Highly-rated overnight sitters - Oakland
“Brennen and her family took wonderful care of Memphis, my 13-yr Chocolate Lab. Due to his past before I adopted him from a rescue, he has a little separation anxiety, so we always do a “meet and greet” before the longer stay. After a few minutes, it was clear he would be fine for the weekend stay. They have a nice property with a fenced grass back yard for playing and exercise. Memphis and Brennen’s son became buddies over the 3 day 2 night stay. I highly recommend Brennen and will definitely have her care for Memphis when I can’t take him on future trips.”

“Evelyn was great with our girls! She gave them a cozy, comforting home while we were away, and they loved having a big fenced yard to play in. We could tell they were super happy and well taken care of. Definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone who truly loves dogs!”
“Jennifer has been the best dog sitter by far! She’s so attentive to my little baby’s needs and sends multiple picture updates daily.

About: I have over 13 years of experience as a veterinary technician, giving me extensive knowledge of animal health, behavior, and safety. I’m experienced in administering medications, recognizing signs of illness, and caring for pets with special medical needs. As a lifelong pet owner, I understand the trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else. I treat every pet like family and provide compassionate, personalized care for pets of all ages and personalities. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work full time, but I am available for morning and evening visits throughout the week and have additional availability on weekends. I make sure every pet receives the attention, exercise, potty breaks, and affection they need, and I provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pets are well cared for while they’re away. I tailor my care to each pet’s individual needs and routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. In my clients’ homes, I strive to maintain their pet’s normal schedule with feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of affection. I’m experienced in administering medications and caring for pets with special needs when needed. I always prioritize safety and closely monitor for any signs of illness or stress. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind knowing their pets are receiving loving, reliable care while they’re away.
About: What truly sets me apart is a lifetime of dedicated animal experience, combined with the discipline and reliability of my military service. I’ve been a devoted dog owner since the age of 13, giving me a full decade of hands on familiarity with dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and needs. Beyond household pets, I bring a unique level of capability honed by my time as a farmhand, where I gained invaluable experience caring for a variety of animals on a working ranch. This background ensures I’m not only comfortable and confident managing larger breeds or those requiring specific routines, but I also approach pet care with a heightened sense of responsibility, awareness, and maturity. When you entrust your furry family member to me, you’re hiring someone with instinct, professionalism, and genuine love that comes from a life spent caring for animals. I intentionally limit the number of pets I care for at any given time. This practice allows me to perfectly integrate their specific feeding, walking, and play schedules into my daily routine, ensuring every pet receives my full focus and attention, just as if they were my own. Whether caring for your companion in your home or mine, my primary goal is consistency and comfort. I seamlessly integrate your pet’s needs into my structured military before and after shift schedule ensuring highly reliable timings for feedings, walks, and medications to provide a stress free experience. While I am at work, your pet will have a secure, restful environment, and my off duty hours are completely dedicated to their enrichment. If I stay in your home, I treat your property with complete respect. My ranch background guarantees I’m adept at subtle health monitoring, so you can be confident your pet is not only receiving plenty of focused cuddles but is also safe, stable, and well-cared for at all times.
“Audrey was honestly the best. Our cat Nova had a great time and was obviously very cared for. Audrey had great and fast communication, kept us in the loop constantly. She also gave us lots of pictures. 10/10 would recommend.”
“Our dog loves staying with Evelyn. He gets great exercise and we receive plenty of updates and photos/videos. He definitely feels at home which makes for a worry-free vacation for us. Thank you for taking such good care of our pup.”

“We left Potato with Alise’s family for about a week while we left the country. We felt he was in great hands and never felt uneasy being overseas. She provided constant updates and photos of his stay. He loved his time with her family. And when we came to pick him up it was like he forgot about us and wanted to stay longer lol. Will definitely leave him with Alise again in the future. She even sent him home with some cute vegan treats :)”

“Kylie house-sat for us for a week with our two kitties, one of whom needed oral medication 2-3 x a day and she did great! She was super responsive throughout the week when I had concerns or questions, took great care of my kitties, and even cleaned up after a few messes that the kitties made. The house was in great shape when we got back and she even brought in our mail and packages for us throughout the week! Would definitely recommend her and would use her again! 💕🐈⬛🐈”

About: I’ve spent over 20 years caring for pets, and I truly believe they’re family—not just animals. I’m a proud owner of four high-energy dogs, so I’m very comfortable with active breeds, strong personalities, and pups who need both structure and affection. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or quiet companionship, I treat every pet in my care as if they were my own—because that’s how I’d want mine treated. I work from home - my role is very autonomous which comes with a lot of flexibility during the day to help care for your pet. I care for your pets in your home according to your preferences, routines, and safety guidelines. I understand how important trust is when welcoming someone into your space. I have four dogs of my own who are family, and I provide that same level of attentive, respectful care to your pets while maintaining a safe and calm environment.
“We were visiting Tifton, GA for a few days and wanted to find a sitter where our 2 year old active black lab could run and play and enjoy the day while we were sight-seeing. I requested the stay the day before and Michelle responded to my request within 15 minutes! Even though Michelle was 30 miles away from where we were staying, it was worth the travel to have a family so loving and attentive to Gus! Their home was perfect for Gus! Big wide open space to run, another friendly dog, Roscoe, to play with, and a dog-friendly home that met all his needs. If we are in this area again, we will definitely contact Michelle!!”

