Pet Sitters in Los Altos Hills, CA

Eileen

Eileen was a great house sitter. She was very conscientious and caring with the animals. She regularly took the dog for very long walks and even managed to charm the normally very shy cat. The house was clean and tidy on our return. It was very nice to meet Eileen too, she's a very interesting person. We would definitely recommend her as a housesitter.

Karisa & Matthew

Karisa and Matt were amazing sitters! They were extremely self-sufficient, clean, and communicative. They sent lots of cute updates of Frank from pictures out on a walk to snuggling up on the couch. They left the house in great condition for us to come home to. We would be happy to have them watch Frank again!

Trevor & Mary

Trevor and Mary are our trusted “go-to” house and pet-sitters, and have done multiple sits for us. Our cats love them, and we do too! They are conscientious, communicative, and great people. 5 stars all the way!

Gala & Rares

Gala and Rares were extraordinary house sitters, and we were very pleased with their care for our many animals (dog, chickens, guinea pig, fish, snake). Communication was excellent with daily pictures, and they asked great questions which showed they were conscientious about the welfare of our house and animals. They graciously took our dog on many outings to ease her anxiety. The house was spotless when we returned, and they left us with several pamphlets on local sightseeing opportunities to help us enhance our welcome packet. We (and our dog) would highly recommend them to anyone and would gladly have them back anytime.

Habiba

Habiba and Alex are awesome! They came to watch my 3 dogs in rural Idaho for a long weekend and we could not have been happier! They were very communicative about their arrival and travel and took wonderful care of our dogs while we were gone. They took detailed notes about the daily activities with the dogs as we were vacationing out of cell or internet service. We would definitely welcome them back for our next housesit, and we give them 5 stars!!

Jay

Jay and Jennifer were wonderful house and pet sitters. They were very easy to communicate with and very responsive. They kept our house spotless and even washed and re-made the bed. Most importantly, our kitties did really well with them and seemed in good spirits to when we arrived home. We would highly recommend Jay and Jennifer and would welcome them in our home again.

Charlotte & Daniel

Charlotte and Daniel were ideal housesitters! They communicated often and very clearly; sent great photos of our pets and took perfect care of our home. Charlotte changed her schedule so we could meet in person before the sit and she made sure we were on schedule to arrive on time before she left. They asked very few but important questions if they needed help and Daisy and Chester grew very fond of them. It was a pleasure to travel with no worries and to come home to happy healthy pets and a very clean and tidy home. Thank you!!

GT

She took great care of Cali!

Audrey

Look no further!!! What a wonderful couple! We started one sit with them after using this sight over 3 years but once they came for the first sit we wanted to keep them! We now have them stay in our extra cottage so they can sit for us continuously wh3n we travel. They have been with the animals ( 4 cats 4 chickens 2 dogs ), My son and I both use them as we both travel alot . He has a house in Croatia so summers he's there and I go back and forth to Italy for months at a time . Matt and Audrey are really such wonderful sitters and really easy going and very likable people. Matt has a background in construction so he's very capable If something comes up while your away he can fix it or deal with it and that's such a bonus in a pet / house sitter . They stay here with us but they still like to do other sits too and do so they are very experienced. They truly love animals and the animals love them too! They take the dogs on long hikes every day they cuddle with the cats and dogs which sleep with them while we are away. They are very responsible and always send photos and keep in good contact. They are really the best sitters we have ever had and we have had others from this sight ( which we're also good) but it was so simple with Matt and Audrey . They really fit right in ! So...abosouly if you get the chance to have them sit for you ...You and your creatures will be very happy . They also have a small, sweet cat named Abby. She she is so adorable and has no issues with any of our animals . They all hang out together and she walks on a leash with the dogs for walks.. it's hilarious! She's very easy going for a cat and has been such a sweet kitty. No issues with travel like most cats and super well trained and house broken . I must give them all the highest rating possible!!!! It so nice to travel especially for months at a time like we do and know your fur baby's are happy and cared for ! 100% steller pet sitters and enjoyable, capable,reliable people! The best!

Thena

Thena was the BEST! Not only did she leave my home nice and tidy, she took excellent care of my sweet boy. She sent me daily pics and videos which I absolutely loved. You are welcome back ANYTIME!!!

Dawn

Highly recommended. Dawn was great. She was able to drop by early to get the lay out of the land. She did an excellent job of communicating with us and caring for our cat. She sent comforting pictures each day. The house was left impeccable. We could not have asked for more.

Ruth

Ruth is kind, thoughtful, reliable and respectful. Oliver and Zoey were very comfortable with her presence in our home. She responded promptly to my text and sent photos. Communication is great. I would fully recommend Ruth for your pet sitting needs. I hope Ruth will come back and stay with my fluffy ones soon.

Terri

Lovely stay in a beautiful house in south of London! Safe and cozy area with great shops and parks nearby. Had a wonderful time with Winston. He loves to get pets and cuddles. And he is playful and very fun to interact with! If you love dogs and esp King Charles spaniel cavalier, he is the absolute sweetest to take care of! This stay will stay with me. Thank you Terri and Winston for a great house sitting! Would recommend!

Maria Rita

Maria is a great host. She was really welcoming, easy to communicate with and gave clear instructions on how to look after her home and Cloud. Her home is lovely, cosy and clean.

Cloud is a very sweet and gentle boy. He is pretty shy at first but comes around quickly. He loves pats and likes to sit close by and watch what you’re up to. He’s very easy to care for. I’d recommend this sit to anyone

Rupert

My partner and I didn’t want to leave! We absolutely loved caring for Ginny and Loki. These to dogs were so well behaved, kind natured, fun and easy to take care of! Zoe and Rupert were both so welcoming and accommodating, ensuring we had everything we needed. 
The house was stunning, special attention to the beautiful kitchen and garden. The beds were extremely comfortable and we just really enjoyed the whole stay. The location of St was perfect too, as it was in the centre of Cornwall so we could explore everywhere.

Lauren

Lauren gave us a thorough walkthrough upon arrival and was readily available throughout our stay. She knows her pets well and heeding her advice will make for a great sit.

Opal and Pearl are great together and it was great meeting them. They were easy to care for. 

Their home was spacious, comfortable and well equipped. Great office space, sunny backyard, and all the streaming things. Thanks Lauren, Opal, and Pearl 🙏🏾
