House Sitting in Skyline-Hillcrest Estates, Oakland

“This was our first try using Rover, and we were so happy with Jason’s professionalism and care of our 6 month old puppy! Jason was flexible with our last minute timing, and agreed to doing a house sit from 8-5pm - a full day! He also agreed to do a FaceTime meet & greet within a few hours of booking him, and he was diligent about asking great questions and taking detailed notes on the proper care and regimen for our pup. He was knowledgeable about caring for dogs as he has 3 of his own! I could sense his warmth and how he truly cared for dogs on the first phone call. Additionally, he arrived on time so that I could prep him again on our puppy’s schedule. He sent many pics throughout the day, and took our dog on 4 walks before the day was over! He was so easy to work with, super professional, and warm/nurturing. We will be hiring Jason again as a repeat sitter. We highly recommend him for all of your dog sitting needs! Thanks Jason for a great first experience with Rover!”

“Devyn did a great job, house was left in great condition and the animals were all happy. They’re not easy either, dog has lots of anxiety, takes several complicated medications, etc. Thanks Devyn for rolling with our household for the night!”

“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.”

“Did a wonderful job taking care of our dog. Great communication and updates.”

“Nancy watched our 8 y/o Australian Shepherd and home while we were out of town for 3 days and I came back to a very happy dog and clean home! I appreciated the updates and the obvious care and attention she gave our dog. Would recommend her to take care of your pets or house while you’re away!”

“Jill was fantastic! We got updates every day with photos, activity updates and cute comments. I our dog got plenty of exercise and was taken to all kinds of places. She also paid lots of attention to our shy cat. When we came home, our house was immaculate and our dog almost didn’t want to leave her side! ( he finally figured out who pays for his treats?) We would hire Jill again without hesitation!!!”

“Jay took incredible care of my dog and I could tell how happy and comfortable he was with her. Jay left the house in great shape, as well. I will def book again.”

“Charlii is an excellent pet caregiver! She has given lots of love and attention to my two dogs and one kitty while I’ve been on trips over the last few months. Her attention to detail in caring for my pets and my home while I’m gone is such a comfort. My furry family loves her! Charlii is awesome!”

“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”

“For the past five years, Sophia has taken care of our 12 year old dog Pepper, and 6 year old cat Brix when we have gone out of town. It was apparent from the beginning that Sophia really loves animals. Our pets were always very well cared for with regular walks for Pepper and combings for Brix. Each time we came home to a clean house and contented pets. I highly recommend Sophia to provide the loving care that your pets deserve!”

“Spirit was a fantastic overnight sitter for my cat. She was super communicative and took great care of my cat who needed meds 2x a day. She also left my place super clean and neat. Would definitely rebook and recommend her!”

“Njeri was awesome with our dog Ollie! She’s super professional and very communicative. We felt very comfortable leaving Ollie with her for a week and came home to our house very clean and taken care of.”

“We hired Sarah to house/pet sit for us for just under a week. She stayed in our home and took care of our 6-month-old puppy, our 2 cats, and our 6 chickens. Also an assortment of plants and bonsai trees. This was our first time ever having a sitter stay at our home. Sarah was awesome! She sent pictures during our time away. It was clear that our puppy Taco was having the best time. Our cats and chickens and plants were well taken care of. We even had the unique situation of having home inspectors come during Sarah's stay (we are preparing to sell our home) and she was very accommodating to that. We arrived home to happy pets, a clean house and fresh sheets already on our bed. Thank you Sarah!”

“We were so excited for Dylan to take care of King! He has great communication, questions, energy, and King adored him right away. Unfortunately, we didn't end up needing a pet sitter because of the great Southwest Airlines meltdown of 2022, but we're looking forward to booking Dylan in the future.”

“Nicole is absolutely amazing. I cannot express how grateful I am that she took care of my fur baby and sent me a tons of updates. She was kind to get a meet and greet in before the official stay which really helped calm my nerves and my pups. Told her about my anxiety leaving my baby and she was so kind about it. She truly loves caring for animals. I recommend her 10/10! She is my new go to and I have already booked her again. Thank you Nicole!”

“Super wonderful! Alyson was very accommodating to a last-min need of mine and my dog really enjoyed her. She asked great clarifying questions and took important COVID precautions. Will book again :)”

“Erica is a gem!! She has such a good relationship with our German Shepherd mix, Otto! He’s a rescue who has some challenges and can be reactive so we didn’t want to work with just anybody. Erica is experienced, calm, confident, and upbeat and works so well with him and he’s totally relaxed around her. She prioritizes relationship-building with the dogs she works with and you can tell she loves Otto for who he is, quirks and all. She stayed at our place to dog sit for the past week and sent daily updates of him beaming from ear to ear! She made sure he was exercised and got all of the love while we were away—it’s like he had his own stay-cation! We can’t thank you enough, Erica!”

“Genoa is a very caring & responsible pet watcher. She can be trusted to house sit, watch dogs, cats & also birds. She has taken care of my dog on many occasions & is always reliable & trustworthy. She is responsible, dependable & honest. She is also willing to do some minor household chores such as taking out the trash & bringing in the mail as part of her duties. I highly recommend Genoa!”

“Julie has pet sat for us several times, in this incidence we had a urgent situation in which we needed someone immediately. Not only did Julie show up in a stressful situation she gave so much love and attention to our fluffs to help them with the transition as well. Highly recommend.”

“Casey was wonderful! Communicative, caring, and attentive to our little pup throughout the visit. Would definitely book with Casey again.”
