House Sitting in Upper Dimond, Oakland

“Ashley is awesome! She came to my home and took care of my brand new puppy, who has quite a demanding schedule. I was a super anxious new puppy mom and she put me at ease, kept me updated, and was super flexible and accommodating. Basil loved her and I felt like he was in great hands. Absolutely recommend!”

“He followed all of my instructions to a T and was a great house guest. I really appreciate how fast he communicated with me throughout the process. My dog normally barks at people and his calm presence was a nice fit to keep Kuta calm.”

“Dane agreed to dog sit for me at the last minute when my dog was having some health issues and I was worried about leaving him alone. Dane was so positive, friendly, and attentive! I will definitely seek him out in the future with any dog sitting needs.”

“Anais went above and beyond to provide loving care to our dogs - who can take a while to warm to new people. Anais was so patient and diligent with them - and communicative with us - we knew our pups were in the most capable and caring hands. We are so grateful. 🙏🏼”

“Meshaal took great care of our 55 lb pup and our cat in our home while we were on vacation! They were thorough in preparing for the job, very communicative while we were away, and followed all of our feeding and exercise instructions. We would definitely have Meshaal sit for us again!”

“G’La was amazing! She took such great care of Tuna and Finn while we were away for two nights and two and a half days. I felt totally at ease knowing they were in good hands. She was communicative, kind, and clearly loves animals — Tuna and Finn were so calm and happy when we got back. Couldn’t recommend her more. Will definitely be reaching out again!”

Lorraine V.

“Zsa-Zsa was wonderful! She took such great care of our three cats and kept us updated with regular messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away.

We came home to happy cats and a tidy home :) I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and attentive sitter!”

“Aman was great house sitting our dog. It was our first time using Rover and I created some confusion but he was very gracious and helpful. Sent plenty of photos and was very communicative as we had a few unexpected packages show up. Even offered to was some dishes we’d left behind! Oh and our dog loved him. Wouldn’t hesitate to use him again!”

“Hiring Charlii to care for our two 13-year-old dogs for eight days was one of the best pet-related decisions I've ever made. Our sweet goblins are rescues with pretty complex medical and emotional needs, and Charlii handled it all with ease. One of them struggles with being left alone for more than short periods of time, and Charlii was great about hanging out with him and taking him on little adventures when she needed to be away. Our other pup is dealing with chronic kidney disease, she can be a mess (literally), but it didn't seem to phase Charlii at all. Her daily updates were frequent, including lots of photos and videos, which really helped me relax and enjoy my vacation. She handled medication (including oral) with no problems and was very attentive to all of their other needs & quirks. We also returned to a tidy house and even some welcome-back flowers, which was lovely! After the pups joined our family and we discovered how needy they were, I was afraid that I'd never be able to leave town again. I knew there was absolutely no way I'd be comfortable boarding them after the trauma they'd experienced with abandonment and living on the streets. Charlii saved us! It was such a relief to know our guys were safe, healthy and getting lots of love while we were away. We'll definitely be having Charlii back. She has such a warm, professional demeanor and is so reliable that I'd never hesitate to recommend her. The pups and I are super grateful!”

“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.”

About: Our pets are family. My approach is a balance of attention and simple structure that makes for happy socialization. My partner and I have always had cats and dogs and I have experience with everything from puppyhood to the special healthcare challenges of senior pets (including administration of oral meds and injected insulin) I used to walk dogs back in college as a part-time job. Now, I am excited to make some new 4-legged friends and get out for some exercise together. I work from home part-time and with a very flexible schedule. If staying with us, in addition to walks, your doggie will have full access to the yard during the day to sunbathe and play. If house sitting at yours, I will be on hand with your pet at a minimum in the morning, for a few hours mid-day, and then all evening and night. We have a large fenced yard and two small, friendly pups (9lb young female yorkie and 12lb female coton de tulear) to play with. "The girls" are not crated at night, but I am happy to set up your pup's normal sleeping area if staying with us. For dog walking, I do adventures with priority given to clients located in Oakland's Laurel, Dimond, Maxwell Park, and Redwood Heights neighborhoods. Ideally, your dog loves walking with some friends, but we can customize for personal pup needs.

“Juniper is a nervous cat and it’s easy to see when she’s upset because she’ll hide and, fun fun, throw up. I could tell that Kerri took great care of Juniper because when I got home Juniper was calm and loving. Kerri’s pleasant and easy to work with. I’d definitely hire her again!”

“Rebecca has so far sat for both of my dogs twice, and I can confidently say she did a wonderful job. I have a 4-year-old dog and an 8-week-old puppy, and she came in really open minded to them both being at such different stages in life and not being used to many other people. She's really patient and was willing to help me out during an overnight work shift, which I really appreciate. I felt at ease knowing Rebecca was going to be there which allowed me to not stress over the pups while at work which is a wonderful feeling. I really trust her, and I look forward to working with her again in the future!”
