House Sitting in Oakland

Harley was very relaxed and obviously well-cared for when we returned home. Akiko handled his medications and digestive issues well. We already have her booked for a future trip.

Jade was a wonderful caregiver to our three beloved pets. It was incredible how quickly our dog and two cats took to her as evidenced by the immediate lap sits occurring on her first day. And the gifted mouse by the cats the next day. We couldn't be happier, the house was cared for and pets very happy to have Jade as their new friend!

Carly was great for our zoo of 2 cats and 2 dogs. She was willing to come meet the animals quickly before the date of her services since it was so many animals and an overnight stay. She sent so many pictures and video updates it was great! She also messaged with any questions that I was unclear about to make sure that the animals were taken care of as intended. Would highly recommend her!

Shivani is amazing! Both of my dogs trusted her right away, even Maisie, who is reactive and fearful of people. She followed all of my super detailed, complicated instructions to the T. Best of all is the photos and videos of my dogs that she sent me all day long, as well as texts letting me know how my elderly dog was doing with his challenges of eating and moving around. It's hard for me to leave my dogs, but I will have no problem leaving them with her again after hearing Shivani talk so kindly to my dogs in the videos and seeing so clearly that they felt really good around her.

Christina is great with Ziggy and leaves my house so clean!

Vanclee was absolutely wonderful once again. This was his second time sitting Hampton and Neko, and they were genuinely excited to see him when he arrived, which immediately reassured us that they remembered and enjoyed him from the first stay. This trip was the longest we’ve ever been away from the pups (13 days), but Vanclee truly made it easy and stress-free. He was prompt and communicative on handoff day, followed all instructions carefully, kept the house tidy, and most importantly took excellent care of Hampton and Neko. He went above and beyond in several ways. He watered our plants without even being asked, and knowing that one of our pups is older, he voluntarily used his work lunch break to give Hampton a midday walk, which meant so much to us. We felt completely at ease knowing our home and pups were in such good hands. We’re incredibly grateful and would absolutely recommend Vanclee to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and genuinely caring sitter. We will definitely book again.

QiShu was great. As we hadn’t met before, she came over for a meet and greet a few days before the stay. This proved beneficial as our dog is a bit cautious around new people, This meeting helped break the ice. On the day of stay, QiShu was great with updates and handled the stay perfectly. Our dog obviously took to her during the stay. Couldn’t have asked for more.

Issel took great care of my weens. She made sure to send updates as asked and was communicative. I came home to a clean apartment and happy dogs.

This was our first time using Sophie. She was wonderful with our cats and the house was perfect when we returned. One of our cats is super skittish but Sophie kept trying to earn her trust. She really went the extra mile and we're so appreciative. Our other cat fell head over heels in love with Sophie!!! You should hire Sophie. You won't be disappointed.

Dale was amazing!! Lola was in the best hands while we were away for a week. We received daily pictures and endearing updates about Lola and their walks/hikes. Dale was super responsive, caring, reliable, and an overall pleasure to work with. We could tell Lola had a great week :) we’ll certainly book with Dale again!
