House Sitting in Melrose, 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.”

“Thanks for taking such great care of Sofia!”

“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!!”

“Dea was extremely professional and knowledgeable of our dog’s needs. She made us feel very comfortable and was a great communicator. We definitely would recommend her services and would love to book with her again.”

“Lady loves Melina! Melina is very friendly and relaxed, our puppy Lady is very comfortable with her, and she’s also very knowledgeable which is great for new puppy parents like us. Thanks Melina!”

“Alyssa was incredible! She took amazing care of Pip, was super communicative, and went way above and beyond! I felt 100% comfortable knowing Pip was getting lots of love and attention while I was away!”

“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!”

“Bianca did an awesome job. She was very reliable, sent photos throughout the stay and took great care of our place and the dogs. We definitely would use her again.”

“Wish I could give more stars. Her attentiveness to all details of our dog Pippi and cats Vincent and Mia. Her caretaking of our animals AND our home. Her communication/pics while we were away - so so so reassuring and heartening. We came home to a happy dog and cats and a spotless house, including fresh sheets, which she'd requested she wanted to do. *sigh* She is a wonderful sitter and person. We are so so grateful!!”

“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.”

“Stephanie came through extremely last minute for my family when we were in desperate need of help! It was a stressful situation and she came in and saved the day while all family members were out of town. Thank you so much for taking care of Finn, we are grateful for you!”

“Hans is very loving with my two cats and I feel completely at ease leaving them in his care. He seems to have a special rapport with them and is able to coax my shy one out. Hans is certified in pet Reiki and that is something he’s happy to provide as a bonus. The cats seem to respond favorably. Hans is very dependable and good at keeping in touch with me. He will do whatever is asked and he genuinely seems to love animals. I would recommend him without hesitation.”

“Devyn is very trustworthy and reliable which is incredibly important. Moreover, she is very friendly and easy to work with. We highly recommend.”

“I couldn’t recommend Lauren more. She was excellent with my little guy, looked after my house beautifully and was very communicative.”

“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!”

“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.”

“Caleb was thoughtful and attentive with our 1-year old energetic puppy. Our dog immediately loved him and then we got daily updates and knew that Caleb was taking good care of our dog. He house-sat and we will definitely want to have him back!”

“Osaze was great with Arthur. He was communicative, prompt, and an all around great dog sitter. Highly recommend him for your dog sitting needs!”

“Maria (aka Lupe) is a wonderful dog/cat/house sitter and truly is a dog person. Very easy going. She took such good care of our fur-loves including walks and/or dog park and communicated with us. Thanks Lupe!”

“I cannot recommend Ethan enough as a dog sitter. He took care of my dog Nico while I was away, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. Ethan's love for dogs is evident in the way he interacted with Nico, making him feel comfortable and loved. He provided regular updates and photos, ensuring that I knew Nico was having a great time. Ethan's professionalism, reliability, and attention to detail were exceptional. I felt at ease knowing that Nico was in such capable hands. If you're looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter, Ethan is the one to choose.”
