House Sitting in Civic Center, Oakland

“Charlii is great - our dog Finn adores her, and rightly so, because she takes him everywhere and they see the world together. She's excellent!”

“Melina was an incredible dog sitter for my pup! She is highly responsive, thoughtful, and followed all of my instructions. It was my first time leaving my dog over the weekend using Rover and it was a great experience! My dog became quickly comfortable and relaxed with her and she made sure to send tons of text and photo updates throughout the weekend. Thank you again, Melina!”

“He followed all of my instructions to a T and was a great house guest. I really appreciate how fast he communicated with me throughout the process. My dog normally barks at people and his calm presence was a nice fit to keep Kuta calm.”

“Sasha is so caring, kind, and loving with our animals. She left a super clean house, was extremely communicative, very reliable and so respectful with our home. She is also extremely responsible and goes out of her way to make sure the animals get everything they need—walks, food, and treats—while we are away. I feel so lucky to have our animals in her care. We will definitely work with her again!”

“Sidney was great with Rocket as he is a senior dog and requires some extra care. She was communicative, sent pictures and videos and overall just wonderful.”

“We couldn’t have been more at ease with Kimberly house-sitting for our senior dog (special needs+care) and cat while away for a family wedding. Our dog, in particular, seemed comfortable as ever when we returned after a week, in stark contrast to the last and final time we boarded him overnight elsewhere. Can’t recommend Kimberly enough. Hope to have her watch the animals again if we’re forced to leave them :)”

“Cathy is very communicative and I did not stress knowing she was taking care of things on my homefront. She's very nice and my house was pristine when I came home. Thanks Cathy!!!”

“Dennis is a considerate and kind person, a wonderful dog sitter for us and our German Shepherd. Our GSD is older and requires a cart when being walked. Dennis took the time to ask for what he needed to feel comfortable getting her into and out of the cart, making sure he had the dietary and medication needs defined, and meeting with us to ensure everyone thought it was a good fit. I highly recommend Dennis if you need a pet sitter! He left our home just as it was when we left, and we had the peace of mind of knowing our special-needs dog was well cared for while we were away.”

“Qishu was a great house and pet sitter! She was responsive and sent lots of updates and pictures while we were traveling. All our pets loved having her over.”

“Rayshell was a lifesaver when a friend couldn't cat sit for us. She was very communicative and I could tell that my kitties were relaxed and felt self. I will book Rayshell again.”

“Elise came highly recommended by a trusted friend, and she did not disappoint! She was great with my two pit bull mixes, who warmed up to her immediately, and she dealt with their anxiety and other quirks like a true pro. I came home to happy pups and a clean house. Couldn’t ask for better. Would hire again and recommend 10/10.”

“Alejandro is the best! Was available kind of last minute and really made me feel at ease while we were away. Worked with my anxious dogs to help them be comfortable. One is a senior and the other is a teenager so it’s not always easy balancing their energies. They were so calm and sweet when I got home, I knew they had a nice time with him. Will definitely book again!”

About: Looking for a personal oasis for your pet? 💛 Look no further in having a responsible animal lover dote on your pet. — I grew up around two chihuahas, a german shepard, and two friendly pomeranians at my aunt and uncle’s house. Playing, giving them treats, and making sure they stayed within neighborhood bounds were a regular for my brother and me. I’ve also had the honor to house sit for a variety of dogs and cats. I’ve cared for the needs of senior cats to playful pups to independent rescues, to mischievous kittens. With this experience, I am happy to care for and get to know more of your beloved furred ones! … It is also a special interest of mine to do training for dogs. I believe in using Positive Reinforcement and loving gentleness when it comes time to handling animals. I’m currently working towards my CBATI-KA through Grisha’s Stewart Academy and love continually learning through different trainers, educators, and under the CCPDT’s guidelines of LIMA (Least Intrusive Minimal Aversive). I also was recently certified with Pet CPR Aid with ProHero Training. Let’s book a Meet & Greet! Scheduling: I work as a FT freelancer, so please respond in a timely manner and communicate as much in advance, so I can best fit you and your pet into my schedule/space! — Some things I’d like to know from you: When is your best availability for an initial Meet & Greet? What is the size, breed, and temperament of your animal(s)? Are you ok with me posting pics of your pets? — Thank you! + Please note I will always value you and your fur babies’ comfortability first. … Your pet(s) and their personalities are the Star of the show! — Please let me know about your pet’s personal likes/dislikes, favorite toys, treats, any allergies, and/or particular preferences for comfort & joy. I also have experience administering medication, if needed and have experience (for both dogs and cats) with preparing supplements / added medicine to be mixed in with their meals. A personal side interest of mine is also doing training for dogs. So if your dog has any particular behaviors, you’d like to be worked on, let me know and we can work on tackling an issue together.

“Lauren was a wonderful sitter for my chihuahua Frankie. I booked for dog sitting pretty last minute, but Lauren was happy to fit in a meet and greet before my trip. Frankie is pretty shy to warm up to new people, but she settled in so quickly with Lauren. Lauren was very communicative, sent me lots of pics and updates of how things were going, and was attentive to all of Frankie’s needs and our routines. I came back to a happy pup and a very clean house as well. Thank you Lauren!”

“Dea was great with our senior pup and I felt confident that he was in good hands. Dea is easy to communicate with and provided photos and updates. We came home to a happy, sleeping dog and an immaculate house. 10/10!”

About: Hi, I'm Rose. I have been around animals my whole life and have had a family dog (a small poodle mix) for the last 7 years so I understand the importance of love and structure when caring for animals. I also spent time volunteering at my local animal shelter by helping walk dogs and clean kennels. More recently I have begin pet sitting this has included over night stays as well as daily walks and check ins. Through this experience I have worked with dogs of all sizes and energy levels. I also have a familiarity with dog training and differing behavioral challenges. I am currently a full time college student home for summer break. This allows me to have a an open schedule and I am free most times of the day! I prioritize communication between myself and pet owners and will make sure to provide updates often. For me to care for an animal it crucial that I know of any challenges or triggers they may experience and strong communication will allow me to better know the pet I am taking care of While I am unable to board a dog at my home I will ensure that pets remain safe while following all rules of the household.

“Celeste was fantastic! We have 4 cats with big personalities and she was so great at getting to know all of them over the course of the 8 days she house sat for us. She provided very detailed summaries of their days/nights, and navigated some of the trickier nuances of our situation like an absolute pro: medication administration, some inter-cat tension we've been dealing with, and making sure everyone got adequate individual attention. We also had a house issue come up while we were gone which she handled so well and was great at giving us updates. It was such a relief to have a proactive problem solver watching our boys and the house. We have another upcoming trip and will absolutely be rebooking with Celeste.”

“Meshaal was a wonderful dog and house sitter! He has a calm demeanor and is very professional. He took excellent care of our senior dog who has some health needs and took care of all his medications with no issues. He also promptly responded to all our check in messages. Our dog loved Meshaal and and was crying when he left! Meshaal also left our house better than we left it. Looking forward to rebooking with Meshaal again in the future. Would definitely recommend Meshaal to others!”

“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.”
