House Sitting in Hawthorne, 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.”

“Lauren was incredible with my cat while I was away! She sent photos of every visit and kept me updated so that I didn't worry at all. She spent plenty of time petting/brushing my cat too so I know she wasn't lonely. She even scooped the litter boxes so that my cat was as comfortable as possible. Would definitely book Lauren immediately the next time I'm out of town!”

“Melina was a huge help in a pinch when my sitter cancelled. She was attentive and sweet with my pup and sent many pictures and updates throughout the day! Would love to have her help again and recommend her greatly!”

“Thanks for taking such great care of Sofia!”

“Dea was so great with Loki, I could tell from the photo and video updates that he was very comfortable and happy! Would absolutely rebook her services again and would definitely recommend Dea to anyone!”

“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!!”

“Alyssa is great! Jumped right in and was up to the challenge of caring for our puppy (house training, teething, mega energy, etc!)… She was super communicative, providing updates throughout our time away, and left our house spotless. We’re excited to work with Alyssa again, and highly recommend her for excellent, thorough care of your beloved pet(s)!”

“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.”

“Jill was fantastic! We got updates every day with photos, activity updates and cute comments. I our dog got plenty of exercise and was taken to all kinds of places. She also paid lots of attention to our shy cat. When we came home, our house was immaculate and our dog almost didn’t want to leave her side! ( he finally figured out who pays for his treats?) We would hire Jill again without hesitation!!!”

“Anais did an amazing job of taking care of my dog and two kittens while we were out of town. She sent me photos, kept me informed with regular updates of how everyone was doing, and even noticed a potential health issue that I am having checked out. Can’t recommend her enough!”

“Cathy is very communicative and I did not stress knowing she was taking care of things on my homefront. She's very nice and my house was pristine when I came home. Thanks Cathy!!!”

“Wow, where do I start? Jana is such a great sitter, super communicative and anticipates my cats and my needs before I even ask them. She really sees my cats unique personalities, and I can tell from the photos she shared that they really trust her. She got my shyer cat who typically hides for days to sit with her on the very first day! She left my house sparkling clean. I trust Jana completely.”

“My dog is usually wary around strangers, and he was happily jumping up on Molly the first time he met her! I felt completely secure leaving him in her calm, capable care for almost 2 weeks. Molly was wonderfully communicative throughout the entire process, including sending photo and video updates. She also had to deal with unexpected crate rest the last three days when my dog happened to have a flare up of a condition during her stay. She dealt with taking him to the emergency vet with incredible grace and compassion, stayed with him as much as she possibly could and kept me abreast of the situation. She also took beautiful care of my home. I would highly recommend her!”

“Katie was great with our two aussies for an overnight house sitting! they were tired and happy when we got home, and she left the house clean. Thanks so much Katie!”

“Went above and beyond dog and house sitting for my 2 pups. Christine gave lots of updates, sent photos and videos, and spent tons of time with our dogs. She took special care of our shy dog and played ball with our energetic terrier. She also left our house neat and clean! Have already asked her to watch our pups again.”

“Lauren and Justin were so great watching my Lucky boy! They kept me updated everyday and sent me the cutest photos while I was away and even left me some cute polaroids of Lucky when I returned home! I returned to a very clean house which made my long journey home so much better! I will definitely have them watch Lucky again because I know he loved them and felt super comfortable with his new friends!”

“Dennis is wonderful and we can’t wait to work with him again. He took great care of Bruno and our home. Dennis provided photos and updates on Bruno while we were away and our home was spotless when we arrived home. Highly recommend’”

“Emily did an amazing job of petsitting my two dogs. She sent pics and keep me updated while I was away. If anything came up she made me aware and she left the house tidy and neat. Ill def book her again!”

“Absolutely thankful that Hieremila was able to jump in last minute and give us peace of mind that our dogs were being properly cared for while we attended to a family emergency.”

“Kerri was great! She took the job on short notice, was on time, professional, and let us know how our pup was doing throughout her stay. We look forward to booking her again in the future. ?”
