They were great at communicating throughout the trips, and even got our super timid kitty to hang out and play a bit. We also loved supporting a local small business, which they run very well and professionally.

They were also amazingly accommodating and understanding when I got a few dates mixed up, and were able to add a few visits in on really short notice, which was so appreciated given it was 100% my mistake. Highly recommend Fuzzy Britches! Thanks Kaity and Tim :)

Through Oakland Pet Care, we met Caitlin, who is an absolute angel, and loves Sasha, and all her dog friends so much. She takes incredible loving care of him on his evening walks. Because of Covid, our previous dog walker (who took a pack on hikes in the area), had to close. So of course I reached out to Delia of Oakland Pet Care! Even though Sasha needs a bit more TLC (esp in the beginning) than most dogs, they took us on, and it has been SO GREAT! Olivia is the pack dog-walker, and she is incredibly responsible, punctual, and loving with the dog packs! With her, I feel that my dog is very safe, having so much fun, and in such good hands. She sends an adorable email every day with photos of the dogs, where they went, and how the hike went. The team of Oakland Pet Care is a true gem and godsend. I recommend them very highly!

Archie, my big rescue shepherd lab mix, is a sweet heart, however, he had a really hard first year of his life and I needed a lot of help with his sensitivity and reactivity. I tried several trainers and Vero's special touch has done the trick! What is special/unique about Vero: - Vero is very knowledgeable about all things dog-related and really takes the time to understand what is going on specifically for you and your dog - She is very kind and practical with her training and makes it simple so that it's easy to follow and be consistent - Vero is encouraging and supportive to help me feel more confident in what I am doing with Archie which is as important as anything else - Vero follows up and is very curious about how things are going and is eager to work with me to adjust as needed - She cares about the whole dog (and person : ) and helps to figure out what is going on health-wise since it is likely contributing to behaviors - We have been able to address a number of things with Vero that I was not able to make much progress on with other trainers - Vero continues to build on what we have learned whereas with other trainers I felt we kept working on the same thing and/or often regressed without much continual progress - Vero is very positive and clear in her communication which is incredibly helpful along the way

Two years ago, I decided to drive my cat, Margie, home to Southern California. Long story short, it…read morewas a nightmare, and I decided to find a trusted cat sitter. I did my research on various pet sitting agencies in the area before deciding on Rene. When I reached out, she was extremely responsive and came to meet me and Margie to get a sense of Margie's personality as well as to see where I kept Margie's food, litter, etc... Rene was great at engaging Margie and not a single claw was seen that day. Since then, I have asked Rene to take care of Margie during the holidays and occasionally when I am out of town at the same time as my roommate. Rene sends me updates with pictures everyday and even takes care to describe Margie's mood to me that day. She makes sure I've arrived home so Margie doesn't go hungry and keeps my space very tidy--I believe I once returned home to find my room cleaner than I left it. Rene has also been able to fit me in very last minute and is extremely flexible with her hours. She has been caring for Margie for over 2 years now and I deeply appreciate how reliable and consistent she is, often going the extra mile to make sure Margie is happy and healthy. I love that I have had Rene check in on Margie for the last two Christmases and Rene not only took great care of her, but left her a Christmas present both years. Little gestures like this only add to the list of reasons that make me confident in my choice of cat sitter and I am comfortable recommending Rene to anyone looking for a competent, trustworthy, and thoughtful cat sitter!

We have had pet sitters in the past for our previous cat and we used the usual apps but I feel there's a bit if hit and miss and not as much real care. Rene is by far the best pet sitter we have had and I can't recommend her highly enough.
