House Sitting Piedmont

“Hollie is wonderful! Very communicative, confident and knowledgeable with dogs, and we got lots of great pictures while we were missing our boy.”

“There aren’t enough words to express just how attentive and amazing Quishu is: Positive, dynamic personality with an ability to get zen when needed. She’s the kind of personality our beagles need. She followed all our doggie care and home instructions, it was such peace of mind. She sent frequent photos and videos which showed us that our adopted and often timid beagles trusted her, felt safe with her and were actually being their true goof ball selves. Most sitters think they’ll try to “fix” their issues which never works and creates a tense dynamic, but Qishu didn’t appear to judge us for all our instructions and expectations. She respected our requested level of care and the beagles and her bonded. Thank you Qishu!!”

“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!”

“Cara did such a wonderful job taking care of my 4 cats and dog while I was away. She was communicative, thoughtful, and sent lots of updates and photos that made me feel so much more relaxed. My dog Maverick is usually very nervous around strangers, but he really warmed up to her by the end, which says a lot. I came home to very happy, well cared for pets and I’d absolutely trust her with them again.”

“Nicole took great care of our dog and we came home to a happy pup. She kept in touch with updates and pictures and was very accommodating. Would absolutely recommend her.”

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.

“Trustworthy sitter that was super flexible with our schedule and attentive to our pup’s needs! House was spotless and dog was happy upon our arrival home. Will definitely plan to invite again!”

“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.”

“Barbara has taken excellent care of both of anxious/reactive big dog, and our home while we have been out of town. She is reliable and so helpful, I never have concerns leaving Rocky in her care. I recommend her to anyone looking for care for their pups!”

Annie C.

“Angela was great. Above and beyond, especially in responding to a few schedule curve balls. Great communication and only about important questions about Frida. Highly recommend!”

Andrew P.

“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!”

About: I'll give your pets the attention and care they need, through tug-of-war, cuddles or even just my presence at home. I'm also happy to take your dog on adventures if you're comfortable with it :) I'm currently looking for work, so I can be present as much as your pets need me to be. I only need to leave the house to go to the gym or sports practice. As an animal lover, I'll pay close attention to how your animal is feeling, and make sure they get the attention and care they need. I'll also take care of your home and leave it clean and well taken care of per your instructions.

“Dennis came highly regarded- and now we know why! He followed our instructions perfectly, was super communicative, insightful, and kind. Our pets were happy and content for the full 7 day house-sitting stay and we are so grateful. I think our dog is going to miss him! 😂 Thank you, Dennis!!”

Holly B.

“Hyazinth is the cat sitting we’ve been searching for since moving to Oakland!! So kind & caring with our cats and home and so friendly & easy to communicate with.”

Lily A.

“Nati helped us out with a last minute request and she was so attentive, nurturing and caring for our dogs. She gave us daily updates and took exceptional care of them and our home. It made our family vacation care free. Highly recommended her!”

Jennie C.

“Tami was the absolute best! She sent me lots of pictures and updates on Maggie while I was on vacation and made sure she got plenty of walks and pets and cuddles! I could not recommend Tami enough.”

Jessica S.

“I can’t say enough about how great Kasey was watching over my 2 rambunctious kittens, but also my apartment. The place was super clean when I returned, maybe even more clean than how I left it. She was extremely responsive and gave me bi-daily updates with photos and videos of how they were doing. She played with them, cuddled with them, and genuinely enjoyed their company. And my kittens absolutely loved her. I felt so at ease being out of town. 10/10 I would hire her again to watch my cats and apartment. Thank you Kasey!”

“Rich is absolutely outstanding. This was the second time he stayed with Remi while we were away for nine days, and I didn’t worry once. Remi is a young, sensitive dog with anxiety and a very specific routine, and Rich handled everything with incredible patience, skill, and genuine care. He did Remi’s mat training, gave all of his medications, took him on walks, managed his anxious moments with calm confidence, and followed all of the routines we’ve worked so hard to establish. It was clear that he cared about helping Remi feel safe and successful, not just getting through the day. Rich also sent thoughtful updates and photos throughout our trip, gave us a detailed report when we returned, and left our house spotless. Finding someone you trust with a dog like Remi is priceless, and Rich has earned that trust completely. I would recommend him without hesitation to anyone, especially if you have a dog with anxiety or behavioral needs. We feel incredibly lucky to have found him.”

“We love working with Anais! Her care of our senior Schipperke, Maz, has been expert and attentive. Being 17 years old, Maz has a lot of needs and Anais has cared for him both during the day and overnight, and we've been so grateful for her attentiveness to him around his routine, his meds, and for making sure he feels taken care of and loved. We're so glad we connected with Anais and will definitely be contacting her in the future!”

Lauren A.

“Ida and Travis did an amazing job, would 100% recommend them! I have a cat that can be fairly mischievous but they were fully prepared and my kitty was in great hands. They followed all the instructions, and updated me frequently which was so nice. Came home to a clean house and a happy kitty! Thanks so much!!”
