House Sitting in Occidental

“Elika did an incredible job watching my two large dogs (who can be a real handful, especially with strangers). She clearly is comfortable with animals, and made me feel at ease.”

“Andrea takes exceptional care of our dogs- I almost feel bad for them when we come home because they’ve had so much fun with her! Along with taking great care of them she writes great updates and sends photos so we don’t miss them so much!”

“David has been a big help for our family. He's really flexible, neat and our dog loves him. David is on our favorite list and we will be hiring him again. Our dog can be hard to deal with and David wasn't intimidated and handled everything like a pro! You will not be disappointed!”

“Hi Rover family! I've been using this app for 5+ years and have gone through many rover sitters! (We're allowed to be picky, these are our fur children were talking about!) However, now that I have Kendall, my 3 pets will now only be with their "aunty kenny!!" She was born to do this job. Having many animals of her own, she knows exactly the compassion and patience animals need! She's punctual and a great communicator which makes me have a peace of mind when traveling! She also treats my home as her own, always leaving it cleaner than it was! If you want your animal in the best care, she's your go to girl!!”

“Eric is a very nice person who cares for all pets like if they were his own. He is a patient, honest and a very reliable person. I have a pit bull who goes right to him whenever he stops to visit.”

“Kody was very attentive to my two border collies , took them for awalks played frisbee with them and made sure they were safe and well fed. He even vacuumed the house for me before I got home.!”

“Another great pet sitting experience with Lauren! Luna and Juice (my dog and cat) are always relaxed, calm and happy after Lauren has spent time with them! She's super responsive, sends updates and pictures, and takes care of everything around my house...and always leaves it very clean! Lauren also seems to genuinely enjoy spending time with my furry friends, and for that I am very grateful! I always feel 100% comfortable and confident when Lauren is my pet and house sitter! Thank you, Lauren!”

“Shiva has been taking care of my mutt mix breed dog for the past few years. She is very kind and tentative to animals, specially dogs. I've seen her trying to expand her knowledge about dogs at every opportunity, checking what's good or bad for dogs. Walking , grooming feeding her at a steady schedule. My dog love her and enjoys her company,after all what do we want for our baby dogs but being happy and wagging their tail as they see their care givers. Best thing is that dogs can't lie and always show their true feelings toward people personality. My dog has been well fed, exercised and healthy, passing every veterinary check up with excellent points! Thanks to Shiva ❤️”

“Andrew has cared for Gus, our Bischon, for years. He is super responsible and has a great rapport with all animals. Andrew has excellent communication skills and truly loves dogs. I highly recommend Andrew not only as a pet walker, but also as a house sitter. He does not smoke. Two thumbs up!”

“We love Jamie. She is so good with our pups. She is great with communication, punctual and takes such good care of them. My pups are my babies and I never worry when they are in her care. She is also great at watching our house, making sure lights are on or off and everything's is secure.”

“Logan took care of our house, our chickens, and our two energetic dogs. We would hire him again in a second flat. Our dogs love him, and we came home to a house that may even be cleaner than we left it.”

“Our dogs had a fabulous time with Casey while we went away for a week. She was very communicative before and during the trip and sent us regular updates with photos. She really put us at ease. We arrived home to two very happy and contented dogs - and a spotless house! I would definitely recommend Casey for your pet sitting needs.”

“Stanton cared for our 2 cats with love, care and respect. We'd hear from him often with pictures and a short caption to let us know how the cats were doing. He never hesitated to ask, instead of assume, if he had a question about their care. Now we know Slim & Chessie are in great hands if we are out of town!”

“Excellent in every way! Great communication, regular photos and updates, on time and organized, and left the house as clean as it was when we left. Solved years worth of anxiety and pet sitting conundrums for us!”

“Laura was great! She took very good care of my babies. It was my first time having someone come over and watch my doggos. She sent me a picture of her and my pittie Blue and let me know how both dogs were doing. I will be using Laura in the future if she is available, she is a gem.”

“Avi was amazing! I have a wonderful, but also behaviorally complicated, energetic German Shepard who requires special attention and because of Avi I was able to travel for a few months, knowing he was properly cared for. He goes above and beyond to make sure he always felt safe, to watch his behavioral signs and act accordingly. And I will say, my pups loved him so much. To the point when I returned he struggled to say goodbye to him :)”

“Devan is a sweet animal guy… he truly is so loving and caring with my cat and dog. I was away visiting family when fire evacuations happened, and he packed up my fur babies and brought them to stay with him at the coast and kept them safe and happy. He is truly trustworthy and my animals love him.”

“grateful for easeful and thorough experience and communication with Bodhi before and during--full gratitude and recommendation!”

“Toni is awesome! She took great care of my animals and sent me several photos and videos. They all loved her! We had a little snafu with a garage door that wouldn't close, but Toni handled it great, and stayed until I could get someone out there to get it fixed even though she had other things to do that day. She's super sweet, responsible, and clearly loves animals. I would recommend her to anyone!”
