Cat Sitting Fair Oaks

About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was 14, watching over neighbors’ and others’ animals, including dogs, snakes, a bearded dragon, and cats. I’ve also had cats of my own since I was 8—five in total—and currently care for two on my own. What makes me stand out as a sitter is my ability to connect with animals, especially those that take time to warm up to new people. I’m patient, observant, and always prioritize their comfort. Whether it’s recognizing subtle body language, engaging in enrichment activities, or simply providing calm companionship, I adapt to each pet’s individual needs. In addition to pet care, I have worked as a nanny for young children (ages 4, 2, and 6 months). This experience has strengthened my attentiveness, patience, and ability to balance multiple responsibilities at once—skills that also translate into pet care. I’m experienced in maintaining structured routines, ensuring safety, and providing comfort, which makes me well-equipped to care for pets with different personalities and needs. I treat every pet as if they were my own, offering not just basic care but also companionship and reassurance. I’d love the opportunity to care for your pet and make them feel at ease while you’re away! I will have to go home to feed and spend some time with my two kitties, Pumpkin & Hazelnut, but I also always find time to spend time with your pets as well. As of now I am looking for employment so my schedule is pretty open I provide pet care in the comfort of your home, ensuring your pet stays in a familiar and stress-free environment. Every pet is different, so I follow your specific routines, guidelines, and house rules to keep things as consistent as possible. Whether it’s feeding schedules, walk routines, playtime, or medication needs, I prioritize your pet’s well-being and comfort while respecting your home. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I take extra care to follow any instructions you provide, from home security measures to special pet needs. I also keep you updated with messages, photos, or check-ins so you have peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is to provide loving, reliable care so your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for in their own space.

“Nora was communicative and attentive to my kitty while I was away. My cat was in good hands with Nora.”

“I'm hesitant to write this review only because I want to keep Jourdan forever! She was absolutely fantastic with our cat, Binx, during our weekend getaway. He adored her and we came home to a very happy Binxy. He was well fed and taken care of. She's super punctual and communicative - I felt as though Binx was in great hands. The updates and pictures were so appreciated! ?I can't wait to have the opportunity to travel again and hire her!”

About: My family got our first pet dog when I was 7 and I quickly became the one responsible for grooming, bathing, walking and slight training. I cared for my dog from his puppy stages to his senior stage. I am experienced with accommodating routines for all stages of a dogs life. I often take pictures of pets, with owners consent, while they are in my care. After every visit, you will most likely receive a lot of cute/silly pictures of what your pet was doing. I am very careful about the animals and I make sure they are safe and enjoying themselves while in my care. I am a college student so when im not in class or studying, I am available to take care of your pet for as long as needed! I understand more energetic pets need a little more attention and I can work that into my schedule! When I care for pets, whether at my home or a client’s, I make sure they’re fed, have fresh water, and get plenty of playtime and attention. I stick to their routine, like feeding schedules or giving any meds, so they feel comfortable and safe. I keep their space clean, make sure there’s nothing dangerous they can get into, and watch for any signs they’re not feeling well. My goal is to keep them happy, healthy, and relaxed, especially if their owner isn’t around

“Mckenzi is reliable, thorough, and great to work with! She put my mind at ease taking care of my cats when I was thousands of miles away. She also put my cats at ease-- they are super shy but they came out to see her! Thanks Mckenzi!”

About: With over 20 years of pet care experience, I pay close attention to the needs of your pets. I grew up with dogs and cats and learned how to care for them from a very young age. I've seen pets at all ages and stages and observe them closely for any abnormal or concerning behavior. Under my care, your babies are my babies, and they receive only the best quality of care! I'm available 6 days a week: Sunday through Thursday from 8am to 9pm and on Fridays from 8am to 6pm. Just let me know when your baby needs attention and I'll be there! I feed your pets at their scheduled meal times if they have it, take them on walks or runs, and give them a simple groom with a comb/brush and clean their ears if requested. I can play with them and have them do commands and tricks if they know them. Happy pets make me happy too! I will also happily provide references that you can call upon request.

