Cat Sitting Mountain House

“Emily was very friendly and easy to work with, and she took great care of our kitty while we were away for a week. She sent us reassuring and helpful updates, and we came home to a happy cat and a clean “cat room” as well. We’ve already rebooked for our next trip, and would definitely recommend her.”

About: I’ve cared for dogs since I was 10, including six Chihuahuas, a Pit Bull, and now a Border Collie and Australian Shepherd. I’m experienced with different personalities, energy levels, and needs, and I understand the importance of patience, consistency, exercise, and affection. What sets me apart is my lifelong hands on experience and genuine love for animals, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I currently work part-time while completing my RBT certification, which gives me a flexible schedule and availability to take on pet-sitting opportunities. I’m looking to fill some of my extra hours by providing dependable, attentive care for pets. I’m available for overnight stays and can work with each pet’s individual routine and needs. I’m responsible, reliable, and committed to making sure your pets receive plenty of attention, care, and companionship while you’re away. I follow each pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention. I provide patient, loving care while keeping their environment clean, safe, and comfortable. I’m happy to follow any specific instructions or routines your pet is used to.

About: Dogs and cats have been a part of my whole life! Having just moved to California from New Hampshire, I wanted to give Rover a try to meet people, meet some furry friends, and get some exercise in. I have worked previously in animal shelters and fully believe that animals all deserve to be loved and cared for, no matter what. I have experience with selective dogs as well. I’m very accommodating to whatever you and your fur babies need to be safe and comfortable! * I’m available Monday through Friday between the hours of 7am to 4pm * Rover is my full-time job so I’m very flexible * Holidays may vary Owning a reactive dog myself, I understand how important precarious measures are! I will do whatever is needed to ensure the best care for your fur babies! Whether it be a walk, play time in a fenced area, or a couch cuddle to give them some company!

“I can’t say enough wonderful things about Justine. I had a sitter no show the morning of my trip and was honestly panicking. Justine stepped in with only a couple of hours’ notice, came right over, asked smart, caring questions, and immediately put me at ease. My two rabbits, Bunbun and Baby, have very unique care needs, and I’m normally pretty nervous leaving them. Justine was attentive, communicative, and so thorough. She kept me updated every step of the way, check-ins, updates, and tons of photos every day. She even brought my garbage can back in from the street, which was so thoughtful. What impressed me most is that Bunbun and Baby seemed to warm up to her faster than they usually would with someone new, which says everything about her calm, patient energy. I felt completely comfortable having her in my home and for the first time, I was able to just enjoy my vacation without worry. I’m so genuinely grateful Justine was there. She turned what could have been a disaster into such a positive experience. Reliable, compassionate, and above and beyond. Thank you, Justine!”

“We were so happy with the care our dog received from Rylie. She went above and beyond with our golden retriever. We were on a 9 day vacation and she came three times a day and walked our dog once a day. We weren’t expecting our dog to get sick while she was here and have several accidents around our house. She handled the situation very professionally. She didn’t complain or get upset. She took care of it without any hesitation. She even went to the store and bought her more food and pumpkin to calm her belly. It worked out and she felt better and we were so relieved that we didn’t have to worry about our dog while in her care. I highly recommend this sweet young lady to anyone looking for a competent and loving dog sitter.”

“Katie was great. I was kept informed on my kitties, and they were well fed, boxes were cleaned and I got pictures. So reassuring to know someone was checking on them will use her again!”

About: I have loved and cared for animals for most of my life. I have had my own dog since I was 11, so I understand the responsibility, patience, and attention that pets need every day. I have also cared for hamsters and have experience watching my family’s pets as well as neighbors’ pets. Whether it’s feeding, walking, playing, giving attention, or making sure pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away, I’m very dependable and caring.

I’m available in the mornings and evenings, which gives me plenty of flexibility to work pet care into my routine. I’m also available for overnight care and can come directly to your home so your cat can stay comfortable in their own familiar environment. I’m happy to care for your cat in your home and follow their normal routine as closely as possible. I’ll make sure they are fed, have fresh water, have a clean litter box, and get the right amount of playtime, attention, or space depending on their personality. I’ll also keep your home tidy and send updates and photos so you can feel comfortable knowing your cat is being well cared for while you’re away.

About: I have taken care of pets my whole life. Growing up, I had four cats, and still do cat-care on weekends. I have more recently pet-sat for dogs, and taken both smaller and larger dogs on walks (from a Shih-Poo to a Bernese Mountain Dog). I will take care of your fur baby like I would take care of my own. I just graduated college, so I can spend the majority of my week walking and pet-sitting for all of your needs. Although I am set to one-day book at the earliest, I am open to same-day inquiries if needed. When taking care of cats, I love to let them warm up to me on their own, cuddle, and play when they want to! I will always take lots of pictures and give your pets lots of love.

“Very trustworthy and would definitely recommend Jen. She paid a couple of drop in visits to look after our cat Bella and we could not be happier with the service Jen provided. Not only did she pay attention to all the details we left her but she also gave excellent recaps after each visit. It's clear she's a genuine animal lover and our cat (who is usually shy) was comfortable approaching her.”

