House Sitting in Peralta-Hacienda, Oakland, CA

“Checkers seems to feel safe and loved whenever Melina cares for her. We love receiving photos while away. She’s a wonderful caregiver to our pup.”

“Qishu was amazing with our high energy dog and extremely communicative with us. We received lots of updates and pictures over all the days we were gone. We would unreservedly recommend Qishu to anyone!”

“Dane was kind, patient, and understanding with our kitties and with us as well! My partner and I had an out of town emergency family, causing us to need to leave last minute & change our booking multiple times. Dane was flexible and understanding throughout the process. Our kitties were very new to our house and skittish, but Dane was gentle with them and helped them get comfortable with him very quickly!”

“G’la was great with our two dogs! We loved all of the wonderful pictures she sent and our dogs clearly had a good time. She even went above and beyond to coordinate visits with our landlord while we were away. Thanks, G’la!”

“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!”

“Ammy watched our dog at our apartment for a long weekend and we felt very at-ease while away. She comforted our nervous pup during the 4th of July fireworks, in which we were grateful. Ammy’s communication, kindness, and wit are the perfect combo for dog responsibility. Will definitely book in the future with her.”

“Shivani was incredible and the best sitter we’ve had! She took such great care of our pup, our two cats, and our home. Our pup is fairly reactive and has some big feelings about the world, so it can be hard to find people she is comfortable with. She seemed to be quite at ease with Shivani and enjoyed her time with her! Our shy cat also loved Shivani! Shivani also sent a lot of updates about our pets, which was soooo incredibly helpful and really put us at ease while we were away! Truly can’t say enough positive things about her and we will definitely ask her to sit for us in the future!”

“Angie was great. She was very responsive and kept us updated throughout the entire time she took care of both our pups. The pups were healthy and happy and our home was kept clean. We would have her house sit for us again.”

Esteeve T.

“Charlii treated Wes and Margot to a wonderful week of walks and playtime when we were away. She provided lots of lovely updates and videos and gave such great care to our two pups 😍”

“Jessikah is an incredible pet sitter! She spent a long weekend house- and pet-sitting for me, from a Thursday evening through Sunday evening, staying overnights. She kept my house very clean, watered my front garden, and - most importantly - was super attentive to both of my pets. My cat is not particularly fond of new people, and Jessikah really put on the effort to put Angrboda at ease and try to get her to play, despite being hissed at. My dog is easier, but Jessikah went the extra mile cuddling with him loads and walking him (he pulls; walks are optional) during her stay. I got incredible photos of both pets every day. When I got home from my trip, my pets were not stressed and anxious that I'd been away, which is extremely important to me. I cannot recommend Jessikah enough, and I am so happy to have found another pet sitter I can rely on and call back for future travel.”

“Alyssa is a wonderfully pleasant sitter to work with. She is always willing to help us out and has great availability. She cares for our mini dachshund like it is one of her own dogs. We are so appreciative of her support with our old pup.”

David H.

“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!”

Erin B.

“Victoria is nothing short of a dog send. Not only did she ease my anxieties, but she provided a comfortable and calming environment for my Gracie Girl - and that is not an easy thing to do. Thank you, Victoria!”

Bentley H.

“Korin was amazing as usual. She took great care of our pup while we were away and shared regular updates/photos. Louie loved playing with her and was clearly tired and happy when we got home. Thanks, Korin!”

Rhia B.

“Salina was very punctual and communicative. She stayed at our house and took care of our senior dog and outdoor cats for 2 days and we felt totally comfortable with her making sure everyone was well taken care of!”

“Hamed was awesome, our dogs love him (and so do we!). He gave them lots of attention and playtime with other dogs. We so appreciate the care and love he gave them while we were away and we look forward to working with him again in the future.”

Lauren C.

“All the reviews are true - Kerri is simply amazing! She was really great with the dogs and left the house so clean that it felt like no one had touched it!. One of the dogs can be reactive on leash, and she handled her like it was a piece of cake. Happy to know the dogs and the house are in good hands with Kerri. Will be using her again for sure.”

Em B.

“It was wonderful to work with Kimberly. She was able to care for my daughter’s 2 year old Malamute-Husky mix, Kazami, during Thanksgiving weekend and we couldn’t be more grateful! Kimberly is very knowledgeable about dogs and gave Kazami a lot of love and attention. We’re looking forward to working with Kimberly in the future!”

About: hi there! we are a young couple that grew up with lots of dogs and love having them around. we have been pet sitting since we moved to the bay area (we left our pets back home) and it has been a great way to make extra money and keep dogs around until we can have our own (we travel a lot, so we have not been able to adopt our very own just yet) we are used to host the pets we watch and love having them sharing our space. we are very responsible, very respectful and very caring. we have flexible schedules and are very active so we will make sure your dog gets his energy out. we have lots of references and will be happy to share it with you. my work schedule is from 9am-4pm and my husband has every other week off. During his week off he is free to walk/stop by/watch at our home anytime of the day. We both can be flexible. if I am not available, he probably is available as we have different schedules. we follow the client’s directions on how to take care of their pet. we do not disrespect client rules/directions as we would not like it to be done with us. we are mindful about poisoning food/plants to pets and rearrange what needs to be rearranged before pets' arrival.

About: I've taken care of many dogs and cats over the years. Walking dogs when I have the time and taking care of cats while their person was away. I know it's very important to know your pet is safe while you are away. I'm currently working part time as a freelancer and I have a flexible schedule. So I have plenty of time to walk dogs and care for animals. I know that routine is important to many animals. For my clients I am willing to be at their house following their instructions on how they regularly care for their pet.
