House Sitting in Upper Laurel, Oakland, CA

“Checkers seems to feel safe and loved whenever Melina cares for her. We love receiving photos while away. She’s a wonderful caregiver to our pup.”

“Angie was great. She was very responsive and kept us updated throughout the entire time she took care of both our pups. The pups were healthy and happy and our home was kept clean. We would have her house sit for us again.”

Esteeve T.

“Korin was amazing as usual. She took great care of our pup while we were away and shared regular updates/photos. Louie loved playing with her and was clearly tired and happy when we got home. Thanks, Korin!”

“Qishu was amazing with our high energy dog and extremely communicative with us. We received lots of updates and pictures over all the days we were gone. We would unreservedly recommend Qishu to anyone!”

“G’la was great with our two dogs! We loved all of the wonderful pictures she sent and our dogs clearly had a good time. She even went above and beyond to coordinate visits with our landlord while we were away. Thanks, G’la!”

“Jessikah is an incredible pet sitter! She spent a long weekend house- and pet-sitting for me, from a Thursday evening through Sunday evening, staying overnights. She kept my house very clean, watered my front garden, and - most importantly - was super attentive to both of my pets. My cat is not particularly fond of new people, and Jessikah really put on the effort to put Angrboda at ease and try to get her to play, despite being hissed at. My dog is easier, but Jessikah went the extra mile cuddling with him loads and walking him (he pulls; walks are optional) during her stay. I got incredible photos of both pets every day. When I got home from my trip, my pets were not stressed and anxious that I'd been away, which is extremely important to me. I cannot recommend Jessikah enough, and I am so happy to have found another pet sitter I can rely on and call back for future travel.”

“Dane was kind, patient, and understanding with our kitties and with us as well! My partner and I had an out of town emergency family, causing us to need to leave last minute & change our booking multiple times. Dane was flexible and understanding throughout the process. Our kitties were very new to our house and skittish, but Dane was gentle with them and helped them get comfortable with him very quickly!”

“Laura’s first time dog sitting for us went smoothly. This was an overnight trip. She sent us photo updates and was responsive when we texted to check in. When we got home, the house was tidy, their water bowls were filled, and Cannoli and Da Vinci were in good spirits. We’ve booked Laura for an extended stay while we’re on an international trip. Thanks, Laura!”

“Alyssa is a wonderfully pleasant sitter to work with. She is always willing to help us out and has great availability. She cares for our mini dachshund like it is one of her own dogs. We are so appreciative of her support with our old pup.”

David H.

“Hamed was awesome, our dogs love him (and so do we!). He gave them lots of attention and playtime with other dogs. We so appreciate the care and love he gave them while we were away and we look forward to working with him again in the future.”

“Salina was very punctual and communicative. She stayed at our house and took care of our senior dog and outdoor cats for 2 days and we felt totally comfortable with her making sure everyone was well taken care of!”

“Shivani was incredible and the best sitter we’ve had! She took such great care of our pup, our two cats, and our home. Our pup is fairly reactive and has some big feelings about the world, so it can be hard to find people she is comfortable with. She seemed to be quite at ease with Shivani and enjoyed her time with her! Our shy cat also loved Shivani! Shivani also sent a lot of updates about our pets, which was soooo incredibly helpful and really put us at ease while we were away! Truly can’t say enough positive things about her and we will definitely ask her to sit for us in the future!”

Kat T.

“Ammy watched our dog at our apartment for a long weekend and we felt very at-ease while away. She comforted our nervous pup during the 4th of July fireworks, in which we were grateful. Ammy’s communication, kindness, and wit are the perfect combo for dog responsibility. Will definitely book in the future with her.”

“Sarah was wonderful! She was easy to communicate with and our pup was well cared for. 5 stars for sure 🎉”

Carolyn G.

“Charlii treated Wes and Margot to a wonderful week of walks and playtime when we were away. She provided lots of lovely updates and videos and gave such great care to our two pups 😍”

Rachel S.

“Erin was amazing. My dog has anxiety and normally when I return from a break he is a nervous wreck. It was cleared he spent his time with Erin alternating between snuggles and hiking. We received many photos and had great communication the whole time we were away. The house was left spotless and possibly cleaner than before!”

About: I love animals! I have been lucky to have had so many loving and wonderful cats and dogs in my life. I have had my own pets, as well as taken care of numerous friends pets over the years. It's fun taking care of new pets, they all have such unique personalities! I can administer medications, and I'm very good at following all your instructions to best take care of your critters. I moved to the Bay Area in 2025, and I'm excited to be here! I have a flexible schedule, and I'm happy to spend plenty of time with your pets. I am very good at following your directions on when and how much to feed your pets, when they are used to their walks, etc. I have administered medication to pets. I very much care about the safety and well being of your fur babies.

“Victoria was an excellent sitter! She did a great job taking care of our very energetic dog and was communicative throughout our trip. Would definitely recommend her!”

Erin B.

“It was wonderful to work with Kimberly. She was able to care for my daughter’s 2 year old Malamute-Husky mix, Kazami, during Thanksgiving weekend and we couldn’t be more grateful! Kimberly is very knowledgeable about dogs and gave Kazami a lot of love and attention. We’re looking forward to working with Kimberly in the future!”

“Nina was wonderful! Very good with our pets including a very young bottle fed kitten, a senior dog, and our sassy high energy bulldog. Highly recommend!!”
