Cat Sitting in North Columbia

“Brie did a terrific job. Our cat was well looked after. We had an issue with our alarms, but she notified us immediately. This was our first time using Rover. I was impressed with the app and getting the notifications and updates. Would recommend Brie and Rover.”

“Carly was an excellent communicator. She took lots of photos of the pets and wrote up a detailed account of her visit. She asked good questions at our meet and greet which gave me confidence in that she knows what she is doing.”

About: People often say I have a way with animals. They always seem drawn to me immediately, even when they are wary of others. I feel honored that animals feel this way about me because I feel the same about them! I have cared for many dogs of all sizes as well as owned cats. I have volunteered at a dog rescue in Thailand that has many disabled dogs as well as fostered cats/kittens here at home. I am an empty nester and would love to care for your four legged family members while you are away. Although I will never replace you, I can provide love and safety until you return (and probably some treats and adventures too!) I'm currently not working and can dedicate my time to pet/house sitting and care. As you can see from my photo gallery, I love all animals and have volunteered at a dog rescue in Thailand, fostered kittens at home, and have seen very cool animals in the wild and at animal rescues/sanctuaries around the world. (I always vet them to make sure they are ethical and doing legit work) I have a large fenced yard and indoor space for cats or dogs. We have plenty of shade and are also willing to take pets with us on outings. I live with my husband and son and they also love and respect animals. As far as caring for pets at someone else's home, I can stay at your house or check in as often as needed. I will play with them, feed them, bathe them, take them places (if requested) and give them love. I know they miss their people and its not the same without you, but I do my best to make them feel safe and comfortable.

“Majesty was extremely responsive and a great resource for an admittedly last minute request for a pop in to let our dogs out while we were at a Christmas party. I felt that our house instructions were read and acknowledged thoroughly, and majesty was communicative and reliable about showing up on time. We’ll definitely hire majesty again.”

“Cynthia took good care of my kitten who alternates between needing play and lap naps. She’s very easy to coordinate with and was flexible in my changing schedule. I have no worry about the pets when I know she’s taking care of them. Thanks Cynthia!”

“Molly has been a great resource for when I don't want to leave my puppy in her crate for the whole day. Will continue to use her when needed!!”

About: I love animals! I have been around them forever, and in school studying to become a Veterinary Technician :) I am always open for play dates! I work Monday-Friday at Sammie’s Friends, but am available after 5pm for short dog/cat sitting. I am available weekends so any trips you want to take I’ve got you and your furry companion covered. I am very attentive and will make sure your pet is cared for and safe. Whether they are high energy and need more play time, or animals who just need some extra TLC.

“Amy was wonderful! She kept me updated on the timing of her visits, sent reports and photos, and was a good pal to my cat Teri. I will definitely use her again when I travel!”

About: I’ve had pets my whole life so learned how to care for them early on. In addition I’ve taken care of tons of other pets for people, ie dogs, cats, lizards, chickens, sheep, pigs, cows. I currently have 8 dogs of my own of various breeds and sizes so I’m not intimidated by much. I’m very patient and love being able to help train young pets and care for senior pets. I have just finished school and am looking for a job in my field, but as of now have a very open schedule. I’m also very flexible with last minute jobs. I make sure to follow all rules set by pet owners and respect their wishes/boundaries. Making sure their pet is given what they need, get all the love and attention I can give during my visit, and taking care of any accidents or other things needing to be taken care of for them.

“Sasha dropped in on my dog Willow a few times this week and I could not have asked for a better person to take care of her. Willow is very nervous around strangers, generally very distrustful and defensive, but she seemed to connect with Sasha from the start at the meet and greet. Sasha was so sweet and understanding with her, never pushing Willow to interact more than she wanted to. When she dropped in, Sasha took Willow outside and played with her (sent me the most adorable video!!), refilled her water, gave her some treats, and cuddled with her on the couch. Before she left on the last day she even cleaned up some of Willow's toys, which I am always terrible about doing. It was such a sweet gesture when I myself was already nervous about someone coming over, it put me right at ease. ? Sasha was very communicative and went above and beyond dropping in on Willow and I couldn't be more grateful. I will definitely contact her again for future drop ins when I need them!”

“Barbara took wonderful care of our cat. She was communicative, timely, and responsible. We have hesitated for years to go on vacation because we never felt confident about having anyone come to our home, but now that we’ve found Barbara, we are already booking our next vacation. Barbara is warm and friendly and clearly loves animals. She stayed in touch with us and provided updates and photos. We’re overjoyed to have found a trustworthy person to care for our cat. Highly recommended!”

“Natalie took great care of Cleo. I'll have her sit again.”

