House Sitting in 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.”

“Melina was wonderful taking care of my special needs chihuahua. She sent me video and picture updates every day, several times a day (which I so appreciated). She made sure my dog took her medications on time and was thoughtful about all of her needs. She was responsive and so easy to coordinate with. I will definitely be utilizing Melina’s services again.”

“Thanks for taking such great care of Sofia!”

“Tanitsha is amazing, and I feel lucky we found her. Professional, on time, responsive, kind, and GREAT with our two old, reactive, neurotic shepherd and pit-mix pups. She went out of her way to make them comfortable and we can't wait to work with Tanitsha again.”

“Charlii was genuinely one of the very, very best sitters I've found on Rover, or anywhere. She was thorough, clear, precise, and communicative. I am tender and picky where my dog is concerned, she handled this firmly but with aplomb and excitement for my dog, Mia, to have a great time. She sent frequent pics and stories, and I could tell by what she wrote she was keeping my animal good, appropriate, stimulating company. Strong strong recommend; the kind of small business you want to work with!!!”

“Lauren was excellent! She took great care of our two dogs for 4 days and shared plenty of updates with us the whole time, which we really appreciated. She spent a lot of quality time with them just hanging out, and gave our high energy pup lots of ball time to tire her out. We definitely recommend her!”

“Anais did an amazing job of taking care of my dog and two kittens while we were out of town. She sent me photos, kept me informed with regular updates of how everyone was doing, and even noticed a potential health issue that I am having checked out. Can’t recommend her enough!”

“Beki is an excellent, reliable dog walker! I have had her walk our Golden now several times when we are out of the house for the day. Jojo (the dog) absolutely loves her and I'm so glad we've found a trustwothy walker in the area. We've also had Beki dog sit for us while out of town which has gone great - she always gives lots of updates and everything goes very smoothly. Would definitely recommend her!”

“Alyssa stayed in our home and watched our two dogs, cat and guinea pigs for three nights. She was very communicative and always very quick to respond to any texts or questions. She was also very accommodating, in regards to our schedule that ended up changing a bit. She was tidy and thorough. We will definitely love to rebook her in the future. Thanks Alyssa!”

“Spirit went above and beyond for me and my pup at the very last minute. Our original sitter had to cancel on us merely days before my partner and I left to go on a 10 day vacation so I started to message Rover sitters in a panic until I stumbled upon Spirits profile. Spirit came over the very next day for a meet and greet and the rest is history. My old pittie is a huge couch potato and just wants to snuggle, and she warmed up to Spirit within seconds. Spirit has some kind of superpower with animals and it shows. Between taking care of her, catering to her senior doggy needs, feeding her with her special diet, and overall loving Sandy, my pup is completely smitten with Spirit. She’s 100% my go-to sitter from now on! Everyone should book with Spirit for wonderful care for their sweet animal children :)”

“Ann Marie always took amazing care of my cat. She would provide great updates with each visit, including pictures and a run down, and was always super friendly. She even made my cat a toy that she still plays with to this day.”

“Grey was awesome! He asked all the right questions, which helped put us and Pawlo at ease. He was genuinely sweet and gentle with him. We are looking forward to work with Grey again!”

“Hyazinth is the cat sitting we’ve been searching for since moving to Oakland!! So kind & caring with our cats and home and so friendly & easy to communicate with.”

“Sam house and pet sat for us when our regular dog sitter was no longer available. We have one pup who is very skittish and we have not had good luck leaving her. She loved Sam immediately! Sam sent us pictures of daily walks, kept our home beautifully, and baked us cookies on our return. I cannot recommend him enough. Fabulous!”

“Wenjie did so well with our cranky old dog, taking care of the dog and apartment equally. He is cheery, responsive, and responsible, and we would book him again for Henry in a heartbeat”

“Ray is amazing with pets. She has pet sit for us several times - we have 2 dogs & a cat. She adores pets and goes the extra mile to take care of them and have fun with them. She is extremely responsible and communicative. Highly recommend!”

“My dog Vinny is always so happy to see Temitayo. He’s Vinny’s favorite dog sitter. He sticks to his routines with Temitayo. I know when Vinny gets taken out for a walk that Vinny is going to be taken care of.”

“If I could leave 6 stars I would! Beth swooped in and helped us at the very last minute when our sitter fell through. She watched our dog and cat and sent so many wonderful pictures and updates throughout the week. I never worried that my fur children were not being well cared for and she treated our house with such respect. She was so thorough during the meet and greet and put my mind at ease never having used Rover before. She went above and beyond to care for our pets. Thank you so much Beth!”

“Karin was great and patient with apollo!”

“Donna was super sweet, helpful and great at communication! She even showed up early to help me out for the last minute booking. Thanks so much Donna!”
