Cat Sitting Christie

About: I have had pets all my life and have a special way with many animals. From tiring out restless pups through play so they can settle in their doghouses, to gaining the trust of the sassiest cats, my patience and kindness towards all animals has gained me the favor of friends and family to care for their pets. I am currently a full time student, so my availability throughout the week can vary. Despite this I find myself to have my afternoons and evenings mostly free. Additionally, my weekends will be free most weeks. In a cliients home, I would do my best to respect the environment and the pets space. Not surprising the pet or adjusting things from their usual place, like food or water bowls, to show I am not here to change pet routines but just to help them along. Additionally, gaining trust on walks and setting firm boundaries with the pet to keep myself and the pet safe when out and about.

About: I’m patient and compassionate with older pets, and I’m comfortable with administering medications, helping with mobility, and understanding the signs of discomfort or stress. I’ve worked with everything from high energy puppies learning the ropes to senior dogs who need gentle care, medication, and a slower pace. Pet care is a natural part of my daily and weekly routine especially with pets of my own. It’s not just a job, it’s something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize. I plan my schedule around the needs of the pets I care for, making sure they receive consistent attention, feeding, playtime, walks, and any special care they require. Whether it's early morning feedings, midday walks, or evening cuddle sessions, I build my day to align with each pet's routine as closely as possible. When caring for pets in their own home, I follow your instructions carefully to stick to your pet’s normal routine. I make sure they’re fed on schedule, get the right amount of exercise, and have clean water and a tidy space. I also take time for play, affection, or just quiet companionship! Whatever your pet is most comfortable with. I’m respectful of your home, keep everything clean and organized, and always provide updates so you know your pet is doing great while you’re away.

“Thanks so much Mandisa, Mac had a great time meeting and walking with you and it was so reassuring for me to spend time with you before you house sit, I know he will be in good hands with you!!”

About: I have taken care of pets for over 10 years around the world! Neighbors, friends, families and acquaintances have all trusted me with the livelihoods of their loved ones. I can administer medication, go on as many walks as needed, drive or walk to the dog park or just cuddle on the sofa if you pet loves that too! I work as a school teacher and am an online grad student but am able to come and go as I please so my schedule is quite flexible! I am very mindful of your pets care, safety and security while they are in my trust. I can crate your pet, calm them down and care for them as per your instruction.

“Appreciated Folasade taking care of our kitties while we were away!”

“Maikala did a wonderful job. She was very professional, punctual and did a great job with communication daily. We would happily hire her again in the future.”

About: I love dogs and i like to be arround them, I am at home most of the time, take care my dog is really fun and i enjoy it very much and i want mikey get new friends I am retired and love spending my free time with animals! I am available on short notice and would love to help you with your pets needs. I will take care of your babies like they are my own. I will make them feel safe and loved, as well as make sure they have everything they need while you are away.

About: I grew up in a large family of animal lovers, we've always had more pets than grandchildren! I've taken care of my own and other family and friend's pets, walking, bathing, and house sitting puppies to senior dogs. My main jobs require me to travel to my clients, so I'm consistently driving through East Bay. Pretty convenient for caring for your darlings ! I’d love to start and end my work days with them. I care for every pet as family and stick to any routines and preferences we discuss. I’ll always make sure pets are fed and walked regularly and tire them out with play and activities before they end their day. I can also give medications if needed. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I want your pets to feel comfortable by keeping to their normal routine. I also like to clean and tidy up anything I use during stays, and send regular photo and message updates so owners feel reassured while they’re away. My goal is to make pets feel happy, safe, and well cared for while keeping their owners informed and confident in the care their pet is receiving.

About: I have been a dog walker/sitter for 3 years officially. I quit my job to do this full time. Dogs are my favorite thing in this world! I will care for them as if they are my own. I’ve yet to meet a pup that hasn’t liked me. I will protect you’re pup at all cost and always make sure they have the best time when they are with me! Im already a dog walker all morning with my regular clients. So later in the day is when I have availability. I do have a few spots in the mornings though. I have a fenced in back yard and have hosted many pups at my house! And in the summer they can swim if they like water!

About: I offer calm, personalized care in a quiet home where your dog is treated like family, not one of many in a busy boarding facility or a home with multiple dogs. I typically host one household at a time, so your dog gets my full attention, genuine affection, and all the cuddles they can handle. My home is the right fit for friendly dogs who love companionship, walks, and settling into a peaceful routine. I'm especially drawn to dogs who thrive with one-on-one attention rather than the noise and energy of a busy multi-dog environment. I'm certified in Pet CPR, Healing Touch for Animals, and Reiki. And beyond the credentials, I'm deeply attuned to each dog's personality and energy. That attunement is what helps them settle in quickly and feel genuinely at ease. My connection to animals runs deep. I spent five years volunteering at Lindsay Wildlife Rehabilitation Center, working in both the mammal department and wildlife hospital with injured and recovering animals. That experience sharpened my understanding of animal behavior and reinforced something I already believed: animals feel safety before they understand it. My goal is always to create that feeling from the moment your dog arrives! Because I work from home, pets in my care are rarely left alone for long periods and receive plenty of attention, walks, and companionship throughout the day. When pets stay in my home, they become part of a calm and comfortable daily routine. I primarily host dogs from 1 household at a time so each pet receives plenty of individual attention. Dogs here enjoy daily walks, playtime, and relaxed downtime, and I’m home much of the day since I work from home. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality and needs so they feel safe and settled. For drop-in visits or walks in a client’s home, I follow the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, fresh water, walks, litter care for cats, playtime, and companionship. I’m happy to send photo updates so owners know their pets are doing well.

About: Currently taking reservation for Labor Day!! Hello! My name is Hosana and I am currently an undergraduate college student at UCSD. I have loved animals for as long as I could remember! Growing up in a smaller home, I was never able to own a dog of my own, but being obsessed with animals, I wouldn't let this stop me from being around them an gaining as much experience as I could by taking care of pets for friends and family throughout my life. Eventually I started working at a local doggy daycare/ pet boarding facility in Walnut Creek known as, North Main Pet Lodge. I have about a year's worth of experience working professionally with a multitude of different dog breeds and taking care of their daily needs. I've worked with both dogs and cats, and other small animals such as hamsters, rabbits, and such and know how to administer medication, bathe, feed, and do other tasks related to pet care. Staying flexible and knowing how to deal with all sorts of situations is something I have come to be very acquainted with through my work experience. Communication is of big importance to me and making sure all pet parents stay informed throughout their stay away from their pets. Currently I am working on my finishing my degree online and no longer need to attend classes on campus. Therefore I will be in the bay area permanently and am looking to work with those who need the occasional sitter. Have been actively sitting for my clients since 2025. Please feel free to contact me and help this college student out with your business, as I also look forward to spending time with your pets! Thanks for reading :) Currently taking online classes. Would be ideal for pet parents who want someone to be at the house often, but also able to step away for 1-4 hrs a few days of the weekdays. Weekends I am always available all day. Almost always at home for morning, afternoon potty breaks, evening, overnight. When in a client's home, the pet's safety and health are my number one concern. With my experience, I have learned several tricks that help with a variety of temperaments and personalities that each dog has. I also believe in being respectful of my client's homes and will take that very seriously. Overall, any specific concerns or lists can be communicated to me and I will make sure to keep an open line of communication.
