House Sitting in Oakland

“Brandi was a wonderful sitter for our energetic pup. She treated her and our home with respect and care, and was super communicative both before and during her stay. Our dog absolutely loved her and got plenty of snuggles. Would highly recommend and book again myself!”

About: What sets me apart is that caring for dogs and cats has always been a part of my life—not just a job. I’ve grown up around pets and truly see them as family members, so I understand how important it is that they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending quality time with animals. I also have hands-on experience from working at a dog kennel during high school, where I learned the importance of routine, cleanliness, and recognizing different pet personalities and needs. Whether it’s a playful puppy, a shy cat, or a senior pet who needs extra care and gentleness, I’m committed to making every pet’s time with me happy and stress-free. Pet care fits very well into my daily and weekly routine. I’m currently working at a doggie daycare, I mostly work in the afternoon. My schedule can be flexible but for the most part I have work from 12-6:30 in the afternoon. I enjoy structuring my days around feeding times, walks, play, and companionship so pets receive consistent attention. Ideally, I’m looking to do pet care part-time, which means I can be reliable, present, and attentive when pets need me rather than rushing through visits. I care for pets by closely following the owner’s instructions and routines to ensure consistency and comfort. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I make sure pets receive plenty of love, patience, and compassionate attention. I focus on meeting each pet’s individual needs—feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication if needed, and quiet time—while making them feel safe and cared for. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always aim to create a calm, positive environment.

“Brittany took such good care of our two dogs while we were away. She was very communicative and sent a bunch of pictures which really helped us feel comfortable given this was their first time spending more than a day without family at home.”

“Very attentive and great with our pups! We had no worries or concerns with her housesitting for us while we were out of town! Will definitely be contacting her again!!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 18 I have so many dog experience I love when people open up their houses to me to have me stay in their house to have me watch their furry friends I’m currently working full-time, but I can let them out during the morning before I go to work feed them before I go to work come home. Let them out. Feed them again. Leave them out until bedtime play with them. Give them medication if needed. I love watching clients pets in their own house. I cannot have other dogs and animals in my house due to my dog does not get along with other animals.

About: Iv been pet sitting for 2 years. I love animals I have dogs and cats of my own. I am very responsible and will do my absolute best to meet whatever needs you have. I currently have a part time job and I’m finishing out my senior year of school. Iv been doing this for a while and I want to get more into it and build up more of a reputation. I will make sure your house stays clean, I’m very flexible and I will do what ever you need to make sure your dog or cat is happy and comfortable

“Anna B did a GREAT job with my Gatsby. He was well cared for and I would definitely recommended her. She communicated well and was very understanding of all my instructions for my little guy. Thanks Anna. I hope that you would be willing to come back? She's great and I would highly recommend her.”

About: I've taken care of my dog and family and friends dogs for many years. I even volunteered in an animal shelter for awhile as well! I currently run a small handmade business from my space. I spend a lot of time outdoors with my own dog, we like to run, play fetch, chase squirrels, and spend time treat training. I make sure a walk and quality time are prioritys with animals. I do not take dogs into my living space as I live with friends currently and on the road at times, so I prefer to go to your home and location. I'm very flexible! :)

“Matthew was an excellent dog/house sitter. The dogs really enjoyed him and he really took care of them like they were his own. He communicates regularly and was an excellent houseguest. You would have no worries with him as your sitter. Highly recommend him.”

About: I live in a quiet, safe neighborhood and enjoy a peaceful home environment. I work, stay active in my church, and love winding down with a good book or movie. I’m down-to-earth and will treat your dog like family. My daughter, who’s now abroad, used to dog sit and encouraged me to try it myself—knowing how much I love dogs, even though I’m not ready to have one full-time. I often helped her with dog sitting before she left, and truly enjoyed the companionship. It would be a blessing to care for your pet and offer you peace of mind. I’m flexible, reliable, and would have a great time making sure your dog feels safe and loved. I work hybrid, which means your pet will have plenty of attention, playtime, and supervision throughout the day. I love taking regular breaks to go on walks, give belly rubs, or just relax with a furry friend nearby. My flexible schedule allows me to accommodate feeding routines, bathroom breaks, and any special care your pet may need. I live in a quiet, pet-friendly apartment with plenty of space for your dog to relax comfortably. While I don’t have a backyard, I take regular walks in safe, green areas nearby and always supervise outdoor time. I follow your care instructions closely, including feeding, medications, and routines, and I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos. Whether in my home or yours, I provide calm, attentive care to help your pet feel secure and loved.

“Alexus was kind, polite and prompt throughout the entire experience. She was great with my boys - my dog, who is a very skittish rescue, even took a treat from her within a day. Her communication was consistent and thorough, and she even asked questions on how to make my dogs experience a little easier for him. Highly recommend!”

“Polly was absolutely fantastic. She sent us photos and notes everyday which really helped our anxiety leaving him. When we came home we new right away that Chester loved her. She played with him, gave him his medicine, and even bought him a few toys. Exceptional care. This is the first time we used Rover and wish I had found out about it before! We hate leaving him behind when we travel, but knowing that we now have Polly to rely on, it makes is so much better. My only concern is now everyone will want to book her and then she is not available for us. We could not have asked for better care for our gentle giant.”

“Skyler was awesome as always! Pleasant to communicate with, liked by my critters, very attentive to instructions, and excellent with updates on how the animals are doing. I would highly recommend!”

Eric W.

“Highly recommend Sarah! She watched both of our dogs at our house over the weekend, and we were very happy with the whole experience. One dog needs meds, and the other is a puppy. I never worried about them in her care.”

Karen B.

“Lillie watched our two dogs in our home for 3 nights and 4 days. She did an excellent job. She gave updates a couple times a day. She also responded whenever I reached out. We would use her again.”

Cindy D.

“Our first time ever using Rover or a pup sitter. Great communication, punctual, sweet, Whiskie was happy to have her in our home. We will be using Sydney again soon.”

About: I feel the biggest thing that sets me apart is my ability to be flexible. Depending on the needs, whether that be specific hours, specific days, and specific activities, I am willing and able to work with owners to best meet those needs. I am also able to travel to your home and provide care in the pets most comfortable environment. I do work full time during the week typically from 8-4, but I am available to be home evenings and weekends with pets. This can be flexible for those that would like to chat about options. I prioritize making it an easy and stress-free experience for both the pets and owner. I provide care to best meet the pet's quality of life. I provide exercise activities such a fetch and walks. I provide cuddles for self-proclaimed "lap dogs" as well as provide necessary space and time to the timid animals.

“Elyse is amazing! I’ve already booked my next vacation and talked about another one after that with her so my fur babies can be taken care of and I know they are in the best hands. She is such an animal lover and treats my fur babies like her own. I never had to worry about them while I was on vacation. She communicates, sends photos and asks questions if she doesn’t know. My neighbor who helps me with my dogs said she also me Elyse and said she was so nice and the dogs loved her and she was always out walking them when needed and was home with them! Thank you so much Elyse! It’s so great to be able to go on vacation and know your fur babies and home are being taken care of! We look forward to your next time!”

“Hannah is amazing with our dog, Fudge! She is always communicating with us and sending pictures and videos which makes my dog mama heart happy and eases my anxiety of leaving him:)”
