Cat Sitting Orchard

“I couldn't have asked for a better person to take care of my cat Scrub while I was away this past weekend. As soon as I met. Krista, I felt that we had found someone who would care for Scrub just as I would and with the need for her new medications it was really comforting to realize that there would be someone there to take care of Scrub with the same care that I would. I would recommend Krista to anyone without hesitation and look forward to working with her again. Thank you so much! Krista, you really made my weekend much less stressful and I thank you for that. Peace Jeff and Scrub”

“Took care of my wild, 10 month old boy Nightfall! Took many photos, and was very patient with a lot of directions regarding my living situation and roommates. 10/10 recommend for pets/cats alike!”

About: I’ve been in the horse training and care industry for roughly 20 years and have learned an immense amount about animal care over that time. I have worked with all different species, breeds, sizes, and temperaments and I am willing to take on any challenge. My schedule is currently part time and scattered so I have a lot of availability and flexibility to care for any and all animals. I also have nearly fully availability on the weekends. I will not be offering services in my home but will be available to travel to your home and I will respect your house rules.

About: I have had pets most of my life since I was a small child. I have a deep bond with animals and love getting to know their individual personalities and having a great time playing together. I am currently working part time on my own schedule so I have a great deal flexibility to come play with your pets and provide them with my undivided attention! I provide care specifically based on each individual client’s requests and unique needs. Please let me know your preferences, needs and concerns. Thank you!

“Brenda is great!”

About: I have a long history caring for various animals, from farm to domestic. I've been caring for dogs ever since I was 16, all my dogs are rescues and have needed all kinds of special care and love! I'm familiar with reactivity and larger dogs, or smaller breeds and puppies. a little extra attention and time goes a long way. I'm happy to go on hikes and walks or stay in and cuddle. Feel free to ask me any questions and happy to provide my experience! Im a part time college student in kentfeild and I work at a café part time. Im looking for roles I can pick up on my off time. Weekends are easy bookings and I'm happy to talk about moving my schedule around for weekdays. Mornings and evenings are my typical availability during the week. If you have special scheduling requests please contact me a week out so we can find something that works! I'm not opposed to last minute bookings, no harm in asking! I always like to be clear about what a pet needs and what their boundaries are. Im unfamiliar with giving medicine through needles, and I don't have professional training for training dogs/reactivity. What I do have is experience with my pets, my friends pets, and a lot of compassion and patience. If your dog needs medicine, is reactive, or has certain triggers, please be up front with this information so I can provide the best service! In my house, my pets have a schedule for food and activity so they have a basic structure. Feel free to share about their personality, quirks, or any sensitivities. Communication is key!

About: I have experience in a doggy daycare and cat kennel environment. I’ve walked, fed, and given basic meds to multiple animals at once and know to take great care at all times. Dog walking, grooming,and play time while maintaining their manners is a priority for me. I managed up to 50 dogs at a time in a cageless doggy daycare. It’s not all cuddles and hugs, but rest assured I’ve handled the good the bad and the ugly. I’m available from 5am-7am then after 6pm on weekdays. I am Free on Sundays all day, and 1-5 on Wednesdays. Currently I am a student and also full-time parent. If any of these hours suit your needs please do reach out! I’d love a new walking buddy or two. I’d love to walk or hike with your dog/s or come over for play time! I will be using your gear for walks. I can provide some maintenance, brushing, pet litter cleaning, feeding/meds, and even bottle feeding if needed! Open to discussions and I own a car our friend can ride in if needed.

About: I work at an emergency animal hospital and have a ton of experience with animals. I love cuddling and being around pets ❤️ I’m going to school for an animal related career and work with animals. Would love to spend time with your pets I spend most my days around pets as I work at an animal hospital. Always trying to expand my knowledge and make more friends in the process Making sure a pet feels comfortable is key so watching their mannerisms is very important to me. Being slow and patient goes a long ways but love to play

“Kyline was fantastic for our house and kitty. Super upfront about work schedule. She sent us numerous photos and updates with and without prompting. Left the house clean, and took care of everything we asked. Highly recommend.”

