Pet Sitters in Bloomington, CA

Alexandria

Alexandria was great, she was very communicative, updated us regularly, our cats loved her. Even Caesar who is the most skittish of all our cats was really friendly with her and seemed to really like her. Our cats didn’t even bother to say hi when we came home, that is how I know they were well taken care of and spoiled. The house was clean, everything went fine. Would love to have her house sit for us! Thank you Alexandria.

Cynthia & Dan

Zero complaints, Cynthia took exceptional care of my girls and I would definitely use her again. They were happy and healthy and greeted me with meows and purrs. House was clean and sheets and towels clean so all I needed to do when I was bone weary was collapse into bed.

Tracey

This was our second time having Tracey as a sitter and she was again amazing, and great with our pets. They were well fed, well walked and the house was in fantastic shape. I would recommend Tracey to anyone needing house-sitting!

Nicholas

Overall, Hea did a sufficient job caring for our cat and home. Kitty seemed healthy and content, and the house was in good condition. However, this experience helped us refine our preferences for future sits. Hea shares a profile with Nicholas, but it appears she is the one handling the sits. Despite our inquiries, the details of their shared profile and arrangement remained unclear. In terms of organization, she had some mix-ups with dates and arrival times during pre-visit communication that required clarification, which she attributed to managing multiple sits and tracking many details. Although we provided the welcome guide in advance at her request, she still asked us to write down instructions for the cat’s medications and asked questions covered in the guide, later mentioning that she hadn’t yet reviewed it upon arrival. For reliability, Hea honored her travel commitments, but communication about the cat was inconsistent. Updates were irregular, sometimes necessitating us initiating them, and were fairly general (e.g., "doing well, ate well, spending time outside"). While she had assured us she was familiar with sending regular updates, in hindsight, we should have been more specific about our expectations. She also experienced an issue with her phone charger, which required her to switch to another phone and may have contributed to the lapses in communication. Regarding self-sufficiency, Hea requested to arrive the night before, which is common for some sits, and needed assistance with travel logistics. Per her request, we provided rides to and from the train station, helped with how to purchase a ticket, and assisted with her luggage. Despite volunteering for a sit far from her home, she expressed concerns about the cost and logistical challenges of public transportation, which we tried to accommodate by offering additional assistance, including a trip to the grocery store. On the plus side, Hea left our home in good condition—counters were clean, the trash was taken out, and the dishwasher was run. She was respectful of our space and kept everything tidy. For pet care, Kitty appeared happy and healthy upon our return, and Hea mentioned spending a lot of time at home, which likely helped our cat feel less lonely. She explained that she preferred to defer to the cat's wishes rather than initiate interaction, despite our guidance to engage more directly with her. Overall, Hea took good care of our home and cat, and we were satisfied with the sit. For future homeowners, we recommend being clear about your expectations for communication, updates, and any assistance with travel arrangements or transportation.

Jeffrey & Aviva

Jeffrey and Aviva returned to pet sit our little (5kg) dog Tosca for the second time in a month. This time they looked after her two weeks. They kept in touch daily and when we returned Tosca looked very happy and healthy and well cared for. The house was also very tidy and clean. We were only said we could not say thank you in person because hey left before we arrived. A huge thanks for looking after Tosca with so much care and love. I hope you can come back to dog sit for us. I would def recommend you to other owners. Enjoy your further trips!

Allison

Allison (and her daughter) were wonderful housesitters, they were great communicators, tidy and friendly people. They even sent extra photos when we were missing our service pup. Thank you for your thoughtful care of our pets and home. We would highly recommend their care, they clearly love animals <3

Dana

Dana was an amazing sitter for my dog Gypsy. She sent me many photos during her stay and it was clear my pup had the best time. I would highly recommend Dana to anyone in need of a good sitter. I hope to have her sit again any time!

Rebecca

Rebecca did a stellar job taking care of our Golden Retriever, Piper. She was communicative, responsive and reliable in all aspects of our “sit” relationship. Piper had a minor mishap during the “sit” and Rebecca handled it very nicely. We returned from a week away to find Piper happy and comfortable. We’d be pleased to invite Rebecca to take care of Piper again.

Jason

We were blown away by the incredible love and care Jason and Jennifer gave our dog and two cats, the animals were really sad to see them leave! Jason and Jennifer are a great team to have looking after your house and pets, we couldn't reccomend them enough. They went over and above our expectations, and are a really fun easy to get along with couple, brilliant.

Lydia

Lydia was so kind and caring to our pets. She took great care of them and our home!

Hailey & Abigail

Hailey was very communicative and took great care of our home! Would have her stay over again.

Molly

Molly was a pleasure to have in my home. She was attentive to my dogs, Kona and Carson. Molly communicated and sent pictures of my chickens and dogs. She handled our current "heat wave" 114 degrees with ease. I welcome her back anytime. Mary

David

Thank you Dave and Jane,, such lovely people with a warm welcome. They invited me to arrive a day early, and introduced me to the local area and the best coffee.
Now to Monty, who is clearly much loved, and very affectionate but does scare easily so needs a gentle touch. We made friends quickly and she then spent the rest of our time together showing me what she wanted next, so she was. very easy to take care of and perfect company. 
The house, gardens and location can't be faulted, the kind of place you don't want to leave, but there is lots to explore within just a few miles, especially if you like walking and coastlines.
Finally,  just for the icing on the cake, red squirrels visit the garden!

Kris

My stay with Mabli and Slim Shady was wonderful.  They are very sweet, polite and calm.  They love affection and where I was they were together.  The house is amazing, very spacious and had everything I needed, I stayed there for a week and their parents were very attentive to me.  It definitely felt like home and I highly recommend it.

Heather

Heather has a beautiful home in a great location. I enjoyed my stay.

Nancy

Nancy is very kind and great at communication. Ella and Pipa are so sweet and relaxed. Pipa will want to be next to you a lot and will even sleep with you. The house and neighborhood was nice too. I recommend this sit :)

Kristen

Kristen was awesome! Super easy going & awesome with communication. I would recommend sitting for her if you’re looking to stay near Dallas, lots of awesome spots near her food wise as well.

As for the pets Brutus & Chai are the biggest cuddlebugs!! They will sleep most the day but love to follow you around if it means they can get some extra love :)

Thank you for having us Kristen!
