House Sitting in Durant Manor, Oakland

“Thanks so much for taking great care of Rollo and Keana!! The pups were well taken care of and it was obvious that Devyn and her daughter really loved dogs. Devyn was very professional, asked a lot of good questions that demonstrated her interest in providing great care for our dogs and our house was left very clean. Thanks so much!!”

“Ariena took great care of our pup while we were away. She sent lots of photos to help with my “mom guilt” so I knew that he was being well cared for. She stayed at our place and she left it well cared for! I will definitely be using her again for our future pet sitting needs!”

“Jason did an excellent job taking care of our Bernedoodle for 3 nights. Our pup has separation anxiety, and Jason patiently and creatively found ways to make him feel completely comfortable by the end of the trip. He even worked through some howl-inducing sirens and an unexpected smoke alarm..major thanks for that! If you’re looking for an extremely reliable, friendly and communicative dog-sitter, we highly recommend Jason!”

“Jene was amazing! She is very responsive and kept me updated throughout her stay with my pup. When I returned, my dog was relaxed and happy. Jene clearly took very good care of her :)”

“Megan took amazing care of our animals, including a 10-year old recent tripod dog. She was very attentive to our instructions, and we returned to happy animals and a spotless house. She regularly updated us with photos, which also helped with peace of mind. Many thanks!”

“Lea is AMAZING!!!! I have a 3 year old Boxer and a special needs Doberman. I have a difficult time leaving my dogs with anyone, but needed to for a work trip. I spoke with many pet caregivers and Lea stood out amongst them all. She was communicative, kind, reliable, and went above and beyond to care for my babies. I will 100% be working with her again!”

“Sarah is wonderful. She swooped in and saved me from a pet sitting situation gone wrong while I was out of state. Sarah cared for and loved on my fur babies as if they were her own and was respectful of my home. She is reliable and trustworthy, kind and caring, responsive and responsible. I will definitely be asking Sarah to pet/house sit again”

“Khala was a wonderful sitter for our 2 pups. She is very communicative and considerate. We felt very comfortable leaving our girls and home in her care. She gave the pups lots of love and attention, and it was very clear that they loved their time with her when we returned home. We would highly recommend her and most definitely will use her again to look after the girls. Thank you!”

“Stephanie came through extremely last minute for my family when we were in desperate need of help! It was a stressful situation and she came in and saved the day while all family members were out of town. Thank you so much for taking care of Finn, we are grateful for you!”

About: I grew up on a farm with many different animals and a dog kennel. I love animals but my city children are scared of most living things. Pet sitting or walking will let me get some much needed face to face animal time! I work from home and split custody with my kids so I've got time for walks and check-ins! Looking forward to getting some extra steps in with some pets who need it! I have pet sat for friends in their homes for up to a week at a time. I love detailed lists, especially when it comes with details about the pets personalities. I care deeply about emotional safety for people and animals.

“My dog can be a challenge to care for, he's wary of new people and gets scared on walks pretty easily. But Matt was great with him, very patient and gentle! He brought one of his own dogs so mine had a buddy and I was very happy about that.”

“Giselle did a great job house sitting for our dog over the weekend. Our dog seemed minimally stressed (we just moved and it’s hard for him to be in a new environment), she sent great updates, and left the house clean. Will definitely use her again!”

“Tina has taken wonderful care of our poodle for a last minute vacation. She is loving and attentive for our pup, as well as responsive and flexible with logistics. Thanks Tina!”

About: I’ve taken care of dog since I was 10. I currently have a beagle, I’ve potty trained her and I always find to take her on walks and especially to dog parks. I’m currently part time, so I have time in the morning and afternoon to take dogs on walks and dog parks. Weekends are pretty open for me as well I have a backyard with open space, I have a fence so they can’t get out. Also my beagle is outside most of the time and she’s friendly so they’ll get along.

“Melissa is a wonderful with animals. She trains and cares for her dog so well. Very mindful and compassionate toward all dogs and other animals.I’ve seen her raises her puppy and train her dog so well that she doesn’t even need a leash to walk her dog. Truly would trust her with all my pets.”

“I can't say enough positive things about Diana and her exceptional dog-sitting services. She stayed at our house with my dog for 9 days when we we were away. She indeed went above and beyond in caring for our furry family member. From the moment we met her, it was clear that she had a genuine love and passion for dogs. Diana not only provided the basic care we expected, but she also exceeded our expectations in every way. She engaged him in playtime, ensured he got plenty of exercise, cooked for him, and the list goes on. Plus, our house was sparkling clean! My dog loves walking and being outdoors. One time, my dog wanted to walk at midnight. I think he was looking for us and thought he would find us outside, and Diana did walk him at midnight. My dog loves the outdoors and likes to sit on a grassy patch, and Diana sat 1-2 hrs with him. She evidently formed a strong bond with our dog when we were gone. We highly recommend her to anyone needing a reliable and caring dog sitter. We will be reaching out to Diana for all our future pet-sitting needs. Thank you, Diana, for your outstanding service.”

“I would highly recommend Rosie to be a dog caregiver. Not only is she responsible, yet she is also really attentive and caring. These are all traits I would consider to be perfect for taking care of your animals. I have seen first hand how she has cared for her sisters dogs, for she acts just like they are her own. I know she would do the same for your animals. Your dog would be well cared for and loved in the care of Rosie.”

“Hello, From knowing Ian over the last 10 years plus I know he is a hard working caring smart individual. He graduated from college with a degree in Nevada which shows his hard work and focus to be the best he can be. He is caring because he always wants to know how people are doing and if there’s anything he can do to help others. He is very responsible and smart as well when it comes to serious situations at hand. Whenever he is around my dogs they love him because he’s always down to throw a tennis ball for them and play fetch. Ian would be perfect to help out a family who needs a helping hand”

“Contacted Simone for a very last minute late evening house sit so I could attend a pride event. She was easy to coordinate, came a little early to get a quick rundown on care of my very senior big dog. Giovanni was very immediately comfortable with her and they curled up on the couch.. She was very pleasant to chat with and connect with. Kept masked for when my housemate came in which we appreciated. Sent me pictures and updates to make sure I felt at ease and helped Gio out so she didn’t have an accident in the house before I got home… and she didn’t! Was super flexible and went above and beyond (I got in very late). Appreciated her and all her last minute coordination so this pup parent could have a sweet night out. Highly recommend!”

“Marlene did a great job taking care of Pepper after we were out of town for a week! She was punctual and made sure Pepper got plenty of snuggles. She also was very kind about bringing in packages and kept the house really clean and tidy. We will definitely book with her again!”
