Pet Sitters in Home Gardens, CA

Greg & Crystal came back for their second sit and stayed for an extended period of time that included the holidays. I couldn't be happier and more pleased with their care of both my home and my girls. The followed every rule in my profile and are extremely communicative. They checked in often and even got my girls some Christmas gifts. That was so sweet of them and beyond my expectations. They are always welcome back and I highly recommend them.

Jackie was AMAZING! She took such good care of my pup, Margo, with long walks (even in the rain!) and snuggles and keeping up with her meds. Jackie even sent sweet pics and updates on how things were going. And when I got back - the house was immaculate! Jackie was the BEST pup- and house-sitter ever!

From start to finish, Erika and her partner Sean were so kind, considerate, and easy to work with! Their experience was apparent from our first FaceTime meeting, where we discussed my dog’s care and daily routine. My pup, Arrow, can be very shy and nervous, so I’m always intentional about selecting a sitter for him, and Erika and Sean brought exactly the right approach. They were patient and encouraging, and after only a day or two, Arrow was in love with them! It was particularly special to hear how he opened up to Sean, as Arrow is typically more cautious of men than women. Erika and Sean sent me dozens of pictures — it helped keep my mind at ease knowing that Arrow was being doted on! And when Arrow got an upset stomach for a few days, they watched him carefully and sent me regular updates. Luckily, it was just a little stomach bug, and Arrow was back to begging for belly rubs and fetch in no time! Erika and Sean are truly the kindest people. They’re very responsible, tidy, communicative, and caring. I felt so at peace knowing they were watching Arrow while I was away, and I would invite them back anytime!

Overall, Hea did a sufficient job caring for our cat and home. Kitty seemed healthy and content, and the house was in good condition. However, this experience helped us refine our preferences for future sits. Hea shares a profile with Nicholas, but it appears she is the one handling the sits. Despite our inquiries, the details of their shared profile and arrangement remained unclear. In terms of organization, she had some mix-ups with dates and arrival times during pre-visit communication that required clarification, which she attributed to managing multiple sits and tracking many details. Although we provided the welcome guide in advance at her request, she still asked us to write down instructions for the cat’s medications and asked questions covered in the guide, later mentioning that she hadn’t yet reviewed it upon arrival. For reliability, Hea honored her travel commitments, but communication about the cat was inconsistent. Updates were irregular, sometimes necessitating us initiating them, and were fairly general (e.g., "doing well, ate well, spending time outside"). While she had assured us she was familiar with sending regular updates, in hindsight, we should have been more specific about our expectations. She also experienced an issue with her phone charger, which required her to switch to another phone and may have contributed to the lapses in communication. Regarding self-sufficiency, Hea requested to arrive the night before, which is common for some sits, and needed assistance with travel logistics. Per her request, we provided rides to and from the train station, helped with how to purchase a ticket, and assisted with her luggage. Despite volunteering for a sit far from her home, she expressed concerns about the cost and logistical challenges of public transportation, which we tried to accommodate by offering additional assistance, including a trip to the grocery store. On the plus side, Hea left our home in good condition—counters were clean, the trash was taken out, and the dishwasher was run. She was respectful of our space and kept everything tidy. For pet care, Kitty appeared happy and healthy upon our return, and Hea mentioned spending a lot of time at home, which likely helped our cat feel less lonely. She explained that she preferred to defer to the cat's wishes rather than initiate interaction, despite our guidance to engage more directly with her. Overall, Hea took good care of our home and cat, and we were satisfied with the sit. For future homeowners, we recommend being clear about your expectations for communication, updates, and any assistance with travel arrangements or transportation.

Blair and Adam were phenomenal housesitters! We couldn't have asked for a better family to take care of our pups and home. They went above and beyond leaving the house clean/tidy, sent multiple daily pictures of the adventures they went on with the dogs, and were super responsive before and during the stay. We can't recommend them enough!

Lena was great. All our animals and plants were happy and our house was clean when we came home. Her communication was excellent. We'd recommend her.

Heather was reliable, communicative, friendly, and trustworthy. After an initial meet and greet over Zoom, I knew right away that our dog and our home would be in good hands. She is a mature and responsible professional who was pleasant to deal with all around. She left the place very clean, she met us at the time we agreed upon, and she was patient and understanding with our dog who wasn’t on his best behavior when they first met. I highly recommend Heather as a sitter and would love to have her again.

Wonderful!!!!! Chelley and Russ sat for us and our three dogs over 3 days. They are wonderful! This was their first sit on TH and after having had many sitters, we can honestly say they are among the top. They made the effort to drive up early through traffic in order to have time to get acquainted with us, the dogs, and the house. They had quite the crew to take care as Mateo (my grand dog) was here. They are warm, friendly, trustworthy, super communicative, prompt, and great with dogs of all ages (ours ranged from 1 to 14). They clearly have lots of experience with dogs and care about them tremendously. Even though it was their first sit, we had no concerns about trusting them with our dogs who mean the world to us. To top it off, the house was cleaner when we came home than when we left! We really hope to have them back again another time. Thanks!!!!

Alicia took time to get acquainted with our pet dog and to make her feel comfortable. By the time we left our usually anxious pet, she did not even look at us and, instead, focused on Alicia. It was a relief and a pleasure to have Alicia become our very first ever TrustedHousitter, as she unburdened us with her calm and kind demeanor, evident familiarity caring for a pet dog and everything else we got to know about her during our “meet and greet” time and orientation to our pet, home and the information binders we left for her. We are grateful for Alicia and feel fortunate to have found her through zeewoi!

We cannot thank Analina for all her help! She ensured our dogs were loved and taken care of! Always communicated well regarding her needs and sent lots of photos to us while on vacation. Though our internet was very slow, she was willing to work with us to make her feel the best at home possible. I would recommend Analina to anyone. She made our experience using this app so easy. Trusting someone with your fur babies is not easy, but Analina ensured us every step of the way. Endless thank yous 🫶🏽

Wish I could give Denise more than 5 stars. She is awesome! Communicates very well before and during the sit. Obviously loves our 2 boys and they love her. Highly recommend Denise and hope she will come back to spend time with our fur babies. ❤️

Barbie and John were perfect pet and house sitters. From the initial interview we knew they were a fit. They cared about our girls and took extra time to be sure that Callie (a notorious slow eater) finished every meal 😁 We got to know them when they arrived the night before and from that time forward they felt like old friends. We hope to see them again in the future.
