About: Hi !! I started house-sitting for my family members pets since high school. Since then, I have been recommended by many close friends of my family and I'm excited to branch out further into the Bay Area ! I have cared for pets of all ages, including several senior animals that I still regularly work with. Along with dogs and cats, I also have some experience with reptile care ! A lot of the clients I've worked with know me for my calm disposition when it comes to animals, so even the most anxious pets will feel safe in my care !! I am currently working at home working as a self-employed artist, so I should be available to care for your pets most days of the week! For walks and drop-ins I am available from 9am-4pm during the weekdays, and full time during weekends! Pets are a part of the family just as much as everyone else, so I like to treat them with the same courtesy! Since I mostly work on my laptop, I usually stick to staying home when I petsit, so your pets will have my company as much as possible! If your pet is more on the active side I will do my absolute best to fulfill their needs--I may not the most active person but I am no stranger to long walks and park playdates :) !

“Nora is a GIFT! About a year ago my now 14 year-old cat Riley abruptly lost a significant amount of weight and bloodwork showed some kind of significant liver event though nothing was evident in an XRAY or ultrasound. He was prescribed two ongoing medications to support his liver & reduce inflammation; a small pill that needs to absorb during a fast (no food for 2 hours before and 1 hour after) and a liquid medication that needs to be given with food. In addition to the with/without food medications complexity, successfully pilling a cat every day requires a deft hand—pretty straightforward for someone who’s good at it, increasingly difficult each day for anyone who isn’t. Add to the equation both Riley and his brother Ash are initially shy with strangers. All things considered to me the situation seemed like a complicated ask for a pet sitter, so over the past year I hadn’t gone away on any trips longer than 2-3 days. In the face of a terminal illness diagnosis in my direct family I came to terms with having to hope for the best using a pet sitter for an 8 day family vacation though I was very concerned about how Riley would be affected by the extended change in routine. Enter Nora; highly intelligent, highly *attuned* (to the pets & the people), instantly trustworthy, and very gracious, a rare combination of total professionalism & grounded compassion. Though Nora was only here for about an hour each day her presence *visibly improved* Riley’s health. I didn’t know it was possible to come home from being away for 8 days to find Riley noticeably fluffier and more energetic than when I left, but that’s the magic that unfolded under Nora’s care. She also sent me pictures of Riley and Ash every day and let me know how they were each doing, sharing her sophisticated curiosity & creativity getting Riley to eat more and Ash to gradually come out of his shyness with clear warmth towards both of them. It’s extremely clear Nora *truly cares* and is keenly observant and exceptionally competent, a combination that made it possible for me to relax so much more on my trip. I’m very grateful to have found her. Thank YOU so much Nora. TBC 💗🐈🐈‍⬛🧘‍♀️”

About: Animal lover with lifelong experience! I grew up on a farm, started pet sitting as my first job, and have cared for pets of all kinds—including special needs and senior animals. Attentive, reliable, and dedicated to making every pet feel safe and loved. I’m an early riser, so I love starting my days with walks, playtime, or morning visits. My schedule is very flexible and open, which allows me to adjust to your pet’s routine — whether that means midday drop-ins, long walks, or evening snuggles. Because I’m available throughout the week, I can provide consistent care and attention without rushing, making sure your pet always feels cared for and relaxed. When caring for pets in their own home, my top priority is making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I respect each pet’s normal routine — from feeding and walks to playtime and snuggles — so they feel secure while you’re away. I keep a close eye on doors, gates, and leashes to make sure everyone stays safe, and I make sure water bowls are always full and food is given exactly as instructed. I also believe pets thrive in a calm and loving environment, so I spend time giving them attention, play, and affection, while keeping your home neat and respected. You can count on me to treat your pets (and your space) as if they were my own

I always consider the reassurance and comfort I would like to have and have for my own pets if they were in someone else’s care.

They will enjoy the many walks they will have around here. When at your home, I take care of your fur baby and belongs with the utmost respect and safety.

“Lynn is great with our dog Gigi, and has done drop in visits for her multiple times when we are out of town. Lynn sends updated photos each visit, and even did the dirty dishes that were left in the sink.”

“Marissa did an excellent job dropping in to feed and play with my cat while I was away. She sent pictures and kept me informed about how Gracie, my 18 year old cat was doing. I would definitely recommend her for pet sitting.”

“Cheryl took excellent care of our dog and cat. She truly went above and beyond. She brushed our long haired dog daily, and won over our fickle cat. She sent us regular updates and photos when we on our travels that were a joy to receive and gave us so much peace of mind. Not only were our pets happy and relaxed when we returned home but our house was spotless- honestly cleaner than when we left it. She even took care of our garden and made sure all my plants were happy through the dry winter weather. Cheryl is professional, thoughtful and took care of our animals with so much love. We highly reccomend her!”
