Cat Sitters in Castro Valley, CA

Cecile

Cecile and her family were lovely and easy to schedule and communicate with. She took great care of Sophie and our home!

Martin

Zero complaints. Way better than expected. Super friendly and responds fast. We talked alot about travels etc, not just about the sitting. Would recommend 10/10.

Ria

Ria watched our two kittens while we were on holiday and she was absolutely fantastic! In addition to being really good with the cats, she was very communicative and responsive. She sent us regular pictures and videos while playing and cuddling with the cats and was completely self reliant. We would love to have Ria house sit for us again one day.

Sabrina

Sabrina is always a joy to coordinate with!

Grace Leaf

Grace and Ryan did an outstanding job taking care of my two babies, Baco and Eros. Their attentive, loving approach ensured they were always happy and well-tended. Grace and Ryan’s dedication and reliability shone through, as they went above and beyond in every aspect of their care, and I’m very grateful for that. Their regular updates and thoughtful attention to detail gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. I highly recommend Grace and Ryan for pet sitting – they’re truly fantastic!

Kyle & Elise

Kyle and Elise gave my boys the best care out of anyone that has watched them in the past 12 years. Their medical knowledge and compassion for animals (especially senior pups) made me feel at ease with leaving my boys. One of my pups was having some medical issues while we’re gone and they were able to care for him and make me feel so much better about it. I wish they lived closer because I’d have them back anytime. Thank you again for everything!

Bobby

We’ve been pretty lucky to have some really great sitters in the relatively short time using zeewoi, but Bobby is the first that has been able to fully interact with our extremely shy kitty, Crush. All of the other cats were great with Bobby as well so we had no doubt the cats (and house) were in great hands! Bobby also communicated well with good questions as they came up and provided updates as needed. The house was clean upon arriving home and as we left it too. We (including the cats!) would be happy to have Bobby back anytime!

Martin & Beth

Martin & Beth took great care of Flo! They texted me once a day to let me know how things were going. It was the perfect amount of connection. They got Flo out for snow play every day which was a bit of an adventure since Truckee was lacking in snow this Christmas. They brought their dog Rosie and everything went very well. Flo & Rosie obviously became friends quickly. The house was clean and tidy when I got home. I really appreciate them taking good care of my home as well. I would love to have them back in the future.

Tobi & Ling

Tobi and Ling were amazing sitters! Simba loved them and definitely missed them when their time was up. I had made an error in the days I needed and they were very gracious and understanding and made changes on their end to accommodate my error. They had great communication and were extremely easy to have stay. The house was immaculate when we got home. I really can’t recommend them enough. Lovely people!

Melanie & Morgan

A joy to work with.

Gabrielle & Nikola

Cricket just loved hanging out with Gabrielle while I was away! She was super-responsible and reliable. She left the apartment looking fantastic and Cricket was a happy, happy dog when I got back.

Calais

Calis did a great job caring for my cat, Ollie, and my apartment while I was away for a week. She sent me regular updates and videos/photos, and Ollie looked relaxed and happy. Ollie seemed really content and well-cared-for when I got back, and my apartment was even cleaner than when I’d left. Calais was tidy and respectful, and followed all instructions and requests for taking care of the place. I can’t recommend her enough!

Thank you both, happy and safe onward travels and come back any time!
