House Sitting in Highland, Oakland, CA

“Angelique was flexible, communicative, and super loving with our dogs. She was willing to come walk/meet the dogs prior and get to know them and our house. Her messages during the trip were informative, reassuring and had pics to make it easy to know our pups were doing well. We’ll definitely be adding her to who we reach out to for future trips. Thank you!”

“Victoria was the best! She sent pictures daily and was extremely communicative. Our pets were well cared for! We will 100% be asking her to come back next time we are gone.”

“Dane agreed to dog sit for me at the last minute when my dog was having some health issues and I was worried about leaving him alone. Dane was so positive, friendly, and attentive! I will definitely seek him out in the future with any dog sitting needs.”

“Cathy is incredible. When my kitty fractured her kneecap days before I was going out of town, Cathy came to the rescue. She went above and beyond and my kittens love her.”

“Dennis was a wonderful house and pet sitter for us while we were away for a week. He took good care of our two dogs and two cats so we could actually have a relaxing vacation, knowing they and our home were in good hands. We will definitely book him again.”

“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.”

“This was our second time booking with G’la, and once again, she absolutely knocked it out of the park! She took care of our dog Finn and cat Tuna while we were in Mexico for our wedding, and knowing they were with someone they already loved made all the difference. Our boys adore her! It’s clear they feel safe, spoiled, and totally at home in her care. She kept us updated with sweet photos and thoughtful check-ins, and we came home to two very happy pets (and a clean house!). G’la is trustworthy, kind, and just really gets animals. We wouldn’t leave Finn and Tuna with anyone else. Five stars, every time!”

“Heather gives Meg and Simon so much love and attention when she's here. So much that my neighbors notice in a positive way. Heather also will do little things around the house like water plants, run the dishwasher, etc. She usually leaves my place nicer than I left it. I never have a worry when Heather is watching my two goofballs.”

“Jesika and Jyhikeen sat for our 3 rambunctious cats for 10 days, and were wonderful! Great, caring communication, daily photos, and we came home to a clean house and happy cats. We'd absolutely hire them again.”

“Erica stayed at my home and took great care of my two Tibetan Terriers. She was very responsive during her stay and sent pictures, which put my mind at ease. I came home to two happy babies and a clean home. I will definitely call on Erica again when I need a sitter.”

“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!”

About: I am very active and can accommodate to all petcare needs as I did with my own from puppy stage to old age and only aspired to give her the best life everyday! I trained my own pitbull to be sweet and gently with kids and all people that she worked for a school and was a therapy to most people. I currently work remote and have the ability to give your pet lots of attention if needed and to be active with them while you are away. At my own home, I have a lot of space for a pet of any size. My living space also has an outdoor shared yard that is enclosed to keep all the dogs safe and relaxing place to get some air and sniff around.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, birds, and fish since I was a child. I have trained reactive and high energy dogs and also love calm, snuggly types. I am excited to take your pet on long hikes or runs or to just spend time hanging out at home. I love them all! I am most available on the weekends but can house sit during the week where WiFi is available! As long as I can work from your home! I can care for your pet by taking them on walks, hikes, or dog park adventures. I can also stay with your pet at your home. I don’t bring folks’ pets into my home.

“Kerri was super communicative, so clearly loved spending time and taking care of my cats. Super respectful of my home and initiated help with the trash day. Will definitely request her help in the future. Thank you Kerri!”

“Daria stayed in our place with our dog and cat for a week. Unfortunately, our cat became sick during our travel, and she promptly informed us about the situation. She took our cat to the vet, followed instructions about the treatment, and sent us timely updates. She is very caring and went above and beyond attending to our sick cat. Also, she left our house clean and in order. I highly recommend her.”

“Diana helped us out last minute by watching Ralphie a few days before Christmas. She communicated regularly with us throughout the stay and brought walking outfits for Ralphie. We’re very grateful to her!”

About: One of my first memories is of adopting a stray that we named Chiqule (Gum, in Spanish) because he decided to stick around. Ever since then I’ve picked up many of our four legged friends and made them family dogs. Many years since having my own pet, my love for our furry friends has yet to dwindle and I continue to pet-sit and house-sit just for the opportunity to hang in with a little fur ball. I have experience with a small senior dogs and dogs who have required medication, 3+ walks a day, or an extensive park visit. I’ve house-sat and makes sure to build my schedule around my four-legged, temporary bestie to ensure a stress-free time. I like to establish constant communication and updates with the pet-parent to make sure all is well. I regard play time highly but makes sure to only ruff-house and much as per-parent sees fit. Cuddles are optional but recommended. I my work hours are 8:30-5 but travel form Berkeley to Hayward so I can pop in within that 15 mile radius! My weekends are a lot more flexible. I make sure to follow a requested guideline and/or care checklist from pet-parents. I make sure to scope out the potential yard for any hazards and establish some trust with pets before going out on our first walk. If treats are allowed or provided, I will reward my furry friend when I see best on our initial walks to establish trust and respect. Play-time is important and can also be carried out as the pet-parent sees fit.

“Alyssa is an incredible sitter who pays close attention to detail and asks a lot of questions to better understand your pet's schedule. I couldn't have asked for a better sitter!”

“Nicole was fabulous! my inbox stayed busy with postings about what was happening back home with my little dog, starting with his sadness at my departure, on through his playtimes and walks and naps until the last night when he moved into bed with Nicole, sign of total surrender to her charms! Each posting included wonderful photos so that by the end I had a portfolio as if from a professional photo-shoot! memories to treasure! I was welcomed home by a happy, healthy pooch I had been hesitant to leave with anyone --thanks to Nicole, he did great!”
