Dog Sitters in Hawthorne, CA

When I first saw Dottie’s profile she sounded like a dream. Her profile was saturated with zen, full of a life of children + animals, public service/volunteer work + she was a traveler/explorer of the world with her career. With all of those she was a quick vet! I couldn't help but think what a *interesting* woman - I must speak with her! After speaking to her, I felt so assured she could handle anything + her presence was calming, warm, saturated in gratitude + peacefulness (which is something I try to aspire to in the theme of my apartment). When she said she connected with my apartment (my patio, etc) + I knew it would be a great match! We started communicating before my trip + she was sending lovely messages, meditations, thoughtful passages + sayings which I LOVED. She even sent a sweet thoughtful card (as my mom had just passed) - kinder than most people I know! I had to push back my trip start date + asked if she wanted to stay with me but she instead was very accommodating + made alternate arrangements + came by the day I was leaving. She sent pictures of the kitties daily + when there was a hail storm she rescued my Nutella, girl cat, from the patio. She was scared + Dottie brought her back in. Any little thing I asked she was great with. I loaded her with a lot of information at the get go + about packages coming in + she was very easy going about it all. We bonded early on over shared life experiences, similar paths we are both on in this last year so when I saw the gifts she left me upon her departing it brightened my day oh so much! We both love art + in her gifts she left some things I can use in my future art which was oh so thoughtful! She also left sweet notes (she is SO good at this!) + a custom gift that was oh so perfectly in tune with my life path now. She also left snacks + a few things I am now using (since I arrived to a fridge with not much). After the toughest year of my life (my mom’s recent passing) these sweet, caring gestures go so far for me. Really. Dottie’s presence is a gift in itself. She cares for all things, people, animals, homes + respects everything! Her kindness is boundless + her thoughtfulness even more so. P.S. I arrived at a super clean home, one where I did not need to do a THING. God bless this woman! I only wish she was local + we could have her more often. Dottie, you were such a blessing to us! Love you! Love, Kim, Max + Nutella

It is difficult to know where to begin about Britta. On a scale of one to five stars she is a ten! She was hands down the best house and dog sitter we have ever had. To top that off we had some tasks we asked her to do unrelated to house or dog sitting and she cheerfully did those. Our house was cleaner than when we left. She sent us pictures of our dog every few days and called when she had any concerns or questions. Britta came in a stranger and left as one who we know will be a lifelong friend. Thank you Britta!

Hannah & Matt looked after our dog Tali over a long weekend. They were kind and very diligent to make sure they understood everything he would need. And we came home to a spotless house and a happy dog. Would recommend.

This was the second short sit for Aletheia and Pershaud. Simmie knows them and all seemed to go well. We would be happy to have them sit for Simmie again!

Ruby was well taken care of and my home was left clean and tidy! Would recommend!

Annabel and Noel were fantastic! Super communicative and left both my home and Morten in pristine condition. 10/10 would have them back any time <3

I’m so thankful that Bri and Dillon hung with Potato. They did a great job with him. I hope to have them back soon!

I so appreciated Shewit. Even though she came down with COVID two days before the site, she assured me she could still do it, and she was right. Shewit was still able to walk them, feed them, hang out with them (she even got my elusive male cat to hang out - impressive!), leave the house clean. She communicated regularly, and asked a lot of questions that let me know she wads paying attention. And besides all that, she has a lovely, kind, and patient demeanor. I already wrote and told her to come back anytime.

It was Sanya’s first with zeewoi but you would have thought she was doing it for years. Sanya was incredibly communicative, responsive and caring. I would have Sanya come back in a heartbeat and highly recommend her for your next sit. Thank you Sanya for caring my Max and Minnie.

Anna took care of Otto and my apartment while I was visiting family. She walked him a lot and shared some great photos. I was confident that she was taking good care of my Otto and she’d be welcome back again!

Morgan was an absolute dream house sitter and care taker for Hudson! She was very communicative, kind and great with Hud plus she left my home spotless. I sing her praises!

Eli is kind, responsible and self sufficient. Our shy cat warmed up to him quickly. He took great care of our home and pets. Our dog has been so sad since Eli left. It seems she feel in love with him and misses him. Our dog is elderly and requiring supplements, special attention and care on her walks because she struggles with arthritis and hip dysplasia. Eli acclimated to the routine and all the nuances of the care she requires. Eli is conscious and left our home immaculate. I noticed some extra cleaning he did that we didn’t ask for, like cleaning mirrors and removing a bandaid that was stuck to our floor from our daughter long ago :) We highly recommend Eli to anyone needing a caring, responsible individual experienced at pet and house sitting.
