My wife and I were preparing to visit friends/family back east for a two week trip. Even though we reciprocate with friends in terms of pet sitting, I always feel like I'm imposing on them. As the time approached for us to make the phone calls and emails to friends to muster and divvy up the cat sitting duties, we decided to explore the option of having professional cat sitting instead. It was a wise decision. Paul and Sharon came to our place for "the interview" and after a few minutes we felt comfortable entrusting our 12-year old Maine Coon, Toby, to their care. Being an older (and spoiled cat), Toby is set in his ways and can be very challenging for people who he doesn't know. It was clear that Paul and Sharon were comfortable and confident in dealing with him and that convinced us to hire them for the job. Being a long-haired cat, it's a ritual of ours to groom Toby every day. When we returned from our trip, Toby was still well-groomed. Had he not been groomed daily, we would have known because snarls and knots form in his fur very quickly. Besides grooming him, Paul used the laser pointer to play with Toby and followed all of our instructions to a T. Every few days Paul would send us photos and texts updating us on his visits with Toby. We came home to a healthy and well cared for kitty. In addition Paul was punctual in returning our keys and garage door opener. We couldn't be happier with our experience with A Happy Housesitters. Thanks again Paul! read more

Sharon and Paul have taken care of our two dogs and house twice this month. They watched our dogs overnight in our house, staying with them at least 12 hours and also did an afternoon 30 minute check up, potty break and walk. They take the time to gather all the necessary information they need, i.e. emergency contacts, vets location and phone number and lots of questions about our doggies. Our Brittany Spaniel and Maltipoo love Paul and Sharon and the attention they gave them. Both dogs were very relaxed and happy when we returned home. They also took them to the dog park and our dogs slept with them. It is such a relief to be able to have Sharon and Paul take such good care of our dogs and house. They checked our mail daily, watered our plants and kept the house neat and tidy for our return. They also kept us posted on how our doggies were doing. Paul and Sharon have been very reliable and accommodating and their pricing is very reasonable. I highly recommend them. read more

Sharon and Paul took care of my 4 indoor and 4 outdoor cats this past week and let me tell ALL of you, NO ONE comes fussier than I am about pet sitters, I am one myself and I know how it should be. I left a 'laundry' list of do's and don'ts with the cats, as well as a quarter acre of plant watering and when I got home everything was PERFECT. What's even more important is how I felt while I was gone. They sent me plenty of texts and pixs to ease my worries (that I always have when I leave my babies) and the sign of a professional and great pet sitter is how the owner feels while they are away, and I was very happy, and their texts were very calming (and always patient with me). This husband/wife team are GREAT! thanks Sharon and Paul!! kitty hugs from Abby, Hermie, Tango, Nanee, Casper, Sambi(o), Callie Girl and Tux. :-) read more

We have never used a pet sitting service until last weekend. Of course we were a little wary. But we had absolutely nothing to worry about. Nancy was an absolute god-send. We have 2 dogs and 2 cats and they all loved Nancy. Our Old English Sheepdog is over 13 years old and has steadiness issues. Our other dog is a rescue from Taiwan and does not like many people. They both adored Nancy. She kept me informed by texts and phone calls, walked the dogs, cleaned the litter boxes and even changed the sheets on our bed before we got home! We could not have found anyone better and will definitely be calling Happy House Sitters again. And hope to always get Nancy! Thank you for a great job! read more

We can't speak highly enough about the care & concern Paul & Sharon gave our two furry kids, our Ace & Snoopy dogs, while we attended an event in the San Jose area. We made contact & then arrangements via the web, face book and by phone a week prior to our arrival. They were willing to come to our hotel. They really went out of their way to accommodate our special needs besides the usual feeding & walking of our four-legged kidos. We could tell that our precious furbies were happy when we returned. We've experienced the opposite before. If you are a local or a visitor to their area we would recommend that you call upon them first for your pet sitter needs. D & R of Santa Maria, CA read more

Sharon and Paul took very good care of Casey, our black lab. We had just 'rescued' Casey a month earlier, so us leaving Casey at our house while leaving for a week long vacation could have been fairly traumatic considering Casey's abandoned background. Sharon and Paul took detailed notes of Casey's routine and visited us a couple of times to be sure Casey was comfortable. It all turned out perfectly, and in fact Sharon and Paul did more than was expected in caring for Casey with extra walks and spending a little extra time with her at home. We highly recommend their pet sitting services and we'll most certainly use them again! read more

Paul and Sharon have taken care of our two dogs during several of our vacations during the past year. Our dogs have become too elderly to board, so during short trips, Paul has visited them twice a day to walk and feed them, and during a recent longer trip Paul and Sharon stayed at our house. Their service has been excellent. They are unfailingly punctual and polite, they check in whenever they have any concern about a pet, and they leave the house clean and cared for. It was so nice to return from our vacation to a clean house (with freshly made beds and vacuumed floors!) and a relaxed, happy dog. Highly recommended! read more

Nancy has watched my cat Joni three times so far, for up to two weeks each time, and is very professional, reliable, honest, and flexible. She'll be sitting Joni for two weeks starting next week and I have nothing but confidence in her. During one sitting, a low battery in one of the smoke alarms was causing it to shriek at regular intervals. The smoke detector is located high up on a wall, out of normal reach. Nancy went the extra mile and brought her nephew over to fix it. I could offer numerous other examples where it's clear you're getting a house sitter in the deal. Highly recommended. read more

I found Paul and Sharon through my neighbor who used them to sit for their Maine Coon cat. I was impressed with their Yelp reviews. My big Maine Coon cat, Buddy, is a real lover and I hesitate to leave him alone. I interviewed Paul and scheduled them to look in on Buddy while I was in NYC for the week. Not only did Paul take very good care of Buddy, he brushed him and sent me pictures of my 20 lb. Buddy napping on his lap!! I have complete confidence in A Happy House Sitters and have already scheduled them to sit for Buddy in August. Sharon G. read more

I would highly recommend A Happy House Sitters. I was new to the area when unexpectedly needed someone to care for my two shih tzu's. I had to leave town with 48 hours. I called Sharon and she met me the next day. Sharon and Paul went above and beyond when it came to caring for my dogs.I know Sharon and Paul are extremely trustworthy individuals. My dogs love them and I would NOT have anybody else watch or care for them when I am out of town. I have three more jobs lined up for her already. read more

I found AHH Sitters about a year and a half ago when my previous sitter had to stop sitting. Sharon & Nancy both came to meet with me about my needs and meet the family. Nancy has been my sitter every time and has always been available when needed, including for a couple of last minute emergency trips. I have always returned to an orderly house and happy pets. I know I don't have to worry about things at home when I'm out of town. Thanks Nancy! read more

Paul has watched my cat on numerous occasions and has done a wonderful job each time, he really goes above and beyond! Once, I made the mistake of locking my back gate making entry to the house impossible. Paul willing went to meet up with my landlord to get the necessary keys... above and beyond! I am able to feel at ease when I am out of town, I am so thankful to have found this company! read more

Nancy from A Happy House Sitters was great! She took care of our kitties, one of whom required insulin shots twice a day. She sent us pictures/emails/texts during our vacation so we would know that our kitties were doing ok. Our cats were as happy as clams when we returned and there were no issues. Thanks Nancy! read more

What a breath of fresh air. Folks that know animals, show up when they're supposed to and charge a reasonable price. My husband and I have 5 cats and one is on medication twice a day. Paul and Sharon were there for us on short notice and did a great job. I have found the pet sitters of my dreams. Susie read more
