Cat Sitting in Occidental

“Amanda did a phenomenal job taking care of our fur baby. She always quickly replied and made us feel very comfortable. She went out of her way to meet and greet our girl and was so sweet. We totally will book her in the future also. A gem of a person! 🥲🫶”

“Melissa is wonderful! 2 of our 3 dogs have different reactivity issues, and have had some of their “stranger danger” get worse between the pandemic and moving to Sonoma County. It’s a big relief to see our dogs resocializing and looking forward to interacting with new people”

“I have trusted Marti with my dog for over 5 years. When I travel, I know that my pup is in good hands, and my routine I have with my dog will continue to be respected. When I come back, my dog is not exhausted like he was when I used to board him. This shows that he was well taken care of, and not stressed. My pup also eats at Marti’s, when he didn’t eat at his boarding kennel. I have nothing but good things to say about Marti as a sitter.”

“Emily was great. Our dog seemed happy and looked very pleased on the photos she sent. Will definitely use Emily again.”

About: I’ve had a pack my whole life. We are currently only home to one pup and we thought we might do some Doggie day care to fill the hole left in our hearts when our Zoey and Nora crossed the rainbow bridge. We recently returned to our home in Occidental after 18 months in Vermont. Since I’m in between jobs, and we have all this space, I though we would do a little doggie day care. I have a fenced acre yard and multiple kennels for pups who like the security of a crate. We also do some crate training and basic command training.

“Alison checked in on our dog Archie while we were gone for a few hours. She was prompt, sent a photo and remembered to put Archie in his crate when she left (per instructions). Archie can be very enthusiastic with new people and she wasn't phased at all. She also came for a pre-meet even though it was a bit of a drive for her.”

“Lauren is honestly the best! I went out of town and she came by once a day to care for my cat Pepper for nine days! She went above and beyond taking pictures with her and playing with her and taking videos and sending them to me and giving me my daily check-ins, in addition to just the normal feeding and changing her litter box. Pepper loved her time with Lauren and I honestly think Pepper has been missing her since she is gone because she played with her so much. She is so mellow, so sweet, so friendly, so reliable and responsible, and I knew pepper was in the best of hands when I was a 6 hour plane ride away! I absolutely recommend her and will be using her again in the future for sure!”

“Casey was great with our cat, making daily house visits to play & provide care while we were away. Would definitely have her back in the future.”

“Angelina was prompt with her responses, understood our situation, and communicated clearly about our pet's requirements. Looking forward to many more sits with her!”

“Sarah took absolutely fantastic care of our kitties! Great communication and photos was really appreciated. Thank you!”

“Hi my name is Gail. I have dog named Louie. I went away on vacation to Ireland in may. I had to find a dependable person to be able to care for my dog while I was away over two weeks...I asked Kaile. To pet sit for me. She was the best trustworthy , very dependable and her gift with animals is very clear. ...I would highly recommend her ....I also have a Parrot she took care during that time. If he likes her she truly is an animal whisper. He didn't like anyone but me....”

“I've known Eliza for many years, and would absolutely trust her with my pets and my home. Since I've known her, she's had dogs, cats, goats, sheep, and they have all been happy critters. Dogs have a special place in her heart, and I know she will take very good care of yours. I have no reservations about recommending Eliza to take care of your pet.”

About: I currently have a cat named Kazuki I take care of. I also dog sit for two other family friends for two dogs, as well as a dog and cat! I am currently in school part time, so I have plenty of time to take care and play with your pet! The only days I will not be available are Tuesday and Thursday’s. The rest of the days I am here to help care and play with your pet when you are unavailable so they can get the love they can get while you’re away! When I am at a client’s home I make sure fencing is secured if needed. My home has a fence as well. I also make sure they have enough place to play whether it could be inside or out. I prefer to be outside with them! I love being active with animals but if you’re pet is somewhat a couch potato OR old, I can comfort them in whatever way they feel comfortable.

“Lily C. has taken care of our pets when we were out of town on several occasions. We have 3 dogs, a bird and 1 cat, plus a 75 gallon fish tank with 20 fish. We always felt comfortable with the care of our pets when in Lily’s care. We always came back to happy healthy animals with a freshly cleaned cat box. We have had several people watch our animals over the years, but lily is one our favorite caregivers. If she is ever to move back to Vermont, we would love to have her care for our pets when needed. Sincerely Kristi”

“Tari is a loving and conscientious petsitter. She's taken care of a number of my 'extended family' over many years and I can't say enough about how wonderful and safe I feel leaving my pet(s) in her care. I know they will be taken care of and watched over as if your pet was her own.”

“Toni was so kind to help out our distressed Kyburz who got locked out when his door battery died. Thanks again, Toni! Our cat is happy again ❤️🐾”

“Avery is a responsible young adult who had dogs, cats and other pets growing up. She has had experience taking care of other people’s pets plus She also has a lot of babysitting experience. I would trust her with my pets.”

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was in my teens. I was an assistant to an equine vet and have trained horses my entire life. I love dogs and cats and am good at reading their body language. I’m trustworthy and dependable. I work from home and have a flexible schedule that allows me to do extra work. I’m a single mom and am looking for extra income doing what I enjoy. I am extremely vigilant about doors and gates being shut completely. I respect the owners wishes. I treat homes of others as I would my own home.

“Aspen and her daughter took great care of my Kitty Cat. Highly recommended.”

About: I have cared for dogs since I was ten years old and I got my first puppy. After my college graduation I wanted another dog so bad but because of my travel for work I was always the one to just visit and baby sit my parents dogs for about the past 7 years. However, I'm changing careers now to be home more and have my very own puppy and luckily the chance to look after some other cute dogs as well! I live on a 7 acre property and have experience taking care of goats and chickens as well! I'm currently going back to school, mostly online so I have lots of time to drive to and play with your dog. On some days I do have to be at the SRJC in person but never for more than 4 hours at a time. I am an outdoorsy person and I love to go on long walks. I also have a SUV so if a walk in a park further away is desired I can easily transport them. I have a high energy puppy of my own that loves to play with other dogs big and small so he is always available to keep your dog company if they enjoy playing with others.
