Cat Sitting in Castro Valley

“Once again Erin did a fantastic job. Sammy is now one of Erin’s best pals. And although Lucy is shy and hides she was well fed and happy. Erin is the best and I have full trust and confidence in her with my pets. Will definitely have Erin help us again.”

About: I've been a cat lover my whole life. While growing up, my mom's allergies prevented me from having a cat of my own, so I only had dogs. You can only imagine my joy when my neighbours would ask me to be their cat sitter! When I got married, one of the first things I did was adopt my own cats: Pablo, our 15-year-old tuxedo cuddle monster who we’ve had for 13 years; and Bernie, our spirited 5-year-old brown tabby we adopted as a kitten. To this day, I still have friends and new neighbour who ask me to be their cat sitter when they go out of town. As cat parent, I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust to care for your cat while you’re away, and I’d love to help make your time away a little easier—for you and your cat! Whether it’s to feed them, clean their litter box, playing with them, or just some comforting company, you can rest assured they'll receive the same attention I give my own cats. I'm also comfortable taking care of small and medium-sized dogs if they are also part of your family, and you can also rely on me to water your indoor and outdoor plants, collect your mail, and bring in your bins if it’s the end of collection day. I'm currently prioritizing cat care for my clients. For most of the year, I am available 7 days a week to your home to check on and care for your fur babies. I will come to your home as requested to feed your cats, change their water, and scoop their litter. If they need additional care with brushing, exercise, or other attention, please let me know.

“My cats warmed right up to Demi! It was a great peace of mind having her stay in my home with them so they wouldn't be bored or lonely with an empty house while I was away on a weekend trip. Demi was communicative and sent frequent updates and pictures, which I really appreciated. I will definitely be booking with her again!”

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for cats of all personalities—from playful kittens to shy, reserved cats. I’ve boarded cats in my home, done drop-in visits for multi-cat households, and always make sure pet parents feel connected while they’re away. I send regular updates with photos and videos so you’ll never have to wonder how your pets are doing—you’ll see they’re happy, safe, and well cared for. In addition to cats, I also have experience with dogs and even tortoises, so I’m comfortable caring for a wide range of pets. Whether it’s playtime, feeding, or just keeping your pet company, I’m here to give them the attention and love they deserve. Since I work part-time evenings, I have plenty of daytime flexibility for pet care. I enjoy making cat care part of my regular weekly routine. I create a safe, calm environment by keeping areas clean, securing doors and windows, and sticking to the pet’s usual routine so they feel comfortable and cared for.

“Angela stayed with our cat while we were out of town for two weeks. She did an amazing job caring for our cat and our house, as well as providing frequent updates and photos.”

“Xander has been doing drop in visits each day while I’m at work to be with my Labrador and give him some company and a potty/snack break. It’s been a great relief having Xander’s support! I know my pup is in good hands!”

About: Hi! I’ve been loving and caring for dogs and cats for over 10 years—my own and others’.

Pet care fits perfectly into my weekday routine! I’m available Monday through Friday during the day, which means I can help with walks, check-ins, feedings, and plenty of love while you’re at work. Taking care of pets is something I truly enjoy—it’s a happy part of my everyday schedule. I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. When I’m in your home, I stick to your pet’s routine—meals, walks, meds, and all the little things that keep them happy and stress-free.

About: I have a deep passion for dogs of all sizes and ages, and with over 10 years of pet care experience, I treat every dog like family.

I’m comfortable caring for dogs with different needs and personalities—and yes, they’re more than welcome to snuggle up and sleep on my bed! I have a dog of my own who’s a big part of my life, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet.

Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I always make their comfort and safety my top priority.

I have a big fences backyard with lots of grass for playtime. I stick to their regular routines for feeding, walking, and playtime to help them feel right at home. When I’m in a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and make sure to follow all instructions closely, keeping their pet’s routine and environment consistent. I give each pet lots of attention, affection, and care—just like I would with my own dog.

