House Sitting Oakland

“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.”

“This was our first time having Emily watch our fur babies and we couldn't be happier! She was fantastic!! Just came home to find 3 very happy pups and she also left the house and plants in amazing shape. We were gone for 10 days and received lots of great updates and pictures. We felt super comfortable leaving the pack in her care and will definitely request her again in the future. Thanks so much Emily!!”

“They were AWESOME! Immediately we hit it off talking about our mutual interests. My dog gets a bit hyper but Levi was able to demonstrate techniques to calm him down and quickly. Once I left they sent me regular updates and I never had to worry about whether or not my kitten and dog were in good hands. I really appreciate the time and effort they put into making sure I was updated. I’ve never used Rover but I definitely will again. I also will definitely be using Levi. Thank you so much for everything!”

“Kate was so wonderful with our dog! She was very communicative, sent plenty of photos and updates, and took great care of our space. We felt very safe with our dog in her care! Would definitely recommend!”

“They did an amazing job with my boys, and my boys loved them so much. They were super responsive and kept me updated throughout. I will definitely book them again in the future.”

About: I’ve always had a dog in my household and understand the need for love, play, and care. My parents have a samoyed and border collie, which are highly active dogs, and I make it my priority to spend time with them outside whenever I visit home. I’m currently unemployed so I’m available from 9-4 during the weekdays. I can also do weekends, but my schedule changes every so often but can be worked out! I have plenty of toys, trees, scratchers, and space to watch your pets. I do not use plug-in scents, candles, or any harsh cleaning chemicals.

About: I am a writer and artist by day and absolutely love animals! I'm looking to share my extra time caring for your furbabies! I have experience walking, feeding, monitoring, and caring for dogs (large-small, puppy-senior), reptiles, small animals (rabbits, guinea pigs, rats, hamsters, ferret etc.), I have my own pets including, two terrier mixed dogs, an American bull toad, and a free roam rabbit. I have cared for my family's dog as well. I am available during the weekdays, Monday-Friday mornings and afternoons. My weekends vary based on my availability but I can be flexible and discuss more in consultation. I have my own vehicle so I am able to check in and care for your pet, and help them at a moments notice in case of emergency's, I have a large fenced in yard at home that allows for plenty of space for your fur baby to explore, walk and play for a few hours.

“Danielle was amazing with my dogs! She was very patient, caring, and attentive to their needs. She kept me updated throughout their stay and sent plenty of pictures, which gave me great peace of mind. It was clear they were happy and well cared for. I highly recommend Danielle and will definitely use her again!”

“Arie has been a great sitter for my dog Millie. She is very responsive and truly cares for your pets, sharing fun moments and asking questions when they come up. I’m very grateful for Arie’s help when I have to travel for work, and I know my girl Millie loves when she comes to visit and play! ☺️”

Isabel C.

“Arsema is fantastic! We had a last minute business trip and she was able to take amazing care of our dog and cat and was a great communicator. Nothing is better than coming home to happy pets and the house in great shape! Thanks Arsema! Highly recommend!”

About: I am experienced in very detailed pet care instructions and understand that those pets have unique needs. I have experience with administering medical supplements, adhering to specific feeding schedules and portion requirements. I have followed individualized activity plans and routines for both dogs and cats. I want to provide the consistency in a pets routine while their owners are away. I promote owner-established potty training methods in regards to 6 months and older potty training behaviors. My approach combines reliability, patience, and genuine affection for animals while providing pet owners with confidence that their pets are receiving attentive and compassionate care in their absence. I am a Retired NCAA WBB coach so I have time to care for your fur family! I Can adjust to your pets favorite routine! I stay in your home so that your fur family is in their most safe space! I stick to their routines and routes! I can include new enrichment activities and stick to what works for them! I understand crating and routine! I have also slept w 4 animals in bed so that were very supported during the owner’s mini vacation.

About: I’ve taken care of a variety of pets, from puppies, kittens, small dogs, large dogs and more. Senior dogs with medicinal needs are a breeze! I work remotely and have plenty of time to play with your pups and cats! I have two pups of my own who hang out with me and my partner all day! I have a fenced-in yard and two friendly pups who love to sun bathe. We love a game of tug or fetch and we love to snuggle.

About: I've been around animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up, there was always a dog or cat around, so being around pets has always felt natural to me. When I moved to Chicago, I adopted my two cats, Milo and Buzz, and they've become such a huge part of my life. As a cat owner, I know how important it is to trust that your pets are being cared for when you're away. I've also looked after dogs for family friends while they've been out of town, helping with walks, feeding, playtime, and making sure they're comfortable in their normal routine. I'm comfortable giving oral medication, following detailed care instructions, and caring for pets with different personalities and needs. More than anything, I just genuinely love animals. I believe we're a huge part of their world, and I want to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for until they're excited to see their best friends walk through the door. I work in an office during the week, but I'm available for visits before and after work and can sometimes be flexible during the day depending on the situation. My weekends are generally much more open, which gives me plenty of time to spend with your pets. I'm mainly interested in cat care, drop-in visits, and house sitting. If I commit to caring for your pet, you can count on me to be dependable, communicative, and attentive to their needs. Leaving your pet with someone else can be stressful, and I don't take that responsibility lightly. My goal is to make the experience as easy as possible for both you and your pet. I'll respect your home, follow any care instructions you provide, and make sure your pet gets plenty of attention and care while you're away. I'll also keep you updated with messages and photos, because as a cat dad myself, I know how much those updates mean when you're missing your buddies.

“maia was wonderful, very communicative and respectful. peanutis an anxious dog and she was nice and calm when we got home. will definitely be booking her to hang out with peanut again”

“I genuinely cannot say enough good things about Cornelia! She is incredibly communicative, always keeps me updated, and makes being away from home so much easier. My cat absolutely adores her (to the point where I’m starting to think he prefers her over me). Even my neighbor went out of her way to tell me how lovely she is! I’ve booked Cornelia twice now, and both times I’ve come home to a house that was somehow in better shape than when I left it. It’s the little things that really set her apart. She’s checked for street-cleaning signs, moved my car, brought in packages and kept me informed, and watered my plants. She’s incredibly thoughtful, reliable, and proactive, and genuinely cares about both my cat and my home. At this point, Cornelia feels more like family than a pet sitter. I honestly can’t imagine trusting anyone else with my cat and home, and she will absolutely be my go-to for every trip going forward. Could not recommend her more!”

About: I’ve worked with young kids and dogs for years. I babysit and petsit in people’s homes and I have trained my seven year old dog. I also have experience with cats and giving them space while letting them warm up to me. On weekdays I work full-time until 4pm and then I’m all free to play with your pets or feed them. Weekends I’m free all day to properly care for your pets. I have a fenced grass front yard and a 7 year old mini schnauzer if your pet is okay with socializing, but not necessary for house sitting or walking.

“Ana was amazing with our two small dogs! She was super communicative and punctual, and we always felt confident that our pups were in great hands. She gave regular updates and made sure they were happy and comfortable the whole time. We’d definitely book with her again!”

Sabrina R.

“This was Olivia's second time dog / house sitting for us, and she one again did great. We really appreciated the regular updates she provided. She left the house in great shape, and our dog seemed happy when we returned. I wouldn't hesitate to hire Olivia again.”