About: I’ve grown up around animals my entire life, including dogs, cats, fish, and even a bunny! I’ve also cared for neighbors’ pets, including both big and small dogs and cats. I’m comfortable following feeding routines, providing playtime and companionship, giving pets plenty of attention, and making sure they feel safe and cared for while their families are away. I’m responsible, patient, attentive, and genuinely love spending time with animals! I’m currently a student at Sacramento State and have classes on Mondays and Wednesdays, so my availability is more limited during late mornings through early evenings on those days. I also have a baby, so I may need to coordinate visits around his schedule or most likely bring him with me to services with animals who are ok with kiddos. I’m happy to communicate ahead of time and work with each family to find a schedule that works well for everyone! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’m happy to care for pets in their own home, where they can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual needs, follow their owner’s instructions carefully, and make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, exercise, food, and fresh water. I’ll also keep their space clean and provide regular updates so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for!

About: I have over 3 years of experience dog sitting for more than 8 regular clients. I am highly flexible, reliable, and open to accommodating your schedule. I am also comfortable administering oral medications (pills) if your pet requires them. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to check in, feed, and play with their dogs, and I treat every pet like my own! I am a full-time pet sitter and an online college student, which means my schedule is incredibly open and flexible! Because I study from home, I am around almost all day to provide constant supervision, companionship, and plenty of potty breaks and playtime for your pets. I have grown up around dogs and cats my entire life, giving me a lifetime of hands-on experience. I personally own two large Mastiff breeds—a Cane Corso and a Boerboel—as well as a cat, all of whom I’ve successfully raised and cared for over the last 4 to 7 years. My home features a secure, fenced yard where your pet can safely play. Because I am highly experienced with both powerful, large dog breeds and smaller feline companions, I know exactly how to maintain a safe, balanced, and harmonious environment for all types of pets!

About: I have always been an animal lover. Had my boy Oliver for almost 18 years from puppy to super senior. I am an ER nurse so highly competent taking care of medical needs. Love to hike or go on walks equally love snuggling if the dog prefers less active time. I am an ER nurse and only work 3 days a week so lots of free time for pet sitting/ walking/ boarding or pop ins. I have my own house with a good sized fully fenced in yard and a doggie door. Love to hike and be active with the dogs but can also give snuggles and be less active.

About: I've taken care of cats for 30 years and have always loved all Animals, even those that many are scared of. I take the care of Pets very seriously to ensure they are always safe, comfortable, and happy. It's a tailored experience because no two Animals are alike. I currently have a very flexible work schedule and can easily check in on Cats throughout the day, 7 days a week. I do not travel during holidays, I stay home with my own Cat and Dog so I am available for all the major and minor holidays. I do have my own Cat and Dog but I would not bring either on trips to care for a Client's Cat. The safety and comfort of a Client's cat in their own home while their parents are away is the most important part of this process.

About: Over the past 5 years, I've been providing dog walking and dog sitting services. My general duties include feeding, walking, playing with, and administering medication to dogs. I also make sure to follow any specific instructions or routines that each dog may have. I’m currently working part and I am a full time student. I work 3-4 days a week from 3AM-11:30AM. I make openings in my schedule for any work or help needed necessary. Additionally, pet care is a central part of my daily routine. I have been walking and feeding a now grown up puppy named Mia for about 3 and a half years now. I make sure to schedule time for feeding, walking, and playing with the dog that I care for. I always keep a close eye on each dog's behavior and health to ensure that they are happy and healthy. I care for pets in the clients home making sure they are fed and have easy access to food and water. I also closely follow the instructions their owners have left for me. I would typically make sure the pet did not use the bathroom in the house/area the pet is. If I were to board a pet at my home I’d make sure my dog is in a friendly mood to interact and I would make sure the clients pet is safe and fed the correct food.

“Emily was a great sitter! Our cat loved her. She took special care to learn all about him. She took note of how he likes to play, what food he likes, and even the little things that we do for him when we are home. We are looking forward to hiring her again!”

