was my first experience with Greg and he was fantastic. Communicative, prompt, and June had a great walk and has been sleeping all day! I’ll be using Greg going forward!”
About: I’ve loved animals since I was a child and grew up with bunnies, cats, and dogs within my home. I understand that pets are family and you can rest assured that they will be treated as such (if not as royalty) while staying with me! I work from home 3 days a week and have a very flexible schedule! Can take frequent walk, play and cuddle breaks throughout the day! Looking forward to making your pet feel right at home in addition to spoiling them! I have a 2 bed/2 bath condo and live walking distance to Jack London Square. I grew up with a family dog and trained a few as puppies. Happy to work on crate training or helping with any needs you have!
About: Hi! My name is Viola - I live in Oakland and I will look after your cat or dog! I have taken care of cats and dogs all my life - I treat your pet like they are my family! I have significant experience caring for cats and understand their personalities so well! I frequently cat-sit for the neighbors in my building and have checked on 5 different cats in one weekend! If you have a dog that is high energy, I'm happy to take them on runs! I'm very active and enjoy walking, hiking, and running with dogs. I live and work close to parks, dog parks, and open spaces where your dog can get all the socialization and exercise they need. Please let me know if you have a unique schedule, I can always try to accommodate! I work from home so my schedule is more flexible. Checking on your pet is a nice break in my routine and something I look forward to! Your pet(s) will get all the attention and feel loved and cared for while I’m with them. Your home will definitely be in safe hands!
About: I love providing care that feels personal and full of joy. Animals have always been part of my life, and after years of experience, over 90 bookings and counting; I’ve learned that connection matters most. My goal is to engage and exhaust, because happy dogs are tired dogs. Every visit is about building trust and comfort. When families choose to rebook, it’s more than a service; it’s a relationship built on love, reliability, and understanding. My family works from home. I own a dog; dogs are integrated into every part of my daily and weekly routine. Dogs make me happy. I follow owner instructions. Limiting interactions with strangers decreases the possibility of accidents. Making the decision that guarantees safety is the only option I seek.

“Alex did a great job looking after our dog for 3 weeks. We received regular updates and pictures throughout the trip which made us feel at ease She is quick with communications when coordinating pickup/dropoff. Overall we had a great experience and would book with Alex again!”
“Truly such a great experience for my dog. Stephanie was so nice and flexible with my schedule. I needed a last min booking and Stephanie truly went above and beyond to help accommodate and give my dog a great time. She exposed my pup to some new activities, like bike riding, which he loved!! It was also my pups birthday when she took care of him and she even gave him a little homemade peanut butter lick mat to celebrate. You won’t regret booking with Stephanie if you’re looking for someone to treat your pup like her own! :)”
“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.”
“Thank you Megan & Jenny! I needed to board my dog for one night with short notice and Megan & Jenny were able to board him. They responded quickly to my request and communicated with texts and photos during my dog's stay. My dog looked happy and it seems like he was well cared for. I will be contacting Megan & Jenny again for dog sitting and boarding.”
“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.”
“Spunky did a trial overnight stay and Joann was super sweet and welcoming! I got regular updates, photos, and could tell that my dog was truly comfortable and well cared for.”
“Daryl and Andrew were wonderful. They were patient, warm, and very caring with our pup Loki. In addition, they were gracious in enabling us to slightly shift pick up time at the last minute. I would highly recommend them.”
“First time using Rover and we were very happy! We felt comfortable knowing our dog was in good hands, and got updates daily. We were nervous about our dog trying to slip out the front door in a new environment, but Rob's gated entryway put us at ease.”
“Leonard truly came through for us on a last-minute trip out of town. A devoted dog person through and through, he kept us updated with photos and was incredibly communicative. His care and attention made him our favorite dogsitter to date. We’ll definitely be booking with him again and again!”
“Alexis was great. Very communicative and was able to take care of my dog that had many special needs, many medications to take, and a specific routine needing to follow. I highly recommend booking with Alexis!”
“Kristen and Ryan were very welcoming of our pup! They were understanding of her nuances and helped her adjust to a new environment fast. 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 booked Asia at the last minute for a long 6 days stay, and she was absolutely amazing. She was incredibly responsive and very understanding of my dog’s situation. She was also flexible and patient with my late-hour drop‑off and pick‑up, which I really appreciated. She took such good care of Coquita, and to my surprise, my dog even got along with her dog, which is something that never happens because Coquita usually isn’t friendly with other dogs. She kept me updated throughout the stay with pictures and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind. I would definitely book with her again. She made a stressful, last‑minute situation feel easy and reassuring, and I felt completely comfortable leaving Coquita in her care.”
“Ben and his family took the best care of Bruce. Their home was warm and welcoming and Bruce got so much love. Bruce had an infection that they spotted and were very communicative with us. They managed to bring Bruce to the vet so he could get the right medication/treatment. We were really grateful to be informed and really trust Ben and his family who took such excellent care of Bruce.”
“Nova loves staying with Ruthy! When they first met, Nova was hesitant to hop in the car with her. Now she jumps right in, ready to spend the day together and hang out with her new friends. I'm sure she is already looking forward to her next visit. :)”
“Hy and Arlo were amazing as usual! They took great care of our dog during fireworks, always concerned about his needs and are so flexible and accommodating when we had a flight delay. There’s a reason Clutch always come back happy and loved!”

“Robert and Brian truly loved up our pup Koda! We got lots of pictures of walks through parks and running and sweet belly rubs. They went out of their way on New Years Eve to help keep Koda comfortable and we’re so grateful for that. Koda was wonderfully sleepy when we picked her up so we could tell she had fun! Thanks so much Robert and Brian!”
“Leaving our pup Koda with Jeff and Beth always feels good. It’s our second time boarding with them and Koda seems to get so loved up and cared for by them and their sweet kids. We LOVE all of their updates and photos, they’re the best! And we were super grateful they were flexible to extend Koda’s stay one extra night. All in all such a good experience and I’m sure Koda is looking forward to going back! Thanks Jeff and Beth!”
“Damian was amazing! He really enjoyed his time with Nandor and Nandor definitely had a great time as well. He was very responsive and sent us a lot of pictures and updates throughout the stay. Thank you again!”
“Fuliang took great care of my old girl, even though it was on very short notice. He was very flexible with drop off and pick up times as well, which was super helpful.”
