House Sitting in Chinatown, 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.”

“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!”

“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.”

“Tanitsha did a wonderful job taking care of my two dogs. She kept me updated with pics and videos, which I appreciate. They loved having her for company while I was away, they got lots of snuggles and playtime. We will certainly be booking Tanitsha again!”

“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!”

“My dog is usually wary around strangers, and he was happily jumping up on Molly the first time he met her! I felt completely secure leaving him in her calm, capable care for almost 2 weeks. Molly was wonderfully communicative throughout the entire process, including sending photo and video updates. She also had to deal with unexpected crate rest the last three days when my dog happened to have a flare up of a condition during her stay. She dealt with taking him to the emergency vet with incredible grace and compassion, stayed with him as much as she possibly could and kept me abreast of the situation. She also took beautiful care of my home. I would highly recommend her!”

“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! ?”

“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.”

“We felt so comfortable leaving our dogs with Korin! She kept us updated and was super communicative. We came home to happy dogs and a clean home”

“Lisa sends pictures several times a day. She leaves our house clean and follows our house rules. We feel confident that our dog is well cared for”

“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.”

“Awesome sitter! Great with my senior babies. Good quick communication. It was such a relief knowing my babies were being taken care of while I was away. Highly recommend.”

“Hyazinth is the cat sitting we’ve been searching for since moving to Oakland!! So kind & caring with our cats and home and so friendly & easy to communicate with.”

“Iris did a great job caring for my fur family while I was away for 4 days. I appreciated the care she provided and her flexibility and patience with them. It really eased my mind to know they were in good hands!”
