House Sitting Upper Rockridge

About: I come from parents who did Alaskan dog mushing with over 20 dogs. I grew up surrounded by dogs and have experience with many breeds. I know how to train, help with senior care, and provide any advice you’re looking for. I’m currently working part time, so I can quickly adapt to any pet or house needs you might have. I’m also very physically active so any further exercise is welcome! After growing up with dogs in the Alaskan wilderness surrounded by moose, I definitely have good habits of staying aware of my surroundings. I’ll be able to fully dedicate myself to your requests!

“Vivian, was thoughtful,, reliable and resourceful on a long house-sit with our two dogs (who are an absolute handful) and sweet kitty. Especially love how she stayed in touch and sent lots of pics. Can't wait to book her again.”

About: Hi! I am a dedicated pet sitter with three years of professional drop-in care in the Berkeley/Oakland area, and have been living with and caring for dogs and cats my whole life. My goal is simple, to keep your pet comfortable, safe, and happy while you’re away so you can have complete peace of mind! While some people think pets have simple needs, I know that they need and deserve more than just food, water, walks and a clean litter box. During each visit, I make sure your pet gets all the attention and engagement they want, whether that means sniffing walks, playtime, pets, lap time, or simply quiet time with a friend. I always aim to follow your pet’s routine and preferences to make them feel safe and reduce stress. I also understand that many pets can by shy or take some time to warm up to a new person, and have a lot of experience with shy and nervous animals and will make sure to be patient with them and make them feel safe during my visits. I take a patient, gentle approach and allow them to warm up at their own pace so they feel safe and secure. During visits, I provide:
 • Walks, feeding, fresh water, and litter box cleaning 
• Playtime and enrichment 
• Medication administration (if needed)
 • Lots of photos and updates after every visit 
• Anything else you need while on your trip (grabbing mail, watering plants, etc!) About me: I’m originally from Seattle and have lived in the East Bay for the past 8 years and I love it here! Outside of pet sitting, I work as a plant genetics researcher. In my free time, I enjoy knitting, going to the beach, and hitting up all the local flea and vintage markets. I’d love to meet you and your pets and provide reliable, attentive care for while you’re away! I have a pretty flexible work schedule and am available pretty much any day to come check on your pets after 3 on weekdays, and anytime on weekends. I have a lot of experience with shy/nervous pets, and am very mindful of new relationships between animals as well as new humans! I look forward to meeting you and your pets and creating a safe and happy environment:)

“Angela was great. Above and beyond, especially in responding to a few schedule curve balls. Great communication and only about important questions about Frida. Highly recommend!”

Andrew P.

“Lulia is great with picture and video updates. She was able to administer meds and eyedrops to my senior dog (16) and ensure he ate while I was away over the course of a week. She was patient and continued to find new ways to ensure he ate on days he was being stubborn because I wasn’t home!”

“Hyazinth was fantastic with our two cats - even our shyer one took to Hyazinth quickly. Hyazinth was super communicative with updates and photos of our cats, and was clearly cuddling and playing with them frequently. We have searched for a long time for a cat sitter we feel totally comfortable leaving our babies with and finally think we have found them!”

“Nicky took great care of Callo, and was super responsive. She also left the house in great shape. I highly recommend her. Thank you, Nicky!”

“Kat took great care of my dogs and my house while I was on vacation for 32 days. It was a big relief to know my dogs were safe and well cared for. I don’t travel much but I would be happy to use her services again.”

Lovell & Lucas J.

“Couldn’t recommend Eleanna more! She watched our dog and cat while we were away for a week and was very communicative the whole time. She sent us lots of pictures and made sure they both got lots of exercise and love.”

Maggie A.

“Shivani was so loving with our dogs and very communicative! My partner and I realized we were looking forward to new pictures several times a day while we were gone. It gave us such extraordinary peace of mind to know that somebody who cares so much about our girls was there, not only to feed them and give them their meds, but to keep them company and play with them.”

Joanne C.

“Hollie is wonderful! Very communicative, confident and knowledgeable with dogs, and we got lots of great pictures while we were missing our boy.”

Kathryn & Brock L.

“This is the second time Irina has house/dog sat for us, and the first time with our second dog. She is fantastic, and was so good with our nervous dog. She communicates frequently, including with lovely photos. It’s clear the dogs really love her, and she is great with them. She leaves the house clean, shows up on time, and is just an all around great dog sitter. We have already booked her for next time! Thanks Irina.”

Steph E.

“Lisette was wonderful, she took great care of Zoe and left the house very clean and organized. Would definitely book again whenever we are out of town.”

Tali F.

“Erik was on time, and friendly..I really liked him he was great with my dog, and cool to chat with. I'd definitely book with him again and I'd definitely recommend him.. thanks so much for looking after our Hammy and our home..”

Kat S.

“Sophia did a great job caring for our dog and cat while we were out of town for a couple nights. We appreciated her proactive and thorough communication and the updates she sent! She bonded quickly with our dog who is not always great with new people. She also gave a lot of tlc to our cat. Our house was spotless when we got home which was so nice to return to! Would definitely recommend Sophia and work with her again!”

Jessie B.

“Jack was very professional and helpful. He took initiative to be informed about the ins and outs of the gig and was highly communicative through to the end. My cat seemed very pleased with him as well. 10/10 would rehire.”
