Cat Sitting Alamo Oaks

“Elizabeth did drop-in visits with Milo the Cat while we were away for 10 days. She was there every day, for more time than expected, making sure he was happy and healthy. The updates were great for peace of mind and the pictures were very sweet. I'd definitely use Elizabeth again and recommend her to anyone else needing a sitter.”

“Quinn and Kat are the best! Highly recommend. I had Quinn drop in to feed/hang with my cat Skippy and it was such a relief. He got to stay home while I had to go out of town and still had some there to care for him. Can’t thank you enough! 10/10”

About: What sets me apart as a sitter is my hands-on experience with dogs of all ages, especially those who need patience, structure, and understanding. I have a strong background in caring for both young, high-energy dogs and senior pets who require a gentler, more attentive approach. Over the years, I’ve adopted and cared for shelter dogs, including one of my most meaningful experiences: transforming my 3-year-old German Shepherd who came from an abusive and neglected background. She was fearful, submissive, and untrained when I first brought her home. Through consistent training, positive reinforcement, and a calm, stable environment, she gradually became a confident, obedient, affectionate, and deeply trusting companion. She is now 15 years old and remains a living example of the patience and care I bring to every animal I work with. This experience has taught me how to read animal behavior, build trust with nervous or reactive dogs, and adapt care to each pet’s unique needs. Whether it’s helping a young dog learn structure and good habits or providing comfort and routine for senior dogs, I focus on creating a safe, loving, and balanced environment where every pet feels secure and understood. I pick up shifts bartending but I cant adjust my schedule around sitting others dogs. I will be free when needed so no worries there. I have a nice size balcony but that the dogs can hangout on if they would like but i also take my girl out often.

“Rachael was punctual, great with communication, and took cute photos of our boys. She seems to have a lot of experience and wasn't intimidated by our younger dog that can be a handful. We look forward to having her come again!”

“Julienne is amazing! She really took the time to make sure my sweet skiddish kitty was comfortable and well cared for. I received lots of updates and pictures which put my mind at ease while I was gone. Will definitely be using her again!”

“I met Surjit in the Peace Corps and since day one she’s shown a tremendous quality of being a dependable friend. She’s charismatic, she’s thoughtful, and she’s an extremely loving caretaker. When my dog Darwin first met her, his eyes lit up and his pupils went wide with love for her as they continue to do so every time they get together and forget I’m even there. She’s one of the very few people who I trust enough to take care of Darwin and they continue to bond in a way I don’t really see with other people since, even though my dog is very cute, I think he knows it and can be a bit antisocial and aloof. But Surjit sees him and fully accepts him for who he is, as I see her do with all pets in her life. I happily endorse Surjit because I know that she does not just see your pet as a dog or a cat, she sees them as individuals with their own personalities, fears, habits, wants, and needs. I happily endorse Surjit because I know that she will, without a doubt, go above and beyond and take care of your pet like she takes care of her own family and friends.”

About: I have taken care of pets since I was little. I have had cats, dogs, chickens, guinea pigs and fish so I’m experienced in all kinds of pet care. I am currently finishing up my second year of my Master’s program and I have free time in the mornings and afternoons every day! I have a fenced yard, and both my dogs are crate trained. We have a big yard with plenty of space for the pets to run around.

About: I don’t have pets of my own due to family reasons, but I’ve been around animals my whole life. I’ve walked and cared for large breeds like a Great Dane and a Husky, and sat for smaller dogs like pugs and Frenchies. I’m comfortable handling dogs of any size and always keep your dog’s safety and comfort as the top priority. I’m currently working part-time, which gives me some flexibility. I’m available for walks early in the morning or late afternoon and drop-ins late afternoon on weekdays, and I’m open for longer sits on weekends in the evening. My house is gated and closed off with a yard, so if needed, that’s a secure option for your pet. I’m very interested in dog training and have experience walking dogs of different sizes and temperaments, so I stay alert and adjust my approach to keep your pet calm and safe.

“James and his family are amazing, highly recommended. They have a great house, were easy to communicate with and overall made us felt very comfortable having them board our diabetic cat.”

“Jessica did an outstanding job with daily drop-ins with our two cats. She was professional, communicative, and flexible - we would highly recommend her to anyone in the Walnut Creek area. The easiest 5-star review I've ever had!”

“Sofia was amazing! 😻 we have an 8yr old boy cat and he’s usually very shy around strangers, but he took to Sofia so much faster than I’d ever seen! She followed all my instructions perfectly and sent us very thorough updates while we were gone. Will definitely be reaching out to her again ☻”

“Elizabeth took great care of our cat while we were away for a few days! She kept us updated and sent us pics. We definitely plan to use her in the future!”

About: I’m a responsible and caring pet lover who truly enjoys spending time with animals. My home is a safe, loving environment where pets receive plenty of attention and care. My partner and I work together to make sure every dog gets the exercise, playtime, and affection they need, so your pet will always have company and lots of love while they’re with us. I am a stay-at-home mom with a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide reliable and attentive care throughout the day. I spend most of my time at home or running local errands, so I can easily fit pet visits, walks, feeding, and playtime into my routine. My partner also has a flexible schedule and is happy to help when needed, allowing us to provide consistent care and attention for your pets. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I will follow your instructions carefully regarding feeding, exercise, medications, and routines to help your pet feel secure and comfortable. I understand that every pet has different needs and personalities, and I will provide patient, loving care while keeping you updated with photos and messages. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to create a safe, stress-free experience.

