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.”

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for cats of all personalities—from playful kittens to shy, reserved cats. I’ve boarded cats in my home, done drop-in visits for multi-cat households, and always make sure pet parents feel connected while they’re away. I send regular updates with photos and videos so you’ll never have to wonder how your pets are doing—you’ll see they’re happy, safe, and well cared for. In addition to cats, I also have experience with dogs and even tortoises, so I’m comfortable caring for a wide range of pets. Whether it’s playtime, feeding, or just keeping your pet company, I’m here to give them the attention and love they deserve. Since I work part-time evenings, I have plenty of daytime flexibility for pet care. I enjoy making cat care part of my regular weekly routine. I create a safe, calm environment by keeping areas clean, securing doors and windows, and sticking to the pet’s usual routine so they feel comfortable and cared for.

About: I treat every pet I care for like my own, because to me, pets are a true gift, full of intelligence and personality. I believe in using compassion and patience with every pet, taking the time to understand their breed and temperament so I can provide the best care possible. As an active person who loves hikes and walks, I enjoy getting pets outdoors and giving them plenty of exercise. I also personally bathe and groom my own dog and have experience caring for sick dogs, including post-surgery care, administering medication, and monitoring for any signs of concern. I've been a dog lover since I was a kid and have about 8 years of experience with owning and caring for dogs. I’m familiar with caring for and training puppies, including potty and crate training. Every pet deserves thoughtful, dedicated care, and that’s what I offer! I work remotely and have the flexibility to fit pet care into my daily and weekly routine with ease.

I'm able to accommodate your needs. My schedule is adaptable, so I can ensure your pet gets the attention, exercise, and care they need when you're not around. When caring for pets in my home, I offer a safe, comfortable environment with a spacious, fenced yard for plenty of outdoor play and exercise. My quiet neighborhood, with low traffic, ensures a calm and peaceful atmosphere for pets to feel at ease. Plus, I’m within walking distance of three parks, including Lake Chabot Regional Park. For pet care in your home, I make sure to follow your pet’s usual routine and provide them with everything they need whether it’s feeding, potty breaks, or just some quality playtime. I always strive to make your pet feel comfortable and loved while you’re away, whether in my home or theirs.

Their safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. For group hikes, I ensure a structured, supervised, and safe pack environment where dogs can socialize and explore while following proper leash and trail etiquette. I carefully assess each dog’s temperament and energy level to create well-matched groups, ensuring a positive and stress-free experience.

About: Growing up with dogs has instilled in me a deep love and understanding of their needs. For the past four years, I've had the pleasure of helping friends, family, and neighbors care for their furry companions. I’m excited to extend my services and meet more wonderful dogs. With my experience and passion for pet care, I am committed to providing a safe, fun, and loving environment for your pets. I work three days a week on night shifts, while my wife works during the day. This means there is always someone at home to provide constant care and attention to your pups. Our unique schedule allows me to have plenty of time to take the dogs out for walks, playtime, and give them the affection they deserve. I have a spacious backyard with plenty of grass for your dogs to run and play, as well as a shaded concrete area for them to relax and stay cool. My home is exceptionally pet-friendly, designed to ensure your pup feels comfortable and secure. Inside, they can enjoy the climate-controlled environment, whether they need air conditioning in the summer or heating in the winter. Your pup is welcome to lounge on the furniture, explore the cozy spaces, and make themselves at home. I strive to provide a nurturing and fun environment where your furry friend can feel like part of the family while you're away.

About: I have my own dogs and treat them like they’re my children. I go out on walks pretty often and workout outside with my dogs just to stick with them. I can work anytime and any day except Friday and Saturday nights due to my part time job but any other day during the week is great! I play with them a lot, give treats but not too much, I watch tv with my dog and they seem to enjoy it as much as me!

“Xander has been doing drop in visits each day while I’m at work to be with my Labrador and give him some company and a potty/snack break. It’s been a great relief having Xander’s support! I know my pup is in good hands!”

“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.”

“Everything was great with Maria taking care of our cat. He needs heart medication administered twice a day (in a pill pocket), so we needed someone reliable. Cats aren't always easy to watch because they are wary of new people, but Maria powered through and made sure Loki was cared for...even when he insisted on hiding under the bed! Thanks, Maria!”
