House Sitting in Caballo Hills, Oakland

“Victoria was the best! She sent pictures daily and was extremely communicative. Our pets were well cared for! We will 100% be asking her to come back next time we are gone.”

“This was my second time working with Zsa-Zsa and she was great! Her communication leading up to the stay and during the stay was thorough and detailed. My dogs were excited to see her when she arrived at the house; that’s always a good sign!”

“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!”

“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 always great, loves what she does, super reliable, very communicative while I’m away, and Jake loves her. Such a comfort knowing he and the house are in good hands.”

“Took such good care of my little ones and sent wonderful updates. Thank you so much!”

“Dea did a great job caring for our recently adopted Jack Russell. She was sensitive to his needs (this was our first time away since rescuing him) and Dea really worked to gain his trust. She was flexible with our early return and very willing to accommodate our desire for updates (since we were missing the little guy). We will definitely use Dea again.”

“Kit is friendly and very professional. My dogs took to her immediately. Her communication is prompt and complete and she gave us great updates and pics. I felt very confident w Kit looking after our pups. I’ll def be a return client when the need arises.”

“Anais took excellent care of Rumple, made sure she had all the particulars and asked thoughtful questions to be prepared to care for our guy. She even dealt with an embarrassing lock out situation that was completely my fault with patience and grace. I eagerly recommend her services and will definitely request her again next time Rumple needs company. Your pet is in great hands with Anais.”

“Alyssa is amazing! Our pups were so happy to stay with her, and she left our home super clean. We have an older pup who has a lot of special needs, and Alyssa always pays special attention to detail. She’s just the best and our pups agree!”

“We would definitely recommend Lei Lei for dog and house-sitting. Lei Lei is super knowledgeable about dogs and we could tell that she and our dog Milo became fast friends. Lei Lei was communicative and professional and left the house in perfect condition. We loved the photos and updates of their adventures, though as crazy dog parents we of course would have happily received more photos/videos.”

“Trevor is one of the most kind hearted people I know. He loves animals and took care of his Italian Greyhounds, turtle - Clank, plants and now both of his cats really well. He is trustworthy, communicates well and is very compassionate. He loves animals and can follow specific instructions. I highly recommend his services! He’s a great REALTOR as well!”

“Daria stayed in our place with our dog and cat for a week. Unfortunately, our cat became sick during our travel, and she promptly informed us about the situation. She took our cat to the vet, followed instructions about the treatment, and sent us timely updates. She is very caring and went above and beyond attending to our sick cat. Also, she left our house clean and in order. I highly recommend her.”

“Nina did an amazing job housesitting with our two dogs. She was incredibly polite, responsive, genuine and honest. When we had to modify our reservation due to unforeseen circumstances she was able to adapt and, on her own accord, went above and beyond to make sure the trip was successful. We would feel comfortable having her in our house and taking care of our dogs at any time. I can't say enough great things about her.”

About: Our pets are family. My approach is a balance of attention and simple structure that makes for happy socialization. My partner and I have always had cats and dogs and I have experience with everything from puppyhood to the special healthcare challenges of senior pets (including administration of oral meds and injected insulin) I used to walk dogs back in college as a part-time job. Now, I am excited to make some new 4-legged friends and get out for some exercise together. I work from home part-time and with a very flexible schedule. I do long walks in the morning and afternoon and, if staying with us, in addition to walks, your doggie will have full access to the yard during the day to sunbathe and play. If house sitting at yours, I will be on hand with your pet at a minimum in the morning, for a few hours mid-day, and then all evening and night. We have a large fenced yard and two small, friendly pups (9lb young female yorkie and 12lb female coton de tulear) to play with. "The girls" are not crated at night, but I am happy to set up your pup's normal sleeping area if staying with us. For dog walking, I do 30-45 minute adventures with priority given to clients located in Oakland's Laurel, Dimond, Maxwell Park, and Redwood Heights neighborhoods. Ideally, your dog loves walking with some friends, but we can customize for personal pup needs.

“Kayla took great care of Moonbeam and my home. From the photos she sent, I could tell he loved her & was well taken care of. I look forward to booking her again and knowing my fur baby is happy when we are away.”

“Tiana was easy to communicate with from start to end. She was responsive to our questions and also asked us great questions about our pup. And she brought a really calm, kind energy - our anxious dog seemed very comfortable with her! We would absolutely work with her again.”

“Julie was a fantastic kitty cat sitter! My kitty is elderly and so requires special diet twice a day and likes to know if someone’s around. It wasn’t long before he was letting Julie pet him, kiss him, and give him all kinds of cuddles. There was a point at which he wasn’t eating very well, and Julie communicated with me immediately and worked her magic to get him to start eating well again! Lots of photos and updates too. Plus, my house is old and so a few things require a bit of extra carefulness, which Julie was unafraid of. At the risk of rendering her less available for my own kitty cat sitting needs, i’ll go ahead and give her well earned rave review and say I highly recommend Julie!”

“Nia was incredibly professional, caring, polite and genuinely cares about animals and people. I would trust her implicitly with housesitting or pet sitting! Nia is a gem.”

“Shannon was punctual and appeared to have followed all of our very specific directions for our pets. We are very appreciative of her caring for our babies. Our dogs loved her.”
