House Sitting in Peralta-Hacienda, Oakland

“This was my first time using Rover and I was a little nervous because I didn’t know what to expect, and Madeline was phenomenal. My dog, Swiffy, loved her immediately and she sent me thorough updates of their time together which really helped put me at ease and I was able to enjoy my event knowing my dog was being well taken care of. I would highly recommend her.”

“Melina was an amazing sitter and proved to be absolutely perfect for a week long house sitter for our dog who struggles with separation anxiety. She provided updates multiple times a day with photos and description of the days activities. She followed our instructions to a T and we could tell that our dog was super happy with the experience upon our return. Will definitely book Melina again if she is available when we need a sitter for a long weekend.”

“Grace stayed in my home and watched my two fur babies (5-month-old kitten and 3-year-old cat) for 10 days/9 nights and she truly did the most amazing job—I really can’t recommend her enough!! I’m new to Rover and was hesitant to have someone I don’t know stay in my home for that long but Grace was so kind, trustworthy, and thoughtful. She was very quick to respond to my messages and sent me thorough updates every other day with lots of adorable pictures of her playing with my cats, which made me so happy. My kitten is a ball of energy and is still learning how to navigate the litter box (sometimes she steps in her poop) and required some medication while I was away. Grace had no issues administering the medication, she did an awesome job monitoring the poop situation, and played with her a ton (my kitten is probably disappointed that I came home from my trip 😂). Also, I cleaned my home before I left and when I returned, it was just as clean (if not cleaner) than I left it. I will 100% be a repeat client! Grace is fantastic!!”

“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.”

“Wow, where do I start? Jana is such a great sitter, super communicative and anticipates my cats and my needs before I even ask them. She really sees my cats unique personalities, and I can tell from the photos she shared that they really trust her. She got my shyer cat who typically hides for days to sit with her on the very first day! She left my house sparkling clean. I trust Jana completely.”

“Thanks for taking such great care of Sofia!”

“Jill is so awesome. She watched our little chihuahua mix and our outdoor cats for a little over a week. She was super communicative and thoughtful. Our animals were well cared for. We felt extremely comfortable having her stay at our house. And like all her other reviews, we were super grateful and amazed on how well she left our house! It was so clean, maybe more clean than when we left! Hopefully we can book Jill again.”

“Qishu was great with my dog! She has a hard time warming up to new people and Qishu was very patient with her and gave her lots of extra TLC. I got lots of pics and updates so I knew she was in good hands. Would definitely recommend and book again!”

“We felt so comfortable leaving our dogs with Korin! She kept us updated and was super communicative. We came home to happy dogs and a clean home”

“Katie was great with our two aussies for an overnight house sitting! they were tired and happy when we got home, and she left the house clean. Thanks so much Katie!”

“Devyn (and her daughter) were absolutely great with our girl Shasta. Gave her lots of love and attention and followed our instructions to a T. She was also flexible and understanding when we were a little late getting home. I wouldn’t hesitate to call on her again anytime!!”

“Alyssa is great! Jumped right in and was up to the challenge of caring for our puppy (house training, teething, mega energy, etc!)… She was super communicative, providing updates throughout our time away, and left our house spotless. We’re excited to work with Alyssa again, and highly recommend her for excellent, thorough care of your beloved pet(s)!”

“Lauren and Justin were so great watching my Lucky boy! They kept me updated everyday and sent me the cutest photos while I was away and even left me some cute polaroids of Lucky when I returned home! I returned to a very clean house which made my long journey home so much better! I will definitely have them watch Lucky again because I know he loved them and felt super comfortable with his new friends!”

“We are repeat customers for over a year. We continue to seek Jason’s help with our 2 year old rescue. Jason is so meticulous and keeps close attention to detail. Jason is able to track changes from month to month as our puppy has grown to changes from day to day, however Arlo may be feeling, especially with his separation anxiety. I can travel at ease knowing Jason is caring for my pup.”

“Maia has always been good with animals, whether her her own or someone else's. She is active enough to keep up with excitable dogs and relaxed enough to manage nervous cats (like my own). If you're looking for someone to watch over your pet, Maia is a good, reliable option.”

“My dog is usually wary around strangers, and he was happily jumping up on Molly the first time he met her! I felt completely secure leaving him in her calm, capable care for almost 2 weeks. Molly was wonderfully communicative throughout the entire process, including sending photo and video updates. She also had to deal with unexpected crate rest the last three days when my dog happened to have a flare up of a condition during her stay. She dealt with taking him to the emergency vet with incredible grace and compassion, stayed with him as much as she possibly could and kept me abreast of the situation. She also took beautiful care of my home. I would highly recommend her!”

“Dennis is wonderful and we can’t wait to work with him again. He took great care of Bruno and our home. Dennis provided photos and updates on Bruno while we were away and our home was spotless when we arrived home. Highly recommend’”

“Jillian was super for my old dog Shane. He immediately took to her on the meet and greet, and she quickly understood his personality and needs. Shane was very relaxed when I return from the two days away, indicating that her felt very comfortable with Jillian being here with him. She also left the house in very good order, including a couple of nice extra touches.”

“Hieremila was an awesome house guest and pet sitter for my dog Tam! I went out of the country for a little over two weeks for my cousin's wedding and was looking for a sitter who could not only keep Tam company throughout the day and at night but also cater to Tam's needs. My dog can be a bit reactive to new guests and other dogs; she is also on daily anxiety medication and can get frustrated when things don't go her way. Hieremila's energy and calm demeanor was very reassuring during our meet and greet so I felt good about leaving Tam with Hieremila. Though I'm sure there was an adjustment period, I appreciate Hieremila keeping in touch and communicating with me throughout my trip about how Tam was doing. Thanks Hieremila for sending both photo and video updates!! I also appreciate Hieremila working to keep Tam's attention as I know she can get pretty distracted out of the house and on walks. Also, thanks for jogging with her and introducing her to new dog friends :) Thanks for also looking after the house and keeping my plants alive! Much appreciated!!”

“Caleb was thoughtful and attentive with our 1-year old energetic puppy. Our dog immediately loved him and then we got daily updates and knew that Caleb was taking good care of our dog. He house-sat and we will definitely want to have him back!”
