Cat Sitters in San Diego, CA

Eric

I wish I could leave Eric 100 stars! Ivy is a sweet girl but I always warn sitters about an aggressive behavior she has towards a particular dog in the neighborhood (the feeling is mutual between the dogs). Three years on this platform, and there has been no incident - I am so grateful that when the behavior did occur, Eric was there to save the day. He handled Ivy with calmness and care - clearly he has a long history with all types of dogs as he was unfazed and able to settle her. My neighbors loved him too. Can't say enough about him.

Daniel

Daniel was great! He was communicative and self sufficient. The cats seemed very happy and comfortable. The house was very tidy when I arrived back!

Celena

We LOVE when Celena is able to come stay at our house and watch our girls. She is amazing!! She is always sending pictures and updates and give our dogs lots of love. She is also very tidy and responsible and leaves the house in great shape!

Amy

LOVE AMY! She is super sweet and very organized! She had great communication and left my house super clean and even left me a few little knick-knacks! She sent me pictures of my kitties and updated me with everything anytime I had questions! Super trustworthy and definitely hope to have her as my pet sitter again in the future! Cannot rave about her enough.

Jennifer

Jennifer was a dream. When we introduced her to our fragile elderly kitty she basically melted which showed me our pets would be in very loving hands. Jennifer was not only sweet and kind to interact with, but also was totally self sufficient which I was so grateful for since we were out of service (she could have but didn't end up reaching out to our back up contact). She left our home very tidy and even threw the sheets in the wash for us on her way out. Thank you Jennifer and we hope you enjoyed your stay at our place!

Lauren

Lauren was great! She took care of my labrador retriever and chickens for a week when I was away for a work trip. It's nice knowing there is someone who loves my pets and knows how to take care of them, and is also watching after the house!

Galen

Galen far exceeded our expectations with our pup! He went above and beyond in his care for our dog. He took him to get groomed and even worked on Cujo’s training and ability to follow commands. We could tell they formed a real bond. He was very responsive, sent updates, and our house was spotless upon our return. A thousand percent would work with again.

Alison

Allison was fabulous! I hope she can stay with my two pups again soon. Thanks, Allison!

Nikolas

Nik is a very personable young man and left our home clean and tidy with clean sheets, washed dishes, etc. He lives in town, so I think the companionship I had requested for Cali was lacking due to his work and social obligations. If you have a pet that needs to be properly fed and maybe walked a couple times a day, but doesn’t need much socialization, he’d be a great option for you. We just needed more companionship for Cali during our time away.

Mia

MIa is now my go-to petsitter! She adores my cats (I think they love her more than me!) She leaves my house immaculate and I know I can trust her. Besides, she's just delightful!

Heather

Heather & Tracy were awesome pet & house sitters! Super reliable, communication was great, our house was just how we left it and our dogs were very happy when we got home - obviously well taken cared for ♡. We would 100% recommend them and would love to have them pet/house sit again for us in the future!

Rania & Mohammed

Rania, Mohammed, and their adorable daughter Yara watched my 2 kittos for about 5 days. They were an absolute joy to work with - from the moment we interviewed through coming home from my trip. They were so easy to talk to, amenable to my needs with the house, cats and garden, so communicative, and left my house immaculate. Kitties and garden were in great shape when I returned. I would love to have them again!

Tracey

It was lovely to see Trevor and Meena again. We know our boys and our house are in safe hands.

The boys were well looked after, Meena even made Cooper a birthday cake.

They kept us up to date on how things were going and left the house immaculate.

Couldn’t recommend them any more.

Janet

Catherine and Jim were everything a host could ask for. Communication was the exact amount, not too much but enough for me to know Jerry was getting the attention he loves. One of them had had sprinters before so they were familiar with the breed and knew just how to handle his quirks, which I relayed to them. House was very clean when I returned, which is so appreciated. This couple is truly a delight and I hope I’m lucky enough to cross paths with them again. Highly recommend!