“This was our first time using Rover and Leigh was an awesome puppy sitter! We will definitely be using her again, it's nice to know our dog is well taken care of if we need to go out of town.”
“We left two our two Australian Shepherd mixes with Paola for the day while attending a family reunion from out of town and were happy with their care. The dogs were comfortable with her and enjoyed relaxing in her comfy air conditioned home on a hot day. She sent photos and sent them home with cute report pages about their adventures.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was little, growing up my grandma had a lot of dogs which started my love for them. I have taken care of many stray dogs around my area, i’ve also dog sitted for many local people in my hometown neighborhood. I’ve handled cats, rabbits, horses, and even turtles lol. Small or big , Reptile or mammal I love them all unconditionally :). I currently just got out of the military, so my schedule is always free. I’m available monday-friday maybe even during the weekend. I don’t really take too many trips so I could be available during holidays as well. I have a fenced in backyard where your fur baby is free to play whenever. I have 3 fur babies of my own, very friendly to other animals and they love to play. I also interact with them outside daily so if your fur baby loves to play he or she will have lots of company to do so.
About: We are a military family, we’ve moved around quite a bit and have opened our home to so many dogs in so many different states. I have 3 kids who are used to animals (especially bigger dogs). We have a private yard (unfenced, leads and leashes used and always supervised). We recently welcomed a dog permanently into our home so we do have one female dog in the house, she is crated when needed and very friendly otherwise. I’m home all day and would love a buddy or two to join us from time to time! I only ask that dogs are kid friendly! We don’t mind animals on furniture but will adhere to any at home rules you may set (if you don’t allow them to do certain things at home, I won’t deter any training and let them do it here and vice versa!). Crate trained dogs are preferred but definitely not required! Just know a lot of dogs may do better in a new setting by having their own spaces to retreat to! I’m a stay at home mom, other than school drop off/pick up & errands, I’m home to care for pets in my home or visit a pet in their home We treat all pets like they're part of the family. When it comes to caring for pets, I'm all about creating a cozy, safe, fun environment for them. From belly rubs to fetch sessions, I'd make sure they feel right at home. We live on a private road with plenty of space to run around. Whether it's a scratch behind the ears or a tasty treat, I'd give them all the love and attention they deserve. And you can bet I'd be sending you cute photos and updates to let you know they're in good hands!
“My husband and I had to take a long day trip to house hunt and needed someone to watch our 11 week old puppy while we were gone. Daisy will be our go-to forever now! She treated Rookie like her own, giving him love, treats, respecting how we were training him, and kept us updated throughout the day. I was worried about leaving my puppy and having him regress, but he thrived there and didn’t have one accident! I know this is due to Daisy being attentive and so kind. It was also a dreary, rainy, muddy day and she just embraced it and let the dogs have fun too. My pup and her pup had a blast. Can’t wait to Rookie to spend time with Daisy again!”
“Our puppy had a great time! This was his first time away from us so I was nervous, but Matthew sent me pics and was very communicative. I felt confident he was in great hands. Thanks!”
“Luiza took amazing care of my pup. She clearly made Zoey’s care and well being a priority . I felt very confident and safe leaving Zoey with her and will certainly contact her again if we are in the area .”
“Isabela was able to accommodate us last minute on a holiday, which was super helpful to our situation! Our dog had a great time, and came back to us super happy. Thank you!”
“Gloria was a lifesaver! We needed a last minute dogsitter and she and her family took excellent care of our pup. She was very thorough in the care even for watching him for a short time. I highly recommend her!”
“Andrea was amazing with our new rescue. She was responsive and worked with our crazy schedule. Rev came home tired and happy. We will definitely look Andrea up again when we’re in town.”

About: As a proud pet parent to my 2-year-old teacup Yorkie, Hailey, I understand that pets are so much more than animals—they’re family. Caring for Hailey has given me hands-on experience with daily walks, feeding schedules, playtime, grooming, administering basic care, and recognizing when something just isn’t quite right. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member, and I treat every pet in my care with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, lots of playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply having a calm, comforting companion while you’re away, I’m committed to making them feel safe, happy, and loved. My goal is to provide reliable, compassionate care that gives you complete peace of mind, knowing your pet is in caring hands until you’re back home. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable care throughout the week.

