Cat Sitting Monte Toyon

“Very thoughtful and patient with Mischka, who is reactive and can be a handful sometimes. I really appreciated the photo of him going potty since I worry that he won’t get it done with a stranger. But he did! What a relief! Thank you so much!”

I have experience with feeding routines, dog walking, and daily pet care.

About: What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I give every pet. I don’t believe in rushing through a visit or simply checking a box. I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality, energy level, and routine so they feel comfortable, safe, and genuinely cared for. I’m dependable, patient, and highly communicative. Whether your dog needs an energetic walk, your cat prefers a quiet companion, or your pet simply needs consistency while you’re away, I’ll provide care that’s tailored to their individual needs. As someone who leads an active lifestyle, I’m happy to keep energetic dogs engaged while also recognizing when a pet needs a slower pace. I’ll always respect your instructions, provide regular photo and message updates, and treat your home and your pets with the same care and respect I’d expect for my own.

In your home, I’ll treat your space with the same respect I would my own by keeping it clean, secure, and making sure doors, gates, and leashes are always properly managed. During walks, I stay alert to my surroundings and prioritize your dog’s safety at all times. I know that trust is earned, so I’ll provide regular updates and photos throughout my visits. My goal is for you to feel confident that your pet is receiving dependable, compassionate care and plenty of attention while you’re away.

“He was very caring and patient with my shy kitty’s and they warmed up well to him!”

“Yuliya is definitely a cat person, and our cats took to her right away! Our older cat Plum can be a little prickly if overstimulated, so seeing pictures of her rubbing up against Yuliya’s leg made me feel secure that my cat felt comfortable and safe. We also loved seeing photos of our younger, more active cat Lyra getting plenty of play time and affection. She understood and expressed the importance of routines for cats, especially when their people are away, and her care for our cats reflected that. Our cats have a fairly complicated food routine, and Yuliya did well adhering to it. Part way through our trip, she noticed that one of our cat’s food was running low, let us know, and even measured out how many portions were left to ensure there would be enough to last the rest of our trip. We are the type of cat owners who appreciate very detailed visit summaries, and it would’ve been great to have had a little more of that, but we did receive lots of photos and enough written updates to feel that our cats were in safe and caring hands. Thank you, Yuliya!”

“Marley looked after our cats during an extended vacation and it was such a relief knowing they were in good hands and being checked on regularly by someone we trust.”

About: I’m Cynthia, your go-to pet sitter for personalized, worry-free care. With years of experience across breeds and ages, I offer walks, play, feeding, medication management, and peace of mind through photo updates and open communication. Available for in-home visits or boarding in a loving, secure environment. I'm currently working PT and have time in early morning and evening to walk dogs and care for cats. I'm usually home by 3pm every day so I will have plenty of time to socialize with your pets. My place is a duplex with a fenced yard and 2 bedrooms, so your pet can stay in their own room. I'm also available to stay at owner's house if that is preferred.

“Celeste took really good care of my cat. She sent me updates everyday on how he was doing. He seemed to really loved her and she was able to give him his inhaler when he needed it along with feeding him at his according time. Definitely would rebook with her again.”

“Myrka was absolutely fantastic with my young puppy! She took on great care of him (and made sure he didn’t get into any trouble)! She was also very quick to respond, arrived early, and very professional. Highly recommend!”

About: I’m a 22 year old college graduate looking to fulfill her hopes of pet setting once again! Being a full time student meant busy weeks, leaving no time for pet care. Something I actively did before transferring to UCSC. But with this newfound, post-graduate freedom, I’m eager to get back into the gig. Besides caring for my own kitties, I’ve worked with 7 clients over the past four years. All of which have been dog sitting gigs, with one job including an additional 3 cats (if that makes sense haha). And in my time as a sitter I’ve had four consistent clients. Additionally, I’m more than willing to sit for most dogs/ cats regardless of age, size, energy level, etc. It is my job (and such a privilege) to ensure their needs are met! Worth a mention - I’ve not had any experience in pet training, but I’m committed to being the best companion to the little loves! I can’t wait to connect with you and your fur-babies! I’m hoping to fill my week days (which are fairly open as of late) with pet care! Connecting with animals is truly such a rewarding job. Knowing I can make your life easier, and also that your pets are happy fills my heart with oodles of joy. My housing agreement unfortunately states that I can’t allow pets on to the premises. However, I’m extremely comfortable staying in/ visiting other spaces. Being respectful of your space is one of my top priorities.

“Allyn was great. Highly recommend. Made friends with my wary cat. Super communication. Did the little stuff too. Thank you.”

About: I’ve taken care of my neighbors’ dogs for years, helping with walks, feeding, playtime, and basic care. I also have a Yorkie of my own, so I truly understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. I’ve dog sat for friends with both big and small dogs, as well as cats, and I always make sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. What sets me apart is my patience, reliability, and my genuine enjoyment of spending time with animals, especially on long walks where dogs get to explore, exercise, and have fun. I currently attend community college four mornings a week, which means I’m free most of the day for pet care. This gives me plenty of time for walks, drop-in visits, playtime, and extended care. I’m flexible, reliable, and happy to work around your pet’s routine to make sure they get the attention they deserve. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I always focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow each pet’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and rest. I make sure dogs get plenty of exercise through walks and outdoor time, and I give lots of attention, affection, and positive reinforcement. For cats, I provide calm care, feeding, litter maintenance, and gentle interaction at their comfort level. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos so they always know how their pet is doing.

About: I’ve had the amazing opportunity to grow up having a wide range of pets. Dogs, cats, birds, ducks, cows, pigs, reptiles, fish, guinea pigs you name it! It’s provided me so much insight on different types of pets, how to care for them, how to adapt and how to love them all in their own way. I’m a retired veteran with a part time job and other than that i just do what I’m passionate about. I love to be in nature, go on walks, enjoy the sunshine and be apart of community in any way i can. So with all that being said i’m usually free, able to work something out or bring them along for the adventures! I make sure to treat everyone’s pets or just animals in general with love, respect and kindness. I will always make sure your pet is safe and happy!

“Isolyn is a trustworthy pet care provider who I would definitely recommend. She did a marvelous job caring for my two elderly cats while we were away. I appreciated her frequent updates and photos!”

Mary L.

“Another terrific set of services from Denise while we were on vacation. All went well and smoothly. Denise sent us pics, which our other pet-sitter did not, and we enjoyed (and felt comforted) seeing that all was well while we were away. Thanks for your help, Denise!”

About: I have taken care of animals since I was a kid. I have taken care of dogs, cats, guinea pigs, bearded dragons. My family, friends and neighbors have trusted me to care for their pets for several years now and I always treat them as if they are my own. I am currently working during the day as a delivery driver so my schedule is flexible. I mostly work during the times from 11am-2pm, 5pm-9pm, 11:30pm-2am. I would have plenty of time to play, walk and sit with your animals during the week/weekend and I am able to stay with your fur babies while you go out of town. I live at a house with two other cats and my dog Charley. I am available and willing to sit with your fur babies at your home and I am well equipped with using kennels and crates if that is required.

“Reliable and trustworthy! Genuinely an animal lover, and skilled at that. Great at following detailed instructions.”
