Cat Sitting Day Valley

“We had a great experience! She followed all of our instructions, spent time playing with our cat, and made sure she got the attention and care we asked for. It gave us a peace of mind knowing our kitty was in good hands while we were away. We would definitely book with her again (we also got additional pictures and videos of our girl which was the best)!”

“Excellent job again with my reactive guy. He was calm after she left which has not always been the case with dog sitters after they leave. She takes time to mellow him out and it pays off. Very grateful for your kindness and care for my pup <3”

“Samantha took great care of our kitties and was extremely professional, caring, and responsive. This was our first booking with Samantha and we would recommend her to anyone in need of a drop-in visit. Thank you again Samantha!”

“Naomi is wonderful! If you need someone who is kind, reliable, and truly there for your pet, look no further. Highly recommend her and am so glad she’s in the area!!”

About: I’m a proud owner of a crazy dog and a wannabe independent cat, and I’ve been pet sitting for most of my neighbors, taking their dogs on walks, and making sure all of their animals are fed and have had some time to play! I love all animals and I can handle anything from the most energetic puppy to a grumpy cat. I’m something of a pet whisperer I’m currently in highschool, so my scheduling for the next couple months is Monday-Thursday after 1:45pm, Fridays after 12:15, Saturdays after 3:15, and anytime Sunday I can stop by once a day or multiple times a day depending on what is desired in order to feed, check on water, take on walks, or just to get some play time in. Also super down to just keep your pets company for a while, because I know some of them miss their people.

About: I've had dogs my whole life, and I truly believe that they are a part of the family. I grew up hiking, training, and playing with my own dogs, as well as pet-sitting for my friends and family in high school. My two childhood dogs were both big and high-energy, so I have experience with dealing with intense personalities-from hyper puppies to senior dogs with health issues. I am also used to walking and taking care of two dogs at once, so if you have more than one pet, I am prepared. Most of all, I love seeing dogs happy, whether that be through taking them on walks or giving them love and attention. I am a UCSB student, but I am home for the summer (until I go back to school in mid-September), so I will have plenty of time to care for your fur-babies! I am available anytime of day, all days of the week. I am extremely responsible and detail-oriented, and I will do whatever I can to make sure your pets are safe and happy. I will send frequent updates and pictures as I understand the anxiousness that can come from being separated from your pet. I also have experience with taking care of dogs that need to take frequent medication or have other ailments, as my first dog (an Akita mix) was seizure prone and arthritic but, with much love and care, lived to be 16. She recently passed, so I am eager to love your dogs as if they were my own.

“Tarah was fantastic! She did 4 drop-ins a day with our 2 dogs and always sent updates and photos. Our Whippet/Husky mix can be quite a rascal, but Tarah handled her energy very calmly. Very friendly and reliable.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs, big and small alike all my life. I grew up with a boxer and a golden retriever in the home so I’m accustomed to the joy of having pets in the house. More recently I’ve pet sat for families who have homes in Europe, and would go visit during the holidays. I’ve been caring for this elderly dog in particular for over 10 years. He’s a sweet tempered dog but takes medicine everyday so I’ve become well adept at hiding his meds inconspicuously to get him to eat it without any problems. I also love working with puppies and find that caring for younger dogs is a lot of fun, and is exciting too! I love aussies, border collies, and spaniels but find that I can get along with just about any breed. I’m the type of person to always stop to ask to pet your dog on walks, and love showering dogs with affection and love. One of my favorite past times, is letting a dog run free off leash, and play frisbee with him or her. I’d love to provide loving, friendly, and fun care to your furry friend and I look forward to our first paw-shake! Currently in school, but available after and before classes start-and free on weekends! I’m in school, but I have plenty of time to run around and meet your pets. I would look forward to days pet sitting, or walking, and would love to meet you and your pets! I care for pets mainly in your home, I find it easiest because some pets can get flustered in new environments. I strive to get to know them and build trust by being in their home turf to see all their favorite toys, and where they feel most comfortable. I look forward to seeing how they play and grow at their most comfortable!

About: What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I give every pet. I don’t believe in rushing through a visit or simply checking a box. I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality, energy level, and routine so they feel comfortable, safe, and genuinely cared for. I’m dependable, patient, and highly communicative. Whether your dog needs an energetic walk, your cat prefers a quiet companion, or your pet simply needs consistency while you’re away, I’ll provide care that’s tailored to their individual needs. As someone who leads an active lifestyle, I’m happy to keep energetic dogs engaged while also recognizing when a pet needs a slower pace. I’ll always respect your instructions, provide regular photo and message updates, and treat your home and your pets with the same care and respect I’d expect for my own.

Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. I carefully follow your care instructions, including feeding schedules, medications (if needed), exercise, and any special preferences that help your pet feel at ease. In your home, I’ll treat your space with the same respect I would my own by keeping it clean, secure, and making sure doors, gates, and leashes are always properly managed. During walks, I stay alert to my surroundings and prioritize your dog’s safety at all times. I know that trust is earned, so I’ll provide regular updates and photos throughout my visits. My goal is for you to feel confident that your pet is receiving dependable, compassionate care and plenty of attention while you’re away.

“Callie was so great with our dog Ansel! Despite not having met Callie before, Ansel was pleased to get pets and scratches and spend some time with her in the yard. She was very responsive to on the app, and prompt, and made it so easy on us to leave him for the day. We look forward to having Callie help us again!”

About: Very reliable, caring, and friendly. My 11 year old daughter and I love all dogs great and small! We are very exited to meet your pup and treat them to a fun time! I currently work a flexible schedule and I am able to accommodate most walks under one hour. I might be able to help you out on short notice, just ask! I am not able to accept dogs onto my property. I am very respectful of any space I encounter and treat all homes as if they were my own. I will send you photos of your dog (s) if you would like it.

“Marley looked after our cats during an extended vacation and it was such a relief knowing they were in good hands and being checked on regularly by someone we trust.”

About: I’ve had cats and dogs my whole life and have watched friend’s, family’s, and neighbor’s pets for many years. I love all animals but have a soft spot for greyhounds, whippets or any sight hounds. I currently work during the weekdays but am available in the evenings and on weekends. I work full time but am available in the early mornings, afternoons, evenings or weekends! I’m based in Aptos so have more flexibility for walks and drop ins if you’re close to here. I’m happy to come to your home to take care of your pets, but cannot host them at my current place. I always treat your home with full respect, and happy to help with other housesitting related things like getting your mail or watering plants.

About: I’ve always had a passion for taking care of animals. I love to make sure they are fed, walked, and are happy. I’ve grown up with a dog on my own and i know how to treat her properly. I’m currently working part time at Red Apple Cafe in Aptos Monday through Wednesday and have availability on Thursdays and Fridays, or even after 4 pm on Monday and Tuesdays. I have a fenced backyard with an adorable yellow lab and her name is Sandy. She goes in and out of my garage throughout the day and gets occasional walks with plenty of treats on hand.

About: I have 20 years of experience starting when I got my first horse at 10 years old and since have worked with countless dogs and cats as well as dolphins, seals, large birds, horses, and the occasional farm animal. I have experience tending to wounds, administering medication, caring for senior, anxious, energetic, and fearful pets. I work from home with a flexible schedule that allows me to tend to your pet's needs when you are at work. I am typically available weekdays before 5:30pm. I know that every animal is unique. I can offer personalized service to meet your pet's needs. I have a fenced back yard, time for walks and play in addition to basic needs, and am happy to accommodate specialized needs and private care. Whether at your place or mine, your pet will feel secure and at home. I have a kitty at home but he likes his space and is happy to stay in our home office during day care days.
