Pet Sitting Gateway Center

“Outstanding pet sitters! They went above and beyond to care for my cats—ensuring fresh food and water, clean litter, and a clean environment. They gave the beasts plenty of love, attention, and brushing. We came home to happy, well-cared-for pets.”

About: I have 4 kitties and 1 pup of my own. I have had no less than 3 cats my entire life, and am always helping the local strays as well, so I have loved cats of every type of personality and special need. I take my pup with me just about everywhere, so I have a lot of experience being out and about with a canine companion. My dog doesn't like other dogs, so I am also comfortable caring for pups that prefer not to be around other dogs. If you're looking to give your pup an extra special day out at a new park, I would love to bring them on an adventure! If your dog and/or cat is all about routine, I've got you. Playtime? I am so there! Or maybe your little one is a bit anxious and just wants some scratches and snuggles - I am here to make them feel safe and loved while you are away. <3 Whatever they need most, I am here to provide. I am a freelance graphic designer and illustrator, and as such, I have an extremely flexible schedule, so I can be available whenever it is that you need me the most! I always have access to my own car, so even if you need your pup taken to an appointment or to their most special favorite park, I am happy to do so. If you're looking for someone to stay with your pet all day and/or night, everything I need to do my freelance work is portable, so I can give your little one all the attention they deserve. :) I am the master of catering to the needs of all different types of pet personalities, as I have 4 cats and 1 dog of my own, all very unique from one another. As such, I am able to cater the care I give to fit perfectly with your little one's needs and routines.

“Payton is very reliable and works well with my sensitive kitty. She follows his schedule well and communicates clearly after every visit, including photos.”

About: ur friendly neighborhood avid animal lover here to help you with your fur babies! as a former animal shelter employee and current animal hospital worker, I’m familiar with all different kinds of dogs and cats of different ages, breeds, demeanors and needs. I’m comfortable with young puppies to seniors, nervous/shy cats, those who need medication and anyone in between ☺️ I’m located right in the heart of the Mission District and work in Noe Vallley, so anywhere in those two areas are easy for me to access.

As someone who has seen plenty of emergency cases in my profession, I’m very specially aware within people’s homes of what may be considered safe or unsafe for your baby. Just let me know if I need to keep an extra eye on a specific room or piece of furniture in your room!

About: I have recently started sitting for a family friends dogs. I am very reliable with walking, feeding and naturing. I have worked with senior dogs as well. I currently work from home so I have more time to take care of pets. With free time during the weekends as well. I would be able to take the animals out 2-3 time during the week on breaks. I care for pets as if they were my own—providing love, attention, and a safe environment tailored to their needs. Whether in my home or yours, I follow all routines, feeding schedules, and exercise requirements to ensure your pet feels comfortable, happy, and well cared for.

“Mindi was wonderful with Odin! She stopped by for a drop-in visit, gave him a nice walk, and made sure he was well cared for. I could tell he was happy and comfortable after their time together. Highly recommend her for anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”

“I'm so grateful for Natalie caring for Winston. She was so wonderful with sharing pictures and providing daily updates. I so appreciated not worrying about my boy. He felt super loved too. I could tell when I got back that he wasn't as stressed as when I normally leave town. Thank you so much!!! I'll be in touch soon.”

