House Sitting in Bancroft Business-Havenscourt, Oakland, CA

“Dane is an incredible dog sitter! This was his second time watching Noah and it went so smoothly. He is very communicative, gives excellent updates, and Noah absolutely loves him. Will definitely book with him in the future. He took Noah for lots of great walks, had playtime and training time with him, and I genuinely feel like I had peace of mind while traveling that Noah was getting exceptional care tailored to his needs and personality.”

“Angelique was flexible, communicative, and super loving with our dogs. She was willing to come walk/meet the dogs prior and get to know them and our house. Her messages during the trip were informative, reassuring and had pics to make it easy to know our pups were doing well. We’ll definitely be adding her to who we reach out to for future trips. Thank you!”

“Peggy loves Anais! It was great to see photos of the cuddling and enjoying their time together. We feel safe with Anais and know our dog & house are in good hands.”

“Victoria was very calm, collected and kind. She was flexible with our last minute needs and able to handle our very high energy doberman puppy with ease. Will be booking again - 10/10!”

“Laura’s first time dog sitting for us went smoothly. This was an overnight trip. She sent us photo updates and was responsive when we texted to check in. When we got home, the house was tidy, their water bowls were filled, and Cannoli and Da Vinci were in good spirits. We’ve booked Laura for an extended stay while we’re on an international trip. Thanks, Laura!”

“Lady loves Melina! Melina is very friendly and relaxed, our puppy Lady is very comfortable with her, and she’s also very knowledgeable which is great for new puppy parents like us. Thanks Melina!”

Lauren M.

“Shivani was incredible and the best sitter we’ve had! She took such great care of our pup, our two cats, and our home. Our pup is fairly reactive and has some big feelings about the world, so it can be hard to find people she is comfortable with. She seemed to be quite at ease with Shivani and enjoyed her time with her! Our shy cat also loved Shivani! Shivani also sent a lot of updates about our pets, which was soooo incredibly helpful and really put us at ease while we were away! Truly can’t say enough positive things about her and we will definitely ask her to sit for us in the future!”

About: I have taken care of numerous friends pets over the years. I have done some pet sitting online as well. I can administer medications, and I'm very good at following all your instructions to best take care of your critters. I moved to the Bay Area in 2025, and I'm excited to be here! I have a flexible schedule, and I'm happy to spend plenty of time with your pets. I am very good at following your directions on when and how much to feed your pets, when they are used to their walks, etc. I have administered medication to pets. I very much care about the safety and well being of your fur babies.

About: I've been surrounded by dogs from a young age. I'm adaptable, whether they need a cuddle buddy, someone to throw a ball, or someone who will get down and (lightly) wrestle with them. Every walk session comes with some time for play and some time for love. Great with rescues or formerly abused dogs! Nervous, or otherwise neurotic dogs aren't a problem. I'm available whenever I might be needed. I just work on personal projects at home, so it's trivial to find the time I would need. I currently live in a pet-free apartment, so overnights at my place aren't an option. For extended care, I try to stick to the dogs owner defined schedule to preserve some sense of normalcy for them.

“I’m so happy Korin had availability to watch Leo and Oscar! I had never left one of my dogs with a sitter before and he can be shy and nervous. She was great with both of them, super communicative, professional, and friendly. Can’t recommend enough!”

“Jessikah is an incredible pet sitter! She spent a long weekend house- and pet-sitting for me, from a Thursday evening through Sunday evening, staying overnights. She kept my house very clean, watered my front garden, and - most importantly - was super attentive to both of my pets. My cat is not particularly fond of new people, and Jessikah really put on the effort to put Angrboda at ease and try to get her to play, despite being hissed at. My dog is easier, but Jessikah went the extra mile cuddling with him loads and walking him (he pulls; walks are optional) during her stay. I got incredible photos of both pets every day. When I got home from my trip, my pets were not stressed and anxious that I'd been away, which is extremely important to me. I cannot recommend Jessikah enough, and I am so happy to have found another pet sitter I can rely on and call back for future travel.”

“Devon was awesome with our quirky dogs. She was really good about communicating about her two visits each day and how they did on their walks, their eating, their chill time and any odd or funny things they did (we expect them to be ridiculous). She just rolled with their behaviors and worked really hard with our one dog that has a bit of "stranger danger" and they became good friends by the end. We'd hire her anytime! She is calm, funny and confident with dogs.”

About: Looking for a pet sitter who treats your furry (and feathered, scaled, and shelled) friends like family? Look no further! With years of hands-on experience caring for senior dogs, lively puppies, curious kittens, chirpy birds, scaly reptiles, tiny rodents, and even shimmering fish, I’ve got all your pet care needs covered — and then some. Specializing in working with senior dogs, I know how to give them gentle, tailored care that keeps them happy and comfortable. Got a multi-pet household? No problem! I’m a pro at managing the chaos — from feeding and exercising to grooming, administering medications, cleaning litter boxes, and offering endless cuddles and love.

Because your pets deserve the best — and I’m the pet whisperer they’ll thank you for! I'm currently working part-time with a flexible schedule. Monday thru Friday 8 AM - 10 PM. I am available for weekends and one-week or longer stays with advanced notice. When I care for your dog in their home, it’s all about creating a safe, loving, and stress-free environment where they feel comfortable and cherished. I’ll start by understanding their unique personality, routines, and preferences, so everything feels familiar and calming. Whether it’s a cozy cuddle session on their favorite spot, a gentle walk around the block, or simply sitting beside them while they nap, I’ll give them my full attention and love. I believe in respecting their space, engaging them with gentle play, and providing plenty of positive reinforcement. I’ll keep their meals, medications, and bathroom routines on schedule, and I’ll make sure they get plenty of exercise and mental stimulation. Most importantly, I’ll treat your dog like family — with patience, kindness, and lots of love — so they feel safe, happy, and loved even when you’re not around.

About: My eldest started working for Rover a couple years back and began working privately. In this process, I began helping at times and grew to enjoy the company of animals. I have a property that allows both outdoor play and a style home that allows me to keep my children kept apart for mutual safety if required. I enjoy all animals and unlike popular norms, I love both cats and dogs the same! Providing this service allows me to care for and enjoy animals without the long term commitments that come with owning pets. I have also cared for seniors and understand both the value and what is required in caring for others, humans and animals alike. Pet care is easy for me as I have a set up that allows it to be done relatively seamlessly. I work from home and design my own schedule allowing for me adapt to needs of animals with ease I have a fenced backyard and two story home that allows me to provide space required for the needs of your pet. My neighborhood is on a quiet street (cul-de-sac) on a hill allowing for me to easily walk pets.

“Diana did great with our dog, who doesn’t always warm up to new folks! She also left our home looking spotless, which was so appreciated. Would definitely hire again!”
