House Sitting in Oakland

“Madeline has stayed with Harley multiple times now, and she’s been incredibly attentive to his needs, communicative about how he’s doing, and flexible. She’s an awesome sitter that I’m glad Harley and I can rely on!”

“Melina took great care of our pups and cat while we were away! One of our dogs has anxiety, so it was great to see her warm up to Melina fairly quickly during the meet and greet, and she even got her out for some socialization. Already planning to book with her for our future trips!”

“Thanks for taking such great care of Sofia!”

“Grace looked after our doggo at our home for a weekend and was great! She was very communicative, worked with our pupper (he's an anxious doggo) and left our house in great shape. We would absolutely reach out to Grace again in the future.”

“Tanitsha is amazing, and I feel lucky we found her. Professional, on time, responsive, kind, and GREAT with our two old, reactive, neurotic shepherd and pit-mix pups. She went out of her way to make them comfortable and we can't wait to work with Tanitsha again.”

“Linda has watched my dog and cat for me a few times. She always sends lots of pics and updates. This time my poor cat wasn’t feeling well and she took such great care of her - doing some research and trying different things to make her feel better. I’m grateful for her care. Thank you Linda 🙏”

“Qishu was great with my dog! She has a hard time warming up to new people and Qishu was very patient with her and gave her lots of extra TLC. I got lots of pics and updates so I knew she was in good hands. Would definitely recommend and book again!”

“Katie was amazing with my dogs. One had had a dental 24 hours before and needed supervision and meds. She was also with them over 4th of July, and as you other dog pawrents know, it’s a scary time to be away from your pups. After meeting Katie briefly prior to the visit I felt so safe leaving them in her care. She left the place clean and well taken care of. Kind, conscientious, trustworthy and fabulous with dogs!”

“Hyazinth was fantastic with our two cats - even our shyer one took to Hyazinth quickly. Hyazinth was super communicative with updates and photos of our cats, and was clearly cuddling and playing with them frequently. We have searched for a long time for a cat sitter we feel totally comfortable leaving our babies with and finally think we have found them!”

“Cate was absolutely AMAZING! Our two dogs, Ruca and Max, can be a handful for my fiancée and I but Cate handled them with ease. We needed to leave town rather quickly and Cate was more than gracious to accommodate our ever-changing schedule. With pictures and text updates we were relaxed about the whole process and were very pleased to have our dogs watched by her. She took them on 3 walks a day and fed them twice a day as well. She played with both of them, and upon our return home, found happy and healthy pups! We would HIGHLY recommend Cate and the Rover service to anyone in the Alameda area. Her prompt responses and flexibility only added to the amenities of this services. Thank you Cate! And looking forward to having you watch Ruca and Max in the near future!!”

“Korin is absolutely fantastic- she’s a great communicator, was so kind and gentle while also being “in charge” with my reactive dog. She sent great updates and pictures and I can’t wait to work with her again!”

“Christine has sat for Disco twice and has always been super communicative and caring for my little guy! She sends tons of photos and I know he's in good hands when I'm away. I was on a camping trip with no cell phone service and I didn't worry at all leaving him with Christine.”

“Sam house and pet sat for us when our regular dog sitter was no longer available. We have one pup who is very skittish and we have not had good luck leaving her. She loved Sam immediately! Sam sent us pictures of daily walks, kept our home beautifully, and baked us cookies on our return. I cannot recommend him enough. Fabulous!”

“Donna was super sweet, helpful and great at communication! She even showed up early to help me out for the last minute booking. Thanks so much Donna!”

“Spirit was a joy to have house sit my cat Porcini for a week! She was super thoughtful and gave my cat lots of affection. A picture of my little guy was received everyday. I would definitely book again!”

“Lauren has cared for both of my 65lb pitbulls for almost a decade. One has severe anxiety and pulls strongly on the leash, and she handles him so well. The other is highly reactive to other animals, and I’ve seen Lauren employ great strategies to distract and regain my dog’s attention to maintain control. It’s really challenging to find someone as committed to the success and well-being of your animals as Lauren is. I feel so safe with her watching my animals. Have recommended her on several occasions and will continue to do so.”

“Grey was fantastic with my older dog, Luna. I came home to a happy, relaxed dog. He was incredibly communicative and sent me wonderful updates and pictures throughout my trip. I will definitely rebook with him!!”

“I trust Rayschell immensely with the care of my dog Happy, I know she will love and care for your dogs just as well as she has for mine.”

“Karin was great and patient with apollo!”

“Iris was great! Would definitely recommend. She kept us updated and sent us pictures of our dog. Our dog seemed very happy and content when we got home.”
