Cat Sitting in Diablo

About: Growing up, I was constantly surrounded by animals because of my parents being vets. Currently, I have six dogs, a rabbit, and a cat! I have helped take care of, raise, and train two puppy litters. Being around all kinds of animals is a joy and pets health and safety is my biggest priority. I am a full time student, however I have an extremely flexible schedule which allows me to spend as much time as need be with pets. I also am not employed, so your pets would be my first priority. I am extremely adaptable to the needs of your pets, whether it be specific dietary needs or sleeping habits, I can accommodate whatever your pets (and you!) need to feel 100% safe. Normally, I take care of mail and garbage when I am staying at a house, unless asked otherwise.

“Elizabeth was a pleasure to having as our sitter. Our senior dog needs daily medication, and our youngster is needy and full of energy. We appreciate the time she took with each pup, and I loved the thorough updates. Choose Elizabeth for your pet needs!”

“Trevor was fantastic! My puppy couldn't have been happier that he had been over while I was away. He communicated effectively, was polite, timely, and in all regards, was a perfect person to stop in during the day.”

“I had a last-minute need for someone to check in on my dog due to a flight delay, and Hailey truly saved the day! She responded quickly, was flexible and reliable, and kept me updated throughout the entire process to ensure my dog was well cared for. I’m so grateful to Hailey for stepping in on such short notice and would highly recommend her for any future pet sitting needs. Thank you, Hailey!”

About: Hey there! 🐾 I've been surrounded by pets all my life, so caring for furry friends comes naturally to me. When I'm not at the elementary school where I work, you can find me enjoying the outdoors, often with a canine companion by my side. I'm excited to meet your pets and provide them with the love and attention they deserve plus gain some daily morning exercise while walking your dog! I'm looking to be able to walk dogs early in the morning before my Kids' Country job around 10am. If possible, I can do drop in visits afterward 6:30pm. I'm fully available Saturday and Sunday. I have a fenced in yard to give dogs some freedom, but I am looking to give dogs walks as often as possible around the Danville/ Alamo/ Blackhawk and San Ramon areas.

About: I love all animals! I grew up with dogs and even owned a couple reptiles. Currently, I care for one boxer and two cats. My animals range from sleeps-all-day to playful and high energy, so I will be able to handle any pet personality. I love all my friends’ pets and yours will be no exception! I’m currently on summer break and have plenty of time to play with your pets! Contact me and I will do my best to make any time work. The necessities of dog and cat care are routine for me, but I will be sure to pay close attention to any special care needs or requests left by owners.

“You were very much appreciated. We ended up being out a little longer than we expected. Lexi was in great spirits when we returned. The pics were great updates. Thank you! We look forward to your help next week with Logan!”

“Highly recommend Maya! Maya provided drop-in visits for our two dogs and four rabbits, and everything went smoothly. Communication was great throughout, she was always prompt, and it was clear our pets were well cared for. We really appreciated the reliability and attention. We will be booking Maya again.”

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and caring for them has always been a big part of who I am. Growing up, my family had a wide variety of pets including dogs, cats, horses, and rabbits, so I’m very comfortable with different types of animals and personalities. During my time at CSU, I’ve continued that passion by fostering three puppies and a couple of cats over the past few years. This gave me hands-on experience with everything from young, high-energy pets to helping animals adjust to new environments. I also regularly help care for my roommate’s dog and cat, so I’m used to day-to-day responsibilities like feeding, walking, playing, and making sure pets feel safe and loved. I truly love animals and being around them is part of my everyday life—I’ll treat your pet like my own and make sure they get plenty of attention, care, and love while you’re away. I’m currently a CSU student and work during the week, so I’m primarily available for pet care on weekends. That said, I do have some flexibility during certain weekdays depending on my class and work schedule, so feel free to reach out—I’m happy to see if I can make something work! I focus primarily on dog walking and drop-in visits, and I always prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine. During walks, I make sure dogs are securely leashed, stay in safe areas, and get the right amount of exercise based on their energy level and needs. For drop-in visits, I stick closely to your pet’s normal routine—whether that’s feeding, playtime, walks, or just keeping them company. I always take time to make sure pets feel comfortable and cared for, especially when their owners are away. I’m very attentive to details and will follow any specific instructions you provide, including medications, feeding schedules, or behavior preferences. I also make sure your home is respected and left exactly how I found it. Communication is important to me, so I’ll always keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident your pet is happy and in good hands!

