House Sitting in Peralta-Laney, Oakland

“So glad I found Cathy! Communication was easy, she sent lots of pictures and daily updates while I was away, and I swear my house was cleaner when I got home than when I left ? . My cat was happy, so I was happy, and we'll definitely be booking her again.”

“sasha was amazing!! this was our first time spending an extended amount of time away from our pup and sasha’s care and updates allowed me so much peace! our pup irie was also just finishing up her first heat cycle and it was so helpful to have sasha be comfortable in caring for irie in this time, and helping irie be comfortable in her own home during this time. it was also a pretty last minute request, so to have sasha be so responsive and adaptable was so helpful. 11/10 recommend and irie looks forward to spending more time with sasha in the future!! :)”

“Charlii is great - our dog Finn adores her, and rightly so, because she takes him everywhere and they see the world together. She's excellent!”

“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.”

“Lauren was excellent! She took great care of our two dogs for 4 days and shared plenty of updates with us the whole time, which we really appreciated. She spent a lot of quality time with them just hanging out, and gave our high energy pup lots of ball time to tire her out. We definitely recommend her!”

“Sophie did a fantastic job sitting for our house, two dogs, 6 chickens and many plants! She's a great communicator and enthusiastic pet lover. She sent daily dog photos and kept the house so clean it was hard to tell anyone had been there. I will highly recommend her for house and pet sitting!”

“Shelly was a great sitter! She kept me updated with adorable pictures of Felix and made me feel at ease with leaving him home alone for the first time. She was dedicated to making sure Felix had everything he needed, thanks so much!”

“Alex has walked my large, anxious dog and pet-sat my energetic kitten multiple times. They also helped my kitten while he was sick and I was very grateful for their attentive and thorough care. I trust Alex to be kind and responsible to my pets and I look forward to them caring for my creatures in the future :)”

“We booked Liz for two house sitting trips now and we've been so impressed each time with how well she cared for our cats and home. Will happily rebook!”

“Victoria was the best! She sent pictures daily and was extremely communicative. Our pets were well cared for! We will 100% be asking her to come back next time we are gone.”

“So happy with the service. Lots of photos and videos and she took care of my doggie like she would her own. 10/10 impressed and I was able to enjoy vacation without worrying about my dog.”

“Rayshell was a lifesaver when a friend couldn't cat sit for us. She was very communicative and I could tell that my kitties were relaxed and felt self. I will book Rayshell again.”

“Cate was absolutely AMAZING! Our two dogs, Ruca and Max, can be a handful for my fiancée and I but Cate handled them with ease. We needed to leave town rather quickly and Cate was more than gracious to accommodate our ever-changing schedule. With pictures and text updates we were relaxed about the whole process and were very pleased to have our dogs watched by her. She took them on 3 walks a day and fed them twice a day as well. She played with both of them, and upon our return home, found happy and healthy pups! We would HIGHLY recommend Cate and the Rover service to anyone in the Alameda area. Her prompt responses and flexibility only added to the amenities of this services. Thank you Cate! And looking forward to having you watch Ruca and Max in the near future!!”

“Ashleigh did a great job with Baxter, and I will definitely be using her services again! She was punctual and provided multiple updates with fun details and pictures. She followed instructions and asked good questions about Baxter's care and my place for housesitting purposes. Thank you so much, Ashleigh!”

“Christine stayed at our house and watched our senior dog for 10 days. She handled all of his quirks in stride, gave him his medication each morning, and checked in with us regularly. Our dog is 15 years old and does not like change. Christine was able to adapt to how he was doing to keep him comfortable and happy. It was so reassuring to have her taking care of our old guy, so we could enjoy our vacation.”

“Sarah did such an awesome job taking care of my dog, Noodle. Traveling internationally for 11 days was a lot for a new rescue, and Sarah handled everything with care and professionalism. I felt great knowing Noodle was in good hands, and I would recommend Sarah to anyone with pet care needs. Thank you Sarah!”

“Kristi did an amazing job watching our four dogs for us while we were out of the country. She communicated and followed instructions perfectly. We came home to a clean house and happy pups!”

“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!”

“Jasmine was wonderful to work with! She and Pawlo bonded right away and I felt really comfortable leaving him with her. She kept me updated on how he was doing and sent me pictures. We (Pawlo and I) look forward to the next opportunity to work with Jasmine.”

“I have known Owen for a very long time (family friend) and he has been wonderful with my dog and cats. He is gentle, with a very calm demeanor and he’s very responsible. When i leave town i know he’ll feed them as directed, give them affection, walk my dog and lock the house up when he leaves. I have recommended him to friends and would do so again.”
