Cat Sitting in Canyon

About: I’d love to care for and walk your pets. Dog park romps, petting sessions, and snuggling provided. I care for them in my home or drop into your home as needed. Experience with large animals, geriatric and young animals. If you are traveling and need a reliable, fun, experienced sitter for your pets, I’d be happy to do a meet and greet and meet you and your pets. I have a 6year old neutered male Australian Sheppard and a 2 year old indoor/outdoor cat. Both are amenable to sharing their space with new furry friends. I'm an active retiree so I have plenty of time for your furry family members. My dog loves to play with new furry friends or chill and give them space. I have a fenced yard and dog door for in and out privileges. I accept dogs that are crated at night or free roaming. Home is well suited to pets.

“Vania was so sweet with our 8 mo old puppies! We felt at ease during our travels. She took them on long walks and even gave them a bath since the days were quite warm. Thank you again Vania!”

“Elyse is so on top of things. She asked me questions and did a great job of what I’m asking for. I would like to have her back to take care my cat next time.”

About: Hello! My name is Mary. I am a lifelong pet owner and animal enthusiast. I grew up on a horse farm with dogs, cats, horses, hamsters, and the odd rogue toad, so caring for animals with love and respect is literally second nature. I'm a somatic embodiment coach by trade, so I have a unique skill set for helping animals feel relaxed and comfortable in my care. I have joyously fostered 20+ dogs and cats in their transition to forever homes, and have extensive experience with house and pet sitting. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and breeds, from 6 pound little weasels to 80 pound gentle giants. I have a special place in my heart for seniors (and have experience caring for them.) I am comfortable and experienced with administering medication. Because I work from home online and over zoom, I can accommodate animals that need a shorter window of alone time. I'd be delighted to treat your fur family with all the love and care I would give my own. I look forward to hearing from you! I have my own online business, so my schedule is very fluid and flexible. I love walking dogs and can easily do day or evening walks and stop-bys. I have experience with staying in many different homes and I know that every animal has its own unique routines, needs and rituals that help it feel in flow. I'm very happy to work with your pet in the way they are used to.

“Adam was a great pet sitter for our cat, Smokey. We will definitely try to use him for future trips. He clearly loves pets and he is an excellent communicator and we love the pictures that he sent”

“Zenzele dropped in with little notice when I mixed up my schedule, saving me an hour roundtrip when my pup needed to be hugged and fed. Thanks, Zenzele 👍🏼”

About: Rover is an amazing thing in my family's life. Our whole household REALLY LOVES DOGS. We love all the different dog personalities we get to know. We genuinely appreciate pet families trusting us to care for their pet(s). Boarding is our most used and preferred service of the Tree House. We have many regular clients who use our Boarding and Doggy Day Care services. We love all sizes of dogs and the full range of dog personalities. We host up to 4 guest dogs at a time and are very conscientious of the dogs we host and how they will interact. Therefore, if your dog does not do well with other dogs, our house may not be a great fit for your pet. We get requests for exclusive bookings, and where we can accommodate these requests, we will. ****price for exclusive bookings is 2X our service rate, currently $150/night or day care slot**** We require all new clients to do a meet- & -greet, so we can only accommodate last-minute new clients if we get a solid referral from another sitter, you are a friend of the family, or one of our regular clients referred you. We have found our guests do much better when they have been here and sniffed about before their stay. Your dog(s) will be loved and treated with the utmost respect by every member of our household and any other guests. Our home is very relaxed, and our backyard is a dog paradise with lots of shade and different areas for dogs to claim their own space. We always have a crew of dogs, so your dog will have plenty of stimulation and exercise while at our home. We work from home and are here nearly all the time. Pickup and drop-off times are flexible—the key is communication and consideration—fees may apply where either is lacking. The yard has plenty of room for guests to stretch it out and find their own space. We are happy to accommodate crating, and problem children will have some sort of time out until they can ground and be good guests. We are not disciplinarians but are pretty good at setting boundaries thru timeouts and rewards.

