Pet Sitters in West Sacramento, CA

Jenny & Drew

We had agreed to this pet sit months prior to their arrival. It was a 6 week stay. Jenny and Drew arrived less than 12 hours prior to my departure. I picked them up at the airport and took them to lunch at a seaside restaurant. I was so surprised that Jenny had not even read the "home owners manual" that this website provides. I sent the information a good month prior to their arrival. They were not prepared in my opinion or took the house sit very seriously. Nevertheless I had confidence in their abilities after spending time with them. When we arrived at the home I introduced them to my 2 doggies and got them acquainted with the home and area.. Upon my return (6 weeks later) there was missing food in the freezer, missing towels, and some broken items. The dogs seemed very happy and content and Jenny would let me know from time to time that the pets were fine. All in all they were good but I was disappointed in their lack of preparedness and the missing and broken items. I spoke to Jenny prior to writing this review in order to understand what took place while I was away. I was not completely satisfied with her replies. Most importantly my home and dogs were safe and sound. So I'm satisfied.

Eric

Eric arrived to the house on time, sent updates proactively and left the house exactly as we left it. He even put the sheets and towels in the laundry without being asked before he left. Would be happy to have him sit for us again!

Sharon & Jay

Sherry was great! She came the night before we left to get the lay of the land and meet our dogs and stayed till we got home to fill us in on all the dogs shenanigans. Despite having a family crisis, Sherry continued to care for our dogs and fulfilled her commitment to stay at our house. Everything was in tip top shape when we got home. We do appreciate her help in being our first guest/sitter in our home!

Jenny

I would give Jenny and Brandon even more stars if I could. This is their second time sitting for me and again, exceptional care! Sam had a lot of fun with them and they were great at taking him places and spending loads of time with him. The house was sparkling clean, sheets washed, and everything was in order. I highly recommend Jenny and Brandon for your next sit!

Aaron

Aaron was perfect. I was comfortable the moment I met him. He was so sweet to my cats especially my very shy, Lil Baby. They were well taken care of

Hannah

We are so lucky to have had Hannah as our sitter. She was professional and reliable. Our dogs got sprayed with a skunk the morning we left for our trip and she handled the inconvenience with class and professionalism. My husband and I travel a lot and it’s always stressful wondering if our animals are being well taken care of, but in leaving them with Hannah, I barely thought about them because I felt so comfortable leaving them in her hands. We came home to a tidy house and pets that weren’t even super excited to see us which means they received plenty of love while we were gone. Anyone would be lucky to have Hannah sit for them!

Amy & Frank

Amy and Frank did a great job of watching after and taking care of my 3 labs. The dogs were happy and the house was well taken care of when I got home!

John & Katie

From the start to the finish, John and Katie were communicative and honest. We live rurally and have 2 huge dogs, chickens and have non-traditional water and septic. They took it all in stride. We came home to happy dogs, everything clean and tended, and friends. We could not be happier with our first Zeewoi experience.

Cory & Samson

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

Laura

Laura was an excellent sitter. Bailey ended up having a cough and she too extra special care of him. She waited until we came home before she left and checked up on him after she left. A true dog lover. We would love to have her again anytime!

Alyssa

Alyssa was a phenomenal sitter and we'd welcome her back anytime. She left the house and our dog in wonderful states. I think Ziggy now prefers dog sitters to his typical humans :) Huge thanks to Alyssa for taking such great care of our dog and our home!

Pamela & Gary

Pam and Gary house and dog sat for us for 15 days, which gave us a fabulous holiday break. Right from the moment we Skyped each other I felt comfortable and then on meeting with them the day before we left any anxious feelings I had vanished. They are such lovely people and Winston (our dog) also related with them immediately. Whilst away Pam would keep in touch with how Winston was going - he is only 10 months old so a bit of a handful at times. However, Gary and Pam took great care of him. It was great to come home to a very tidy home, gardens watered and a very happy dog. Andrea & Dave

Anne

I had a nice time with Kitty, Mouse, and Bean.  They are all very cute and interesting animals. Kitty is affectionate, calm, and sweet, but also likes his independent time alone.  Mouse and Bean are very energetic, very playful and fun.  They gave me lots and lots of love.  They are fun to watch play together.  Anne was generous and took me to dinner the night before she left.  The home is comfy and has an amazing view.  Very close to town, and also to a nice trailhead.

Bonnie

I really loved looking after Bonnie’s fur babies and staying in her house! Bonita is an affectionate, smart and super easy dog to look after. Mallow is a gentle old man cat who purrs as soon as you start patting him. I will miss them both so much! 
The house is cute, comfortable and conveniently located. It was lovely to meet Bonnie and spend some time with her. She was generous and easy to communicate with. Would highly recommend this sit!

Lucy

George Michael is cute & adorable cat with a lot of personalities.  We enjoyed his company and missed him already.  

We had great communication with Lucy.  Her house is located in a beautiful French countryside, 30-40 minute drive from many interesting destinations.  We would love to come back.

Wendy

Wendy and Steve are so generous and kind and easy to communicate with. And while Cheeto is not particularly snuggly, he is a wonderful communicator and a beautiful, loving kitty. 

Thank you guys for having me. I wrote so well in your gorgeous home and had such fun in your kitchen. I hope to be able to sit for you again very soon. 💕

Lara

My stay at Lara’s place was really pleasant! The communication was uncomplicated and friendly right from the start & the apartment is just wonderful! The U-Bahn is only a couple of steps away, so even though the apartment itself isn’t located in the center directly, nothing is too far away. Yemayá needed some time and was a bit distanced at first but then got really cuddly and sweet. She is very clear in what she wants and makes it easy to care for her. My stay was exactly what I hoped for & we had a really good time!

Sandra

Sammy is the absolute sweetest, cuddly cat! He loves making biscuits and cuddling at night. He's super easy to care for - 2 wet food packets a day and he comes/goes as he pleases. Sandra is super communicative. Her home is beautiful and very comfortable. I really enjoyed this sit and would come back anytime!
