Cat Sitters in Canyon Lake, CA

Tara

Tara beautifully managed quite an unusual situation while pet-sitting for Pang-Zi and Charlotte.... she handled pet-care during a hurricane!!!! And she did a great job. We are so thankful! Tara managed to bundle up herself and our two cats and find a pet-friendly hotel inland from Cedar Key during Hurricane Debby. She handled the whole situation professionally and with excellent communication. If you are looking for a pet-sitter who can handle any event, you won't go wrong with Tara. We are forever grateful!

Jennifer

Jennifer was a top notice guest, housesitter, and dog watcher. She was very easy to communicate with, arrived on time, and was quick to learn the routine. She has a soft and caring spirit about her and the pups really latched on to her quickly. She cleaned the house before we returned (amazing!) and gave great attention to caring for the dogs. She is welcome back anytime!

Leticia

Leticia was amazing. She took great care of Jo and communicated well, always asking for clarification when needed. It was wonderful to come home to a house that was just as we left it and a happy dog. We would love to have her back!

Justin

We highly recommend Justin and would be happy to have him back for a future sit! He was extremely reliable and easy to communicate with. He took great care of Rigz and Santi and our home was super clean and in perfect order when we returned. Thanks, Justin!

Aleah

I had back -to-back trips scheduled and I was lucky enough to have Aleah stay. It was comforting to know she was familiar with my fur baby and house. She did an amazing job and left my house clean and tidy. I would have her come again and would highly recommend her!

Seungyoung & Travis

Seungyoung & Travis were outstanding. They not only took care of all our dogs needs, they also took them on so many outings: dog parks,trips to the beach etc. The boys were very happy and worn out by the end of each day. We could not have been happier

Dianne

Diane was prompt, & reliable for our sit. She came to meet them even a few days before. Diane was self reliant and didn’t really need anything from us. The house was clean like no one had been here. She brushed Arlee and even made friends with Shy Emi. Great sitter.

Evette

Evette was so great with my pups per usual! Always love having her.

Janessa

Rocky is a formerly feral cat and as I suspected, he was cautious and would not let Janessa near him. He didn’t run out of the house (he has a cat door) as he did with a prior sitter, but stayed in the same room with Janessa. He trusted her and stayed in the house most of the time during the sit. The last prior sit he stayed outside the whole time. Janessa was quick to respond to any questions we had and she needed very little further assistance from us during the sit. We were able to enjoy our honeymoon thanks to Janessa’s handling of Rocky. Janessa washed linens she used and left the house clean and in order.

Nancy

I enjoyed meeting Nancy. My cat and house looked well cared for upon return. She texted if any questions, responded promptly if I had questions or request...such as bringing outside plants in to keep from possibly freezing. I look forward to having her sit again in the future.

Amy

Amy & Fred were instant buddies with Hunny and Aoife. The “sisters” ( H & A) got all the walks and cuddles they wanted. Amy and Fred communicated well and left the place spotless. Yet again we feel we didn’t just get house sitters but new friends too.

Yuki

Yuki was great with our guinea pigs and kitties! She has a great energy and is a good communicator, all of which meant we could relax on our vacation knowing our house and menagerie were in good hands.

Monica

Emilia took care of my cat for one week. She was really clear in her communication before the actual sit, very well prepared, kind and friendly. She left the house very neat, and sent me just the right amount of cat updates while I was on holiday. I highly recommend Emilia :D and I'm sure my cat would too :P

Alison

Cindy is a fabulous house sitter. Right from our first conversation via video call, she was easy to chat to, friendly and outgoing. I immediately felt confident about inviting her to do a one month house sit for us, looking after Cody and Tipsy.
She is a great communicator, and she sent regular texts to stay in touch in the weeks before her arrival, and also during our trips. She is thorough, with good attention to detail. I liked that she asked to see our Welcome Guide in advance, and clearly she had read through it before she arrived for the sit. Having had a few video calls and texts with Cindy, I felt I already knew her when she arrived.
It was clear to see how well she bonded with our dog, Cody, and he with her. She carefully followed the way we look after him, and the house rules for both the dog and the cat, and Cody became incredibly fond of her!
Cindy was very easy to have around the house in the days when we overlapped; she is good company, and she kept her room and the rest of the house clean and tidy. She is independent, but also respects how we wanted things done. She also kept all my plants looking great!
I would highly recommend Cindy for a house sit, and would welcome her back here with open arms!
