Meet Your Sitter & Walker
Hi, I'm Sverre.
After a rewarding career in corporate finance and business consulting, I decided to dedicate my full energy to what has been my lifelong passion: caring for animals with structured, calm, and devoted attention.
My journey began in Norway, where I trained my first working dog alongside handlers from the Air Force Dog School long before positive reinforcement became industry standard. Over the decades, I have maintained a deep hands-on connection to animal welfare through fostering, boarding, and exploring local East Bay parks and neighborhood routes.

Whether it's overnight stays, drop-in visits for dogs or cats, or peaceful 1-on-1 neighborhood walks, your pets remain happy, safe, and calm in their familiar environment.
