Highlights
Pet care experience
Bonafide Cat Guy & A+ Dog Walker
Hello! First of all, I have no pets of my own, and I don't book multiple clients—yours would be the only one (or ones, if you have more than one). I grew up with cats, usually four or more at a time (thanks, Mom!), so I've been around them my whole life. Recently I've been cat sitting for friends' cats at my place, and I figured I'd start doing the same on Rover until I get my own pair soon. I'm very comfortable with both cats and dogs, and they always get along with me.

Ratings and reviews
Appreciate Augustus looking after Buddy.
Augustus was very responsive to my messages and flexible with pick up and drop off times. He answered all of my questions pre-booking (and without pressure) and sent some pictures showing Leo adjusting to his temporary home for the weekend. He provided a small litter box (I might bring your own if you have a larger cat) and helped carry the cat’s items upstairs and downstairs for me. The cat seemed to enjoy his cat bed by the window and people watching through his big windows. I would use him again.
Augustus took great care of our kitten! He was happy and healthy upon our return and we got photo/video content throughout our trip which we very much enjoyed!
This was our first experience leaving our three cats with a sitter and Augustus took great care of them. He also sent updates with photos and videos and made us feel comfortable that the cats were doing well while we were away. We would definitely leave our cats with Augustus again the next time we need a sitter.
Augustus is great! I knew my cat Baobab would be in good hands. His house was already set up for cats (he even had a little cat window seat). He was very responsive, caring, and gave her lots of love! This was obvious as Baobab came back a happy and relaxed kitty. Will definitely be booking again.
Took great care of my cat Mystery for over a week. Sent some pics throughout the stay which was much appreciated. Was flexible and understanding with the drop off/pick up time which was super helpful for us.

Schedule
I'm a WFH software engineer, so I'm home and around throughout the day. I have a great place for cats to chill: big windows overlooking the street and park, with a perch and lots of light—great for people watching and dog spying, if they're into that sort of thing. There's a good spot for a litter box, and I'm prompt with feeding and fresh water.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
My place is cozy and quiet, with lots of light, good views, and a calm atmosphere that puts cats at ease. There are plenty of spots for a shy cat to hide and decompress until they're comfortable, and I never rush that process. It's a secure indoor space—no open windows or balconies to worry about—so I can keep a close eye on things and make sure your cat stays safe and relaxed the whole stay.
A typical day
For cats: I'm happy to do interactive play with wand toys, laser pointers, or whatever they're into. A typical day is a mix of play sessions, window watching, and plenty of calm downtime to relax and nap on their own terms. For dogs: I live directly across from Moscone Park, which has huge fields to run around in and mingle with other dogs. There's also the Marina dog park at the west end of Moscone, which I'll take them to frequently. A typical day means plenty of outdoor time and exercise, with rest and downtime back at my place in between.
