Dog Sitting in San Joaquin River Estates

The only down side about having George and Larissa and their wonderful children stay in your home and look after your beloved pets is that you are on holiday and don't get to spend time with them! They are AMAZING! From the minute they arrived (we had a half hour cross over) we felt completely confident and relaxed about leaving. We received daily photos and updates on our lively labrador, careful and considerate questions about taking care of our home (all houses have their quirks and its difficult to leave precise instructions about everything), stories and anecdotes about our dog and what she was doing and how she was interacting with the children (I believe there were tears when they left); and in addition to regular Trusted Houseitting duties the family also looked after our Airbnb and interacted with our guests and looked after them perfectly - all of our guests left 5* reviews and all mentioned Larissa and George as their 'wonderful hosts'. When we got home everything was exactly as we left it plus some extra goodies had been left for us to help us settled in after a long flight. This is a family who are stepping out into the world and doing 'life' in what many would consider a non-conventional way - but that means they are very experienced travellers, quick to hit the ground running when they arrive and 100% adorable. Don't hesitate - say yes!

Jessica and her companion looked after Conni, my cocker spaniel, for five days. From the moment of first making contact to the end of the sit, Jessica communicated in a clear and timely way. On arrival she was keen to know all of Conni's routines and on my return Conni was clearly very happy and settled, which is exactly what I wanted to return to. I would be very happy to recommend her to others.

Audrey was a wonderful choice to care for our animals, and we were lucky to have her! She was caring and organized and we came home to happy, relaxed pets and a clean house! At the beginning of the sit, Audrey arrived early so we could go through feeding routines for horses before our departure. We had a chance to meet her, and she is a confident, attentive person who who made us instantly comfortable. When we hit some road bumps with a plumbing project in our horse barn while we were away, she went above and beyond to stay in touch with us, help deal with the issues and oversee the project to its finish. Audrey is an amazing choice for any home owner and pet parent who wants to leave their pets in capable hands!

Brooke was so lovely to communicate with. She had a warm, grounded energy and was very responsive to us and our animals. Brooke sent us little updates about how the animals were doing while we were away, which put me at ease. Would definitely have her sit again!

Sunshine loves Kelly and Alan! This is the second time Kelly and Alan have taken care of Sunshine. They are so sweet. The communication before, during and after their sit was great. They sent updates and pictures. They met with our neighbor who they will be petsitting for and Sunshine didn't leave their side. It was so nice not to worry how my pup was doing during my vacation and knowing they were taking care of her, the house and everything was ok. I feel so lucky to have met them (I was referred by good friends who they sat for their pup too) and hope it works out that they can come back again. Sunshine really loved them and wasn't anxious when I got home. The house also was spotless. Thank you Kelly and Alan! See you in October when you watch Winston. Keep in touch if you ever want to come back to our home too. Hopefully we can walk when you are here in a couple months! Bobbi and Sunshine

Chris, Lacey and family were great sitters. Our home was probably cleaner than we left it, and our cats were relaxed and happy. They made an extra effort to meet us for an in person walk through in advance. Grateful to have them stay and would happily have them back.

Jessica and Orlando did a good job taking care of our house and pets while we were away. Jessica was communicative and reliable. They did a great job cleaning up the house - I really appreciated coming home to a freshly made bed!

Rico was fabulous. My dog took to him right away. Absolutely no problems. I felt very comfortable having him in my house with my dog. Highly recommend Rico!

Richard and Maricela we an absolute Godsend! I thought I was going to miss out on this family trip because I couldn't find a sitter. I reached out to them personally through zeewoi, and they responded promptly, worked out their schedule and made themselves available for the short four day sit. Miss Kitty is 21 years young and requires medication and lots of love and attention. I say she is high maintenance because she is so precious to me and I expect her to get a lot of attention in my absence. They sent daily updates with photos and I could clearly see that she was in good hands. They are both very kind and gentle people, which was very comforting to me. I'm grateful for their commitment and look forward to their return.

We had absolutely no concerns at all about the dogs or the ducks whilst we were away, as soon as I met the family I knew they were in good hands! Clayton and Lora both kept me updated throughout the two weeks and the whole family was up early to accommodate our very early return. Thank you for loving our home, dogs and ducks as we do allowing us to relax on our holiday.
