Cat Sitting Fontenay Villa

About: I’ve taken care of and owned animals of all kinds since childhood. Taught and trained by my mother, who’s been a vet tech for over 40 years! I have extensive knowledge of proper pet care practices and continue to keep up to date with all the latest information and research. I have experience handling, training, and caring for pets of various sizes and breeds; including large-small dogs, senior dogs & cats, puppies & kittens, and high needs pets! If your fur baby has behavioral issues or quirks, needs daily medication, and/or has strict dietary guidelines, you can trust that your pets special needs will be met to your standards while in my care! New to Rover, but experienced in Pet Sitting! I work part time as a creative professional and musician with a relatively flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time to care for your pet family! If I’m scheduled for a pet care service, I will plan and dedicate my time accordingly. ADDITIONAL/ADJ service fees: I charge a $4 late fee per 30min of service used beyond the agreed upon pet sitting period *this only applies to stays lasting longer than 8 hours* I of course am willing to wave this fee for extenuating circumstances. Thank you for understanding! I am a very attentive, intuitive, and patient person with both humans and pets. I pride myself on being organized, structured, and honest in home & work environments, and have always lived by the golden rule of leaving a place better than you found it! If the service you choose requires daily and/or overnight stays at your home, you can rely on me to treat your home and pet/s with all the respect and care it deserves.

“Robin came over 5 days in a row and fed, played with, and kept the litter scooped for my 2 cats. Her communication was great and the pictures she sent were fun to receive. Highly recomm”

About: I took care of my pet cat for 15 years and have helped look after cats in my neighborhood since I was a little kid. I hope to one day have a kitty of my own again but in the meantime I promise to give your pets the quality care they deserve! I currently work part-time and go to college locally, so I have four days a week when I'm free to spend as much time with your pets as they need! I can definitely be flexible with scheduling, just send me the details :) I can put out food and water and clean litter boxes as well as basic grooming such as gentle brushing etc. If your cat has any specific dietary needs I can make sure those are accommodated as I take that seriously due to personal experience.

“Just arrived home after long vacation and cats are happy and doing well. Bex took care of them and kept us updated when we sent texts asking how things were going. Her replies were prompt. We are used to getting daily photo updates from past sitters so even though that didn’t happen, we knew cats were in good care. I would recommend Bex for your pets.”

“Isabella went above and beyond in her care for Petunia, and left the house in perfect condition! My cat was extremely content when I arrived home, as if I had never left. Can’t recommend Isabella enough. Very friendly and easy to communicate with as well!!”

About: I have sixteen 5 star reviews on Trusted House Sitters (along with my wife Allison who joins me on most dog and cat sits.) We have taken care of dogs of various sizes as well as a lot of cats. We both work remotely which makes us very flexible for pet care. I can work remotely from anywhere on my laptop (part time!) which allows me plenty of time to care for your dog or cat. After my years as a Trusted House Sitter, my goal is to spend most of my time dedicated to caring for animals as they are my passion so they will be my number one priority! I care for your pets in your home, I will be in most of the day working online so they will get plenty of potty breaks and attention. I am always available to contact and will make sure you receive photos and updates multiple times a day.

“Myrka was absolutely fantastic with my young puppy! She took on great care of him (and made sure he didn’t get into any trouble)! She was also very quick to respond, arrived early, and very professional. Highly recommend!”

“Tommy cat-sit in our home for 6 days. When we returned home, our cat seemed happy and healthy and the house was in great shape. We will definitely have Tommy cat-sit for us again!”

About: I have a bachelor degree in animal science and worked as a vet assistant at vet hospital. I can give medications. I walked and feed 50 pets in the kennels separately in vet hospital. I currently working as a cat and/or a dog sitter in this app. I like going on walk with your pets as a daily exercise. I can take care of pets because of my background of veterinary assistant and have experience dealing with sick pets and healthy pets. I give them their pills. I can have enough of having pets in my life so, I want to take care of more animals. I like keeping the client’s home clean as if they were mine so, I make sure that the home look same as if I was not there.

About: I have been pet sitting for the past 3 years using Trusted House sitters. But grew up with dogs, have lived with cats the last 10 years and love being around all types of animals! I have watched a variety of pet with a range of needs. I love learning about the unique personality each animal has! I work a completely remote job as designers from 7 am - 3 pm PST. During these times, I have sporadic meetings, but nothing that would take me away from watching your animal for over nights. I am a flexible and great at adapting to different schedules and routines. I am an active person so am able to go for walks, hikes or runs based on your dogs needs. I am a naturally tidy person and I will leave your home exactly in the state as when you left. I am available to watch any type of pet in your home! I only can accept dogs in my home. I live on farm with a fenced in yard but outside of that there’s a lot of space to roam. I live with 3 other roommates who are also animal lovers. We live with a cat but he is outside most of the day and feels quite indifferent about dogs.

“Taylor was great! She was flexible when I needed to book last minute and gave quick updates!”