About: I currently have three cats. They say I’m their favorite human. They trained me to ensure I have optimal skills with the laser pointer. I’m also an expert feather dangler thanks to them. They also say I do a great job with the litter box, they rave how it’s always fresh and clean. I use to have a shitzu, but she who shall not be named kept her. But I’m still the shitzu’s favorite human. I currently work full time in Hayward. Monday - Friday 9am to 5pm. If you are in the area I can stop by during my lunch break. I am in upper management so I do have the freedom to come and go. As long as I get my 40 hrs in. I am available to care for your pets after work and all day on weekends. Since I have three cats and I live in an apartment, I don’t plan on doing many in home boarding. We all know cats are territorial. But I’m more than willing to stop by your home and visit your fur babies.

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was 15 years old. I even have had dogs and cats throughout my life I adore them. I am currently working a part time job in the am. My availability works before 7am or after 11am. I am free everyday even weekends I am in a safe area outside and inside my home for your dogs and cats there is also a dog park up the street.

“Everything was great with Maria taking care of our cat. He needs heart medication administered twice a day (in a pill pocket), so we needed someone reliable. Cats aren't always easy to watch because they are wary of new people, but Maria powered through and made sure Loki was cared for...even when he insisted on hiding under the bed! Thanks, Maria!”

About: I am very intuitive when it comes to emotions. It is easy for me to read when pups need some grounding, when they need to be taken away to calm down, when they are unwell and what kind of social engagement they like. This is why I get along with 98% of all the animals I've met and why I'm excited to meet some new furry friends! I'm currently looking for a full time job but in the meantime I have an open schedule and I want to use this time to work as many Rover sitter jobs as I can, I can't think of a better part time job to have! When I care for other peoples pets I make sure to ask a core set of important questions to better understand each animals unique needs. I respect life above all else; its very important to me to do the best job I can to keep the living beings under my care happy, safe and healthy. I also like to leave the spaces I stay in cleaner than I found them so I make sure the kitchen and the main living room are orderly and clean.

“Jason followed all care instructions for drop-in visits for my cat. The daily pictures of my cat were wonderful to receive. He was great and reliable and I would leave my pets in his care again in the future.”

About: From reptiles to dogs, I am an animal lover through and through! I have 4 of my own fur babies (2 dogs & 2 cats) and still have so much love and care to give to yours! I am affectionately known as “auntie” to my friend’s fur babies and will not hesitate to help any animal in need. From fostering & socializing kittens, to stopping on the freeway to save a kitten stuck in barbed wire (spoiler: I adopted her), to helping a lost dog find her home, and to finding and transporting an injured baby crow to a Wildlife Hospital, my dedication to animals is unmatched. Your pet will always be in kind and loving hands with me! I do have a full-time job during the work week but I am available weeknights and weekends! I’m available for short-term and long-term care for all animals! My pets, and soon to be yours hopefully, always have my undivided attention! I love taking my dogs for hikes, long walks, dog parks and anything to get them socialized, exercised and happy! My cats are basically treated like royalty in my home. Anything you pet needs, I will be there to provide it!

“Krystle was amazing with our cat! She helped with all the things I asked for and went above and beyond and helped with other things like ant invasion when we were away. She was extremely patient and sweet with our cat that was hiding under the couch during her visits. She was able to get our cat to play with her after couple of days, thanks to Krystle’s gentle approach. I was comfortable being away and knew that my cat was being treated well and taken care of. I 100% recommend Krystle! She’s truly the best. I’ll definitely reach out to her if I need a sitter again.”

About: Hi my name is Saverio! I grew up with dogs, birds and also a couple of cats. I have taken care of pets for family and friends also over the years. I will pay attention to your pets individual needs & personality to make sure they are content and safe. I have two dogs myself. One who loves his walks and the other that likes to stroll slowly and smell the roses. So if your dog is a walker we can go for longer walks. Or if they prefer to stroll to smell everything that's okay too. For them it is about getting out of the house and seeing something different and getting in all the senses. This keeps them happy and less destructive or depressed while you're away. Currently I work for myself flipping furniture. This allows me to do that and also get out and walk and interact with animals. I know the best part of my day is when I get home and see my pups as I'm sure it is the same for you :) At home, I always check to make sure their water bowls are filled. Out on walks, I will bring water a collapsible water bowl & doggy waste bags.

“Siu Kei was a fantastic cat sitter! He was on time and a great communicator, sending pictures and updates that gave me peace of mind while I was at work. He was friendly, dependable, and so patient with Oatmeal and Mohawk, especially since it was their first time being looked after outside of home. I’m really happy with the service and highly recommend him!”
