Cat Sitters in National City, CA

Jenn

Jenn did an amazing job taking care of our Luna! She was totally comfortable giving her medicine 3x a day. She sent us nightly updates with photos! She made us feel so comfortable while we were away. We would love to have her back!

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!

Emy

Emy was a fabulous house sitter! We received daily updates of our older pets who had a wonderful time and thrived under her care. She kept in close contact with us and our home was well cared for also. Thanks again Emy!

Sakhi

Wonderful experience my pets loved you and so did we! Thanks for everything we’d have you back anytime. anytime. anytime.

Galen

Galen far exceeded our expectations with our pup! He went above and beyond in his care for our dog. He took him to get groomed and even worked on Cujo’s training and ability to follow commands. We could tell they formed a real bond. He was very responsive, sent updates, and our house was spotless upon our return. A thousand percent would work with again.

Madeleine

Madeline was super responsible and our dog virtually adopted her!

Susana

I was out of the country for 3.5 weeks and Susana took great care of my two cats (and my house and plants) for the duration of my trip, during a crazy heatwave no less. She was communicative and sent regular updates of my kitties getting spoiled. She even left me a little vase of flowers, which was a lovely touch.

Hui Xin

Hui Xin was wonderful with our border collie, Luna. She got up really early to meet us before our early flight and was good at sending daily photos/videos. Thanks very much :-)

Michael

Michael cared for our cat, dog and home for a weekend. He came to our home to meet the pets before our trip and I could tell both pets liked him right away. Michael is a nice guy and I felt comfortable from the first time we spoke with him. He showed up on time for our first meeting, and followed my instructions around the home while we were gone. Thanks Michael!

Gwen

Gwen was great! She went out of her way to make the trip up to our house to meet the pets before we left. It made us feel very comfortable. The pets were well taken care of (a dog and a bunny) and she followed our instructions. The house was organized, neat, and clean when we got home. I definitely recommend Gwen to pet/house sit.

Kathleen

Kathleen was wonderful! She took great care of my dog Winnie, sent pictures everyday, and was very communicative. She went above and beyond taking care of my pet and home. Thank you Kathleen!!!

Courtney

Courtney was a pleasure to have as a dog/house sitter. When I got home, my house was cleaner than when I left it. And Courtney did little things to make my homecoming particularly welcoming. All the plants were happy and well watered. And, most of all, Luke was very happy and obviously well cared for and well loved. The whole experience with Courtney from beginning to end was great. Communication, snapshots of Luke while I was way without even asking for these, and the knowledge that while I was away, everything was fine. It was such a great experience with her, that I have invited Courtney to sit again when I go out of town at the end of the month for a week. I highly recommend Courtney to you.

lesley

Janice was a wonderful sitter.  She was truly loving with my dogs and kept in touch regularly with photos of them on the long walks she took them on.  They loved her!

Nicola

It was wonderful to have Judith back to look after Sparkle and Scampy. Judith travelled with her friend, and the cats were looked after beautifully during our fortnight away. We were kept updated and, as before, felt extremely happy leaving our precious fur-babies in Judith’s care. We returned to two very content cats, a wonderfully clean house and another amazing drawing by Judith (this time of the cats). Many thanks to Judith and her friend, Suzanna, for house sitting. We look forward to welcoming them again another time.
