Cat Sitting California

About: I have been pet sitting since I was 16 years old. I am often asked by coworkers of family to house sit during their vacations. I have pet sat dogs, cats, fish, and even chickens! I am comfortable waking, giving medication, and cuddling (my personal favorite), whatever your pup needs! I have two dogs of my own. One of my dogs is a senior and is high need due to his bone cancer. He requires daily medication and will until we are able to remove the leg. My other pup is a rambunctious lab, who is high drive and needs daily stimulation so he doesn’t anger his older brother. I often take him on walks or use the pond near our home to tire him out! I am used to house sitting in all types of homes. If your pup needs a daily walk I am can do that. If they’re an outside pup we can take a walk or even a hike! I stay at the home and don’t leave often. I ask that a physical copy of directions are left so that I can give the 100% proper care and able to contact through phone as well!

“Shelby was an amazing Rover for our cat Stryker! She is very caring and communicative. We loved all of his daily updates and would book her again in a heartbeat!”

About: I have a dog of my own that I take care of sometimes and have dogsat for several families around me for a couple years. I work a part-time job and am involved in extracurriculars, but I will have time as needed on some weekends and time off from school. I always feed the pets, take them outside on walks and nature time or just let them run around, and play with them for a while.

“Abigail was great with our two cats! She gave us peace of mind while traveling and was even able to give our older cat her subcutaneous fluids while we were gone! She let us know how each visit went and sent pictures.”

“Naomi took excellent care of our Kitties! With her knowledge & love for all cats we felt fortunate & confident with our Kitties in her care. Her attention to bringing in the mail & daily photos/videos was an extra bonus! 5🌟 all the way! We will rebook and would highly recommend!”

About: Hi, I’m AJ, a lifelong pet lover with experience caring for dogs and cats. I’ve had pets since childhood and have house-sat for neighbors, family, and friends, ensuring their pets were happy and well cared for. I know how important it is to have peace of mind when leaving your pets and home in someone else’s hands. I’ll provide attentive care, keep your pets happy and comfortable, and ensure your home stays safe and well-maintained. I’m also happy to send regular updates so you always know how things are going. Looking forward to meeting you and your pets—feel free to reach out! My 9-5 job is fully remote, which means I’ll be around to keep your pets company throughout the day. I’m available most days of the week and am happy to travel and stay in your home to ensure your pets feel safe and comfortable in their own space. I live in a quiet, two-bedroom condo with no other pets, making it a comfortable space to board cats and small/medium dogs. Since I work from home, I can provide plenty of attention all day, and take your dogs outside regularly for walks and fresh air. I’m happy to accommodate your pet’s routine, including crating if needed. I also offer house sitting to keep your pets comfortable in their own home while you’re away.

About: I am new to the area! I have had an extensive foster care history over the past 3 years prior to relocating. I adore all fur babies but have the most experience with elder and special needs pups. I love animals, big and small. I have my own sweetheart pup and live with two cat friends (plus a lizard). I work as a nurse. Medication administration is no problem at all if needed as well. Please help cure my foster withdrawal and let me be there for your furry family members! I currently am taking a break from full time nursing to focus on enjoying life more. With advance notice, I can be available most days/times. Don’t let that discourage same day requests though! I take the time to learn pet needs and enjoy getting to know their personalities. The approach I use for each animal is based on what they respond best to. I encourage families to share likes and dislikes of their animal friends to promote a low stress environment as they get to know me. I can administer medication, take them for car rides or walks if desired. Companionship in any form is something I look forward to providing them!!

“Brittany did a great job taking care of our pups while we were away. Strongly recommend and will be using her again soon!”

“Our cats love Kristen! Seriously, we all wondered if maybe they would have forgotten her in the nearly half a year since she last cared for them, but apparently not! I'm not surprised that they immediately begged for attention the moment she walked in the door. All of ours are quite taken with her, but especially our more timid cats! Which is great to see when we're gone that they still get love and attention. We've rebooked with Kristen, and will do so again in the future for certain. It's great knowing that someone is keeping an eye on the house, any random deliveries and making sure that the cats are happy and healthy while we're traveling. If you need a pet sitter, get Kristen!”

