House Sitting in School, 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!”

“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!”

“Melina was an amazing sitter and proved to be absolutely perfect for a week long house sitter for our dog who struggles with separation anxiety. She provided updates multiple times a day with photos and description of the days activities. She followed our instructions to a T and we could tell that our dog was super happy with the experience upon our return. Will definitely book Melina again if she is available when we need a sitter for a long weekend.”

“Thanks for taking such great care of Sofia!”

“Wow, where do I start? Jana is such a great sitter, super communicative and anticipates my cats and my needs before I even ask them. She really sees my cats unique personalities, and I can tell from the photos she shared that they really trust her. She got my shyer cat who typically hides for days to sit with her on the very first day! She left my house sparkling clean. I trust Jana completely.”

“Dea was so great with Loki, I could tell from the photo and video updates that he was very comfortable and happy! Would absolutely rebook her services again and would definitely recommend Dea to anyone!”

“Jill is so awesome. She watched our little chihuahua mix and our outdoor cats for a little over a week. She was super communicative and thoughtful. Our animals were well cared for. We felt extremely comfortable having her stay at our house. And like all her other reviews, we were super grateful and amazed on how well she left our house! It was so clean, maybe more clean than when we left! Hopefully we can book Jill again.”

“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!”

“Fantastic on all fronts. Very communicative, sent pictures, great house guest, treated our dog with a gentle touch and let her warm up to friendship. We would love to work with Devyn again.”

“Jillian was super for my old dog Shane. He immediately took to her on the meet and greet, and she quickly understood his personality and needs. Shane was very relaxed when I return from the two days away, indicating that her felt very comfortable with Jillian being here with him. She also left the house in very good order, including a couple of nice extra touches.”

“Lauren and Justin were so great watching my Lucky boy! They kept me updated everyday and sent me the cutest photos while I was away and even left me some cute polaroids of Lucky when I returned home! I returned to a very clean house which made my long journey home so much better! I will definitely have them watch Lucky again because I know he loved them and felt super comfortable with his new friends!”

“Alyssa is an incredible sitter who pays close attention to detail and asks a lot of questions to better understand your pet's schedule. I couldn't have asked for a better sitter!”

“Hieremila is just amazing! I was super anxious about using Rover for the first time bc my 2yo pittie mix can be reactive to new people and dogs. But Hieremila was so great, she and her two dogs met with us at a dog park to introduce our dogs and made me so comfortable about the entire process! She sent me photos everyday and let me know that everything was going well. She is so calming and caring. I’m sure my pup had the most amazing vacation playing and cuddling with Hieremila, Togo, and Stygi! Thank youu! ?”

“Jason is wonderful. He has bonded with our dog and she adores him. He is very professional and makes sure our little girl is cared for as if we were there.”

“Christine is a great sitter. Remi got stitches on his foot a week before Christine's visit, and his exercise still needs to restricted. Christine was great at ensuring Remi's exercise was restricted while also finding ways to play games and keep him engaged. It's obvious Remi had a great time with her. I trust my dog is in good care when he's with Christine.”

“Maia truly loves animals and she is very responsible. Our cats were relaxed and happy when we returned. She provided good updates and communication while we were away. We would be happy to have Maia as a catsitter again in the future.”

“Osaze was great with Arthur. He was communicative, prompt, and an all around great dog sitter. Highly recommend him for your dog sitting needs!”

“Aviva is such an excellent doggy caretaker - she's thoughtful, kind, and a joy to work with. I'm told our basset hound made the rounds on Instagram and now his self-esteem is at an all-time high. Thanks Aviva!”

“Victoria was an excellent sitter! She did a great job taking care of our very energetic dog and was communicative throughout our trip. Would definitely recommend her!”

“Could not have asked for a better, more competent, more thorough sitter for my two (no always easy) pups. Simply based on the questions Becca asked me ahead of her stay, I knew my pups were going to be in good hands. She made enrichments toys for them, played endless fetch, walked them, and gave them all the snuggles they wanted. They can’t wait to see Becca again.”
