House Sitting in Downtown, Oakland

“Melina was an amazing sitter and proved to be absolutely perfect for a week long house sitter for our dog who struggles with separation anxiety. She provided updates multiple times a day with photos and description of the days activities. She followed our instructions to a T and we could tell that our dog was super happy with the experience upon our return. Will definitely book Melina again if she is available when we need a sitter for a long weekend.”

“Korin sat for our 5 month old puppy and was amazing! She treated him with lots of love and as if he were her own dog, which we really appreciate.”

“Grace was an excellent companion for my dog, Panda, while I was out of the country. She sent updates each day, reassuring me that everything was going well. Panda seemed to really love her! She was communicative, left my home as she found it (maybe a bit better!), and was open for having multiple visits before hand so my dog could get to know her. I will definitely book with Grace again in the future!”

“Dennis was a pleasure to met and had a great attitude about taking care of our furry baby boy Petey. He did a great job! I would definitely recommend him and would use his services again.”

“Jennifer has taken wonderful care for both of my dogs. When my dog Anakin was sick with a brain tumor, I hired Jennifer to come walk him but also spend time with him so he wasn’t so alone while I was away at work. Jennifer has an amazing love and understanding with dogs and would highly recommend her. Now that I have a new dog, Jennifer has helped me out with walks and house sitting and she is trustworthy, sends updates and pictures, and is good left my place is perfect condition.”

“Gabrielle is great, Mony had a wonderful time and she kept me updated with photos and notes the entire time. Highly recommend and already trying to get her booked for my next trip.”

“Hyazinth was amazing! They spent 4 nights at our place with our elder terrier Henry. Hyazinth sent updates & pics (which we fawned over). They made sure Henry was walked, fed, and entertained. And kept the house in great shape too! Our first time with Rover & we made a great choice!”

“Qishu was great with my dog! She has a hard time warming up to new people and Qishu was very patient with her and gave her lots of extra TLC. I got lots of pics and updates so I knew she was in good hands. Would definitely recommend and book again!”

“Spirit was great ! She stayed at my home for the week with my 3 large babies. She kept with updated with videos & pictures. My house was clean as if she was never there. Will be booking future sits!”

“Liam has such a great energy around dogs! They’re immediately comfortable in his presence (including my large dog who can be very uncomfortable around new people) and he clearly has as much fun playing and spending quality time with dogs as they have with him. I would highly recommend his services!”

“Grey was awesome! He asked all the right questions, which helped put us and Pawlo at ease. He was genuinely sweet and gentle with him. We are looking forward to work with Grey again!”

“Jay was so wonderful with my dog Lolo. They truly went above and beyond to take care of him when he had a hot spot, and he was so calm and happy when I got back home. Jay is also a lovely person who very clearly loves animals.”

“We are so grateful that Elise was able to take care of our two dogs for a week! She was great at communicating regularly with us and kept us in the loop about updates during our whole trip. She was so sweet with our dogs, even when one of them started having tummy troubles, and we were very appreciative that she was there to make sure he was okay while we were gone. She's the best :)”

“Sid was an amazing house sitter for my 8 year old Husky (Snow). He’s a rescue dog and still reactive on walks. Sid took great care of Snow and my mind was at such ease during my 5 day trip. He kept me updated and my dog absolutely loved him. We did a meet and greet and I was already confident that he had sufficient training / experience to manage my dog who can be a lot of work. (Possessive, guarding, reactivity). I received regular messages and photos about their whereabouts and he was always responsive both before and during sitting. He went above and beyond standard care but really made sure my dog was exercised, and mentally stimulated by taking him on hikes and other adventures. I will absolutely book Sid again. If you are considering house sitting, in addition to taking good care of my dog, he left my house super clean and organized. Thanks Sid!”

“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.”

“Iris was amazing with our dog! She asked insightful questions in the meet and greet which made us feel super comfortable leaving her with our dog. We got daily updates and our dog seemed to have a blast with her!”

“Leila will take care of your pet like her own. Her home is set up well for both dogs and cats, and she takes the time to accommodate to your pet when needed. She communicates well throughout the whole pet sitting process and ensures your pet is safe and sound.”

“Mara grew up caring for animals, dogs, cats and birds. She is very responsible and cautious in her care and has cared for my animals many times over the years. Dogs and cats respond well to her. She has a calm and compassionate demeanor. I would not hesitate to use her as a sitter or walker. Sharon C”
