Cat Sitting Muir Beach

“Shannon was wonderful. The boys loved her. I was worried about leaving them for days, as I never had, but once we met Shannon, those fears evaporated. She came for a couple short visits prior to my trip. They took to her immediately, and while I was away she sent videos and pics multiple times per day. Really couldn't be happier!”

About: I started pet sitting by taking care of my friends’ cats and dogs whenever they travel. As a travel lover and a pet parent myself, I know how important it is to leave your pets with someone you can truly trust. I always want my own cats to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while I’m away, so I try to give my friends’ pets that same level of care and attention. I work mostly from home, which gives me a lot of flexibility to fit pet care into my daily routine. I can easily make time for drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and keeping pets company throughout the day. Since I’m usually working on a flexible schedule, I can adapt to each pet’s usual routine and needs. I always try to make pets feel safe and comfortable by following their usual routine as closely as possible. When caring for pets in their own home, I respect their space and make sure they have fresh food and water, a clean litter box or regular potty breaks, plenty of playtime, and lots of attention and company. I also understand that every pet has a different personality, so I’m happy to give them cuddles or simply give them space—whatever makes them feel most comfortable!

About: I grew up surrounded by all kinds of pets and have owned both cats and a dog as an adult, which was a Dalmatian—describe them as eternally young. :-) I'm an active individual whose current living situation doesn't allow pets so would love to help with yours! Those of you in the Larkspur/Greenbrae area may recognize me from walks on the local paths where I’m able to greet many dogs. While on vacation, I also seek out opportunities to contribute or volunteer for various animal causes, which you’ll see in some of my pictures. I'm retired so my schedule is generally flexible unless I'm out of town for personal reasons. Choosing a more limited radius at this point enables greater schedule flexibility, and to be close to local resources should a need arise. I will pet sit in your home so that your fur baby has all of their normal comforts and routines. I realize not all owners have a fenced yard for a dog so understand the importance of daily walks. I always welcome the opportunity to meet or chat about your needs in advance, so that you may advise of any behaviors for which I'll need to be more mindful. I care for fur babies of at least one year of age. NOTE: I only have experience providing meds to dogs, not cats. Due to allergies, I’m unable to sit in homes with cigarette smoke or with whole house carpeting (in bedrooms is fine). I'm a neat, tidy person who's very responsible--former homeowner.

“Thank you so much for taking great care of my cats! I really appreciate how quick you are to respond and how well you communicated while I was away. Made me feel good knowing they were in great hands.”

“Veronica did a great job of taking care of my cat while I was out of town. She kept up with wet food, meds, and cleaning litter box. I think my cat really enjoyed the time with her and wasn’t so lonely.”

Meredith M.

“Mia was great! Easy to communicate and I can see from the pictures that my kitty warmed up to her quickly. Would definitely use her in the future.”

About: I've cared for my family's dogs and cats since I was a teenager. I can handle dogs that pull and bark on the street, including big ones. I have experience walking up to three dogs at a time. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully and prioritize a safe, enjoyable walk for their dogs. I'm allergic to cats, but I can do a short visit for feeding and other necessary care. I’m currently a part-time student with a flexible schedule. I’m happy to coordinate walks and drop-in visits around your pet’s routine and needs. I follow your instructions closely and respect your home. Before walks, I check that your dog’s leash and harness are secure and keep them leashed throughout the walk. During visits, I keep doors and gates closed, refresh water as instructed, and provide calm, attentive care for your pet. I’ll send photo updates and contact you promptly if I notice any concerns.

“Charles did a great job, this was my first time leaving my cat alone for 3 days. Charles checked on each day a sent me pics and drop in notes. I am so glad I chose Charles to care for my Farrah. I will definitely book Charles again.”

About: Family dogs have included black labs, Rotts, terriers and Cane Corso. I have puppy sat for family and friends for more than 20 years. I have experience with cats and other animals as well. I am in a large one-bedroom apartment in Outer Richmond. I am very active, and enjoy spending most of my time outdoors. Access to the beach is close during the warmer months. Thank you for the consideration! I work remote during the week freeing up much of the day. Weekends are usually low-key, with lots of time spent in the parks and beaches. I am in a one bedroom on the second floor with an elevator. My home is safe from harmful chemicals and fragrances. I am patient and loving, and I always want to cuddle. I have a small dog who is very friendly and loves other pets.

About: I have volunteered at Humane Societies with all kinds of pets because animals are my passion, and have had pets for almost 30 years. I currently have had a wonderful cat named Latte for 6 years and I couldn't live without her. I am available during the day to walk your dog or take it to play at a dog park, or check in on your cat and give it plenty of love, food, and attention. I make sure the pets I look after are cared for like my own, and their safety, comfort, and security are a top concern of mine.

About: I've been around animals my whole life and wouldn't have it any other way. I grew up with three Whippets, a Toy Poodle, and two cats, caring for them from puppyhood right through their senior years. I've also competed in dog shows and won Champion of Baltic States several times. I'm experienced with sighthounds (Whippets, Greyhounds, Italian Greyhounds), Toy Poodles, and all size dogs. I've handled breeding dogs, newborn puppies, pregnant moms, and specialized diets. I'm comfortable training dogs in obedience, potty training, loose-leash walking, and recall. The two cats I had lived to 17 and 18! I'm comfortable with all their needs. I've also ridden and trained horses since I was 10. I am a pet sitter who genuinely loves animals, knows their quirks and needs, and treats your pets like they're my own. Whether it's a senior dog needing extra care, a puppy needing attention, or a cat who prefers routine, I've got you covered. I’m currently in between jobs, having just moved back to the Bay Area from Paris. That means I can take care of your pets almost any time and be very flexible with last minute bookings. I am very attentive to follow the exact instructions that clients have regarding their pets and homes. Having years and years of experience with all types of animals, I have developed a good common sense about their needs and moods.

“Etna was so sweet! We did a meet and greet before and I showed her everything to do. She was very responsive to my messages and sent pics and videos. She kept the house clean also!”

“Paula did a wonderful job looking after our cat while we were away. She sent timely messages and pictures, played with our normally shy cat, and even made sure all was well in our home while we were away. We will certainly contact her again for our next trip.”

“Kaelee was amazing! She took excellent care of my boy while I was away. I feel so good knowing he was getting such great care. I will definitely have her back again.”
