House Sitting in Simi

Stefanie was great!!! Our location and times changed, she was so flexible for us. She sent us pictures throughout the evening and returned to us a happy little dog.

Hailey is very personable. She quickly responded to my request to book her for a 4-day house/cat sitting on "short notice" (2 weeks out). She came over right away to learn about the cats and the house. Our cats are free to go in and out during daylight, but they need to inside at night due to predators in our area. An electronic cat flap ensures that they remain inside at night. On the second evening, Hailey noticed that the electronic cat flap had allowed the cats exit after the "lock in" time. She quickly reported the problem to me and sent a photo of the control panel so I could diagnose the problem. I suspected that the batteries had died, which requires reprogramming. I told her where to find fresh batteries and the programming instructions. I doubt most sitters would be able to do it at all, but Hailey had it set up again within 10 minutes! Our "people" cat Shilo slept with Hailey, a high compliment. One evening our other cat Cassie (more leary of strangers) decided to sequester herself in the crawl space under the house. Hailey tried all the tricks to entice Cassie to come in, but to no avail, so Hailey stayed up until 11:15 when Cassie finally came back in. Hailey sent a photo or two of the cats daily and a brief comment on the cats' behavior, which is much appreciated. When we returned from our trip, the house was just as we'd left it 4 days before (which was clean and tidy). We wouldn't hesitate to book Hailey again.

Lauren was the best! She watched our dog during our wedding. Our dog was in the ceremony and then Lauren picked her up right after the ceremony ended and brought her back to our house. Her communication was great and she made everything so easy and stress free. When we came home our dog was happy and sleepy. Would definitely have her look after our girl again and recommend her for any pup sitting needs.

Melissa watched our 2 dogs and 1 cat in our home for 10 days. I can’t say enough wonderful things about her! She sent us many updates and photos which was greatly appreciated, especially being away from our pets for so long. Our older dog is 15 and was having some issues due to a medical condition she has and Melissa took AMAZING care of her and administered her medication as needed. She also watered the garden which I totally forgot to ask her to do so that was an extra kind gesture! Our house was left spotless and we came home to very happy animals! I would highly recommend booking with Melissa and would love to use her again in the future.

Veronica is just amazing. Our dog feels so safe, happy, and relaxed every time Veronica watched our princess. We have no words to express our gratitude to Veronica.

Erik was professional, and I appreciate that he took the time to come out and meet the dogs before the booking. When my son and I returned after a 5 night vacation, the house was clean and the dogs were happy. I would trust him with them again.

Andrea was so great. Took such great care of Stella, was so communicative and easy to work with, and left our house clean and untouched. Would definitely choose her again to look after our pup.

Lilith is awesome. PepperJack and Skylar took to her right away. PepperJack particularly has "people" separation anxiety, and this was the first time in 5 years that we had an overnight outing without taking him. The picture Lilith sent of the two of them blissed out in the late afternoon sound asleep was proof that they were completely comfortable and happy with her. I highly recommend her and will plan another night out when she can be here.

Well done!

Devan stayed at our home and took care of our big, loud dog. He was on time and very responsive and our house was just as we left it when we returned. Thank you!
