Dog Sitters in Orinda, CA

Yukari

Yukari and Shanti were fantastic! Yukari sent us pictures of Larry every day and checked in when she had questions about the plants. It was such a relief to know our dog and Plants were being cared for. Shanti was really sweet and she got along with Larry immediately. And when we got home after a long trip, the house was clean, which was soooo nice. We would definitely trust Yukari and Shanti in our home again!

Sydney

Sydney watched Toma and Finn and took care of the house while I was out of the country for a trip. I had so many packages and she brought them in and unpacked them when needed. She also communicated all the important things, tidied and cleaned the house really well, and my cats were relaxed and healthy when I returned! I can tell whether my cats have had good care by how calm they are, and they did great.

Samantha

Samantha took great care or our home and our kitty cat while we were away. She checked in with updates and pictures of our happy cat. We'd definitely recommend her for your future house-sitting needs!

Cindi

Cindi was a wonderful sitter. We came home to a happy pup, a sparkling home and some delicious homemade cauliflower soup! She shared some pics during our trip and asked relevant questions as they arose, but I also found her to be self sufficient. We will definitely be pleased if she can come again.

Daniela

Daniela is an absolute gem! She was super communicative before during and after her stay, and made it so easy for us to leave for two weeks. Plus, Rocky absolutely adored her and her sweet dog Cosmo! She was so attentive to him, picking up all of his little quirks and personality traits very quickly. She even taught him a few new things, and offered some great training advice to us. She knows her stuff, for sure. Not only did she take great care of our dog and our house, but she went above and beyond in many ways. Our dishwasher broke the day before she arrived, and she happily agreed to meet the repair man and help facilitate getting it fixed. She also agreed to take our dog to the vet to get his influenza shot when I realized it was overdue. And she brought in all our mail. When I arrived back home late at night (she had left that morning, as planned), she had clean sheets and towels ready for me, plus a thank you card and small gift waiting on the kitchen table!!! She’s just so thoughtful and considerate. I would not hesitate for even a second to hire her again. I seriously felt like we won the jackpot, finding her! The absolutely ONLY downside is that Rocky really missed his new friends after they left. :-)

Dror

Dror and Monica were fantastic! They were easy to coordinate with and asked great questions to ensure that they knew everything necessary to take care of our dog and home. They played fetch with our dog and spoiled her with way more walks than she normally gets. They sent us updates on how things were going while we were away. We came back to a happy pup, tidy house, and a well maintained garden. We highly recommend them and would love to have them back to sit again in the future.

Andrew

Andrew cared for my home and cat for a little over 4 days. He was communicative, responsible, and overall a pleasure to meet. He took great care of everything, and I came to a happy cat and clean home! 10/10 would recommend.

Patricia & Bob

Patricia did a great job caring for my dog and home!

Alexis

I could not have asked for more in a house sitter. Alexis was attentive, caring, communicative; with a keen eye for detail. My elder cat had just recovered from major surgery and Alexis was a kind and confident caregiver. I was at ease leaving my old boy in her hands. I returned after three weeks to a happy cat and my home just as I left it; clean and welcoming. I would highly recommend Alexis’ service.

Nikkie

Nikkie was fantastic with our pets, plants, and home. She was independent and quickly adapted to the house and our pets’ routines. From the beginning, she kept us well-informed with frequent updates, giving us peace of mind while we were away. We returned to a spotless home, thriving plants, and well-cared-for pets. Our dog, who has anxiety and high energy needs, was particularly well looked after—Nikkie ensured he was properly exercised and that all his needs were met, which is no easy task. We highly recommend her!

Dybe & Amel

Wonderful and very communicative pet sitters!! I felt very comfortable having them watch our little Leo and he seemed very happy and content when we returned home. Would definitely have them back to sit again.

Chelsea & Coley

Chelsea and Coley were excellent house and pet sitters. They were clear communicators both before and during their stay. Our flat was in amazing condition when we returned and our cats (Xavi and Suki) were happy and relaxed and very obviously well looked after. I hope they enjoyed their stay in our home. Thank you for looking after our home so well - please come stay again! :)

Michael

The wonderful team of Morgan and Ron Price did another superlative job of house sitting for us and looking after our two border collies from June 18 until July 4, 2022. They have been our housesitters twice before and we are always so impressed with their dedication, kindness, energy and great competency. They always do a great job but this time was special because the weather, while we were away, was cold and wet with a couple of record- breaking windstorms. But through it all, they looked after our two border collies with love and affection, meticulously walking them often (4 or 5 times a day) and providing a weekly medication for one and long additional walks in the bigger parks for the other younger one. Morgan kept us up to date on everything In the house and sent us great photos regularly so we could see how the dogs were doing. Our neighbours had high praise for Morgan and Ron, saying how charming and friendly they were and how well they looked after our two dogs.
Morgan kept an excellent tally of the phone calls and helped confirm appointments for us on our return. She informed us regularly about the news in the neighbourhood and attended the neighbourhood Summer Solstice party where she won a lot of new friends. Everyone in the neighbourhood had high praise for Morgan and Ron.
They looked after our house extremely well. Everything was sparkling clean and in perfect working order when we returned. Morgan had even washed the dog bed mats. I know our dogs were very sad to see Morgan and Ron go.

Deborah

Ruth and Fred are the perfect house/pet sitters. They were comfortable to be with and the dogs took an instant liking to them! Upon my return home, the dogs were calm, not stressed at all about my absence, and clearly had been well-taken care of with love, lots of walks, and food. Bonus - Ruth and Fred put everything back the way they found it - beds made, clean kitchen, etc. And a bouquet of flowers on the table. I can't wait to have these two back in our home. They bring a five-star service to zeewoi.

LORI

Jess was exceptional!  She rearranged her schedule so that she could be here early enough for us to make our destination.  That was very gracious of her as she was driving overnight from Oklahoma to North Carolina.  The house was immaculate when we returned.  It was obvious that the dogs were happy as could be.  Jess was here visiting family, and she asked my permission to take the dogs with her to her family's house.  She sent photos and it was obvious that the dogs were in heaven.  She was wonderful!!
