Responsible, non-smoking animal lovers, will travel & pamper your precious pet/s
Kimberly and her husband were the most amazing house and pet sitters. They took Rip to so many cool places like Schooners on the beach, walks around the marina, and several walks in the neighborhood. Kim stayed in touch with lots of fun photos. Rip absolutely loved them and they left my house immaculate. I would love to have them over again plus highly recommend them as sitters.

Retired couple with decades of experience loving dogs.
Beth and Marty were amazing house sitters! Our house was as clean and as tidy as we had left it (if not more!) Everything was immaculate. Our animals were treated beautifully and Yuki adored her caregivers. We would recommend Beth and Marty to any house owners, they are respectful, friendly and caring folk. They were great communicators and we felt very comfortable having them in our home. We would have them back anytime.

Treating your fur family and home like our own
KC and Noah were gracious enough to come sit for me again on short notice. I absolutely cannot recommend them enough, both because they take such good care of my pup and because they honestly leave the house cleaner than they found it!

I am a life long traveler and a dog owner. I'm also really good with plants.
We knew that our home and our pets were in good hands when we met Dave upon his arrival. And he did not disappoint! The pets were loved and cared for even with complicated feeding instructions. We came home to find our home clean, the pets happy, and even the bedding changed. We highly recommend him and would welcome him back whenever our schedules match up again!

Active 50-something couple interested in both urban and rural house/pet sits
So happy to have met Chris and Edward. They are a wonderful couple and took great care of with our fur babies. So much so, that we contracted with them for a second sit.

Reliable, responsible gal looking to provide peace of mind during your vaca!
Missy was a great house guest and dog sitter! She communicated well before and during the sit, as well as being extremely tidy. We returned and found the house in perfect condition and Diesel in good spirits. I highly recommend Missy as a zeewoi!

Your Pet's Staycation: Love, Care, and Wagging Tails
Cindy provided excellent pet care as I expected (this is her second sit for us). She was good about keeping us informed on weather and potential house damage. She's a great guest too and always leaves our place so neat and tidy. I hope she chooses to sit for us again in the future!

Reliable and loving pet-sitter
Missy was a wonderful house/cat sitter. Don't hesitate to select Missy. She's very friendly and personable. The cats took to her immediately. She took wonderful care of my cats and frequently sent me pictures, which I really appreciated. The house was spotless when I returned, which was a delight. Missy was quite flexible when a car problem delayed my departure for a day. I would highly recommend Missy.

Professional pet sitting family that will give your pet the love they deserve!
McKenzie, Mike and their three kids flew in from Iowa to sit for us. McKenzie's friend in Sacramento just had a baby, so it was a win-win. From our first Facetime, I felt very comfortable and confident that my cats and home were going to be in good care. Once they arrived, I got daily pictures and updates. The kids played with the cats and made friends with other children on the street. All my neighbors thought they were a lovely family. The house was left clean with a nice note, flowers and donuts. I would definitely recommend McKenzie and her family and hope they will come stay again in the future.
Cynthia was a perfect pet sitter for our little kitty. We knew from her extensive experience with cats that Nala was in good hands. She was extremely responsive via texts when we were away, ensuring us that the 2 of them were having a great time. She went absolutely above and beyond by scrubbing our bath and toilets to remove our mineral deposit rings that we haven't been able to get rid of! She even left the name of the product she used so we can get more in the future. The house was cleaner than when we left. We'll have her back anytime!
Great pet sitter - took perfect care of our cat and our home. They were super communicate leading up to and during the sit and left our apartment in great shape. I'd absolutely recommend them to any future sitters!
Kira was the best sitter we have ever had! I chose Kira because of her reviews, ability to sit during the dates I needed and willingness to communicate with my daughter/neighbor who co-parents Colby with us. I am always a bit anxious about having someone in my home and trusting them with our fluffy son. Kira put us at ease almost immediately. I received photos and videos everyday throughout the stay. I got updates on Colby’s activity and the fun they were having together. My heart felt full knowing that Colby was being well loved and cared for. Additionally, Kira was so kind to keep us posted on any deliveries that arrived at the house. Finally, when I arrived home, the house was tidy and clean! Again, I am so grateful that Kira was there keeping the house and my cat safe! I hope she will come back and sit again. I know Colby would love to see her again.
After seeing the numerous positive reviews, I knew Cung would be an easygoing and professional cat sitter and house guest, and he was :-) Easy communication, prompt updates and clear concern for Boz & Artie's wellbeing, and pictures of cozying up on the couch together all made our time away secure and stress free. Upon returning home, the cats were chill and the apt was left spotless, as though he hadn't even been there.
Amanda is truly our trusted sitter "find"! She comes back regularly, so much so that our kitties think she is their secondary owner! Always reliable, clean, responsible and most of all loves our cats as much as we do! Good communicator, self reliant - all in all a perfect "10"!
Marianna was an incredible house sitter and cat sitter. She gave our property and sweet kitty top notch care. She is kind, easy to communicate with, thorough, etc. Would highly recommend her, you will not be disappointed.
Lindsey watched our cat and dog for a long weekend when we went out of town. She was a very communicative sitter sending frequent pictures and voice notes with updates. She did a great job of following their schedules and giving them attention. The animals seemed to be happy and relaxed when we returned home and I believe Lindsey enjoyed getting to discover all of the eateries our town has to offer. A win-win for everyone!
Heidi was an outstanding cat sitter for my Luna! She was very communicable via calls or texts. She followed all my guidelines for feeding and care of Luna. Luna was very content when I arrived home thanks to Heidi! My home was immaculate when I arrived and she did some snow shoveling. She even pulled a large broken tree branch off my roof following a windstorm. I hope Heidi is available for my next trip because she is awesome. Jim
Caroline was a fabulous sitter and looked after our cat and the house beautifully. She is sensible and very self-sufficient but also kept us informed. We came home to a happy cat and a tidy house. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to others and hope she will sit for us again in the future!
I whole-heartedly recommend Carly and her partner Fanny to sit for you! They were fabulous and reliable house sitters from start to finish. Carly was timely and thoughtful in all of her communications and let us know the state of affairs in our apartment with our cat and plant babies while we were away. They followed our directions to a 'T.' We came home to find a happy cat, thriving plants, a spotless apartment and laundered linens. We would definitely consider contacting them again to house sit for us!
