Pet Sitters in Redwood Shores, CA

Leslie & David

Leslie was very communicative and obviously an organized, reliable person. We chatted before confirming the sit and I met her and her kids on the first day of it. She and her kids are very calm, smart and I felt totally comfortable having them stay in my home while caring for my cats. She sent texts with pictures of my cats to me in Guatemala each day I was away and it was really nice. She was a better communicator than I was! I highly recommend her and hope our schedules align so that she might sit at my place again someday!

Juliet

Juliet is the dream pet/house sitter!!! We were away for three weeks. We really didn’t know if we could handle being away from Kazoo (our pup) for so long, but the fact that she was in Juliet’s care reassured us throughout our vacation. Juliet is an absolute gem and we feel incredibly fortunate to have had her care so lovingly for both our previous and our current dog. She is gracious, caring, responsible, respectful, tidy, and communicative. She’s the absolute best!!!

Danielle

Danielle was wonderful! I left town for an off-the-grid vacation and she took excellent care of my home and pup. She provided photo & text updates before I left (and as soon as I returned to cell service), which gave me peace of mind while I was out of communication. I'd welcome her back anytime!

Steph & Phil

Once again, Steph and Phil were absolutely AMAZING. So caring, thoughtful, respectful, communicative, clean...They doted on our dog Miss Moxie and cat Honey Ryder and took excellent care of our home. I can't recommend them more highly, thank you Steph and Phil!!!

April Joy

April Joy did an incredible job caring for Rue. Communication was seamless, and Rue was kept well fed and exercised. Would highly recommend for future sits, and would love to have her back in Oakland again to watch Rue.

Yingtong & David

Amanda and David loved our dog like she was their own dog. They sent regular updates and photos of our dog on walks and cuddling on the couch. They took care of our numerous house plants. They left the house incredibly clean, taking the initiative to clean bed linens, etc. We appreciated their dog/house sitting and are so grateful for the care they showed for our dog.

Audrey

Look no further!!! What a wonderful couple! We started one sit with them after using this sight over 3 years but once they came for the first sit we wanted to keep them! We now have them stay in our extra cottage so they can sit for us continuously wh3n we travel. They have been with the animals ( 4 cats 4 chickens 2 dogs ), My son and I both use them as we both travel alot . He has a house in Croatia so summers he's there and I go back and forth to Italy for months at a time . Matt and Audrey are really such wonderful sitters and really easy going and very likable people. Matt has a background in construction so he's very capable If something comes up while your away he can fix it or deal with it and that's such a bonus in a pet / house sitter . They stay here with us but they still like to do other sits too and do so they are very experienced. They truly love animals and the animals love them too! They take the dogs on long hikes every day they cuddle with the cats and dogs which sleep with them while we are away. They are very responsible and always send photos and keep in good contact. They are really the best sitters we have ever had and we have had others from this sight ( which we're also good) but it was so simple with Matt and Audrey . They really fit right in ! So...abosouly if you get the chance to have them sit for you ...You and your creatures will be very happy . They also have a small, sweet cat named Abby. She she is so adorable and has no issues with any of our animals . They all hang out together and she walks on a leash with the dogs for walks.. it's hilarious! She's very easy going for a cat and has been such a sweet kitty. No issues with travel like most cats and super well trained and house broken . I must give them all the highest rating possible!!!! It so nice to travel especially for months at a time like we do and know your fur baby's are happy and cared for ! 100% steller pet sitters and enjoyable, capable,reliable people! The best!

Sara

Sara was incredibly responsible and communicative. She booked the sit far ahead of time and was reliable. She stayed in contact with us for the sit as issues arose - such as needing more cat food, etc. Our neighbors who met her said she was super friendly and nice to be around. She kept the house tidy and was very on top of our cats feeding schedule, which was a little involved as they were on a diet.

deb

Deb did a fantastic job taking care of Luna! She was very attentive to her needs and left our home in pristine condition. We would definitely recommend her!

Lily & Liam

Lily and Liam are phenomenal house sitters and wonderful people. They took incredible care of our dog, Koby, and sent daily pictures and videos of him living his best life. I had no worries whatsoever about Koby during our vacation, I just knew he was in the best hands. We came home to a sparkling clean house and the happiest dog ever. We would have them back any time and highly recommend them!

Hope & Kasen

Hope and Kasen took great care of Charlie and left our place clean. I would recommend them to other pet owners!

Catherine

Catherine was an AMAZING pet and house sitter! She watched my 3 year old labradoodle for a weekend, and my dog seemed so happy when I got home! She also took excellent care of my house and left it spotless! Her communication, reliability, and flexibility were all excellent. I would give her 6 out of 5 stars if I could. Highly recommend Catherine to anyone looking for an amazing pet sitter!!! Will definitely use her again if I can!

Rosey

Roses was very kind during my stay and answered all my questions via text. The house was neat and had everything you might need. You are located really close to some great ski resorts, hiking, and restaurants so it’s a perfect location. Bear and Layla are very energetic so taking them to the dog park was a great way for them to play. It is really close so it was very convenient to get to. Make sure to always keep Bear on a leash since she is very fast and will run after foxes if she gets the chance.  Overall it was a lovely stay and the dogs were great!

Susan

I had a wonderful time in Sue's spacious and very comfortable home looking after adorable Lucy. Sue took the time to show me around the neighbourhood and pointed out all the great places. She and her husband gave me lots of great tips about places to visit. Lucy the cat is a little shy, but she did warm up to me and we had lots of lovely cuddles together. Altogether a fantastic sit! Thank you, looking forward to the next one!

Amy

House sitting for Amy and Kory was a great experience. Parker is one of the sweetest and most intuitive dogs I’ve cared for. He is a gentle communicator and has a few different looks that say so much. We did a morning and evening walk each day, and he was the absolute best: no pulling or barking at all. He’s a team player and joined me every time I checked on the chickens and the garden. The chickens were fun to watch and loved getting treats. Caring for them was a breeze thanks to the awesome system Amy and Kory have set up. As a solo sitter, I had no trouble managing the responsibilities for this family and highly recommend them to future sitters.

Cindy

Mika and Lexi are two lounge loving little ladies who enjoy company, their treats and short walks around the neighborhood. Fortunately, for us sitters, Rancho Murieta is a nice walkable town with all the restaurants, entertainment, grocery and shops within a couple blocks of Cindy's lovely home. I highly recommend sitting for Cindy. :)
