House Sitting in Mosswood, Oakland, CA

“Ashley is awesome! She came to my home and took care of my brand new puppy, who has quite a demanding schedule. I was a super anxious new puppy mom and she put me at ease, kept me updated, and was super flexible and accommodating. Basil loved her and I felt like he was in great hands. Absolutely recommend!”

“Yena did such a wonderful job watching our dog Chester while we were away for a long weekend. She was very communicative and made sure to share updates (and photos!) with us throughout the weekend. She even watered our plants all three days and left us some precious instax photos of Chester! We look forward to hiring her again- she’s very responsible and Chester clearly loved her!”

“Dennis was a wonderful house and pet sitter for us while we were away for a week. He took good care of our two dogs and two cats so we could actually have a relaxing vacation, knowing they and our home were in good hands. We will definitely book him again.”

“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!!”

“This was our second time trusting Nicky to watch our dogs, and she did a fabulous job once again. During our week-and-a-half international trip, she kept us updated with plenty of photos and updates—our dogs always looked happy and healthy. When I returned, the house was tidy, the dogs were freshly brushed, their eyes were clean, and their water bowls were full. I couldn’t have asked for more peace of mind while being so far away. I have no complaints and would absolutely hire her again!”

Aisha B.

“Matt is always great with our dog, Elliott. He was very responsible with Elliott's medication schedule and attentive to his emotional needs. I'll be re-booking Matt for our next trip as well. Thank you, Matt!”

Elizabeth F.

“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!”

“If there were 6 stars, I'd give them to Hollie. She is the epitome of conscientious, responsible, and caring. Our flight home was delayed and she even changed her plans so she could stay longer. Our shih tzu loves being with her - from a drop-in walk to a 3-night stay - and we're eager to have Hollie back as soon as our next need arises. I cannot recommend this sitter more highly.”

Holly O.

“Charlii was amazing during the 3 weeks she house sat for us and our 3 pets. She sent daily updates and pictures/videos and took terrific care of both our animals and our home. She is calm and sweet, and extremely communicative. This was truly the best house/pet sitting experience we had. We couldn't recommend her more!”

Nancy J.

“Samantha was incredible. Miura had an ear infection that required a trip to the vet while I was gone for a week, and Samantha was extremely communicative and helpful through the whole process. She took Miura to the vet, picked her up, and did all the ear drops necessary. Miura can be an anxious pup so I was worried about having someone else take her to the vet, but everything went super smoothly with Samantha taking her. I highly recommend Samantha as a sitter!”

Alexandra D.

“Angela was amazing! She offered to do a meet and greet before sitting, which was perfect for my dog who is a little wary of new people. I also got plenty of updates and pictures. And I was able to enjoy my time away worry free because she was in such good hands.”

Nina F.

“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!”

About: I have pet sat for many acquaintances over the years, as well nannying which included caring for family pets. I also have two cats of my own! I am currently wfh freelancers, I have plenty of availability in my schedule to care for other peoples furry guys! I have too small of an apartment to have a dog of my own - so my own pet care would never get in the way. I play with my cats every morning and night for at least two hours a day. I believe in a healthy diet for all animals, as well as providing an enriched home life for all domesticated animals. I am proudly in tune with an animal's body language and how the all vocalize their needs differently.

“Elisa was tremendous with our senior shepherd. She was communicative and engaged from the moment we met her and throughout her stay with our dog. Our dog had the best weekend and was so well loved. Elisa was also kind enough to take great care of our place and take in packages. What a great experience and we look forward to working with her again!”

“I had Esteban house sit to look after my big, rambunctious dog Sable for 6 days. Not only did Esteban take amazing care of my dog, he left the house in incredible condition. All my dog’s needs were met, and he sent regular pupdates. I’m a very anxious person and it was my first time using Rover, but Esteban put me at ease and I am so glad I decided to go with him. I would 100% use Esteban again if I ever leave town. I believe it’s safer and easier on my dog than boarding her at a dog hotel. You da man, Esteban!”

Casondra B.

“Honestly could not have found a better pet sitter! She really took care of our little crew like they were her own. We came back to stress free, happy pets, which for our needy little lovea isn’t always the norm. Joanna was beyond considerate and sent lots of pictures which showed just how well cared for they all were. Cannot recommend highly enough!”

Martina A.

“Marina is great! She house/dog sat my two small older dogs for three nights. She is/was dependable, trustworthy and respectful of my house with all its little quirks. If I had a question, she answered right away and sent pictures. The house was as clean as if I'd never left. I was able to enjoy my vacation with no worries about my little dogs. My dogs were very calm and happy when I returned. I doubt they missed me at all. I would definitely hire Marina again.”

Torre D.

“The perfect match for our active sweetheart. Imani did a great job caring for our pittie mix who loves life and people. She provided all necessary care for her and even went above and beyond with a couple of house hold chores that she proactively saw and did. Would definitely use her again - Ava loved her!”

About: Active sitter who grew up with rescue dogs and understands their needs with both empathy and care. Experienced in house‑sitting for dogs—matching their routines while you're away. Energetic and ready for jogs or scenic nature drives to keep tails wagging. Also have experience house sitting for cats. Am available for early morning/evening walks in Oakland; able to house sit in the Danville/San Ramon area as I work nearby! Weekends are very available. Unable to offer services in my own home, but understand the importance of keeping dogs on leashes in non-fenced areas, and making sure that all doors, potential areas to escape are closed! In addition I will ensure that any potential hazards are prevented, and that areas are clean and sanitary for pets. I also can provide frequent updates and photos if you would like

“Christina is amazing!!! She has phenomenal communication when we are away and provides us with updates to let us know both she and our pet are doing well. She leaves the house spotless and is very prompt in her response time. We have booked numerous stays with her moving forward - she is simply the best!! We highly recommend Christina for her services and are so glad we found her on Rover!”
