Cat Sitting in Orinda

“Vlad is hands down the best dog walker we’ve ever worked with! His communication is top-tier; he is incredibly responsive and always keeps me updated, which gives me total peace of mind throughout the day. More importantly, he is completely responsible and reliable. It’s clear he truly cares about the dogs he works with, and my dog, Patron, absolutely loves him. Seeing how excited Patron gets for his walks speaks volumes. If you’re looking for someone professional who you can trust implicitly with your pet, Vlad is the one!”

About: I’ve been an animal lover and pet owner my entire life! I’ve cared for a wide variety of animals, including chickens, goats, cats, and dogs, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I also had the rewarding experience of raising a guide dog, which taught me responsibility, patience, and how to work with dogs in training. I’m comfortable administering medications to both dogs and cats and am committed to providing attentive, reliable care so your pets feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’m currently home from college for the summer so I am available all day for stays and visits. I have a car so I am able to get to your pet whenever you need! I am a very interactive and engaged pet sitter who believes pets are more than just animals, they’re cherished members of the family. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to know your pet is receiving the same love, attention, and care that they get from you. I tailor my care to each pet’s personality and needs, whether that means playing fetch, going on walks, grooming, providing enrichment and playtime, or simply keeping them company and giving them plenty of affection. My goal is to make sure your pet feels comfortable, happy, and loved while you’re away, and to give you peace of mind knowing they’re in caring and capable hands.

“Andrielle did an amazing job taking care of Cleo, as well as bringing in mail & deliveries & watering plants! Cleo was happy when I got home which says a lot about being taken care of by someone new. I highly recommend Andrielle!”

“Stephanie is amazing is honestly the best way to put it. From the communication before even meeting our girls to the actual meet-and-greet itself, she exceeded every expectation we had. Having reactive, anxious dogs can be emotional, and honestly really hard when it comes to finding the right sitter. Stephanie didn’t just handle that well, she handled it with an incredible level of calmness, patience, confidence, and intuition. She asked thoughtful questions, followed our meeting protocol perfectly, and met the girls exactly where they were emotionally. She approached everything calmly and confidently, and our dogs responded to that almost immediately. By the end of the visit, our dog who normally takes a long time before allowing touch was ready to give Stephanie kisses. Our other anxious pup was already listening to cues and happily doing tricks for treats. I genuinely feel so lucky we found her. You can tell this isn’t just a job for Stephanie. She truly understands dogs, especially the ones who need a little extra time and care. I already know she’ll be someone we use long term.”

About: Hello! My name is Mary. I am a lifelong pet owner and animal enthusiast. I grew up on a horse farm with dogs, cats, horses, hamsters, and the odd rogue toad, so caring for animals with love and respect is literally second nature. I'm a somatic embodiment coach by trade, so I have a unique skill set for helping animals feel relaxed and comfortable in my care. I have joyously fostered 20+ dogs and cats in their transition to forever homes, and have extensive experience with house and pet sitting. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and breeds, from 6 pound little weasels to 80 pound gentle giants. I have a special place in my heart for seniors (and have experience caring for them.) I am comfortable and experienced with administering medication. Because I work from home online and over zoom, I can accommodate animals that need a shorter window of alone time. I'd be delighted to treat your fur family with all the love and care I would give my own. I look forward to hearing from you! I have my own online business, so my schedule is very fluid and flexible. I love walking dogs and can easily do day or evening walks and stop-bys. I have experience with staying in many different homes and I know that every animal has its own unique routines, needs and rituals that help it feel in flow. I'm very happy to work with your pet in the way they are used to.

“Presley and Freya loved having Melissa take care of them! I arrived home from my trip yesterday with two pretty relaxed kitties, and a slew of new photos to add to my collection 😁 She was a great communicator, and left everything just as she found it.”

“Amila Masic C. went above and beyond in providing care for our cats, Champ and Jagger. When our prior cat sitter had to cancel last minute, Amila volunteered to fill in despite the extra challenges of securing our house key and was proactive in contacting Rover. In what was a stressful moment, given that we were already out of town, Amila saved the day. During the multiple days of care, Amila provided the utmost care and love for our cats and was helpfully communicative throughout the process. We were happy to return to cats who has been well cared for and an apartment whose floors were immaculately clean—no easy task with two cats and three litter boxes. We highly recommend Amila as a reliable, trustworthy, communicative cat sitter who will lovingly care for and look after your cats and your place.”
