Cat Sitting in Alvadore

About: Having a lifetime's worth of caring for my own pets gives me a wealth of experience and knowledge with critters of all shapes and sizes. Family, friends, and neighbors have entrusted me to feed, play with, and even just check in on their pets and homes since I was a child. When you can't be there, I am happy to make sure your buddy gets all the love, attention, exercise, and affection they deserve. Rest assured that whether your pet is an old friend or a new addition, I will provide customized care - from snuggles to medication, walks to post-surgical care, and everything in between! I have a very flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time to play with your pet(s)! My availability includes regularly scheduled visits and drop ins are welcome. I can also be available on short notice. I enjoy providing conscientious, customized, and individualized care. Please share with me any favorite games, treats, and rewards! Trust, safety, satisfaction, and attention to detail are my highest priorities.

About: I recently moved back in to the area from California. We are still getting our bearings off the city and finding new places to play and explore As a disabled veteran and single mom, i am home most of the time, outside of some time at the gym or taking my 3 year old to the park. She loves animals, is quite gentle, and is never just left with animals alone. She tends to be helpful in filling Lola's bowl with water and food and tossing a treat to show some love. If kids are not okay, I am child free Saturday through Sunday afternoons, for those times when you need to be doggy free. Fresh water is provided inside and out on the deck to bask, as well as a constant eye when not out for a walk. I tend to avoid dog parks with other people's pets under my watch, I'd prefer to maintain a safe and predictable environment.

“Great job caring for my Nico! Gave him the potty break and energy release he needed during my long work days! Will be using in the future for sure! Thank you again for all your help, and being so helpful!”

“This is the second time we’ve hired Amelia and my wife and I couldn’t be happier! Amelia provided plenty of really good pictures of our dog Athena and communicated throughout the entire booking!”

About: I have extensive experience working with anxious dogs and understand the patience, and gentle approach they require. As both a veterinary professional and the owner of an anxious dog, I am skilled at building trust to help nervous pets feel safe and comfortable in my care. Senior dogs are another area where I have significant experience! I understand the importance of maintaining medication schedules and am comfortable administering a variety of medications. My background in veterinary medicine has given me the knowledge and confidence to care for pets with unique medical and behavioral needs. Whether your dog is anxious, highly energetic, affectionate, independent, or a little bit stubborn, I want to providing care that meets their individual needs while ensuring they feel secure, comfortable, and well cared for. Thursday through Sunday, I have full availability and can provide attentive care throughout the day. I also send regular photo updates and messages so you can feel confident that your pet is happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Monday through Wednesday, I work 12-hour shifts. During those days, I am available for overnight stays and can complete potty breaks and daily care before work (around 6:00 AM), during my lunch break (approximately 12:00–1:00 PM), and after work (around 8:00 PM). water is always available and refreshed regularly. I am highly accustomed to following structured feeding and medication schedules. You can trust that your pet's meals and medications will be given on time following your instructions! I enjoy providing plenty of affection and attention to pets who seek it. Whether your dog loves to be out playing fetch or prefers a little more relaxing, I adjust my care to their individual personality and comfort level. Communication is a priority for me. I typically provide photo and text updates every 1–2 hours so you can stay updated on your pet while you're away. If you prefer fewer updates, I am happy to accommodate your preferences.

“Rebecca was amazing, she went above and beyond while taking care of our dogs and cats! We will definitely be using her services again in the future!”

About: We've taken care of dogs for many years. Neighbors and friends rely on us to walk, drop in on, and host their pups. We currently don't have a dog of our own and cherish each of our guests that much more! I work in a home office in the yard and my husband is home all day. We have all the day to keep your pup occupied and when our 2 kids get home from school, your dog will get playtime, loving, petting, walking, and more snuggling! We have a fully fenced yard and welcome your pet anywhere in the house. We live in a lovely neighborhood with lots of green space to run and play.

“Kelsie did a great job of taking care of Gypsy. She was very communicative and supplied photos. Would definitely keep her in mind for future care.”

About: What sets me apart as a sitter is how attentive and patient I am with animals. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and comfort level so they feel safe and relaxed while their owner is away. I’m very reliable, detail-oriented, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m especially gentle with nervous or shy pets and make sure they get plenty of reassurance, exercise, and affection at their own pace. I’m comfortable following specific feeding schedules, administering basic care as instructed, and keeping owners updated with messages and photos so they have peace of mind. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel happy, cared for, and loved in a calm, positive environment. Pet care fits well into my weekly routine. I attend college on Mondays and Wednesdays, am mostly home and available on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and available Fridays until the evening. I work short weekend shifts but remain flexible for pet care before and after work. I live in an apartment with two cats and maintain a calm, clean, and safe environment. I carefully follow feeding, exercise, and medication instructions, give pets plenty of attention, and adjust care based on their comfort level. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their routines, keep spaces tidy, and provide updates so owners feel confident their pets are well cared for.

“Tori was great! Arrived right on time, gave an insulin shot no problem, and spent the rest of the time giving loves and taking cute pictures. We'll absolutely use her services again and would recommend to others!”

