Patricia
San Mateo, Jacksonville
I will be unavailable until February 2025. Thank you
Patricia was a fantastic petsitter! You couldn't ask for better! She took care of my two elderly dogs and adored them. She left my home spotless. She kept in regular contact with me both before and during my trip and made sure that my flight got home before she left. You would be so lucky for her to petsit for you!
Susan
San Mateo, Jacksonville
Long Time Pet Owners Seeking Short Term Adventures
Susan and Jim took excellent care of our senior cat and home while we were away for a week. They took time before we left to come over and learn the details of the housesit; they asked conscientious and detailed questions and it was a pleasure getting to meet them. We were out of cell range for the entire duration of our trip, and we were able to relax and enjoy ourselves with total peace of mind knowing that everything was being well taken care of in our absence. We returned home to a clean and tidy house; Susan and Jim even laundered the guest room sheets and remade the bed before they left! Most importantly, our cat was clearly well-loved and cared for while we were away. We would welcome Susan and Jim back to sit for us any time!
Dee Ann
San Mateo, Jacksonville
Friendly non-smoking clean couple to love your precious pets& care for your home
Another great sit! No pets this is time, just our house. They took care of everything while we were away on an extended trip. The yard, exterior living spaces and interior spaces were so clean, it was like walking into a new house. They texted us re: issues that arise that they worked around, but wanted us to be aware. We trust them to take care of our home as we would and they deliver!
Marcia
San Mateo, Jacksonville
Active retired couple who Love animals and will take excellent care of your home
Marcia and Maui were excellent house and pet sitters. They loved on our little Ellie and spent most of their time at the house during their stay. They sent pictures and updates each day which always made us smile. The kitchen and house were in excellent shape and I even wonder if they hardly even used the kitchen. Our cat, Bucky, came out each evening and spent time with them, but did hide quite a bit during the day. They made sure we were successfully on our airplane and that the animals wouldn’t be left too long before they headed our at the end of the stay. We would recommend them to others.
Troy
San Mateo, Jacksonville
Purrfect House Sitters in a Ruff Ruff World
Hands down the absolute best sitters! Troy and Jen are such a joy to work with from start to finish. I've gone back to them time and time again because they keep my mind at ease that everything will be taken care of while I'm away. They've taken great care of my kitties, my plants and yard, and my home. I'm always greeted with a perfectly tidy home when I return which is always such a nice treat especially after a long work trip. Troy and Jen are amazing!
Sue
San Mateo, Jacksonville
Pet-loving couple seeking new adventures and travel experiences.
We were lucky to be able to meet her before the sit and was great to see her interact with our pup Miso, she didn’t blink an eye at Miso’s high energy. Sue’s communication was great both before and throughout the sit, she sent photo updates and a quick question, and we felt reassured while away. The house was the same as we left it. We’d easily recommend Sue, she’s very sweet and took great care of our pup!
Rhyss
San Mateo, Jacksonville
Enjoy your travel/vacation. We got your back. Home/pets will be safe/cared for.
Rhyss & Jean ware were amazing! Minnie was so well taken care of. Rhyss & Jean both took Minnie for 3 walks a day, she usually only gets 2 so this was a real treat for her. I was sent either a video or photo every time they walked Minnie. This I really appreciated. My home was cleaner when I got back than when I left. I so appreciated that after a long day of traveling and not getting in til after midnight. I also really appreciated that they walked Minnie late evening knowing that I would be home late. They are both amazing people that go well above to ensure that you and your pet are well taken care of.
Tim
San Mateo, Jacksonville
Responsible, mature, attentive, experienced couple to pet and house sit for you!
It was another perfect sit with Leigh and Tim. We have no worries when we leave Chip and our home in their care. We will happily have them back again.
Andrew

Reliable Traveler: Caring for Your Pets, Plants, and Property with Trust
Andrew was terrific! Both an effective communicator and totally reliable, Otis loved him and he was especially attentive to our habits and the things that Otis is accustomed to. He also did a great job watering our plants and keeping the house neat and he left the house as clean as he found it (perhaps cleaner!). Highly recommend.

