House Sitting in Golden Gate, Oakland

“Madeline has stayed with Harley multiple times now, and she’s been incredibly attentive to his needs, communicative about how he’s doing, and flexible. She’s an awesome sitter that I’m glad Harley and I can rely on!”

“Hiring Charlii to care for our two 13-year-old dogs for eight days was one of the best pet-related decisions I've ever made. Our sweet goblins are rescues with pretty complex medical and emotional needs, and Charlii handled it all with ease. One of them struggles with being left alone for more than short periods of time, and Charlii was great about hanging out with him and taking him on little adventures when she needed to be away. Our other pup is dealing with chronic kidney disease, she can be a mess (literally), but it didn't seem to phase Charlii at all. Her daily updates were frequent, including lots of photos and videos, which really helped me relax and enjoy my vacation. She handled medication (including oral) with no problems and was very attentive to all of their other needs & quirks. We also returned to a tidy house and even some welcome-back flowers, which was lovely! After the pups joined our family and we discovered how needy they were, I was afraid that I'd never be able to leave town again. I knew there was absolutely no way I'd be comfortable boarding them after the trauma they'd experienced with abandonment and living on the streets. Charlii saved us! It was such a relief to know our guys were safe, healthy and getting lots of love while we were away. We'll definitely be having Charlii back. She has such a warm, professional demeanor and is so reliable that I'd never hesitate to recommend her. The pups and I are super grateful!”

“Wow, what to say about Grace? Nothing but good things! My partner and I went on a 9 day trip to Europe and, before we went, I was extremely nervous. Like most people, our 2 dogs (and 1 cat) have a very particular schedule and I was so worried that no one would be able to take care of them the way WE did. I’m so happy to say that Grace immediately put those fears to rest. At my request, she sent twice daily updates, along with photos, showing her adherence to the pets’ routines. We still retained our dog walker and he had nothing to report but positive things about Grace and her care of the animals. We even had a friend stop by (did I mention how nervous I was???) and she had nothing but good things to say about Grace. Grace took all of my instructions and nerves with aplomb, and, dare I say it, grace. We’re so happy with her services and hope she will sit for us again soon!”

“Laura was great with our two dogs! She stayed at the house, provided regular updates and they seemed very happy. Our regular dog walker also said she was fantastic. 10/10 recommend!”

“Tanitsha is wonderful and easy to work with. She stayed with our pup over a long weekend and I felt so comfortable having her in our home. She was very responsive and kept us updated with lots of photos and videos. We will definitely use 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.”

“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.”

“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!”

“Linda was such a kind, calm, accommodating sitter! She sent photos of the cats every day and I watched them become progressively more comfortable and snuggly with her. She also left the house in really good shape, and was super understanding about rebooking when we found some friends to catsit for us for part of the time we had originally booked her for. She really took the stress out of leaving our cats at home while we were traveling!”

“Sam house and pet sat for us when our regular dog sitter was no longer available. We have one pup who is very skittish and we have not had good luck leaving her. She loved Sam immediately! Sam sent us pictures of daily walks, kept our home beautifully, and baked us cookies on our return. I cannot recommend him enough. Fabulous!”

“Maggie was amazing! Our puppy absolutely loved her and she went the extra mile to take care of him while we were out of town!”

“Asha did a great job of watching both our house and our three pets. We came home to a clean, well kept house and happy, healthy pets. Asha was punctual, conscientious, communicated well with us and was very good with the pets. I will definitely use her again, and I highly recommend her.”

“Vivyana is really kind and professional. Our dog enjoyed spending time and playing with her. We’ll definitely reach out to her again.”

“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!)”

“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!!”

“Lena is so wonderful, and our dog absolutely adores them. Lena has fantastic and frequent communication, asks thorough questions to ensure that they've got all the nuances of individual dog care, and is a true and genuine animal lover. We've already recommended Lena to our neighbors, and we recommend Lena to you!”

“Lexa is so great! Very trustworthy and kind. We felt very confident leaving her in our home, and with our fur babies. She is knowledgeable, assertive and a great communicator. We are so relieved to have met Lexa and feel like the weight of the world is off our shoulders finding such a great dog sitter we can trust”

“Zay has boarded and/or walked my two small dogs over the last few years. She is very reliable and has been able to keep up with my aging dogs different needs for medication, and walk schedules. The dogs come home happy every time!”

“So very pleased with Alison’s service! She was prompt, courteous, kind, and so knowledgeable with my beloved dog. You can tell she has a real passion for pet care! She sent texts with pics and an update on how the dogs were doing at each visit. I would recommend her highly to anyone!”
