Cat Sitting Bolinas

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats of different breeds and personalities since I was 11. I understand and respect the owners wishes on care, communication, and cost. Depending upon the care needs of thr pet(s), I work my daily schedule around. My daily schedule is tea, work, breakfast, work, lunch, work, coffee, walk, dinner. I work remotely for my start up (your life ........) Whether it’s dogs or cat, I adhere to safety guidelines of the owners: Guidelines on food do and don’t, walking schedule and paths, sleeping arrangements and timings.

About: Hi! I’m a dedicated animal lover with two cats of my own, and I absolutely adore caring for pets of all kinds. Whether you have energetic dogs that need daily walks and playtime, independent kitties who want some extra snuggles, or any other furry (or scaly!) friends, I’m experienced and confident giving them the attentive, affectionate care they deserve. While you’re away, I’ll keep your pets happy and comfortable in their familiar environment, stick to their normal routines, provide plenty of love and exercise, and make sure your home stays safe and tidy. You can relax knowing your beloved companions are in trustworthy, caring hands! I work from home with a flexible schedule, so I’m highly available for drop-ins, overnight stays, and house sitting whenever you need me. Your pets will always receive prompt and attentive care! I prioritize your pets’ safety and well-being above all else. In your home, I follow your exact instructions and routines to the letter — from feeding schedules and medication to favorite toys and walk routes. I’m a responsible, non-smoker with a clean background, and I treat your space with the same care as my own.

About: I have volunteered at Humane Societies with all kinds of pets because animals are my passion, and have had pets for almost 30 years. I currently have had a wonderful cat named Latte for 6 years and I couldn't live without her. I am available during the day to walk your dog or take it to play at a dog park, or check in on your cat and give it plenty of love, food, and attention. I make sure the pets I look after are cared for like my own, and their safety, comfort, and security are a top concern of mine.

“What a life saver for our family this past weekend! Could not have had a better experience with our kitty Curt 🙏🏻💕”

About: I’ve cared for my family friends' dogs while they were away, which helped me understand the importance of building trust with both pets and owners. I am currently enrolled in school on weekends and trade school in evening. I and available during weekday mornings and afternoons to provide reliable dog sitting services. My cats are indoor-only, and my dog enjoys a large backyard for play. Due to my cats' territorial nature, it might be challenging to accommodate other animals in my home.

“Amber is an excellent cat sitter. She is responsible, on time, and got along great with my cat Jimi. I was very careful in selecting someone to take care of my cat and am happy to have chosen Amber. I'm planning to hire her again the next time I go out of town.”

About: Hi, my name is Patrick and I’ve always had a love for dogs. Growing up, I spent a lot of time caring for family pets, which taught me responsibility, patience, and how much joy animals can bring to everyday life. I enjoy spending time outdoors, whether that’s going on walks, hikes, or simply playing fetch at the park. Pets have always been a big part of my life, and I truly enjoy being around them. Pet care fits easily into my routine. I’m at school Mon–Thurs evenings, but free Thurs night–Sun all day for walks, playtime, care, or house sitting! At home, I care for my 8-month-old puppy with my partner in our clean and organized 3-bed, 2-bath home. I keep things off the floor to create a safe, tidy space, and we also have a fenced backyard with lots of flowers and plants for pets to enjoy. In a client’s home, I follow their routines closely to make sure pets feel comfortable and well cared for.

“Melina was great! Very flexible with my last minute drop in request. My dogs loved her and she took great care of them. Went above and beyond in a rain storm to make sure their paws were dry and the floors were not muddy. Checked in regularly and made me feel at ease knowing my dogs were taken care of.”

About: I have 20 years experience with bully breeds, and all the health issues that entails, but I’m open to sitting any breed (they are all good dogs!). I live at the beach, so your pup will get long beach walks and/or mountain trail hikes during the day, then sleepy downtime at night. It’s a pet paradise! Update 2/26: I just adopted a mastiff, so I’m not doing any in home boarding until I get her settled in her new home, but I’m still happy to do drop ins or walks for other dogs. Your dog will enjoy morning beach walks or trail hikes, or walks in a stroller if your pet has mobility issues. Daylight hours are spent being active, and evenings are resto-relaxo. I have a fenced and private front and backyard with fake grass for your pet to use. No stairs to navigate - single level home a block from the ocean. Just tell me your dogs energy level and exercise needs, and I’ll create the perfect doggy vacation!

“Ellen was great! Very communicative, punctual, and professional. I appreciated her updates and photos of Obi from their walks!”

