House Sitting in Shafter, 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.”

“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!”

“Laura was great with our two dogs! She stayed at the house, provided regular updates and they seemed very happy. Our regular dog walker also said she was fantastic. 10/10 recommend!”

“Angela was amazing! She offered to do a meet and greet before sitting, which was perfect for my dog who is a little wary of new people. I also got plenty of updates and pictures. And I was able to enjoy my time away worry free because she was in such good hands.”

“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!”

“Marina is thee best! My kitties - Sunny and Dibs - love her. She’s always so tidy and had the best attitude. And she’s a vegetarian!”

“Sophie did a fantastic job sitting for our house, two dogs, 6 chickens and many plants! She's a great communicator and enthusiastic pet lover. She sent daily dog photos and kept the house so clean it was hard to tell anyone had been there. I will highly recommend her for house and pet sitting!”

“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!!”

“Flannery was an amazing pet and house sitter. She took great care of the house and pets and sent great photos and videos. We look forward to using her again in the future!”

“Anny and Shuhan were responsible and reliable, and Anny provided regular updates on my dog. My dog can get a little depressed when we aren’t there and Anny went out of her way to make sure she was ok. It was wonderful knowing she was in such loving and competent hands. They took great care of our house too! We will definitely hope Anny can sit for us in the future!”

“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!”

“Maggie was amazing! Our puppy absolutely loved her and she went the extra mile to take care of him while we were out of town!”

“Our experience with Shanley was nothing short of amazing! She was our very first Rover/pet sitter experience. We are so thankful to have found her. She sat our 130lb Irish Wolfhound, Lando, at our house for two days. Shanley was very attentive to Lando’s schedule and took excellent care of him. She updated us on how he was doing, sent pictures, and always responded very quickly. We saw her a few days later so she could meet our other dogs, and Lando was over the moon to see her again! We definitely plan to use her for future trips”

“Evangelina is wonderful with our dog, Coach. She is attentive and responsive. We appreciate that she sends frequent updates and photos!”

“Great stay with Gus over a holiday week. Our dog is a rottie and Gus knew just how to manage her; she was cozying up to him in no time. She was well cared for, the house was super tidy and clean when we returned. Gus sent regular updates to let us know that all was well. We will definitely try and hire him again!”

“Samantha is awesome. Great communicator. Truly loves pets and took great care of our place- my tomatoes even made it which is a rarity when we go out of town. Cannot recommend Samantha enough!”

“Linda was so wonderful with Daisy and kept us posted every day on how she was doing. She was an amazing house sitter as well and left the house in wonderful condition even after an extended stay.”

“Vivyana was very responsive and took great care of our energetic dog! She even took him out for a long walk. Would definitely recommend her!”

“Jess was great with our older dog, "Callo," who is very sweet but also has some anxiety. She was diligent about all the details, very responsive, and easy to communicate with. We appreciate that she asked a lot of questions and took time to get to know Callo. She took care of a few details at the house (mail, trash, etc.) while we were gone and the house was tidy when we returned. Look forward to having Jess come back next time and highly recommend her to other pet owners.”

“Nicole house sat for our cats and was wonderful! Very easy to communicate with and friendly. I would definitely book her again and recommend her”
