Pet Sitters in Echo Lake, CA

Acenia

I met Acenia prior to my trip and knew that she would be a great house sitter. She went above and beyond in caring for my pets. I was delayed coming home and Acenia stayed longer than we originally agreed upon. It was obvious that my pets were a priority and she cared for them as if they were her own. I could not recommend her more highly and would be so appreciative if she would house sit for me again,

Annette & Martin

Annette has been wonderful throughout the process of petsitting our two cats and take care of our home. She is a very thoughtful woman, caring and has ben really good at asking questions when needed. She even bought a little plant for us as a gift which is the icing on the cake! You can count on Annette to be very attentive to the needs of cats, and you can definitely feel that she has a strong love for cats! We would welcome Annette again anytime. Take care!

Gina

Gina and Sean are amazing! I've recommended them to everyone I know on zeewoi. The house is immaculate, the yard looks great and my dogs are so pampered I think they are disappointed when we come home. I trust them completely and would have them here ANYTIME! Love them lots!

Judy

Judy was a fantastic dogsitter. She came a day early to get oriented and easily picked up my pup's routine as well as my needs around the house. She is a timely communicator and sent regular updates about my pup's staycation :) My house was in great shape when I returned and my dog was happy and relaxed. Highly recommend Judy and Todd!

Melody & Bill

Melody and Bill were great pet & house sitters. They took the time to arrive early and do a walk through to learn about the house and animals (a cat, two goats and five chickens). They asked good questions and were easy to communicate with. The house was left very clean and the animals all well cared for. We'd welcome them back and recommend them to others pet owners.

Alicia

Alicia was our first sitter from this site and she was the best!! She’s very organized and tidy. She kept our home cleaner than when we left it and was amazing with the animals. We have a wild puppy that she helped train. With 5 animals total, Alicia couldn’t have done a better job. We’d love to have her back!

Sydney & Anderson

Sydney and Anderson were wonderful sitters. We met twice via Zoom prior to the sit. My pup was happy and well regulated when we returned so we know he was loved when we were gone. Sydney kept in touch with me and sent updates of how things were going. My pup is socially aggressive with other dogs. Sydney had experienced this with her own dog so I felt really confident with her walking him. It all went so well and I think Romeo probably got more than 1 walk some days which is just so fabulous! The house was clean and organized when we returned with absolutely no issues. I would definitely have Sydney and Anderson back for another sit. Your pup will be lucky to have them sit if you are so fortunate to get them as a sitter. Highly recommend!

Cecilia

Cecilia took good care of our cats, and was very pleasant to interact with! She checked in just the right amount, and was quite self-sufficient (thanks!). Her spaces in our home were not quite as tidy as when we left (bathroom floor was not cleaned, her bed was not made, some of her food was in the refrigerator), but then again, we have two small kids so she might have thought the same about us and I think somehow our alarm was triggered while she was leaving which may have hastened her departure.

Kim

Kim was fantastic! This turned out to be a house sit instead of a pet sit, but Kim was so flexible and responsible! We so appreciated how clean and spotless she left the house! We can’t wait to have her sit again.

Tabitha

This was the second time that Tabitha took care of Peaches. Peaches appeared well taken care off and happy. The house was clean and tidy when we returned home

Diana

Diana and Frank were great sitters for our two pups while we were away. The dogs warmed up to them instantly. The pictures of their walks was reassuring as we traveled and upon our return the house was clean and well kept. We hope they consider returning in the future. Thank you!

Sheri

Wow! Sheri was amazing! Our puppy broke her tail prior to Sheri’s arrival and needed to wear a splint. Sheri not only managed this cumbersome problem perfectly, but she took our Tessa on long walks and gave her so much love. Our home was left immaculate. Tessa and we can’t wait to see Sheri again!

Sarah

It was a pleasure house and pet sitting for Sarah and Asa.  It is evident that they dearly care for their 3 cats Louie, Zara and Bam Bam. 

They left detailed instructions about their cats and apartment.

The apartment is modern, clean and organised with a small balcony. The location is very close to buses, trams and the Balaclava train station. 

Each of the cats have their own personality which kept me entertained during my 17 day sit.

Thank you Sarah and Asa for a great stay.

Kate

Though I have house/animal sat many, many times as I am self employed as a dog walker/hiker/trainer and house/animal sitter, this was my first house/animal sit on a barter system with trustedhousesitters.com and it couldn’t have been more idea! Firstly, Kate was very easy to communicate with— a very warm and welcoming individual. I drove out to her home and met her family and pets prior to my sit start date. Kate and Mike were extremely kind and personable. Trudy was very weary of my presence at first but with patience and kindness this did greatly improve. Kate and Mike’s home is fabulous with a nice downstairs guest suite wherein I slept comfortably my entire stay. They have a nice hot tub which I really appreciated following my long walks with Trudy. My first day of the sit was all about helping Trudy to find her comfort level with me. Once she reached that, she stayed very close. Trudy is really a very sweet and very well trained dog which made it super easy to keep her happy and safe. Nova the cat was pretty chill- doing her cat thing and made a decision the second night of my stay to sleep with me. :) I really enjoyed my time with Trudy and Nova! As for the area; Kate and Mike’s home is very close to the Ballard Locks in a nice and safe area of Seattle. You can hear the barking of seals and sea lions and calls of the seabirds, and their view from the many windows is really fabulous by day and night! The marina is a short walk from their home as well as Golden Gardens Park wherein Trudy and I spent much of our time. Discovery Park and Carkeek Park are also close and long-off leash walks on the beach at low tide with Trudy was definitely the highlight of my stay! I really enjoyed this sit and if you are lucky enough to be invited for a sit at Kate & Mike’s, you are fortunate indeed!

Elisabeth

Elisabeth's and Irv's cabin in the Brazos is such a peaceful retreat and a perfect spot to meet with family.  Riley is a super sweet, gentle companion who made my week's stay there so much more enjoyable with his eager, fun-loving attitude.  Communication with Elisabeth and Irv was easy, helpful and consistent both before and throughout my stay.  If you're looking for a refreshing departure from the city, the clean air, furry companion, and beautiful backdrop of the Brazos will fill your soul.

Elese

This was a great sit. Luna is very sweet and very easy to take care of. She loves spending some time outside and eating whenever she wants. She is also super sweet and loves cuddling up in the bed when she’s inside. Elese’s space is absolutely beautiful and peaceful and communicating with Elese felt the same. I would sit Luna again any time.

Hazel

Hazel and Dennis are very hospitable and made us feel welcome. They were organised and left comprehensive information about Spike and Missy Moo and the house. They have a beautiful home and it was a pleasure to take care of their home and to get to know the area. Spike is a little shy and the petsit was short so we didn't have enough time to get to know him better. The weather was hot and sunny and Spike spent a lot of time outdoors. He did come inside and have some lap time and has an incredibly loud purr. Missy Moo is less shy so we enjoyed strokes and cuddles a little more with her. Thoroughly enjoyed the sit and would happily return for a longer sit.

Lucy

Lucy and Jurgs are a lovely couple who made us very welcome in their home. We were able to meet them beforehand and their kitties, Jaffa Cake and O’Malley were a delight to care for. Jaffy enjoyed snuggling up on the sofa while O’Malley loved his tummy rubs. We had a good correspondence, back and forth, with Lucy beforehand and she and Jurgs left very helpful notes and sent videos to make sure we were well informed on the kitties and things to do in the neighbourhood as we love being in Wimbledon. It was much appreciated. They are great people and we wish them all the best for the future!
