Cat Sitting Oakland

“Allison was a great sitter and friend for Smitty for the three weeks we were out of town. There were many visits involved over this time period and Allison did a good job communicating with us about Smitty's various walks and play-times, what kind of mood he was in, whether he drank some water after play-time, and other info. She really cares about Smitty and enjoys the work. We highly recommend Allison!”

“Sarah was a fantastic pet sitter for our cat! She communicated well and sent pictures and a message every day we were gone on vacation. She was very responsive to text messages. Our shy cat even came out of hiding most days she came over to take care of her. I highly recommend booking Sarah for your pet care.”

About: What sets me apart is that caring for dogs and cats has always been a part of my life—not just a job. I’ve grown up around pets and truly see them as family members, so I understand how important it is that they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending quality time with animals. I also have hands-on experience from working at a dog kennel during high school, where I learned the importance of routine, cleanliness, and recognizing different pet personalities and needs. Whether it’s a playful puppy, a shy cat, or a senior pet who needs extra care and gentleness, I’m committed to making every pet’s time with me happy and stress-free. Pet care fits very well into my daily and weekly routine. I’ve had experience working at a doggie daycares and kennels. I mostly work in the afternoon. My schedule can be flexible but for the most part I have work from 5pm-11pm. I enjoy structuring my days around feeding times, walks, play, and companionship so pets receive consistent attention. Ideally, I’m looking to do pet care part-time, which means I can be reliable, present, and attentive when pets need me rather than rushing through visits. I care for pets by closely following the owner’s instructions and routines to ensure consistency and comfort. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I make sure pets receive plenty of love, patience, and compassionate attention. I focus on meeting each pet’s individual needs—feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication if needed, and quiet time—while making them feel safe and cared for. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always aim to create a calm, positive environment.

“Aracely is the ultimate cat whisperer! This was our third time having her look after our home, and even for just a short visit, she continues to impress. Leaving a big pet family behind can be stressful, but knowing our six cats are in such great hands gives us total peace of mind. ​Aracely handles everyone’s individual quirks and needs like an absolute pro, ensuring they are not only well-fed but genuinely comfortable and content for the rest of the day. Every time we get back, everything is perfect and it’s clear our crew is happy and at ease. Huge shoutout to Aracely for taking such amazing care of them—we’ll definitely be booking her again!”

About: I have been a pet owner (cats, dogs, birds, rodents) for more than 25 years. I have done some pet sitting on and off for friends and family for years. I also foster dogs for a local rescue and have experience leash training puppies. I am always caring for my two cats and dog with playtime and long walks. I do work full-time, but I have evening and weekend availability. I have a huge fenced-in backyard with plenty of room to run and play fetch. I have a medium-sized dog who loves to go for walks and run in the yard. He’s very chill.

“Miranda gave us the peace of mind we’ve been looking for for our two beautiful cats. We have been doing of family vacation for six years and this is the first year I have been able to be worry free. Miranda sent messages and pictures of each visit, in my opinion, she took care of our cats like they were her own. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the time and care you gave our boys , we will definitely use Miranda again if she’s available ♥️”

“Brandi was extremely helpful last minute despite it being the busy holiday season. She is great with communication and giving extreme affection to your loved ones. I have no doubt you will be worried one bit with her in charge!”

“I was so nervous to leave Faith with a stranger, but Ella was wonderful with her!! She came over for a meet and greet the day before. She was extremely patient and low-key, which is just what Faith needs. I was thrilled to receive video and picture updates throughout the day. I would definitely recommend Ella as a sitter for anyone looking in the Shelbyville area :)”

About: I have always had dogs, raising them from puppies. I have had old dogs, sick dogs, active dogs, pure breeds, and mixed breeds. They always become part of the family. I work from home and am usually only away for a couple of hours at a time. If I know ahead of time that a specific pet needs more attention, I can schedule accordingly. I have a fenced yard with a doggie door. I keep the doggie door shut unless an owner asks for me to use it. I do not have any children or pets of my own in my home at this time. I live in a quiet neighborhood. A very calm environment.

“Pamela did an excellent job looking after my cats while I was gone! I loved the many pictures she took and her thorough updates. I wouldn't hesitate to book with her again!”
