House Sitting in Adams Point, Oakland

“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!!”

“Alexis took amazing care of our dog while we were out! She played with him a bunch and took him on a long walk. She was very communicative before and during the appointment. She even spoke to our dog in Japanese, which was a nice surprise! We came home to a super happy and tired doggie :) Would highly recommend Alexis for your dog sitting needs!”

“Dennis is wonderful and we can’t wait to work with him again. He took great care of Bruno and our home. Dennis provided photos and updates on Bruno while we were away and our home was spotless when we arrived home. Highly recommend’”

“Korin is amazing and very attentive! She treated my dog, Cosmo, as her own and even helped me address his behavioral concerns. As someone new in town, I was at my wit’s end trying to find someone who will watch over Cosmo as he’s a very anxious dog. However, Korin was so understanding of Cosmo’s needs and patiently worked at his pace in getting him more situated with his new environment. She also made a list of park recommendations and treats to help with Cosmo’s concerns. Not only did she go above and beyond to support Cosmo, but she also left my place clean and tidy. She will now be our go-to sitter whenever I have to leave Cosmo alone. I feel comfortable leaving Cosmo with her because I know he will be showered with love and care! We appreciate you so much, Korin!”

“Nina took excellent care of our elderly pup, Rosco. She was consistent with his care- providing regular walks, giving him his medication, and sharing lots of snuggles. Beyond this, Nina has the same level and care and empathy towards all the pets she meets. Her energy and mindfulness really bring more joy and excitement to their lives.”

“Crystal spent a week with our fur babies while we were out of town. It was our first time leaving our 3 year old dog for that long so naturally we were a bit worried but Crystal was very communicative and responsive and made us feel like the fur babies are with their Auntie! She sends lots of pictures and updates and took really good care of our home. The house was just as clean as we left it and she even washed the sheets and towels (totally unnecessary!!!) We would 1000% have her watch the kiddos again and We Highly recomend Crystal if you need a kitty sitter, dog walker, or both!!!”

“Victoria was very professional and went out of her way to come early and leave late at night to take care of my older dog! We really enjoyed working with her! I would recommend using her if you need some help with your fur babe/babies!! She stayed with my dog for 2 days and when I got home you couldn’t tell anyone was here because everything was as we left it. Thank you Victoria!”

“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.”

“Hyazinth is a great pet- and house-sitter. Our suspicious kitty was more social when we returned, and both kitties were relaxed and happy. Everything we asked for was attended to. Would definitely recommend and seek them out as a petsitter again! Thank you Hyazinth!”

“Qishu was beyond amazing! She came over before our trip to meet my animals and was lovely. She asked questions and answered mine perfectly. While we were gone she updated us with lots of photos of the animals and made me feel like they were wonderfully taken care of. Everything was clean and perfect upon our return. I’d highly recommend her!”

“Chris is amazing, though I don't want to tell you that because then you'll book him and he won't be available for ME! It's clear he loves animals and they love him back. He just has a very chill vibe our dogs and cat responded to but he's also super professional, always punctual, and an excellent pet photographer. Already rebooked him for more stays.”

“Sandy sent me wonder and sweet pictures of my cat, guava, during her time pet sitting at my home. I could tell my sweet kitty was very to have Sandy for company while we were out of town. She even gave our stovetop a deep clean! Have booked Sandy many times to watch guava off the rover app and will happily be doing so again soon. Thank you Sandy!! ❤️”

“This was our second time working with Rachel and again it was a great experience. She communicates well and took great care of our pup and home.”

“Alyssa is a wonderfully pleasant sitter to work with. She is always willing to help us out and has great availability. She cares for our mini dachshund like it is one of her own dogs. We are so appreciative of her support with our old pup.”

“Jay’s communication is incredible! I was sent amazing photos and updates the entire time I was gone and my dogs were taken such good care of.”

“Gabrielle provided stellar care for our fur babies, Kona the retriever and Mewis the mischievous kitty. Gabrielle's communication and kindness were also top-notch. Many thanks, Gabrielle!”

“Elise was wonderful, very communicative and considerate. She left my place in a great state and the pets seem to have had a great time while I was away. Would greatly recommend!”

“Beth was fantastic! She was on time, incredibly responsive, and just overall a totally awesome person. Bonzo had a great time and was well looked after. She was respectful of my home and even went the extra mile to accommodate my schedule/rescheduling. Thank you!! Will rebook again for sure.”

About: My first dog-sitting gig occurred when I took care of a college friend's amazing pup, Teddy, during her Spring Break trip. I really enjoy the diverse personalities of different dogs and getting to know their unique quirks. I am also a physically active person who can handle high-energy dogs that would benefit from long walks and hikes, though I am more than happy to pal around with your couch potato, too. As a self-employed garden designer I have a very flexible schedule and I can easily accomidate and stick to the routine times for walks & meals that your pet is already familiar with! The most successful pet care comes from respecting their need for natural behaviors and not introducing too many new elements too quickly. I prioitize keeping routines as similar as possible to what a pet is already familiar with, and doing them calmly!

“There aren't enough words to describe how amazing Sandra is at caring for pets! If you're looking for a sitter that will care for them as though they are her own, Sandra is the sitter for you. She has watched my two 5-year old cats several times and there is no sitter that has given my boys the care and attention that Sandra has. I absolutely trust her in my home and know that she will always be attentive and thorough while I am away. Sandra is thoughtful and very communicative and gives the best updates with lots of pictures that always makes me relax comfortably knowing that they are in great hands. I can't recommend her enough!!”