About: 🐾Love By Pets. Recommended by humans. Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with decades of hands-on experience caring for animals of all ages, sizes, breeds, temperaments, and care levels. Improving the lives of animals is my passion. Every pet that enters my care is treated like family, receiving the same love, patience, respect, protection and individualized attention I would want for my own beloved pets. Whether you have a puppy, a fragile senior, a pregnant or nursing mother, a shy rescue, or a pet with medical, behavioral, or anxiety-related challenges, I provide compassionate, personalized care tailored to their unique needs. My goal is to create a safe, enriching, stress-free and FUN experience that allows pets to thrive while giving their owners complete peace of mind. ✨ Experience Includes: • All ages. Puppies, kittens (bottle feeding ok 👍🏻), seniors, and hospice care • Pregnant animals and nursing mothers • Medication administration and specialized care plans • Medical, behavioral, and anxiety-related conditions • Fearful, reactive, rescue, and special-needs pets • Giant breeds (120–200+ lbs), toy breeds, and everything in between • Bully breeds, guardian breeds, working dogs, and high-drive breeds • Exotic and specialty felines • Birds, reptiles, and small animals • Multi-pet households My experience extends far beyond traditional pet sitting. I have spent years working with animal rescues and participating in Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) and community cat programs, helping care for and advocate for vulnerable animals. These experiences have given me a deep understanding of animal behavior, body language, trust-building, and how to safely handle pets with a wide range of personalities and backgrounds. I have also been honored to participate in efforts supporting families through the Make-A-Wish Foundation, including helping facilitate meaningful visits for children whose wish was to spend time with animals and pets. These experiences further strengthened my commitment to compassion, reliability, and providing comfort during life’s most meaningful moments. Caring for others—both human and animal—is at the heart of everything I do. Communication is one of my highest priorities. You’ll receive regular updates, photos, and honest communication throughout your pet’s stay so you can relax and enjoy your time away knowing your family member is safe, happy, and loved. 💗 What Makes My Care Different? • Personalized, one-on-one attention for the duration  • Flexible and accommodating scheduling • Solo daycare available upon request • Extended stays welcome • Customized routines tailored to your pet • Calm, loving, family-oriented environment • Experience with pets requiring advanced handling skills • Care from someone who genuinely loves animals and understands their individual needs Many of my clients become long-term members of my pet-care family. I’m proud to have earned the trust of repeat clients who rely on me to care for everything from tiny teacups and exotic pets to giant breeds, working dogs, bully breeds, seniors, rescues, and pets with complex medical or behavioral needs. I understand that leaving your pet with someone else is a big decision. That’s why I focus on building trust, maintaining open communication, and ensuring every pet feels safe, comfortable, understood, and loved from the moment they arrive. I look forward to welcoming your furry, feathered, or scaly family member and giving them the same level of care, compassion, and attention I would give my own. Because every pet deserves more than just a sitter—they deserve family. 🐾💕 My schedule revolves around pet care already. Caring for animals has been a major part of my daily life for many years through pet care/sitting/walking etc, animal rescue work, and caring for my own pets. While your pet is with me, this is their time and all of my focus and attention is on them for the duration of the booking. This allows me to provide frequent potty breaks, exercise, enrichment, playtime, companionship, medication administration when needed, and plenty of supervision throughout the day. I strive to keep pets on their normal routine as much as possible so they feel safe, comfortable, and at home while you’re away. Whether your pet needs extra attention, a flexible schedule, or specialized care, I’m happy to accommodate their individual needs. Every pet is unique, so I tailor my care to each animal’s individual personality, routine, and needs. Before every booking, I take the time to learn about feeding schedules, exercise requirements, medications, favorite activities, fears, quirks, and any special instructions. Owner guidance and instructions are key to providing the best possible booking and any information provided will be followed closely (and greatly appreciated!).  One thing that sets my care apart is that I do not use kennels or crates unless they are already part of your pet’s normal routine and you specifically request it. My goal is for pets to feel comfortable, secure, and at home—not confined unnecessarily. For families looking for a more personalized experience, I also offer accommodations such as Private Doggy Daycare, Private Kitty Daycare, Private Canine Camp, and Private Kitty Camp, where your pet can be the only guest in my care for the duration of their stay. I am always happy to discuss special requests and customize care whenever possible. Whether caring for a tiny breed, a giant breed, a working dog, a bully breed, a senior pet, or a rescue animal with unique needs, safety, comfort, and individualized attention always come first.

“Can always count on Helen! She always takes excellent care of our two boys! She is super reliable and always very communicative throughout the whole process! Thank you again we always appreciate you!”

I have experience with senior, special-needs, and anxious pets, so unusual routines, extra patience, or a little extra care don’t scare me!

Most importantly, they’ll get lots of love, attention, and of course plenty of photo updates!

I understand the importance of consistency, so I’ll take the time to learn all about your furry family member’s schedule and preferences to provide the best care possible.

About: Hi! I've been a house sitter for around 8 years for family friends as well as family members. There have been various sized animals that I got to take care of, and ranged from a few weeks old to senior ages. I also have 5 dogs at my family home along with one cat and one snake. Currently, I work as an office manager at a fine jewelry store and work 5 days a week. I am looking to help families on vacation or anyone local looking for services that I can provide on my free time. I do work around 8 hour shifts and would need to verify the animal will be okay with being along for that period of time. I currently am on a schedule with family members that we all contribute to feeding the animals. I will tend to walk the dogs around four times weekly and take my cat outside for some time in the mornings. When servicing friends and families animals/homes I tend to the cleaning, medication times for pets, water plants, and make sure things are tidy.

“Olivia did a great job taking care of my cats. She was able to drop in on short notice, which I appreciated. Everything went smoothly, she arrived as planned, fed them, spent some time, sent pics. My older grouchy cat even came out, which means Olivia has a good vi be. She left the place clean. I'm glad I found her and will definitely call on her again.”
