House Sitting Oakland

“This is my first time using Rover.Com and Karrie and the experience was awesome! Easy to find the best qualified sitter by the photos/reviews, easy payment and follow up. Karrie was perfect for my pups! We chatted beforehand about my expectations, gave her background on my Doxies who both had IVDD surgery this past year, their unique personalities and explore Karrie’s qualifications. Perfect match! She stayed with my 2 Doxies 8 hours in our hotel suite while we attended a football game. She arrived on time, followed my instructions and my pups were safe & happy upon our return. Would definitely use her and Rover.Com again!”

“Alexis was amazing! She sent us pictures and kept us updated. The dogs looked so happy!! She stayed at our house, and we came back to a beautiful, clean home. We’d definitely use Alexis again!”

About: I’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember and have been a trusted Rover sitter for over 4 years. I have three dogs of my own - a bichon frise, greyhound, and a pitbull. I also have a cat and a 🐢! I’ll care for yours as I would want someone else to do for mine. I can’t wait to meet you and your pet/pets! Pet care is my full time job and am available for drop in visits and house sittings when needed. I’m also happy to accommodate last-minute requests! Every pet is unique, and I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and individual needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.

I participate in local events, fundraising and Hound Around Town monthly. I have since expanded my efforts with Husky Haven of Florida as a transport for rescues. I’ve worked at Disney’s pet resort & dog daycare in downtown Orlando. 💯 My base rate listed on my profile covers standard, high-quality care (feeding, potty breaks, and companionship). Since I am a certified dog trainer, the context described above is offered as an active Training Add-On Package for an extra $15 per day. Just be sure to brief me in your contact message and we can discuss together further in detail. With dog training as my core, and having an Executive Assistant professional background of over 20 years, calendar maintenance comes natural and my availability is easily workable around varying schedules. If I’m not at the dog park or training, I can be available for services as necessary. 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.

About: My family always had pets. I took care of them since childhood - cats, Pomeranian, German Shepherd, Golden Retriever. Also I always help my friends and neighbors with their pets, cats and dogs when they went on vacation. I have experience in dog training. My German Shepherd and I passed a general training course for 98 points out of 100. I adhere to the principle of positive reinforcement. My work schedule is pretty flexible, so I can help you with your pets most of the time. I can walk and sitting with your pets all weekdays. I have a nice small backyard for small walk and the Orange Trail nearby for nice long walks. I have two kids (five and eight y.o.). They have always grown up surrounded by pets and know how to behave with them. So if your pet is kids-friendly 😊, then everything will be great 🤗

“Ella took great care of our puppies, house-sitting while we were out of town. She fed/walked the dogs as requested and even brought in our mail, shoveled the snow in the driveway and took the garbage out before leaving! Truly a gem ✨”

“Nathan did a great job taking care of my dog while I was away! I really appreciated the attentive care and knowing he was well looked after throughout my trip.”

Christopher R.

“Tonya, was exceptional. Dogs loved her, I was able to relax and enjoy my time at my daughters wedding in Dominican without having to regularly check in at home. I received updates and photos which is something I need and she just checked all the boxes. I trust her and would absolutely use her again! (she evan had to administer meds to one dog daily and no issues) Thank you for everything!”

“We were so happy to have found Taylor. She was responsive and patient with all of our requests and sent photos/updates of our dog while we were away. It was such a weight off of our shoulders to know our dog was taken care of and also loved on. She’s an anxious pup and really just wants comfort and company. We would absolutely book Taylor to care for her again.”

About: You would never know but I used to be afraid of dogs as a child. After we added a golden retriever named Joe to our family, I've been obsessed with dogs ever since. He passed away 6 years ago now and has left me longing to care for pups. I spent the summer helping my sister with her dog sitting business up north and am looking to do occasional dog sitting in the Orlando area. I am a preschool teacher during the week so I would be available to dogsit on the weekends. Or during the week if the situation allows. I would show your pup lots of love and attention! I feel comfortable going on long walks, playing fetch and keeping the dog on his daily routine to manintain his comfort while his family are away.

“OH MY GOODNESS SHE WILL BE BACK. WE LOVE SOPHIA AND THE DOGGIES DO AA WELL.”

Sean E.

“Danielle was amazing with Skai and very communicative. She sent me pictures throughout the stay and I felt very secured. She took amazing care of Skai and I would definitely book again!”

Angie B.

“Glory was great with the animals, my dog is very skittish of people and she took her time with him. WE had some issues with flights on our way back into the country and she was willing and ready to come back if need be”

About: Until just recently I have loved and cared for my own big fur babies (sadly just losing my 12 year old boxer)…at the same time as both walking and home-sitting friends and neighbors pets. Thankfully my big boy would tolerate ANY other animal! Now it’s just me!! In desperate need of some fur-baby loving of any size :) I am semi-retired and just working a little from home so I am currently free and able at any time for whatever requirements may be necessary. I do have a large fenced in patio and back on to a conservation area for quick potty breaks. But I love to walk…as far and as often as needed…particularly early mornings and evenings. I would be comfortable staying at the owners home too and be prepared to maintain any schedule.

About: Many have said that I am a dog whisperer. I enjoy walking dogs or just being a companion for cats and dogs. I also have senior care training to include giving meds. Right now this is my only job so I am available at all times of morning, mid day and evenings. I always accept positions that leave enough time in between sittings. I have a huge fenced in back yard. I do have a Staffy and he loves making new friends. H had a small dog for 6 of his years in our home and he was so good with him.