About: I've taken care of many different kinds of animals for many years. I've gravitated towards animals as long as I can remember, and have always seeked experience wherever I can. I have walked, animal sat, full groomed, bathed, and more! Anything that I haven't done, I'm always willing to learn! I currently go to college and live on campus! During the summer months I am home and have lots of time to work with your pets! My schedule is relatively open through July and fairly flexible come August! Feel free to send me a message for details!! I'm always willing to work with what your dog does best with! I'm able to crate when needed, use a long line, and have many tools and leashes if needed!

About: Able to take care of all dogs regardless of size and breed. Able to enrich their lives while in my care. Provide medication and use medical equipment as needed. Able to help out as much as possible during the weekends as I am generally available. Able to stay at your residence, conduct daily visits, or work something out to ensure they are well taken care of. If you’re anything like me, you treat your pet as your own child. Whatever is needed will be taken care of. Food, water, enrichment, walks, medication, litter/yard waste clean-up.

About: Hello I'm Lauren. I've got a pupper of my own named Layla. We love long walks in the evenings, playing ball, and long naps during the day. I work in the field of recreation so I like to be out and about but love to come home and cuddle at night. I've been working with pets since owning 13 rabbits when I was little. I have experience with big, little, and medium sized dogs and will work with behavioral issues as well. I do require that the animals that come to my house be crate trained for when I am at work or I can pet sit from your home if you prefer your pets to be out all day. Either way I'd love to meet your little darling/darlings.

About: Beyond being in an animal household all my life, I also have 3 years of working animal boarding experience (PetSuites if any are familiar) where my job was to feed, walk, bathe and hold playtimes with both dogs and cats! Growing up, my family’s house was the local suburban neighborhood zoo. Dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, fish, small mammals - you name it, I’ve taken care of it before! All of this experience includes taking care of puppies/kittens as well as elder animals, providing medication under precise circumstances and even making elaborate dog/cat meals for those lucky animals who are happy to be spoiled by their loving parents. I will ensure your animal is cared for to the absolute best of my ability and that every detail left in instructions are followed to the letter. Hopefully, your animal and I will have fun along the way! I currently work as a teacher - so my availability will be limited to between 4 PM and 10 PM on weekdays with FULL availability on the weekends. For the summer I have full availability on Tuesdays and Wednesdays with limited availability every other day of the week. Typically, I am available for services from 6-8 AM and/or 7-10 PM on those days. I find that the better I get to know an animal, the easier it is to understand what they need - beyond the specified instructions already provided, that is. If an energetic young pup seems to begging for playtime - I’m happy to stick around a bit and play some tug of war. If a dog is rubbing their head against my hands? I know it’s time for some belly rubs. Whatever an animal may need, I will do my best to make em happy.

About: Hi! I’m Sydney, and I love working with animals. I’m responsible, caring, and patient, and I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re in my care. I’ve had hands-on experience sitting, volunteering and shadowing in animal care settings, which helped me learn more about pet behavior, handling, and daily care. I’m comfortable following routines, paying attention to details, and giving each pet the care they need. I do work part-time so I will have some availability throughout the week and on weekends, making it easy to provide check-ins, feeding, playtime, and lots of care for your pets. I treat every pet like my own and always follow the owner’s instructions. Whether in my home or yours, I’ll provide a safe, clean, and calm environment with plenty of attention, exercise, and care.

“Kellyn was very good with our Mia. Mia is a rather large dog and does take some time getting used to people. Kellyn took the time to allow me to become more custom to her. Her text were always positive. We will use her again and again.”

About: My name is Emily. I work full time in public service and I am a dog mom to a Golden Doodle named Rudy. I have 4+ years of working in animal care from working in shelters, as a veterinary assistant, and have cared for my neighbor's pets when needed. I am able to administer medications and care for any pets that have special needs due to having experienced working in both small and large animal clinics. I will treat your fur baby like my own! I currently have availability on week days in the evening and weekends all day. In the summer from end of June to mid - July I will have all day availability as well. My dog Rudy is very friendly and can accompany on visits if permitted or requested. I have a park close to my house and can commute to any area for a needed walk.
