Cat Sitting in Atherton

About: I'm retired, so I'm available most of the time. I have worked with two different German Shepherd Rescues as a foster mom. I also volunteer at the local regional animal shelter. I have helped train many dogs over the years. I also have quite a bit of cat experience, as well as birds, fish and reptiles, I enjoy cats, and find that they are all very unique. I enjoy being a pet sitter, providing safety and love for them while their parents are away. I offer FREE MEET & GREETS! (A Meet & Greet is necessary for the first visit, no exceptions) I have many reviews in my profile from past sitting jobs. I am retired and available as noted on my calendar. I make every attempt to feed dogs and cats at the same time as the owners. I find that keeping pets on a schedule helps them to feel safe and comfortable when their owners are away. My dog, Sky, is AKC "Star Puppy" and "Advanced Obedience" trained. I have a strong skill set for helping anxious dogs. I understand how to keep a pet engaged, both in general play and affection.

About: Animal-lover who started volunteering with rescues over a decade ago. Experienced with dogs, including reactive dogs(I have one of my own), cats, birds, and various other pets. Feel free to share the training commands you'd like to work on with your pet and I will try to work them in where I can during my visit. I will treat your pets like my own(my dog is incredibly loved and spoiled) Currently working freelance so my schedule is flexible. Able to work most visits into my schedule without issue, but if there's a visit that won't work, you'll know as soon as I do so other arrangements can be made Only open to dropping by and house-sitting bookings at the moment because my own dog can be reactive and we currently live with a cat, but I'm a great caretaker and a top choice for my friends when they need a sitter. Responsible, reliable, and focused on giving your pet the best care possible for their needs

“Chigozirim did a great job coming and taking care of my cat. She gave him lots of cuddles and did everything I asked. I would recommend her, if you need someone to drop in on your pet 😊”

About: Animals have always naturally gravitated toward me, and caring for them has been something I’ve loved for as long as I can remember. I provide a calm, patient, and loving environment where pets can feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I’ll treat them like they’re part of my own family. I have a flexible schedule during the week and make my own work hours, which allows me to accommodate a variety of pet care needs throughout the day. Whether your pet needs walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, or some extra company while you’re away, I’ll make sure they feel loved, comfortable, and well cared for. I understand how important it is to trust someone caring for your pet and entering your home. I provide dependable, loving, and attentive care while making sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for in their familiar environment. I’m happy to help with walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and giving your furry friend extra attention while you’re away. I’ve cared for animals for many years and genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality and needs.

“This was my first time using Rover and Mya made the experience amazing! I will definitely be using her again. My dog is very shy and not good with strangers but Mya took her time to be patient and calming. My dog started warming up to her very fast and I belive dogs have a good judge of character ;)”

“We went on vacation for the first time since the pandemic started and needed someone we could trust to take care of our kitties. Kat does a wonderful job, sent thorough updates (which were greatly appreciated), helped our cats keep up their routine and made them comfortable even though they were missing their humans. Thank you, Kat!”

“Olivia gives us great peace of mind when we travel. She's utterly reliable, arriving on time and sending pictures every day. Our shy cat warmed right up to her and was happy and healthy when we got home. Olivia is a natural animal person.”

About: I have hands on, everyday experience caring for four Golden Retrievers of my own. Managing a multi dog household has given me skills in canine schedule structure, supervision, and understanding of different personalities and energy levels. I also have experience caring for infant puppies, including feeding schedules, potty training foundations, crate introduction, and the patience that can sometimes be needed during those important early development stages. I’m comfortable maintaining routines, reinforcing basic training, and providing both high-energy play and calm, attentive care. Your pet will be treated like part of my family: safe, loved, and well cared for! I work remotely full time, so I am very flexible and am able to meet you and your schedule requests, whether it be for in-home visits, walk outing, or overnight stays. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I follow all feeding schedules, potty breaks, exercise routines, and any specific instructions closely to make sure your pet feels comfortable and secure in their familiar environment. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, and affection while also reinforcing any training or household rules you have in place. I’m respectful of your home, keep everything clean and organized, and always send regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.

