Cat Sitters in Pleasant Hill, CA

Tori

Our cats were happy and relaxed as we came back. The house was tidy. We received updates with pics. Tori was wonderful and we would totally have her back in our house and trust her with our little ones. Thanks!

Laura

Laura was great! Good communication from start to finish and flexible in scheduling arrivals and departures. She took good care of my boys and left my house spotless. Definitely five stars!

Kristy

The most important attribute is how well a sitter cares for my dog. Kristy took great care of Lily. She was happy, clean, content and I don't think she missed me. That is good!. Lily is a senior dog and Kristy was in tune to her ups and downs (she can be very lazy and also quite chipper at different times). She communicated well with updates while I was away and I'd welcome her back any time. I needed to do some cleaning of the floors and surfaces but different sitters have different cleaning standards and I am ok with that.

Dejan

This couple did an excellent job of watching my house, my plants, and my dog Scooter. They were excellent communicators, which made the sit stress free on both sides. When I returned, my house was tidy, my plants were thriving, and my dog was happy. You really couldn’t ask for more. I would highly recommend them to any perspective pet parent.

Samantha

Samantha and I did a video call which I really appreciated before the sit. She was very responsible, eager to help out and did such a fantastic job with my cat. I highly recommend her.

Wendi

Wendi did a great job! She stayed in my apartment for a week watching my cat, Lady. She made the whole process incredibly easy and stress-free. She was quick to coordinate a FaceTime chat, and followed up with me closer to the time of her stay. Once she arrived in New York, she coordinated with me to exchange keys and then took great care of my apartment and my cat. She sent me daily pictures and was super clean. I would love to have Wendi sit for me again and I recommend her to anyone interested in someone fun, warm, and responsible to care for your pet!

Opal

Opal looked after my dog Pico and my home while I was traveling. I returned home to a happy dog and a clean apartment, she even had some fresh flowers waiting on the counter for me! Opal was very communicative and self sufficient when I was away, I felt comfortable knowing my dog was in good hands and was able to relax and enjoy my time. She sent me pictures and made sure Pico was taken care of before she left, she even did all the laundry and had clearly cleaned up. I wouldn’t hesitate to have her back anytime :)

Niviece

We love working with Niviece. This is our second time. She provides wonderful updates and leaves our place in a very tidy and neat condition. Hilo is happy getting to go on hikes out and about

keyani

Keyani was reliable, trustworthy, and loving with our home and our pets! She came to the house to meet everyone before we left for our trip, and was great at introducing herself to our somewhat anxious dog. She asked really good questions at the first meeting and when during our trip. We came home to happy pets and a clean house. I really liked Keyani and would be happy to have her sit for us another time!

Kiri

Kiri was a fabulous pet sitter! She was super responsive and so gentle with our cat. We received photos and updates on Buster while we were gone. I would highly recommend her for any pet sitting opportunity.

Ivan

Ivan was really sweet and patient with Ella. He clearly loves animals. He sent me regular updates and photos during the stay. He was very reliable and flexible, giving Ella some medication when she needed it. My plants also looked great, and he kindly repotted a cactus that Ella knocked over. I can confidently recommend Ivan for your sit.

Era

Era and her partner, Joe, were fabulous house sitters. They were personable and attentive when shown what was needed during the handoff. I was not contactable during my backcountry trip, so they had to be self-sufficient and they handled everything well. They washed linen and towels before they left and the house was clean and well kept. Most importantly, my fur kids were well cared for and happy. Era and Joe are welcome back anytime.

Michael

Viky and Dodi were awesome! They helped us out with our pup Nakita on very short notice. They took great care of her and sent us photos and updates throughout their stay while they bonded with her and took her on walks and adventures. They also left our place just as clean, if not cleaner than they found it, including freshly washed sheets and towels and a full tank of gas! We would definitely recommend them and use them again in the future.

Michael

James and Jenny were amazing!  It was easy communication before, during and even after the sit.  They were kind enough to come and meet the boys before the sit even started just to ease the transition when it did begin.   We received daily updates and even videos of the fun they were having!
The apartment was perfect when we returned.  
We’d welcome James and Jenny back again without hesitation.
