About: I've been a cat lover my whole life. While growing up, my mom's allergies prevented me from having a cat of my own, so I only had dogs. You can only imagine my joy when my neighbours would ask me to be their cat sitter! When I got married, one of the first things I did was adopt my own cats: Pablo, our 15-year-old tuxedo cuddle monster who we’ve had for 13 years; and Bernie, our spirited 5-year-old brown tabby we adopted as a kitten. To this day, I still have friends and new neighbour who ask me to be their cat sitter when they go out of town. As cat parent, I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust to care for your cat while you’re away, and I’d love to help make your time away a little easier—for you and your cat! Whether it’s to feed them, clean their litter box, playing with them, or just some comforting company, you can rest assured they'll receive the same attention I give my own cats. I'm also comfortable taking care of small and medium-sized dogs if they are also part of your family, and you can also rely on me to water your indoor and outdoor plants, collect your mail, and bring in your bins if it’s the end of collection day. I'm currently prioritizing cat care for my clients. For most of the year, I am available 7 days a week to your home to check on and care for your fur babies. I will come to your home as requested to feed your cats, change their water, and scoop their litter. If they need additional care with brushing, exercise, or other attention, please let me know.

“Angela did an excellent job taking care of my two cats, one of them requiring two pills per day for his GI lymphoma. She even took care of a perishable delivery which came for me while I was gone. I recommend Angela highly.”

I’m comfortable caring for dogs with different needs and personalities—and yes, they’re more than welcome to snuggle up and sleep on my bed! I have a dog of my own who’s a big part of my life, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet.

About: I currently have three cats. They say I’m their favorite human. They trained me to ensure I have optimal skills with the laser pointer. I’m also an expert feather dangler thanks to them. They also say I do a great job with the litter box, they rave how it’s always fresh and clean. I use to have a shitzu, but she who shall not be named kept her. But I’m still the shitzu’s favorite human. I currently work full time in Hayward. Monday - Friday 9am to 5pm. If you are in the area I can stop by during my lunch break. I am in upper management so I do have the freedom to come and go. As long as I get my 40 hrs in. I am available to care for your pets after work and all day on weekends. Since I have three cats and I live in an apartment, I don’t plan on doing many in home boarding. We all know cats are territorial. But I’m more than willing to stop by your home and visit your fur babies.

“Tisha was superb! She was scheduled drop-in services twice a day, primarily to feed our fur babies. We appreciate her great communication and daily pics requested. During our meet and greet, she asked if there was anything else she could. She went above our expectations. We highly recommend Tisha and will definitely use her again.”

About: I am very intuitive when it comes to emotions. It is easy for me to read when pups need some grounding, when they need to be taken away to calm down, when they are unwell and what kind of social engagement they like. This is why I get along with 98% of all the animals I've met and why I'm excited to meet some new furry friends! I'm currently looking for a full time job but in the meantime I have an open schedule and I want to use this time to work as many Rover sitter jobs as I can, I can't think of a better part time job to have! When I care for other peoples pets I make sure to ask a core set of important questions to better understand each animals unique needs. I respect life above all else; its very important to me to do the best job I can to keep the living beings under my care happy, safe and healthy. I also like to leave the spaces I stay in cleaner than I found them so I make sure the kitchen and the main living room are orderly and clean.

“My cat Half Pint is so comfortable with Katie that she curls up on her lap. The attention Katie gives to my cats continues to be exceptional.”

About: I have always had a deep love for dogs, having been surrounded by them since childhood. My journey as a dog owner officially began four years ago after we bought our first house.

“Thank you, Dani, for yet another awesome job well done with Giacomo and Geppetto! Dani is our go-to for taking care of our two fur babies when we are out of town. She is responsible, communicative, reliable, and great with animals. Our cats tend to be shy around anyone other than me or my husband, but they love Dani! She does a great job of making them feel comfortable by cuddling and playing with them. Highly recommend Dani!!!”

About: I have owned dogs and cats since I was 10 years old. I have been dog sitting for our neighbors and friends for the past 12 years. I am experienced with handling dogs of different sizes and temperaments. I am used to medicating pets, both my own and for the ones I am temporarily taking care of. I have volunteered with the Humane Society at different stages in my life and have fostered dogs and cats with them. I am now in a situation where I have a house and yard big enough to enjoy the company of more dogs or cats. I love animals and have two dogs and a cat. I work from home and can devote 100% attention to the animals I am taking care of. I work from home at least 4 of 5 days. I go on 30-45 minute walks twice every day and my puppies get access to our yard throughout the day. For cats they have access to a separate area of the house that has doggie gates, in case they want their alone time. I have a fenced yard that the puppies have access to during the day. They are never left outside unattended and will be always accompanied by a human. I also have doggie crates and beds inside the house if that's what the puppy prefers. For cats they have access to a separate area of the house that has doggie gates, in case they want their alone time.
