Cat Sitters in South San Francisco, CA

Melissa & Monte

We thoroughly enjoyed meeting Melissa - Ruby took to her immediately and became her shadow for the rest of the weekend, I think she's still missing her! Melissa was so easy to have in the house, it felt like an old friend coming to stay, we felt very comfortable leaving her in charge when we went away. Ruby was beautifully looked after, we couldn't ask for more and hope that Melissa will come back another time!

Leigh Anne

We were really happy with Leigh Anne, we left her our cats for 1 month and we came back to 3 happy cats (they didnt even noticed we were gone !) and super clean appartment. She is very friendly, funny, interesting, reliable and attentive, she really cared about all our instructions and it was not easy because of a 3rd last minute cat (stray cat during winter), one toothless cat and all 3 going outside. But she handled it perfectly ! We loved that she was respectful and patient with our cats who are shy and fearful with new people. She's someone who trully love cats and was available for them. She regularly sent us news and cats pictures on whatsap and replied quickly when we asked for some. It was a pleasure to meet her, we highly recommand Leigh Anne !

Ginny

Ginny was wonderful! Very communicative, clean, and gave tons of attention to our cat and hens.

Sonja

Love Sonja and will keep inviting her as long as she would like to house/pet sit for us. Highly recommended!

Chris & Andrea

Chris and Andrea were great with communication, we arranged eveything beforehand and they jumped straight into caring for our animals and house when they arrived. Our pets were happy with all the extra attention they recieved and thehouse looked great when we returned home.

Adrian & Hilary

AJ and Hilary were great! House and pups were happy, healthy and clean when we returned. What more can you ask for? We would totally have them back again, no question.

Adele

Adele was great with my cat! My cat was sad I was out of town, as I have been busy recently. She kept Adele up at night and I was very thankful she didn’t give up or leave early due to an anxious cat. Thankful for her stay

grey

Grey was terrific, informative, self reliant, he made me feel confident that my 4-legged kids were well taken care of.

Leahna

Leahna was an extremely kind and responsible sitter for our dog over a long weekend. She was responsive and provided updates and pictures while we were on our trip. She also left the place very tidy. It was clear she took great care of our dog and our home. We would definitely recommend Leahna as a sitter!

Opal

Opal looked after my dog Pico and my home while I was traveling. I returned home to a happy dog and a clean apartment, she even had some fresh flowers waiting on the counter for me! Opal was very communicative and self sufficient when I was away, I felt comfortable knowing my dog was in good hands and was able to relax and enjoy my time. She sent me pictures and made sure Pico was taken care of before she left, she even did all the laundry and had clearly cleaned up. I wouldn’t hesitate to have her back anytime :)

Leslie

Leslie was a great sitter, perfectly in tune with our dear Naja the wonder dog. She made sure we were up to date, sending photos every day.

Andrew

Andrew worked out great. Charlie was shy with him, but warmed up a bit, and was a happy camper when I returned. I came back to a tidy house and a happy garden. Special kudos for diligent watering in a heat wave!

Gregory

There is not enough praise to offer Lorraine and Ged! They are two of the most wonderful human beings you will ever meet!! They have a sincere love of animals, developed a very close connection with Allie (and even Flash!) as they helped her live some of her best days while with them! I just KNOW she is already missing them both!

Over their multi-week visit, they sent me some of the cutest pictures and videos of the time they spent with Allie (from reading, to tucking her into bed, to giving her a bath while washing my car), to include their 3-day walk around the lake with Flash (my Russian tortoise)! (LOL). They really are extraordinary folks with a passion for taking a sincere interest in bringing enjoyment and love into your pet's life.

My place was cared for and cleaned as if it were their own... and they even conducted the hand-off to the next pet sitter since my time out of town is so long.

I'm so glad to have met this lovely couple, plan to keep in touch with them and their worldly travels, and hope to have them back again anytime!!!

Sarah

Iryna and José did an absolutely amazing job helping us with our pets Zeplin (dog) and Truffle (cat)! They were our top choice out of all our applicants. 

When we first spoke with them via Zoom, we immediately could tell they were friendly, caring, and detail oriented people. They asked great questions, took notes, and showed us they were exactly the kind of folks that we would trust with our fuzz babies as well as our property. Furthermore, after we officially invited them to the sit, they arranged their plans quickly and confirmed far in advance.

Upon their arrival at our place, Iryna and José immediately bonded with our Zep and Truff, and we could tell everybody was happy! As we showed them the pet routine, house details, and watering instructions they both took notes and videos. We knew we were in good hands. We had no service at times while we are away and every time we regained service we received a cute picture and nothing but good news from home. It was so comforting to know that our boys and our life were being properly taken care of by these sweet folks. 

We highly recommend Iryna and José for petsitting around the world! In the future, we would love to host them at our place again and have them spend time with our pets. THANKS GUYS!!
