Cat Sitting Bethany Park

“Alysa was great! She always arrived within our scheduled window and never forgot to send pictures. She came by to meet my cats before my trip and asked great questions. We'll definitely book with Alysa again!”

“Nora is a GIFT! About a year ago my now 14 year-old cat Riley abruptly lost a significant amount of weight and bloodwork showed some kind of significant liver event though nothing was evident in an XRAY or ultrasound. He was prescribed two ongoing medications to support his liver & reduce inflammation; a small pill that needs to absorb during a fast (no food for 2 hours before and 1 hour after) and a liquid medication that needs to be given with food. In addition to the with/without food medications complexity, successfully pilling a cat every day requires a deft hand—pretty straightforward for someone who’s good at it, increasingly difficult each day for anyone who isn’t. Add to the equation both Riley and his brother Ash are initially shy with strangers. All things considered to me the situation seemed like a complicated ask for a pet sitter, so over the past year I hadn’t gone away on any trips longer than 2-3 days. In the face of a terminal illness diagnosis in my direct family I came to terms with having to hope for the best using a pet sitter for an 8 day family vacation though I was very concerned about how Riley would be affected by the extended change in routine. Enter Nora; highly intelligent, highly *attuned* (to the pets & the people), instantly trustworthy, and very gracious, a rare combination of total professionalism & grounded compassion. Though Nora was only here for about an hour each day her presence *visibly improved* Riley’s health. I didn’t know it was possible to come home from being away for 8 days to find Riley noticeably fluffier and more energetic than when I left, but that’s the magic that unfolded under Nora’s care. She also sent me pictures of Riley and Ash every day and let me know how they were each doing, sharing her sophisticated curiosity & creativity getting Riley to eat more and Ash to gradually come out of his shyness with clear warmth towards both of them. It’s extremely clear Nora *truly cares* and is keenly observant and exceptionally competent, a combination that made it possible for me to relax so much more on my trip. I’m very grateful to have found her. Thank YOU so much Nora. TBC 💗🐈🐈‍⬛🧘‍♀️”

About: I'm an actor who brings passion to everything I do. I want to run or play fetch or scratch the bellies of any and all the beautiful pups out there! Dogs have been apart of my life since I was 7, when we took in a stray basset hound named Scarlett. She was a kindred old soul. Because I travel a lot for work, I'm unable to have my own, but this is the next best thing! I've watched Chihuahuas and Golden Retrievers, old dogs barely able to leave the house and little pups who never wanted to stay inside. I've found that Black Labs are great to run lines with and Huskies actually love the sun! Whatever the needs, whatever the occasion, I am ready and game! I am a working freelance actor and writer for stage, film, and TV so my schedule is quite varied depending on what project I am working on at any given time. This does allow for a lot of flexibility in my routine. I have a deep passion for animal care and I can ensure that your pets will be as loved as possible while you are away.

“Melanie did a great job. I appreciate the photos and notes.”

“Sara was amazing with our three cats when we went out of town. She spent time playing with all of them even our grumpy hard to find kitty. She kept us updated on the weather so we could make sure they kept cool during a surprise heatwave and made sure we knew all the changes in the house while we were gone. I highly recommend her to care for your pets, she truly treats them as her own.”

About: I have had dogs all my life! I pet sat for puppies, senior dogs, large dogs (80+ pounds), and tiny chihuahuas. I have also worked with anxious-aggressive dogs and can work with you to get your pet care. I work Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday from 7am -5:30 pm. Otherwise, I am flexible and I’m good at going with the flow. I want to make sure both you and your pet feel safe. Pets are family and I want you to know they are in good hands! I can make sure your pet care is to your standards. I also always send pictures!

“Vanessa is simply the best! We left our elderly cat, Maya, in Vanessa's care for 17 days, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. When Maya had an unexpected emergency requiring a vet visit and a prescription, Vanessa handled everything calmly and effortlessly, and we never had to worry. She kept us updated throughout our trip with videos and emails, so we always knew how Maya was doing. When we got home, our house was spotless, and Maya was happy and well cared for. Having someone this reliable, caring, and attentive made all the difference. We highly recommend Vanessa without hesitation and will absolutely be booking her again!”

About: I have sixteen 5 star reviews on Trusted House Sitters (along with my wife Allison who joins me on most dog and cat sits.) We have taken care of dogs of various sizes as well as a lot of cats. We both work remotely which makes us very flexible for pet care. I can work remotely from anywhere on my laptop (part time!) which allows me plenty of time to care for your dog or cat. After my years as a Trusted House Sitter, my goal is to spend most of my time dedicated to caring for animals as they are my passion so they will be my number one priority! I care for your pets in your home, I will be in most of the day working online so they will get plenty of potty breaks and attention. I am always available to contact and will make sure you receive photos and updates multiple times a day.

About: I’m a 22 year old college graduate looking to fulfill her hopes of pet setting once again! Being a full time student meant busy weeks, leaving no time for pet care. Something I actively did before transferring to UCSC. But with this newfound, post-graduate freedom, I’m eager to get back into the gig. Besides caring for my own kitties, I’ve worked with 7 clients over the past four years. All of which have been dog sitting gigs, with one job including an additional 3 cats (if that makes sense haha). And in my time as a sitter I’ve had four consistent clients. Additionally, I’m more than willing to sit for most dogs/ cats regardless of age, size, energy level, etc. It is my job (and such a privilege) to ensure their needs are met! Worth a mention - I’ve not had any experience in pet training, but I’m committed to being the best companion to the little loves! I can’t wait to connect with you and your fur-babies! I’m hoping to fill my week days (which are fairly open as of late) with pet care! Connecting with animals is truly such a rewarding job. Knowing I can make your life easier, and also that your pets are happy fills my heart with oodles of joy. My housing agreement unfortunately states that I can’t allow pets on to the premises. However, I’m extremely comfortable staying in/ visiting other spaces. Being respectful of your space is one of my top priorities.

