Kari Fjugstad
Newport Coast, California
Loyal, trustworthy, independent gal. Loves animals. Local to OC, able to travel.
Kari was absolutely fantastic! Her communication was top-notch throughout, always keeping me updated and reassured. When I returned, my house was spotless, a testament to her attention to detail. It's clear she loves pets, and my pets adored her in return. She went above and beyond in every way, making sure they were not only well cared for but also happy. I will definitely have her back in the future. Highly recommend!"

Touring performing couple; we love your pet already!
Thank you for taking care of our puppies and home. Hope you enjoyed your journey, and hope to see you again soon. Highly recommend
marla
Newport Coast, California
Cat and Dog sitter in Southern California with safety as my number one priority
Marla is a dream cat sitter. She asked all the pertinent questions about my cats care which made me feel comfortable that Lil was in good hands. Marla left my home spotless. She kept in touch regularly. A bonus - Marla watered my plants especially during the heat wave so I came home to a thriving patio. I would definitely ask Marla back again.
Sandra
Newport Coast, California
Animal-loving, adventurous empty-nesters with 30+ TrustedHouseSitter sits
Sandra and Cooper were amazing! Unfortunately, Crispy had some health issues present between our booking and our trip. This made him a lot more special needs than we had anticipated and I know he was a bit more trouble than was expected. They reassured us and kept us informed the entire time. We certainly did not plan on it being this type of stay for them but they adapted quite well and kept us informed. This was our first zeewoi experience and we are so fortunate to have been paired with them. Thank you again!
Danesha

Clean, respectful, loving mom & daughter DUO!
Danni was a fantastic sitter, probably the best sitter we’ve ever had. She was excellent with communication prior to and during the sit. She was very friendly and our cat (who isn’t very social) even came out of hiding while she was here. We were out of the country and had no pet worries thanks to Danni’s care. We would wholly recommend her 10/10.
McKinley
Newport Coast, California
Happy writer offers you peace-of-mind while you're away.
McKinley was great in every aspect. She has been doing pet sitting for a while and it shows. She was well prepared ahead of time, knew the right questions to ask and was great with our dog Libbey. We would be happy to have her back anytime.
Gaby
Newport Coast, California
Your home and pets will be cared with much love
This was our first time using zeewoi, and Gaby made us feel reassured about leaving our 2 dogs behind to travel. She spent most of her time with them and sent pictures every day. It is clear Gaby loves animals deeply, so we were very happy to know our dogs were not just being looked after, but loved on in our absence. She took the time to get to know their individual personalities and quirks and give the specific type of care and attention needed for each pup. One of our dogs can be shy and insecure and very attached to me, but Gaby earned her trust in a matter of hours. Gaby allowed us to travel without worrying about our dogs, and we would have her sit for us again in the future!
Valerie
Newport Coast, California
Responsible and Perceptive Animal Lover
I had a last minute trip come up, and was relieved Valerie was able to take care of my kitties in a pinch. I liked her immediately upon meeting her, and felt her great energy would be a perfect match for my shy kitties. As far as I could tell, Valerie took good care of the kitties while I was away. The communication was just okay. She eventually replied to my messages about this and that, but didn't really initiate or share little updates or photos of the kitties and how it was going unless I reached out first. When I came home, I discovered that an item of mine was missing and asked her if she had seen it anywhere, thinking I must have misplaced it before I left. She acknowledged she had taken it, but didn't actually apologize, incredibly, and then it was a real struggle to try to get it back or at least have her send a replacement. After much persistence and pursuit on my part and quite the runaround on her part, she eventually replaced it, but I was a bit taken aback by her blasé attitude about taking it in the first place and then casual avoidance to resolving the situation. All very surprising, and an unfortunate disheartening footnote to the petsit. All that being said, she left my house very clean and tidy, and the kitties seemed very calm and content when I returned.

