House Sitting in Laurel, Oakland

“Victoria was very calm, collected and kind. She was flexible with our last minute needs and able to handle our very high energy doberman puppy with ease. Will be booking again - 10/10!”

“Book her without hesitation! It was the first time that my husband and I were having a dog sitter over our house so we were a little anxious, but Melina was extremely kind and helpful. She was sending a lot of pictures and updates of our puppy while my partner and I were out. Our little Sansa loved her! Plus she gave us a lot of advices about training and puppy behavior! THANK YOU SO MUCH!”

“Kimberly has stayed with Paws on numerous occasions and things always go smoothly. Kimberly provides frequent updates and lots of photos - which I appreciate. Paws is a senior dog with special needs and Kimberly never misses a beat in taking care of him. Will book again.”

“Really great updates, including great photos of our dogs and cats enjoying their time with her. We arrived to happy animals as if we hadn't been gone.”

“Charlii was the best house sitter and pet sitter we’ve encountered. She was incredibly communicative and feeling about all the animals in our little zoo. She was able to do things we know were unpleasant for her. We’d hire her back in a second (if she’ll have us!)”

“We love working with Anais! Her care of our senior Schipperke, Maz, has been expert and attentive. Being 17 years old, Maz has a lot of needs and Anais has cared for him both during the day and overnight, and we've been so grateful for her attentiveness to him around his routine, his meds, and for making sure he feels taken care of and loved. We're so glad we connected with Anais and will definitely be contacting her in the future!”

“Ruby has been a fantastic sitter in my home for my doggies! They both absolutely adore Ruby! When traveling I always contact Ruby to watch my pups- you should see their tails wag when Ruby hits my doorstep-always a happy occasion! Ruby comes by at times to let them out and stroll them through the neighboring park when my schedule gets too impacted. I trust Ruby in my home and with my beloved pets anytime. Always cheerful and willing, completely capable with excellent demeanor -responsible and timely as well, Ruby is an excellent choice as a pet caretaker.”

“I have had the pleasure of knowing Leo both personally and professionally for the past 10 years, and I can confidently say that he is one of the kindest, most thoughtful, and caring individuals I have ever met—both with people and with dogs. He has an incredible way with animals, a true "dog whisperer," making even the most hesitant dogs feel comfortable and at ease. Leo has cared for many of our friends’ dogs, and I personally entrusted him to drive my beloved poodle all the way to Oregon to stay with my daughter. His reliability, conscientious nature, and deep sense of responsibility make him someone you can fully trust with your beloved companion. If you are looking for someone who will treat your pet with love, patience, and the utmost care, I cannot recommend Leo highly enough. Your dog couldn’t be in better hands!”

“Korin was amazing as usual. She took great care of our pup while we were away and shared regular updates/photos. Louie loved playing with her and was clearly tired and happy when we got home. Thanks, Korin!”

“My regular dog sitter had to cancel and Sarah replied my desperate call and came right to our house. She then became best friends with our dogs right away and kept them safe while We were away. THANK YOU SO, SO MUCH YOU ARE OUR SAVIOR!!! We would love you to come back !!!”

“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’”

“Sarah was easy to communicate with and very responsive! She took great care of our little chihuahua, ensuring she felt comfortable in the space and with her new dog sitter. Sandy gave Sarah lots of kisses and love when we picked her up - she didn’t want to leave! Sarah sent us lots of photos and updates while she was sitting, and it looked like they had a lot of fun together. Fantastic sitter, I will book with Sarah again!”

“Kerri was such a caring, communicative house and dog sitter. She was unfazed by Tibbie’s quirks and seemed to love him for him. Our house was tidy and taken care of when we arrived back home after a long weekend. Thanks so much Kerri!”

“I trust Hassan with my pups over anyone and know whenever they’re in his care he treats them like his own, making sure they’re well cared for, comfortable and safe. Every time my babies see him they get sooo excited and have the best time when Hassan is caring for them. 10/10 100% recommend.”

“Alyssa stayed in our home and watched our two dogs, cat and guinea pigs for three nights. She was very communicative and always very quick to respond to any texts or questions. She was also very accommodating, in regards to our schedule that ended up changing a bit. She was tidy and thorough. We will definitely love to rebook her in the future. Thanks Alyssa!”

“Qishu was a great, she clearly really loves dogs and cats and they love her. She was very reliable and easy to communicate with. She sent informative updates with pictures so we knew everything was ok. I would definitely book with her again!”

“We would definitely recommend Lei Lei for dog and house-sitting. Lei Lei is super knowledgeable about dogs and we could tell that she and our dog Milo became fast friends. Lei Lei was communicative and professional and left the house in perfect condition. We loved the photos and updates of their adventures, though as crazy dog parents we of course would have happily received more photos/videos.”

“Brenna took care of my pets and my house while we were on vacation for two weeks. She did an awesome job and I would highly recommend her! My animals loved her. She's friendly and smart, reliable and very responsible. You can trust her. She stepped in and took care of things and I was able to relax and enjoy my vacation. 5 stars!!”

“Rebecca has so far sat for both of my dogs twice, and I can confidently say she did a wonderful job. I have a 4-year-old dog and an 8-week-old puppy, and she came in really open minded to them both being at such different stages in life and not being used to many other people. She's really patient and was willing to help me out during an overnight work shift, which I really appreciate. I felt at ease knowing Rebecca was going to be there which allowed me to not stress over the pups while at work which is a wonderful feeling. I really trust her, and I look forward to working with her again in the future!”

About: I enjoy taking dogs on walks and hikes and to dog parks (if allowed). I currently give medications to my own dogs. I can board your furry friends or house sit. I have flexibility with my job and work from home two days a week. I am available mornings, evenings, and weekends. I am used to taking my dogs on morning and evening walks and mid day walks, weather permitting. NOTE: my 3 dogs are currently out of state. I have a fenced in back yard and my dog friendly cats are currently out of state. My cats are dog friendly but can be separated at my house if needed.
