House Sitting Oakland

“Gabrielle took great care of our cats and was in constant communication with us about how they were doing, including cleaning up a plant that one had knocked over. She also sent lots of pictures which was appreciated.”

Brandon W.

“Isabella stayed at my house for the week and was wonderful with my big pup. She was attentive and made sure to send me updates daily. Thank you so much for watching my fur baby!”

Meghan L.

“This was our first time entrusting Patrick with our house and pups. We were quite confident in our decision when, during the meet and greet, Patrick inquired about our care routines in detail, which we hadn’t been asked before. Throughout our trip, Patrick kept us informed about our pups’ well-being by sending us pictures of their adventures. We appreciated receiving these updates as they allowed us to stay connected while we were away. We highly recommend Patrick for future dog-sitting needs and believe he would be a great fit for your requirements as well.”

“Sampson had a great time with Allicia. Allicia kept us informed while we were gone and sent us a couple photos each day of Sampson. Would definitely recommend Allicia.”

“Cole was punctual, communicative and responsive. The animals looked happy and well taken care of when we returned! Will be reaching out again next time we need someone to watch them!”

Christian S.

“Mariah was great! She was on time, communicated well, and sent some pics of our sweet boys. Will definitely reach out to Mariah again next time we need a sitter!”

Paul L.

“Geena was very open and great to communicate with. I would definitely rebook.”

“David was wonderful, very professional and capable with our two high energy dogs. He sent us updates and photos and did a great job taking care of our babies. We would definitely book with him again!”

Annie H.

“Heather was absolutely amazing! With a senior dog with some medical issues we had her come stay in our house while we were away. She followed all instructions and gave us a daily update of cuteness with a picture. All of the dogs meds were administered and he got a daily walk. I would absolutely recommend Heather to others.”

Shelby B.

“Mariah was awesome! From the moment she met our dog I knew she would be a good fit—Stella was at ease and loved her. You could tell from the pictures she sent that Stella and the cats were happy and comfortable and that she was taking great care of them. 10/10 would definitely book again!”

Kalee A.

“She was amazing! Kept in contact and sent several pictures of both kitties every day. She was very accommodating of every request for our special-needish kitties and kept up with the demanding medication schedule. Definitely someone we will trust again!”

Nathan F.

“Took good care of my cat. Would use again.”

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and genuinely love getting to know each one’s personality. I grew up with a dachshund for nearly 14 years, which taught me the responsibility and consistency that great pet care requires. As I got older, my dad and I also hosted dogs through Rover in our home, so I’m very familiar with caring for dogs in a home environment, helping them adjust to new spaces, and keeping them comfortable while their owners are away. I also have hands-on experience working in a dog daycare, where I supervised playgroups of 20+ dogs at a time. I managed group dynamics, kept play safe and positive, handled feeding routines, cleaned up after dogs, and moved them between spaces. That experience made me very confident in reading dog body language and stepping in early to keep things fun and safe. I’m active and love walks, playtime, and just hanging out with dogs. Whether your pup wants to run around or relax and get attention, I’m happy to match their energy. I also love sending photo updates so you can see how they’re doing! I’m a CMU student who loves spending time with animals outside of class. My schedule allows me to be available throughout the week and on weekends for walks, drop-ins, and house sitting. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and will make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and care while you’re away. Your dog’s safety and comfort always come first. I pay close attention to behavior and surroundings, so I can keep things safe, calm, and positive. On walks, I stay aware of other dogs, people, and anything that might be stressful or overstimulating. During home visits, I stick closely to your dog’s routine so they feel comfortable and secure. Because of my daycare experience, I’m confident handling multiple dogs, recognizing early signs of stress, and adjusting quickly to prevent issues. I’ll also keep you updated so you always know your pup is happy and in good hands.

“Meghan stayed with our two dogs and hamster in our home for a week and we would 100% work with her again. Meghan was communicative, responsive, and made sure to send us regular pics of our pets while we were gone. We also appreciated how well she handled our pup that’s afraid of thunderstorms as several rolled through while we were out of town.”

Jessamyn L.

“Laura is wonderful. Very responsive -- loves a good walk with Stella -- and very flexible. Love working with Laura (and Stella loves when she visits, too!)”

Nathan S.

“Wallis went above and beyond to enable a reservation for us. Her updates during reservations are well timed, helpful, and informative. The action shots she has captured have been hilarious (#husky). Cannot recommend her highly enough.”

Cat H.

“Alison was great. Alison provided daily check-ins and photos of our dogs. It was comforting to know our dogs were in their own home being cared for while we were away.”

Courtney R.

“Natalie was the best! Prompt, friendly, and took excellent care of our Clementine. I could not recommend her more! She made our trip relaxing because we knew our pup was in good hands! Thank you Rover and especially Natalie!”

J D.

“Max was wonderful! We’re so grateful he was available to take care of our girls. Opal Mae and Ruby Fae loved having him stay with them. Thanks for being awesome, Max!”

About: My first job was at a boarding kennel, and I instantly loved working with dogs! As someone who has been part of a team caring for up to 30 dogs at a time, I’ve worked with all kinds of dogs: ones with separation anxiety or time-sensitive medication routines or puppies who need extra attention and potty breaks. I’ve seen it all, and I’ve loved it all too! I’m working part time at the moment so I can build my schedule around my house sitting or visits! Shift length can depend on how long the dog is okay to be alone, and I will always be there in the morning and at night. If you let me know the dog’s typical routine, I will do all that I can to keep it consistent while you’re away.
