Cat Sitters in Saint Helena, CA

Gwen

Gwen was a wonderful house and cat sitter during our extended summer trip. Our elderly cats require quite a bit of medication and attention and we returned home to happy kitties. Can't recommend her enough!

Victoria

Victoria stayed at our house for almost 3 weeks while we travelled in Europe. She came a day early to meet the kitty and make sure she had all the info she needed. In addition to pet sitting, I asked her to water my indoor and outdoor plants. My garden looked great and the house was spotless when we arrived home. I got regular texts and messages complete with pictures and even got a couple of videos. My kitty was happy, healthy and was obviously well cared for. I would not hesitate to have Victoria as a zeewoi again.

Julian & Susan

Julian and Susan were amazing, we came home to happy healthy creatures and a clean, tidy home and yard. They communicated with us during our vacation, both about anything unusual and just to let us know when things were going well (as they were the majority of the time). They are very adaptable and capable people, I highly recommend them for your home and pet needs.

Joe

I was pleased with Joe. He was a good communicator and took good care of my kitty and my house. All was good when I returned home. I would recommend Joe.

Tim

Tim and his family were excellent houseguests! They spent the holiday with Kod and took great care of him. It was easy to make plans. 5 stars.

Susan & Synde

Susan was a true delight. She’s get’s very engaged with the kitties as if they were her own. I got to hear all the fun stories of their adventures together. Susan was extremely neat and the house was as clean as when I left for my trip. I will most definitely hire Susan and Synde back‼️

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.

Andrea

Andie arrived on time and was a cheerful and deflightful pet sitter. She was only here for 1 overnight. Tuxedo took to her right away. She took him for a long walk morning and evening and playtimes during the day. She was neat and tidy...we would definitely have her again! away.

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

Jan

Jan is amazing! We planned our trip quite far in advance and Jan confirmed with us and kept us informed of her travel plans. She came a day early to meet our pup, Poppy, and so we could walk her through the house and get to know her a bit. She was such a pleasure to meet and it was very apparent that she loves animals. Poppy absolutely loved her, and we loved all the updates Jan sent us! Plus photos! Jan left our house in immaculate condition and even washed and folded the sheets! She left us a thank you note and some treats. If you want the best of the best for your pet and home, the best is definitely Jan!

Rhonda

Rhonda was such a pleasure to work with! This was her second stay with our fur babies and we could not ask for me! Toby and Oliver were loved and cared for. The house was impeccable when we arrived home. Rhonda is a wonderful communicator and she sent regular updates and pictures. It was lovely to feel so confident that Toby and Oliver were in such good hands while we were away. We would have her back many times over in the future. Thanks so much Rhonda!

Kelsey

Kelsey was a gem! She kept wonderful care of our house and pets for weeks, even sent us pictures of the pets to assure us they were doing well.

Helen

David and Fiona where excellent pet sitters 
Pre arrival :
They communicated well prior to the sit 
We had to change our dates due to personal circumstances and they where super flexible about dates and times
They had their own transport which is a big help as they where very self sufficient 
On  arrival:
David and Fiona where very friendly and relaxed 
They made notes of our pet and home requirements 
They even took us to the airport for our journey to the uk 
During sit :
They gave us constant updates about our pets and home 
They took in parcels for us and bulky gym equipment 
During the sit out cat Ginger was unfortunately shot by a pellet gun and could have died 
But David’s quick thinking saved him by rushing him to the nearest veterinary hospital where he received life saving care 
On our return :
Our villa was spotless and we had a lovely meal prepared for us left in the fridge 
After a long day we really appreciated it 
Thanks so much David and Fiona for looking after our home and fur babies so well
We would not hesitate to use you again xx

Andrea and Eric

Karen came with her long time friend Robin. We were very lucky to have them sit for us. They bonded easily with our two dogs which is not always easy to do as both are rescue animals and one is very anxious and the other does not like strangers initially. The house was cared for very well. It was clean, wash was done, beds made and plants were loved. They contacted us appropriately if there was a house issue or a question. We received photos and communications from them as often as we wanted. We would love to have either one or both sit for us again in the future. It was a pleasure getting to know them.
