House Sitting In Old City-Produce And Waterfront

“Bryanna was great! Ready to jump in and help in anyway possible. Took a last minute booking that REALLY helped us. Bryanna was more than happy to go over details with us before the sitting. All the questions Bryanna asked us about our dog and his needs made it apparent that our dog would be cared for while we were gone. We came back to a happy, tired, and well-cared for dog! Would absolutely book again 😊”

“Samantha was great with my two fur babies during the holidays: communicative and sending pics throughout the stay. She was also super patient with all of the security at my complex. Would definitely recommend to anyone who needs someone to look after their furry companions!”

“Adela is fantastic! Adela follows all my instructions and cares for my dog (Bowie) as if he was her own. Adela stays overnight at my home and she is super respectful, clean and kind. Highly recommend!”

“I’ve had Barbara house sit with my animals two times now, and she has been communicative and helpful each time. I was running around before my trip and I forgot to leave her instructions in my home, but she was super understanding and helpful when I reached out with notes on medication and food. I definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”

“Sasha was hands down the best house and pet sitter we've had. Incredible care for our home and dog was demonstrated daily during our 8 days away from home. Frequent check-ins with pics and video were much appreciated. She also rose to the occasion when we were unexpectedly delayed due to airline issues. We are super grateful to have Sasha as our new sitter!”

“Laura’s first time dog sitting for us went smoothly. This was an overnight trip. She sent us photo updates and was responsive when we texted to check in. When we got home, the house was tidy, their water bowls were filled, and Cannoli and Da Vinci were in good spirits. We’ve booked Laura for an extended stay while we’re on an international trip. Thanks, Laura!”

“Matt is always great with our dog, Elliott. He was very responsible with Elliott's medication schedule and attentive to his emotional needs. I'll be re-booking Matt for our next trip as well. Thank you, Matt!”

“Josie was amazing and totally saved the day when our other pet sitter fell through! She took great care of our pup who is reactive / can be a bit of a menace - sent plenty of photos - and was very communicative and professional. We’d be thrilled to work with her again.”

“Michelle was absolutely fabulous! She was able to watch my two dogs on very short notice while I was in Oakland to visit family. My dogs loved her! She took great care of them, taking them on multiple walks throughout the day and providing attention when needed. She we be the first person I reach out to when I am in the Oakland area again. Thank you Michelle!”

About: While I'm new to Rover, I have over 10 years experience taking care of my friends and family's cats, dogs, insects, and plants. I'm excited to start this business on Rover and extend that pet/plant care to the people in my East Bay community! I'm a landscape horticulture student in Oakland, so when I'm not in class, working in my garden, or spending time with my own kitties, I love taking care of my friends, neighbors, and families' pets. They bring so much silliness and happiness into my routine! When walking your dogs or taking care of your pets in your home, respect, safety, and trust are my top priorities. The pet parents I work with know their pets best, and I take their guidance and wishes very seriously. When I'm housesitting, I treat clients' homes with even more respect than I treat my own.

“I highly recommend Nicky! She took great care of our sweet old Callo, was super flexible when our return flight was delayed, and tended to the plants, in addition to being responsive and easy to work with.”

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats my whole life. I have seen pets through life from young to elderly, providing medications and cleaning up countless messes. Nothing will surprise me. I attune to pet personalities well: I love snuggling with the snuggly ones, take care around skittish ones, and everything in between. I am punctual and respectful of your time and space. I’m currently working part-time from home and I am available on short notice to provide care for your loved ones. I am quick to respond and can travel within the East Bay comfortably. I provide loving care in the form of house and pet-sitting, dog walking, feeding, medications, play time, snuggling, and more. I am a highly attuned individual, so I will learn your pet’s needs and meet them where they are at. I work comfortably with pets with boundaries, aggression, skittishness, and other high needs. As a house and pet-sitter, I always leave the home exactly as I found it. I respect your property and make your pet’s safety the highest priority. I will follow your guidelines to the letter and I’m happy to send you pictures to help your mind be at ease.

About: I have always had a great connection with dogs, who are immediately drawn to me. I've been dog walking for several years, and have a little training experience so am able to handle them when outside, always with kindness. I love spending time with both cats and dogs and always make sure all of their needs are met. I have a very flexible schedule at this time. I have a few dog walking gigs, take a class, intern for a few hours per week, and play in a basketball league one night a week, but most of my time is available. I cannot do pet care in my home, only in your home or for walks. If I am in your home I will take good care of your space.

“Dennis was a wonderful house and pet sitter for us while we were away for a week. He took good care of our two dogs and two cats so we could actually have a relaxing vacation, knowing they and our home were in good hands. We will definitely book him again.”

“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. ?”

Lauren M.

“Lola was fantastic! She was kind, attentive and sent many fun photos while taking care of my dog. She left the house extremely clean and asked questions when in doubt of caretaking detail. My dog seemed to have had a great time playing and cuddling with Lola. Highly recommend!”

“Shivani is absolute magic. My husband and I are always hesitant and nervous when we leave our Great Dane alone because he gets a little depressed and usually won’t eat because of separation anxiety or that the care taker will spoil him like we do. When we left for the night he had already snuggled up to her and had his two full meals like we didn’t matter lol. We were so happy that we found someone that our dog was so comfortable with. Shivani has a very calming energy that relaxed our dog and treated him like we would, which made us grateful. Don’t hesitate at all in booking her. She’s pure magic.”

“Sidney pet sat my cat and dog over the holidays and did a wonderful job! Sidney was punctual, easy to communicate and coordinate with, and took really excellent care of the animals and the house. I would definitely hire Sidney again!”
