Pet Sitters in Riccas Corner, CA

Kathy & Brett

Kathy & Brett were fabulous! They were great pet and house sitters as well as being great people. They arrived at our home the day before our departure to meet us and our animals and go over the chores. We enjoyed having dinner with them too. They sent text messages and pictures of our pets while we were gone - not too many - just right. We came home to happy animals and a very clean house! They even washed the used sheets and started the dishwasher. We enjoyed getting to know them a bit and we would love for them to housesit again in the future.

Caroline & Shawn

Caroline & Shaun were awesome! Minnie was so well taken care of. They sent regular updates of their adventures via messages and pics. My home was spotless upon returning which was very much appreciated, especially after a very long day of traveling. Caroline & Shaun are welcome back anytime.

Elizabeth

This is our 3rd time having Beth sit for us and she was amazing as always. The house was perfect when we got home, and the kitties were very well cared for. She sent regular updates and really enjoyed spending time with our kitties. She spends so much time grooming and playing with them. I think they are disappointed when we return home! We are so lucky to have Beth sit for us!!!

Noelle

Noelle was a wonderful caretaker for our home and dog! She was communicative, responsive, and made sure our dog got lots of love and plenty of activity. We came back to a spotless place and I would absolutely have her stay again.

Brooke

Brooke was a very responsible sitter. She bonded with our 2 cats and took great care of them. The house was left clean and tidy and she followed all instructions. I highly recommend Brooke and look forward to using her on another sit.

Tiffany

Tiffany took great care of our dog Jackson. She sent pictures and updates daily. Jackson was very happy when we returned home !

Richard

Richard was an awesome host. Our plans changed a few times and he was super flexible and understanding. He send pictures of adventures with Lady and gave great updates while we were away. Would definitely recommend!

Claire

Claire and Hannah were just fab. They were great with booking their flights once we’d had a chat about dates etc. Claire arrived first and immediately fell in love with all of our animals. She was so caring with them and they fell in love with her. She was bombarded with information as soon as she arrived after a transatlantic flight and took it all in her stride. Nothing was a problem or too much bother. We were sent photos when we were away. When we got home the dogs, cats and house had clearly been very well cared for. They are truly lovely, engaging young women and we would highly recommend them. Your animals will thank you for asking them to come!

Deborah

Deborah was an excellent sitter and incredibly flexible and responsible.

Brook

Brook was responsible and conscientious. She took care of our house and front and back gardens for almost 6 weeks that included two weeks of 100 degree plus heat (very challenging to keep our large pollinator gardens alive in that heat, which she did), and did a very good job of doing extra watering of the gardens when they needed it. She sent us photos of various plants in the garden when she had questions or wanted to update us as to how the gardens were doing. The house was clean and in good condition when we got home. She told us in advance that she would be gone for a couple of days when she had other plans, which was not a problem. She coordinated well with our landscaper who was monitoring our irrigation system, and beekeeper friends of ours who came by to check on our beehives (we have no pets). Brook was a very good communicator before, during, and after her stay here. For example, she notified us when she spotted a deer in our back yard eating the kale in our garden, which we appreciated, because we were able to ask our landscaper to put up a deer fence while we were gone.

Elaine

Elaine was a wonderful warm person who Paddy took to immediately. We had time together before and after the sit and exchanged a lot of knowledge of each other’s country. I came home to a clean and warm home with contented animals and the kettle on. Any pet would be very lucky to have Elaine look after them

charlie

Charlie was a great sitter and charming to interact with. She lives nearby so was able to come visit ahead of the sit to go over things. She left my house looking great, and my cat was calm and happy on my return. I was out of town for most of the duration of the sit, and I felt very comfortable leaving my place in her care.

Bruce

Patti and Bruce are warm, generous, healthy, and happy people. You will feel lucky to have met them. They left me chocolate, wine, and a spotless house, which made staying tidy easy. Their garden produced heirloom tomatoes, berries, grapes, and cucumbers (delightful!). 

Daily geese and osprey visited the river behind their home, and their property had turkey and deer as residents. They have created a natural paradise. 

Their animals, Linus, Luna, and Chick-chick, are the perfect playful company. They are loved animals. I have never met a chicken who enjoys humans as much as chick-chick: she will come to the front door and squawk to greet you. 

Patti and Bruce’s home is close to town (12 minutes away) yet strikes the perfect harmony of peaceful living.

Carolyn

Sitting for Carolyn and Bobby is a fantastic experience!  Caring for their sweet lab, Maggie, was an absolute pleasure as she is such a love, super smart and a fun character to hang out with on neighborhood walks, strolling the beach or just relaxing in their lovely, peaceful home.  She is a wonderful dog and friend.  
Carolyn is very prepared with clear, thorough written instructions and responsive to questions.  We really appreciated, and found it helpful, that they planned the day prior to departure for us all to become acquainted, comfortable with Maggie and she with us, and graciously opened their home to us for the week.  We instantly felt welcome and genuinely felt like old friends getting back together.  Hilton Head is abundant with activities including several great beach options, golfing, tennis, restaurants and more within a very short drive or ride (bikes included).  Their house is well-appointed with a very comfortable bed, living space/furnishings, BBQ grill on a deck with amazing sunset, water way views and only a handful of steps from a large swimming pool.  The neighborhood is very quiet, surrounded by nature but still centrally located on the island.  We met many of Carolyn's neighbors while walking Maggie and they are delightful, friendly and helpful people.  Our experience tops our list and we highly recommend, hope to return someday soon!
