House Sitting in Woodminster, Oakland

“This was my first time using Rover and I was a little nervous because I didn’t know what to expect, and Madeline was phenomenal. My dog, Swiffy, loved her immediately and she sent me thorough updates of their time together which really helped put me at ease and I was able to enjoy my event knowing my dog was being well taken care of. I would highly recommend her.”

“Charlii was wonderful! Kept us posted on how our pup was doing, as well as made sure he was warm and cared for during the cold wonder days. Highly recommend her to watch your precious fur balls!”

“Nikki was great! I loved the updates and pictures and felt really comfortable entrusting them with my fur babies :) I really appreciate how communicative and flexible Nikki was as well with timing and coordination. Highly recommend! will definitely book again :)”

“Jasmine was wonderful to work with! She and Pawlo bonded right away and I felt really comfortable leaving him with her. She kept me updated on how he was doing and sent me pictures. We (Pawlo and I) look forward to the next opportunity to work with Jasmine.”

“Melina has watched our puppies (and cat) several times now, and she is always such a joy to work with! Prompt, professional, kind, and most importantly-the animals are so happy to see her! Makes it much easier to be away when we have to travel.”

“Devyn was great! She was communicative and made sure we knew exactly was going on. Our boy, Moose, is shy but she was patient and loving with him even though he was standoffish. We will use her services again!”

“Elisa watched my dog Maude when I was out of town for a few days. She was super accommodating and flexible. She sent me lots of pics and updates and it looked like my dog, who has a history of separation anxiety, really liked spending time with Elisa. Elisa was also really great about leaving my apartment in the same condition I left it. I would not hesitate to book her for dog sitting or walking again.”

“Sarah was easy to communicate with and very responsive! She took great care of our little chihuahua, ensuring she felt comfortable in the space and with her new dog sitter. Sandy gave Sarah lots of kisses and love when we picked her up - she didn’t want to leave! Sarah sent us lots of photos and updates while she was sitting, and it looked like they had a lot of fun together. Fantastic sitter, I will book with Sarah again!”

“Kristine did a fantastic job watching our pups. 1 golden and 1 shy mini whippet. They love attention and she fit right in from the start. Showed up a day early for a meet/greet and asked all the right questions, immediately played with the dogs gaining their trust, and looked over our home with a keen eye. We will definitely book again, thank you for your care Kristine!”

“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!”

“Hannah was great! I needed a sitter last minute. She responded quickly and was able to come over right away to stay with my daughter’s dog Poppy. Hannah was good with Poppy, who has extreme separation anxiety. She panics when we leave the house. I really appreciated that Hannah was so flexible with our schedule. I will definitely call Hannah again. 🐾🥰”

“Shanley was wonderful during our recent 10-day house sit. She was super communicative, sent daily pictures of our cat and dog, and cared for our house like it was her own. We couldn’t recommend her enough!”

“Zsa-Zsa is professional and a delight to work with. I look forward to working with them again !”

“Alyson did a fabulous job taking care of our 3 dogs. She was professional and our dogs loved her. She sent pictures and updates daily. I appreciate her ability to manage our 3 dogs that are each so different.”

“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!”

“Dea was so great with Loki, I could tell from the photo and video updates that he was very comfortable and happy! Would absolutely rebook her services again and would definitely recommend Dea to anyone!”

“We had a perfect experience with Ruby. She supplied references, gave us updates on our dog's behavior and mood, was thoughtful when housesitting and let us know about anything unusual that she noticed. She sent lots of photos and gave us confidence that our dog was in good hands for our entire absence. We will be rebooking with her for sure.”

“Eva is a pet lover through and through. She has been around dogs and cats her whole life and you can tell in the gentleness as well as the understanding she brings to engagements with furry friends. She is importantly also responsible, detail oriented, and thoughtful.”

“Lauren and Justin were great! This was our first time using Rover and they made it a very positive experience. Lauren is very conscientious and kept us informed with regular updates about Loki. The house was in great condition upon our return. I will definitely book them again!”

About: I have owned 2 large dogs for 8 years now and have lived around dogs my whole life. I have an excellent understanding of dog temperament across many different breeds and love to walk and care for dogs of all sizes and ages. I consider dogs to be my children and treat them as such, so they will never be in a situation where they are uncomfortable, agitated, or scared. I also have tons of experience grooming both short hair and long hair dogs and can offer that as a service as well. I look forward to walking or boarding your fur babies! I currently work from home part-time and have a lot of flexibility during the day to care for dogs. I can offer multiple walks during the day and plenty of playtime while boarding! I have a large fenced yard and 2 friendly dog to keep your fur baby company. My house has ample toys and treats, and I am always home to keep an eye out and play with the dogs as well. On walks, I keep the dogs on leash at all times and will not take them to dog parks unless the owner permits AND until they see me as the pack leader. I don't feel safe with other dogs in that environment unless I am in 100% control of the dogs under my supervision.
