House Sitting in Old City-Produce And Waterfront, Oakland

“Kimberly has stayed with Paws on numerous occasions and things always go smoothly. Kimberly provides frequent updates and lots of photos - which I appreciate. Paws is a senior dog with special needs and Kimberly never misses a beat in taking care of him. Will book again.”

“Madeline was such a great doggy sitter! I have two pups, both with their own special personalities (one is a little shy and anxious and the other is a little reactive to strangers). She came to do a meet and greet so they would feel comfortable the day of, and she was so patient and sweet with them. She was very attentive and listened to all the details we were sharing with her. She seemed super confident and experienced. For the day of (we were actually getting married!), we did not have to worry one bit about them and she sent us many cute pictures to update us on how they were doing. They looked at ease :) Would definitely recommend her and will contact her again if we ever need a dog sitter. :)”

“We can’t say enough good things about Cruz! They were so great with our reactive pup! Our pup didn’t even bark at Cruz, which is a first, and is a testament to how caring and great they are! We will definitely work with them again!”

“Victoria was an excellent sitter! She did a great job taking care of our very energetic dog and was communicative throughout our trip. Would definitely recommend her!”

“Lady loves Melina! Melina is very friendly and relaxed, our puppy Lady is very comfortable with her, and she’s also very knowledgeable which is great for new puppy parents like us. Thanks Melina!”

“Sasha did a great job looking after Chewy, our pup, while we were away for a few days. He bonded with her right away and, despite his separation anxiety issues was happy when with her and survived when she had to leave him for a couple of hours. She took him for long walks (his favorite past time), and was very attentive to him.”

“Cathy was amazing with our two pups! We have a senior dog who has special needs, as well as a younger dog with lots of energy. Cathy came by before the stay to learn every detail of their day, and followed all of our instructions while we were away. She took excellent care of them during the holidays, and I came back to two very happy pups. Our senior girl usually has a bit of anxiety while we're away, and I can tell when I return. However, Cathy handled everything perfectly and I could tell our older girl was happy and well taken care of when we returned. I would absolutely book Cathy again -- I trust her with my babies through and through, and she'll be my first choice for every trip from now on!”

“Our experience with Shanley was nothing short of amazing! She was our very first Rover/pet sitter experience. We are so thankful to have found her. She sat our 130lb Irish Wolfhound, Lando, at our house for two days. Shanley was very attentive to Lando’s schedule and took excellent care of him. She updated us on how he was doing, sent pictures, and always responded very quickly. We saw her a few days later so she could meet our other dogs, and Lando was over the moon to see her again! We definitely plan to use her for future trips”

“Dea was extremely professional and knowledgeable of our dog’s needs. She made us feel very comfortable and was a great communicator. We definitely would recommend her services and would love to book with her again.”

“Qishu was a great, she clearly really loves dogs and cats and they love her. She was very reliable and easy to communicate with. She sent informative updates with pictures so we knew everything was ok. I would definitely book with her again!”

“Awesome sitter! Great with my senior babies. Good quick communication. It was such a relief knowing my babies were being taken care of while I was away. Highly recommend.”

“Sara is amazing! My doggie is pretty skittish, but she was so patient and gentle that she warmed up to her right away. She's very reliable and clearly loves animals—I always feel good leaving my pup in her care. Highly recommend!”

“Top notch service! Lulia was great to have watch our dogs, amazing communication and it was obvious that our dogs were treated so well and had a wonderful time with Lulia.”

“Krystle did a great job with my girl! She sat with my pup in my home for a short girls trip and I was able to enjoy without any worries. I got plenty of videos and pics while away to know they enjoyed their time together. She left my space spic and span and I'd definitely hire Krystle again. Thank you so much again!”

“Samantha was fantastic! Provided lots of updates. Our dog was truly well cared for. 100% recommend”

“Julia was fantastic! Simba was very happy the entire time, and Julia offered to stay with Simba later on the last day to ensure he wasn’t alone for too long before we got home : ) Thank you Julia, the house was very clean, we appreciated it!”

About: I had a full grown cat in my crib as a baby, my parent's told me I would feed it my bottle. I moved to SC to live with my grandmother when I was young. She was a nurse and spent a lot of time helping the local animal shelter. At most, 20 kittens or puppies would be at her house. Usually the animals were malnourished or sick, she would try to get them healthy enough to adopt. That's probably why I love cats and dogs as much as I do. I've adopted 2 dogs, 1 cat from the humane society as an adult. The first dog I adopted was a feral puppy, I adopted him bc I wanted to see why my grandmother never would allow feral animals in her home. I had him for 14 wonderful years but it did take a lot of training and patience. The last dog I owned was a 1 year old pit from a kill shelter. I was able to train this dog not to bite and protect it's owner without biting. I love pets, I know more than your regular person on what types of food/treats to give a dog. For example, if your dog eats a couple pecans, that's bad news. I also know people can be very particular of what they want their animals eating, even if it's a treat. I'd never give someone else's pet a treat without their consent. My job revolves around fixing coffee machines and that business isn't as busy as it used to be prior to the pandemic. I have plenty of free time and I understand how important a routine is in young dogs/cats and I'm willing to help out in any way I possibly can. Currently my roommate has a dog that isn't friendly around other dogs, it's a 9 year old Shiba, and I've learned those breeds are some of the most stubborn dogs. I feed this dog, wash her, and trim du claws and nails. When my roommate is out of town, I let the dog sleep in my bed even though I can't stand how much she sheds. I have a clean background, I've never been in trouble for stealing bc my parents brought me up not to do that. Prior to moving out to CA to work on coffee machines, I spent 17 year's working for Wells Fargo Home Mortgage department. I didn't love my job which is why I'm out here now. My roommate I've known since high school, he'll confirm you won't have to worry when you're out of town.

“Charlii was the best house sitter and pet sitter we’ve encountered. She was incredibly communicative and feeling about all the animals in our little zoo. She was able to do things we know were unpleasant for her. We’d hire her back in a second (if she’ll have us!)”

“Gabrielle is wonderful!! She was excellent with my two big girls, took great care of my house and was very communicative! A pleasure to work with and I would be thrilled to have her sit my dogs again in the future. ?”

“Fulinag was amazing with our senior Golden Retriever, Daisy! He has arthritis and needs extra attention, but he made him feel right at home. He sent us daily updates with photos and made sure he took all his medications on schedule. The enclosed yard was perfect for his gentle exercise needs. We're so grateful to have found such a caring and professional sitter.”
