Cat Sitters in Mcclymonds, Oakland

We have been working with tanitsha at No Bark Zone since we got our senior dog, Lucky, from the shelter two years ago. We worked with NBZ for intensive training when we first got him, and we still utilize their beach day walks, grooming, drop-in and boarding services. Lucky is a super sweet big dog who is quite reactive to certain triggers including having guests in the house, having others handle him including walking him, getting his nails trimmed, and being left with others without us there. Tanitsha is incredible with him. She has built a strong trusting bond and she can absolutely handle his anxiety and reactions without fear, which keeps him calm. She is the reason we can have a normal life with him! Highly recommend for anyone with a dog that struggles with anxiety, guarding, trauma, or otherwise can’t leave their dog with just anyone when you go out of town or need a dog sitter. She is an excellent trainer and gave us the tools to help him come out of his shell and be less anxious, and we are so grateful we have someone we trust we can leave him with and know that he will have a great time.

For 2 years No Bark Zone has been such a friendly, reliable, communicative, professional, and trustworthy provider of care for our 2 dogs. The peace of mind I have knowing that my “babies” are safe in their care while I’m at work or out of town is such a huge gift and I’m so grateful! I highly recommend their services.

Our entire family loves Aaron and Tanitsha, and we are so grateful for the kindness and care they show our, ahem, excitable labradoodle. Buster is always so excited to see them and he comes back from his walks tired and content. We love No Bark Zone and would recommend their services to any of our friends with dogs.

Aaron is highly personable, professional, and responsive. I’m so grateful to have his dog walking services for our dog while we are away at work. I highly recommend booking Aaron and entrusting your dogs with him!

Fantastic experience with their grooming service! The owners are incredibly kind and accommodating, plus Nova has never looked better! I will definitely be returning again soon :)

Aaron is so kind, professional, reliable, and a great communicator. Our dog gets so excited for her walks with him and the No Bark Zone crew every day (seriously, when she knows he’s coming, she does a happy dance and spins around—she does not do that for me, ha!) We feel so fortunate to have found such an amazing person to take our pooch on walks and adventures. We highly recommend No Bark Zone!

Moose, center, loves his No Bark Zone adventures. He comes home a tired and happy boy! Thanks for taking great care of my pup! 🐶🫶🏻 …

Aaron is a godsend! I adopted my wonderful big 10-yo pittie, Benson, last year. For the past year, we've been going at it HARDT on our Tues/Thursday daycare commutes. Up at 5 am; catch the train at 6; walk through Mandela Pkway at 6.30 am; drop off Benson at daycare at 7. Do it again in the opposite direction at the end of the day. We are both worn out. I met Aaron randomly and told him that dog owners without cars needing transport for stuff. I mean, yeah, Lyft *says* they take dogs, but dogs with a big head and reputations like mine...well, pits make folks nervous. Aaron said, We do that! I signed up as soon as I could. Aaron met Benson, took us on a test drive, and I have support as a Dog Mama! And now Benson and I aren't killing ourselves and wearing down our middle aged joints to get to daycare at the crack of dawn. My dog loves being in cars and now we're doing it safely and efficiently. I am SO GRATEFUL for Aaron and the No Bark Zone!

Skillful, responsive, kind and professional. Our dog loves his bi-weekly visits and overnight boarding!

Great place for our dogs. well respected and trusted business!

I’ve been taking Wolfie to JustPetMe since early this year, and he absolutely loves it. He gets so excited every time we pass by or stop in, especially when he sees the friendly staff (he’s especially fond of the blonde lady!sorry I don’t know her name). JustPetMe may not have extras like webcams or 24/7 drop-off, but the care they provide is exceptional. Wolfie always comes home happy and tired from all the playtime. I recently tried a more convenient place after relocating, but his reaction to JustPetMe is completely different. I’ll definitely be bringing him back for longer stays. Highly recommend—just visit, and you’ll see why!

