House Sitting in Forestland, 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.”

“Angela was amazing! She offered to do a meet and greet before sitting, which was perfect for my dog who is a little wary of new people. I also got plenty of updates and pictures. And I was able to enjoy my time away worry free because she was in such good hands.”

“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”

“Kate is such a wonderful, friendly, and professional person! She has gone above and beyond to make sure my two kitties are well taken care of when I'm out of town. (For real, she hopped a fence to make sure my babies were fed!) I'm so happy to know I can rely on her and have some peace of mind!”

“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!”

“Bianca did an awesome job. She was very reliable, sent photos throughout the stay and took great care of our place and the dogs. We definitely would use her again.”

“I couldn’t recommend Lauren more. She was excellent with my little guy, looked after my house beautifully and was very communicative.”

“Irina was prompt and responsive. She was attentive to the detailed instructions for my 17-year-old pup and executed them kindly and thoroughly. She sent pictures and updates. Reliable with heart!”

“Sophie did a fantastic job sitting for our house, two dogs, 6 chickens and many plants! She's a great communicator and enthusiastic pet lover. She sent daily dog photos and kept the house so clean it was hard to tell anyone had been there. I will highly recommend her for house and pet sitting!”

“Flannery is attentive, loving, and reliable. She stays in touch every day and is an amazing support for my almost 14 y.o dog while I'm away on travel. She takes care of his medication needs and takes him out on long walks and travel adventures. She is so sweet and sensitive with him and it's such a gift to come home to both my dog and my home having been well taken care of. So grateful!”

“Our dog Lottie was very happy spending time with Val, she sent us lots of photos of their adventures, always communicated promptly, and while this was absolutely not necessary, left out place sparkling clean.”

“Shanley is simply amazing. My old guy was perfectly relaxed when I returned home after several days away, confirming that Shanley took great care of him while I was gone. She also left the house in perfect order. She is the best!”

“Aviva is such an excellent doggy caretaker - she's thoughtful, kind, and a joy to work with. I'm told our basset hound made the rounds on Instagram and now his self-esteem is at an all-time high. Thanks Aviva!”

“Tea was great. Our Ozzy is a large and energetic Lab mix who loves to walk and run. We were away for 13 days and Tea took him on many trips to the regional park where he could run off leash. He has good recall and Tea was able to control him. We received pictures and updates every day from Tea about their daily activities. We could tell when we got home that they developed a good relationship. We highly recommend Tea.”

“Katie is literally a dog whisperer and is the most dog passionate person I know! She's watched my dog Lulu for us while we were away, and I had 10000% trust in Katie for not only taking care of Lulu's needs, but loving Lulu like her own pup! Katie is extremely knowledgeable of a variety of dog training methods for behavioral needs, and will keep a close eye on your pup all the time! She is so kind, reliable, communicative and passionate, and is one of the best.”

“Maja was great with our 16 year old cocker Henry who while not super active can be temperamental with new people and at his age needs special attention. He loved hanging with her and she was responsive and updating throughout. Highly recommend and will definitely be reaching out to her in the future.”