About: One way to live a happy life is to surround yourself with things you love, for me that includes animals. I think they sense that about me and it puts them at ease. I have many years of experience with large and small animals including horses, donkeys. goats, dogs and cats. From babies to old-timers I look forward to meeting new animals and including them in my friend group :) I live on a farm so animals are a big part of my day, if I need to go take care of an animal somewhere, I work it into my schedule. Our cats are indoor/outdoor and our dogs are allowed in the house but not on the furniture. When going to a pet's home I use caution when entering or leaving the home and will follow pet-owners protocol for feeding. I will be a friend for the animal while I am there.

“I thought I spoiled my fur babies rotten but Mel out did me. She kept me informed how the kids were doing. I got daily updates including pictures and short videos. This was such a relief as I have had issues with pet sitters in the past. When we returned from our trip, the kids were relaxed and happy. I do believe they were looking for Mel. She is truly the cat whisperer.”

About: Ever since I learned to talk, I asked my parents for a dog. Over the years that turned into one, two, and now three dogs. I have also had cats over the years as well as chickens, goats, a horse, and donkey. No matter what kind of animal, I have always had a deep connection and love for the furry four-legged beings in my life. Because of this, neighbors, friends, and acquaintances have depended on me to pet sit, train, walk, feed, and groom their pets. I can easily play with your pet wherever you and your pet feel most comfortable whether that is in the home, yard, or out on walks. I consider myself a responsible and trustworthy person and will always prioritize the needs of you and your pet. I also love sending picture updates of the pets when I’m with them because a) they are so cute and b) you can feel confident they are in good hands.

About: Hello! In the past I have owned a small dog and walked and played with him multiple times a day. He recently passed, which is why I would love to take care of other pets. I love all dogs and have experience walking and taking care of large dogs. I live in a house with a spacious yard on the ridge, on a dirt road with lots of nature around. I enjoy taking them out on walks, and we would spend ample time outside. I also have experience sitting dogs in my own home, as well as in other people's homes for an extended period of time. I can't wait to hear from you! Kendall I have a highly flexible schedule working remotely, so it is very easy for me to fit pet care into my schedule (like walks, etc.) In client's home, I like to spend a lot of time with the animal and can easily attune to where they're at whether they're a bit more nervous at first or very friendly.

About: I have owned and cared for pets my entire life. I'm recently retired from a long career as a professional equestrian and horse trainer, and I'm excited to begin this journey of offering pet care services to the community! I have experience with all types and ages of pets ... from very young to very senior. I have experience administering medications, giving injections, and basic first aid. My lifestyle is active, and I'm happy to provide whatever exercise that your pet needs, whether that is a long trail hike, or simply walks around the neighborhood. And lots of love and snuggles of course :) I also have extensive horse experience, and limited experience with other livestock, and I'm happy to provide services for those animals as well. I currently work from home and have an extremely flexible schedule, which allows me to work around whatever your pet care needs are. I have a reliable 4 wheel drive vehicle, so I can get to some of the further out Nevada County destinations no problem. I pride myself on being punctual, organized and reliable, and you can rest assured that your pet(s) and home will receive attentive and loving care. I am happy to take care of any additional tasks that you might need around your home while you're away (checking mail, taking out trash, watering plants/garden, etc. )

About: I grew up with dogs, cats, and all sorts of animals in our house. We would often foster animals growing up, and had two dogs in my childhood. My partner and I committed to a new doggo for us in August 2020 - a cuddly, loving Cavapoo named Bebe. I love being outside with her, and we frequently run together, play fetch together, and stretch together. I have also loved teaching and training her since her puppyhood. Potty training, sit, come, fetch, dance, down, roll over, walk, run, stay, big jump, up, down, and more. We have her crate trained and think that the mental stimulation in this regard is very important. I'm actually playing fetch with her right now! I am an Assistant Director at a summer camp and work 30 hours a week from home in the non-summer season. I generally take the dogs out in the morning for about an hour of fetch and stretching and morning poop, then do some training with them in my lunch break, and then go for a run or walk in the evening after I am done before dinner. I am neat, tidy, and responsible. I am an eagle scout, and was always taught to leave a place cleaner than I found it. :) If I am staying at a home, I will bring my laptop and work from there, and keep my routine similar to the schedule outlined above.

About: I’ve taken care of all different kind of dogs and cats, I grew up around animals and I am truly an animal lover at heart. Friends and family have hired me to watch, walk, feed, bathe and care for their pets. I’m trustworthy, responsible and truly just want to make the time with your pet special. I’m currently working part time in the Palo Alto area and living in the San Jose area, my schedule is flexible and can be worked around your dog needs. Each experience is unique and catered to a specific dogs needs. Spacious living arrangements with room to cuddle, play and live. As well as space outside to run, play and walk. Each pet will be treated with what they need, extra walking? No problem! Extra belly runs? No problem! Bathing? No problem! Special feeding needs? No problem! I aim to make every pet and pet parents experience one of a kind.