“Sally did a great job . She showed up consistently and even watered my plants . She got my two couch potatoes to play a bit too. She communicated well and sent pictures daily . My kitties are rescue kitties and can be shy but she treated them with warmth.”

About: Hello, I’m Tiffany and am a Sonoma county lover working in the wine industry! I have a few years of dog walking/sitting experience, but I have been focused on my wine industry career for the last few years. However, I have years of experience working for Wag! for dogs of different breeds and sizes. I’ve also had the pleasure of taking care of my friends dogs and other pets when they are away. They all have ranges of personalities and I’ve truly enjoyed getting to work with them all. As I love the energy that a younger dog might exude, I also love the calmness an older dog might have. I used to have a Sheltie who was the sweetest and silliest boy. He passed away in 2019 at 14 years of age, but I’ve been with him since he was a puppy and he’s the reason for my huge love for dogs. I am a very outdoorsy person and I love sports, staying active and healthy. I am flexible on accommodating anything you might require for your pet, whether it’s just a persons presence or longer walks or runs with your dog! I can’t wait to meet your furry pets and give your animals the love and affection that they crave :) I just finished my spring semester of college so I will have more time this summer to take care of your pups. I especially have time over the weekends! I have a fenced yard which will be perfect to have your dog run around and I can take your dog out as often as needed. If they have a specific routine I will be sure to stick to it!

“Oliver was so attentive with my cat. He was promptly communicating whenever necessary and sent me lots of photos. I felt great knowing that Tigger was well taken care of. I highly reccomend!”

About: Dogs have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them is something that genuinely brings me so much joy. I treat every dog like family, making sure they feel safe, loved, comfortable, and spoiled with plenty of attention, playtime, cuddles, and care. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I’ll give them the same love and patience I would give my own. I’d love the opportunity to become your dog’s favorite sitter and give you peace of mind while you’re away! 🐾❤️ I currently work a full-time job from 7:30 AM to 4 PM, but most of my evenings are free and weekends perfect if you need a sitter for a weekend getaways or a night out! I live on a 2 acre property and my roommate has a very friendly border collie that gets along with almost anything, I usually watch her if my roommate is out of town!

“Everything went perfectly, they were great at communicating and our dog was happy when we returned! They worked so well with us for a last minute booking and we were grateful! Thanks again!”

About: I grew up with two dogs and currently have a cat, so I have years of hands on experience caring for both dogs and cats. My dogs are still an important part of my life, and caring for them has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and understanding each pet's unique personality and needs. I am comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, cleaning up after pets, and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I treat every pet as if they were my own and will provide plenty of attention, care, and companionship while you're away. 🐾 I'm a college student with a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care throughout the week. I can accommodate feeding schedules, playtime, litter box cleaning, walks, and check ins while making sure pets receive the care and companionship they need. Since I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, pet care fits naturally into my daily routine and I make it a priority to provide reliable, attentive care for every pet. 🐾 For drop in visits, I care for pets in the comfort of their own home where they feel safest and most relaxed. I follow each pet's routine by providing fresh food and water, cleaning litter boxes or taking dogs out for potty breaks, playtime, exercise, and plenty of attention. I always respect your home's rules and make sure doors, gates, and windows are secure before leaving. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a calmer approach, I adapt to their needs to ensure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you're away. 🐾🐶🐱

“Mia sent us pictures of our kitties throughout her stay. She was an attentive and kind pet sitter while we were away. We will definitely book again!”

