Pet Sitting Hidden Valley

Susan W.

“Excellent sitter! Provided honest and prompt updates after each check-in/visit, and always included several photos of the cat! 10/10 would recommend. Her love for animals is demonstrated”

Andy J.

“Great communication and worked with us on tight notice. My (typically shy) dog warmed up to him immediately at the meet and greet. Thank you for taking great care of her!”

About: I have experience caring for both dogs and cats. I’ve been the reliable friend people turn to when they’re away. Some of the routines look like: stopping in to feed pets, provide fresh water, clean up, and offer enrichment and play, and companionship so they feel comfortable and not alone. I also have experience house sitting and staying overnight for up to four nights, making sure pets feel safe, settled, and cared for in their own environment. I’ve been around animals since I was about 10 years old, including golden retrievers, labs, and cats, and I often ask to say hello when I see a furry friend out and about. I welcome different temperaments and adjust myself to meet them where they’re comfortable. I genuinely enjoy being around animals and aim to provide calm, attentive, and loving care so fur babies feel secure, seen, and cared for while their best friend is away. I am available all days of the week, between 9:00 am-6:00 pm, can provide overnight care, please send me a message. (Sun, Mon, Tues, Wed, Thurs, Fri, Sat) The goal is calm, consistency, and reading pet cues. 1. Follow their routine exactly Pets feel safest with predictability. Feed at the same times Use the same food amounts and bowls Keep walks/playtime similar to what they’re used to Even small changes can make sensitive pets anxious. 2. Do a careful first check-in When I arrive: I look for water level, food, accidents, or damage I observe their behavior (hiding, excited, nervous, clingy) I let them come to me rather than forcing interaction. 3. I arrive with a calm presence Many pets don’t need constant stimulation, they need steady companionship. I prefer to sit quietly near them, talk softly and let shy pets approach me on their terms 4. Exercise + enrichment (tailored to each pet) Dogs: walks, sniff time, fetch (if they enjoy it) Cats: wand toys, gentle play, window time I may suggest to keep sessions short if they get overstimulated 5. I like to help keep the home clean and safe by scooping litter boxes daily (sometimes twice per day), pick up wrappers or food items immediately, wipe paws if needed after walks, and keep doors locked and secure at all times 6. Respect their boundaries This is a big one for trust: I try not to force picking up or petting and watch for signs like tail flicking, hiding, freezing, or overstimulation. I let them decompress alone if needed. 7. I love the saying, “Leave things better than you found them” My fur friends owners say they appreciate: Clean bowls and litter areas, a tidy feeding/walking area, and the notes about how they did during the visit 8. I communicate clearly Send updates like: “Fed, walked, and doing well,” Photos (if allowed) and any changes in behavior or appetite

“Yijun took such great care of my cat, especially during a time when my cat wasn’t feeling well. I had to make a last-minute request, and she was incredibly accommodating. It’s clear she truly cares - she made sure my cat was comfortable and well looked after. It gave me so much peace of mind while I was away.”

About: As a long-time pet parent, I understand how important individualized care is. I’ve raised my cat Sansom for the last 8 years (from age 2 to 10), providing hands-on daily maintenance including routine coat combing, teeth brushing, and preparing home-cooked meals. I bring that same careful, attentive, and reliable routine to every pet I look after. While I work full-time, my schedule offers great daily flexibility before and after work hours, allowing plenty of dedicated time for drop-ins, feedings, and exercise. My weekends are fully open to give your pets focused, uninterrupted care and companionship. Clear communication and peace of mind are my top priorities. I collaborate closely with you to understand your pet's exact needs, preferences, and safety rules. I ask owners to provide a brief checklist covering routines, dietary guidelines, emergency contact info, and preferred vet details so I can ensure a completely seamless, safe, and stress-free environment for your pet.

“Hunter helped us out in a bind when our other sitter cancelled due to illness. She jumped right in and knew how to care for our young pup right away. She was easy to coordinate with and did a great job.”

“Anastasiia took great care of Lexi! She always sent cute photos and updated me on her mood and when she wasn’t feeling well during the beginning of my absence. Thank you!”

Eve P.

“Zheru is amazing. I had some change of plans and she was very accommodating. She took good care of my cat while he had some sniffles due to seasonal allergies.”

Fay X.

“James is an excellent cat sitter. Setting up the times for key pickup and drop off was hassle free. My cat who is typically on the shyer side was immediately friendly with James.”

Freeman L.

“She’s so helpful! Conway loves her and she’s always available to help and lets me know when she can help as well will always use her and recommend her !”

Courtney S.

“This was the first time Paola took care of our cats. We couldn't be happier! Our cats were very happy, well fed and everything was tidy when we returned. I would book her again in a heartbeat.”

Katharina B.

“This was our first time getting a sitter so I was super nervous, but Jasmin was a godsend. She was punctual, sent us detailed visit info and pictures and went above and beyond for the well-being of our kitty. Our kitty took to her immediately, which gave us extra assurance that she was in good, experienced hands!”

Anam A.

“Lydia took amazing care of my dog, Lumi, while I was away. She was attentive, loving, and very communicative throughout the entire stay. She made sure to take notes during her meet and greet and she followed everything in the notes I left for her. She even took the time to brush Lumi’s fur regularly, which I really appreciated. Lumi was clearly happy when I returned. I highly recommend Lydia and would absolutely book with her again!”

Luya D.

“Elissa took great care of my dog while I was out of town celebrating my birthday. She was punctual, responsible, and followed all of my instructions perfectly. She kept me updated during each visit, which gave me so much peace of mind knowing my pup was in good hands. I really appreciated how reliable and caring she was throughout the entire experience. I would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and dependable pet sitter. Thank you so much, Elissa!”

Angie M.

“Vicky is very responsible and caring, she took care of my cat while I was away. Really recommend her and will definitely rebook. Thank you so much for everything you have helped!!”

Jamie Y.

“I would definitely recommend Bailey to anyone looking for a sitter to drop in on their cat(s). I hired Bailey to drop in on my cat over a 3ish week timespan. She followed instructions carefully and, more impressively, was able to get my very shy cat to open up to her. For context, my cat is extremely wary of strangers and hides when unfamiliar people are at my house. I was very happy to eventually see pictures of my cat happily cuddling up to Bailey. Bailey also clearly cares about providing excellent care to her clients’ animals.”

Michelle Y.

“Kayla has been amazing with my dogs Berkeley and Baxter! She’s extremely reliable and communicative. She does recurring drop-in visits for me weekly since I need to be in the office and the dogs always look like they’re having a blast hanging with her :)”

Chelsea K.

“Amazing dog sitter! Diego was well taken care of!”

Shalonda P.

“AJ B. did a great job with our 2 cats and 2 parakeets. He braved our dark back yard to retrieve a key for the house. Our cats were very happy and calm when we came home after a week. Would definitely hire AJ B. again.”