I also have experience working as a Veterinary technician at our local vet office. I’m currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to play with your pups! I’m mostly available throughout the week aside from occasional shifts starting after 4 pm. I live on a small hobby farm, so I have a large fenced property as well as a smaller, more private fenced area. I have friendly dogs of my own.

“Jacquelyn was absolutely great with my 90lb German Shepherd. She kept me updated the entire time and made sure he was back safely in our home. Highly recommend for daily dog walks.”
About: Not only have my family & I have had animals since I can even remember that I would help look after! I’ve been pet sitting for the last 10 years for friends, neighbors, and even coworkers! I currently am serving at Shaw Air Force Base! I have time in the early mornings and mostly all evening. My schedule is pretty flexible! Safety for your pet/s is my number one priority! Whether that’s with going on walks or caring for them inside your home. Your furry friend is safe with me!
About: I’ve never had a pet of my own but intention, agility, compassion and fun is the heart I lead with animals as a whole. I love meeting new fur friends. I volunteer with a pet adoption program Wednesday’s & Friday’s at Pet smart. I have church Sunday morning’s until 1pm. Every other day of my week is pretty open until I am reemployed. I am actively trying to become a professional groomer. I’m working on being CPR/First Aid for cats and dogs. I’m not stranger to family and neighborhood pets and my hands on training with pets is continuous. I plan to always give an update on the areas I grow in. I’ve only ever nested chickens in my home. I’ve never had a pet, cat or dog, but my home remains clean and well maintained. Very air sufficient as well. There is no negligence in my home. Whenever I’ve pet sat for family, I follow through with the instructions and notes given to me to treat their pets needs. Frequent updates are always made. The home is always how they left it if not better and the fur baby is well taken cared of.
About: I’ve had my own 3 dogs for the last 6 years. Before that, I would take care of my friends animals. I often dog sit and cat sit for close friends and family. Figured I would do it on here, too! I have trained all of my dogs, nothing crazy. Just the basics. One of my dogs does have health issues and another has really bad allergies so I definitely know what it’s like to have a certain routine per animal. All my animals needs are different and I’m here to provide that to lessen your stress ☺️ All day, all night!!! I am also able to travel. I drive a lot so I don’t mind if I have to travel a bit. I would love for the pet owners to give me a run down no matter what! Even if your animal is low maintenance. My dogs are high maintenance so I’m also used to that. I just like specific instructions, I feel it makes it easier for everyone involved! Especially if I’m pet sitting in your home. That’s your safe space.
“Martina has been extremely reliable and patient. She’s always communicative during the walks and keeps me updated, which I really appreciate.

About: I have experience taking care of a Doberman in the past for 2 years. I’m very familiar with homes with multiple dogs and cats in the house. I’ve also volunteered to walk dogs at a local shelter. I work full time Monday through Friday so the best time for me is the weekend. You can go on your weekend getaway with a peace of mind. I maintain a clean, safe, and pet-friendly environment. I will follow all owner instructions carefully, prioritize each pet’s comfort and security, and ensure constant supervision and responsible care.
About: I’ve had and taken care of dogs my whole life! I have experience with young, senior, active, and working dogs. My family dog growing up was born deaf and with a thyroid condition so I am very familiar with medication admission or other disabilities. My husband and I often work different shifts so someone is often home with the dog(s). I have no problem moving work around to care for your furbaby! I have a fenced in yard and large home. There is only one dog and plenty of room for the dogs to stretch their legs or spread out. I am active and will run or walk your pet!

“Brennen and her family took wonderful care of Memphis, my 13-yr Chocolate Lab. Due to his past before I adopted him from a rescue, he has a little separation anxiety, so we always do a “meet and greet” before the longer stay. After a few minutes, it was clear he would be fine for the weekend stay. They have a nice property with a fenced grass back yard for playing and exercise. Memphis and Brennen’s son became buddies over the 3 day 2 night stay. I highly recommend Brennen and will definitely have her care for Memphis when I can’t take him on future trips.”

“This was my first time using Rover, and I was so happy with Kayla and Jonathan. I would absolutely use them again. We were travelling internationally and Kayla was amazing at communicating throughout the whole process. She was very flexible, and when our return flight was delayed (significantly) she was very accommodating of a change in pickup time. I had no worries whatsoever for the time that Jesse stayed with them. They made travelling so much easier by providing peace of mind that my dog was well taken care of.”
“Yentl was a God send!! Sage was very comfortable with her and was excited to see her again! You can definitely trust Yentl with your fur baby, she is amazing! Sage will definitely be back!”
