Pet care experience
Love my cat and dog friends!
Hi! My name is Viola - I live in Oakland and I will look after your cat or dog! I have taken care of cats and dogs all my life - I treat your pet like they are my family! I have significant experience caring for cats and understand their personalities so well! I frequently cat-sit for the neighbors in my building and have checked on 5 different cats in one weekend! If you have a dog that is high energy, I'm happy to take them on runs! I'm very active and enjoy walking, hiking, and running with dogs. I live and work close to parks, dog parks, and open spaces where your dog can get all the socialization and exercise they need. Please let me know if you have a unique schedule, I can always try to accommodate!
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
Your pet(s) will get all the attention and feel loved and cared for while I’m with them. Your home will definitely be in safe hands!
Ratings and reviews
Viola was great during these particularly tricky drop ins. With one kitty recovering from surgery and the other one having territory aggression, it was a lot for any sitter to deal with. But she did a great job and let us know how both our babies were handling it each day. She even stayed longer than the designated time to accommodate our recovering kitty’s needs. A real champ even in the face of a lot of sick kitty hissing (sorry again!) Thanks Viola we appreciate it so much!!
Outstanding job, as always!
Great sitter! Great communication and super accommodating, was happy to make an unexpected extra visit when our flights were canceled. Kitties were well looked after and enjoyed her company.
Viola was great! She met up with with us beforehand so we could talk everything through, met our two cats, and took great care of them while we were gone. She also texted us updates from her visits, e.g. did the cats eat everything, were they playful. Would definitely reach out to her again!
Viola took great care of my cat (Cinnamon) while I was away on a short trip. She made time for a "meet and greet" beforehand, which made me feel more at ease that I was leaving my cat in good hands. Viola kept me updated in a timely manner after each visit. Cinnamon has always been fearful of strangers and I was hesitant to leave her with a sitter, however, I was pleasantly surprised at how quickly she warmed up to Viola. I definitely recommend her as a pet sitter and intend to use her services in the future!
Viola is amazing with Pochi. She sends the best pictures during the walks and it's great to know your baby is in good hands. Definitely will (already have) request again! ??

I work from home so my schedule is more flexible. Checking on your pet is a nice break in my routine and something I look forward to!
