Cat Sitting Mission Highlands

“Courtney is the dog companion every dog parent could hope for. She takes a personal interest in your pooch to the extent I had the feeling she did nothing but attend individually to my dog's needs for exercise, stimulation, and comfort all day long (we needed her for day sitting while we entered a national preserve that did not allow dogs). She texted pictures of their excursions throughout the day, thus reassuring us that all was well. She also provided tips on local 'in' spots, places to take our dog where we wouldn't need her services, gifted us with homegrown nectarines, and just imagined what she could do to make our visit memorable. We fervently wish we could have Courtney on call wherever we travel, but are so glad she lives and works in one of our all-time favorite vacation spots. Thank you Courtney, and Sedona thanks you as well.”

“We have known Victoria for about a year now and I cannot imagine a more trustworthy, kind, professional, or loving person to have as our pet sitter! She always sends us updated pics at each visit and has been flexible if we need additional things done around the house. Victoria has been WONDERFUL to our 2 cats and has given us such peace of mind while away. We can’t recommend her more!”

“Cathleen went above and beyond when she watched our house and kitty for 9 days. We returned to a spotless home, filled with great energy. It was a great feeling to return to a clean house after a long flight. Our kitty and plants are thriving, thanks to Cathleen’s help.”

“Gianna was an amazing sitter for our cat Eli while we took a short trip out of town. Always arrived promptly at the times to feed and take care of Eli and from the looks of the pictures, he got Cody with her very quickly!! We will definitely be using her services again.”

“I cannot say enough good things about Alex and how well he took care of our two cats while we were away for a week. He was so on top of everything, sent detailed updates and photos with every check-in and it was just so nice to be able to enjoy our vacation without worrying if our cats were in good hands. I would HIGHLY recommend him and will definitely be using him again in the future!”

“I couldn't have asked for a better person to take care of my cat Scrub while I was away this past weekend. As soon as I met. Krista, I felt that we had found someone who would care for Scrub just as I would and with the need for her new medications it was really comforting to realize that there would be someone there to take care of Scrub with the same care that I would. I would recommend Krista to anyone without hesitation and look forward to working with her again. Thank you so much! Krista, you really made my weekend much less stressful and I thank you for that. Peace Jeff and Scrub”

About: 🐾Why I love pet sitting I love that pet sitting allows me to combine companionship, responsibility, and a slower, more present way of living. Every animal has their own routine and personality, and I enjoy learning what makes each one feel comfortable and happy. Whether that means going for a walk, spending quiet time together, playing, or simply keeping them company, I want the animals in my care to feel at home and well loved. I also understand how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pets with someone else. My goal is to provide dependable care while respecting the routines and instructions that each pet parent has established. ✨About me I have worked for myself off and on since 2015, with a background in fashion design and printmaking. My creative work has always given me an appreciation for detail, patience, and working independently. In my 20s, I lived in a meditation community, where I practiced daily yoga and developed a deeper appreciation for mindfulness, simplicity, and being present. I eventually found my way into pet sitting in 2022 while living in Phoenix. Since then, caring for animals has become a very meaningful part of my life. I have since moved back to California and now dedicate most of my time to caring for animals. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each animal’s personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their people are away. My pet care & house-sitting routine When I house sit, I like to keep your pets’ normal routine as consistent as possible. My days typically include: * 🐾 Morning: Feedings, fresh water, potty break, and a morning walk or outdoor time. * 🐾 Throughout the day: Potty breaks, playtime, enrichment, cuddles, and plenty of companionship. * 🐾 Evening: Dinner, another walk or outdoor time, and settling into their usual nighttime routine. * 🐾 House care: Bring in the mail and packages, water plants as needed, take out trash, and keep the home clean and tidy. * 🐾 Updates: I’m happy to send photos and updates so you know how everyone is doing while you’re away. I’m flexible and always happy to follow your pets’ specific routines, needs, and preferences. When I stay in a client’s home, I treat it with the same care and respect I would my own. My priority is keeping your pets comfortable and maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible. I make sure they receive their meals on schedule, fresh water, regular potty breaks, walks, play and enrichment, and plenty of affection and companionship. I pay attention to their individual personalities and needs, whether they want lots of activity and attention or prefer a quieter, more relaxed day. I do leave the house periodically for my own errands, walks, or activities, but I make sure your pets receive dedicated one-on-one time throughout the day and aren’t simply left alone for long periods. While I’m there, I also keep the home tidy, bring in mail and packages, take out trash, and take care of any agreed-upon household tasks. I’m respectful of your space and routines, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident that your pets—and your home—are being well cared for.

“She's a wonderful sitter. Patient and affectionate with our pet(s). My only worry is that good reviews like this will mean she's too booked for a return sitting!”