I’ve enjoyed bringing my pup here for the last few years. Whether a long daycare day, or boarding when I’m out of town, I have trusted the care provided to my pup. My experience this past weekend though will ensure I never bring Goldie back here. I planned to leave her for the day and later decided overnight due to an emergency that arose for me. I hadn’t dropped off food though and couldn’t get back by closing to drop off. I spoke twice communicating with the staff member(blonde woman w/ European accent) about the issue. She offered “house kibble” which I declined knowing my pups sensitive stomach issues. I asked if I could have Instacart deliver my pups special food and was told no, and then had my best friend come to pick her up and unfortunately they got there 4mins after closing and again told no. I was still understanding and willing to give the benefit of the doubt, nor did I fault their level of inflexibility on these 2 options. I told her that my child would only at this point miss 2 cups of food for the day, that she would be fine not eating, and that I’d be there right at opening to drop it off. Despite being told not to give their house kibble this woman took it upon herself to decide what was best for my child and fed her the kibble anyway. I am livid that my pup is now experiencing diarrhea and discomfort all because this woman thought she knew better how to care for my pup than I have for her last 4 years of her life. I’m praying these GI issues will resolve without a trip to our vet. We won’t be back!

I was a fan of this place however recently there have been issues: lack of communication, billing issues, cleanliness (the lobby reeks horribly of urine). Finally, my dog has been sick since her last visit. At this point, the cause is unknown but she was fine before she was dropped off at daycare. Through a televisit with a veterinarian, the initial diagnosis is that she may have picked up a respiratory infection from another animal at the daycare as that was her only exposure to other dogs. Hopefully they will do better.

Me and my girl love Just Pet Me! Very reasonable price for the monthly daycare. The people there are great and Misty always came home wagging her tail. Easy drop off and pick up and I feel like the people that work there really knew and loved my pup.

They removed my previous review…. Our dog came home bleeding from his genitals. When we asked about it they told us “it’s probably from all the poop he was eating.” What???? Isn’t that your job to stop that??? Luckily our bank disputed the charge and we got the money back from these fools to cover the very expensive vet bills. Although they of course told us we were “just trying to get out of paying.” Which they were right! We do not want to pay for their inability to care for animals. Save yourself the trouble and go elsewhere!!!

They always take great care of Cypress, my 12yr old GSD. Been taking her here for years. ❤️

My pup loves this place. I am pretty sure she would rather live at Just Pet Me than with me. When I stop to drop her off, she gets absolutely nuts because she is so excited to be at Just Pet Me. Then when I pick her up and put her in the car, she longingly says goodbye to the staff when I drive away. The whole staff is very caring and they work so hard to make sure our pups are well taken care of.

I’m furious and hurt that this place had my puppy Yorkie in a dark room by himself. As I’m giving you all heads up to Not trust this place . As the 2 girls that work there would Drag my small puppy in and the other girl with the strong accent put my puppy in the dark room with No light rhe WHOLE DAY because my puppy did not know how to play with the dogs because he was all to himself. Why would they do this to my puppy BECAUSE HE STAYED TO HIMSELF . No Excuses at all . NO EXCUSE AT ALL as I was wondering why my pup was not himself all wk the last time I left him

I never have to worry with Just Pet Me. I needed a daycare that my pup would love and that would be available. Just Pet Me is just that. They are open every single day for drop off. If I have to work late, I do not have to worry about rushing home because when I get there at night Alina will always say "I fed him dinner for you." If I work on the weekends or have a project, I can drop him off and Tiffany will make sure he has fun all day. Check the Instagram page. My pup loves Brenda so much that he scratches at the door to get in. And if I have a big project or have to go out of town, I just board him overnight. Since he goes to daycare there, he is always right at home. The unlimited daycare package is very reasonable. The owner, Julie, is amazing. Why leave my dog at home when he can be playing outside all day with a bunch of dogs, eating, and running around. I have never seen a dog dropped off that was scared or afraid to go in. That is the one things that stood out to me. EVERY dog is excited to get dropped off. Amazing staff and will rid you of any worry about your fur baby so you can focus on work while you are away for the day.

The entire staff is so kind and welcoming! I tried another daycare and my dog didn’t take to it, but he has been happy since day 1 at Just Pet Me. I could never meet the needs of my very social and active dog without this wonderful place!

Jeremy managed to get us set up with a great dog walker at very short notice. We are working with Eric--he's gregarious and clearly into dogs and his job. We interviewed him with our dog and were immediately at ease. We have an ever changing schedule and Jeremy and Eric have been able to accommodate that with no problems. THANK YOU Red Rover!

