Cat Sitters in San Jose, CA

MARY

Mary and her husband Brian took wonderful care of Mackay. He had fellow dog activity. He got beach time. Communications and reach ability were great. My house was SPOTLESS when I returned. I would happily book Mary to dog and house sit again.

Marilou

Marilou stepped up and agreed to housesit after another zeewoi bailed on me a few days before I was set to leave town. She couldn't have been a better housesitter. She took excellent care of my dogs and it was obvious when I came home that they were very relaxed and unphased by my one-week departure. I'm sure she left the house in better shape than she found it. And she was extremely timely with communications. I can recommend Marilou without any hesitation.

Justine

Justine is the best! we wholeheartedly trust her with Nico and Tony and know she always cares for them and the house. Happy to have her back soon!

Lilian

Another great sit with Lily! She kept me up to date about how Luna was doing and got her out for some fun activities. Very happy to have her sit again :)

Kristen

I will first start by saying Kristen is so stylish. She arrived in such a cute outfit. I had to let everyone know lol. She is my fourth sitter and quite possibly the best sitter. I would like to acknowledge her patience when a maintenance issue happened. I had a lot of anxiety knowing she was dealing with it while I was away in the USA. Thank you so much for being understanding. Kristen has great energy. She left me a cute little note on my whiteboard when I arrived home and even bought me a cute Mexico key chain. My pets were well taken care of. I would pick Kristen to sit my pets again for sure.

Alayna

Alayna took incredible care of my doggie. She took him to the beach every day (sometimes multiple times, to his extreme delight!) and was very communicative and easy to work with. My travels home were delayed and she was flexible which was so so helpful. Upon returning, my home was clean and my plants were happy! I highly recommend Alayna if you’re in need of a sitter!

Jamie

Jamie was the perfect cat, house and plant sitter. We couldn’t recommend her enough. A lovely person and a pleasure to meet. She kept in touch whilst we were away and sent us great photos and updates of how Hattie and Aggie were getting on. Most importantly Jamie left our cats very laid back and obviously content, but also the house was perfectly clean and we came home to a thank you card and present and meal left ready for us in fridge. What more could you ask for. Thank you very much Jamie for all your care!

Jean

Jean was wonderful. She took great care of Annabelle as well as my house. She send me daily updates with pictures and videos. I could tell that Jean was taking very took care of everything while I was away. Annabelle seemed very calm and relaxed when she was with Jean. This was the first time that I have left Annabelle since I got her which was scary for me but when i saw how Annabelle responded to Jean I knew she was in good hands. I didn’t have any regrets about leaving Annabelle with Jean at all. I came home to a happy cat and a clean house. I couldn’t imagine having a better asked person than Jean to stay with Annabelle. I would recommend Jean to everyone and will ask her to stay with Annabelle again if she is available.

David

Not only was communication with David easy, he was genuinely curious about our place and the local community. He shared updates even though I didn't request it. Our animals had a great time with David and he kept our home in great shape! Big recommend.

Fay

Fay was a great fit for our family & our pets! She was proactive and a very clear communicator. She asked questions and was forthcoming with information and took great care of our home & animals while we were overseas. The animals were well behaved when we returned & we could tell that she spent a lot of caring time with them while we were away. The house was clean and in good condition and we were grateful to have her stay!

Lin & Jovi

Don’t hesitate to offer your sit to Lin and Jovi! Mine was there first sit and they knocked it out of the park. They were thorough in our initial call, and provided excellent care for my dogs and home. They were communicative and provided many photos which we loved. They even got our dogs a goodbye gift. They left our house very clean and our dogs in great shape. We hope they will sit for us again!

Elucia & Kevin

Elucia and Kevin were amazing! They went above and beyond of what I expected. They cleaned my apartment which I did not expect. They sent photos which I really appreciated but did not expect. I would love to have them back again!

Estela

My cat and I were so happy to have Laura as catsitter! She was very responsible, followed all the instructions, sent me pictures and videos every day as I asked to have a daily update, and I found the house super clean when I came back. I was able to travel for 3 weeks with ease and peace of mind knowing that she would really take care of my cat. I really recommend her as catsitter!

Lorna

Sara and Hazel were such sweet girls. They looked after our little elderly cat and our home perfectly. 
They came a day before we left which meant we could get to meet one another and they could get familiarised with our little cat and the house before we left them to it. 
Our cat took to them immediately and obviously missed them when they left as she slept on their bed for 2 nights when we returned! They kept in touch and were confident in asking any questions while we were away and were willing to carry out and any requests we had. 
I would highly recommend them both and would hope they were available in the future.