“Tyler did an awesome job caring for my cat. He sent a couple pictures and a little blurb summarizing the visit every time and he was always quick to respond to any messages I sent. He also left a kind message on my whiteboard welcoming me back to my home which was lovely after a full day of travel! Thanks Tyler!”

About: About Me Hi, I’m Emily! I’ve had dogs my entire life and quite frankly, I can’t imagine a home without them. I love them so much that if your pup is used to sleeping on the bed, I am more than happy to end up in a giant pile of dog cuddles at night! Of course, if they have strict kennel rules or sleep in their own space, I am incredibly respectful of maintaining your structure and boundaries. My Specialized Experience & Training Philosophy I don’t just watch "easy" dogs—I am deeply confident and experienced with large, powerful breeds and complex behavioral needs. My own rescue is an 80lb powerhouse who is highly reactive toward other animals, especially on walks. Navigating her world means I know exactly how to manage a strong dog under pressure, stay hyper-aware of our surroundings, and maintain absolute control to keep everyone safe. Because of my years spent training my own dog, I am highly comfortable working with a variety of training tools and structures. I am experienced with and confident utilizing prong collars and e-collars (shock collars) if your dog's current training regimen requires them. I firmly believe in consistency, so whatever rules, tools, or boundaries you have established at home are exactly what I will enforce while you're away. What I Offer Whether your dog needs a calm, highly structured environment, a patient handler who can handle a chaotic walk, or just a dedicated companion to watch scary movies with them on the couch, I’ve got you covered. Your pup’s safety, mental peace, and routine are my absolute highest priorities. I can’t wait to meet your furry family member! I’m currently working full time as a mental health/drug and alcohol counselor. My schedule varies - I have weekends off and am typically available all day all night Friday - Saturdays, Sundays I have some home stuff/grocery shopping to take care of but will be able to drop in for visits or even stay some Sunday nights. My job is pretty self paced and mostly remote so I am able to adjust my schedule around my clients. If you're looking for someone who is highly organized and completely unflappable, my background is a perfect fit. I was a full-time nanny for years, successfully managing three young kids alongside all the household cooking, cleaning, and laundry. That experience gave me sharp common sense, an ability to learn complex routines quickly, and a deep respect for house rules. Whether your pets have a meticulous schedule or your home requires extra care, I can seamlessly jump right in—and I’ll gladly help keep the house clean and tidy while I'm there

“Mia was wonderful with our cat and very responsive and always sent a bunch of pictures to us!! It was so sweet she even found out our cats little quirks such as his favorite thing of having a human scratch his scratching post with him haha. She also provided him with his oral steroids throughout. Would recommend Mia to anyone!”

“My pets are always calm and happy when we leave them in Gabriela's care. She is caring and dependable and will send pics and updates, which I appreciate. My dog can be anxious and reactive on leash and she is up for the challenge and gives him what he needs.”

“Amy did a fantastic job with our cat Pepper. She was able to gain his trust and administer his insulin injections while we were away. She is dependable, flexible and a great communicator. Would highly recommend her for all types of pet care.”

About: Hello! My name is Felix, I'm nonbinary, my pronouns are they/them, and I've lived and worked with animals for over a decade! Before entering the working world, my experience came from my own pets. I'm often asked by family, friends, and neighbors to take care of their pets while they're gone. Sometimes even just if they need assistance giving their pup a bath! My experience lies mostly with cats and dogs, but I'm also familiar with reptiles and comfortable with smaller mammals. I've worked in professional petcare with multiple species of animals and as a sitter specifically for about 4 years now. My schedule is currently open! Which means I'm able to dedicate my time to your furbabies! I'm open to staying in your home for the entire time you'll be gone, or I can just pop in for potty breaks and meals. I'm a fast learner and take detailed notes to make sure I won't forget anything! To keep your pets happy, healthy, and safe, not only do I follow instructions to the letter, I pay close attention to your pet to learn their behavior. What makes them happy? What are their boundaries? Every pet is unique. They all have different experiences and personalities. Respect for that fact is the most important part of meeting new animals. I will strive to not only make sure you're comfortable with me caring for your pets, but to ensure your pets are comfortable with me as well.

“Zoe is awesome — my pups love her and she was extra patient with some entry issues (which was my bad). We would absolutely ask her to stop by again!”

About: Hi, my name is Isabella. I'm 19 years old and have had the pleasure of caring for and meeting many fascinating animals, including reptiles, felines, canines, and more. I am an animal enthusiast studying biology and zoology in high school. I have grown up with animals, and to this day, I have had rats, cats, dogs, and birds. I currently don’t work at the moment, which means more time to see your adorable animals! But I am planning to return to college in early September. -My availability is 9am-5pm, Monday-Friday. Since I am home most of my day, I spend a lot of time with my animals. Our routine starts as follows: wet food for herbiee in the morning and for Tutsi FreshPet I refill their water with the coldest and clean the dish every morning. I take Tutsi out and come back to pet Herbert. Usually we just relax and cuddle until it’s time to pick up my boyfriend from work.
