1. Christine L.
“Christine was absolutely amazing with my very shy/anxious dog. She was patient and gentle with her during the first meeting, and she was available last minute. Definitely recommend!”
2. Sophie C.
“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!”
3. Cristina E.
“Cristina was a perfect match for my dog "Zowie." Cristina was flexible with her time, friendly, energetic and responsible. The "selfie" pictures of her and Zowie on their walks were great and reassuring. I don't often need a walker for my dog but, when I'm in that situation again, I will definitely book with Cristina and would refer her to anyone in need of a dog walker.”
4. Fuliang X.
“Fulinag was amazing with our senior Golden Retriever, Daisy! He has arthritis and needs extra attention, but he made him feel right at home. He sent us daily updates with photos and made sure he took all his medications on schedule. The enclosed yard was perfect for his gentle exercise needs. We're so grateful to have found such a caring and professional sitter.”
5. Tiffany & Lauren B.
“Tiffany and Lauren are absolutely wonderful caregivers to our pets. They have done both in-home care/housesitting as well as hosted our animals at their house - two pit mixes and two cats. I know that L&T will absolutely shower them with love and send us updates throughout the stay (including very sweet photos). They have cared for our animals at different life stages and are happy to adjust to the animal's specific needs, whether it is taking an energetic pup on a long walk or accommodating any physical limitations, including caring for our dog with significant mobility challenges. Their dog, Guapa, has always gotten along well with our dogs, and their cats are very comfortable around a variety of dogs since they have also hosted foster dogs in addition to petsitting. I feel very confident in the care that Tiffany and Lauren provide for our animals!”
6. Charlii C.
“Charlii is not only a wonderful and reliable person, but she's great with animals as well. Which makes her even better as a human overall. I, on several occasions, have seen her interact with my friend's black lab, Dakota. Dakota is the largest and strongest black lab I've ever come across and he can be a lot to handle. Yet, I've watched Charlii handle him with such grace. It's obvious that she's created a bond with Dakota, which has a direct positive affect on Dakota's behavior. I would recommend Charlii to any of my friends and family, were a dog caregiver needed.”
7. Veera Y.
“Veera was wonderful! Highly communicative, sweet, and respectful to a tee. Loved having her care for Belle!”
8. Sofia D.
About: I've cared for many pets (from 4 month puppies to 14 yr old cats). I love taking dogs on walks and talking to them like they're human babies 😆 Cats tend to love me because I know when they want attention and when they just want to be left alone. I have a flexible work schedule, so I'm available whenever you need me! I live and work in Downtown Oakland, so anywhere walking or biking distance from here is perfect. I like going on walks, so I'm happy to have a companion to share one with :) I'm very patient and loving! I will make sure your pet has everything it needs to make sure they're not missing you too much 😊
9. Andrea D.
“Andrea was great with our dog Java! We needed a last minute walk and Andrea was very flexible in accommodating us. We will definitely have her back !”
10. Jonathan & Chiel R.
“Jonathan and Chiel were awesome! Super respectful, prompt, and communicative. My dog loved them and they were so good with her. They took some great photos on their walk and I was relieved knowing she was in great hands while I was out of town on a trip. 100% recommend.”
11. Artemis L.
“Artemis is great! We've used her to walk/dog sit for the past few months and have been very happy with her. She's very reliable, always on time, and loves our dog as much as we do. We've felt comfortable leaving him in her trustworthy hands”
12. Sarah D.
“Sarah took care of our dog, Domino for several years. The dog was a Springer Spaniel and incredibly energetic and high strung. Sarah was responsible and caring but firm when needed. We would recommend her to anyone interested in a someone to take care of a beloved pet.”
13. Lauren H.
“Riley had such a great time with Lauren! She did a great job with her, making sure she got her exercise and had a fun time. Lauren’s updates and photos are thorough and descriptive. She is easy to communicate with and very responsive. I look forward to having Lauren care for Riley again in the future!”
14. Ondrehya F.
“Ondreyha has become Murray's best friend. He loves her and she is soooo good with him. Couldn't be happier to have found Ondrehya and she's now part of the fam! Murray now requires a min of monthly play dates with his bestie.”
15. Yeva M.
“I’ve known Yeva for more than a decade. She is very kind to animals and she’s an awesome dog mom. She adopted her dog Willow after her previous parents surrendered her to the shelter. Willow had behavioral issues and she would bark on people and other dogs. Yeva insisted on keeping her and she devoted herself to training her and finishing her socialization. She had a lot of progress and is much more well behaved and friendly know thanks to the work Yeva put into her. If I were a dog person, I’d trust my dog to Yeva without a doubt.”
