House Sitting Oakland

“I couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter! From start to finish, Jezabell’s communication was excellent, she kept me updated and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. My fur-babies were clearly well cared for, happy, and comfortable when I returned, which says everything. She also treated my home with so much respect and left everything clean and in great condition. It’s such a relief to find someone who is not only reliable but truly cares. I would absolutely recommend Jezabell to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and compassionate pet sitter. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and genuinely love caring for them. I was a dog owner for 14 years and hamster owner for 2 years (the entirety of their lifespans 🩷). In addition to my own pets, I’ve regularly helped care for family members’ and friends’ pets, including feeding, walking, playtime and keeping them comfortable while their owners were away. While I’m new to offering services through Rover, I’m not new to responsibly caring for animals. I treat every pet as if they were my own and understand how important trust and communication are when someone is caring for your pet. My goal is always to provide calm, attentive, and loving care so both you and your pet feel at ease. I am in real estate and I work primarily from home, which allows me to have a very flexible schedule and be available throughout the day for pet care. I have plenty of availability for midday walks, frequent check-ins, and longer visits, and I enjoy getting outside for walks as part of my own daily routine. I am able to give your pet the time and attention they deserve. I’m happy to follow your pet’s usual schedule and adjust as needed! I live in a single-family home with a fully fenced yard, Providing a safe and secure space for dogs to enjoy outdoor time and play. My home is pet-free and child-free. I’m mindful about safety at all times and closely supervise pets during play and outdoor activities. I follow any instructions you provide carefully, including feeding schedules, leash preferences, crate use, and routines, to ensure your pet feels comfortable and at home.

“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.”

“Skylar arrived on time and sent photos to reassure me that my dogs were doing well. Just a short booking but I felt safe leaving my dogs with her.”

Katherine B.

“Alexis is amazing. She goes above and beyond. When one of my dogs had an accident she took our carpet to her own place to clean it. We’ve tried several pet sitters but no one leaves our kitties as happy and our place as clean as when Alexis comes to watch them. We will be using Alexis again and again!”

Cassie W.

“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 ✨”

Meredith M.

“Yelena was absolutely wonderful! She responded quickly and was able to accommodate us last minute to watch our fur-babies, which we really appreciated. Throughout the day, she sent us pictures and updates, giving us peace of mind that they were happy and well cared for. She also treated our home with the utmost respect and was such a pleasure to have in our home. We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter and would definitely recommend Yelena to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and dependable. We will absolutely be using her again! 🐾❤️”

“Karen has cared for our cat Elsa several times. She is excellent and I would highly recommend her!”

Heather G.

“Kiara was by far the best dog/house sitter we have ever had stay in our home & take care of our fur baby. She was very attentive to our dog & communicated with us on a regular basis. She was extremely respectful of our home. Highly recommend!”

Carrie P.

“Taylor was tremendous for us during our vacation! She took great care of our dog and cat and took care of our house too! She was super caring and considerate of our pets and their senior status. While away, we did not worry one bit, which was such a wonderful relief! Taylor is tops!”

Steve E.

“Tiffany was so great! She arrived as promised and even took our dog out one extra time for us since we were returning late. The dog was happy and well- cared for, left the house in great shape. Will definitely use Tiffany again and highly recommend!”

Darla S.

“Francesca did a wonderful job taking care of our girls over the 4th of July holiday. They are not a big fan of the fireworks, so she made sure to give them extra love and attention. We can always count on Francesca!”

Luke J.

“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.”

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: I’ve been pet sitting since 2015 and have loved every moment. I have a big heart for animals and the people who adore them. Pets bring so much joy to our lives, and they deserve the same love and care in return. When you’re away, you can feel at ease knowing your pets are safe, happy, and treated like family. I am in pet grooming school Monday through Friday from 9-3pm. I am fully available on weekends. If there are any other questions you may have about my schedule feel free to contact me! I do not have any pets (except a turtle), and my parents are animal lovers like me so they always give lots of extra love. We do not have a fence but we do have a good yard.

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.

“Molly did an amazing job pet sitting for us. She was great about communicating with me and sending photos. The animals appeared to have a great time with her. Molly even took the time to mop the mud the dogs tracked into the house before leaving even though it was not necessary. We will be booking Molly again!”
