Cat Sitting Mendenhall Springs

About: Hi my name is Allison, I am an experienced dog and cat sitter who has been pet sitting for 6 years. I also have my own pets who I adore, a charcoal lab and a black cat. I am an active caretaker, and can walk and play with animals easily. Looking for summer work as I am on summer break through the school district I work for. Please reach out with any questions! I currently work in the Pleasanton School District, therefore I have summers off and available. I am looking to pet sit for the summer until August. I have very flexible availability, and am easy to work with. I love all dogs and have my own that I adore! I can take your pets for walks, play with them in the house and the backyard as long as it is fenced. As someone who cares for your animals at your house, I am respectful of your space and make sure the priority is the care for your animals.

About: I love all kinds of pets from furry ones to scaly ones and have always loved being around them and caring for them and their needs I’m currently working full time but I work graveyard shifts so I am always available on Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday and any other days I’m available in the afternoon I live in an apartment with my lovely fur babies and am super excited to take care of your pets and help with any needs they may have

About: I’ve taken care of my cat for 5 years, volunteered 1 year at the Valley Humane Society for cat-care, and have taken care of my sisters, and friends dogs here-and-there. My cat is trained and knows how to sit, stand, twirl, lie down, jump, and give a paw. If I can train a cat, I can deal with your dog. My dog care experience is limited, but, this means I will just be even more cautious and will research the in’s and out’s of dog care like a detective in order to make sure I will get everything right. If you have any specific instructions, I will gladly listen and follow them to a tee. I am great at looking through the eyes of the pet, and adapting my behavior to specific personalities and temperaments. I am great with kids and am creative in the ways I play. My household has 3 adults, 1 senior, and 1 black cat. They will not assist with caretaking but may lightly interact with the pet. The house includes a backyard with a pool and tree-house. Tons of cat toys, cat tree, and a cat-proofed home. 1 huge window to the backyard, and 1 huge window to the front yard (the 2 cat-TV’s 📺), which is perfect for cats to watch the squirrels and birds frolick and the rain and leaves fall. My house is close to the Arroyo River trail, which is a perfect place for dog-walking. Your pet will be cared for, engaged, filled up with safe food, and all-set for a good nights sleep. I go to community college 15 minutes away from my house; and so will be home often. I will have time to take care of your pet after college hours. My home, cat: Your cat will first be placed into my room, and slowly introduced with my cat by scent. If it is clear that the cats are friendly with each other, I may introduce Abraham into the room if it is okay with the owner.* The cat will stay in this room for the night.* I will give the cats necessary space, avoid eye contact until they are comfortable, and will not pet unless they clearly are enjoying it. In the room, the cats will have its own bed, cat tree, litter box, tons of toys and safe spaces where it can retreat to. This room is cat-proofed (wires are hidden or wrapped with hard plastic; no places where it can escape, etc.) Your cat will be 100% safe with me, and will have a lot of fun! Your home, cat: I will interact with your cat in the same respectful way as above ^. I will obey the rules of your home and make sure that I know where the cat is. I am great at engaging even the most bored cats with play, and know how to make it exciting for them. My home, dog: Only small dogs and no overnight. I have a small cat at home, and a large dog will likely scare him. At my house, your dog will enjoy the company of 3 adults and will get to explore a backyard with a pool + tree house. The backyard is fenced, but has much shorter fences on the left-side aisle, and a tree that can be used to escape— so the pup will be leashed at all times or put in a crate (if you have a crate to provide, that would be great!) My house is very close to the Arroyo River trail, which is the perfect place for a dog walk. I will play with your pup like they are my own child! I am creative with the ways I play and try to show them new things. Your dog will be engaged with, fed safe food, supervised and set for a great nights sleep. Your home, dog: I will research the needs of your specific dog breed and comply as precisely as possible. I’ll obey the rules of your home and make sure your dog is entertained, fed, and happy at the end of the day.

“Gabrielle let my dogs out while I was gone for the day. The dogs really liked her, especially the boxer. She sent photos and a video that were absolutely adorable.”

About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats my entire life and have over 25 years of experience. Currently, my pets, Luna and Nala, are staying with family in Southern California while I’m on a temporary assignment in Northern California. I have experience with walking, feeding, bathing, and even caring for pets with special needs. Whether it’s playing with energetic pups or offering comfort to senior pets, I provide reliable and loving care tailored to each pet’s needs. I work full time but I’m home by 4 PM each day, so I’m available for evening walks and boarding. On weekends, I’m always home and can dedicate even more time to caring for your pets. My flexible schedule allows me to provide personalized attention, especially on weekends. I live in an apartment with a small fenced patio where pets can safely roam and get fresh air. While I currently don’t have any pets of my own, I have plenty of space and a cozy environment to ensure your pet feels comfortable and cared for. If needed, I can also crate pets for added safety during their stay.

About: I am not yet ready to have another pet of my own, so I get great comfort from sharing my love and affection with those families that need it. I have had dogs, cats, a rabbit and a horse throughout my childhood years. My love bug, a 140lb Rottweiler, was the best partner a young woman could have. It was very hard saying goodbye to him. I understand the amount of time, love and attention our pets require of us and I’m happy to be part of the team that can help reduce the concerns when apart or busy. I’ve dog sat at others homes. I’ve kept dogs with me at mine. I’m flexible and understand that each owner has their own unique preferences for the way they want their family member taken care of. I look forward to getting to know you and your loved one! I’m exploring my freedom from corporate life and currently have a lot of open time in my schedule. I’m looking to stay active and walking is a key part of that. I’d love to have a companion to get out and putting the miles on my step counter. I would prefer caring for your pet in a setting more familiar to them, their own home when possible. I know that each owner has unique standards that they want followed and I welcome having detailed instructions and information to follow. Outside of the guidelines that I might get, I’m happy to play, do some basic training, build the pet’s confidence and nurture with attention and affection.

