Dog Sitters in North Highlands, CA

Jenny & Drew

We had agreed to this pet sit months prior to their arrival. It was a 6 week stay. Jenny and Drew arrived less than 12 hours prior to my departure. I picked them up at the airport and took them to lunch at a seaside restaurant. I was so surprised that Jenny had not even read the "home owners manual" that this website provides. I sent the information a good month prior to their arrival. They were not prepared in my opinion or took the house sit very seriously. Nevertheless I had confidence in their abilities after spending time with them. When we arrived at the home I introduced them to my 2 doggies and got them acquainted with the home and area.. Upon my return (6 weeks later) there was missing food in the freezer, missing towels, and some broken items. The dogs seemed very happy and content and Jenny would let me know from time to time that the pets were fine. All in all they were good but I was disappointed in their lack of preparedness and the missing and broken items. I spoke to Jenny prior to writing this review in order to understand what took place while I was away. I was not completely satisfied with her replies. Most importantly my home and dogs were safe and sound. So I'm satisfied.

Selena & Joshua

Selena and Josh were great pet sitters. They asked to FaceTime before traveling here to ask/answer questions and came to my house the day before I left to see everything. They asked good questions that made me feel like they were going to be good caregivers. They gave me daily updates and pictures. I would happily have them sit again!

Sarah

Sarah and Ian were great house and pet sitters. They came a day early to review how to give Mimi, our cat, her insulin shot and how to take care of our plants. They were attentive and respectful of our shy cat. We could tell they are cat people. They left the house sparkling. “We hope they can come again in the future!” says Mimi! 😻

Jennifer

Jennifer was our first pet sitter, and she definitely enabled us to travel worry-free! She was quick to communicate, she left the house clean and organized, and her self-sufficiency came through when she dealt with an unexpected internet outage. More then anything, her affection and focus on the dogs made me glad I signed up for zeewoi. I would definitely reach out to her for another sit!

Jenny

I would give Jenny and Brandon even more stars if I could. This is their second time sitting for me and again, exceptional care! Sam had a lot of fun with them and they were great at taking him places and spending loads of time with him. The house was sparkling clean, sheets washed, and everything was in order. I highly recommend Jenny and Brandon for your next sit!

Claire

Claire was truly amazing with our two pups! We even had some house issues that came up while we were gone and she was BEYOND helpful. I would recommend her to anyone, my dogs loved her and were sad once she was gone.

Catheryn & Andrew

Catheryn was wonderful to have at the house. The dogs had a great time and we came home to a nice tidy house! She was easy to communicate with and flexible when we had some changes in plans. We would recommend her and love to have her again!

Hannah

We are so lucky to have had Hannah as our sitter. She was professional and reliable. Our dogs got sprayed with a skunk the morning we left for our trip and she handled the inconvenience with class and professionalism. My husband and I travel a lot and it’s always stressful wondering if our animals are being well taken care of, but in leaving them with Hannah, I barely thought about them because I felt so comfortable leaving them in her hands. We came home to a tidy house and pets that weren’t even super excited to see us which means they received plenty of love while we were gone. Anyone would be lucky to have Hannah sit for them!

Georgia

The day before Georgia’s sit, my cat, Bean, fell ill. Georgia was very understanding when we communicated how our travel plans may be changing to care for Bean, and was very flexible through all the uncertainty. Hours before Georgia’s expected stay, my partner and I took Bean to the vet and received some good news and some bad news. Part of the good news was that Bean was well enough to only require additional attention and some special wet food through our absence, though oral medication was recommended as needed. Georgia was extremely attentive to Bean, and both confidently and successfully administered oral medication once a day. Georgia put our minds at ease with her thorough updates on Bean. We are so grateful she took such thoughtful care of our sick senior kitty while we were out of town. We are excited to have Georgia to sit for us again 😊

Nicholas

Nick was a great sitter for Cedar and Arya! Would be happy to have him back.

Mitchell & Hanna

Our family and Cookie appreciated Mitchell's care for everything while we were away. We enjoyed the occassional cute pet pic and the house was in good order when we returned. We also appreciated his rescuing some packages delivered while we were gone. Would be happy to have him sit for us again.

Lydia

We cannot recommend Lydia highly enough as a housesitter! She took exceptional care of our two dogs while we were away. Not only did she take them on two walks every day, but she also sent regular updates and pics, which made us feel completely at ease. Her dog, Shadow, was the perfect playmate for our pups, and they had a blast together. On top of that, Lydia kept our house spotless and in perfect order. When we returned, our dogs were sad to see her go—they clearly loved their time with her! We will absolutely trust Lydia again in the future.

Jessica

Sandy and Charles were  amazing sitters. Great to communicate with, loved my cat, kept my place clean, and even left me welcome home gifts when I came home tired from travel. Have used them multiple times because I love them so much. Highly recommend.

Ginger

Taylor did a wonderful job of caring for Bingo and my property. She responded to all my requests and was independent and reliable. My dog loved her! Very thankful she helped us care for our home and dog. Definitely would have her return.

Gay

Leigh was fantastic in every category. She really stepped up in an emergency situation. My trip was cancelled because I broke my ankle in 3 places. Leigh not only still came but even came early to care for my cat while I was in skilled nursing. She sent photos and stories daily and brought things from home when I asked. I enjoyed her visits! I still haven’t been home, but my friend who came after Leigh said the house was immaculate.  I add my positive review to her many others and hope she’ll come back when I resume my travels!!!! Thanks, Leigh.

Emma

Gin and Ger: What a lovely boys! These two kitties kept me company for three weeks and could not have been more personable and fun to be around. They’re both friendly (Ger’s the bigger snuggler) and like to play. They are never late for dinner and they breakfast later in the morning – so no sunrise awakenings.

Emma and Noel have a charming, cozy, spotless home and are great communicators, too. The home location, very close to the south coast and Brighton as well as on the train line to London, is very convenient.

I wouldn’t hesitate to sit for them again and hope I get the chance to do so. These two cats are a joy to be around.

Hollie

Hollie and Jay were the best hosts one can ask for. They gave me a very detailed rundown of all the things needed and super clear and structured instruction so at any point was I left wondering, which made me feel very safe and supported! 
Their hospitality and cordiality was out of this world. 
Minnie and Mavrick did their thing most of my stay, with Maverick being more up for cuddles, Minnie kept it for herself, but did came up to me for some scratches eventually, yay! 
Margo is a bundle of energy, very happy, energetic dog, needs some patience as she is a puppy still, but is very smart and we have definitely became friends. She just needs to get tired physically and mentally to be happy,  great way to keep me fit! 
The fish are very cute and don't need much in return. 
Obviously the house is beautiful and very cozy as well, but I would sit for Hollie and Jay evem if they lived in a tent to be honest.
