House Sitting in Panoramic Hill, Oakland, CA

“Ashley is awesome! She came to my home and took care of my brand new puppy, who has quite a demanding schedule. I was a super anxious new puppy mom and she put me at ease, kept me updated, and was super flexible and accommodating. Basil loved her and I felt like he was in great hands. Absolutely recommend!”

“Sheryl was an exceptional dog sitter for our dog Maple during our recent 11-day trip. From the very beginning, she demonstrated reliability and professionalism - she was punctual for both our initial meeting and when she arrived to care for Maple. What truly set Sheryl apart was how thoughtful and prepared she was. She came equipped with treats and toys for Maple and took the time to really get to know her personality and needs. The fact that Maple got along so wonderfully with Sheryl's dog Mac made the experience even more special. They went on walks together, played fetch, and clearly enjoyed each other's company. Throughout our trip, Sheryl kept us connected with regular photos and videos that showed just how much fun Maple was having. From playing at the park to going on walks and even visiting coffee shops, Maple was truly living her best life. She was so comfortable with Sheryl that she even slept in bed with her - something she doesn't always do with us! Beyond her excellent pet care, Sheryl went above and beyond with our home. She kept our garden in immaculate condition, watered all the plants, and even maintained our worm bin - tasks that were truly above and beyond what we expected. I highly recommend Sheryl to anyone looking for a reliable, caring dog sitter and house sitter. Her genuine love for animals and attention to detail made our time away worry-free. Thanks, Sheryl!”

“Ana took very good care of my two kitties. I came home to happy cats and a neat house. She sent some pictures while I was away, which I always appreciate.”

“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.”

“Samantha was incredible. Miura had an ear infection that required a trip to the vet while I was gone for a week, and Samantha was extremely communicative and helpful through the whole process. She took Miura to the vet, picked her up, and did all the ear drops necessary. Miura can be an anxious pup so I was worried about having someone else take her to the vet, but everything went super smoothly with Samantha taking her. I highly recommend Samantha as a sitter!”

Alexandra D.

“Angela was amazing! She offered to do a meet and greet before sitting, which was perfect for my dog who is a little wary of new people. I also got plenty of updates and pictures. And I was able to enjoy my time away worry free because she was in such good hands.”

Nina F.

“Ariana was amazing! Took out booking very last minute and took the best care of our dogs! Great communication, lots of photos, and she left a really sweet drawing of them. Highly recommend!!”

About: I have pet sat for many acquaintances over the years, as well nannying which included caring for family pets. I also have two cats of my own! I am currently wfh freelancers, I have plenty of availability in my schedule to care for other peoples furry guys! I have too small of an apartment to have a dog of my own - so my own pet care would never get in the way. I play with my cats every morning and night for at least two hours a day. I believe in a healthy diet for all animals, as well as providing an enriched home life for all domesticated animals. I am proudly in tune with an animal's body language and how the all vocalize their needs differently.

About: I’ve had experience with a handful of different cats and dogs, from walking to house sitting, I also offer pet photography alongside your service. I am a quick learner, motivated, and would love to take care of your pet. I am in the process of preparing to start animal behavioral college, where I’ll be majoring in animal training. I’m currently on a break from work until the end of August/ early September so I can accommodate to your needs and have lots of time to play with your critters. I have a fenced large open patio and yard, the perfect spot with plenty of space for your fur baby/ies. I can also stay overnight at your house, I’m open, I will always leave your home better than I found it.

About: Hello! I'm Eleanore, I’ve always connected really well with animals, and since I can’t have pets in my apartment right now, any chance I get to look after someone else’s is incredibly rewarding. I've had animals my whole life, and as a teenager helped take care of my neighbors pets while they were away. I also have volunteered with an organization to take care of pets while they are recovering from injuries and also to help train puppies in their process of being adopted. I like to tailor care to each dog's needs, whether that is longer walks and energetic playtime or something a bit more slow-paced, I want to make sure each dog I interact with gets the care they need. I always ensure I talk with clients about the most effective ways to interact with their dog, and I ask about any behavioral issues I should keep in mind during their care. I look forward to meeting your pets and caring for them soon! As I am taking classes online, I have a very flexible schedule and am available and am available on both weekdays and weekends. From quick walks to playful sessions or simply providing a comforting presence while you’re away, I’m ready to care for your dog. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always prioritize their comfort and routine. For drop-in visits, I make sure they have fresh water, feed them according to their schedule, give them any needed potty breaks, and spend quality time playing, cuddling, or just keeping them company depending on what they enjoy most. For walks, I ensure they’re safely harnessed or leashed, take them on routes they’re comfortable with, and give them time to sniff and explore. Overall, I aim to follow their normal routine as closely as possible, keep their environment clean and safe, and communicate regularly with the owner to update them on how their pet is doing.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats personally for my whole life and professionally for almost ten years now. Friends and family rely on me to walk, feed, and sit their animal children when they are unavailable and I am happy to do so! I am currently between full time jobs since moving from LA, so I have lots of time to work with your pets at the moment :) I am not able to care for pets at my home, but I am happy to sit at your home and follow all directions while giving your animals my full attention.

“Irina was prompt and responsive. She was attentive to the detailed instructions for my 17-year-old pup and executed them kindly and thoroughly. She sent pictures and updates. Reliable with heart!”

“Kye was great! Went the extra mile to make sure I was comfortable before leaving Romeo with an in-person pre-meeting. Not only was I updated throughout the trip with cute photos and videos, my home was cared for and left in the same manner it was in before my trip. Thanks for great communication and care for Romeo!”

“Cara cared for my senior dog, Frito, while I was out of town for the weekend. She sent me regular updates and pictures, which were greatly appreciated. She also administered his oral medications and took him for lots of walks. I felt like Frito was in good hands the entire time, which allowed me to enjoy my friend's wedding celebration. Frito was also in good spirits when I got back! I will be sure to contact Cara for any future dog-sitting needs.”

“Lisa took such amazing care of my dog and home while I was away. My dog was recovering from surgery and needed pills and cream medications, and Lisa handled it without a problem. I came home to a spotless house which was such a nice welcome. I'd love to have her back in the future.”

Samantha B.

“She was so patient and fantastic with my baby girl, Bella. Bella seemed to be in great spirits after my trip and I appreciate the consistent updates from Sophia. I would book her again :)”

Leslie

“Just was great with our dogs. She was patient and sweet with our special needs dog who is blind and was equally as fun and active with our high energy dog. She took great care of both our dogs and our home and we would gladly book her again!”

About: I grew up with a dog that I was responsible for from a young age until my late teens. Today, I am the go-to dog care person for family and friends. I love animals but especially dogs so I decided to try expanding my skills here on Rover. I have experience helping dogs who are injured and need medicine, active, semi-active, and mellow dogs too! My current schedule offers flexibility throughout the weekdays and most weekends, which helps me balance and accommodate dog owners' various schedules/needs throughout the entire week. At your home, I am a responsible and conscientous person, who treats someone's home with care. I am adaptable to different home environments. The main thing for me is feeling safe in the home and cleanliness -:) and that the dog is comfortable.