About: Hello! My name is Anna, and I am currently studying to become a veterinarian in Santa Cruz, CA. I have worked professionally with animals for the past nine years and always treat every fur baby as if they are my own. I have built this experience through my independent pet-sitting business, my four years as a sales consultant at Pet Food Express, and my volunteer work as a cat and kitten socializer at a local shelter. I am also a mama to both my wonderful cat, Lemon, and my 16-year-old dog, Leo! I am currently very flexible with my schedule and am available for both day and overnight pet sitting. I strive not only to make your pet(s) feel as comfortable as possible, but also to help every owner feel as though they left their pet in the right hands. I love to provide as many updates and photos of your fur baby as you may want! I have the most experience with cats and dogs, but I do have limited experience with reptiles as well. I have additionally worked with animals of all temperaments, and I understand that new faces can be anxiety-inducing for some. I will always tailor each experience specifically to the needs of your animal and what will help bring them the most happiness :) Specific areas of expertise for me that may not be found elsewhere include caring for senior pets and animals who may have special needs. Through my studies, I have developed a strong foundation in primary veterinary concerns and how to properly care for an animal when they may not be feeling their best. As a current undergraduate student who pet-sits as my primary job, I am very flexible and open to caring for your animals! At most, I drive up to campus once a day for approximately two hours in the afternoon. I leave the rest of my day open to keeping your fur baby the best possible company. Pet safety is always my number one priority! I currently live in an apartment complex that contains a fenced yard, a dog park directly behind my apartment, and plenty of dog-friendly walking trails nearby. Our apartment is fairly spacious, and I have found that animals tend to love the large windows and amount of light we receive. For cats, I always ensure that all windows and doors are locked, and there are no possible escape routes (I know how sneaky cats can be)! I do currently have a very friendly cat living with me.

“Heather did a great job looking after my dog for a week long trip. My dog is older and required unique treatment which Heather was very supportive of. Highly recommended.”

“Marley looked after our cats during an extended vacation and it was such a relief knowing they were in good hands and being checked on regularly by someone we trust.”

About: I've cared for pets since I was 12. Growing up in a family with so many different critters has given me such a deep connection to caring for animals. I've cared for dogs, cats, reptiles, ferrets, and other rodents. I feel extremely confident in my animal care skills. I am currently not in school. I'll have a part-time job, so I will have plenty of time for pet care. Spending time with animals brings me so much joy! I am a very responsible individual. When in a client's home, I will respect it like my own. Getting to know how and what I need to do is very important to me and will be followed through.

About: I have been pet sitting for the past 3 years using Trusted House sitters. But grew up with dogs, have lived with cats the last 10 years and love being around all types of animals! I have watched a variety of pet with a range of needs. I love learning about the unique personality each animal has! I work a completely remote job as designers from 7 am - 3 pm PST. During these times, I have sporadic meetings, but nothing that would take me away from watching your animal for over nights. I am a flexible and great at adapting to different schedules and routines. I am an active person so am able to go for walks, hikes or runs based on your dogs needs. I am a naturally tidy person and I will leave your home exactly in the state as when you left. I am available to watch any type of pet in your home! I only can accept dogs in my home. I live on farm with a fenced in yard but outside of that there’s a lot of space to roam. I live with 3 other roommates who are also animal lovers. We live with a cat but he is outside most of the day and feels quite indifferent about dogs.

About: There hasnt been a time in my life where I havent been around dogs or any animals! I am good at training dogs as well as taking them on walks all around. I love taking dogs on hikes to the beach or river or any place I know they would love! I currently live at home as I am in between my graduation and starting my second degree! So I have lots of free time! We have dogs and cats at home so I take care of them at home as well I do not have the capabilities to provide home service at this moment. I expect that to change within the next year however I would be providing services at your home!

“Another terrific set of services from Denise while we were on vacation. All went well and smoothly. Denise sent us pics, which our other pet-sitter did not, and we enjoyed (and felt comforted) seeing that all was well while we were away. Thanks for your help, Denise!”

About: I’ve taken care of many different types of cats and dogs for nearly 10 years. I currently have two dogs and two cats in my home where I live right now. I am well versed in caring for animals, and love them very much! I have been working as a professional pet and house sitter for nearly two years now as a source of income. I’ve always had a beautiful harmonious relationship with all animals. I have a 5 Star rating on trusted house sitters with 10 public reviews. I can’t post the link here because of rover’s restrictions, but I’d be happy to share with you. My schedule is flexible, as I work sometimes as a substitute elementary school teacher, yoga teacher, and a babysitter. I also have my own small business! I am usually able to be very available to care for pets during most hours of the day. I provide care in whatever way is needed and makes the animals and their owners most comfortable. When housesitting, I prefer to stay overnight with the animals, to ensure the best care for the animals. I am respectful of the space I am in and have had many reviews from people I’ve sat for that I leave their homes cleaner than when they left :)

“Gemma was wonderful with Georgia! So caring and sweet! She immediately understood Georgia and took care of all of her needs!”

“She was wonderful with our sweet kitty!! And she left the house clean and tidy. We got excellent updates and had great communication. She’s a delight of a person.”
