House Sitting Oakland

“Evan was terrific - great with the dogs, good communicator, and he left the house in wonderful condition. We booked him at the last minute and would definitely book him again. Highly recommended.”

“Christina took excellent care of our apartment, Casey cat, and Rowdy (a recently adopted 5-month old kitten we were nervous about leaving.) We got plenty of reports and pictures, and the cats were very mellow when we got home.”

Kathleen T.

“Elizabeth is always so great with my dog! I really appreciate the consistent pictures and updates while I’m gone, it really puts my mind at ease. This is my second time having her house sit and both times have been amazing!”

Kennedy C.

“I was very nervous as a first time Rover user and so happy I found Emily! She asked detailed questions about my dogs care and habits during our initial meet and greet which put me at ease, sent photo updates during her stay where he seemed very happy / comfortable with her and came home to a clean place. Would definitely book again!”

Shannon S.

“Eliana was absolutely amazing. My partner and I have a disabled fur baby with a number of special needs, and Eliana was incredibly diligent, asked all the right questions, followed our instructions closely, and took such great care of Miss Bean and our home. We came home to a happy, healthy pup and couldn’t have been more appreciative. I will absolutely be reaching back out for future travel plans. She was a dream to have stay with our fur baby!”

William R.

“Elizabeth was awesome! We have already booked her for an additional four stays! One of our pups isn't very trusting and tends to bark and lunge at new people. When Elizabeth came to meet them, she didn't even flinch. She remained calm and let Kona get adjusted which is exactly what Kona needed to feel comfortable. Elizabeth also sent us updates with photos of our pups while we were gone. We don't have kids, so our dogs are our kids and we, understandably, felt nervous leaving them with a new person. However, we felt so comfortable with Elizabeth and look forward to having her stay again in the future.”

“Zoe was so great with Mac and communicated well while I was away. I can’t thank her enough and would love to have her watch Mac again next time I’m out of town!”

“Jayden always does such a phenomenal job with my senior cat. My kitty is rather incontinent and very old, so naturally it is difficult to leave her with many people, but Jayden always treats her so well. They always ask specifically what my cat needs, keep me well updated, and my house cleaner than I left it. I never feel like I'm bothering them when I text and ask for updates. They really understand how hard it can be to leave your pet and that makes it so much easier to relax on vacation. Jayden is the only pet sitter we will use!!”

“Jasmine was amazing yet again with my dobie, Storm. I had some last minute emergency changes to my trip and her flexibility and understanding really put me at ease during a stressful time, I'm so grateful for her support! Super communicative, Jasmine took great care of my girl and my place too. Also, Storm is reactive to other dogs and I trust Jasmine to know how to deal with that. Highly recommend.”

Michelle S.

“Great communication and my pup loved hanging out with Elizabeth!”

“Samantha is amazing. She took care of my two Frenchies for 8 days in my home. She took over new training techniques for the puppy with no problem (with very little notice I might add). She took amazing care of my babes and left my apartment just as I’d left it. Love her!”

“Jorie was great with my anxious dog Bear! She was patient, calm, and gently assertive where needed and he felt very comfortable with her. He can be reactive with strangers and she handled him well. Bear fell into his normal routine quickly, and relaxed at home during the house sit.”

Sindhu S.

“Tylisha was great! Very responsive, prompt, lots of photos shared and Airlie seemed very happy when I got home. House was clean and tidy. Highly recommend!”

Dane C.

“Allison was great! She was very accommodating and communicative before the stay, and continued to be awesome throughout the stay. She sent pictures and updates throughout the weekend, which I really appreciated. We came home to a super happy pup and a very clean home! I will definitely be using Allison again and can’t recommend her enough! Thank you so much Allison!!”

“Alexis did such a wonderful job with our dog Murphy. Tons of video and picture updates and Murphy always seemed comfortable with her. Highly recommend!!!”

“Nadine house sat our 7-year-old pup during a five-day trip and took great care of her! She is great and very affectionate with dogs; my sheepadoodle instantly warmed up to her during our meet and greet. She was very communicative and sent many updates and lovely photos, which really put us at ease while away. I would definitely recommend Nadine!”

About: It's summertime in Chicago and that means you get two for the price of one! I am a work from home graphic designer who loves nothing more than a fluffy companion to supervise my work. And since school is officially out for summer, your buddy will also get to hang out with my husband Rob who is a school teacher on summer break. Since having to say goodbye our precious sausage boy last winter we have lots of love to share with your furry friend. I grew up in a home bursting with feline, canine, rodent, and reptilian companions so I have plenty of experience caring for all kinds of creatures. My last dog was a very anxious rescue pup, so I am comfortable working with pets who need time and patience while adjusting to new situations and new people. I love routine and am more than happy to follow detailed instructions to ensure your pet feels as comfortable as possible while you are away. If you have any questions, or if your pet has any special needs, please feel free to send a message! I work from home and am able to set my own hours, so it is no problem for me to adjust my schedule to fit your pet's needs. I'm a major homebody and perfectly comfortable spending all day hanging out at home keeping your fluffer company. During the summer months my husband Rob will likely accompany me which means double the companionship for your buddy -- with your permission, of course. Weekdays, weekends, evenings, it's all good! The more details you can provide about your pet's preferred routine and expectations, the better. I want to make sure they and you feel comfortable so I'll probably ask a lot of questions during our meet-and-greet. At this time I am only comfortable with animals under 30 lbs. I want to make sure I am able to lift and carry them if needed. Multiple dogs are fine so long as they have good leash manners and won't try to pull me in opposite directions.

“Kieanji is a great dogsitter! She was very patient with my anxious dog, asked good questions to help him feel comfortable, sent pictures, and was very responsive. Both times she dogsat my dog she arrived on time and tidied up before she left. Would definitely recommend! Kieanji!”

“Brianna was such an amazing sitter! She took great care of my two cats while I was out of town for a week, and sent multiple daily photo updates, making it clear she is a true animal lover. I highly recommend using her services, thank you so much Brianna!”
