House Sitting in Piedmont Pines, 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.”

“Dea was great with our senior pup and I felt confident that he was in good hands. Dea is easy to communicate with and provided photos and updates. We came home to a happy, sleeping dog and an immaculate house. 10/10!”

“Melina took great care of our pups and cat while we were away! One of our dogs has anxiety, so it was great to see her warm up to Melina fairly quickly during the meet and greet, and she even got her out for some socialization. Already planning to book with her for our future trips!”

“Thanks for taking such great care of Sofia!”

“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!!”

“Tea was great. Our Ozzy is a large and energetic Lab mix who loves to walk and run. We were away for 13 days and Tea took him on many trips to the regional park where he could run off leash. He has good recall and Tea was able to control him. We received pictures and updates every day from Tea about their daily activities. We could tell when we got home that they developed a good relationship. We highly recommend Tea.”

“Katie was amazing with my dogs. One had had a dental 24 hours before and needed supervision and meds. She was also with them over 4th of July, and as you other dog pawrents know, it’s a scary time to be away from your pups. After meeting Katie briefly prior to the visit I felt so safe leaving them in her care. She left the place clean and well taken care of. Kind, conscientious, trustworthy and fabulous with dogs!”

“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.”

“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!”

“Went above and beyond dog and house sitting for my 2 pups. Christine gave lots of updates, sent photos and videos, and spent tons of time with our dogs. She took special care of our shy dog and played ball with our energetic terrier. She also left our house neat and clean! Have already asked her to watch our pups again.”

“Shanley is simply amazing. My old guy was perfectly relaxed when I returned home after several days away, confirming that Shanley took great care of him while I was gone. She also left the house in perfect order. She is the best!”

“Alyssa was incredible! She took amazing care of Pip, was super communicative, and went way above and beyond! I felt 100% comfortable knowing Pip was getting lots of love and attention while I was away!”

“Marina is thee best! My kitties - Sunny and Dibs - love her. She’s always so tidy and had the best attitude. And she’s a vegetarian!”

“Our elderly dog was safe and happy while we were on an extended vacation out of the country. Jason communicated with us as we discussed prior to our trip and everything was taken care of just like we planned.”

“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.”

“Jasmine was an amazing sitter! She treated our 2 dogs like they were her own and followed all of our instructions perfectly (did I give her several pages of information? Why yes I did)! We could tell the dogs were perfectly at home while under her care and our house was spotless when we came home. The boys clearly loved her and we will absolutely use her from now on any time we need some help!”

“Life saver for a last minute trip I had. Else had very good communication and sent several pics and videos during the dog sitting. Would recommend and definitely use again. thanks!”

About: I love dogs & cats. I've been a dog walker, but also a house-sitter. I go for any breed, just as long as they're nice to me. I think if I were to have a dog of my own, it would be like the one I grew up with: part American Eskimo & part Coker Spaniel...sadly, she passed away when I was 13 or 14. Her name was Sandy. Also, pit bulls probably get a bad rap these days...just depends on how you treat them. I've also owned a cat. Unfortunately, I must point out that I don't drive. I'm an only child, so I love the company quite a bit. I'm currently unemployed, so my schedule's an open book. I'm a good communicator. I have a fenced in back yard, so there's no way to escape, but still plenty of room to roam around for you little one.

“Kit did an excellent job taking care of my dog, Derby! She was a loving caregiver and very responsible. I felt safe knowing that my pet was in good and capable hands”