About: Hi there! My name is Abby, and I’m a lifelong animal owner & lover- excited to care for your furry friends. I have a special connection with animals, which started early in life and continues with my beloved cat, Winston, who keeps my days full of joy. In addition to my love for animals, I have hands-on experience with grooming and bathing pets. I know how important it is for animals to feel clean and comfortable, and I’m confident in handling even the most hesitant pets with patience and care. As a dedicated and reliable pet caretaker, I understand that every pet is unique. Whether it’s playtime, walks, grooming, or cuddles, I adapt to their specific needs to ensure they’re happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I also pay close attention to details like feeding schedules, medications, and routines to give you peace of mind while you’re away. Your pets will be in safe, loving hands with me, and I’ll treat them like they’re my own. I can’t wait to meet your furry family members! Even with a full-time 9-to-5 job, I make it a priority to provide attentive and flexible care for your pets. I can stop by in the mornings before work for feeding, walks, or check-ins to ensure your pet starts their day off right. During my lunch break, I can swing by to give them some extra attention, a potty break, or a quick cuddle session. In the evenings, I’ll spend quality time with them to make sure they’re happy, relaxed, and ready for a restful night. Your pet’s comfort and care are my top priorities, and I’ll always communicate updates to keep you in the loop. Let me know how I can work around your pet’s needs! When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, I adhere to rules set by owners while at their homes and am respectful of their house and animal(s). I prioritize understanding their pets unique needs and routines to provide personalized, loving care. Here’s what I offer: • Walks: I’ll ensure your dog gets the right amount of exercise based on their energy level, whether it’s a brisk walk or a leisurely stroll to sniff around. • Grooming: Light grooming like brushing, wiping paws, or cleaning up after them to keep them feeling fresh and comfortable. I can also provide full baths to keep your pet looking and feeling clean. • Drop-ins: Flexible visits tailored to your pet’s schedule, including feeding, water refills, litter box cleaning, or potty breaks. • Cuddles and Comfort: I adjust my approach based on your pet’s personality—whether they’re independent or love being showered with attention. • Playtime: Engaging activities to keep your pet mentally and physically stimulated.

About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats my entire life, and I also grew up raising chickens and quail. I have 1 dog/cat loving dog named Rupert and 1 cat named Panda. I’m a registered nurse during the week, so I’m very comfortable administering medications and injections. I’ve previously house-sat for a diabetic dog and have experience providing attentive care for senior dogs and cats with medical needs. I have a special place in my heart for rescue animals and have dedicated a lot of time to training my own dog, Rupert. I’m committed to providing compassionate, reliable, and high-quality care—and I look forward to treating your pets like part of my own family. I work full-time as an RN, with three 12-hour shifts each week, which gives me two weekdays off and every weekend free. I spend a lot of my time walking my dog, Rupert, and if your pup is friendly, I’d love to include them for walks and positive socialization. If your dog prefers their own space, that’s absolutely fine too. I’m just as committed to providing calm, one-on-one attention and have plenty of experience caring for dogs who aren’t especially social. I have a fully fenced yard and a friendly, dog- and cat-social dog at home. My cat is comfortable around dogs, though he can be a bit selective with new cats. Pets are welcome on the furniture and even the bed—this is a home-away-from-home environment. If your pup prefers their own space, that’s no problem at all. I have multiple dog beds throughout the house and plenty of room for a crate if that’s what they’re used to. I’ve dedicated a lot of time to training my current dog, Rupert, and I’ve only ever owned rescue animals, so I understand the patience, structure, and consistency they need to feel safe and thrive. For walks, I always come prepared with freeze-dried treats to reinforce positive behavior and make the experience fun and rewarding.

About: When I adopted my first dog he was incredibly nervous around people he is now very friendly and loves scenting challenges. I’ve used my skills to help others improve their relationship with their animals and created a trusting relationship to care for pets when their families are out of town. I have a flexible schedule that can be adjusted to meet your needs. I do prefer to include some time for an animal introduction for all new families. I have a strong history of animal care that meet the needs of my clients. Every pet is different and I am able to adapt and accommodate to different attitudes, schedules for feeding, medical care, walking and entertaining. I work to make sure pets are comfortable and clients return to the same feeling as if they just got home from work.

“Emily took such great care of my 2 cats! One of my cats is a bit shy and takes time to warm up to strangers, but immediately was playing and cuddling with Emily. It made me feel so at peace knowing my babies were so safe and well taken care of while I was gone :)”