About: Animals have been the heart of my home for as long as I can remember—I’ve grown up surrounded by the love of both dogs and cats my entire life! That lifelong bond inspired me to become a professional dog groomer, meaning I bring a deep understanding of dog behavior, gentle handling, and professional health awareness to every pet I meet. Above all, your furry family member’s safety and comfort mean everything to me. To give you total peace of mind, I am Dog & Cat First Aid & CPR Certified through the American Red Cross. Whether your pup needs an extra-patient friend, a high-energy playtime, or just someone who truly understands their cues, I promise to treat them with the exact same love and devotion I give my own! I am a full-time professional groomer, so my life naturally revolves around animals! My schedule allows plenty of flexibility to give your pet the dedicated care and attention they deserve. I am currently available for drop-in visits and active walks to keep your pup happy and healthy. Because of my professional background, I am also more than happy to discuss customized grooming services to keep them looking and feeling their best. Let's connect and find a routine that works perfectly for your furry family member! When I’m looking after your fur babies in your home, their safety, happiness, and comfort are my absolute top priorities! Every pet has their own wonderful personality, and I love being versatile enough to match their vibe perfectly. Along with keeping up with their usual feeding and watering routines, I tailor my visits entirely to what makes them happy. If you have a high-energy pup who lives for fun, I offer exceptional, toy-squeaking, tail-wagging playtime! But if your sweet pet is a total couch potato, I am more than happy to just curl up, offer gentle scratches, and keep them company. Please note that I currently only offer care directly out of your home, ensuring your best friend stays safe, loved, and thoroughly pampered in their own cozy environment!

About: I have had dogs in my family for my entire life and have been around them for over 30 years. I have a cattle dog Bjorn, and grew up with those, and my cousin has 2 large breed mix dogs that I also love to spend time with. We have 2 cats in our house as well, an orange cat named Fritz and a siamese named Tut. I am currently working part time, and on summer break, so I have lots of time available to assist with feeding and walking dogs currently. I am an experienced walker and have no issues following special instructions to make sure your pup is safe and cared for the way they recognize.

About: I've taken care of my dogs, friends' dogs, and house-sat for dog owners. I’m experienced with dogs of all energy levels and temperaments. I currently work Sunday through Wednesday, and I’m fully available Thursday through Saturday. On those days, I can give your pet my full attention and focus on their care, routine, and needs. On Sunday through Wednesday, I am available before 8 am and after 8 pm. I provide dog sitting and dog walking with a strong focus on safety, trust, and maintaining each dog’s normal routine. I am comfortable with small dogs and large dogs who need a lot of exercise.

“Elaine is a great sitter! My cat doesn't like being left and I've never left him for 8 days before... I came back to a lovey chill feline. I know that's down to Elaine's style and going the extra mile! She even played my cat's favorite tunes for him. And watered my patio plants! So grateful to Elaine fir keeping him happy and healthy, and to feel less guilty and worry free when I leave him. I'm already asking to book again for Sept!”

About: Hi there! I am a recent law school graduate currently studying for the bar exam. In addition to growing up with dogs, I also have experience dealing with reactive dogs. For a time I had a rescue dog, Judge, who struggled with aggression, leash reactivity, and general fear/anxiety. Training with him and learning from him made me extremely educated on dog safety, care, and proper protocols when out on walks to ensure a good time for everyone involved. I recently moved to Sacramento after graduating law school, and would love to walk your dog (and maybe even help with some training) while I am studying for the bar exam. Hope to hear from you! My study schedule for the bar is exam is flexible as it is a self-paced course. I normally go for a walk in the mornings before I start my day, but I am free any time to assist! I have a large SUV that I’m happy to take your dog along in for a little adventure! My favorite daily walks in Sac is along the American River and I’d love to bring a pup along. I am also happy to stay local to wherever you live and wherever your dog is most comfortable.

“Jenna was amazing! Super responsive and kept me updated while she cared for my kitty! She’s a cat whisperer btw lol, my cat is normally very scared of new people but she happily greeted Jenna on the first visit. Definitely recommend to others!”

About: I've had animals in my life since I was little. I have thorough experience with dogs and cats and have taken care of many fur-babies over the years. I have been fostering cats and kittens since 2018, with over 20 fostered and adopted out through my home! I currently have a very open schedule over summer. I'm happy to walk pets, do drop-in visits, or take care of a pet while you're on vacation! With the time that I have, I can spend a lot of time with your pets if you ask. I'm happy to house sit and do fun activities with your baby! I use a lot of patience and a calm demeanor when interacting with a new pet, but would be happy to show them a good time.
