“Great job, our pets and their space was well take care of! Before we left, Megan & Jenny R were collaborating with us on how to provide the best care, and stayed in touch during their visits.”
“Zoe is communicative, friendly, and got along great with our cat! We would recommend her services to anyone looking for a pet sitter (and have already rebooked her for next week ourselves!)”
About: I am a working professional in the east Bay. I have had dogs and a ferret in the past, but I currently have two cats that I am obsessed with. Cat care is part of my daily like and routine due to having cats of my own. I am externally comfortable and patient when getting to know new pets. I am very comfortable with small pets and have birds, hamsters, fish, and an amazing ferret in the past. I currently work full time in the east bay and am available before and after work during the week and any time needed on the weekends. I will follow any guidelines left by you to ensure your pet is safe and happy. Also I will give photo and text updates frequently!
“Heather is awesome! She has taken care of our furball 3 times now, and she always takes great care of him. She is so considerate and great with animals and she always straightens up and makes sure our place is a little cleaner than she found ot, which we really appreciate. I would definitely recommend her anytime, hands down.”
About: My preferred first name is Bear. I have 5+ years experience volunteering in rescue shelters with both dogs and cats and I’ve definitely developed a knack for befriending anxious/shy animals. I’ve also worked professionally as a dog bather working with dogs of all ages and sizes. I also have experience leash training dogs and training a few basic commands. I’ve done a lot of cat sitting as well (in homes with up to 11 indoor cats!). I’m currently in school pursuing a nursing degree. My summer class schedule allows me to go for walks and check ins during mornings and early afternoons. I have done a lot of pet sitting in the pet’s homes. I understand the importance of respecting my clients’ property and I always leave the property in the same condition as when I arrived, if not better. If you are a gamer, I will never mess with your save files (many past clients seem to have this concern lol).
“Julia is friendly and reliable. Her photos of my 18-yr-old cat and descriptionof him and what she did for him showed me that he was very comfortable with her and well cared for in my absence. She cleaned up after him (he's a little old!) and everything was great when I returned.”
About: I have had cats in my life for as long as I can remember! I began to care for them at age 13! Cat care is in my heart!! I am a retiree who is an avid cat lover! I am mobile with my car, my bike and my feet!! The more cat love, the better! I have not had any client other than friends whose cats (and other pets) I have watched while they have gone away! I listen to the cat parent about needs, wants, what to watch for and then ease into the cat relationship to gain the trust of the animal 🐱
“Christina was very responsive to my original request and was great during our meet and greet. Despite all the little notes I had, she handled it with flying colors. During the visits, she did a great job of making sure my cat felt the presence of humans, even if my cat wasn't feeling especially social. Thanks so much Christina and I'd love to work with her again.”
About: From 8 years old onward, I grew up with my brother in fur, Zoopy. The Zoop (as my family called him) was my best friend as I transitioned from childhood to adulthood. I walked him every day, picked up his poop, fed him, and most importantly, loved him with everything I had to give. Since he passed away when I was 20 years old, I have enjoyed casual walks for dogs of friends and family. Even though I didn’t grow up with cats, my girlfriend has a couple of Siamese cats and I adore them. I work fully remote and my schedule is flexible, so I can walk your dogs anytime! My weekends generally get a bit busier, but with enough notice, I can happily accommodate weekend walks. I’m happy to take care of your dog and play with them in your own home! I can accommodate whatever form of exercise you prefer for them, including multiple walks per day!
About: I have two dogs of my own and German shepherd & an Aussie. I am well experienced with furry animals. Treat teach one as family I am currently working a part time job. I mostly do morning shifts so I’m available after. I take care of my own dogs daily I’d treat each furry friend like they were my own at home. With up most respect & engagement from me. As well as respect home
“Jessica is such a delight and was an amazing cat sitter when our original sitter had to cancel very last-minute. She was incredibly patient as we walked her through every little detail of our spoiled cat’s life, asked great questions, and of course/most importantly, took amazing care of our cat while we were away. Lulu is a domesticated street cat - she’s indoor/outdoor and prefers outdoor when we’re not around. Jessica managed to get her inside at night, sent lots of updates, and put up with her meowing. Our home was pristine upon our return. Will gladly book again. Thank you Jessica!”
“Julianne is awesome! I loved that she wanted to meet us and our cat Richard before taking care of him. She was reassuring in her report cards and Richard seemed quite happy and well taken care of when we got home. She was also flexible when our scheduled changed a bit and also patient w/ me as I figured out how to use Rover. She's a gem!”
About: I am very attentive to the needs of your pets, especially if they are older and slower, but I also enjoy energetic puppies and pets that need some training and just need some positive re-enforcement. I am available to House sit - although I don't know how to reflect that on the website. I actively practice positive reinforcement obedience training. My schedule is open now in general but I may do a retreat every so often. I nearby in the Bay Area, my schedule is more flexible. I prefer to care for pets in their own homes, since I live in a small place. I am attentive to the needs of the pet and if I see that the pet needs exercise, I make sure they get sufficient exercise through their regular routines.

Qishu was a great sitter, who bonded so naturally and quickly with our cat Piper! She left sweet and thorough reports for each visit, plenty of cute vids, and great communication throughout. She went above and beyond to make sure Piper got the extra affection she needs while we're away. Thanks for taking such good care of our sweet P!
Sarah was such a great sitter! She was attentive during the meet and greet and clearly demonstrated her comfort with felines, especially when approaching sassy and slightly aloof kitties like Maddie. I felt comfortable leaving Maddie under Sarah’s care and appreciated her thoughtful updates and timely communication. I wholeheartedly recommend her as a sitter and will not hesitate to hire her in a future 😸
Andy dropped in to care for our cats while we were away and we were really happy with how things went. Andy was friendly, a great communicator (good pics and summaries of visits, patient with coordination ahead of time), and conscientious about our cats' special dietary and medicine needs. The cats seemed get along with him very well, and we would gladly use his services again.
Celeste is the best!! I feel so much more relaxed leaving my cats knowing they’re in her hands. Her communication is incredible and her photos and daily blurbs always make me laugh. You can tell she truly understands cats and their individual personalities and what they need.
