“Michelle was absolutely fabulous! She was able to watch my two dogs on very short notice while I was in Oakland to visit family. My dogs loved her! She took great care of them, taking them on multiple walks throughout the day and providing attention when needed. She we be the first person I reach out to when I am in the Oakland area again. Thank you Michelle!”
“Bryanna was great! Ready to jump in and help in anyway possible. Took a last minute booking that REALLY helped us. Bryanna was more than happy to go over details with us before the sitting. All the questions Bryanna asked us about our dog and his needs made it apparent that our dog would be cared for while we were gone. We came back to a happy, tired, and well-cared for dog! Would absolutely book again 😊”
“Qishu was fantastic! She was so communicative and easy to work with, she made the time to meet me/our puppy first so we all felt good about the set up, she sent great updates that showed he clearly had the best time hanging out with her!”
“Tami was so great with our little guy! She was very communicative and sent awesome photos along the way so we could see how happy and at ease our pup was. Our pup had lots of attention, walks and snuggles! We will definitely hire Tami for future dog sitting! Thanks Tami!!”
About: While I'm new to Rover, I have over 10 years experience taking care of my friends and family's cats, dogs, insects, and plants. I'm excited to start this business on Rover and extend that pet/plant care to the people in my East Bay community! I'm a landscape horticulture student in Oakland, so when I'm not in class, working in my garden, or spending time with my own kitties, I love taking care of my friends, neighbors, and families' pets. They bring so much silliness and happiness into my routine! When walking your dogs or taking care of your pets in your home, respect, safety, and trust are my top priorities. The pet parents I work with know their pets best, and I take their guidance and wishes very seriously. When I'm housesitting, I treat clients' homes with even more respect than I treat my own.
“Meshaal took great care of our 55 lb pup and our cat in our home while we were on vacation! They were thorough in preparing for the job, very communicative while we were away, and followed all of our feeding and exercise instructions. We would definitely have Meshaal sit for us again!”
“Sasha is exceptional in every way. We are so grateful for her thoughtfulness and thoroughness when it comes to sitting our large breed puppy. She anticipates his behavior and is great with him. He is always happy in her care. Highly highly recommend Sasha for any dog care service, she’s the best! We are so grateful for her!”
“Hollie is the best. She's thoughtful, attentive, and communicative. She truly went above and beyond when some big challenges arose during her stay -- and our dog was still so well cared for. Thank you Hollie!”
“Adela is fantastic! Adela follows all my instructions and cares for my dog (Bowie) as if he was her own. Adela stays overnight at my home and she is super respectful, clean and kind. Highly recommend!”
“We lucked out having Dennis take care of our pup and home over a weekend. Dennis spoiled us with extra time to get to know our dog and care routine. Dennis was kind, thoughtful and loving to our kiddo, was extremely communicative, provided lots of updates and doted on our pup with lots of love and attention. We look forward to having Dennis again!”
“Josie was a great house-sitter! Very appreciative of her flexibility with scheduling, and she took great care of my dog, who’s still learning how to meet new people and be away from me.”
“Gabrielle really helped me out with a last minute dog sitting need and immediately put my anxious chihuahua mix at ease. Tons of updates and photos and let me know what his schedule was like when we got back. Thanks so much Gabrielle!!”
“Shivani was incredible and the best sitter we’ve had! She took such great care of our pup, our two cats, and our home. Our pup is fairly reactive and has some big feelings about the world, so it can be hard to find people she is comfortable with. She seemed to be quite at ease with Shivani and enjoyed her time with her! Our shy cat also loved Shivani! Shivani also sent a lot of updates about our pets, which was soooo incredibly helpful and really put us at ease while we were away! Truly can’t say enough positive things about her and we will definitely ask her to sit for us in the future!”
“Anais took excellent care of our pets and home while we were away for the weekend. Our dog can be a little finicky and needs a lot of company, but Anais was enthusiastic about getting to know his routine and we arrived home to find relaxed animals and the house just like we left it (she even washed her sheets - really not necessary!). Thanks Anais!”
“Jordan was amazing with my dogs. I have an energetic Olde English Bulldog and a big Saint Bernard that’s picky about who he trusts and she did very well with them. Took them on lots of walks outside and sent tons of cute photos while I was out. She even made an adorable hand drawn card of the two of them. I would highly recommend her if you need someone to watch your dogs at your place.”
“Alejandra was great on sending photos and keeping me updated throughout the day! As Samson gets older he has a lot of meds and needs but she did good job getting him to take all his meds. My apt was in the same condition as I left it.”

Sara was a wonderful cat sitter! This was the longest I’d ever been away from my cat Hopper but she put my mind at ease - Sara was a great communicator, sent cute photo and video updates, and kept on top of Hopper’s health. She also took great care of my apartment. Hopper definitely has a new bestie. I’d highly recommend booking with Sara!
Elisa was wonderful with our Chow Chow, Poppy. Chows can be a little reserved with new people, but Elisa was incredibly patient, calm, and understanding, which helped Poppy feel comfortable. She kept us updated with messages and photos throughout the stay, and it was clear Poppy was well cared for and happy. She also took great care of our home and was thoughtful, reliable, and easy to communicate with from start to finish. We came home to a relaxed dog and everything exactly as we left it, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We would absolutely book Elisa again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate sitter!! Thank you Elisa!
Feel so lucky to have found Rich! He took wonderful care of my dog, Tova. He sent daily photos and I knew she was in good hands while I was away. I came back home to a clean house and a thorough report on Tova’s behavior. Rich clearly loves animals and has a keen sense of their needs.
Tenzin stayed at my place and took care of my rescue dog for the weekend. She left my home even cleaner than she found it and truly went above and beyond with housekeeping. She did everything I asked in caring for my dog, but it's difficult to speak to how the stay actually went because there was little communication during or after the stay about how my dog was doing, how they bonded, and if there were any challenges or notable moments. That said, she was responsive when I reached out during the stay and got the sense that things went smoothly.
Adela has watched out two cats a few times now and she’s always so wonderful! She answers messages quickly, sends lots of pictures and follows all their care instructions so well ❤️✨she also house sits for us and sleeps overnight at the house to make sure its secure and our boys are safe! We highly reccommend her! ✨
Bryanna was A-MAZ-ZING. she sent me multiple updates a day along with photos and videos. My kitty can get sad and low energy when I travel, so it was so nice to see her engage burger with playtime and toys! My house was super clean after she left so will 100% be hiring Bryanna again!
Emilia and Ion are a super team! They do a great job for our weekly walks and an even better job as house & pet sitters! They visiting our two dogs 4x daily and generously kept them company inbetween visits too! They even watered our garden! I couldn’t ask for a single thing more in a sitter and will definitely be using them again
Rob was the BEST sitter. He went above and beyond in every respect -- from meeting the girls twice before his sit to make sure they were comfortable with him, to sending us pics and updates throughout his stay, to making sure our home was perfect upon our arrival, he exceeded our expectations. Our girls loved him, and they were happy, well exercised, and healthy when we got home. Definitely would recommend Rob as a doggy sitter for everyone!
Tim is amazing! Would rebook him anytime. Super detailed about care and directions, great updates and just overall made me feel at ease about leaving Louie, who has some senior special needs, in his care. It’s hard to find people that are as kind and thoughtful about your pet and home, but Tim is that person. Thank you so much.
Valerie was of tremendous assistance to me during a family emergency. Valerie house sat for me and was very respectful of my space. She was very responsive and communicative in taking care of my trio, which includes my deaf dog. I would highly recommend her for any pet care needs. I will definitely book her again as the need, and her availability, arises.