Reviews from Cat Owners
Katharine
Seàn was an amazing pet and house sitter! He was super communicative and took amazing care of my dog Nala and cat Bruce. They were happy and loved while I was away- I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for the two little fur babies! He sent great pictures and checked in every day so I had nothing to worry about. On top of all that, he also kept my place immaculately clean and left my place in wonderful shape. We can’t wait to have him back to sit and I would highly recommend him to anyone and everyone looking for a sitter!
Janie
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!
Amanda
"A relaxing and long time away from home made possible by the best pet & house sitters we could have asked for!" Judy and Steph went the extra mile over their entire one month stay at our home. Both our cats became fast friends thanks to the care and dedication provided for them. We were routinely updated with spectacular photos of our furry girls throughout our leave that helped us be anxiety-free the entire time. Even our older shy cat spent time sleeping on their laps or hanging out on shoulders. As for the house, Judy and Steph left it even cleaner than when they arrived! We had a few tasks to maintain the lawn and potted plants outside, which were completed perfectly. They even tended to our vegetable garden where needed! During a 'risk of severe hail storm' alert, Judy and Steph kept us in the loop and went even further to place potted plants under shelter out of harms way. In summary, we recommend Judy and Steph and would happily have them return again if our schedules cross paths.
Julie
Sabre is a sweet, honest person who stepped up at the very last moment (after the prior sitter flaked out) to watch our dog and cat for 17 days. When there were a couple minor accidents, she informed us of them right away. One involved a burnt pan (easy to do if you’re not familiar with an induction stovetop) which she offered to replace. Sabre also washed the towels and sheets, and made up the bed before we got home. The yard was pooper scooped and litter box was clean. Pets seemed well-cared for. When she had to leave town for several hours one day, she made sure to arrange for our neighbor take care of the pets. Additionally, I appreciated how she didn’t assume that it would be ok to bring her cat. When we found out she was going to keep her cat in a kennel during her stay here, we told her she could bring him which worked out fine. Overall, I would confidently recommend Sabre to watch your pets and house.
joby
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"!
Michele and Hugh
Joi did a wonderful job caring for my two cats and two guinea pigs, as well as caring for my home! She is coming back in November for a long sit while I am out of the country and we all can’t wait. Joi had experience with rabbits and jumped right in with guinea pig care. She is so calm around them that they were sitting on her lap day one! She spent time preparing their vegetables and kept their enclosure and room clean, which requires daily effort. She even washed the floor mats in their room so it was fresh when I returned home. She went above and beyond sending me daily photos and videos so I could see that everyone was healthy and happy. It was apparent to me that she spent a lot of time with my pets, which is very important so they don’t become stressed and lonely when I am away. Joi also took excellent care of my two cats. They receive daily wet food with some medication and she ensured that they received it on time. My cats barely noticed when I returned because they got so much attention from Joi. She took excellent care of my front garden flowers and my tomato and herb hydroponic gardens. These take some daily attention and time in the summer, and I returned home to them looking great! Joi is a very caring, clean, and thoughtful sitter and I hope she comes back many more times!
Heather
We literally cannot say enough positive things about Susan and Miranda! They are the best! From start to finish, they did an amazing job communicating with us, giving our 3 (somewhat needy) cats extremely high quality care and tons of attention, and keeping our house clean and plants watered. They took adorable pictures of the cats and sent them to us several times a day, played with them and gave them so much love and affection, and when we got home the house was even cleaner than when we left. We even asked them for some tips on how they were caring for the cats because our cats seemed happier and more relaxed than ever when we returned home to them! This was by far our best cat/house sitter experience to date. We hope Susan and Miranda are available again in the future to sit for us and would invite them back without hesitation.
Anne
Wow, what a find Justin is! I feel as though I won a lottery. As I was revelling in the communication we were having during his stay, I looked over his profile and realized either that he had updated it during his stay OR I never even read it. I was so impressed with his initial application that described multiple stays taking care of cats in Turkey that I knew he was going to be a great choice. So I'm not sure that I even read his profile or reviews. Turned out...he was more than I could have EVER hoped for. Justin is VERY organized and clear with his communication. Just as--or maybe more--important, he is a poster child for what zeewoi can be: more than just an economical way to get a pet sitter or a place to stay. Justin embraces the barter economy and the opportunity it presents to get to know people. Although we only met the day that I turned the house and my 2 cats over to his care, we had delightful communication throughout his stay. He wanted to be sure he was providing the right care to all living and non-living elements of my home as well as just chat beyond what we'd had an opportunity to cover when we were face to face on the handoff day. Bottom line: I'd have Justin back even if I wasn't going anywhere! I've met a friend. And my neighbors did as well! Oh yes, and my two cats were well looked after, the house was in ship shape, and Justin was able to brief the next sitter in person (I'd had to extend my time away and Justin already had another commitment). To say I felt confident leaving my pets and home in Justin's care is an understatement. Justin is a real adventurer and believer in the power of both human and animal connection. Without a doubt, I would recommend him as a sitter...and a friend! Thank you, Justin for a great example of how to wrestle so much more meaning out of zeewoi.

