Highlights
Pet care experience
🌟LVL 99 Cat Whisperer • Dog Magnet
I’ve spent a lifetime caring for with cats, dogs, birds, and other small animals—at this point, I’m a level-capped pet sitter with stat bonuses vs shy guys and grumps. 𝐋𝐚𝐫𝐠𝐞 𝐝𝐨𝐠𝐬: I’m strong; I can walk and manage a large dog easily (esp. with a harness). I’m experienced with energetic and anxious dogs who need 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐟𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭 handling. 𝐂𝐚𝐭𝐬: I’m ridiculously good with cats and offer 𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 as an add-on service. I have all the tools and expertise to handle mat removal, brushing, nail trims, and ear cleaning—skills I’ve developed caring for my own cats. 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐈 𝐨𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫: • Follow care instructions as written • Regular photo updates • Respectful of your home and routines • Flexible part-time schedule I work from home part-time, so I can structure visits around your pets’ actual schedules—midday walks, multiple daily check-ins, or extended house sitting. Serving Rockridge and surrounding Oakland neighborhoods and as far as Lafayette/Orinda.

Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Maren is awesome! She was super communicative, and sent a bunch of photos. My cat clearly enjoyed her company, and we are grateful to have her!
This is the second time Maren house/pet/plant sat for over a week. She took excellent care of all three and I was able to feel assured that my pet was in good hands.
Maren was very attentive to our dog and respectful of our home. Our lab still has a good amount of energy at 10 and she kindly gave her nice long walks. Maren also communicated with us and sent pictures to let us know our pup was happy.
Maren has shown me what it really means to understand cats—not just feed them or keep them company but to genuinely connect with them. Her knowledge, instincts, and genuine love for animals are unparalleled. I truly enjoy learning how she approaches each cat with patience, respect, and intuition. Any cat would be lucky to be in her care.
Maren Fox responsible, cares deeply about animals, and is a lovely person overall. She has lots of experience taking care of dogs and cats, and she will take good care of yours. If I were a dog, I'd want her to walk me, and if I were a cat, I'd want her to scoop my poop. She is ready to be your new go-to pet caregiver!
I have two indoor cats and Maren was a fantastic cat sitter. She was very attentive to their needs and personalities. Maren is also a lot of fun and communication with her is relaxed and easy. Leaving pets at home can be stressful, having a sitter who is friendly and easy to talk to makes all the difference.

Schedule
I work part-time from home (and for house sitting, can easily work from yours), so I have a flexible schedule to structure around your pets’ needs — walks, feedings, playtime, grooming, cuddling and companionship.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
At home, I maintain a clean, calm environment with scheduled meals, play, and grooming for my own two beloved cats. Routine and enrichment are key to keeping pets stress-free and content.