About: As a proud pet owner and animal lover of almost 20 years, I will treat and care for your pets as if they were my own. I have grown up around all different sorts of animals my entire life, and I feel as though it's time to invest all of that experience and time into other pets. I am capable of feeding, house sitting, dog and cat sitting, dog walking, and understanding pet queues. I am very enthusiastic, sensitive, calm, and reliable. I take pride in being trustworthy and loving when it comes to your four-legged family members. I am able to understand that each pet is unique. So, to compensate for that, I am able to adapt to exactly what your pets need and want. I work full time, but that doesn’t stop me from being the best that I can be for your furry friends! I get just as excited as they do to see them every day! I always strive to be loving and caring towards pets. I view them as true members to any family! In my home, our dogs are allowed on couches and to lay in the bed! I also make sure to not overstep - it’s the pets (and yours) home first!

About: Hello! My name is Jennifer! I used to go to animal shelters and volunteer in the cat houses and then switch off to walk dogs to help them get the exercise they need. Having used to work at a Petsmart and a doggy daycare, I have experience with dog handling from the trainers and lots of experience keeping dogs entertained while their parents looked around for their next squeaky toy and treats! I have house sat many times for people with cats and dogs for either days or weeks at a time. I would be a fun and bubbly personality to hang out with your animals for a little bit to take them on walks around the block, the park, or wherever you want your pets to see! I have several years of reliable pet care experience. I work full time but am able to take animals out with me while I am at work! My wife and I have our evenings free to take care of and love your animals! I am very flexible and trustworthy in the pet parent’s homes. I do have other animals, so it’s important that if I care in home, that they are okay with other animals!. Other than that, I have a dog who LOVES to play with other dogs!

“Jessica is wonderful with our active kitty. She plays with him to get some of that energy out. She gives him the loving that he needs while we are away. She does everything you ask her to do. I definitely recommend Jessica.”

About: While I don't have formal experience, I've spent my whole life taking care of pets at home. I've even raised our current pups from puppies to adulthood, handling everything from feeding to playtime. My goal is to treat every pet like part of the family. I'm currently a college student down in Springfield, but whenever I'm back in town for breaks or summer, I will have a fairly flexible schedule! I'm available on the weekends, evenings, and soon to be during the weekdays as well! Every pet deserves the family treatment! I'm careful to follow their set routines and rules - whether it's playtime, feeding, or crate time. Your pet's safety always comes first!

“Thank you, Hunter for looking after our Lily while we were gone. You are a blessing in our lives for sure. We didn't have to worry about a thing on our vacation.”

“Kristina was wonderful! She loved my dog and you could tell she loves all animals! My vacation was extended, unexpectedly, due to an hospital admission. and she even picked up the extra shifts which helped alleviate my stress immensely. So I highly recommend Kristina!”

“Jacqueline is outstanding! She took great care of our furbabies while we were out of town. She gave medication as prescribed and sent us pictures along with a report card every visit. Thank you so much, Jacqueline!!”

About: I have a stubborn Pitbull that I've trained for service animal work. I'm not scared of any specific breeds! I also have had cats my entire life! I love giving cuddles. My baby is allergic to everything so I am also very familiar with allergies. Walking isn't a problem. I prefer pups that are gentle on leashes but am willing to work with the most advanced pullers! I am willing to stay over night if needed. I also prefer people on the night shift as I dont sleep well at night. I follow directions well and I also have to give my boy allergy medication so if that is needed I am not afraid to give them but would prefer a written document stating it is okay for me to give and written directions on how you give the medication *example 1 apoquel tab at what time* I work until 5 but am available after that. I am available on holidays and weekends as well. I work with all breeds. Pitties of course are my favorite Currently my house isn't big enough to have animals stay with me. I prefer coming out to your house where the dog or cat is familiar.

“Gabby did great with Tess. She arrived on time. She sent pictures and a status update of what they did. We were pleased and we'll use Gabby again.”

“We need a drop-in ASAP, same day and a short notice. Someone was supposed to let our dogs out and canceled last minute! We were soooo lucky and blessed to have such a reliable person to go check our babies! They made sure to let us know if something seemed off about one of our babies and made sure to ask if it was normal! I couldn’t recommend them more!”