Florence is everything you want in a cat sitter! We have two cats that need a lot of human attention. One takes multiple medications twice a day and they both are used to eating on their own schedule and having people around so it is always very important to us to find a pet sitter that will be spending a lot of time in the apartment and that doesn't mind being very attentive. We were able to meet Florence before our trip and felt 100% confident that she would take great care of our cats. Florence is comfortable giving medication, she sent us photos and updates and left our apartment spotless. We were so happy that we had her come back the following week when we went away again for a short trip! We will definitely contact Florence again whenever we travel and hope that she is available!

If Cung ever applies to your post for a house or pet sit, I strongly encourage you to jump at the offer. You will not be disappointed. Cung is among the top (if not the top) sitter I’ve ever had and I’ve been on this site for years. Primarily, Cung is very organized. In the weeks and days leading up to the sit, Cung kept me abreast of his plans and status. I felt very comfortable in the days leading up to the sit because I knew the plan we made to exchange the keys and walk him through the instructions would work as planned. Second, Cung really cares. When he got to my apartment after what I assume was a long day of traveling, I explained the care instructions and he was very attentive and cared about the details - asking very specific questions on how to care for my cat and apartment. I had some pretty specific rules about how to feed my cat and take care of him and Cung followed those exactly. Third, Cung makes you feel comfortable while you are away. I got daily or twice daily updates about my cat. I got pictures which made me feel like my cat was having a good time. My cat came out within an hour of me being away - very fast for my cat as he is shy. Cung must have a calming energy towards animals. Cung was also very responsive when I reached out first - replying within 5 minutes. I really appreciated that. My cat threw up at one point and Cung answered all of my questions to assess whether my cat was sick or had just eaten too fast. Fourth, Cung will take good care of your apartment/house. I came back to a SPOTLESS apartment. The sheets were washed and folded on my bed. The towels were washed. The apartment had been vacuumed. The kitchen was clean. The dishwasher had been run. Everything was in its place when I returned. Honestly, cleaner than when I left it which is difficult since I am a very clean person. Cung also respects your property. I have an extensive computer setup that he used for work and he was very respectful of that equipment. He asked if he could use it beforehand, which was incredibly polite since he could have used it and I wouldn’t have known. In sum. You need to jump at the opportunity if Cung offers to sit for you. I came home to a very happy cat. Hope he will sit for me again sometime!

Rita has been absolutely wonderful with our dog Cali and a godsend for my husband and I! She's been watching our now 11 week old puppy for 2 weeks and we're so thankful to have found her. She's incredibly responsive, on time, knowledgeable with dogs and keeps Cali engaged and happy when she's watching her. Highly recommend hiring Rita for any dog sitting needs you have!!
Wally and Tillie (my two 13-year-old cats) love Rita. They always come out when she takes care of them, which is saying something because they hide from any other cat sitters or visitors! Rita sends me photos while I’m away and my kitties are always happy when I get home so I know she has taken good care of them. I recommend Rita unreservedly! She is a gentle soul and it’s obvious that she loves animals.
If you are tired of your dog walkers not showing up -- or rescheduling on you -- and need a reliable dog service who really cares about your animals, this is the dog walking/sitting service for you. Rita has been walking and taking care of my two dogs AND my two cats for about three years now. She is honest and reliable. I don't often do reviews, but when it comes to my animals, I feel that others will benefit from the amazing care my babies get from Rita. I am sure you will be as happy with her services as I am. :-)
Rita is a neighbor’s dog walker - so when I needed one, she was ready & willing. She was professional, and patient with my senior dog, and even able to help on a last minute call. We will definitely use her services again. My dogs Love her too ;)
Newport Dog Care does a wonderful job taking care of our two dogs. We are very happy with the services and our puppies adore them.
Rita did a great job taking care of my two dogs over a long weekend. She truly cares about dogs, is professional, and was easy to work with. I will use her services again.
I thankfully found Rita after I had back surgery and wasn’t able to walk my dog. My dog instantly loved her and happily went along with her for his walks. Rita was very easy to work with and I highly recommend her.
Rita was a pleasure to work with. She took care of my 2 dogs for a week in home....dogs and home were well taken care of, and she always updated me with how they were. Highly recommended!
Rita has been a responsible and professional dog Walker and I have appreciated her service. She always sends pictures everyday of my dog and I find it very comforting. Thank you, Rita!
Everything I could ask for in a dog sitter! She answered her phone right away -- I appreciate that, as I hate having to leave messages for people I want to give my money to. We found a time to meet me and my dog, go over our needs while I was away, dates and times for her to visit. She was very agreeable. She kept in contact with me while I was away, sending me texts and pictures of how my dog was doing so she's obviously very trustworthy. I was so glad he had Rita to visit him. She is lovely, I highly recommend!

