House Sitting in Gaskill, 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.”

“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!!”

“Vivyana was very responsive and took great care of our energetic dog! She even took him out for a long walk. Would definitely recommend her!”

“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”

“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!”

“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.”

“Ida is great! She took my boys on fun walks and sent me many many updates thru out the days. They look like they had a great time! She also organized my house and left everything super clean!”

“Emily did such an amazing job with Kona. He experienced some pretty severe separation anxiety while she was with him and she handled the situation with so much kindness. Emily, we are so grateful for you!!”

“Jo was amazing with my Bunny girl! Bunny is a puppy and is an energetic, playful handful. Jo was very sweet to her and didn't complain about the near constant mess I know Bunny made. She sent me pictures throughout the night which helped me feel at ease for my first night away from Bunny. She was flexible with time - I realized I needed to leave earlier than expected and she was able to accommodate, which I really appreciated. I will absolutely use Jo for puppy sitting in the future. She's FANTASTIC.”

“Strongly recommend Linda to anyone looking for a pet sitter! Linda provided us with daily updates and bonded immediately with both of our cats. One of our kitties can be a bit shy, but she warmed up to Linda right away! Thank you so much Linda!”

“Emilia was fantastic with my cat Ravi! She has a lot of experience with and love for cats and it showed! She communicated with me when needed and provided regular updates and sweet pics. Hands down I will work with her again.”

“Kaumron was an excellent pet sitter and house sitter for my anxious senior dog and 2 cats! Kaumron is a pet owner himself, and his sensitivity with caring for pets really came through. He came through in a pinch with my last minute request, even stopping by for a run through before my trip to meet the animals. He asked lots of questions and was attentive to all their needs (medications, sensitivities, personality quirks of each pet), which made me feel really assured that the babies would be well cared for. He sent updates and pics of my pets while I was away to keep me informed. I was nervous about my dog’s high needs with frequent medications and her anxiousness with new people, but Kaumron was gentle with her and really listened and followed through with how to work with her needs. It was an overall wonderful first time pet sitting experience for my highly sensitive dog (and me!)”

“Alanna is fantastic! She was on time, gave regular updates, asked all the right questions, and we came home to a happy dog. Couldn't be happier!”

“We have used Lexa several times for waking, house & dog sitting and she is the BEST! We always know our babies are in good hands with her. Whenever we come home from trips out of town they’re so tired from their activities with her. Lexa is great at communicating while we’re gone and very respectful of our home. We will continue to use her, I can’t recommend her enough!”

“Ecem was great with our pup, Louie! We contacted her last minute and she was super responsive, flexible, and punctual. Louie can be a bit anxious when we leave but he warmed up to Ecem almost instantly and we could tell he was very comfortable in her presence. We would recommend Ecem to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate caretaker for their pets.”

“Alison genuinely loves and understands dogs better than almost anyone else I’ve ever met. She is kind, attentive, affectionate, and authoritative when need be, and as a result is adored by dogs and humans alike. I trust her to wrangle my family’s rambunctious and mischievous Aussie, and both smaller and bigger dogs as well. Alison is the best!”

“Paula did a fantastic job as our dog sitter. Great communication and she was really good at managing our nervous dog. We were so happy we picked Paula to dogsit for us!”

“I have known Illia for almost a decade and he is a Dog and cat whisper 😀They love him so much! Coming from Europe he is in love with the long walks in the parks and neighborhoods, he has a huge experience with the girl boxer breed!”

“Lena is without a doubt the best, simple as that! Very attentive and open communication; sent multiple updates, pictures, and videos daily. My wife and I weren’t worried for a second, and Marvin has never smiled that big with another human!”