Our dog has been getting walks from Red Rover for almost 4 years. We have also boarded her with them. We couldn't be happier with their services and customer service. Riley loves her walks and comes back a happy and tired dog. I really don't know how we would function without them.

We love Red Rover! Jeremy has always been amazing with our dogs and has really put my mind at ease as a worried dog mama whenever we’ve gone out of town. If I could rate more than five stars, I would!

Red rover has been taking our dogs on adventures for over 5 years. Jeremy and his team are great. We highly recommend their services. Lance and Laurie Page

I’m so glad to have found trustworthy, honest, friendly & truly caring walkers to take care of Ned. As a first-time rescue owner, Ned was adopted and lived with two other dogs for two years. I recently moved to the area on my own with this sweet dog and as an anxious dog parent, I do worry about him without his dog mates. Dave is amazing with Ned and goes beyond his dog walking service. Once on a very hot day in Oakland, Dave ensured Ned did not overheat and turned on the fan for him. Including checking on his water bowl. This was not our first dog walker - I had a few before who did not have the same level of professionalism and general care for my Ned. I am so grateful for Jeremy and Dave.

We really appreciate the dog walking services of Red Rover! Our dog receives twice weekly walks rain or shine and he loves it! Thanks for the great care and service Red Rover!

I've been a client for many years and the Red Rover team is part of our family. Service is excellent and I trust them to love and care for my dog as if it were their own.

We go to work knowing our little apartment dwelling dog is kept safe and stimulated with Red Rover! Shim loves his trail adventures. :)

I love Red Rover! My dogs are always happy and my cats are taken care of consistently and well.

Red Rover is fantastic. They love dogs and dogs love them! Reasonable rates and reliable walks and boarding

For over a decade, I've been using Vanessa Farmer as my animal care provider when I'm unable to be with them. Our family, over the years, have hired her to take care of our dogs, cats, snake and hamsters. Whether it be by day or even over nights, I can put all my trust in her, knowing my pets will have the highest care, delivered with love. To whomever may concern: Nick and Vanessa Farmer are friendly, caring, knowledgeable, reliable, trustworthy, loyal and the perfect care providers for you pets. Most sincerely Shmupi

The Farmers Pet Care team did a great job in-house dog sitting our two pups while we were overseas for a week. Communication leading up to the trip was smooth and easy; they provided regular updates and pictures while we were away; accommodated the special quirks and needs of our dogs and left the house in great shape. It's clear the dogs were happy and comfortable with them both and their genuine love for what they do came through in every interaction. Was great to have that sense of comfort and security, and knowing our dogs were being spoiled, while we were so far away. Will definitely book them again!

I am so glad I found Vanessa and Nick! I know have the piece of mind that our pets are in good hands while we are at work, AND they are super happy when I get home. Highly recommend! We needed someone to come let our dogs out on workdays, and using the apps was becoming really stressful- new people all the time, not providing any piece of mind. Our first week with the Farmers Pet has been a total change to that. We KNOW they have it covered… sounds so simple but it’s really amazing. 10 stars.

Loving Dog Care- Vanessa and Nick have taken care of our two poodle mix girls several times. Meeting them and their tiny “Radar” chihuahua doggie assured us of their love for dogs . They stayed at our home while we were gone for 10 days. Sweet photos of the girls along with updates kept us free of concern. We came home to happy girls but also thoughtful care of our home. Sheets washed, dishwasher run, house in order and we’ll cared for . We highly recommend them .

Molly and her team are wonderful, reliable, and experienced. Not only did my pup have a great time, but I got daily updates with tons of pictures. The Doggie Llama team does boarding, training, and dog walking right. When your pet is left with them you can rest assured that your pet is receiving quality care tailored to their needs and comfort. Their science-based approach to training and care sets them apart from the industry standard and sets my mind at ease knowing that my pet is receiving the highest quality of care.

EDIT: We are coming up on our five year anniversary being with Doggy Lama! Wow time has flown. We do have two new walkers that tag team, Joe (who is our primary walker) and Vero (who provides backup), but all the previous statements in my review are still valid. Joe and Vero are always communicative, respectful, and Warren can't wait to go on adventures with him and his pack. You can tell how much they each love and appreciate their dogs. ---- Our boy Warren, a border collie mix, LOVES his time with Kristen & Michael's packs. They're some of the most exceptional and trustworthy dog walkers we've had. Warren will wait up by the window for Kristen or Michael to come every morning - tail waggin a million miles an hour and whimpering from excitement. It makes me happy to see Warren get to play out on the trails, learn new skills, and socialize with his pals every day. Finding a trustworthy and professional dog walker is not easy. But Molly runs a tight ship, and the team she leads at Doggy Lama shows just how much she cares for and loves animals. If you're looking for pet care that exceeds the standard - I'd highly recommend you reach out to Doggy Lama.

