Cat Sitting in Hidden River

“Jenny took such good care of our kitties! Our boys are pretty shy but they came around during her visits and had a meal, treats, and playtime. We were able to focus on visiting our family while on our trip and not worry about them. Thanks so much Jenny! We will reach out again the next time we leave town. Also - it was great to find someone who's specifically a cat lover : ) we love dogs too, but our dog wasn't going to be home so we wanted to find someone who focuses on cats. So glad we found Jenny!”

“Aurora was great and our cats loved her! She was responsive, thorough, and sent lots of cute pix while we were away!”

“Greg took such good care of our two fur babies and we are so grateful. He went above and beyond our expectations and spent time giving the two kitties with very different personalities their own unique attention. He sent photo updates and is a great communicator. He even checked in to make sure we got back safe and the kitties weren’t alone. Greg is exactly what we never knew we were missing and relieved any worries about going on vacation and leaving the kitties behind. Thank you for everything!”

“I’m so happy I found BReN to watch my kitty and home for a few days while we were out of town. I received daily pictures of a happy kitty and came home to a house that looked just as clean or cleaner than I had left it. I feel so confortable with BReN that I’m about to book her for my next trip.”

“Byanka is amazing. Im so grateful that I found her. She is very professional and so sweet and attentive to our cat. I was worried to leave him for a few weeks but Byanka quickly put me at ease. I would not hesitate to hire her again. Im pretty sure our cat will miss her even once we're back home.”

“Liz has been an amazing cat sitter, and has always gone beyond the call of duty to make sure that our kitty Nina is taken care of while we are gone. We will definitely be reaching out again, as our experience was so smooth!”

“Wonderful! Highly recommend. We will be using Basia again. I’m thoroughly impressed by her and how well she cared for our animals. Absolutely amazing job.”

“Beverly was an awesome cat sitter for our drop in visits. She cared exactly what we care about with our cats - them staying safe and comfy! She was thorough in locating them and providing photos and updates. We’ll definitely be partnering again!”

Lily S.

“She's a godsend. Goes above and beyond anything you could ask for. Monica genuinely cares about the animals she's looking after and you'll see it from day one. Pictures, questions, etc....she makes sure your pet is priority number 1. Ill never look for another sitter.”

Will P.

“Tom went above and beyond with my ill-tempered, picky cat over a holiday week. He communicated consistently and responded quickly, and best of all somehow transformed my naughty Grinch into a jolly Santa Claws during his visits. Thank you Tom for your empathy and attention to detail!”

Yeon L.

“Juliann was amazing and our pup immediately loved her! Will definitely continue to have her take care of Aggy in the future.”

About: Hi, I'm Simone. Thanks for visiting my profile! I'm a photographer currently working on a project and living in Joshua Tree. I adore animals more than anything else. Lucky for me, animals seem to love me back, and I connect easily with most cats and dogs that I meet. My two kitties Bert and Ernesto were the loves of my life and I had 13 loving, goofy years with them. I miss them so much. I'm not ready to have any animals of my own, which is why I would be delighted to spend time with and care for your animal/s. In the last year of his life, one of my cats was sick and he required extensive nursing at home. I gave him daily meds including liquids and pills, and I administered fluids via subcutaneous injections for several months. I believe in maintaining a clean environment for animals so that they feel the highest level of comfort possible in their world. I know that cats need exercise, and I prioritize play if they are interested in engaging. I know how stressful it is to travel and leave animals at home. I am highly reliable and trustworthy, and your furry friends are my number one priority. I also love dogs and have walked many dogs for family and friends, however never having one as a pet, I don't prioritize dog care in my profile. I work independently as a photographer, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to structure my day around caring for animals. Whether it’s a drop-in or staying overnight, I’m able to give your cat my full attention. When caring for cats in a client’s home, I aim to maintain a clean, calm, and safe environment that keeps your cat comfortable and secure. I’m careful with doors, windows, and potential escape routes, and I always check for hiding spots to make sure everyone is accounted for. I respect your home as if it were my own, follow your care instructions closely, and make sure your cat’s routine stays consistent. I’m also happy to provide updates, photos, or notes if that helps you feel more at ease while you’re away.

“Shawna, was one of the best cat sitters I have ever had. I have a cat with kidney issues and she administered the subcutaneous fluids. The place was tidy when I returned. She provided wonderful updates and the cats seemed even happier and more content when I returned home! Would recommend hands down.”

“Larissa was amazing, caring and loving with our kitties and our house. She was very responsive, friendly and made sure to send photos and give a report every time she went. We’ll definitely ask her to come back when we need kitty sitting in the future!”

About: Being a pet mom has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. With three dogs and two cats, I’ve built a beautiful, chaotic family that brings me joy every day. From early morning walks to cozy nights on the couch, I’ve learned the true meaning of unconditional love, patience, and the importance of bonding with my fur babies. What I can provide to your family is my 20 years of hands-on experience as a dedicated pet mom. I truly understand the unique needs and personalities of different animals, having cared for a handful of dogs and cats of my own. This deep connection with pets allows me to provide tailored care, whether it’s managing medical needs, addressing behavioral quirks, or simply offering extra cuddles. My commitment, empathy, and attention to detail ensure every pet feels safe, loved, and valued, making their time with me as stress-free and enjoyable as possible while also giving you and your family the peace of mind knowing your fur baby is in good hands. *As I have dogs and cats myself, I ask that your fur baby be current on vaccines and clear of symptoms of canine flu or kennel cough within the past 14 days. *NEW CLIENTS - Meet and greet required for day care and trial night required for boarding. I work from home full-time, so I'll have plenty of time to care & play with your fur babies. I let my dogs out at least 3x a day, I always provide fresh water, and if ever I have errands to run, I don’t leave my pets no longer than four hours. I’m very flexible with my time whether specific feeding and drinking schedule, providing medication, or if your baby doesn’t like being left alone, I can work around your pet’s individual needs. I have a fenced front yard and five friendly pets (3 dogs & 2 cats) to keep your fur baby company. I have baby gates to separate my pets from yours or I can keep my pets in the bedroom if needed. I always keep a close eye on my pets when they’re out in the yard.

About: I taken care when I was very young even taking care of ill/sick animals. I'll nurse them back to health when vets couldn't do it. I bottle feed and take them to the restroom when they are babies. I been taking care since 10 years old. I'm very open with my schedule and love to be around animals. I work from home working as a editor and have lots of free time. I have a gate area for all animals. I always have them on a leash and make sure we walk in the morning or evening. It's too hot for their paws if you have booties for them even great. Always have water on me and poop bags. I never have anything laying around for them to eat or play with. I'm always outside with them when need to go potty and play.

About: I have extensive experience taking care of pets whether they be my own or thru pet sitting. Most of my pet sitting experience is thru trusted house sitters where I have the bulk of my reviews. Please message me for more details! 🥰 I’m able to go on long walks, transport in my car, play and everything else your pet may need. I love taking pictures and can update daily if requested. I work remotely from home so I’m around my pets all day! This also gives me plenty of time to do drop in visits and walks at any part of the day. I adhere to all guidelines in the care guide provided by owners or just their verbal or written directions on how to care for their pet. My own pets over the years I would take on regular walks daily, feed them daily and bathe them twice monthly. I understand that some animals need to build trust with strange humans and I’m extremely patient and I don’t get alarmed easily as I’ve had so much experience with animals especially reactive ones.
