Pet Sitting Waverly

“I have an anxious pup and Tiffany did great taking care of all his needs during a drop in visit. He usually doesn't like most people but warmed up to her quickly. Recommend reaching out to her if you also have an anxious dog!”

“My first time having a pet sitter and Christina was excellent. My dog normally isnt very friendly but he seems to totally trust Christina by the time I got back. I'd 100% rebook for the next time. Thanks Christina.”

About: Hi everyone, I work in mental/behavioral health and am saving up for graduate school! I am very passionate about animals, especially dogs and cats. I moved to California from the Netherlands a few years ago. I am looking for new pet sitting clients in the East Bay or San Francisco. I can do overnight pet sitting as well as walks or visits during the day. I also live right by Lake Merritt so if you live nearby, I’d love to take your dog on walks around the lake. A full loop around the lake takes about 1 hour and 15 minutes (a little over 3 miles). I can pick up and drop off your dog at your house. I have several years experience in cat sitting as well as several years dog sitting and dog walking (middle-aged Labrador, middle-aged German Shepard mix, and puppy Border Collie). I work swing shift (roughly from 3-11pm) on Sunday-Thursday. So, I’m available for drop-in visits or walks during the morning/early afternoon. On Fridays and Saturdays, I might have availability but sometimes I have plans. Please just reach out to check if I’m available on those days! I can’t have pets at my apartment but at clients’ homes, we can play with toys, or we can walk around the neighborhood or to a nearby park. I like to know a little bit about them before I care for them so that I can try to make them feel comfortable being around me.

“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.”

About: I grew up with all kinds of family pets-cats, dogs, horses-and got the real crash course in pet parent responsibility when I adopted my own puppy at 17. Since moving to Oakland 10 years ago, I’ve been lucky to live with several cats and dogs of roommates of all dispositions (both the roommates and their pets) and now my fiancée and I have a perfect baby angel cat son. Sadly, my lease does not allow dogs, but I spent the last six years working at a brewery-which meant getting to spend time with lots of dog regulars. Since taking a break from the industry I have to get my four-legged fix somewhere! Big, dopey floofs and sweet Pitties speak to my heart the most, but I'm charmed by all breeds, especially the lil scrappy guys. Having wrestled kegs for many years, I am physically capable of managing most large breed dogs. I’m comfortable with puppies and I don’t mind them being mouthy or jumpy and am happy to discourage unwanted behaviors according to their training. I’ve got a soft spot for seniors, having had experience with palliative care for two beloved senior dogs that required extra care and physical assistance. I am happy to show your old buddy patience and TLC. I’m currently on a long break from full time work and have open week day availability for walks and visits, and can be available weekends with extended notice I have a keen attention to detail and an above average ability to follow instructions, and I’m happy to do things your way. Knowing it can be a source of worry to have a sitter in your personal space, I take extra care to treat not only pets but folks' homes the way I would want mine to be treated and cared for. My general rule of thumb is "how would I want someone to treat my dog?" and "what if their mom/dad was watching us right now?!" with pet-safety as my number one priority. On walks I am vigilant in keeping an eye out for off leash dogs, careless drivers and general hazards. I carry water and stick to the shady side of the streets to keep everyone cool and comfortable, and have pepper spray on my walking pack as an additional safety measure for both myself and your pet. Understanding every dog is unique, my default is to practice loose leash walking techniques, avoid yanking collars/harnesses and give lots of verbal affirmations and encouragement to employ corrective actions.

About: I’ve taken care of family’s and friends’ pets anywhere from puppies to older dogs, and also larger dogs like huskies. I respect every household’s rules for caring for their pets, and ensure the pets are safe, healthy, and happy! Currently at home full-time, so very flexible and open to caring for your pets when you need a break or have travel / social engagements! I can keep a crate in my home and live right on Lake Merritt with a large grass pasture just across the street by the lake where I would take dogs to. Walking around the lake/grass is a fan favorite!

About: I have over 15 years of experience caring for both cats and dogs. Since childhood, I’ve been surrounded by pets and learned to understand their body language and unique needs. At 25, I adopted and personally trained my own dog, who grew into a smart, well-behaved companion. I also fostered many cats and dogs and volunteered in animal shelters. Now in the U.S., I adopted two rescue cats who are thriving with me. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me for years to walk, feed, bathe, and comfort their pets. Whether your furry friend is playful, shy, senior, or full of energy, I provide loving, safe, and attentive care as if they were my own. Pet care is my full-time focus right now, so I’m available around the clock — mornings, evenings, weekends, and overnight. I don’t have a separate job pulling me away, which means my day is built entirely around your pet’s routine: walks, feeding, medication, playtime, and steady company. Last-minute bookings and longer visits are rarely a problem for me. With many years of experience caring for both cats and dogs, I understand how important it is to follow your instructions exactly and to make your pet feel safe and happy. Friends often trust me to foster their pets, and I always make sure they feel loved, played with, walked, and even lightly trained if needed. Whether I’m in your home or welcoming your pet into mine, you can be sure I’ll provide the same level of care, attention, and affection as I do for my own two rescue cats. Your pet’s comfort and well-being will always be my top priority.

