House Sitting in Oakland

“This was my first time using Rover and I was a little nervous because I didn’t know what to expect, and Madeline was phenomenal. My dog, Swiffy, loved her immediately and she sent me thorough updates of their time together which really helped put me at ease and I was able to enjoy my event knowing my dog was being well taken care of. I would highly recommend her.”

“Melina was an incredible dog sitter for my pup! She is highly responsive, thoughtful, and followed all of my instructions. It was my first time leaving my dog over the weekend using Rover and it was a great experience! My dog became quickly comfortable and relaxed with her and she made sure to send tons of text and photo updates throughout the weekend. Thank you again, Melina!”

“Wow, what to say about Grace? Nothing but good things! My partner and I went on a 9 day trip to Europe and, before we went, I was extremely nervous. Like most people, our 2 dogs (and 1 cat) have a very particular schedule and I was so worried that no one would be able to take care of them the way WE did. I’m so happy to say that Grace immediately put those fears to rest. At my request, she sent twice daily updates, along with photos, showing her adherence to the pets’ routines. We still retained our dog walker and he had nothing to report but positive things about Grace and her care of the animals. We even had a friend stop by (did I mention how nervous I was???) and she had nothing but good things to say about Grace. Grace took all of my instructions and nerves with aplomb, and, dare I say it, grace. We’re so happy with her services and hope she will sit for us again soon!”

“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.”

“Lauren has been our pet sitter for over a year and stayed overnight with our pets on numerous occasions. She has surpassed all of our expectations, which if you knew us, you would know that is a very tall order! Not only is she extremely dependable, responsible and knowledgeable, she is also a very loving and kind person, especially to our 12 year old Bichon and 1 and 1/2 year old Collie! What is even more remarkable about Lauren is that she always knew what we, as "parents", needed - she would send us photos and videos of cute and funny things they would do and update us daily when we were away to advise how well all was going and/or the walks they had been on. To top it all off, she goes out of her way in order to feed our dogs lunch, which entails leaving her job at the Veterinary Hospital, eating on the go for her lunch hour just to make sure she fed them their midday snacks and took them out. She is unequivocally trustworthy with our most precious pups and we always had that wonderful peace of mind that our girls, and our home, were in the best of hands while we were away!!”

“Lena is without a doubt the best, simple as that! Very attentive and open communication; sent multiple updates, pictures, and videos daily. My wife and I weren’t worried for a second, and Marvin has never smiled that big with another human!”

“Alyssa was incredible! She took amazing care of Pip, was super communicative, and went way above and beyond! I felt 100% comfortable knowing Pip was getting lots of love and attention while I was away!”

“Katie was great with our two aussies for an overnight house sitting! they were tired and happy when we got home, and she left the house clean. Thanks so much Katie!”

“Anais did an amazing job of taking care of my dog and two kittens while we were out of town. She sent me photos, kept me informed with regular updates of how everyone was doing, and even noticed a potential health issue that I am having checked out. Can’t recommend her enough!”

“Ann Marie cared for our senior cat, Kitty Perry, for quite some time before we moved out of Philly. Ann Marie was always prompt, and spent extra time with our special man while we were out of town. Ann Marie was always incredible at providing us with updates, and actually waived a red flag that our cat might be losing his hearing (a vet visit soon after confirmed he was going deaf!) Kitty Perry crossed the rainbow bridge in September, but he lived a wonderful 17 years and was well taken care of by Ann Marie whenever we left town. Your fur baby will be in great care with Ann Marie!”

“Spirit was great and obviously loves animals. She stayed overnight with my cat Penny for two nights and was communicative and very tidy. I will be booking 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.”

“Hyazinth is the cat sitting we’ve been searching for since moving to Oakland!! So kind & caring with our cats and home and so friendly & easy to communicate with.”

“Grey was awesome! Helped us out last minute and gave our older dog wonderful care. We’re going to ask him to help again in the future for sure.”

“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!”

“Tiana was the absolute best. This was our first time hiring a house sitter for our three babies and Tiana put at us ease during our vacation. She was the best at and our dogs enjoyed her like family. Will look forward to booking her again very soon. ❤️”

“Wenjie did so well with our cranky old dog, taking care of the dog and apartment equally. He is cheery, responsive, and responsible, and we would book him again for Henry in a heartbeat”

“Jeff is great with my dogs and cats. He's very caring, gives them lots of love, and is very communicative with me about my pets.”

“Iris cared for our nearly 19 year old kitty recently. Iris was attentive to her unique medical and food needs and sent us daily pictures of our beloved BHussy. We were concerned B would lose weight while we were gone and she did not, thanks to Iris! We definitely would use Iris again.”

“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!”
