Pet Sitters in Sanitarium, CA

Carolyn

Carolyn, did a great job with 3 dogs and even found someone to help her walk them everyday. She let me know they were walked everyday. I really appreciate her taking good care of my dogs while I was gone.

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.

Diana & Simon

Adding to Diana & Simon's already-glowing pile of reviews! Diana & Simon took such great care of our two little pups! They went on tons of walks, were served up lots of treats, and loved up on like crazy :) As requested, they sent us regular updates and left our home just as if we had never left. We would recommend Diana & Simon to pet sit any time!

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.

Teri

Teri and Michael were amazing sitters!! Very sweet, easy to communicate with, very caring with the pets and they took excellent care of our house (plants, garden, cleaning…). We highly recommend them and would love to have them again for our next trip.

Andrea

Angela was A delightful lady. She took very good care of our very energetic nine month old mini bernedoodle pup. We Are giving her 5 stars across-the-board. We would definitely have her again.

Rebecca

Daniel took incredible care of our cat while we were out of the country for a week. We didn’t have any cell service or wifi but I never worried about my kitty because Daniel left such a good impression I knew he was in great hands. Came back to a clean home and a happy cat. Daniel was also very kind and communicative through the whole process.

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!!!

Philip

Philip and his delightful family took care of my cats, house and landscaping for 9 days. He was very proactive about calling when he said he would and initiating our walkthrough before my trip. He asked lots of detailed questions and was very responsible.

Jessica

Jessica was a dream of a sitter! She took excellent care of our dear animals, and she kept in touch with us on how everyone was doing complete with photos. The cats were fed, Salem got his medicine once a day, and Brynn got lots of walks in the neighborhood. If Jessica had a question, she asked us right away. Jessica left the house clean and tidy, and she even laundered her sheets - that was a treat. We highly recommend Jessica as she is kind, friendly, open, courteous, and wonderful with animals and people, too! Thank you, Jessica! We would welcome having you back any time.

mary

Thanks to zeewoi we were so fortunate to meet and get to know Mary and Johnny. They are absolutely wonderful people, very friendly. We enjoyed meeting them very much. They love animals and took great care of our 2 dogs and a kitty while we were gone. We have one senior dog who has mobility issues and needed medication. Mary and Jonny gave him extra love and care. We throughly enjoyed our trip because we knew our house and pets are in good hands. Communication was great through the entire trip with regular updates and cute pets pictures. House was super clean and pets were happy on our returns. We are so lucky Mary and Johnny are relatively local to us and we hope to have them back for our next trip.

Veronica

Veronica did a great job on a two week sit for me. Responsible, clean, self-sufficient, good with the pets. She was also very flexible when I came back home for one night mid trip. I would definitely ask her to sit again.

Maritza

Elyse was a great sitter! She communicated with us frequently and left the place spotless!

Tessa

This was my first sit with THS and I am so very pleased!! From the beginning, Tessa was a wonderful communicator.  We had a video chat and I felt very comfortable.  Her welcome guide was outstanding and we talked about all of the aspects of the stay.  Her cats were exactly how she described.  Sweet and wonderful.  They were just bundles of love.  I had to give Hawkeye medicine twice a day and he was so great about it !  He didn’t bite or do anything to stop me.  I run a pet sitting business and I have my own cat, and I have never seen a sweeter cat than Hawkeye.  The stay was in a small apartment on a horse farm.  It was so wonderful and peaceful.  I loved it.  It was about a 45 minute, very easy drive to Annapolis and other great locations.  If you want the best of both worlds, quiet and activities, this is a great sit.

Katherine

We had a great time sitting for Katherine and Ian. Their home is very comfortable, they left clear instructions, and they let us stay the nights before and after the sit as they were leaving earlly/getting home late. Remi is a well behaved dog and a sweetheart!

Tess

Beautiful home, Yoshi was anxious at first but then warmed up to me. The bunnies are so cute and I really enjoyed sitting for Tess!

Annika

Annika and Greg were wonderful people to sit for. I had a video call with them and they showed me all of the details of the sit prior to my arrival. Annika left very clear and detailed instructions for my daughters and I in the welcome guide as well as in the home. Tonka and Lula are so sweet and just want love and affection. Chubby and Ornament (guinea pigs) were fun to watch and easy to care for. Their chickens have a routine and know their bedtime. My daughters and I enjoyed our stay in their lovely home and it felt like a mini vacation with their beautiful pool and yard.

Gregg

Gregg's hosting opportunity is excellent, a cozy studio with a friendly cat named Momo! 
The piano is wonderful to play and Arcata is a cool little hippie town to explore. 
Gregg is great at communication and Humboldt county is a wonderful place to explore beaches and redwoods.

Johanna

We had a terrific time housesitting for Johanna.

Monkey and Blue are two of the sweetest and most adorable kittens you could ever meet! They are cuddly and funny, and it is impossible not to love them from the first moment you see them. Taking care of them was easy and straightforward, and they certainly brightened our days and brought us lots of joy.

We liked the area as well: it is very lively and diverse, there are a lot of cafes, restaurants and grocery stores within walking distance. There is also a nice park just a few minutes away, and it is very easy to get to Tech City.

Communication with Johanna was easy and efficient. We were able to get answers to all of our questions very quickly and Johanna was always super responsive and helpful.

Totally recommend this sit, would love to sit again!
