“Diana was helpful and communicative and trustworthy with our little bunny, who was honestly pretty messy and required some extra / unexpected care because he got sick and needed medicine. Diana was very consistent with the updates and we loved having someone so local to provide for Janus.”

About: I have had my own cats for about ten years and had farm cats and dogs as a child. My cat recently passed and I am not quite ready to adopt another but want to help others in the mean time! As of right now I’m boarding a sweet female cat for a friend and have been for about a month but she will be going back home in the next few weeks! I live in a studio apartment so I am able to board small to medium animals. I am off just two days otherwise I am available in afternoons after I am off work! Let me know if you have additional questions about my experience or availability! I work full time in San Francisco so I usually leave pretty early in the morning and get back home early afternoon Wednesday through Sunday. Monday and Tuesday I am off but run a few errands. When I had my kitty she would usually feed wet food in the morning and leave some dry food for the day, then when I got home I would leave out some more wet food for the night. I of course have a water fountain and plenty of toys and scratchers for the day and have some play time when I get home. I have a studio apartment so not much room for a big dog but I do have a quiet neighborhood for walks and a gated backyard for play time. Cats should be no issue in the apartment with all the toys and scratchers I have!

Melissa was very communicative, proactive, thorough and followed specific requests to better care for our cat. Our cat is on the shy/grumpy side, and Meli was able to earn her trust and let her pet her. We were very appreciative of the daily updates and pictures. Will definitely book again. Thanks so much Meli!

My cats are a bit rambunctious, and got into a few things in my closet while I was gone and she took care of it, which I so so appreciate. Would absolutely book with her again!
