How it works?
Elizabeth
Providing Pet Sitting in the Rio Del Mar, California
San Francisco area & international sitting.
Betsy was wonderful and we'd love to have her back to sit any time. She was responsive from the beginning, sent us a message when she arrived at our house, sent pics and cute updates on our kitties throughout the stay, and left our house looking great when we returned. Having her sit brought peace and ease while we were away.
Heidi

Conscientious and mindful animal and nature lover to care for your pets and home
Heidi is an amazing sitter. Our cat loves when she stays at our house. She is kind and super self sufficient. She communicates exceptionally well and takes great care of everything at the house. I highly recommend her for any sit 💕💕
John
Providing Pet Sitting in the Rio Del Mar, California
Dog/Cat Lover, Known to be Very Clean/Neat When Staying At Others Homes.
Wow! I don't know where to start. John is so super outstanding in every way! He drove hours out of his way just to come and meet me and my pets because I had to leave earlier than originally planned. He had already reviewed the welcome guide and put reminders in his calendar. I knew from that moment that I had chosen the right sitter. He is kind, compassionate and hit it off with my pets right away. My shy dog took to him easily. He kept in touch throughout. He managed my new kitten as she developed her spunky and curious personality by adapting the surroundings to keep her and my things safe. He noticed that my dog was not acting normally and started throwing up. He notified me right away and worked with my friend and vet to get him cared for. This happened towards the end of his visit, but he did everything needed. Took him to and from the vet, administered medication and special diet and monitored his condition closely. His quick action kept it from becoming a serious illness. I am very grateful to John for his excellent care of my pets and home. I returned to a very clean house with freshly watered plants and laundered linens & towels and very happy pets. Do not hesitate to click "invite to sit" if you are lucky enough to have John apply. I give him my highest recommendation and would love for him to return!
Alyssa
Providing Pet Sitting in the Rio Del Mar, California
Tidy, clean, attentive, honest, loving.
Alyssa is the best house/dog sitter one could wish for. Our 10 year old dachshund/Pomeranian mix was treated like royalty - walked frequently, taken for car rides and cuddeled constantly. Alyssa kept us updated with pictures and videos on WhatsApp throughout our entire 3 1/2 week European tour. The house was as clean as we left it and all the necessary house tasks were well taken care of. No question that we would ask her back for our next trip!
Paula
Providing Pet Sitting in the Rio Del Mar, California
Responsible Pet Lover
Paula was communicative and took care of our dog’s needs while we were away. She was mindful to update us and kept the house extremely clean and tidy! We would definitely have her back anytime.
Debra
Providing Pet Sitting in the Rio Del Mar, California
Beach and cat lover
Debra took fantastic care of our cats and sent us great updates and pictures frequently over the course of our holiday. Our apartment was immaculate when we arrived home, which is always such a relief after travelling. Even our ultra cautious cat made several appearances which speaks volumes. We would definitely have Debra sit for us again and cannot recommend her highly enough!
H
Providing Pet Sitting in the Rio Del Mar, California
Pleasant/Experience/Reliable/Friendly/Easygoing/Communicative/Trusting sitter.
H was a delightful housesitter. He is a fascinating conversationalist, extremely tidy, and a real lover of dogs. Cowboy took to him immediately maybe because of the many walks, back scratches, and belly rubs that he sensed were coming. H also took care of the yard, watered plants, and kept the fountains full. I would be happy to have H stay in my house and sit for my dog anytime. He is on my list of go to Housesitters.
Jerilyn

Happily married, mature animal lovers ready to care for your home and pets
Jerilyn and Matthew were great caring for Lily and taking care of our home. They kept us informed of how things were going while we were away and shared pictures of Lily getting lots of attention.
Brian
Providing Pet Sitting in the Rio Del Mar, California
Vegan Software Engineer @ NASA looking for some animal groupies.
We’ve had Brian sit for us multiple times and it’s always been great. The cats are happy, the house is clean and we get regular picture updates!
Lilly
Providing Pet Sitting in the Rio Del Mar, California
Experienced and zeewoi with excellent references!
Lilly and Thomas stayed at our house and cared for our dogs for a month. I think they took the dogs to the beach nearly every day. Seeing pictures of our dogs on the beach made our time away from them feel so much better. Our house was immaculate when we returned, and we felt so fortunate to have such kind and loving people step in for us in our absence. Anyone would be super lucky to have them in their home.

