House Sitting in Lynn-Highland Park, 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.”

“Dea was great with our senior pup and I felt confident that he was in good hands. Dea is easy to communicate with and provided photos and updates. We came home to a happy, sleeping dog and an immaculate house. 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!”

“Thanks for taking such great care of Sofia!”

“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!”

“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!!!”

“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.”

“Lauren is an awesome pet caregiver! She has watched my cats over ten times, and she is the only one I trust. Lauren is timely, responsive to my specifications, and my cats love her. Lauren often sends photos so I can see how happy my cats are, and spends quality time with my cats so I know that are cared for while I am. There's no one better to watch your pets than Lauren!”

“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!”

“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!”

“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.”

“Qishu was amazing with our high energy dog and extremely communicative with us. We received lots of updates and pictures over all the days we were gone. We would unreservedly recommend Qishu to anyone!”

“Lulia did a wonderful job of watching Mak. She sent lots of pictures and updates throughout her stay and checked in with us anytime she would be away from the house for a longer period of time. Overall, very happy with Lulia and would gladly ask her to watch Mak again!”

“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’”

“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!”

“We were so happy that Alyssa was available to watch our cat and house sit! She is super friendly and she clearly communicated with us during our time away. We got regular updates on our kitty and when we returned to our house it was neat and tidy. We would definitely book her again!”

“Our experience with Shanley was nothing short of amazing! She was our very first Rover/pet sitter experience. We are so thankful to have found her. She sat our 130lb Irish Wolfhound, Lando, at our house for two days. Shanley was very attentive to Lando’s schedule and took excellent care of him. She updated us on how he was doing, sent pictures, and always responded very quickly. We saw her a few days later so she could meet our other dogs, and Lando was over the moon to see her again! We definitely plan to use her for future trips”

“Hieremila was an awesome house guest and pet sitter for my dog Tam! I went out of the country for a little over two weeks for my cousin's wedding and was looking for a sitter who could not only keep Tam company throughout the day and at night but also cater to Tam's needs. My dog can be a bit reactive to new guests and other dogs; she is also on daily anxiety medication and can get frustrated when things don't go her way. Hieremila's energy and calm demeanor was very reassuring during our meet and greet so I felt good about leaving Tam with Hieremila. Though I'm sure there was an adjustment period, I appreciate Hieremila keeping in touch and communicating with me throughout my trip about how Tam was doing. Thanks Hieremila for sending both photo and video updates!! I also appreciate Hieremila working to keep Tam's attention as I know she can get pretty distracted out of the house and on walks. Also, thanks for jogging with her and introducing her to new dog friends :) Thanks for also looking after the house and keeping my plants alive! Much appreciated!!”

“Jillian was super for my old dog Shane. He immediately took to her on the meet and greet, and she quickly understood his personality and needs. Shane was very relaxed when I return from the two days away, indicating that her felt very comfortable with Jillian being here with him. She also left the house in very good order, including a couple of nice extra touches.”

“Sandy was AMAZING! She kept us updated with photos and videos of Hank's activities. She took him out on various adventures so he could live his best pup life. Sandy really showed she cared for our little fur-baby while we were away. When we got back home, Hank didn't even want Sandy to leave! Great sitter!”
