House Sitting Oakmore

“Qishu was fantastic! She was so communicative and easy to work with, she made the time to meet me/our puppy first so we all felt good about the set up, she sent great updates that showed he clearly had the best time hanging out with her!”

Amy S.

“Ty loves Maya and she is reliable and flexible!”

Lauren T.

“Dawn has taken care of Lucy and Leeloo for the second time when we were out of town. Knowing that she’s housesitting and taking care of the pups gives us peace of mind. Highly recommend!”

Katherine H.

“Christine was wonderful and kept me informed with everything that was going on at my house. When I got home, the dogs were calm, which to me is a good sign of a caring sitter.”

Thomas C.

“Emily was great with our 7 month old puppy. She arrived right on time, communicated great before and during the booking. Emily was respectful with the place and was so nice to us and Tango. Happy to request Emily to take care of our dog again.”

“Riley did a great job house sitting. He followed all instructions and left the place great. Most importantly, my dog loves him.”

John Z.

“Cesar was amazing! We had a last minute cancellation prior to an international trip and were totally freaked out and he immediately put our minds at ease from the first meeting. He kept us updated with photos and left our place impeccable. Sunshine seemed to warm right up to him. Highly recommend!”

Yilena J.

“Alejandra took excellent care of our three dogs, and our home. She communicated well, and transparently, which helped keep us informed on the health and welfare of our “kids”, one of whom was still recovering from dental surgery. She even took her to her follow-up vet visit. When we returned after our 11 day vacation, the house was clean and tidy and the dogs were clearly bonded with her. We will gladly book with Alejandra for all of pur future vacations!”

Iris F.

“Great to have Ryan back! The dogs love him and it's nice to have someone who communicates like he does. Reliable and does what he says. Thanks Ryan!! Matt and Brenda”

Matt B.

“Yasmeen was amazing! She was so friendly, communicative, and warm. She genuinely cares about building a relationship with the animals she looks after. She sends constant updates to let you know how things are going. She was a wonderful sitter and we would be so happy to have her look after our dog, Skylar, again! They became the best of friends. ?”

Sanna N.

“Kat was great to work with! She is professional, communicative and kind—taking attentive care of our senior pup during an overnight stay. Hope to book her again!”

About: Peace of mind, clear communication, and absolute reliability for your pets. As a lifelong animal lover with over 40 years of pet care experience, I offer mature, accountable, and dependable care focused on neighborhood dog walks and drop-in visits throughout Oakland. My background in structured animal handling began decades ago in Norway, where I trained my first working dog alongside handlers from the Air Force Dog School long before positive reinforcement became the industry standard. Whether your dog needs a calming mid-day outdoor break or your pets need attentive drop-in feeding, my priority is keeping them happy, safe, and comfortable in their familiar environment. What sets my care apart: • Mature & Accountable: Punctual, highly responsible, and strictly respectful of your home, privacy, and care routines. Perfect for professionals wanting flawless communication. • Calming, Specialized Approach: Patient, positive reinforcement handling specifically tailored to adult dogs, shy pets, or gentle seniors who thrive on a steady, reassuring routine. • Advanced Pet Care: Fully experienced in administering oral medications and managing complex senior care schedules. • Local Oakland Focus: Dedicated entirely to Ivy Hill, Lake Merritt, Grand Lake, and immediate surrounding neighborhoods. (Please note: For walks and drop-in visits, I focus primarily on adult and senior pets to ensure the highest quality of focused, low-stress care. I look forward to meeting you and your pet for a free initial Meet & Greet!) As an independent professional, my schedule offers generous flexibility for pet care throughout the day and evening. I am readily available for morning, mid-day, afternoon, and evening neighborhood walks, as well as flexible drop-in visits for feeding, walks, and evening companionship. My open schedule allows me to dedicate my full, focused attention to your pet’s routine without feeling rushed. Safety and trust are my absolute highest priorities when caring for your pets and respecting your home. During neighborhood walks, I use secure leashes, maintain active situational awareness, and keep a calm, positive demeanor tailored to your dog’s comfort. For in-home drop-in visits, I follow your exact feeding, care, and home security instructions to ensure your pets feel completely safe and secure in their familiar environment.

About: Greetings! I'm Patrick. I've done a bunch of pet and house sitting on another platform, as well as for family, friends and acquaintances, besides having my own pets or sharing them with past partners. I used to practice massage therapy and reiki. I bring a similar intention to handling pets that I brought to responding to clients needs. I'd like to do part-time pet care in the East Bay, with some availability to housesit for longer sits around the full Bay Area. I can be more spontaneous for pet care near Oakland depending upon the timing. For longer resident sits please try to give me a week or two notice with a request. I'll see what works. Thanks! What an honor it is to care for people's homes and pets! I feel excited to transition my pet and house-sitting to this platform. Thanks for your consideration. I enjoy caring for pets and homes. I appreciate the trust-building process, staying accountable and growing as a person, all which these experiences foster. I intend to be a respectful well-communicating sitter and to provide a safe fun atmosphere for your pets. I appreciate receiving questions and feedback during a video chat or in person meet and greet where we get to know each other.

“Eleanna was amazing! From following our instructions, to communicating with us throughout the stay, to truly ensuring our little guy got the love and attention he needed. I couldn’t recommend her enough! We will certainly be rebooking her in the future! Thanks again Eleanna!”

Courtney T.

“Daria was absolutely wonderful on all fronts! She’s extremely timely with her communication/ responses and makes sure she understands all instructions before the visit starts. We have a senior dog with many needs including being carried up/down stairs and on a strict medication schedule, and Daria was very patient, meticulous in administering the medication, kept both dogs on schedule, and sent us photos and updates throughout our trip! We could tell they had been well taken care of and well-loved (and cuddled!) upon our return. The house/ guest space was kept very tidy. It would be an honor to have Daria watch our babies and home again in the future.”

Claire M.

“Terrell was absolutely amazing with our pups! We're so grateful that we were able to take a last-minute trip and knew instantly that Terrell is a pro the moment we met her. We have an old Min Pin that needs a little extra care and a chihuahua that can be a handful, so Terrell kindly agreed to housesit. Terrell sent photos everyday and updates on how everyone was doing. Definitely helped put us at ease and have such a blast on our trip. Since our pups didn't drive her too crazy, we can't wait to book her again for an upcoming trip in January. Thank you, Terrell!!”

Lindsey S.

“Hong stayed with us for a full week this time, and once again she was fantastic. She kept up her wonderful communication the whole time, sending regular updates and photos so we never had to worry, even with such an extended stay. Our dog was clearly well cared for and happy when we got home, and the house was left just as clean and tidy as always. It says a lot that she handled a full week with the same level of care and reliability as a quick overnight — we can't recommend her enough!”

Jennifer B.

“Matthew was a fantastic sitter. Our Great Dane was comfortable with him and spoiled too. He respected our space and house and treated our dog like a part of his own family.”

Haitham H.

“Jisselle was so great with our dog and cat. She sent us lots of photos of them clearly very happy. And she left our home in tiptop shape, too. I can really recommend her.”

Karen B.

“Rong has house/pet sat for us twice now. We have two labradoodles and a small flock of chickens. Rong is great about communication and following instructions. She took good care of all our pets and made sure all their needs were met. She also communicated daily with me and provided photos to show how our pups and chickens were doing while we were away. We were very happy with her services and plan to ask her to house/pet sit again in the future!”
