House Sitting in Downtown, Oakland

“Victoria was an excellent sitter! She did a great job taking care of our very energetic dog and was communicative throughout our trip. Would definitely recommend her!”

“This is my second time asking Melina to watch my babies while I was away for longer than I like. Melina is incredible! She’s a great communicator, all my fur babies absolutely adore her…she was even able to hang out with my slightly-less-than-feral kitty! I’m so happy that she’s decided to spend her days loving on critters, she’s perfect for the job! My pup started taking pills twice daily, since the last time that she watched him, and she was up for the job. He took them like a champ from her. I would highly recommend Melina for all your fur baby needs! She’s wonderful! Thank you!!!!”

“How to review dog sitting if you couldn't witness it firsthand? Actually, this one isn't hard. Kimberly provided both frequent photos and a written updates about our pup, which went a long way towards reassuring us during our first time leaving our dog with a sitter. And... when we came home, we encountered a pup who was happy, relaxed and thoroughly *not* traumatized. In fact, she was even more okay than when we'd leave her alone for a few hours while we were out. This spoke volumes. Thank you, Kimberly, for doing an excellent job of taking care of our pup!”

“Sasha was hands down the best house and pet sitter we've had. Incredible care for our home and dog was demonstrated daily during our 8 days away from home. Frequent check-ins with pics and video were much appreciated. She also rose to the occasion when we were unexpectedly delayed due to airline issues. We are super grateful to have Sasha as our new sitter!”

“Charlii is an awesome pet sitter! She has taken care of my two pups and one kitty many times now, and I can leave with confidence that they will be cared for with lots of love. She takes the dogs on nice long walks, reliably gives medication to my aging kitty, and looks after my home with care and consideration. All of the pets and I just LOVE her!”

“Hello everyone, I’m a really good friend of Kimberley. Every time we would hang out and willl be driving around every time she sees a dog in the streets she pauses and just admire the pets so much. Even when we hang out and walk around she would always ask if she can pet someone’s dog and every time she shows them love Kimberly voice will change into a cute little voice. Kimberly is a amazing with pets and she’s a amazing person.”

“Ruby is an excellent pet sitter who has taken care of my dog, Belle many times. Belle is always excited to see Ruby, which I think is great as Belle is very old and hardly gets excited for anything anymore!”

“Anais took excellent care of Rumple, made sure she had all the particulars and asked thoughtful questions to be prepared to care for our guy. She even dealt with an embarrassing lock out situation that was completely my fault with patience and grace. I eagerly recommend her services and will definitely request her again next time Rumple needs company. Your pet is in great hands with Anais.”

“Dea was awesomewe! Great communication, she sent plenty of photos and videos, and I feel completely confident with my doggie in her care. The best!”

“Coming home to find Benson napping next to Matt just made my heart go SQUEE! I really love Matt's gentle vibe because it puts Benson at ease and makes me feel better when I have to be away. Thanks for being so cool to my big boi!”

“This review is long overdue, but definitely had to write one. John stayed at our house the week of Thanksgiving 2017. It was our first time using Rover or any dog-sitter service, so we were apprehensive in letting a total stranger in our home, but John definitely put us at ease. When he came to meet Bighead, of course they got along famously. You can tell John truly has a passion for dogs, and of course our dog loves anyone that'll scratch his butt. We explained any restrictions that Bighead had, and he understood and also offered his own tips as well. During our trip, we got daily updates/pictures from John. We really happy that Bighead had a companion in the comfort of home, rather than boarding him in a kennel, and John understood where we were coming from. He also let us know if there were any potty accidents and took the time and effort to understand what could have been causing this ::separation anxiety, we're still working on it:: And we really wouldn't have even known anyone was there at all. I would definitely recommend him to anyone that needs a dog sitter! Thanks again John!”

“I can’t recommend Janesta highly enough as a dog sitter! My yorkie, Scotty, is a low-key pup (post zoomies) who absolutely adores humans and lives for cuddles, and attention. Janesta was the perfect match for him, and I couldn’t be happier with the care they provided. From the moment they met Scotty, it was clear they understood his mellow personality and need for affection. Scotty warmed up to them immediately, after being seduced by excellent behind the ear rubs. Janesta made sure he got all the snuggles and love he could possibly want, while also keeping him comfortable and content during the day. What really stood out was the way Janesta connected with Scotty. He drinks up their head and nose kisses and being babied by them. They kept me updated with sweet photos of him lounging around and gave me such peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. If you’re looking for a sitter who will shower your pup with love and treat them like family, Janesta is the one to call. Scotty and I are so lucky to have found them!”

“Kaley was great with our fur baby. I felt very confident going out for the evening with Kaley there to play with Rhea and keep her company. We’ll certainly be working with Kaley more in the near future!”

“Honestly could not have found a better pet sitter! She really took care of our little crew like they were her own. We came back to stress free, happy pets, which for our needy little lovea isn’t always the norm. Joanna was beyond considerate and sent lots of pictures which showed just how well cared for they all were. Cannot recommend highly enough!”

“Seth was a relief sitter during an extended trip away from home. He covered the last 10 days of our absence with reliable and attentive care. He had his work cut out for him, since our dog is quite aloof with men, but Seth took the time to let the dog get comfortable. We got a picture of the dog fraped all over Seth, so I would say it was a success!”

“Fulinag was amazing with our senior Golden Retriever, Daisy! He has arthritis and needs extra attention, but he made him feel right at home. He sent us daily updates with photos and made sure he took all his medications on schedule. The enclosed yard was perfect for his gentle exercise needs. We're so grateful to have found such a caring and professional sitter.”

“Samantha was fantastic! Provided lots of updates. Our dog was truly well cared for. 100% recommend”

“Lauren was excellent! She took great care of our two dogs for 4 days and shared plenty of updates with us the whole time, which we really appreciated. She spent a lot of quality time with them just hanging out, and gave our high energy pup lots of ball time to tire her out. We definitely recommend her!”

“Micah loves all animals so much! She especially loves dogs. Her dog Sugar is spoiled with attention and care. Sugar is a HIGH energy Wheaten Terrier and Micah has such patience with her. Micah also helped take care of my elderly mother’s dog. Her name was Babe and she was 15yrs-old with hip and vision issues. Micah would babysit her often until Babe passed on this year. I would trust Micah with any animal!”

“I cannot speak positively enough about Kenyetta and how well she took care of my pup and my home. She was kind, courteous, and attentive to Rocco’s needs, and left my house cleaner than it was when she arrived. I will definitely be reaching back out to her the next time I travel!”
