Dog Sitters in Santa Monica, CA

Bonnie

Bonnie and Jason were great sitters and very kind and easy going people. They had good communication and we would definitely love to have them back again!

Kavita & Matt

Kavita and her husband are simply wonderful people. Knowing we were going to have a hectic departure, they offered to come a week earlier to get the tour. This really helped us out. They were great about sending photos and it was obvious they really loved our dog like we do. I think they went on more adventures in two weeks than we have done with our dog all year! Our house was clean when we came home and they followed our cumbersome instructions on how to leave our dog alone (he has some separation anxiety). I hope they stay on this site for a long time so we would have the pleasure to have them over again. They are very warm, good hearted people. We will miss them!

Megan

Megan & James kindly accommodated our request to meet beforehand to meet Crunchie and provide an opportunity to ask any questions regarding caring for Crunchie. They kept in touch and unfortunately I forgot to advise them of the regular appointment of her dog walker visit. So Crunchie disappeared but thankfully Megan realised she had gone with a dog walker - oops, my apologies 😂 When we returned from our break Crunchie was in good form and had been well looked after. Thanks again ❤️

Sarah

Sarah was organized, kind and efficient. I would highly recommend her.

Joanna

Joanna was lovely! She is a bright, reliable, communicative pet and home sitter. She is very trust worthy and you can feel comfortable leaving your pets and home in her hands. The pups loved her. House was perfect on our return.

Christina

Christina took great care of our dogs and our house while we were away. We'd definitely have her back and would recommend her to others!

Cecilia

Ceci was Amazing! Warm and thoughtful, she did a great job managing our cat's comings and goings and left the place spotless. She is also a super talented musician and is now teaching us all piano!

Elizabeth

Elizabeth was great from beginning to end. Good communicator, great with the dogs, left the house spotless, and was an overall great sitter. We would definitely love to have her back!

Bittnarie

We highly recommend Bittnarie! She cared for our two dogs, home and garden for a month this summer! Our dogs warmed up to her quickly and were relaxed and happy under her care. Bittnarie's communication was perfect. She was attentive to our instructions and reached out when she had questions but was quite self-sufficient. She thoughtfully sent daily updates with pics and videos of the pups which we cherished. She's also a very interesting and fun person who we'd welcome back anytime. Thank you Bittnaire!

jesica

Jesica took such wonderful care of my cats and was a dream house sitter. She was communicative, clean, and super friendly. She gave great daily updates and captured fun pictures of the cat shenanigans. I can’t wait to invite her back!

Zoi

Zoi deserves 6/5 stars! She did an outstanding job with our 2 senior dogs who can be a bit needy when we leave town. She took them on fun adventures, shared lots of pics and updates, took great care of our home and was respectful and nice on top of it. We would absolutely invite Zoi back again to sit for us!

Denysha

Cannot say enough positive words. My fur babies were well taken care of and my house was left immaculate

Lisa

It was our first time using zeewoi and Anna & Richard made us feel totally at ease leaving our house and animals in their care. Communication with them was excellent, before and during the sit. They looked after our two dogs and cat brilliantly, sending us updates and photos regularly, and dealing with ‘gifts’ from the cat. I fear the pets will be disappointed that we are home and normality has resumed! The house was clean and tidy when we returned and they were totally flexible about our expected late, and in the end early, arrival home. 
A lovely couple, who I would thoroughly recommend.

BERNADETTE

Edith came and cared for my three very lively cats over the Thanksgiving holiday.  She arrived prior to my departure so we could discuss their feeding and care routine.  I am always a little concerned about my older cat Rocket when I go away, since at 13 yrs. old he  is having some health issues.  I wanted to make sure that the possibility (or should I say certainty) of some unavoidable messes wouldn't be too off-putting.  In addition to my 13 yr. old, I have two VERY active, i.e., destructive kittens who tend to get the crazies when the lights go out and it's time for bed.

I needn't have worried on either count.  Edith is the most kind-hearted and gentle animal lover I have ever had the pleasure to meet and entrust my cats to.  She spent time playing with them, allowed them to disrupt her attempts at working on the Sunday NYT crossword and gave them lots of snuggling.    I was kept updated via text and photo on how the 'boys' were doing which made me feel very at ease with the care they were receiving.  In addition to keeping their litter boxes, feeding areas and bedding clean & tidy, my apartment was meticulous when I returned.

Needless to say, I highly recommend Edith for anyone looking for a pet-sitter and  I am planning on having her sit for me again in the future.

Louise

It was an absolute pleasure to have Leah for four days and she did a marvellous job of looking after house and home whilst we were away. The house was immaculate on our return and animals and plants alive and happy after a very hot bank holiday weekend. Thank you, Leah!

Jana

Jana, James, Ayla and Charlotte are amazing hosts who gave us a wonderful welcome. Like them, the wise man Gizmo and the young energetic Molly are adorable, very cuddly, and extremely easy-going dogs. The communication was perfect.
We are delighted to have been able to share this experience in Calgary with them.
