House Sitting in Cox, Oakland, CA

“Angie was great. She was very responsive and kept us updated throughout the entire time she took care of both our pups. The pups were healthy and happy and our home was kept clean. We would have her house sit for us again.”

“Jessikah is an incredible pet sitter! She spent a long weekend house- and pet-sitting for me, from a Thursday evening through Sunday evening, staying overnights. She kept my house very clean, watered my front garden, and - most importantly - was super attentive to both of my pets. My cat is not particularly fond of new people, and Jessikah really put on the effort to put Angrboda at ease and try to get her to play, despite being hissed at. My dog is easier, but Jessikah went the extra mile cuddling with him loads and walking him (he pulls; walks are optional) during her stay. I got incredible photos of both pets every day. When I got home from my trip, my pets were not stressed and anxious that I'd been away, which is extremely important to me. I cannot recommend Jessikah enough, and I am so happy to have found another pet sitter I can rely on and call back for future travel.”

“Dane is an incredible dog sitter! This was his second time watching Noah and it went so smoothly. He is very communicative, gives excellent updates, and Noah absolutely loves him. Will definitely book with him in the future. He took Noah for lots of great walks, had playtime and training time with him, and I genuinely feel like I had peace of mind while traveling that Noah was getting exceptional care tailored to his needs and personality.”

“Daria was absolutely wonderful on all fronts! She’s extremely timely with her communication/ responses and makes sure she understands all instructions before the visit starts. We have a senior dog with many needs including being carried up/down stairs and on a strict medication schedule, and Daria was very patient, meticulous in administering the medication, kept both dogs on schedule, and sent us photos and updates throughout our trip! We could tell they had been well taken care of and well-loved (and cuddled!) upon our return. The house/ guest space was kept very tidy. It would be an honor to have Daria watch our babies and home again in the future.”

“Laura’s first time dog sitting for us went smoothly. This was an overnight trip. She sent us photo updates and was responsive when we texted to check in. When we got home, the house was tidy, their water bowls were filled, and Cannoli and Da Vinci were in good spirits. We’ve booked Laura for an extended stay while we’re on an international trip. Thanks, Laura!”

About: I totally love cats and dogs and enjoy looking after them. I currently have an empty nest after losing my cat to old age, who was with me from 6 months old to 19 years old. I have lived with and taken care of cats most of my life, have cared for family and friend's dogs and cats including kittens, elderly, and disabled cats. In addition to tending to their basic needs like keeping water fresh, feeding as instructed and keeping their area clean, I enjoy brushing and playing with them and taking dogs for walks. I'm a substitute elementary school teacher and semi-retired small tree garden arborist. I take pride in taking good care of trees, kids and pets and find joy in making what could potentially be the worst days for them turn into a positive experience. My boarding room is dedicated just for your pet/s. They will also have full access to the rest of the pet friendly one story two bedroom house, as their behavior permits. Otherwise, only when I'm home. I host with only one client at a time to provide a stress free environment. East facing corner windows let in morning light and are shaded in the afternoon. An elevated platform with pet bed overlooks a garden with small trees that wrap around the windows. Other cushioned lounging areas are in nooks and others out in the open. Sheets get replaced regularly and bedding cushions get washed between bookings. Area rugs cover the floor for comfort and soft landings. Two litter boxes are in the closet, one enclosed and one standard, which get scooped twice a day. There is a scratching post, toys and a tunnel.

“Stephanie was wonderful! She house sat for us for 5 days and took care of our dog, cat, and 3 chickens. She was prompt, professional, and very responsive, sending lots of photos throughout her stay. We would definitely work with her again.”

“Nina was wonderful! Very good with our pets including a very young bottle fed kitten, a senior dog, and our sassy high energy bulldog. Highly recommend!!”

“Korin kept me updated about my two boys throughout our trip. They looked relaxed and were even playing nonstop when we were gone- which is rare if we aren’t around-That’s how you know she made them comfortable. One of our dogs accidentally gave his doggy brother a boo-boo from playing a little rough and she knew what to do right in that moment and stayed calm. She obviously has a lot of Experience with dogs and I will use her again in the future.”

About: I’ve have had experience with pet care through dog sitting for friends, and family who have always seen happy attitudes from their all pets afterwards. I’m currently a college student while working part time! However, pet care can easily be fit into my schedule especially during mid evenings, or early afternoons. Within my personal home my dog appropriately utilizes their space. I will keep that same respect as I have for my home towards my clients home, along with additional factors my clients will inform me with!

“Diana did great with our dog, who doesn’t always warm up to new folks! She also left our home looking spotless, which was so appreciated. Would definitely hire again!”

“We used Erica for house/pet sitting services over the course of 5 nights/6 days. She stayed with our 3 dogs on and off throughout the day, feed them, walked them and also stayed at night. Erica was awesome from start to finish. She was super flexible, came for an initial meet and greet and also came back a second time to visit and go over details, get keys, etc. She provided us with updates and pictures as requested and always replied quickly. We will definitely be using Erica again!”

“Devon is absolutely amazing. We booked her on short notice for a Thanksgiving trip, she was very responsive when scheduling the meet and greet. My dogs took to her immediately and were following her around. She asked great questions about the dogs, even about things I did not think about mentioning. She was the perfect house guest, and did such a good job with both my dogs who have many medications to take, idiosyncrasies and preferences that need to be accommodated. Came home to two happy, calm dogs and a tidy home. Cannot recommend Devon enough, she is truly a gem!”

“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!”

“G’la was great with our two dogs! We loved all of the wonderful pictures she sent and our dogs clearly had a good time. She even went above and beyond to coordinate visits with our landlord while we were away. Thanks, G’la!”

About: Hi all! Some of my earliest and happiest memories are adventuring with my dogs in the woods of Missouri ☺️. I’ve been a lifelong animal enthusiast! My primary job has been in childcare for over a decade, but over the years I have worked as a dog walker and dog sitter for private clients, family, and friends in addition to that. Because I’m not yet in a place financially where I can have a pet of my own, I love getting to spend time with animals and give them love and attention while their owner tends to biz or vacation! I’m currently working part-time with flexible scheduling as a freelance nanny. This setup leaves plenty of time to tend to pet needs and care. I will always let you know any caveats to my schedule and how much time, if any, your animal baby will be left alone. I typically follow the lead of your pet’s personality. Into lots of attention, affection and exercise? I will reciprocate that. More shy and timid? I will respect that. Older and needs to cozy on the couch all day? Also fine! While I don’t have a yard, I do have a small outdoor space/parking area with foliage that’s accessible for immediate bathroom needs and outdoor space to hang out/play.

“Alejandra took excellent care of our three dogs, and our home. She communicated well, and transparently, which helped keep us informed on the health and welfare of our “kids”, one of whom was still recovering from dental surgery. She even took her to her follow-up vet visit. When we returned after our 11 day vacation, the house was clean and tidy and the dogs were clearly bonded with her. We will gladly book with Alejandra for all of pur future vacations!”

“Awesome experience. Would definitely use Hamed again. Very communicative, we got multiple photos each day. We felt safe leaving Hamed with our four animals and they clearly loved him and had a great time.”

“Salina was very punctual and communicative. She stayed at our house and took care of our senior dog and outdoor cats for 2 days and we felt totally comfortable with her making sure everyone was well taken care of!”
