Pet Sitters in Sheldon, CA

Elizabeth & Jose

Liz and Jose were great! Liz and I talked a few times between the time we confirmed the pet-sit and the time they arrived. They were anxious to see the welcome guide I prepared and had clearly read it before they arrived. They had never been to my area before, but they researched the things they like to do beforehand and found what they need. They always got back to me quickly when we communicated and always did exactly what they said they would do (and what I asked, like texting me their ETA when they were on their way here). Unfortunately, my cat is a weirdo - sort of feral acting - and didn't come out of hiding until their last day or two. But they were patient with her and even left the house a few times to give her a chance to come out and eat and do her business. They were really disappointed that they couldn't spend more time with my sweet girl, but they took care of all of her needs with regard to food, water, and scooping litter, so she was well taken care of. Liz and I have been in touch already since their sit, and we're hoping we can find a way to make Rosie more comfortable with them next time. Hopefully, that will happen, because I really liked them, and they loved my area, so a repeat performance would be great for all of us, hopefully including Rosie.

Rachel

Rachel, was polite, clean and was an amazing house sitter for the dogs,

Scott

Scott is a dream. Not only did he take great care of our cats and bearded dragon, but he was respectful, responsive, and extremely responsible. He even unboxed some perishables that arrived in the mail and put them in the fridge, as well as washing the sheets and making the bed up for us after his stay. Couldn't recommend him more highly.

Amy

Amy is a dream housesitter. Jump at the chance to have her stay with your pet if you have the opportunity.

Alysa

Alysa was great! She visited for an orientation day and made sure to introduce herself to Flair which really put my mind at ease. She also sent me occasional pic updates of Flair and always checked with me when she had questions about anything which I really appreciated. She was also accommodating with dates of the sit & also helped out by taking care of some mould spots that appeared in my apartment. When I came home, I could see that Flair was a happy cat :)

Laura & Sho

This is the second time that Laura & Sho have housesit for us. Laura is great with keeping in touch and very organized. I’d use them every time if they were available!

Laurie

Laurie cat sat for me while I was out of the country for a week. We chatted a bit by phone ahead of the sit to work out the details and then I had the pleasure of meeting her in person when she arrived. My outgoing cat Buddy took to her immediately, and my shy girl Cheryl came around a few moments later (much faster than usual when meeting a new person). My cats felt at ease with her right away, which was very reassuring for me. Laurie sent me photos regularly and kept the home clean and kitties happy. Couldn’t have gone any better. Thank you Laurie for your care and calm nature!

Noelle & John

We cannot say enough good things about Noelle! She is an amazing person and a super duper competent house & cat sitter. Our two boyz fell deeply in love with Noelle and are moping around the house now that we've returned, pining for Noelle! Noelle took perfect care of the boyz and our home. Her communication was terrific. We will definitely have Noelle back (sooner the better as far as our cats are concerned!). Thank you Noelle!

Mary & Wayne

Mary and Wayne were communicative with us and very caring with our pets. Our pets are diverse- cats, ducks, and a tortoise- and they made sure they were all well taken care of. Thanks, Mary and Wayne!

Cory & Samson

Communication was infrequent. We like a daily text and photo.

Brian

Brian was great, he took good care of our cats. He was neat and tidy and kept in contact.

Megan & German

Megan and her family were wonderful sitters for our dog Sonny! Sonny is a full-fledged member of our family and one thing that really drew us to Megan was the fact that she and her children would be coming into our home and providing attention and care like we do. Upon arriving home, Sonny was in such great spirits that it was immediately obvious how well he was treated. With other sitters, we have noticed sometimes that it takes days or even a week for Sonny to get over us leaving, but with Megan and her family, Sonny was happy and didn't even hold a grudge for us being gone. This reflects how well they treated him in our absence. We are so grateful for that loving attention!

Sarah

This was a truly special and wonderful housesit. It has been an absolute privilege to house sit for Sarah in her gorgeous villa in Grimaud, South of France, for 5 months. Sarah is a very special host. She is truly lovely, friendly, generous, considerate, thoughtful and organised. Sarah communicates promptly, with clarity and she thought of everything to make this a wonderful housesit experience. Sarah is also kind and helpful and was happy for our adult son to stay with us during this sit and for our daughter to visit. Sarah’s home is stunning and we fell in love with it straight away. It has been a real inspiration and pleasure to spend five months here in such a beautiful environment. This has been a very special house sit and I will always look back on my time here with fond memories. We would love to house and pet sit, with Scout, for Sarah again. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Sarah, for your kindness and sharing your beautiful villa with us :))

Sophia

We had a wonderful time ! Jeremy and Sophia are great hosts, very welcoming. We shared with them a delicious Savoyard dinner  Jeremy had done when we arrived.  The house is gorgeous . This is such a beautiful and relaxing place! The guest room is large and comfortable  with an amazing view on sun rise .
Snowy, the dog was sweet as could be.  The cat is independent and easy to care for.
This was a perfect experience, a great sit that I can highly recommend!

Elizabeth

Elizabeth is such a welcoming, warm and easy going person. Communicative and easy to keep in touch with during my stay.
She explained everything in her welcome guide as well as in person when I arrived.

Her apartment is at a great location in a calm neighborhood with cute cafes and the city centre on 15min cycling distance.

Pelona and Mona are lovely and super cuddly once they are used to you. I loved sitting on the couch and cuddling with them, I had Pelona on my lap under the blanket and Mona in my neck like a scarf once while watching a movie haha! It was a joy taking care of them, thank you so much for having me!

James

Charming town and sanctuary-like living space. Eta was a cuddly companion and Kate and James were very thorough, inviting and communicative throughout the process/sit. Always available for any emergency needs/concerns.

Conner

Conner and Joe are exceptional hosts! Their beautiful West Seattle home is a perfect retreat, offering both comfort and convenience. The vintage charm, combined with modern amenities like AC and high-speed WiFi, made my stay incredibly enjoyable. Their pets - Ella, Rock, and Kitty - are absolute delights and so well-behaved. The location is fantastic, with easy access to parks, hiking trails, and a variety of shops and restaurants. Conner and Joe's communication was clear and timely, making the entire experience smooth and stress-free. I highly recommend this house sit to anyone looking for a wonderful time in West Seattle!

Julia

Pet sitting for Julia was a great experience. Her house was clean and comfortable, Ember is such a sweet kitty!   We loved to play and snuggle together. Communication with julia,  before, during, and after the sit was clear and easy.  I would love to stay and take care of Ember  again in the future if the opportunity comes up.