“I met Surjit in the Peace Corps and since day one she’s shown a tremendous quality of being a dependable friend. She’s charismatic, she’s thoughtful, and she’s an extremely loving caretaker. When my dog Darwin first met her, his eyes lit up and his pupils went wide with love for her as they continue to do so every time they get together and forget I’m even there. She’s one of the very few people who I trust enough to take care of Darwin and they continue to bond in a way I don’t really see with other people since, even though my dog is very cute, I think he knows it and can be a bit antisocial and aloof. But Surjit sees him and fully accepts him for who he is, as I see her do with all pets in her life. I happily endorse Surjit because I know that she does not just see your pet as a dog or a cat, she sees them as individuals with their own personalities, fears, habits, wants, and needs. I happily endorse Surjit because I know that she will, without a doubt, go above and beyond and take care of your pet like she takes care of her own family and friends.”

About: Dog walking and dog sitting was my first ever job! I have dog walked and dog sat for my friends, my family, and worked for local dog walking company for a couple years—taking care and walking multiple dogs a week. I have also cat sat for many years and volunteered at an animal shelter and have lots of experience with different kinds of dogs and cats. I love my pets and would love to care of yours like they are my own! I’m currently working part time from home and have availability during the day for dog walks. I am also available on some weeks/weekends for dog and cat sitting! I have a fenced yard and a very walkable neighborhood for dogs. I can crate dogs and take dogs on walks. I also have had dogs in this home and currently have 1 friendly cat.

About: Woof Woof Woof Meow Meow Meow I have pet sat for friends and family and would love to extend that service to my bay area neighbors. Love taking dogs for walks or to the local parks such as Fort Funston or McLaren Park. I have a skittish indoor cat, Spikey(5yr American shorthair), who is initially very shy but usually warms up to people. Checking in on cats and cleaning litter boxes is not new to me. Just want to treat your fur baby with the love, care and respect I would use to treat my own fur babies. Woof Woof Woof Meow Meow Meow I have partial work from home schedule, going into the office 2-3 days a week. Commute time is only 5 mins to Oyster Point in SSF, so can easily pop back in for a lunch time walk if needed. Your fur babies will have free roam of the living room with views of the bay and any birds outside. Best if puppies are crate trained for the night. If you are dropping off multiple pets I can separately feed them if needed.

About: I've taken care of close family friends dogs and I've worked at a pet resort for dogs and other animals. You can trust me to treat them with so much love and give them their basic needs and anything else you'd like for me to do with them (: I currently work with dogs full time with a schedule and I will work around the schedule and when it comes to your fur baby I prioritize them first before working with other dogs. I do not have pets of my own but because I've taken care of others and worked at a pet resort for dogs and other animals I know what's needed to be done. I know dog behavior, feedings, medicine, how often they should go use the bathroom, etc.

“Ayla is professional and friendly and definitely loves animals. This was the first time we have ever used a sitting service and I am glad we chose Ayla. We will be using her again. Thank you, Ayla.”

“Lara did a great job with the Drop-in visits. I highly recommend her. I think Mocha was happy too as Lara took her for small walks. I was also thrilled to see the pictures and videos that Lara sent and kept me informed how Mocha was doing. Thank you Lara, appreciate your support. Also thank you for those cute photos of Mocha that you left on the cabinet, it was a nice surprise.”

About: I have six years of experience taking care of pets. I took care of two dogs and I am currently taking care of one cat. I am a responsible and reliable pet owner. I am available every day during the week and weekend during the summer (May 25-August 15). While I am in college, I am available to work after classes end on Friday. I am also available on the weekends. I make sure my cat's litter box is clean every night, I change her water often, I feed her wet food for lunch every day, I clip her nails, and I give her a bath once in a while.

“My dog is so happy when Bar shows up at our door! Zibby gets good exercise and is always panting when she gets home, which is literally what the doctor ordered! Zibby loves her and what more could you ask for?”
