House Sitting in Old City-Produce And Waterfront, 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.”

“Grace stayed in my home and watched my two fur babies (5-month-old kitten and 3-year-old cat) for 10 days/9 nights and she truly did the most amazing job—I really can’t recommend her enough!! I’m new to Rover and was hesitant to have someone I don’t know stay in my home for that long but Grace was so kind, trustworthy, and thoughtful. She was very quick to respond to my messages and sent me thorough updates every other day with lots of adorable pictures of her playing with my cats, which made me so happy. My kitten is a ball of energy and is still learning how to navigate the litter box (sometimes she steps in her poop) and required some medication while I was away. Grace had no issues administering the medication, she did an awesome job monitoring the poop situation, and played with her a ton (my kitten is probably disappointed that I came home from my trip 😂). Also, I cleaned my home before I left and when I returned, it was just as clean (if not cleaner) than I left it. I will 100% be a repeat client! Grace is fantastic!!”

“Thanks for taking such great care of Sofia!”

“Book her without hesitation! It was the first time that my husband and I were having a dog sitter over our house so we were a little anxious, but Melina was extremely kind and helpful. She was sending a lot of pictures and updates of our puppy while my partner and I were out. Our little Sansa loved her! Plus she gave us a lot of advices about training and puppy behavior! THANK YOU SO MUCH!”

“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!”

“Grey was awesome! He asked all the right questions, which helped put us and Pawlo at ease. He was genuinely sweet and gentle with him. We are looking forward to work with Grey again!”

“My dog is usually wary around strangers, and he was happily jumping up on Molly the first time he met her! I felt completely secure leaving him in her calm, capable care for almost 2 weeks. Molly was wonderfully communicative throughout the entire process, including sending photo and video updates. She also had to deal with unexpected crate rest the last three days when my dog happened to have a flare up of a condition during her stay. She dealt with taking him to the emergency vet with incredible grace and compassion, stayed with him as much as she possibly could and kept me abreast of the situation. She also took beautiful care of my home. I would highly recommend her!”

“Tanitsha is extremely capable and careful. I believe my dog misses her already? I returned to a clean and neat house. Bed stripped. Towels in the dryer. Thank you, Tanitsha!”

“Emily did such an amazing job with Kona. He experienced some pretty severe separation anxiety while she was with him and she handled the situation with so much kindness. Emily, we are so grateful for you!!”

“Sasha was fantastic. She was quick to respond and very communicative throughout the sit. Our puppy liked her right away and seemed to have a good experience with her. We highly recommend!”

“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!”

“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!”

“Elena did great with Rue, who can get a bit mopey when I leave, and was extremely on-time. I was really glad to have her take care of my pup for the evening!”

“Lisa is the best! She's so calm and loving and attentive. We loved her energy. I have a senior dog and we had some last minute special needs and Lisa was able to accommodate no problem. Highly recommend.”

“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.”

“Cate was a big help with our house/dog sitting needs. She was great about communicating with us. We appreciated the fact that she was willing to meet with us twice before her scheduled stay so she could meet our elderly dog and get to know our house and schedule. We will definitely try to schedule with Cate again.”

“Jiyeon was great! Totally responsible and on top of every detail. Felt like I could trust her with my pets. Came home to a spotless house. I’d definitely use her again.”

“So friendly and responsive! She took great care of our pets and kept us updated during the stay. We will definitely be rebooking. Thanks for a great time.”

Ultimately just an all around dog Lover :)

“Iris is a dream cat- and house-sitter! I had an incredible experience with her from our first meet and greet to key drop-off at the end of her stay. She is quick to communicate and provides multiple updates each day, including pics. Based on the pics, I could tell that my cat felt at ease and that she had a ton of fun. Iris stayed at my home as well, and she left everything exactly as it was when I took off. I would love to have Iris as my go-to sitter from here on out! Your animal companion(s) and home are in the best of hands with her.”
