House Sitting in San Pablo Gateway, 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.”

“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.”

“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!!”

“Tanitsha is extremely capable and careful. I believe my dog misses her already? I returned to a clean and neat house. Bed stripped. Towels in the dryer. Thank you, Tanitsha!”

“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!”

“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)!”

“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!”

“We loved having Grey housesit! We have border collie mixes and although they’re older they like to go out to play frisbee and sniff around at least once a day. Usually 20 minutes is enough and Grey was dedicated in finding the time despite some inclement weather. We received a ton of pictures and Grey was very communicative regarding the girls and our cat, Mordecai’s spirits. He was very accommodating regarding packages, thoughtful about our neighbors, and we came home to sweet smelling puppies and a clean house. An absolute pleasure! Would highly recommend and will be looking to book him on our next trip out of town (:”

“Cate was excellent! We hope she will be available again for our future trips. She gave our pups lots of snuggles and care. She was very thorough during our meet and greets. She was very nurturing to our puppy that has not been socialized. Additionally, she was very understanding and caring to our older pup that was having major separation anxiety issues. She handled everything professionally and with grace. Cate also has a very friendly, warm personality which made me feel comfortable with leaving her with our dogs for 10 days.”

“I hired Linda to take care of my 9-month old kittens for a long weekend. She was a prompt communicator (which I greatly appreciated) and did a good job helping the kitties to feel comfortable around her. As a bonus, she and left everything very clean, and just as she found it.”

“Spirit was a fantastic sitter. Our cat Calvin often takes a while to warm up to people, and he was very quick to connect with Spirit. Our house was in good order when we came back, and Calvin was clearly well taken care of in our absence. An absolutely great sitter, would book again!”

“Christine has sat for Disco twice and has always been super communicative and caring for my little guy! She sends tons of photos and I know he's in good hands when I'm away. I was on a camping trip with no cell phone service and I didn't worry at all leaving him with Christine.”

“Emily did such an amazing job with Kona. He experienced some pretty severe separation anxiety while she was with him and she handled the situation with so much kindness. Emily, we are so grateful for you!!”

“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”

“Karin was great and patient with apollo!”

“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.”

“Iris was amazing with our three big, energetic dogs. She took very good care of them and kept the house clean, which was a very pleasant surprise, because that is not easy with our dogs. Definitely recommend her!”

“Wenjie has done a great job looking after my pets. He's responsible, attentive, and clearly cares about animals. I felt confident leaving my pets in his capable hands and would definitely recommend Wenjie to other pet owners!”

“So friendly and responsive! She took great care of our pets and kept us updated during the stay. We will definitely be rebooking. Thanks for a great time.”

“Beth was fantastic! She was on time, incredibly responsive, and just overall a totally awesome person. Bonzo had a great time and was well looked after. She was respectful of my home and even went the extra mile to accommodate my schedule/rescheduling. Thank you!! Will rebook again for sure.”
