House Sitting in South Prescott, Oakland

“Madeline has stayed with Harley multiple times now, and she’s been incredibly attentive to his needs, communicative about how he’s doing, and flexible. She’s an awesome sitter that I’m glad Harley and I can rely on!”

“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!”

“Tanitsha is wonderful and easy to work with. She stayed with our pup over a long weekend and I felt so comfortable having her in our home. She was very responsive and kept us updated with lots of photos and videos. We will definitely use her again!”

“There aren’t enough words to express just how attentive and amazing Quishu is: Positive, dynamic personality with an ability to get zen when needed. She’s the kind of personality our beagles need. She followed all our doggie care and home instructions, it was such peace of mind. She sent frequent photos and videos which showed us that our adopted and often timid beagles trusted her, felt safe with her and were actually being their true goof ball selves. Most sitters think they’ll try to “fix” their issues which never works and creates a tense dynamic, but Qishu didn’t appear to judge us for all our instructions and expectations. She respected our requested level of care and the beagles and her bonded. Thank you Qishu!!”

“Korin sat for our 5 month old puppy and was amazing! She treated him with lots of love and as if he were her own dog, which we really appreciate.”

“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!”

“Cate is amazing. We recently moved to the area and Cate was very helpful in helping our young dogs stay calm and happy while we away for the weekend. She took them out on a great hike and gave them love and treats as we would have done ourselves. We know our dogs are in good hands with her and we will definitely use her again in the future.”

“Sam house and pet sat for us when our regular dog sitter was no longer available. We have one pup who is very skittish and we have not had good luck leaving her. She loved Sam immediately! Sam sent us pictures of daily walks, kept our home beautifully, and baked us cookies on our return. I cannot recommend him enough. Fabulous!”

“Sasha was fantastic. She was quick to respond and very communicative throughout the sit. Our puppy liked her right away and seemed to have a good experience with her. We highly recommend!”

“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!”

“Lauren has cared for both of my 65lb pitbulls for almost a decade. One has severe anxiety and pulls strongly on the leash, and she handles him so well. The other is highly reactive to other animals, and I’ve seen Lauren employ great strategies to distract and regain my dog’s attention to maintain control. It’s really challenging to find someone as committed to the success and well-being of your animals as Lauren is. I feel so safe with her watching my animals. Have recommended her on several occasions and will continue to do so.”

“Big thanks to grey for taking care of my puppy when I needed help last minute. He’s only 9 weeks old so he needs constant attention, it’s no easy task! I am super appreciative & I know my little pup is too!”

“Kaitlyn was an absolutely perfect sitter for our dog and cat! She took such great care of everything - including our garden. I cannot recommend her enough. :)”

“Emilia was fantastic with my cat Ravi! She has a lot of experience with and love for cats and it showed! She communicated with me when needed and provided regular updates and sweet pics. Hands down I will work with her again.”

“Juan Luis is an exceptional pet caregiver! His genuine love for animals shines through in his attentive care. Trustworthy, responsible, and compassionate, he's the perfect choice for your furry friend.”

“Karin was great and patient with apollo!”

“My usual dog sitter was booked for my trip and I found Iris. We scheduled a meet and greet so she could get to know Mimi; then she came a bit early on the day I left go on a test walk and let Mimi grow accustomed to a new dog sitter. Iris sent regular updates and it all went smoothly. I was very confident Mimi was in good hands. I definitely recommend Iris if you need a sitter for your doggo.”

“Elena took such excellent care of our little chihuahua, Wally! Elena took Wally on a hike and took excellent care of our home. Somehow our house was cleaner than we had left it. Thank you for all the love and care you showed our dog and home, Elena! I highly recommend Elena!”

“This review is long overdue, but definitely had to write one. John stayed at our house the week of Thanksgiving 2017. It was our first time using Rover or any dog-sitter service, so we were apprehensive in letting a total stranger in our home, but John definitely put us at ease. When he came to meet Bighead, of course they got along famously. You can tell John truly has a passion for dogs, and of course our dog loves anyone that'll scratch his butt. We explained any restrictions that Bighead had, and he understood and also offered his own tips as well. During our trip, we got daily updates/pictures from John. We really happy that Bighead had a companion in the comfort of home, rather than boarding him in a kennel, and John understood where we were coming from. He also let us know if there were any potty accidents and took the time and effort to understand what could have been causing this ::separation anxiety, we're still working on it:: And we really wouldn't have even known anyone was there at all. I would definitely recommend him to anyone that needs a dog sitter! Thanks again John!”
