Pet Sitters in Hercules, CA

Cindi

Cindi was a wonderful sitter. We came home to a happy pup, a sparkling home and some delicious homemade cauliflower soup! She shared some pics during our trip and asked relevant questions as they arose, but I also found her to be self sufficient. We will definitely be pleased if she can come again.

Alison

Alison took wonderful care of our cat and our home! Everything was spotless when we returned. Communication was quick and seamless. We were grateful to have Alison keep our cat company during the holidays. Thanks so much!!

Michael & Lizzie

This was the second time Michael and Lizzie watched Ella and I would absolutely have them back again. They did an excellent job while we were away for a week, and we came home to a happy dog and a clean home. Definitely recommend!

Samantha & Ben

I came home to two happy cats and a clean home. Sammy took the initiative when needed and was self-reliant while I was away. I could tell she and Jonas were capable and reliable that I was leaving my home in good hands.

Sabrina

Sabrina is always a joy to coordinate with!

Matthew

Matthew and Monica were a delight and we enjoyed having them in our home. we came back after a two week trip to find all of our pets well loved and cared for. We would be happy to have Matt & Monica back some other time in the future.

Tim

Tim was great! He handled Keno very well and kept us updating frequently on how the animals are doing. He was very clean and respectful as well. I recommend!

Denice

Denice left the house immaculate and we had a content pup when we returned home. Thanks Denice for your efforts.

Anny & Shuhan

Anny and Shuhan have completely raised the bar for pet/home sitters in my eyes. They were tasked with watching my 8 year old, a very unique and energetic Australian Shepherd Collie Mix and my many plants for a total of 10 days, and they have completely exceeded my expectations in every way. I consider myself blessed to have found them. Link was happy as a peach and neither needed anything nor wanted for anything more. He had all the affection and attention he needed. They stuck to his original schedule to a T, and added a bunch of fun activities in between. He adored the pair, who took him on many adventures which included errands, hiking, the beach, a day in the suburbs, small hangouts with dog loving friends, and all the walks he could want. I was graced with a nightly update of how the day went, which included a daily photo reel of my little guy. This was the cherry on top and really brought me relief and daily joy in knowing how well he was being cared for. Finding ways to ensure Link gets out his energy is not always easy because he has recently been having issues at the park, so their creativity and motivation to explore was extremely appreciated. They managed to teach my 8 year old pup a NEW trick while I was gone, that we are both still enjoying to this day. Who says you can’t teach an old dog new tricks? Not Anny and Shuhan, that’s who. Link is fed a homemade natural recipe for his tender tummy that I pre-make for my sitters. When I miscalculated the amount he would need, and he ended up needing more food, Anny and Shuhan went above and beyond to go and source the ingredients and then make the recipe. They could have taken numerous other easier routes to supplement his food, but they took this route because they knew it was better for Link, and they did so happily. To ensure we were a good match, they met with me prior to my trip and we took Link for a walk together to get acclimated and that was when I knew they were perfect. On that very first walk, Link went to grab a loose bone on the floor and Anny was immediately on top of it and got the bone out of his mouth in moments. That’s how good they are. If you’re considering choosing Anny and Shuhan, I would say don’t think twice, just do it. Rest assured when you leave your pets and your home in Anny and Shuhan’s care that you will come home to an immaculate home and to a well-cared for and majorly pampered pet. You may even be inspired to up your game for your pets after you see how much fun they had with Anny and Shuhan, I know I have. We have been going on long adventure walks everyday since. Thank you Anny and Shuhan, I could not have asked for a better caretaker for my fur baby.

Bita

Bita and Lou did a great job taking care of our dog, Nacho, and our house. Our dog is very shy and nervous meeting new people and she warmed up quickly to them. They gave Nacho plenty of exercise and attention. Bita and Lou were flexible when we had to change our travel plans, stayed in touch with us during our trip, and handled a long power outage with no problems. They also left our house very clean. We would be happy to have them watch Nacho again.

Janelle

Janelle was a great sitter. Wonderful communication, exercised Penny everyday, and kept the home very clean and tidy. Highly recommended, and would welcome her back anytime!

Elan

Elan did an excellent job taking care of my home and most importantly my pets while I was away. Elan was a great communicator and left my home neat and tidy. I would definitely ask him back to house/pet sit again.

pamela

Hannah & Joseph, are amazing sitters! They listened to all my requests in caring for my home and my dear Leia, a temperamental retired show dog. They communicated daily and sent cute pics of Leia. I highly recommend them and want to have them sit for Leia in the future. They’re a Lovely couple on an interesting journey.

VALERIE

Wonderful stay in Nice with the kitties Rocky and Peach. This was my 2nd time catsitting in Nice (different places) and I thoroughly enjoyed it once again. 

Rocky and Peach are easy going kitties, with Rocky always ready for a nice long cuddle (or a nice long nap), while Peach does things more on her own terms but she equally enjoys some good human company. 

Valerie's apartment is in a very convenient location in terms of public transport, supermarkets, shops, and greenery, and overall in a lively, safe neighbourhood, close to everything. 

Above all, Nice has fantastic surroundings with its coastal location near the mountains, and it's easy to enjoy the scenery by taking local buses or trains, some which depart in very close proximity to the apartment. Loved it!

Monica

What a great stay! Ellie and Lavender were so easy to hang out with and take care of. Ellie just stole my heart though, such a cuddle bug! Beautiful space as well, Monica had everything provided so you can just stay in with the cats, but it's centrally located so you can explore the city too. 5/5 would recommend!!

Emily

Our stay with Emily and Joe was fantastic. They had great communication leading up to the sit and during. The animals were all very well behaved and it was great to get to know Mac, Jazz, Thomas and Troy during the week. Their home is beautiful and they made us very welcome when we met them at the start of the sit. Would recommend a sit with them to anyone!

James

James is the ideal pet parent. He left everything labeled in detail, gave ample information about his cats Betsy and Billy and their preferences, habits, and personality, and replied quickly to questions. I would love to pet sit for James anytime.

Nikki

A very warm welcome from Nikki who came to pick us up from the station and brought us back at the end of the stay, a warm house and two very cuddly dogs Rocky and Storme. We recommend this house for your next house sitting. Thanks again Nikki

Susanna

This is a brilliant little inner city flat sit looking after sweet Lyra. With Portsmouth being an Island city, the location is easy to get to all tourist locations both within the city or straight out onto the Eastern Road to join the M27.

Lyra is still at the lovely playful kitten stage and loves her toy mice, she is super easy to look after and she slept at the bottom of my bed each night.

Susannah has completed the Welcome Guide and has everything organised. If Portsmouth is your location, this sit is perfect, thanks Susannah and Lyra
