House Sitting Montclair Business

“Ainjoy is a lovely person who really connected with my two dogs and cat. They were immediately comfortable with her, and she was very in tune with them. Ainjoy is reliable, warm, neat, and a good communicator. She left the house in perfect order when we returned from a five day trip. I highly recommend her as a pet sitter!”

“Cara recently took care of Ralphie when I had an unexpected dogsitter cancellation. It was awesome that she was able to come by for a last minute meet-and-greet - Ralphie really loved her and I liked that she is punctual, accommodating, and gave regular updates. I came home to a happy dog and a clean place!”

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.

“There aren’t enough words to express just how attentive and amazing Quishu is: Positive, dynamic personality with an ability to get zen when needed. She’s the kind of personality our beagles need. She followed all our doggie care and home instructions, it was such peace of mind. She sent frequent photos and videos which showed us that our adopted and often timid beagles trusted her, felt safe with her and were actually being their true goof ball selves. Most sitters think they’ll try to “fix” their issues which never works and creates a tense dynamic, but Qishu didn’t appear to judge us for all our instructions and expectations. She respected our requested level of care and the beagles and her bonded. Thank you Qishu!!”

“Fox was so great with my fussy old dog! He often gets stressed when I leave him and often will not eat or have GI trouble, but Fox kept him so comfortable that he didn’t have a problem! She sent lots of great pictures of him and I never had a worry. So grateful for Fox!!”

About: Animals have always been a very important part of my life. Growing up, my mother operated a small pet rescue and animal shelter organization in Asia, and from a very young age I helped care for rescued dogs, cats, and abandoned animals alongside her. Over the years, we helped rescue and rehome thousands of animals, many of whom came from difficult or traumatic situations. caring for animals feels completely natural to me. I do not see pets as “just animals.” I genuinely believe they are family members who deserve love, patience, emotional safety, and respect. In many ways, I believe animals carry one of the purest forms of unconditional love, and sometimes they deserve even more kindness and gentleness than humans receive. I have experience caring for pets with very different personalities, medical conditions, and emotional needs, including senior pets, rescue animals, anxious dogs, and cats requiring medication and special routines. I am highly attentive to behavioral changes, feeding routines, emotional comfort, cleanliness, and creating calm environments where animals feel safe and relaxed.

“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!”

“Laura was awesome with our pup Charlie! Sent us lots of pictures and updates and communication was a breeze. Will definitely book with her again!”

“Carly was great about giving me updates about my dog while I was away. He was happy and well cared for when I returned. She also left the house quite clean.”

Lauren S.

“Honestly there’s nothing I can say to convey how wonderful and at ease our dog was with him. He was attentive to our fur baby and treated him like we would. It was nice to enjoy our night out and not have to worry about our dog because we knew that Thomas was everything and more than we can ask for in a dog sitter. Our fur baby was truly in good hands.”

Haitham H.

“Cesar went above and beyond looking after our high-energy Dutchie, Meli. We were away for 10 days, and Meli had a great time. They went on long walks, adventures to Point Isabel, Fort Funston, and lots of ball-playing at the park. Cesar was a very welcome house guest, keeping everything clean and tidy while we were gone. We will definitely reach out to Cesar again next time we head out of town!”

Nicholas B.

“Kayla did a great job watching our dogs. We received plenty of updates and photos. Kayla was flexible in giving our dog medication Kylo received right before our trip. The whole process was very smooth and we will definitely book with Kayla again!”

Tatijana B.

“Christine is truly wonderful! Whenever I come home, my dogs are relaxed and happy, which I believe is thanks to her caring attention while I'm away. She always keeps me in the loop, which I really appreciate. Thanks so much, Christine!!”

Thomas C.

“Josie was great, spent 5 days taking care of our home and our two pups. Gave regular updates, and left the house immaculate. Thanks Josie! Hope to have you help us again in the future!”

“Tami was the absolute best! She sent me lots of pictures and updates on Maggie while I was on vacation and made sure she got plenty of walks and pets and cuddles! I could not recommend Tami enough.”

Jessica S.

“Jena watched our dog Addy at our home for 5 days over 4th of July. Both Addy and the home were well taken care of. I recommend Jena, and will use her services again in the future.”

Scott S.

“Jay took excellent care of our beloved, elderly fur baby! ? They were very patient with our sweet boy, who has several unique needs as he’s aging. Jay was also very patient with me, a somewhat anxious dog mom, and sent me plenty of adorable photos and updates throughout their 4-night stay in our home. I felt completely at ease, knowing our boy was receiving exceptional and attentive care from Jay. It allowed us to fully enjoy our trip away. Our home was also left in great shape. I have high standards for pet/house sitters, and I highly recommend Jay!”

Elisha M.

“Barbara has taken excellent care of both of anxious/reactive big dog, and our home while we have been out of town. She is reliable and so helpful, I never have concerns leaving Rocky in her care. I recommend her to anyone looking for care for their pups!”
