House Sitting in Sausal Creek, 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.”

“Wow, what to say about Grace? Nothing but good things! My partner and I went on a 9 day trip to Europe and, before we went, I was extremely nervous. Like most people, our 2 dogs (and 1 cat) have a very particular schedule and I was so worried that no one would be able to take care of them the way WE did. I’m so happy to say that Grace immediately put those fears to rest. At my request, she sent twice daily updates, along with photos, showing her adherence to the pets’ routines. We still retained our dog walker and he had nothing to report but positive things about Grace and her care of the animals. We even had a friend stop by (did I mention how nervous I was???) and she had nothing but good things to say about Grace. Grace took all of my instructions and nerves with aplomb, and, dare I say it, grace. We’re so happy with her services and hope she will sit for us again soon!”

“Thanks for taking such great care of Sofia!”

“Dea was so great with Loki, I could tell from the photo and video updates that he was very comfortable and happy! Would absolutely rebook her services again and would definitely recommend Dea to anyone!”

“Korin is absolutely fantastic- she’s a great communicator, was so kind and gentle while also being “in charge” with my reactive dog. She sent great updates and pictures and I can’t wait to work with her again!”

“Melina was a huge help in a pinch when my sitter cancelled. She was attentive and sweet with my pup and sent many pictures and updates throughout the day! Would love to have her help again and recommend her greatly!”

“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.”

“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!”

“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!”

“Absolutely thankful that Hieremila was able to jump in last minute and give us peace of mind that our dogs were being properly cared for while we attended to a family emergency.”

“Rachel's been so wonderful! She's stayed with my cat during a few trips, and when I've come back, he's been calmer than he ever was after other travels. For the day or two after she leaves, he gets excited every time he hears the door, thinking it's Rachel.”

“I couldn’t recommend Lauren more. She was excellent with my little guy, looked after my house beautifully and was very communicative.”

“Marina was very responsive to text messages. She was on time and professional. She sent picture updates so we could see how Bailey was doing. Will definitely book her again in the future!!”

“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)!”

“Bianca was reliable and a good communicator. She did all I asked with my dog and cat and sent me photos of a happy dog. I hope to be able to have her again”

“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.”

“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!”

“Hans has walked my dog and done occasional house-sitting for my dog and two cats over the past two years. I am disabled so cannot walk my dog as often as she needs and Hans has been an amazing help. My dog, Sadie, loves him and is always happy to see him. The cats love him too and enjoy playing and cuddling when he has pet-sat for us. Hans is punctual, a great listener, and kind. I highly recommend him for any/all of our pet care needs.”

“Sean has stayed in our home a few times and has always been dedicated to the care of our home as well to the care of our big cat and a few backyard chickens. He has been our friend for several years. He is attentive to all of our instructions, always contacts us if he has a question or any (possible) concern, and always leaves the house at least as good as when he arrived. Sean's standout skill is that he is so very gentle and patient with our shy cat and he truly enjoys giving her all the attention she wants, including making sure her specialty dietary needs are met. We recommend Sean without reservation!”

“Maria took fabulous care of my anxious dog and house sitting while I was away. Maria spent lots of time with Pinky, and giving her walks and love. She left my place in great shape, and Pinky was calm and happy when I returned. I would absolutely book María again and recommend her.”