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I’ve grown up around dogs and cats my entire life, and over the past year I’ve also gained professional pet care experience working under a pet care company, where I’ve learned the importance of safe, attentive, and personalized care for every animal. My experience goes beyond just dogs and cats — I’ve cared for birds, geckos, bunnies, and pets with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. Through my work, I’ve learned how important it is to pay attention to behavioral changes and body language so pets feel safe, comfortable, and understood. I also have experience administering insulin injections for diabetic pets, handling strong pullers during walks, and caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments — from energetic puppies to calm seniors. Whether your pet is shy, playful, anxious, high-energy, or needs a little extra patience, I always do my best to care for them with love, gentleness, and attention. I truly treat every pet like they’re my own and want owners to feel confident knowing their pets are in caring and capable hands. I currently work part-time in professional pet care during the mornings Monday–Friday, where I visit multiple homes each day to care for pets. Because of this, my schedule is already very pet-focused and flexible. I typically start early and finish around 12–1 PM, which leaves the rest of my day open for walks, drop-ins, extended care, playtime, companionship, or overnight stays. Since my work revolves around caring for animals, I’m also used to planning my schedule around pets’ individual needs and routines. If your pet needs early morning feeding, medication at specific times, potty breaks, extra companionship, or a more customized schedule, I’m happy to communicate and work something out whenever possible. I understand how important consistency is for pets, especially those with anxiety, medical needs, or strong routines, so I always do my best to provide dependable and attentive care while keeping owners updated along the way. Weekends are generally flexible for me as well, and I always try my best to accommodate what your pet needs to feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. At this time, I only offer care in clients’ homes rather than my own. While my dogs are very friendly and social, I personally prefer caring for pets in the environment they already know and feel comfortable in. I believe staying in their familiar space can help reduce stress and keep their routines as normal as possible while their owners are away. Through my professional pet care experience, I’ve learned how important it is to enter a pet’s home calmly, respectfully, and safely. I’m always careful when entering and exiting homes to prevent pets from slipping out the door, especially with anxious, curious, or high-energy pets. I also understand that every animal reacts differently to new people, so I always approach pets patiently and at their own comfort level. When arriving, I usually speak softly, call the pet by their name, and allow them to approach me at their own pace so they can feel safe and reassured. I pay close attention to body language and behavior to help me understand what a pet may need emotionally and physically during my visit. I also follow any routines, feeding schedules, medication instructions, walk preferences, or household rules closely because I know consistency is important for a pet’s comfort and wellbeing. My goal is always to provide a calm, safe, loving, and trustworthy experience for both pets and their owners.

About: I understand that our pets are our family, so I always aim to care for them with the same empathy and patience that you do. I dedicated my career to becoming an experienced animal welfare professional because I love animals so much! I started working in veterinary settings, then handled rescue intakes and studied dog training. This background gave me the unique ability to truly understand cat and dog body language, ensuring they always feel secure and understood. Whether its managing large dog playgroups or administering basic medical care, I am highly experienced and comfortable with all sizes, ages, and temperaments. I’m also happy to assist with any other unique pets in your household! I have experience working with exotics in vet clinics but I love all creatures and am happy to care for any non-traditional pets. I look forward to giving your animals a fun, loving, and mentally stimulating routine (: My current work schedule will allow me to be available mornings and early afternoons every Monday through Friday. Generally, anywhere from 7 am - 1 pm. I grew up with animals my whole life and often helped take care of them. Their happiness and love means the world to me, so I always make sure they’re fulfilled. Spending quality time together is important, I love cuddling or just hanging out with them whenever and wherever. I will follow their feeding schedule and always stay alert to make sure I’m there if they need me, so you can rest assured that your beloved babies will be treated well when you’re away.

About: Hi there! I have taken care of 5+ different families pets that include dogs, cats, reptiles, birds, etc! I love taking care of dogs & cats especially and have experience in pets of all ages. I also have experience in emergency situations with elderly pets, that called for immediate vet attention, puppy emergencies of all sorts, and even reactive pets. I develop a deep care for animals and prioritize learning each and every pets personality and needs. My professional work consists of freelance work, so in between I love to surround myself with animals and nature. A lot of the time my freelance work is done from my computer. To balance that out, I frequently go out into nature as part of my routine when time allows so for those who have pets who need outdoor time, I'm a great fit for you! As long as I have my cup of joe, and my laptop I'm a pretty easy going person! My approach to taking care and building a trusting relationship with your pet would focus on prioritizing their needs by learning their personalities. Some pets who have separation anxiety require a lot of affection, some who are high energy require a bit more exercise, and some who need mental stimulation just need exposure to different smells or visual stimulation! It just depends on what your pet needs.

“I was so thankful for Melissa to be watching Poppy again! I came back to a happy cat. I know my cat is in excellent hands with Melissa watching her.”

About: I love caring for dogs. Short or long walks, playing at the park or in their yard. When they are happy it makes me happy. Feeding time or treats always on owners timeline! I am currently not working so available to be with your pet all day! Feedings, walks, whatever is needed they will feel safe and happy. I like to care for pets in their own home where they feel most comfortable. I will be able to keep them on their daily schedules where they feel safe.
