Pet Sitters in Mill Valley, CA

Lisa

My cat Ruska seemed content when I was back home, an indication that Lisa took good care of her! I put 4* for reliability due to one communication issue. She expressed some concerns about living with my cat only after she bought her plane tickets. I think those concerns should have been brought up during our interview conversation, since it could have hindered the ability of looking after my cat. She was able to reassure me at the end and all went well afterall. Lisa also sent regular pictures of Ruska which was much appreciated :)

Melissa & Monte

We thoroughly enjoyed meeting Melissa - Ruby took to her immediately and became her shadow for the rest of the weekend, I think she's still missing her! Melissa was so easy to have in the house, it felt like an old friend coming to stay, we felt very comfortable leaving her in charge when we went away. Ruby was beautifully looked after, we couldn't ask for more and hope that Melissa will come back another time!

Alexandra & Drake

We have had Alexandra and Drake take fantastic care of our dog a number of times and will gladly have them back as much as they are willing! Their care for our dog goes above and beyond and is everything we could hope for in a sitter. The amount of love, attention, exercise, and play they provide our pup on a daily basis leaves us reassured that she is in great hands and that we will be coming home to a very happy pup. Our dog can be difficult at times on walks and Alexandra and Drake handle those quirks with such care and expertise. They know how to work with our dog to inspire confidence and make sure that she has great and safe experiences. I know that she thrives with them and is always so happy to have them back for more adventures! An added plus is that they always leave our house cleaner than they found it!

Anna & Alan

Anna, Alan and their lovely kids treated Rory like she was their own, with cuddles at night, lots of outings during the day, and treatos while the family made dinner. They were also super flexible on our start and end days / times, and kept us frequently updated with all the cute pics we wanted. Would have them back in a heartbeat!

Katie & Doug

Katie is friendly, personable and loving towards animals. Our Riley enjoyed runnng with her, scampering in the dog park and cuddling after much play. I would recommend her highly. No reservations.

Molly

Molly did a wonderful job with our pets and house. We had a last minute need for a housesitter and she was willing to fill the need. She was responsive after applying, made a firm arrival time and informed us of her progress along the way. Molly implemented all of the thing we asked regarding the house and pets, and she left the house very clean and nice. Our cats we happy and healthy upon our return, and we thank Molly for a job well done!

Paige

Paige was an absolute delight to have house and pet sit our dog and lizard for 10 days. She was very considerate, clean, and reliable. I felt really comfortable having her in my home and taking care of my pets. She is a great communicator and left the house spotless. I hope to have her house sit again one day and highly recommend her to everyone!

Thomas & Lindsay

Thomas and Lindsay were terrific pet sitters! They arrived on time and made themselves available for an in person tour of the farm before our departure. They took good care of all our animals, large and small; giving them lots of attention while we were away. They were considerate and clean with our home, cleaning up after the animals (even spot cleaning a carpet mess), cleaning after cooking, and properly disposing of recycling and trash. We appreciated getting daily updates from Thomas and pictures showing that everything was running smoothly. We’d certainly welcome them back if they ever needed a Santa Cruz stay!

Adam

Adam and Mirabelle were wonderful. Took care of our house and pets for 5 weeks and did a fabulous job. Very responsible and thoughtful in their stay and left the house looking wonderful for us to return to. Thank you!

Tracey

Tracey did above and beyond her duties and took excellent care of the house the dog and the horses! I was over the moon with her! I hope she comes back soon

Graham

Graham was an amazing sitter for Steeno. Spoiled him with walks and our house looked just as we left it upon coming back. Kept us up to date with photos and updates of the pup.Highly recommend him to anyone looking for a sitter on zeewoi!!

Abby

Abby is truly wonderful. You and your pet will not be disappointed. She is so kind and organized and communicative. I can not say enough about how much we loved having her care for our pup. Our dog Chevy was obviously so well cared for. I could tell he was missing her when I returned. I love a clean house and Chevy sheds a lot. When I came home, my house was spotless. It was sparkling clean. Abby is also a really wonderful person. I can not say enough about how much we loved having her sit for us and highly recommend her!

Alison

We had such an enjoyable sit looking after adorable Ruby and Midge who were both so well behaved and easy to walk off leash when away from the roads. The cats were easy to care for and happy for daily cuddles in the sun-room. Alison is such a lovely friendly host and we enjoyed getting to know her and Tony at the handover the evening before they left - it was so easy to feel at home with them. Everything was so well organized, with perfect handover notes that meant we could house sit with ease knowing everything had been covered. The farmhouse is warm and cozy and we enjoyed experimenting more with AGA cooking. This was only a short sit so we really only walked around the local area, but we'd absolutely love to return another time!  Thank you both!

Daniela

J'ai adoré mon séjour à Sainte-Lucie. Maiko est adorable. C'est un chien très attachant, intelligent, sociable et calme. Tant qu'il a de la compagnie, il est heureux :-) L'endroit est magnifique, sur le bord d'une rivière et tout près de Val-David. J'ai passé un très beau mois dans la nature, merci!!!
I loved my stay in Sainte-Lucie. Maiko is adorable. He is a very endearing dog, intelligent, sociable and calm. As long as he has company, he is happy :-) The place is beautiful, on the edge of a river and very close to Val-David. I spent a very nice month in the nature, thank you!

Jesse

Such a pleasure to take care of Oriana and Jesse's beautiful house and sweet cats. I was there only for two nights but it was really lovely. The house was spotless and so comfortable, great location and the cats were super friendly and cuddly. Indy and Otto are both a little suspicious at first but once they trust you (hence, you give food), they become your best friends. I hope I'll get to take care of them again, hopefully for longer! Communication with Oriana was great and she was such an attentive host - even left out coffee and gifted me a gorgeous mug! Thank you so much!! :)