“Amanda was great with all of our cats and they have all gotten very comfortable around her which gave us great peace of mind while away. Will definitely use her again!”

About: I’ve grown up with many different animals, including dogs, cats, snakes, and fish. I am currently living with two dogs and I adore them so much! I currently am working part-time Sunday through Thursday, and can commit to morning/afternoon check-in (before noon) as well as night time check-ins (after 5 pm). I will ensure your fur baby is well fed and taken care of! I will also make sure they have someone to play with while you’re away!

About: I grew up in a home with my parents being dog breeders, behavioral coaching, and dog showmanship. I later went on to rescue and foster cats and animals. Over the years I’ve been animals-sat for families ranging from dogs, cats, chickens, and fish. I’m looking forward to meeting your fur baby and creating a comfortable stress free environment while you’re away. I currently work part-time and it’s primarily remote with the occasional work event. Events typically run on the weekends for 4-5 hours. On Tuesdays and Thursdays I’m out of the house from 2-5pm. I’m an early riser and late sleeper with no issues on working around your animals schedule. I have 2 parks within walking distance and a back open berm behind my home. My backyard is fully fenced in and very spacious. I have the ability to crate your dog and allocate a feed and water area. I live on a quiet street and I have no worries with walking your animal multiple times a day or working around a specific feeding schedule.

“Nicole watched over my German shepherd for a week and did couple of daily checks-in. She was very good with her communication and follow ups and took great care of Rio - who really enjoyed her company.”

About: We (Jerry and Joy) have been known for taking care of our friends’ dogs as if they are our own. From few hours to 5 weeks, dogs of different sizes have been under our care which had led to many of our friends recommending us to start Rover. Jerry is a runner and recreational tennis player, he feels confident providing the best physical care for the puppies — going out on runs and doing indoor tugging activities. Joy likes staying at home more, and she will always be looking out to see if the puppies are comfortable and pouring them with love. Also, be prepared to get showered with tons of pics and stories of how your puppies spent their time during their stay, we will send you as many as we can take! Our dog-friendly place in a very cozy community in Livermore will be a safe, quiet heaven for your puppies — with a spacious park nearby, including a fenced dog park, where puppies can enjoy running while on/off leash (I prefer not doing off-leash when outside unless it's fenced yard or dog park). As a dedicated dog lover with a full-time job (weekdays, 6 am to 4 PM but can come home for lunch around 11 am), I’ve structured my schedule to ensure your furry friend gets the best care possible. Also, Joy would spend her most of time at home with your puppy. Here’s what you can expect: - Reliable Availability: We plan potty breaks at least three times a day—typically around 7-8 AM, 12 PM-2 PM, and 10-11 PM—so your pup’s needs are always met. - Plenty of Companionship: Your dog will have company for most of the day, with alone time never exceeding 8 hours. - Daily Exercise: We take multiple short walks every day, giving your pup fresh air and a chance to stretch their legs. - Flexible Coordination: We are happy to work with you to ensure your dog’s care schedule fits seamlessly with mine. - Personalized Attention: Every pup in our care receives love, attention, and care tailored to their specific needs. Rest assured, your four-legged family member will be in loving and responsible hands while you’re away! We live in a dog-friendly condo in a safe and welcoming residential area of Livermore. Our home is located right next to a fully fenced dog park, where your pup can safely sniff, run around, and socialize with other friendly dogs. This ensures they get plenty of exercise and mental stimulation during their stay. For added peace of mind, we have a reliable car and am prepared to transport your pet to the nearest veterinary urgent care if needed. Our 3-story code is clean, secure, and designed with pets in mind, offering a comfortable environment where your furry friend will feel right at home. Whether it’s playtime at the park or cozy downtime indoors, your dog will be cared for in a safe, enriching environment that prioritizes their happiness and well-being.

“10/10 would have Garret care for my pets again! He was attentive and flexible with scheduling. He gave my cat all the attention, pets, and play that she needed while we were gone. Ensured daily videos and photos, which were truly appreciated. Would recommend Garret to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”

About: Hi! I'm a lifelong dog lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I understand that every dog is unique, and I take the time to learn their routines, preferences, and needs so they feel comfortable, safe, and happy while in my care. What sets me apart is my experience with basic dog training and leash training. I know the importance of reinforcing good habits during walks, using positive encouragement, consistency, and patience. Whether your pup is working on loose-leash walking, learning manners, or simply needs extra attention and exercise, I'm happy to help maintain the routines you've worked hard to establish. I'm dependable, attentive, and treat every dog like they're my own. You can expect plenty of love, playtime, exercise, and photo updates so you always know how your furry family member is doing. Whether your dog loves long walks, belly rubs, playing fetch, or just having a companion nearby, I'm committed to providing a fun, safe, and caring experience. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, and I take that responsibility seriously. I can't wait to meet you and your pup! 🐶❤️ Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I have a flexible schedule and can dedicate quality time and attention to each pet in my care. I enjoy being active and spending time outdoors, so dog walks and playtime are something I genuinely look forward to each day. For cats, I'm happy to provide companionship, feeding, litter box care, and check-ins that fit their individual needs and routines. Because of my flexibility, I'm available for morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend visits. I understand how important consistency is for pets, so I make it a priority to follow their regular schedule as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. My goal is to provide reliable, attentive care and make sure every pet receives the time, exercise, and affection they deserve. When I watch any pets at someone else’s home I make sure the animals are comfortable with me before the owner leaves. Then I’m constantly monitoring the animals and the environment they’re in, so nothing harmful happens to the animals.