We loved being able to leave our dog here during our vacation! They took good care of Winston and would send us photos of him throughout our trip. We were able to check up on him through the cameras as well. We definitely will bring him back again! We are very happy with our experience here!
I am incredibly happy to have found HomeAway From Home! Due to work, we had to leave the country for 19 days, which ended up being extended to 24 days midway through the trip. I was very anxious about leaving our two Belgian Malinois for such a long time, but the staff here made the experience so much easier. The drop off was incredibly easy and resassuring - we were even given an opportunity to view the facility (with my dogs) and ask any questions. They kept me updated regularly with texts and videos, and the live streaming option allowed me to check in on my dogs whenever I missed them, which was a huge comfort. Sometimes when I checked the app I would catch a glimpse of them running after balls staff would throw for them or just sunbathing in the yard :) It's clear that the entire team truly cares for each dog in their care, and they have a real passion for what they do. Hearing stories about other pets boarding there, you can tell they all genuinely love their job. Our two dogs are quite a handful—one likes to challenge other dogs, while the other is usually very timid—yet they made sure both of them were comfortable and well cared for, taking each dog's personality into account. The runs were spacious enough to accommodate our two full-grown Malinois in one kennel without any issues. We also added a bath at the end of their stay, which was the best decision! When I picked them up, they were happy, playful, and smelled amazing after their grooming. I will definitely continue to bring my dogs here for boarding and day trips. HomeAway From Home has truly earned my trust, and I couldn’t be more grateful!
Leo had a great time boarding at Home Away From Home! The facility is clean and well maintained, the manager on site was very knowledgeable and friendly. I was able to view videos of Leo enjoying himself on their live feed. I would highly recommend Home Away From Home the next time you can't bring your dog with you on vacation with you
Excellent service and everyone was easy to work with. Will highly recommend.
Home Away from Home is THE best!!!

I have worked in the pet industry myself for close to 10 years and this has been one of my favorite places. Owners have been very accommodating and flexible with my needs. My dog comes home tired and happy from daycare. They have been helping with my dog’s jumping too, which I have found many daycares allow and make the problem worse but she’s been getting better since coming here. They really do go above and beyond here. They are some of the nicest people, too. Great communication. Would 100% recommend them to anyone looking for dog care in this area. Would give them more than 5 stars if I could
They are friendly but not professional here. The last time I dropped of my dog for the weekend I returned to find that he had a ton of dog food left which is fairly uncommon even when staying at a boarding location. The owner informed me that his family went on a camping trip that same weekend so I can only assume that my dog was just not fed.. The first time I brought my dog here was great (professionalism aside) but this last visit makes me wary.
Bob and his family do a great job! My 5-month-old puppy was a very nervous pup after a bad experience at another facility. Bob took his time with her and slowly exposed her to more and more dogs. Bob also gave some great advice for training as well.
We have been taking our dogs here for over 11 years. Both we and our dogs appreciate the loving care and supervision that the team at the Dog Park Inn provide. They will treat your dog as if it were theirs! The Kelleher Family
Wonderful place to leave our precious pup either for the day or for 10 days. They take great care and are a wonderful family owned and operated business
Came in from Colorado with our two Siberian Huskies. They enjoyed their day hanging around the dog park inn. This is the spot Fido wants to be!
This is a wonderful place our Hank, He loves playing with all the other dogs I highly recommend & trust Hank will be well taken care of.
Bob is very knowledgeable and friendly. He was great with my 2 rescue dogs.
I like how easy they are to work with. Easy drop off, easy pick up.
Wonderful people who love and take care of your dog while you are away.