About: I provide calm, attentive care with a focus on routine and safety. I understand that every dog is different, and I aim to keep their environment steady and comfortable while you’re away. I enjoy taking dogs on regular walks and occasional hikes, giving them time to explore while keeping things structured and safe. I adjust to each dog’s energy level, whether they prefer an active outing or a more relaxed pace. I’m organized, communicative, and reliable, and I take pride in making pet parents feel comfortable and informed. You can expect clear updates, thoughtful communication, and plenty of photos so you can feel at ease while your dog is in my care.

“Lia is the best! She takes such good care of my dog and always goes above and beyond. You can tell she really loves what she does, my pup is always so happy to see her. She gives great updates and sends the cutest pics too. Would recommend her to anyone!”

About: With over ten years of hands-on experience caring for my own anxious, grumpy little dog, I’ve developed a deep well of patience, empathy, and skill—especially with pets who need a little extra understanding. I specialize in building trust with animals who are nervous, particular, or slow to warm up, and I truly enjoy earning their affection on their terms. I have experience with senior care, including administering medications, monitoring health changes, and maintaining comfortable routines. I’m also confident with training puppies and reinforcing positive behaviors, especially for dogs who need consistency and calm energy. Whether it's a clingy cat who needs companionship or a temperamental pup who prefers personal space, I tailor my care to fit each animal’s emotional and physical needs. I’m not just here to walk or feed—I’m here to make your pet feel safe, understood, and loved while you're away. Pet care is a meaningful and fulfilling part of my weekly rhythm. Whether it’s a quick visit for a shy cat, a weekend walk for your grumpy pup, or a cozy check-in while you're away, I’m happy to work around your schedule to give your pets the reliable, thoughtful care they deserve. I believe pets feel safest and happiest in their own space, so I focus on providing calm, attentive care right in your home—where they’re most comfortable. I follow your instructions closely to maintain their normal routines, whether that means specific feeding times, medication schedules, walk preferences, or favorite hiding spots for shy cats. For drop-ins and walks, I make sure your pet gets both physical exercise and emotional attention—whether that’s playtime, gentle companionship, or simply a peaceful presence. I always keep the home tidy, respect your space, and provide updates with photos so you can feel confident that your pets are in good hands. I don’t offer care in my own home, but I’m fully committed to making your home feel like a safe, calm haven while you’re away.

About: I've been working with dogs of a variety of ages and breeds to add to my income, providing house sitting and dogwalking. I'm happy to help with routine duties and can discuss your pet's needs. I have a part-time remote schedule and am interested in discussing drop-ins or walks from 10-2 on weekdays. I can rearrange work to provide flexible support on request. I can provide drop-ins or walks, according to client instructions. I am not providing care in my own home currently, but I can travel to clients.

About: I’ve been dog sitting for 10 years, and it all started when I ran my own dog walking and day care service as a kid. We even made shirts and everything! Now my husband and I sit together as a team, so your pup gets double the attention, cuddles, and playtime for the price of one. We both work from home, so there’s always someone around to hang out with your dog amd give them the attention they need :) We both work from home, so our schedule is open and flexible! We have a cattle dog mix at home, so rest assured your pup is in good hands and will have a lovely time at our casa. With two of us around, there’s always someone available to play, cuddle, and keep an eye on your pup. We treat every pet like family and want them to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. We follow your care instructions closely, respect your home, and make sure your pet’s routine, safety, and needs always come first. With two sitters, your pet gets double the attention and there’s always a second set of eyes. We’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel at ease knowing your furry friend is in good hands!

“Cleo was awesome! She was on time and communicated very well. She sent photos everyday during her drop in visits. Will definitely be hiring her in the future. Thank you, Cleo!”

“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!! ❤️❤️❤️”

About: I’ve been around all kinds of animals from a very young age. I learned about responsibility by being in charge of taking care of them or babysitting friends/family members’ pets! As a pet parent myself, I always have time to care for my cat. I also am a college student and I’ll be on break until mid January, so I will be completely free to care for your animal at any time! Normally I heavily rely on the specifics of what the owner(s) ask of me for their pet, since they know what’s best. I’m good with crates, medicine, or really anything. I’ve done it all!!

“Vaneesha was great with Sky! We did a meet-and-greet and I asked her to come by 2x a day. I felt a lot less guilty leaving for my trip with the photos she sent me and the time she spent with Sky. She was also flexible and quick to respond when my trip got extended. Thank you Vaneesha! 🙏”