Reviews from Pet Owners
Jess
Not only did Krista take great care of our cat while we were away, she left the house cleaner than she found it. She also kept in touch with occasional photos and videos of kitty antics, which gave me peace of mind that the cat was well-cared for. We definitely recommend her as a house and pet sitter and would ask her again in the future!
Barrett
Caitlyn, KJ, and their pup Sully were excellent house guests and pet sitters, and we would highly recommend them! I was able to meet Caitlyn and KJ prior to them house sitting for us, and we are always super appreciative when sitters are able to make that work and are willing to take time out of their schedule to come over and get the lay of the land. Their dog Sully was full of good boy energy and was a great playmate for our two Golden Retrievers. During the stay, Caitlyn & KJ sent us photos every day and followed all of our instructions for pet care to a T. They were super self-sufficient and gracious guests that left our place looking just like it did when we left, and we were very at peace knowing that our dogs were in great hands, getting lots of exercise, and romping around with new friend Sully. Don't hesitate to book this family of three, your house and your pets will be well-looked after!
Sarah
Mary Jessica was a wonderful house and pet sitter for our GIANT dog Mamma Mia. She took extremely good care of our house with it cleaner than we left it upon our return. Our neighbors remarked on all the walks she gave Mamma and Mamma seemed very pleased with the entire experience. Mary Jessica was self sufficient, needing very little instruction outside of our Welcome Guide. She followed everything I wrote and asked how much communication I’d want. I’m very pleased and would both recommend her and love to have her again.
Jenna
Felecia was an excellent sitter and perfect companion for Livi, our 3 yr old Aussie mix! She was always prompt with communication when needed, took great care of our pet and house and was just as clean coming home as we left it. I would not hesitate to recommend Felecia for other sits.
Chris

I had the pleasure of having Tracey and her two children as house sitters, and I can't praise them enough for the incredible job they did. From the moment they stepped into our home, it was evident that they were dedicated, caring, and attentive to every detail. First and foremost, Tracey's approach to caring for our house and our beloved pets was nothing short of excellent. She has an innate ability to connect with animals, and it was clear from the daily updates and photos that our pets were happy and thoroughly pampered. The house was kept in immaculate condition, and they treated it with the utmost respect as if it was their own. Moreover, Tracey demonstrated remarkable responsibility and initiative when our AC system unexpectedly broke down. Without hesitation, she arranged for an HVAC company to come and fix the issue, taking time from her day to ensure our home was taken care of. Her willingness to front the repair costs until I could reimburse her was an act of kindness and trust that you rarely see. Tracey and her children's thoughtfulness and thoroughness provided me with peace of mind during my time away, which is priceless. I returned to a home that was just as I left it, if not better. Their stay was characterized by an extraordinary level of care and I was particularly impressed by how they left the house in perfect condition, with happy pets to welcome me back. I wholeheartedly recommend Tracey to any future hosts. Her reliability, compassion, and the ability to handle unexpected situations with grace are commendable. I would welcome Tracey and her children back to house sit in a heartbeat – they are exactly the kind of house sitters that one hopes for on this site! Thank you, Tracey, for everything. You and your children are welcome back anytime!

Carolina was a fantastic Pet sitter. From the beginning, it was straightforward to communicate with her. She met us before we left our trip and ensured she understood all the house and pet logistics. Luna and Cal were very comfortable with her and were best friends with her fast. She was very affectionate with them, and Luna and Cal loved her and were very happy with her. Carolina was very responsive and sent updates. She was really lovely and easy to communicate with. She was very respectful of our space and very tidy. She even washed the sheets and towels she used even when she didn’t need to. She put a lot of care into caring for Luna and Cal, and they looked very comfortable with her. Having Carolina as a pet sitter made our trip very easy, knowing our pets were cared for so well. We would love to have her back to sit for us again and highly recommend her.
Michelle
Elaine was the best dog and cat sitter I have ever had! She was so loving to the boys, kind, reliable, capable and took fabulous care of my two dogs and cat welfare. Walked them every day and would even sing to them (-: I am so very grateful to have had the pleasure of meeting Elaine and I would recommend Elaine to anyone wanting first class care of pets and home!!! We all miss having her around and wish her a fabulous world trip and safe journey back to the States.
Laurie
Debra was a Great pet and house sitter !! She communicated well throughout our long trip and sent us frequent pictures of all of our pets. She watered our plants and brought in all the mail. Our home was immaculate when we arrived home and the dogs and cat were super happy !! I would recommend Debra as a wonderful, responsible and reliable pet and house sitter !
Cheryl
Milly was a lovely house sitter and I’d highly recommend her. She submitted a really great application and after a FaceTime chat it was an easy decision to choose her for our sit. She is the youngest sitter we’ve chosen but she has a maturity beyond her years and it was clear she had so much experience with animals that we felt confident leaving her in charge of our menagerie. Olive our young Pom has never been left with a sitter before so we were a little worried about how she would be but Milly was so patient, gentle and kind that she quickly won Olive over. So much so, on the morning Milly was leaving ,Olive would only let Milly put her harness on her before going for a walk. All the animals were perfectly cared for while we were away and we returned home to happy pets and a tidy house. Milly’s communication from our first contact and right through the sit was great and she even sent a lovely video of the dogs having fun on their walk. I’d have Milly back to housesit for us again anytime.
