House Sitting Oakland

“Jezabell was great with Gabby and Romeo! This was our first time leaving them alone with someone outside our family since adopting them 7 months ago. Jezabell shared multiple photos a day with us and updates on how they were doing. We were concerned with Gabby eating as she can be picky and has not had her appetite when left before. Jezabell was very successful getting her to eat and kept to their routine. She has given us peace of mind when leaving town without them. Definitely found a great sitter to stay overnight with them and will definitely use her again!!!”

“Excellent pup care. Loved the daily updates and photos. I am confident my dogs had excellent care and one of my dogs is senior and takes medication and I had no worries!”

Karen R.

“Diahann is amazing! My senior Miniature Schnauzer loves her. My Maltese suffered trauma while he was at a boarding facility that really shook him up. However, with Diahann, he’s so happy to see her and loves playing with her. She’s truly an answer to my prayers.”

“Sasha took great care of our senior pup and our home. We appreciate her care so much. Would definitely recommend her and use her services again.”

Kelly G.

“Taylor took excellent care of our dog and cat! We have quite a few "special" requirements for our senior four-legged family members and Taylor was up for the task. She stayed in our home and fit in like a champ! In fact, we've booked Taylor for another (longer) visit. Thank you, Taylor!”

Steve E.

“Steffanie took such great care of our husky/shepherd mix, Jase, and home while we were away! She left our home spotless, administered all of his medication and supplements as requested, and took him on multiple daily walks. Would love to hire her again!”

Jennifer R.

“Shelley was very communicative with us about what was going on with our dogs. Pics were daily and it was nice to know they were well taken care of.”

Lynne T.

“Adriana did a great job with our pack. She arrived timely, spent most if not all of her days while we were gone at the house with them. It rained most of our time away so they were cooped up inside and we came home to a normal house so she found a way to keep them engaged and go out in the rain to potty. For at least one of them that isn't an easy task. She communicated daily with photos and updates and responded promptly to our messages. We came home to 3 healthy and happy dogs.”

Sara S.

“Margarita took excellent care of Java while I was away. She was reliable, loving, and kept me updated with photos and messages. It’s clear she truly cares for animals. I highly recommend her and will definitely book her again!”

Ana Mary C.

“Yelena was great, easy to reach and communicate with. Skai loved her and she even left her a new toy to play with! You can tell she is very experienced with dogs especially being that Skai can be very hyper but it did not seem to bother her at all. I would definitely book again, she made things very easy and smooth thank you :)”

“Alexis took great care of our two senior cats while housesitting — including caring for my houseplants. Our cats are very affectionate and can be very needy, so we were happy to receive regular updates with photos showing them being loved on. I highly recommend her services and we will be happy to book her again for our future travel.”

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was a little kid. My godmother used to own five dogs and seven cats back in Brazil. Every time that I would come over to her place I would love to take care of her pets. The best memories I have are from feeding, playing, and having sleepovers with these animals every night. After my godmother passed away, I adopted one of her dogs named Liza. I brought Liza here to the United States with my family and she lived an eighteen year long and happy life! Towards the end of her life, she had vestibular disease. I made sure we were on top of all vet visits, meds and rehab care. She was very important to me so I wanted make sure we gave her the best care. Since then, I have been there for my family and friends to watch their beloved pets. I have experience from cat sitting, dog sitting, and dog walking! I make sure to send my friends and family updates on their fur baby as I know going on vacation can make you miss your pets. So excited for future fur buddies to meet! Hi guys, I am new here!! I work part time and I have full time availability at my day job, but I decided to reserve some time to take care of pets which has always been a dream of mine! I am trying to make this app work and will change my availability on a week to week basis depending on my scheduling at work, but I will be as flexible and as convenient as I can to fit into your schedule! I know how important it is for your pet's happiness to take their daily walks, so during their daily walk I will make sure that they exercise, have enrichment and also have fun with the scenery! If I am doing check ins I will make sure that your pup is happy and also that they have everything that they may need such as food, water and most importantly, are happy!

“Elizabeth was great with my three very different personality dogs. They are little with big personalities! She managed them all so well, no accidents in the house, and gave them love as if they were her own. I’m happy to have found someone reliable and patient to be with our pups when we go out of town:)”

I focus on science-backed methods that are mindful and effective, while integrating enrichment, affection, stimulation (both mentally and physically), rest breaks, sniffy walks, play time and cuddles. I prioritize the pet parents requests and instructions, aligned with fulfillment that meets the dog’s foundational needs.