About: What sets me apart is my deep understanding of pets' unique needs, gained through years of hands-on experience with animals of all ages, breeds, and temperaments. Whether I'm caring for playful puppies, energetic adults, or senior pets with special requirements, I tailor my approach to ensure every animal feels safe, loved, and understood. There is a long line of veterinarians in my family therefore I understand the importance of quality care. My goal is to provide peace of mind for you and a second home for your furry friend, where they’ll receive the same level of care and affection they get from you. Fun fact I hope to become a veterinarian after school! As a college student-athlete, my schedule is flexible. I'm available every day aligning pet care around my class and practice times. Any changes or commitments are communicated in advance for seamless planning and reliable pet care. I am a student-athlete at Berkeley and am looking for a part-time job to spend time and help out with your furry friends. I know your pets mean the world to you, which is why safety is my top priority and I am committed to providing the best care for them so you can rest assured that they are taken care of while you are away.

“Shanley taking care of Shane is a real treat for him, and relaxing for me. He always is more calm when I get back than he was when I left. Shanley is super!”

“Anais responded to my very last minute request when my previously-arranged cat care fell through. She fit in time to meet me and go over information in person on very short notice. She was kind, communicative and flexible. I was able to enjoy my trip knowing my senior cat was in loving and experienced hands!”

“Kit was so awesome!! We had a last minute need and she agreed to help. Kit was very patient with trying to get my shy dog comfortable with her so she could walk her. After spending some time with Rozzi, she was able to put on her leash for her walk. Kit is also very responsive, punctual and provided regular updates and pics! Thank you, thank you!”

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and genuinely love spending time with them. I currently have a cat and previously cared for a dog, so I understand the different needs and personalities of both. I’m patient, attentive, and committed to making pets feel comfortable and safe while their owners are away. Whether your pet loves to play, go for walks, or just relax and receive affection, I’m happy to provide the care they need. I pride myself on being reliable, responsible, and communicative, so you’ll always have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands. Pet care fits easily into my schedule. I’m 18, and it’s summer break, so I have a flexible routine and can work weekdays, weekends, and different times of day. I’m happy to adjust to your pet’s needs, whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, or just keeping them company. I know every pet has a different personality, so I take the time to get to know what makes them comfortable. Some pets love lots of play and attention, while others prefer a calm environment and their own space. I focus on keeping their routine consistent, giving them plenty of care and companionship, and making sure they feel secure while you’re away. I also enjoy sending updates and photos so owners can see how their pets are doing.

“Jena is wonderful! She's a great communicator and is punctual and trustworthy. Our dogs loved her which was evident in the cute photos she sent. Thank you Jena!”

About: I’ve been pet sitting for 12+ years. my neighbors, friends, and family have all entrusted me as their official dog and cat sitter because I love them like my own! i’ve been training dogs (unofficially) for a very long time now. i’ve done well as a guiding leader for dogs, with positive reinforcement as i feel it works best. I have experience with more serious problem behaviors but I would want to discuss beforehand what your pet may need from me and if that is something i can effectively offer. the one thing i want to guarantee is that your baby is not only loved and cared for, but also that they are safe and secure in my care and ability! I actively volunteer and foster for Oakland Animal Services for both their dog and cat programs and I feel more than equipt to support your own loved dog or cat. i believe providing in-home care allows your pet to feel truly comfortable in their own home environment. so for in home care i simply do my best to make sure all dogs and cats in my care are given the attention they desire and deserve! this is up to them (and you) of course whether it’s active walks, high engaged excessive, or simply lounging together. I reside in an apartment with my cat who is dog and cat friendly. if a small space such as an apartment isn’t the best for your fur baby, i am happy to babysit in your own home or (for dogs) take them for many walks, field trips, and parks. i am very flexible when it comes to this so it is truly up to you and your comfortability.

“My 3 pups loved Laura instantly! She’s a great communicator and punctual. 2 of my dogs are young and can be a lot to manage and I totally trust Laura to manage them”

My responsibilities have included feeding, cleaning living areas, monitoring behavior, assisting with grooming, and maintaining a safe and sanitary environment. Pet care is an important part of my daily routine, even while balancing a part-time job. I make time each day to ensure animals receive proper care, including feeding, providing fresh water, maintaining clean living spaces, and monitoring their overall health and well-being. I also prioritize exercise, enrichment, and social interaction to support their physical and emotional needs.