About: I have owned and cared for dogs, cats and many other animals almost my entire thirty years of life. I've had rescue dogs, senior dogs, small dogs and large dogs, cats, sheep, chickens, rabbits, and gineau pigs. My friends and family describe me as an "animal whisperer," because animals seem to gravitate towards my gentle nature. I have also worked professionaly as a pet sitter through Fetch and Trusted Housesitters and received positive feedback for my excellent communication and attentive care. Animals are my passion and I have worked in wildlife conservation for the past several years and have experience observing, and handling animals safely and compassionately and am comfortable caring for birds, reptiles, fish and arthropods. I bring that same care and attention to every pet I look after, ensuring your animals are happy, healthy, and loved while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule and can dedicate plenty of time to caring for pets and homes. I am attentive and committed, and I can provide regular updates, walks, feedings, or playtime as needed. I treat every home and pet as if they were my own. When caring for pets in their homes, I Follow all feeding, medication, and exercise instructions carefully, provide companionship and attention, including playtime, walks, and quiet cuddles, monitor pets for any health or behavior changes and communicate updates regularly. I Keep the home clean and organized, including tidying up after pets, taking out trash, and ensuring everything is secure. Respect routines and preferences: whether pets like lots of interaction or prefer quiet space.

About: I’ve walked, cared for and raised more animals than I can count, I’d love to help with any pet needs! From Pointers to Pit Bulls, to Yorkies! Always willing to run, walk and play with your pets! I like to go on walks and/or runs for Cardio and like to have the company. Mornings of Evenings could work depending on the day usually Weeks I am the most free! I always make sure follow written/ my noted directions to make sure feeding times, walk times and any other matter isn’t an issue with my/your property or your pet.

“This was the first time hiring a pet sitter for my cat and I really lucked out finding Nicoletta. Riley seemed to warm up to Nicoletta very quickly and she took really great care of him. I appreciated all the pictures, videos and updates. Nicoletta even walked Riley outside on his leash which isn't always easy to do with a cat. I'm so happy to have found someone I can count on and trust to take great care of my little cat boy when I'm away from home.”

About: Animals have been a cherished part of my life for over 30 years, and I understand that our pets are truly members of the family. Whether they’re playful, affectionate, independent, shy, or a little quirky, I believe every animal deserves patience, kindness, and individualized attention. I have extensive personal experience caring for both dogs and cats and appreciate their unique personalities and needs. From energetic dogs who love attention and companionship to independent cats who prefer affection on their own terms, I enjoy building trust and helping animals feel safe, comfortable, and loved. As a registered nurse, I bring an additional level of responsibility, compassion, and attention to detail to pet care. I’m experienced in following detailed care instructions, maintaining consistent routines, and recognizing subtle changes in behavior or well-being. I understand how especially important this can be for senior pets or animals who need a little extra patience and attention. I also know how much trust it takes to leave your beloved companions in someone else’s care. My goal is to provide the same warmth, respect, and attentiveness I would want for my own pets, while keeping you connected through regular updates, photos, and open communication. Whether your furry family member needs companionship, playtime, reassurance, or simply a calm and caring presence, I would love the opportunity to get to know them! I currently have a flexible schedule that allows me to thoughtfully plan pet care around each animal’s individual needs. I enjoy peaceful environments, spending time with animals, and maintaining familiar routines. I believe consistency and companionship make a meaningful difference in helping pets feel comfortable while their families are away. I prefer to discuss each pet’s schedule, personality, and care requirements in advance so I can make sure we’re a wonderful fit. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my priorities. I understand how much trust it takes to welcome someone into your home and entrust them with a beloved family member. As a registered nurse, I’m accustomed to maintaining safe environments, following detailed instructions, and paying close attention to changes that may require additional care or communication. I respect each household’s routines, boundaries, and preferences. I take care to maintain a clean, peaceful environment, secure doors and gates, and follow feeding, medication, and household instructions carefully. I believe in open communication and will provide updates and photos throughout our time together. My goal is for you to return to a happy, comfortable pet and a home that has been treated with care and respect.

About: As Confucius said, "Choose a job you love, and you will never work a day in your life." I began pet sitting throughout high school and from there my passion for animals grew. I am currently employed as a veterinary assistant although my ultimate goal is to attend veterinary school one day! I love being able to help families and their fur-babies. I am comfortable with administering medications and injections (such as insulin). I have cared for medically complex senior furry friends. I am currently taking a leave of absence from work and therefore have more free time available to pet sit! Pet sitting for family, friends, and pre-existing clients is currently my full time job until I return to my vet assistant role 😊 When caring for pets in their own homes, I like to keep things very neat and organized. I will typically wash bed sheets or at least remove bed sheets if spending the night. I will also bring my own groceries and supplies with me so as to not disturb the home. I do my best to spend the majority of my day in the home with the pet providing company.

“Such a great experience working with Kayla.”
