Dog Sitters in Castro Valley, CA

Jamie

Jamie was great to have at our home. Attentive and loving to our pets. Good communicator. Conscientious and respectful.

Romina

Romina was a great communicator and sent me photos and videos of Henry. I came back to a nice clean home and a happy dog!

Sundee

Sundee is the best housesitter we've ever had. She took care of our house and our dog Quasi for two weeks. Beside the usual perfection in communication / organization / cleanliness, Sundee was a joy to chat with and get to know over the sit! We're so excited to know her and keep in touch with her going forward. She brought her dog Patcha who was very sweet and well behaved. She instantly became Quasi's best friend and adventure mate! They went on hikes, runs, and bike rides. Quasi already misses both of them!

Katherine & Juan

Kathy and Juan were our very first housesitter after we joined this site, and boy, we didn't know how lucky we were. They've come back to housesit for us a number of times since; every time they agree to housesit for us I know we will have a great vacation with a peace of mind. They are organized, thoughtful, and self-sufficient. They send us nightly updates to let us know how our fur babies are doing, and adheres to our house manual (we know because they take a lot of notes on the printout that we provide). We are always happy to have Kathy and Juan come housesit for us, and cannot recommend them enough.

Dror

Dror and Monica were fantastic! They were easy to coordinate with and asked great questions to ensure that they knew everything necessary to take care of our dog and home. They played fetch with our dog and spoiled her with way more walks than she normally gets. They sent us updates on how things were going while we were away. We came back to a happy pup, tidy house, and a well maintained garden. We highly recommend them and would love to have them back to sit again in the future.

Lindsay

Lindsay (and her husband and two daughters) came to stay at our house for two weeks to look after our dog Betsy. They truly are such an amazing, friendly, kind and and professional family. Betsy was so loved in our absence and I knew from the moment we met that Betsy was in such good hands (Lindsay is a professional dog walker so an expert in her field). Each day I would get photos of what Betsy was getting up to and Betsy had the best and such a fun time with Lindsay and her family. The house was left pristine. Anyone would be lucky to have Lindsay and her family look after their pet - we (especially Betsy!) would love them to return. I'd recommend them in a heartbeat.

Andrew

Andrew cared for my home and cat for a little over 4 days. He was communicative, responsible, and overall a pleasure to meet. He took great care of everything, and I came to a happy cat and clean home! 10/10 would recommend.

William

William understood the food prep very quickly and even fixed the ants issue I had. I knew Minou was in good hands and well looked after. Bonus point for coming back to a clean bed. 🌸 I’d have William over for another sit anytime.

Adele

Adele was great with my cat! My cat was sad I was out of town, as I have been busy recently. She kept Adele up at night and I was very thankful she didn’t give up or leave early due to an anxious cat. Thankful for her stay

Jen

Once again, Jen to the rescue - it's so wonderful to have a highly competent, reliable, cat-loving TH sitter nearby! Once again, we were fortunate that Jen was available when we needed someone to watch our kitties at the last-minute. Once again, Jen took loving care of Peaches and Lucy, communicated effortlessly, sent updates with cute pictures, and left our house spotlessly clean. Once again - thanks, Jen!

penelope

Penny was a terrific house sitter. They were easy to communicate with on the front end. When I was away, they sent a picture of Crumpet every day, as requested. They also reached out with questions in order to make sure everything was as I would want. When I got home, the house was clean and tidy, and most importantly, Crumpet was relaxed and had obviously been well-cared for.

Rebecca

Rebecca was great. Came home to a clean house and a calm and content kitty. I had no cell service the whole time I was away and she was very self sufficient. Would definitely recommend and have her back.

Jeanette

We had a great experience with Jan and his friend Ava coming to sit Tyler. Communication was great from the outset and everything was easy to organise. 
While we were away we received great updates from Jan on all the adventures they had taken Tyler on and some truly incredible photographs.
It was clear that Tyler was extremely well cared for and having the time of his life with Jan.
Just knowing our boy was so well looked after and having so much fun definitely made for a relaxed holiday. We wouldn’t hesitate to invite Jan back to look after Tyler again.

Nicole

Jessica was a DREAM!  She was so kind to my dog and very reliable.  At no point during my trip did I have to wonder if Karen (my dog) was being fed on time or let out often enough.  Jessica even took Karen out on adventures whenever possible.  She left my home just as she found it and is welcome back any time.  This was a fantastic experience!

Colleen

Lindsey was a dream of a house and cat sitter. We always worry about leaving our babies because they require a lot of love and attention and this was our first long trip since the pandemic hit. At every step she made us feel comfortable that our kitty babies were well taken care of and we were able to enjoy our vacation with peace of mind. Lindsey had top-notch communication, asked all of the right questions about their routines, sent lots of sweet updates, and I’m pretty sure our home was cleaner than we left it! Her attention to detail was amazing and we genuinely felt that they would not even miss us. We can only hope that she would be willing to sit for us again sometime in the future. She is 110% recommended by us!!!
