Pet Sitters in Santa Maria, TX

Heather

I could not have had a better first time experience with Zeewoi than I did with Heather! From the first messages, to offering to come by a month before the sit to meet the pups, and then the instant she entered my home and began caring for the boys- it was perfect. Heather was kind and communicative, thorough in her attention to detail, and just a gem of a human. She paid close attention to the differences of my two Bostons’ personalities and really catered her approach to their needs (which I loved) and she treated my home as if it was hers. My furbabies were happy, content, well-loved and walked when I got home- that was all I really cared about- but additionally, Heather also made sure to leave my home as if she had never been here. I would give Heather 20/10 stars! Most importantly, I would welcome Heather back to care for my dogs 10x over if she wanted to 🥲 Thank you!

Lori

Lori was great with our dogs who had a hard time over a holiday week of fireworks and loud noises! Felt very comfortable with her care, she checked in when she needed anything and the house was left just in perfect condition when we returned home. Thank you, Lori!

Mckenna & Nero

Upon returning from WA Pima and Tess were happy to see us and obviously had been well care for. The house was clean and they had their bedding and towels in the washer and dryer so less work for us! We would recommend them to anyone who is looking for pet and housesitters.

Barbara

Barbara came in and it was like she had known our pups all her life. They took to her and she to them. She did a great job with my two fur girls, Lambert and Olive. Olive is a little fussy with food and afraid of thunder. Barbara even let Olive cuddle in bed with her when the storms came. She kept us up to date on issues and anything unusual with the fur girls. She took great care of the house and the plants. Washed the linens and cleaned the house before she left. I will definitely ask her to come care for my two pups again. She did a great job and we felt at ease knowing the dogs were being well cared for. Barbara has a great personality and loves animals. Highly recommend.

Cathy

Cathy was a treasure and settled immediately into my home and the care of my kitties. I would definitely recommend her to other people looking for house sitters as she was very organised and planned her trip to be here with perfect timing. Easy to communicate with and friendly to my neighbours and everyone that met her during her stay. My home was left in excellent condition and my kitties had clearly been week cared for. Thank you Cathy!

Stephanie

Stephanie was amazing. Thorough, kind, unbelievably responsible, attentive, and caring to my pet's needs. I could just tell the minute I met her that she was going to be PERFECT! Look forward to having her again.

Rachel & Kevin

Rachel and Kevin were the best! We were apprehensive about leaving the dogs to meet strangers without being there at the same time and Rachel moved a personal appointment to accommodate us the day we were flying out. Her and her husband Kevin came the morning of our flight in plenty of time to meet the dogs, learn our garden watering needs and talk to us before we left for the airport. We had time to get our dogs used to their new friends before we left and it made us feel so much more comfortable before we took off. Very nice! They left our house in pristine condition, extremely clean and a welcome sight for tired travelers returning home. We have an extensive new garden and plants that were watered and well taken care of. They spoiled our dogs and took great care of them, providing texts and updates while we were gone. When we had a possible delay with our flight returning home, they were working with us to possibly stay an extra night if need be. (We ended up not needing it). Overall, Rachel and Kevin were great fur baby sitters. We would love for them to consider us for a sit anytime we leave town. Thanks, guys!!!!❤️🐾

Michael

Michael was an excellent sitter. He was a great communicator before, during, and after the sit. He was very capable with the animals and the house, and has extensive experience traveling, with animal care, speaking Spanish, etc. Your pets will be in great hands with him. Thank you, Michael! You're welcome back any time.

Kathleen & Ruben

I cannot say enough good about Kathleen and Ruben. They were easy to communicate with, flexible around my travel needs, and left my house spotless. Ruben even did me the favor of raking the leaves in my front yard 😊 They sent pictures and updates with Oakley and gave him stellar care! I’m happy we were able to figure out their needs around placement of their Airstream, because they were fantastic! I would highly recommend them to anyone !

Lucas

My dogs and I were lucky to have Lucas and Victoria as sitters while I was away for the weekend. They gave the dogs a fun and active staycation exploring Austin breweries and hiking spots. They were also clean, communicative, reliable, and sent plenty of pictures to keep us all happy. Highly recommend them and would definitely be thrilled to have them back again!

Melissa

Melissa did a great job taking care of my two pups for about two weeks while we were over seas. We came home to a clean happy and happy pups! We would happily ask her to sit for us again in the future.

Joyce

Joyce was wonderful and worked with our schedules even though we made a last minute change in our arrival time back home. The house was clean and tidy and our cats were happy! We’d ask Joyce back to sit any time (with maybe a few more cat pics 😉)!

Arwen

Ranai and Corey were terrific Stella loved them

Carol

Taking care of Bailey while we were in Boston was such a special experience. From the moment we arrived, we fell in love with him. He’s such a loving and playful dog, and spending time with him brought us so much joy every day. Carol was incredibly kind and thoughtful, always making sure we had everything we needed and ensuring that we felt comfortable and welcome. Her warmth and kindness made us feel at home, which is truly priceless when you're far from your own.The house was spotless, clean, and very cozy, making everything just perfect. We would love to look after Bailey again in the future. This has been an experience that we will cherish with fondness.

Lizzy

Cute and cosy place:)
The cats are gorgeous though a bit shy, but easy to look after!

Iris

My husband and daughter had an absolutely fantastic pet-sitting experience at Iris's place! Her house was spotlessly clean and located close to the beach. Not only was the house beautiful, but Ziggy and Truffle were incredibly friendly. They instantly became their friends, and they had a blast together. Walking the doggies along the beach was a highlight. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. Highly recommended!

Deb

We called the Embry cats My Three Sons, the softest and sweetest Himilayan cats ever! They were a joy to petsit, and what a great place to Housesit!! The owners couldn’t have been more welcoming, generous and accommodating with their relaxing home. We recommend their home to anybody in the THS network.

Penny

Sitting for Emma and the fish at Penny's home in Saugerties was lovely.  Emma is a sweetheart; she's still getting used to being around other humans, but after a feeding or two, and a bit of playtime, she appeared to approve of my presence!  She loves her catnip toys and belly rubs- missin' her already :)
 
Penny's home is beautiful, peaceful, organized and a great environment to have a quiet mountain retreat, or get a lot of work done.  She left a great house manual, and even made me a map with some landmarks and walk ideas on it.  Communication was seamless and relaxed.  

I would stay here again without hesitation, and I'm sure the spring, summer and fall are even more gorgeous!
