House Sitting in Clinton, Oakland

“This was my first time using Rover and I was a little nervous because I didn’t know what to expect, and Madeline was phenomenal. My dog, Swiffy, loved her immediately and she sent me thorough updates of their time together which really helped put me at ease and I was able to enjoy my event knowing my dog was being well taken care of. I would highly recommend her.”

“Thanks for taking such great care of Sofia!”

“Grace stayed in my home and watched my two fur babies (5-month-old kitten and 3-year-old cat) for 10 days/9 nights and she truly did the most amazing job—I really can’t recommend her enough!! I’m new to Rover and was hesitant to have someone I don’t know stay in my home for that long but Grace was so kind, trustworthy, and thoughtful. She was very quick to respond to my messages and sent me thorough updates every other day with lots of adorable pictures of her playing with my cats, which made me so happy. My kitten is a ball of energy and is still learning how to navigate the litter box (sometimes she steps in her poop) and required some medication while I was away. Grace had no issues administering the medication, she did an awesome job monitoring the poop situation, and played with her a ton (my kitten is probably disappointed that I came home from my trip 😂). Also, I cleaned my home before I left and when I returned, it was just as clean (if not cleaner) than I left it. I will 100% be a repeat client! Grace is fantastic!!”

“Dea was extremely professional and knowledgeable of our dog’s needs. She made us feel very comfortable and was a great communicator. We definitely would recommend her services and would love to book with her again.”

“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”

“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!”

“Alyssa was incredible! She took amazing care of Pip, was super communicative, and went way above and beyond! I felt 100% comfortable knowing Pip was getting lots of love and attention while I was away!”

“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!”

“Grey was fantastic with my older dog, Luna. I came home to a happy, relaxed dog. He was incredibly communicative and sent me wonderful updates and pictures throughout my trip. I will definitely rebook with him!!”

“Rachel's been so wonderful! She's stayed with my cat during a few trips, and when I've come back, he's been calmer than he ever was after other travels. For the day or two after she leaves, he gets excited every time he hears the door, thinking it's Rachel.”

“Wish I could give more stars. Her attentiveness to all details of our dog Pippi and cats Vincent and Mia. Her caretaking of our animals AND our home. Her communication/pics while we were away - so so so reassuring and heartening. We came home to a happy dog and cats and a spotless house, including fresh sheets, which she'd requested she wanted to do. *sigh* She is a wonderful sitter and person. We are so so grateful!!”

“Absolutely thankful that Hieremila was able to jump in last minute and give us peace of mind that our dogs were being properly cared for while we attended to a family emergency.”

Ultimately just an all around dog Lover :)

“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!”

“Hans is very loving with my two cats and I feel completely at ease leaving them in his care. He seems to have a special rapport with them and is able to coax my shy one out. Hans is certified in pet Reiki and that is something he’s happy to provide as a bonus. The cats seem to respond favorably. Hans is very dependable and good at keeping in touch with me. He will do whatever is asked and he genuinely seems to love animals. I would recommend him without hesitation.”

“Cate was excellent! We hope she will be available again for our future trips. She gave our pups lots of snuggles and care. She was very thorough during our meet and greets. She was very nurturing to our puppy that has not been socialized. Additionally, she was very understanding and caring to our older pup that was having major separation anxiety issues. She handled everything professionally and with grace. Cate also has a very friendly, warm personality which made me feel comfortable with leaving her with our dogs for 10 days.”

“Ray took care of my 2 chihuahua mixes for a week while i was out of the country. she was responsive, responsible, and an excellent overall companion for my dogs. in addition, she watched my home and fed my cat. she is very trustworthy and an animal lover. I would hire Ray again without question.”

“My usual dog sitter was booked for my trip and I found Iris. We scheduled a meet and greet so she could get to know Mimi; then she came a bit early on the day I left go on a test walk and let Mimi grow accustomed to a new dog sitter. Iris sent regular updates and it all went smoothly. I was very confident Mimi was in good hands. I definitely recommend Iris if you need a sitter for your doggo.”

“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’”

“Mackenzie did a great job caring for our 2 dogs and cat while we were away for 9 days. She's very responsive and also did a great job house sitting. We hope she'll do it again!”
