Cat Sitters in Rescue, CA

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! 😻

Katie

Kati and Franco did a fantastic job caring for my kitties! They also left my home tidy. I received regular updates on my kitties' adventures too.

Jill & Michael

Jill was responsive right from the start. Great communication via email/text. Showed up on time, took great care of my cat, provided daily pics that we had agreed on. My home was as clean or cleaner than when I left it. A good sit.

Noelle & John

We cannot say enough good things about Noelle! She is an amazing person and a super duper competent house & cat sitter. Our two boyz fell deeply in love with Noelle and are moping around the house now that we've returned, pining for Noelle! Noelle took perfect care of the boyz and our home. Her communication was terrific. We will definitely have Noelle back (sooner the better as far as our cats are concerned!). Thank you Noelle!

Carla

She was wonderful! Came before hand to meet the animals, and did a great job with the house and plants too! I would write more if I wasn't so jet lagged, but she gets a massive two thumbs up!

Effie

Effie was great! She was very communicative and flexible. She dealt with some mishaps on our end (we had a leak and we forgot to clean the hot tub before she came) and she handled it very well. She clearly took great care of our dog Lily and she took care of our house as well! She also clearly communicated when she spilled something on our desk (not a big deal) and really appreciated her transparency and being forthright! Would definitely host her again!

Amy

Amy and her family were wonderful! They were so easy-going to communicate with and work with. They kept the house looking great and we had the perfect level of communication while we were gone! Hope to have them back soon!

Lynda

Lynda was great with our aging pup. She asked great questions and took care of him like he was her own. She left the home clean and tidy. I would highly recommend.

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 😊

Alison & Mark

Allison and Mark were wonderful sitters. Since I'm never home to actually observe I depend on three entities to let me know, Bubba, Mellow Yellow and my housekeeper Bobbi who is very protective of home and cats. Everyone really liked Allison and Mark. They sent photos of the cats including a really cute one of Bubba washing his face. They had plenty of time to explore Boise and took advantage of seeing why so many people are moving here. The cats were happy and content when we returned and barely noticed that we had been gone. I hope Allison and Mark will be available to stay her during another trip next year.

Lorraine

Lorraine was a great sitter! She was very responsive, easy going, flexible and reliable. She took great care of Buddy and we returned to a happy dog and a spotless home! We couldn't ask for anything more. Her communication was great and we left with no worries. Buddy was immediately at ease with Lorraine and they quickly bonded. Buddy appreciated all the extra attention, treats and walks. Buddy is still going into her room looking for her two days later so I know he had a great week with Lorraine. I would highly recommend Lorraine and she is welcome back to sit here anytime. Thank You!

Laura

Courteney sat for me recently and I have to say she was one of the best housesitters I have ever had!
Her communication before and during the sit was exceptional and thorough. 
She kept me apprised of what was happening with my cat and with my home. 
She made an online photo album of my cat which I really appreciated!
I had Courteney stay the night before she came, and I was surprised to see that my cat slept with her and not me on the first night of her stay!!! 
In fact, I am pretty sure that my cat is now a bit depressed that Courteney is gone.
The house was immaculate and everything was in top top shape.
If she applies for your sit- grab her!!

Brooke

Charmaine and Nick are a fabulous couple and were terrific house and pet sitters for our 2 cats. Curry & Luna obviously loved them and were quite sad to see them leave! They were great at communicating with us and sending pictures.
We would not hesitate to have them sit for us again and hope that happens one day!
