House Sitting in Shafter, 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!”

“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!”

“Val was absolutely amazing taking care of our nervous chocolate lab, and also plants, fish, and the house for 2 weeks. She sent pictures every day and we were so relieved to see our pup was doing perfectly fine and much more relaxed in his own home and with such a great sitter! Val is responsible, professional, attentive to detail, and was able to accommodate our needs and requests. We are so happy we found her and hope to see her again! Highly recommended!!! Thank you so much Val!🙏🏻”

“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!”

“Sophie did a fantastic job sitting for our house, two dogs, 6 chickens and many plants! She's a great communicator and enthusiastic pet lover. She sent daily dog photos and kept the house so clean it was hard to tell anyone had been there. I will highly recommend her for house and pet sitting!”

“We love Lexa! She watched our puppies twice and each time she was here before time! She took the boys on a very long walk and they were both nicely tired. Totally recommend!”

“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!!”

“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.”

“Lina (Evangelina) did an excellent job looking after our pups! She did everything we asked and more! It was really easy coordinating the stay with her and she gave us a sense of confidence that our pups were in good hands! I would definitely recommend her.”

“Alison was our go-to sitter for our dog, Susan. She is attentive and responsible, and I knew that whenever we would be out of town, the house and the dog would be in great hands. I know she's also a loving dog mother herself. I totally trust her with my pets!”

“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!”

“Wonderful experience with Aleta. She was always super prompt to respond during the booking process, came to my house beforehand to meet my critters, and left my home in great shape, even stripping the sheets she slept on and starting a load of wash (which I hadn’t asked her to do). She sent me periodic pictures of my pets so I knew everything was ok and she took care of the other things I needed (mail, garbage). I completely endorse her and will book again next time! Thank you Aleta!”

“Linda was a great sitter for my affection starved cat. She made sure he was fed twice a day, and had given him plenty of human time. She sent photos as well. I highly recommend Linda for caring after your pets. Very happy indeed.”

“Angela was amazing! She offered to do a meet and greet before sitting, which was perfect for my dog who is a little wary of new people. I also got plenty of updates and pictures. And I was able to enjoy my time away worry free because she was in such good hands.”

“Keara was great! Relaxed, thoughtful, and good communicator. We will definitely ask for her help again.”

“Paula did a fantastic job as our dog sitter. Great communication and she was really good at managing our nervous dog. We were so happy we picked Paula to dogsit for us!”

“Vivyana was very responsive and took great care of our energetic dog! She even took him out for a long walk. Would definitely recommend her!”

“Ecem was great with our pup, Louie! We contacted her last minute and she was super responsive, flexible, and punctual. Louie can be a bit anxious when we leave but he warmed up to Ecem almost instantly and we could tell he was very comfortable in her presence. We would recommend Ecem to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate caretaker for their pets.”