Reviews from Pet Owners
Andrea
We feel like we’ve won the pet and house sitter lotto with Scott. Most importantly, he’s taken great care of our much loved little dog, giving him a lot of care, affection and attention. He paid close attention when Tingsha began scratching (allergy to an insect bite) which needed vet care, with great communication with us. He even took Tingsha to his agility school class each week (great fun had by all) and to get a groom. We’ve come home to a contented and very happy dog. The house is spotless, cleaner than we left it, with fresh flowers and the bed all made up. Perfect! We had regular contact with Scott all through our five week trip and being “fellow travellers” (in all senses) enjoyed sharing lots of local travel tips and experiences as we each visited new parts of the world. We were happy to lend Scott our car and he’s been great with it, super responsible. Scott is a really terrific guy and a fabulous journalist and story teller (you must listen to his podcast about his travels, it’s a cracker). In sharing our home and trusting our beloved dog with him, we feel like we’ve made a new friend along the way. We recommend Scott without any hesitation and thank him for a wonderful experience, we’d love him to come back and see us, anytime. Thanks a bunch!
Julie
Kate was an absolute dream and was the best pet sitter I could have possibly asked for! Kate was extremely trustworthy, communicative, and reliable, and provided frequent updates while I was away. She left my apartment spotlessly clean and even took the initiative to fix my wobbly towel bar. Finally, Kate took excellent care of my cat Daisy and I came home to a happy and content cat! Kate was amazing all around and I would be thrilled to have her sit for me again at any time. Thanks for everything!
Rory
Alyssa was a very organized and caring pet sitter. This was our longest house sitter stay and she took excellent care of our home and two sweet and bossy Frenchies. I liked her communication to touch base the week before and how she initiated a shared photo album. We prefer not to get bombarded with daily text message photos and updates. She came up with a connected solution and touched base throughout her stay keeping us informed and sharing photos without a push. She even shared some travel gems about our destination as she is also a curious traveler and enjoys exploring outdoors. We would be happy to use her again.
Tarryn
Erin was a great pet sitter who took such good care of little Chino. She was very reliable, kept us up to date with videos/pictures, looked after our home and kept it neat and tidy. She even left a thoughtful gift upon our return and was flexible with our travel plans. We would definitely recommend Erin for anyone looking for a reliable and friendly pet sitter!
Nanette
Angie and her husband Joe were a great fit for our house and pet sitting needs! They kept in communication with us before our vacation started, and were able to arrive a little early so we could walk them through how various systems worked and where controls were located. Our dog bonded with Angie very quickly and I think he was hoping she would stay after we returned home :) We got regular updates and pet photos while we were traveling. Although we were out of cell phone range for several days, we never had a doubt that things at home would be just fine while they were there! They were also very flexible and understanding. Due to our flight schedule we arrived home in the middle of the night. Angie was able to feed and walk our dog, clean up and leave in the morning without waking us up! The house was left clean, the garden was thriving and our pup was happy. We are happy, and would be happy to have them back again as sitters anytime.
Jessica
Megan and her partner were INCREDIBLE pet & house sitters during my 5 days away last month. I received consistent communication in the form of updates & photos and I had the true sense that Megan was invested in the wellbeing of my animals and truly enjoyed being with them! My house was CLEANER than I left it (immaculate!) and she left a sweet card thanking us upon our return. Truly the best sitting experience I've had thus far, thank YOU so much!
Sharon & Lovell
Janis is a wonderful person and also an incredible sitter -- we were very, very fortunate that she agreed to care for our beloved pets and rural log home for 3 days. We were confident that everything would be perfect – and it was. We returned to a home as clean and ordered as we had left it, inside and out. All plants were thriving; outdoor hanging baskets were blooming profusely. Most importantly, our beloved dog and 4 cherished cats had obviously been lovingly and attentively cared for. The koi were also active and happy. Janis is a “cat whisperer”. She is especially skilled and patient with shy felines, so we truly appreciated her patience and caring for our sweet Angie (with a semi-feral background). Janis immediately understood that Angie, despite her reclusiveness, craves affection and was able to start to earn her trust even with such limited time. Among Janis’ many gifts: she is a talented photographer and delighted us with frequent updates and photos of our furry children. They are so beautiful that we, with her kind permission, plan to include several in our zeewoi profile. Janis’ communications, reliability, self-sufficiency, and punctuality were exemplary, start to finish. We made a wonderful new friend and have already invited her back to sit again. If you are privileged enough to ever have Janis sit we are certain that you will be as delighted and happy as we are.

Elaine was a welcomed sitter for Cyrus and Purrelli. I returned from holiday to find a very content relaxed dog and a happy fat cat. Purrelli doesn’t eat when he is stressed so seeing a little meat on him let me know he was content and happy :) My condo was left clean and in order, all communications were smooth and there was zero issues. Thx for the great pet care Elaine.

Gowri was very patient and caring with Irisi who got sick the day before I left. I cannot commend her enough for how she rose to the occasion and took care of my baby. She even pick up meds from the vet. My cat, Squinty, was very comfortable with her to jump in bed and wake her up early in the morning (as he would with me). I am not aware of him doing that to other sitters that have stayed at my place. I would give her 6 stars for Pet care if I can! She updated me with Irisi's condition which really help ease my mind, knowing someone looking after my furry really cared. I would certainly have her back again!
Wanda
What an amazing couple we had as pet sitters for our two dogs!
You can truly feel their love for animals.
Nancy sent pictures a couple of times letting us know that they were having fun also with our Cody and Carson!
Our home was perfect when we got home. They even left a beautiful potted flower and card on our island in our kitchen.
We highly recommend this couple!