Vanessa is pure gold. She has been walking my sweet husky-pit mix Margaux since she was a year old and forged an incredible bond not only with my pup, but with our whole family. Vanessa comes with heart, soul & leash - in that order. Vanessa adores her canine charges and they feel it. She is also a gifted photographer and I look forward to her pix every time Margaux goes out with her. She has my complete trust and gratitude. Margaux agrees!

I have worked with many dog walkers, dog trainers, and pet care professionals in the past. Doggy Lama Pet Care is a business with a different set of principles. They put positive reinforcement and employee training before profits and scale. A dog's physical and emotional health will always be Doggy Lama Pet Care's top priority. I was fortunate to work with the owner Molly and her dedicated team of employees. Every member of the staff was an absolute professional. I found the team to be incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about dogs. I have two rescue dogs that have their own cute little complexities. I am incredibly confident that any member of Doggy Lama Pet Care's team could properly care for my dogs and exceed my own expectations. I would highly recommend them for both private dog walking and group dog walking services. The team is especially qualified even if you have rescue dogs with complicated or unknown backgrounds.

Doggy Lama is my vote for the best small business in the Bay Area. This is not hyperbole! They are reliable, transparent, informative, and caring. We feel so comfortable with them, and often lean on their guidance and advice for taking care of our dog Rory. Our walker Jeysi feels like a member of the family. Every weekday she reliably arrives at our home, Rory runs to greet her, and off they goes with a pack of 5-7 dogs on a beautiful East Bay trail. A few hours later Rory comes home happy and tired. And then Jeysi sends us a written summary along with beautiful photos and videos from the day. It seems like such a fun pack. We're so, so grateful for Jeysi. Attaching just one pic here. But I have about 8,000,000 others that are equally frame worthy!

I absolutely love Doggy Lama Pet Care!. My dog walker, Sophie, is the best!. Always let's me know when she is arriving and coming home with my 🐶, Grace. Sends pictures of her hiking adventures. 100% Great Review! …

Molly and her team at Doggy Lama are the best! Our dog Toby always returns from his off-leash walks with Jordan having had lots of fun with his pack buds and tuckered out. It’s been a huge relief to know Toby is getting the exercise and stimulation he needs, especially during the work week when we can’t provide that for him to this level. This team is also amazing at communication, from day-of logistics to general awareness of seasonal considerations on the trail.

My dog loves Doggy Lama! She cannot wait for them to pick her up and is always exhausted and happy when they bring her home. She has totally bonded with Vanessa and Merrigold. I appreciate their communication and professionalism. and the photos.

Everyone at Doggy Lama has been so good to my pup, Rosie, since I adopted her over a year ago. Rosie has arthritis so Dorothy takes her to the park to sniff about at her own pace or just lay in the sun. It's clear that she loves her time with Dorothy because she always comes home with a huge smile on her face! Kendrae is super communicative and responsive around scheduling, too. Highly recommended!!

Kasper and I we both LOVE Doggy Lama; obviously for different reasons - Kasper loves the walks, treats and keeping his brain working while practicing recall on every walk. I love it that the Doggy Lama team is super reliable and feels like extended family. After I broke my foot they were able to immediately schedule Kasper for walks every day so I was able to rest. Thank you Team!

Kaity and Tim have dropped in on our cats many times. They were able to keep up with a 15 pill a day medication regimen that one of my cats needed. They’re thorough and communicative.

Kaity and Tim have been watching my cats for years. They're thoughtful, reliable, and great communicators. Not to mention they love animals, my cats are always so well taken care of when I get home. They've even been kind enough to water my plants when I'm gone for a long time! I'd recommend fuzzy britches to anyone needing a pet sitter.

Hired them to feed my pet twice a day. Paid for each visit. Told them I had a camera. Camera showed they only came once a day. Not trustworthy people.
