House Sitting in Claremont, Oakland

“Korin was amazing at keeping in touch and looking out for our indoor/outdoor cat. Our cat is special in that she thinks she’s part human and part dog, and meows at the door to go in and out, and we can’t have a cat door because she likes to bring home live animals from time to time, so we shopped around on Rover till we found Korin. Korin has a very easy and calm demeanor, was incredibly responsive and communicative from start to finish, sent proofs of life etc, and left our home immaculate. We’ve already booked her for a second stay. Thank you Korin!”

“Victoria was great and took amazing care of our senior dog Pierre during housesitting, and connected well with him even with his crotchety nature. Would definitely book with her again in the future!”

“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!”

“My dog loved Crystal! If I ever need a rover again I’m definitely re-booking — she sent lots of pictures and videos while I was away and I came back to a happy, sleepy pup :)”

“Chris was fantastic, will definitely be requesting him again. Chris is punctual, communicative, and most importantly, very attentive to our unique requests for taking care of Chunky. Thank you, Chris, for a great first booking on Rover!”

“Connie has frequently cared for my cats when we were gone on vacation. We have one tabby and one black cat. We always got updates from her and pictures of our babies. She is a responsible cat sitter.”

“Karen has nothing but love for animals. She takes the proper time and care when it comes to providing a loving environment for her pets. She does absolutely everything in her power to ensure that her pets are happy and healthy. Karen would be my first choice anytime I need someone to look over my pets. I absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible and loving sitter.”

“Nick is the definition of a dog person. As a lifelong dog owner with over 5 years of professional dog-walking and -caretaking experience, any dog is in great hands when with Nick. He and I worked together as dog walkers for many years, and Nick has also cared for my dog. He not only has a great instinct for how to communicate with and hold dogs' attentions, but also quite simply, he gives them loving and thoughtful care in his work. Highly recommend.”

“Lisa was phenomenal with my cat, she house sat for 2 weeks and I came home to a happy little one and clean home! She also took great care of my plants.”

“Angela was great with my little rescue dog! She's very professional and clearly has a lot of experience and is great with dogs. She sent a ton of photos, reached out with any questions, and kept me well updated on everything going on at home.”

“Ely was communicative, reliable and loving with our pets. Everything was in great shape when we got home- house was clean and pets were happy. We felt lucky to have Ely care for our home and pets while we were away! Thank you!”

“Amy was amazing with my dog and cat while staying at my house! She was very communicative and sent lots of pictures.”

“Sam was so amazing pet and housesitting for us!! She sent wonderful updates every day and took such great care of our dog and house. It's clear she knows what she's doing when caring for animals, our husky loved her!”

“Jess was great with our older dog, "Callo," who is very sweet but also has some anxiety. She was diligent about all the details, very responsive, and easy to communicate with. We appreciate that she asked a lot of questions and took time to get to know Callo. She took care of a few details at the house (mail, trash, etc.) while we were gone and the house was tidy when we returned. Look forward to having Jess come back next time and highly recommend her to other pet owners.”

About: I grew up with dogs (large active breeds) and as an adult have had the same (small breed) rescue dog for the last 10 years who is my world. In addition, I am often asked to care for friend's dogs so I have a lot of experience with puppies, seniors, small, large breeds and everything in between! I currently work full time at home, so I have a very flexible schedule for pet care. Since I have my own dog yours can either fit right into our preexisting care routine or I can modify it specific to your pet's needs. My dog is generally with me 24/7, so I am more than happy to have your pet with me at all times as well. They would be free to roam the apartment along with frequent trips out to the fenced yard.

“Alanna is fantastic! She was on time, gave regular updates, asked all the right questions, and we came home to a happy dog. Couldn't be happier!”

“The best!”

“Flannery was amazing with our pup. Flannery was kind, caring and communicative. She made time to visit with our dog before our dates and asked questions to ensure the best care was given to our dog. She sent great videos and updates throughout her stay with our kiddo giving us peace of mind knowing our pup was happy and well. Thank you, Flannery. Can’t wait to have you back!”

“Irina is a wonderful petsitter - she was very communicative, easygoing and caring with our pets. We had great peace of mind while away from our home. I highly recommend Irina!”

“We cannot say enough great things about Elena! She was communicative, checked in, shared photos and left the house spotless. We came home to a happy dog and felt safe leaving a new person with him. Would highly recommend Elena to anyone looking into Rover and taking care of their animal and home. Thanks, Elena!”
