House Sitting in Oakland

“Charlii is such an attentive, communicative, and thoughtful sitter for my 2 dogs and 1 kitty. They get tons of love and care while I’m away. She leaves the house clean and tidy. My pets all adore her, and so do I!”

“Victoria was the best! She sent pictures daily and was extremely communicative. Our pets were well cared for! We will 100% be asking her to come back next time we are gone.”

“Fulinag was amazing with our senior Golden Retriever, Daisy! He has arthritis and needs extra attention, but he made him feel right at home. He sent us daily updates with photos and made sure he took all his medications on schedule. The enclosed yard was perfect for his gentle exercise needs. We're so grateful to have found such a caring and professional sitter.”

“Kimberly, you are amazing! THANK YOU! Paws was super happy and well taken care of when I got home. You were patient with him and his "senior-related quirks". I am always apprehensive, and anxious when I have to leave him, especially because of his age. Your frequent updates, pictures, and videos alleviated a lot of my anxiety. I deeply appreciate that you took good care of my home and even tossed in a couple of loads of laundry. I would HIGHLY recommend Kimberly and will use her again in the future.”

“Samantha was fantastic! Provided lots of updates. Our dog was truly well cared for. 100% recommend”

“Aman was great house sitting our dog. It was our first time using Rover and I created some confusion but he was very gracious and helpful. Sent plenty of photos and was very communicative as we had a few unexpected packages show up. Even offered to was some dishes we’d left behind! Oh and our dog loved him. Wouldn’t hesitate to use him again!”

“Elise came highly recommended by a trusted friend, and she did not disappoint! She was great with my two pit bull mixes, who warmed up to her immediately, and she dealt with their anxiety and other quirks like a true pro. I came home to happy pups and a clean house. Couldn’t ask for better. Would hire again and recommend 10/10.”

“Hello, Louis deserves to become a dog sitter/walker through Rover because he’s great with dogs, he is actually the godson of my pit/boxer mix. He has been referred or asked repeatedly through family, friends and references to watch the same dogs because of client satisfaction. He takes them 2-3 times a day on extended walks , makes sure they take their medicine, looks after their daily health ( heat, exhaustion, water, comfort) plus he plays with them and cuddles. He is aware of his surroundings, respects owner privacy and their requests. Service with a smile.”

“He has a natural way with animals, always patient and gentle, and they seem to instantly feel at ease around him. Garret has watched my pets multiple times, and I’ve always returned to happy, well-cared-for animals. He’s reliable, communicative, and genuinely loves what he does. I’d recommend him to anyone looking for a dependable sitter or walker who treats your pets like family.”

“Kye was great! Went the extra mile to make sure I was comfortable before leaving Romeo with an in-person pre-meeting. Not only was I updated throughout the trip with cute photos and videos, my home was cared for and left in the same manner it was in before my trip. Thanks for great communication and care for Romeo!”

“Samantha took care of my 5 year old Vizsla pup for a multi day housesitting stay and was just incredible - her communication leading up to and during the stay was impeccable, she was punctual, attentive to details, sent me multiple pictures and check ins a day, took amazing care of the house, and overall just showered my dog with love and listened to every instruction I left and beyond. I would 110% highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy sitter. Thank you Samantha and I will definitely be re-booking with you!”

“Tony was great and kept in contact even though we had spotty reception. He came over 3 times to get to know Olive before staying with her since she has trouble with new people. We will definitely use him again! Thanks, Tony!”

“Dennis did a wonderful job watching my 13 month old Collie puppy. My dog is large and somewhat high energy and needs many miles of walks and Dennis did a wonderful job making sure that he got all of the mental and physical stimulation he needed. I got lots of picture updates, and felt very relaxed while leaving my dog while I was on vacation. Dennis also took great care of my home and was super responsive whenever I had questions. We did one meeting before I booked Dennis for the weekend, and then I booked him for one dog walk session before the Dog Sitting time because he was going to arrive after I had left. He was super open to everything and he reviewed my dog care instructions before I left. I felt like we had really clear really good communication. I’ve used several Rover pet sitters and Dennis is by far the best one that I’ve booked. I cannot recommend him enough! (unless you want him on the same weekend that I do and then I would still recommend him but I call dibs!)”

“Not only would Samantha be an awesome dog walker/sitter for your dog, she also has a dog herself so she knows what she's doing. She has also fostered several different dog breeds/mixes and understands how different dog breeds can act. Samantha is an experienced and amazing dog owner/dog walker. She takes them for the best walks out around the neighborhood or in the forest preserve. If you want a dog walker who not only takes your dog for fun walks, but genuinely cares and treats your dog right...then choose Samantha!”

“maddie is AWESOME. she arrived on time for our pre-sitting meet and greet, and was very attentive and asked all the questions why i gave her the run down on the cats, dog and home. i came home to happy animals and a home exactly as i left it. highly recommend booking maddie, she’s a super star”

“Sasha was so patient and wonderful with our 7mo large breed puppy while staying with him overnight for 3 nights. She was not only very attentive to him, but also upheld all my asks for caring for him.”

“Being a former coworker with Jayme, it has been a great pleasure being able to work with him. His knowledge of dogs definitely helped me and my understanding and their needs when it comes to working with them. He is able to read the dogs body language and emotional state which helps with preventing unwanted incidents.”

“Krystle is amazing! She stayed with my anxious dog Jemmy and my very little puppy Jeena while I took a vacation (which I almost didn’t do because of fur mom nerves lol). But the dogs immediately loved her and she took really wonderful care of them. I got pictures and videos! We love Krystle and have even booked our next time with her!!”

“Checkers seems to feel safe and loved whenever Melina cares for her. We love receiving photos while away. She’s a wonderful caregiver to our pup.”

“Cathy is incredible. When my kitty fractured her kneecap days before I was going out of town, Cathy came to the rescue. She went above and beyond and my kittens love her.”
