House Sitting in Seminary, Oakland

“This was the first time we left our puppy with someone and it was a good experience. Jason is reliable, responsible, he is very good with sending updates and correspondence. We were happy to have him stay with our puppy who needs a bit of extra care. Jason made sure he gets the attention he needs and we returned home to a happy puppy.”

“Devyn was absolutely amazing! This was the first time we left Scout with someone who was not a family member so I was understandably nervous. Devyn came and met scout before we left, sent us constant updates and photos while we were gone and answered any questions or concerns I had while we were gone. She left our home cleaner then we did before we left! We will definitely have her stay with Scout when we leave again! Thank you!!!”

“Victoria was very professional and went out of her way to come early and leave late at night to take care of my older dog! We really enjoyed working with her! I would recommend using her if you need some help with your fur babe/babies!! She stayed with my dog for 2 days and when I got home you couldn’t tell anyone was here because everything was as we left it. Thank you Victoria!”

“Amazing sitter! Jill took excellent care of my 2 dogs! Was very attentive and loving as if they were her own! I will definitely be re-booking in the future.”

“Jene was amazing! She is very responsive and kept me updated throughout her stay with my pup. When I returned, my dog was relaxed and happy. Jene clearly took very good care of her :)”

“Nancy house sat and watched my 1yo Yorkie/chihuahua mix and 5yo cat for a long weekend. The dog, who usually takes a minute to warm up to people was instantly enamored with Nancy when she came to visit before the sitting. She did an excellent job while I was gone!”

“Korin was amazing at keeping in touch and looking out for our indoor/outdoor cat. Our cat is special in that she thinks she’s part human and part dog, and meows at the door to go in and out, and we can’t have a cat door because she likes to bring home live animals from time to time, so we shopped around on Rover till we found Korin. Korin has a very easy and calm demeanor, was incredibly responsive and communicative from start to finish, sent proofs of life etc, and left our home immaculate. We’ve already booked her for a second stay. Thank you Korin!”

“Michaela was excellent to our baby-already rebooked her for another sitting. Sent photos, Took him on a super long walk, he was a sleepy happy baby when we got home”

“Dennis was a pleasure to met and had a great attitude about taking care of our furry baby boy Petey. He did a great job! I would definitely recommend him and would use his services again.”

“Nina was communicative, thorough, and perfect with our dogs! We have 3 large dogs and Nina did a wonderful job taking care of them, as well as our house while we were away. Will absolutely become a repeat client”

“Matt took great care of my dog, Koji. Koji is a very skittish and nervous rescue so finding a sitter for him has been difficult, but Matt provided expert and professional care. Communication was easy and he sent updates throughout my trip. Would definitely recommend.”

“Grace was fantastic at taking care of Huck and keeping him exercised and happy. She stayed at our home for the weekend while we were away, and made sure to review all of our materials to keep up his normal routine, played a lot with him, and took him for a 2+ hour hike over the weekend. She also left our apartment in great shape! Looking forward to working with Grace again as needed.”

“Shayan is an incredible person and is absolutely amazing with animals! She's taken care of my cat more times than I can count and has done a wonderful job - she sends pictures whenever I'm out of town that make me wish I were home with my cat!! I trust her with my own pet and have recommended her to friends and family, and they've all loved her and how she's cared for their fur babies. She's also a vet tech (and on her way to being a veterinarian), which sets me at such ease, knowing that she would know exactly what to do if there were any kind of medical emergency or issue that came up while I was gone. Overall, she's wonderful, responsible, experienced, and pets love her!! I really can't recommend her highly enough :)”

“Jasmine was an excellent house sitter! When I came home my cat was calm and content and the apartment was how I left it. Jasmine was easy to work with and I recommend her. I will be reaching out the next time I need a house sitter!”

“Hieremila was an awesome house guest and pet sitter for my dog Tam! I went out of the country for a little over two weeks for my cousin's wedding and was looking for a sitter who could not only keep Tam company throughout the day and at night but also cater to Tam's needs. My dog can be a bit reactive to new guests and other dogs; she is also on daily anxiety medication and can get frustrated when things don't go her way. Hieremila's energy and calm demeanor was very reassuring during our meet and greet so I felt good about leaving Tam with Hieremila. Though I'm sure there was an adjustment period, I appreciate Hieremila keeping in touch and communicating with me throughout my trip about how Tam was doing. Thanks Hieremila for sending both photo and video updates!! I also appreciate Hieremila working to keep Tam's attention as I know she can get pretty distracted out of the house and on walks. Also, thanks for jogging with her and introducing her to new dog friends :) Thanks for also looking after the house and keeping my plants alive! Much appreciated!!”

“Sarah and her partner Embry really came to our rescue when our original house sitter bailed halfway through our time away. We reached out to them day-of with an urgent request for a new house sitter and they were very responsive and understanding of our situation and so patient as we worked together to coordinate a remote handoff of our spare key and house/pet care instructions. Even though they were just finishing a stay with an existing client, they came over as fast as they could and went above and beyond with their care. They checked in often (which was so appreciated since we were abroad and scrambling to make sure everything at home was ok), followed our pet care instructions to a tee, and even took the time to do some cleaning/laundry which we were not expecting but were so thankful for. Connecting with Sarah and Embry turned a stressful situation into a positive experience and we're happy to have met such reliable and caring sitters! We will definitely be reaching out to them for help again in the future.”

“Spirit was a joy to have house sit my cat Porcini for a week! She was super thoughtful and gave my cat lots of affection. A picture of my little guy was received everyday. I would definitely book again!”

“Njeri was fantastic with our dog and cat. She gave regular updates and brainstormed with me what to do when my dog wasn’t eating normally. I would ask her to stay at my house again anytime!”

“Watched my dog for a week and did a great job!”

“Jasmine was fantastic--super responsible and a great house-sitter, our dog really seemed to love spending time with her, and we'll definitely be working with her again!”
