Cat Sitters in La Jolla, CA

Daniel

Daniel was great! He was communicative and self sufficient. The cats seemed very happy and comfortable. The house was very tidy when I arrived back!

David-Jeremiah

David was our first zeewoi and was an amazing introduction to this community. He is an excellent communicator, extremely reliable, and was a great companion to our dog. We couldn't have asked for a better person to care for our pet and home.

Syrena

Syrena is lovely, communicative, and loved my furry zoo! My house was left spotless and I would have her back in a heartbeat.

Madeleine

Madeline was super responsible and our dog virtually adopted her!

Maria & Tom

Maria & Tom were amazing and super kind! I loved that we got to video call prior to meet and chat. They were very responsive and it was easy to get organized with. Charlotte was well taken care of, and so was our home. We felt at peace while away. Thank you both so much!

Sol ☀️

Sol was amazing! I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She took excellent care of Ceniza and kept me updated on how she was going. When I returned, I could tell that Ceni was well cared for. She sent me daily photos and videos, which I loved, and reached out with any questions. She even offered to arrive early in the morning before I had to leave for my flight to meet me and Ceniza before I left. From the moment I met her, I felt comfortable leaving as she’s a really warm person. She also took amazing care of the house- it was even better than I left it. Before, I’ve had to spend a day or even more cleaning and getting everything back into place after a sitter, but I returned this time and didn’t have to do anything. Just enjoy being home. Ceni and I would love to have Sol back! :)

Mia

MIa is now my go-to petsitter! She adores my cats (I think they love her more than me!) She leaves my house immaculate and I know I can trust her. Besides, she's just delightful!

Jennifer

I had the pleasure of having Jennifer as my petsitter in August, and I couldn’t be happier with how she cared for the petgang (2 dogs, 2 cats). Jennifer travelled all the way from San Diego to Thessaloniki just to look after my furry family members. We all felt honoured. She is incredibly reliable, trustworthy, and has a genuine love for animals. My petgang was not only well cared for but also happy and relaxed when I returned, which speaks volumes about the love and attention Jennifer gave them. One of the things that truly sets Jennifer apart is her willingness to travel long distances to care for your pets. Jennifer is a delightful, intelligent and fun person. Her enthusiasm and positive energy were infectious, and I felt completely at ease knowing my pets were in such capable hands. I highly recommend Jennifer to anyone looking for a petsitter. I’d welcome her back anytime—my pets and I would love to see her again! Euxaristo Jennifer!!!

Marica & Maurice

We absolutely loved having Marica, Maurice and Bucky sit for the week! They were all so friendly and easy going, took amazing care of our house and our fur babies - max and Bucky got along like best friends. We appreciated that they were direct with questions and incredibly responsive and responsible with our wily cats, too. We would and hopefully will have them back anytime!

Katie

Katie was amazing! She was so sweet, easy to work with, and good with our two dogs. We’d have her back anytime and would highly recommend her!

Heidi

If I could give Heidi 6 stars rather than 5 stars I would. Stella adored her, she was the perfect house sitter and I loved that she made the most of her time in the area.

Meredith

Jess was a lifesaver! She took excellent care of my cat, gave regular updates with great pictures, and was respectful of my space. I felt such peace of mind knowing my needy cat was getting the attention and love he needed. I highly recommend Jess and would love to have her housesit again any time.

Laura

We are so lucky to have matched with Charlina and Magdalena for our housesit. They took amazing care of our dogs and our houseplants are flourishing like never before. They were very accommodating of a big change in plans. Two weeks before leaving, we found out that our senior dog was going to need twice daily medications. It’s a lot and they did a great job making sure she got her pills and she’s looking great! Thank you so much for your flexibility. You enabled us to be away from home for a very long time. Beezit misses you dearly.