About: I’ve taken care of many different dogs and animals since childhood. I was part of my local 4h helping raise animals from steers to Guinea pigs. I love all animals and love them more than humans. I currently work from home. I can be very flexible with my schedule to accommodate different needs. I will always be available for your pet for some pets or a step outside. I have a small cat who keeps to herself. Your dog can be free around my home or crated if you prefer. I work on my computer all day so I can always be attentive. I live right on a creek so your dog will be very entertained on their walks.

“Emily was fantastic! She stayed at my house for a week and took care of my cat. I could tell she had spent a lot of time with her because she wasn't desperate for attention when we got home. My house was perfectly clean still and she even left us a cute note. I got daily updates and pictures and it was great being able to have a vacation knowing my cat was being taken care of. She even gave her medication (a pill) twice a day. I will definitely book with her again if we go on another trip.”

About: I’ve taken care of many different types of cats and dogs for nearly 10 years. I currently have two dogs and two cats in my home where I live right now. I am well versed in caring for animals, and love them very much! I have been working as a professional pet and house sitter for nearly two years now as a source of income. I’ve always had a beautiful harmonious relationship with all animals. I have a 5 Star rating on trusted house sitters with 10 public reviews. I can’t post the link here because of rover’s restrictions, but I’d be happy to share with you. My schedule is flexible, as I work sometimes as a substitute elementary school teacher, yoga teacher, and a babysitter. I also have my own small business! I am usually able to be very available to care for pets during most hours of the day. I provide care in whatever way is needed and makes the animals and their owners most comfortable. When housesitting, I prefer to stay overnight with the animals, to ensure the best care for the animals. I am respectful of the space I am in and have had many reviews from people I’ve sat for that I leave their homes cleaner than when they left :)

About: Hi, I’m Eva, a professional cattery owner based in San Jose with over five years of hands-on pet care experience. I currently care for three cats and two dogs of my own, which allows me to stay deeply connected to the daily needs, behaviors, and health monitoring of both species. Working with cats professionally has given me strong skills in recognizing early signs of illness, understanding feline behavior, and maintaining a clean, low-stress environment. I am experienced with kittens, adult cats, senior pets, and pets requiring extra attention. For boarding, I offer two dedicated, separate cat rooms designed specifically for safe and professional care. The spaces are clean, secure, and enriched to provide a calm, structured, and comfortable stay. My goal is to provide attentive, reliable, and high-quality care so pet parents can feel completely at ease while they are away. I'm work from home everyday. So I'm more flexible and have more time to focus on our Fur baby. Same for drop in visit or boarding or dog walk. I can follow any direction you want me to do or help with. I will play with them and give them massage to relax and communicate with them.

“I trust Ulysses with my fur babies. I can tell they’ve been loved while I’m away. The pictures and videos he sends while caring for my kitties show how much they like him. He even takes my trash can out on garbage day.”

About: I've had pets ever since I was born but really started caring for them when I was about 5 years old. We've had every kind of pet from bunnies, birds, dogs, cats, chickens, hamsters, gerbils, rats, mice, lizards, etc etc. I've been doing sits for trusted house sitters for about 5 years. As I traveled around the country. I have five star reviews from every client. I'm not doing trusted house sitters as much now that I'm stationary in Santa Cruz. Fairly new to Santa Cruz. Working a couple days a week at The Bagelry, trying to decide if Santa Cruz is the place for me to put down roots. I make sure to meet the pets beforehand if possible and get as much information as I can about their needs so that I can make sure they feel comfortable and safe with me there while their owners are out of town. I'm flexible with whether or not they want to sleep with me and how their walks are and they're different eating schedules, and habits.

About: I think what sets me apart is my lifelong experience with animals and the fact that I truly understand how much they mean to their families. I grew up with a beagle and multiple cats, and now I have two bully breed dogs of my own. Caring for different breeds and personalities has taught me that every pet is unique and deserves patience, understanding, and individualized care. Owning bully breeds has also made me comfortable handling strong, energetic dogs while recognizing that they thrive with consistency, positive interactions, and plenty of love. I’m equally happy spending time with shy cats who need a calm presence or playful pets who want lots of attention. As a pet owner myself, I know how hard it can be to trust someone with your pets and your home. If someone were caring for my dogs, I’d want them to treat them like family, and that’s exactly how I’ll care for yours. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, medication, or simply someone to keep them company, my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved until you’re home. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. I care for my own two dogs every day, including walks, feeding, playtime, enrichment, and making sure they get plenty of love and attention. Having had a cat as well, I’m also familiar with the routines and care that cats need. Because caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, I’m able to build pet visits and walks into my schedule while giving each pet the time and attention they deserve. I believe in keeping pets on their normal routine as much as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my priority is to keep their routine as consistent as possible so they feel safe and comfortable. I’ll carefully follow your instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and any special needs or preferences. As a pet owner myself, I know how much trust it takes to welcome someone into your home. If someone were caring for my dogs, I’d want to know my home was secure, my pets were safe, and that they were being treated like family—because that’s exactly how I view my own dogs. I bring that same level of care and respect to every home I visit. I’ll treat your home as if it were my own by keeping it clean, secure, and exactly as I found it. I’ll also send regular photo and video updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, well cared for, and getting plenty of love and attention while you’re away.
