Dog Sitters in El Cajon, CA

Daragh & Sarah

Where do I start about how WONDERFUL Sarah and Daragh are...in a nutshell, if they apply to take care of your pets and home, SCOOP THEM ASAP!!! I am new to zeewoi, and had only hosted 1 other sitter in May. That sit was OK...house and dogs were fine when I returned, however, the sitter was not the best communicator and really didn't seem like she was into my dogs or the sit...honestly, I think she was in a transient situation and was in it only for the free roof over her head (never really got the "story" of where she actually lived) THIS WAS NOT THE CASE WITH SARAH AND DARAGH. Every step with this AMAZING couple was a true pleasure...they are fantastic communicators, really LOVE animals, and went above and beyond to take care of me, my dogs, car, and home. They arrived from San Diego the day before I departed and I was so blessed to spend some time with them(they took me out to dinner AND drove me to the airport at 3:00am to catch my 6:00 am flight out of SFO AND picked me up when I arrived) While I was away, they texted me daily and sent me pics and updates of the dogs and their Sausalito/SF adventures :) When I arrived home, the place was BETTER than I had left it with sweet thoughtful gifts for me and the dogs. My trip to Tulum was terrible, BUT the silver lining is that I made 2 amazing friends who have invited me to their home in San Diego and I cannot wait to see them again. I could go on and on about other wonderful details, but suffice to say, A MILLION STARS FOR DARAGH AND SARAH.

Kinkani & Dean

Kinkani and Dean took care for our 2 cats, our few small fishes and our house. They arrived a few hours before we had to leave. As we had guests until the day before we were still packing up the bags. We went all together to a restaurant at lunchtime so we could enjoy their company and explain somemore things. We regret that they already left the house early in the morning on the day before we returned. Our house was clean, the animals were in good condition and happy to see us again.

Olivia & Tylar

Olivia and Tylar were absolutely amazing during the entire sit (which was nearly 2.5 weeks). I received regular updates and wonderful photos from Olivia. They took extra care of my senior dog who requires some extra attention and clean-up and never seemed put-out at all. by this extra work. I cannot recommend their help enough!

Timothy

Tim watched our dog Kona over the holidays and we can’t say enough great things about the experience! He sent many updates throughout the day and made sure Kona was staying active. We came home to a spotless place. He is extremely personable and would definitely reach out to him again for any future sitting opportunities.

Madeleine

Madeline was super responsible and our dog virtually adopted her!

Kandis

What a wonderful pair of sitters, we left feeling sure everything would be fine with our cats. Paul and Kandis have a very calm nature and followed all our requests, sent photo collages of Turrón and Galleta and the house was very clean on our return. A short visit but we would have them again without a doubt :)

Andrea

We were SOOO lucky to have Andrea as our house and pet sitter during our vacation. She took excellent care of our energetic dog (even administered medication!), fish, and chickens. The house was even cleaner upon our return than it had been when we left! Would definitely have Andrea again anytime.

Andrew

Wonderful pet sitters! Super responsible, communicative, very attentive to pets, house was clean, pets were happy, and they left a rose on the table! Don’t hesitate to invite this wonderful pair to sit - they were perfect!

Paige

Paige took good care of my little dog and my apartment for a week. She was responsive & good with communication. Would be happy to have her as a return sitter.

Michelle

Michelle was brilliant, very organised and communicated a lot, our dogs seemed very happy and house immaculate on our return. Could not recommend Michelle highly enough - great .

Jess

Jess is an amazing pet sitter. She took care of your three cats during our three week holidays. From the beginning, the contact with her was great and we were convinced that our cats were in good hands. During our holidays, she kept us updated with cat pictures and updates. When we came back home, the house was completely clean and the cats seemed very at ease. Thanks a lot Jess!

Stephanie

Stephanie did a great job caring for our pup and three cats, one of which is 19 and blind! She was excellent at communicating - sent daily pictures so we could see how our fur babies were doing. She washed her own towels and sheets before leaving and even made up her bed! Stephanie is very friendly and easy to talk to. And she was flexible with her dates when ours changed slightly. Good job!

David

Luke and Ivana sat for us for over five weeks while we were in Australia. Our three Burmese cats took to them immediately and cuddled up with them as if they'd known them for ever. We know thois because of the photos that Luke sent to us.

Our oldest cat, Ollie, has a medical condition that require eyedrops three times a day, and Luke and Ivana coped with this without difficulty. His condition means that Ollie also begs for food throughout the day, and we asked Luke and Ivana to resist this if possible, keeping all three to three careful daily meals. On our return Ollie had returned to his target weight, so perhaps they took even better care of him than we do! ;o)

Our house was immaculate on our return, and we'd have no difficulty whatsoever in giving Luke and Ivana our very warmest endorsements as excellent housesitters. We hope that we might see them again one day!

Fiona

Thank you so much Rick and Melissa for looking after Lottie and Millie so beautifully. It is so lovely to return home to such happy animals and house that was as neat as a pin. Great housesitters

Anna

Damian looked after our two cats, and the house and garden (including keeping an eye on the seedlings and watering) absolutely magnificently.
