Pet Sitting West Oakland

About: Since I was in elementary school, neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to look in on their animals while they worked long hours or went out of town. I am a nurse working in the Pittsburgh area and have a flexible schedule that I would love to fill up with more furry friends. I have experience caring for birds and rodents as well! I am a nurse working with a flexible schedule and have a lot of room to fit in a walk with your dog or some play time with your cat! I have been watching friends and family's pets for years, I am very comfortable following their routine and will be detail oriented to your instructions. Your home and pet will be safe with me!

“Abriana was wonderful with Suki. She arrived on time, was very personable, and made me feel completely comfortable leaving Suki in her care. She uploaded photos, kept me updated, and handled everything perfectly. I’m so grateful and would definitely book with her again.”

“Tiffany was amazing! I was going away on an international trip, and had plans change where I was going longer than originally expected. I needed to find someone to drop in on Rocco on short notice, and Tiffany was able to set up a meet & greet very quickly! She was also very sweet & kind, and took great photos of Rocco while I was away :) I would definitely book again!”

About: Over the years, I have built a strong reputation as a trusted pet sitter for friends and neighbors, becoming the go-to person for reliable care whenever they travel. Whether managing daily feeding routines, providing energetic neighborhood walks, or simply offering companionship, I prioritize each dog's unique needs, personality, and safety above all else. Owners rely on me not only for my dependability and calm handling of diverse temperaments, but also for the peace of mind that comes from frequent, thoughtful photo and text updates. By maintaining their dogs' familiar comfort and structure while maintaining home security, I ensure pets remain happy and stress-free until their families return. I work full-time Monday through Friday from 7:00 AM to 3:30 PM, which gives me plenty of free time every afternoon and evening to walk, feed, and spend quality time with your dogs. I am also fully available on weekends for longer walks, play sessions, or extended visits. You can rest easy knowing your pets will get dedicated, reliable attention and exercise right when they need it most after the workday or throughout the weekend. When caring for pets, my primary goal is to maintain their regular routine, comfort, and safety whether they are staying at my home or I am visiting yours. In your home, I keep your pets completely at ease in their familiar environment by strictly following your feeding schedule, taking them on neighborhood walks, engaging in active play, and providing plenty of affection to prevent anxiety, while also keeping your home secure. In my own home, I offer a safe, calm, pet-proofed space where they are treated like family and provided with constant supervision outside of my 7:00 AM – 3:30 PM workday. Regardless of where the care takes place, I make sure to send regular text and photo updates so you always have total peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, well-exercised, and loved.

“Ryan was an excellent find! Pleasant, dependable, and responsive, he did a fantastic job of taking care of my three cats while we were away for almost two weeks. Not only did he take care of my boys, he also brought in all the packages that we received while we were gone. He will be my first call when I need a pet care from here on out. Thanks Ryan!!”

About: For the past 10 plus years, I have volunteered at a local animal shelter, where I care for dogs by walking and feeding them. I have been a lifelong dog owner, and I currently have two dogs: a dachshund and a medium-sized Labrador/Pit Bull mix. Spending time with dogs is something I enjoy, and caring for them is rewarding. Their companionship brings me a great deal of happiness. I am available during the day as well as in the evenings. Anytime after 5pm is perfect for me! I can do weekend mornings and days as well. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my dogs, especially playing with their favorite toys. We often play with a ball outside and enjoy relaxing together in the sunshine.

About: I’ve been working with a variety of dogs of all different breeds for roughly 6 years via dog walking, dog sitting, etc! I love dogs of all kinds! I’m a doctoral student of occupational therapy, so most of my time is spent working via fieldwork and doing homework. I am free on Tuesdays & Thursdays for drop ins/walks, and on weekends for housesitting. I’m happy to help with any household needs specified during housesitting! Please leave me comprehensive instructions for caring for your pet(s), including meal details/times, walking schedule, etc.

“Maria was readily available for a last minute booking and did an incredible job! We video called to show her the lay of the land and my girls just loved her!”

“Was extremely good with my pup and very communicative about the visit and everything during! Give excellent care and would absolutely book again!”

“Riley was amazing! Our dog is old, has movement issues, and needs medication. She was so great with him! She gave wonderful updates, consistently, about our dog and cat. She sent pictures daily and was super responsive! She was absolutely great to work with, easy to communicate with, and made our vacation so relaxing because we knew our pets were taken care of so well, while we were away! Highly recommend her!”

About: Although I’ve cared for only a few pets for about 5 months, the owners have consistently called me back, which I believe speaks to the trust and care I provide. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality and love the joy they bring. I am highly organized, detail-oriented, and committed to following regulations. If needed, I’m not afraid to ask for help to ensure your pet receives the best care possible. My goal is always to provide the highest level of care and attention to every pet I look after. As a graduate student, my schedule may be demanding, but I am still able to accommodate pet care around my studies. I am available to check in on your pet in the late afternoons or evenings during the weekdays, anytime on Saturdays, and early morning, afternoon, or evening on Sundays. I will do my best to keep my schedule flexible to meet your pet’s needs and ensure they receive the care and attention they deserve. While I may not have extensive experience caring for pets, I am genuinely a pet lover, and pets tend to respond well to me. I am highly reliable and dedicated to following your instructions to ensure the best care for your furry friend. You can trust me to keep your pet happy, safe, and well-cared for. I’ll do everything I can to provide a loving and secure environment for your pet.

About: As someone who has grown up with pets, I truly understand the deep bond and protective nature that pet owners have with their furry family members. I am confident in my ability to provide high-quality care and treat them as my own, with endless love and attention. I have owned Border Collies my whole life, meaning I have learned from a young age how to provide attention to the most high-energy, attention-needing pups. I am a very active person myself and love to take my pets on long walks, play fetch in local parks, go hiking in the mountains, and even play mental games at home. I can assure you that any pet, big or small, young or old, will find a new friend in me, and I will with them! I’m currently a college student across the country from home and my two dogs. I would love to spend my free time in the evenings and weekends to play, walk, or just keep company with your pets! I am currently living in an apartment downtown and am not able to have pets stay with me, but I am available to pet-sit at a client's home.

“I can’t talk her up enough!! She even helped care for my puppy after her spay. She takes care of my dog 3x a week and is dependable and very flexible.”

She was a happy lady evident in the photos shared :) We have already requested he take care of Bella again, thanks again Alex!”

“Jackie was helpful yet again and amazing with our doggos for a drop in. Prompt, attentive, and helpful and relayed information well. Much appreciated!”

“Abigayle was great doing drop in visits with our dog. He is normally anxious and takes a while to warm up to new people but it didn’t take long at all with Abigayle. She is very punctual and great with communication. Your pet will be well cared for.”

“Libby has been so great to my dog Fox! She always communicates if there’s any change to the schedule and I know Fox is super grateful to have her drop in and keep him company!”

“Disha was a great sitter for our two cats while we were out of town! Both of our girls warmed up to her quickly, even our shy cat. Would trust her with the care of our girls again next time we travel.”

About: I've had more than half a dozen cats and dogs each throughout my life. I've helped feed them, give them water, walk them, and try to give them the happiest lives possible. These pets have been my best friends, even more so than most people that I've met. I absolutely love animals and always make them my priority! I'm a student at the University of Pittsburgh looking for a part time job when I am home on break, and weekend and afternoon work when I am at school. I love pets and tend to have a lot of free time at home and on weekends! My pets are technically my parents', but I often walk them because I want to get them outside and it's fun for me. I also feed them and make sure they have water in their dishes. I usually take my dogs as far as they want to go, whether it's for just a block, or for a few miles. I love to snuggle up with my dogs more than anything!