“Gladys was amazing! She went above and beyond for Oreo. She was so considerate, asked me how much I would like to be updated per day, shared how Oreo was doing physically and emotionally (Oreo was so comfortable and happy there). All of the items I dropped off with Oreo were cleaned and returned perfectly. Gladys even asked if Oreo could have some of her Churu treats. So kind! Thank you Gladys!”

“Awesome boarder, Mari took care of my two cats for four days straight and they seemed playful and happy! Mari sent me updates on my cats and helped out a ton with giving them love and attention. Will definitely turn to Mari in the future!”

“I worry tons about my poocie because she came from an abusive situation, so I am super cautious with who I let around here. From the very start Jade was outstanding. She was understanding, intelligent and extremely keen to Pua and even CB (my cat whom she was even responsible for looking ater). Great, wonderful, outstanding, amazing. Only person I will ever let watch my poochie.”

Michael S.

“Amy provided great care (and technical support!) while pet sitting for us. She was consistent and communicative and provided great updates while we were away.”

About: I have all terriers and the oldest is 17 years old and his still kicking. I have groomed him also for half his life. I never really found anyone I liked. I hope to help others. I’m homeschooling my second grader and going to school myself. My schedule would be late afternoon or evenings for dog visits and dog walks. I’ll be in natomas in the afternoons and in Sacramento in the evenings. I have friendly pets/ small breeds with a yard fenced. I would like your pet to feel calm and comfortable here. Cots and toys and puzzles to keep them busy.

About: I have 21 years of experience caring for animals. I provide attentive, personalized care that meets the unique needs of each pet. Whether it’s active walks with dogs, caring for senior pets, or soothing anxious animals, I always ensure their comfort and safety. My expertise includes creating feeding schedules, administering medication, grooming, and engaging in fun playtime. Your pet will be surrounded by love and care, just like at home. As a stay-at-home mom with a loving and supportive husband, I have plenty of time and energy to dedicate to caring for your pet. My 3-year-old daughter is gentle and caring, and we both adore animals. She has a natural ability to treat them with respect and kindness. I’ll ensure your pet gets plenty of attention, playtime, and walks while feeling safe and loved. Whether your pet needs a midday walk, playtime at home, or just some extra cuddles, I’m here to help. With my flexible schedule, I’m happy to care for your furry friend at any time that works for you. Your pet will be treated like a cherished part of our family! I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment for pets. In your home, I strictly follow your pet’s usual routine to avoid stress.

About: I'm a recent UC Davis Animal Science graduate and aspiring veterinarian with years of hands-on experience caring for animals of all ages, breeds, personalities, and medical histories. My background spans several areas of veterinary medicine—I've had hands-on clinical experience in oncology, emergency medicine, and surgery at the UC Davis Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital, alongside extensive involvement in community veterinary clinics, student-run programs, and animal shelters. Years of working directly with animals across a variety of settings have given me invaluable firsthand insight into their behavior and body language, including how to recognize signs of stress, respect boundaries, and adjust my approach to each animal's comfort level. Beyond the scrubs and textbooks, I'm simply someone who loves meeting new pets, learning their personalities, and finding ways make their days a little brighter until their favorite person returns. If I'm not working with animals, there's a good chance I'm looking for them elsewhere—usually birdwatching, hiking, or wandering around the Sacramento Zoo with a pair of binoculars! My current schedule is quite flexible, allowing me to accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening visits throughout the week and on weekends. I know that life doesn't always go according to plan, so I'm also happy to help with last-minute bookings, unexpected schedule changes, or urgent pet-care needs whenever possible. Whether you need a regular helping hand or someone to step in on short notice, I'd love to help! My veterinary and animal-handling experience has taught me the importance of consistency, attentiveness, and recognizing even subtle changes in an animal's behavior or comfort level. When caring for pets in their own homes, I prioritize maintaining their familiar routines, following instructions carefully, and minimizing unnecessary stress, and entering every home with respect and care. I have reliable transportation and can accommodate individualized exercise and enrichment needs, from leisurely walks to more active outings with prior approval. I take safety seriously and will always consider each pet's health, temperament, and physical abilities before planning activities. I'll also keep you informed with regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is receiving attentive, dependable care.
