Cat Sitting in Holcomb Village

“Karina was amazing. This booking was my first time using River.com and the experience has been incredible. Karina came in each day, sent pictures and updates of my two little cats. She spent time with them and although they are shy cats, they befriended her. I am grateful to have found a pet sitter that we love and trust. It will definitely make it easier when I do have to leave them.”

About: I’ve had experience dog sitting and house sitting for both single dogs and multiple dogs of all sizes. I follow detailed care routines, including administering medications and sticking to feeding, walking, and playtime schedules. I treat every dog like they’re my own—whether it’s a high-energy pup or a senior who needs extra love. You can count on me to provide reliable, loving care and keep your home just as you left it. Pet care fits easily into my schedule. I’m organized and flexible, so I can handle walks, visits, and stays reliably while giving pets the attention they need at anytime. When I care for pets at their home, I follow their regular routines carefully feeding, walking, playtime, and medication. I ensure they feel comfortable and secure in their own environment. Before leaving, I tidy up, take out the trash, and make sure the home is left just as I found it.

About: Animals aren’t just pets to me they’re family. With years of hands on experience caring for everything from high energy puppies to senior cats, I bring a deep sense of responsibility, patience, and love to every animal I meet. I treat every pet like they’re my own, paying attention to their unique personalities and needs. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or just some company while you’re away, I’m here to make sure your furry friend feels safe, happy, and loved. As a stay at home mom with a flexible schedule, I have the time, energy, and heart to give your pet plenty of attention and care. I’m naturally active and love spending time outdoors, so your pet can look forward to fun filled days with lots of play, fresh air, and companionship. Whether it’s running around the yard, going for walks, or just cuddling up for a nap, I’ll make sure they feel right at home. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I care for animals in my home, located on a peaceful property in wine country with plenty of space to run, play, and explore. Whether they’re here for a short stay or extended visit, you can trust they’ll be treated like family.

About: Ever since I can remember, myself as well as my family have loved and enjoyed dogs and they have always been a part of our family. I got my first puppy when I was 12 years old. She was a rescue and I had her until I was 26 years old. Her name was Molly. We had many other dogs during that time. My sister's and I were who cared for them all. Although this is my first time running a business caring for dogs, I have taken care of dogs most of my life. Some people call themselves a "people person". I call myself a "dog person". I have always had a natural ability to connect with dogs. Dogs have always loved being with me. I care for them as if they were a child of mine. As I always have said, the more I get to know people; the more I love dogs!

“Vanessa took great care of our cat while we were out of town for two weeks. She sent updates and communicated as needed, including expressing concern that the house was too warm for our kitty. We also had an ant invasion while we were gone, but Vanessa took initiative to clean them up and put out our ant traps. I wouldn't hesitate to have her sit for us again!”

About: From a very young age I learned to care for pets and farm animals. In 4-H I studied animal husbandry. As an adult, I have had many dogs and cats. I love them as my family. My last two rescue dogs (American Pit Bull Terriers) made it to almost 13 years old before they crossed the rainbow bridge over the last few years. I am not ready for my own new family member, but I still miss the companionship of animals. So it just seems right to take care of yours. I am semi-retired, so I am free on most weekdays except Wednesdays. I get up early and do chores around the house in the morning, then go outside for a bit in the afernoons unless it is too hot. I live on 40 acres in the countryside. It's not fenced but I can take your pups for a great walk around the property on a leash. I have 3 spare bedrooms if they need quiet space. Or I have a kennel in my bedroom if they like to be with someone.

“Cesar is amazing!! He took care of my three cats while we were out of town for our wedding, over the past 9 days our kitties were in great care with Cesar’s drop in visits! He went above and beyond our expectations. Truly kept the litter boxes clean and swept around them! He changed their food and water and made sure they were safe! Cesar is trust worthy and respectful! He kept us updated throughout the whole process, sending us lots of loving photos and even keeping us updated on the weather! He is soo kind and truly loves animals, we have gold fish here too, even thou we were feeding them pebbles with the automatic feeder he noticed the fish and added some bounce flacks when he visited (out of the kindness of his heart). SO NICE! If you are looking for someone to care for your pets, I HIGHLY recommend Cesar he is very knowledgeable and caring, he followed every step I gave him and went beyond that. He even offered to have a free meet and great so the animals could get to know him! SO THOUGHTFUL. unfortunately my tight schedule wouldn’t allow it but, it’s the thought he puts in that counts! Thank you so much Cesar you are a true blessing to us and our animals! Until next time! 💕”

“Our very recluse cat trusted Jenilee when we were gone for a week. Jenilee was able to brush and pet her, giving us peace of mind while away. She stilled howled at us for leaving her but calmed down shortly thereafter. I worked out an alternate schedule when I met her for first visit. She was completely reliable and we loved getting pictures of her daily. I will hire her again, especially because she lives close by, given the opportunity.”

About: I've taken care of dogs, cats and rats for most of my life. I've done it for family, friends and neighbors. This has always been my way of having as many pets as I truly would love to have and keep my husband! I am currently working part-time and I can schedule my work around any pet care. I will never "short" any animal the time they deserve. I prefer to take care of pets in their own environment. I think they do better with someone coming into their home instead of bringing them into a strange home. I think care depends a lot on the pet involved. I have the time and love to give them as much or as little as they need and want.