Kat is a natural!. The moment they hear her car pull up, our dogs can't be still - and she clearly loves them right back. Pets could not be better hands. And we love her, too.
Kat is a blessing to our family. We are a VERY busy family with a lot of pets. Because of her we are able to have our little farm of 11. If we didn’t have Kat we wouldn’t be able to. Our dogs look forward to their walks with Kat and our chickens look forward to their time to run. Any time there is a pet concern or possible medical need I can text her and immediately she tells me what she thinks and I am instantly calmer. Kat is so helpful, knowledgeable and beyond sweet. She loves and cares for all the fur babies she meets. She is a very special person. You don’t get to meet people like Kat often and I am thankful every day we have her in our lives.
Can not recommend more! Kat is incredible and goes above and beyond when taking care of our dogs. One of our dogs is diabetic and needs injections twice a day. Whenever Kat takes care of him, his blood sugar is perfect when we get home. Both our dogs love her and we feel so confident and comfortable when we know she is with them. This year we could not be with one of our dogs on his birthday. Our family felt guilty not to be with him, until Kat sent us a video of her celebrating him (even with birthday gifts!)!!! She might even take better care of our dogs than we do. She is fabulous!
Kat is amazing!!! My dog Sherman is a shy and timid boy. He’s very particular about who he likes and trusts and he loves Kat! I also have three cats who love Kat as well. She’s very reliable and I trust her with all of my babies, hands down. I have referred her to friends/family who love her as well.
Kat was a serious life saver for us!! We had to book an emergency trip and at the last second reached out to Kat and she was luckily available to watch our babies for us. She came to our house extremely professional and covered everything in detail with us. You can tell she has done this a million times and is a pro!! Also one thing I absolutely loved about her is she sent us daily updates and pictures of our girls!! We had never left our pups with anyone before and I was originally very nervous to leave them but after just the first meeting with Kat knew instantly they were in god hands. I can’t say enough about about her and we will definitely be using her services in the future!
Kat Gardner is reliable, thorough, and compassionate. I first met Kat when one of my cats was in the early stages of cancer. Her background as a veterinary technician meant that she was willing to administer oral medication. I highly recommend her to friends and strangers alike.
Kat has looked after our dog several times over the last few years. She’s a fantastic pet sitter. We don’t worry about a thing when we know she’s in charge....and the pup seems pretty happy too. She gives him lots of love and attention, and it’s extra comforting that she’s a vet tech and would know what to do if something were to go wrong. I would recommend her without reservation.
Kat takes such wonderful care of my two boys. Use her services frequently— overnights as well.
Kat is absolutely amazing! My dogs love her, she is so educated and qualified, and so reliable, I wouldn’t have anyone else watch my babies! Highlyyy recommend her to anyone! Thanks for being so great Kat!!
Kat is an amazing pet sitter. She's professional and she genuinely cares for animals. I recommend her to anyone looking for dog walking or pet sitting services.

"Auntie" Brie has been apart of our lives for 7 years now. We have 2 Shih Tzu's and Brie has been there since before they even had their shots. When we first brought "Posey" and "Kershaw" home, they were so little that she would come over twice a day to check in and play with them while my husband and I were at work. One day she called me at work and told me Kershaw fell over when trying to walk to the backyard and that she didn't look so good. Brie took her straight to the vet while I sped home. We found out Kershaw was hypoglycemic. If she wasn't there and I came home to a passed out pup, I would have lost it. I'm beyond grateful Brie was there. Also, I don't feel comfortable going out of town unless Brie can take them for the weekend. She has always had a key to our home and I trust her with my babies more than any of our friends or loved ones. She treats our dogs as her own and you can't put a price tag on that. She is not just our dog walker - she is family. One more thing - she takes the best pictures of my pups! 😍
Bree has walked my bundle of joy since he was 6 months old. Massimo, a 110 Dogo Argentino, can be intimidating but she handles him like a champ. In the many years she has been with us she has been extremely accommodating and professional. Massimo, my wife and myself are so grateful to have found her and we have no reservations recommending her to you. She is the best!!! P.S. My pooch absolutely adores her and can't wait to see her.
10/10, absolutely great! Brie makes things easy. She follows all my instructions and figures things out when I forget something, while working with my rather peculiar home situation. She sends the best pet pics and my cat always looks so happy. Thank you Brie! I’m