About: I am experienced in caring for dogs of all ages (I am always the go-to friend to dogs and housesit). Our family has an 8-year-old doodle named Stela, so I understand the importance of proper care and daily walks. Additionally, I have a good intuition regarding dogs and can sense if something is wrong or if we should cross the street because the owner doesn't want their dog to meet another one. As a responsible pet owner, I prioritize daily care and exercise. I ensure fresh water is available throughout the day and take regular breaks for bathroom walks. Weekly routines include walks, playing and thorough cleaning of their living spaces. I also schedule regular veterinary check-ups and maintain a consistent schedule for preventative medications. Hi there! Just wanted to let you know that I take a proactive approach when it comes to communicating with clients. As soon as I arrive at the house, I send a quick text message to let them know I'm there. Throughout the day, I also provide one or two status updates to keep them in the loop and reassured that everything is going well with their pet. And of course, I always make sure to leave the home clean and tidy. Thanks for choosing me as your pet sitter!

About: Hi, this is Bryan! I have a 5 year-old Yorkie boy (and a cat). We go on walks 3-4 times a day, we clean our face, paws, pp, and butt after each walk. While my dog is a couch-potato when he’s with me, he enjoys meeting and playing with other dogs, big or small. Hair brushing can be therapeutic. My professional background is Marketing, Branding, and Communications. So communication is a big thing for me. I like clear instructions, asking questions, providing updates, etc. Look forward to connecting and helping you with your fur babies! I’m currently a full-time stay home pet parent. So my schedule is highly flexible. It would be great if my 8 lb Yorkie can tag along, but not a must. Also, it would be ideal if I can reserve 3-5 hours/day away from your house during house sitting, to run errands or grab dinner with my husband. Let’s chat and find out the best schedule that works for us. Communications is key. I’m willing to accommodate your requests in taking special care for your pet because you know them the best, and each pet has their own likes and dislikes.

About: Dogs are the light of my life! I've given forever homes to 7 German Shepherds, 2 Poodles and 4 Mixes. I've had extensive experience caring for them through various illnesses & am very knowledgeable about both their physical and emotional needs. I trained all of them myself with modernizing the methods as the practices changed over time. In High School I worked for a veterinary clinic washing dogs and administering vaccines as well as meds. I was a teacher for 20 years and am super resourceful. I've always had dogs. For me, life would be empty without them, and I'm one of these crazy people who would do absolutely anything to meet their needs!! You can definitely trust that I'll do everything to give your dog the best!! I LOVE DOGS & CATS!! Not to mention horses, ponies and rabbits! I love to house sit and spend my time with any wonderful canine or animal! They'll be given the absolute best of care and companionship when I'm there 24/7 the rest of the week! I'm a retired teacher of 20 years, in great physical condition, and want to do this full time. I LOVE DOGS AND CATS!! I've always worked in the helping professions as a teacher and behavioral case manager for the homeless. Now I want to do what means the most to me....spend my time with animals and give them the best experience possible!! Number 1, follow the directions of the client relative to their animals. Number 2, be respectful of their environment. Number 3, do all the extras possible for the animals including companionship. Number 4, leave the house as nice as it was on my arrival date.

“Renee has been great with our cats! Highly recommend!”

I am a current post-grad student with a fairly open schedule! I am available for drop ins, to care for them from your home and have them at my house. I have a fenced yard and a car as well for transportation. The not only safety of your pet but stability and sense of love is very important to me.

About: Providing a safe and fun experience for your buddy is my goal. I’ll personalize your pet’s care to suit individual needs and give you peace of mind knowing your pet is in reliable, experienced hands. I am a retired animal control professional with over 40 years of caring for animals in diverse situations. I’m an avid hiker and walker and will give your dog the appropriate excercise, catering to each dog’s needs and suited to their age and energy level. Fun, safe and positive walks can be combined with outings to local dog parks so your dog can enjoy the benefits of superfized socialization. You’ll feel good knowing your pup is in great hands and getting the full attention of a professional who truly cares.

“Pat was an incredible help for my family! Pat helped with drop in visits to take care of my cat while my husband and I were in the hospital to give birth to our baby! Pat was flexible and understanding of the schedule changes, and most importantly she gave us a peace of mind — her updates and pictures of my cat Risa showed clearly that even though we had to leave her for almost a week, she was doing great and I didn’t need to stress! All of that in an extremely bad heatwave — Pat made sure to turn on fans and bring Risa to a room with AC on. Pat also made sure to text both my husband and me on Rover, so we both could get the updates. She checked in on us too, which we appreciated! In the few days that Pat helped us we felt like we had a trustworthy and caring friend and that something that is so rare to find! Thank you, Pat!”

“Last time we went away, we used a non-professional catsitter who , due to a family emergency, was only able to visit once in 4 days. This time, we loved getting photos of our cat weaving her way between Em's legs, nuzzling her face, etc. during twice-a-day visits. We were so glad to know that our kitty was fed and watered and that she had used her litterbox and it was not filthy (the rest of the house was quite dirty and messy, and we are very sorry about that and grateful that our catsitter fulfilled her obligation despite that). Thank you so much, Emily!”
