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!”

About: *I only board pets from one home at a time and do not own any pets myself!* 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!

About: I've been pet sitting/babysitting/house sitting since I was young. I am very reliable and have no problem communicating any problems that arise or questions I may have. I have experience in family/house management as well. Let me know if you have any questions! I look forward to hearing from you! My fiancee and I just moved to the area, so I have lots of free time and availability to give each pet the time they deserve. I am extremely reliable and am willing to work with any schedule and around when you would prefer your pets have attention and their needs taken care of. I understand how important pets are in someone's life and it's a serious responsibility.

About: As a dog owner myself, I understand that pets are family. Whether it's keeping up with an energetic puppy, providing patience and comfort for a senior dog, or sticking to your pet's routine, I make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for. I'm reliable, communicative, and committed to giving pet parents peace of mind while they're away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, especially during the summer. As an Athletic Director on summer break, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, check-ins, or simply providing companionship, I can be available throughout the day to ensure your pet receives the care, exercise, and attention they deserve. I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment for every pet. In a client's home, I follow their pet's normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and plenty of attention and affection. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a clean, pet-friendly space with regular exercise, supervision, and opportunities for play and relaxation. My goal is to make pets feel secure, loved, and well cared for while giving owners peace of mind through reliable communication and updates.

“Christine was amazing. My cats loved her and my older cat takes a while to warm up to new people. She was out and playing on the first night Christine watched her.”

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.

About: Erik and I love animals in general but we absolutely love our Dogs and cats! We consistently care for my family Dog named Mookie! Who spends her full time with my Dads family but we care for her as well. We love taking her on adventurous walks,frequent potty breaks whilst sticking to her feeding schedule, and supplement / medication routines. She also loves to join us for car rides as well! Weekly scheduling is possible! We’d love to have consistent clients and build dependable wholesome connections. As our schedule opens up, we will update our availability as well! Whether in our own space or in a clients home we ensure that the pets are getting their needs met by sticking to their routines, offering them comfort through snuggles and play! Or giving them space if they are shy or like to be in their own areas but we continue to keep and eye on them. As far as walks, we ensure that they stay safe on the roads, pay attention to how they are around other animals and also allowing them to take their time.

About: I have had dogs since I was a little kid and always loved training and caring for them. I currently have a pug named Hank, a potty named Princess, and a chihuahua named Bambi. I have potty trained and leash trained multiple dogs. I love walking in the woods or on the beach and letting dogs be themselves. Allowing them to be free to express themselves and have fun letting their energy out while still being safe. I currently work as a hairstylist and am generally available 3 days a week to walk your dogs! I live in downtown Oakland and am open to commuting a bit if need be :) I have a very friendly pug named Hank who will accompany us on walks if your dog allows for buddies. If your dog likes running, I love to run and would love to bring your dog on my runs if they would enjoy that as well!

“Jennifer was such a thorough and thoughtful pet sitter for my cat Cece. Cece is notoriously slow to warm up to people and kind of anxious, but did warm up to Jennifer in about 4-5 days. 🤗 it was such a relief to have Jennifer feeding her and taking care of her daily.”

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 grown up with multiple dogs and am now happy to have my own little corgi-terrier named Karl and a black cat named Billie. I'm my friend's go-to pet sitter and have been loving getting to know the other dogs in the neighborhood. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, large dogs, and reactive dogs. I am available in the evenings on week days and anytime weekends. Please do not book recurring walks if they need to occur earlier on weekdays. I also work as a para educator, so my schedule is flexible, but I will be unavailable for up to 9 hours at a time. Pet care and safety is very important to me. My own dog has very high needs and requires a lot of attention and care, especially on walks, so I completely understand all the peculiar needs of all pets and their individual personalities.

“Emilia-Laura did a great job through and through! She communicated really well before and during the sit, and got along great with my cat. My kitty is pretty shy but from the meet and greet I could already tell they were vibing :) I came back from my trip to a happy cat and house in order! Thanks again Emilia-Laura!”

About: Peace of mind, clear communication, and absolute reliability for your pets. As a lifelong animal lover with over 40 years of pet care experience, I offer mature, accountable, and dependable care focused on neighborhood dog walks and drop-in visits throughout Oakland. My background in structured animal handling began decades ago in Norway, where I trained my first working dog alongside handlers from the Air Force Dog School long before positive reinforcement became the industry standard. Whether your dog needs a calming mid-day outdoor break or your pets need attentive drop-in feeding, my priority is keeping them happy, safe, and comfortable in their familiar environment. What sets my care apart: • Mature & Accountable: Punctual, highly responsible, and strictly respectful of your home, privacy, and care routines. Perfect for professionals wanting flawless communication. • Calming, Specialized Approach: Patient, positive reinforcement handling specifically tailored to adult dogs, shy pets, or gentle seniors who thrive on a steady, reassuring routine. • Advanced Pet Care: Fully experienced in administering oral medications and managing complex senior care schedules. • Local Oakland Focus: Dedicated entirely to Ivy Hill, Lake Merritt, Grand Lake, and immediate surrounding neighborhoods. (Please note: For walks and drop-in visits, I focus primarily on adult and senior pets to ensure the highest quality of focused, low-stress care. I look forward to meeting you and your pet for a free initial Meet & Greet!) As an independent professional, my schedule offers generous flexibility for pet care throughout the day and evening. I am readily available for morning, mid-day, afternoon, and evening neighborhood walks, as well as flexible drop-in visits for feeding, walks, and evening companionship. My open schedule allows me to dedicate my full, focused attention to your pet’s routine without feeling rushed. Safety and trust are my absolute highest priorities when caring for your pets and respecting your home. During neighborhood walks, I use secure leashes, maintain active situational awareness, and keep a calm, positive demeanor tailored to your dog’s comfort. For in-home drop-in visits, I follow your exact feeding, care, and home security instructions to ensure your pets feel completely safe and secure in their familiar environment.

“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!”

“Sandee was great! She was very communicative and interactive with our 2 cats while we were away for the week! We felt confident with Sandee that our cats were in good hands and would definitely recommend her! Thank you!”

“This is my first time booking Rover for my 2 kitties and I’m so glad to have gone with Nandini! She’s been super accommodating with my last minute booking and also very caring and sweet to my babies. It didn’t take them long to open up at all ☺️ she’s very reliable and also shared the cutest check-in photos of them. I’d definitely book with her again when I’m out of town!”

About: Working for Rover has opened me to new experiences like for example working with pets with disabilities and very shy pets. I have been able to win over some tough pets and it’s always rewarding for me to win their trust and make my human clients happy. I am very respectful to the fact that I am coming into your space and am very respectful of any and all house rules you instruct me follow. I am currently not able to bring any pets home with me, but I like making your pets feel comfortable by sitting them in their own space. Even when working full time, I will always ensure your pets are getting what they need from me. Whether its an urban hike, or the going the beach, I always have as much time as your pets need. I would like to keep all future dog walks to Tues/Thurs but am flexible if needed. Just message me and we can work something out. I have a lot of experience in watching dogs in your own home and being an dog owner I understand the need to wanting to keep your pets safe at home.

“Caitlin was great! My cats were happy and very soft when I came back from my trip, and she even cleaned up a small mess they made which was not necessary. Thank you so much!!”

Tiffany N.

“Jeri is great, very easy to work with. Appreciated the after-visit pictures and notes after every visit, was looking forward everyday. My skittish orange cat immediately warmed up to Jeri, making us fell at ease when you’re traveling abroad. Would recommend Jeri to any pet parents for sitting!❤️”
