Cat Sitting Pleasant Hill

About: I'm a retired officer, background-checked through Rover, and have more than 10 years of experience caring for my own dogs as well as friends', family members', and clients' pets. Throughout my career and personal life, responsibility, trustworthiness, and attention to detail have always been important to me, and I bring those same qualities to every pet I care for. In 2016, I adopted Barney the Shih Tzu, followed by Jack in 2019. Both were estimated to be about four years old at the time. In 2025, Jack passed away from bone cancer, giving me firsthand experience caring for a senior dog with significant medical needs. In 2022, I rescued Penny, the white pup in my profile photo. Certifications & Experience • Cat & Dog First Aid (American Red Cross) • Experience administering oral medications • Experience caring for senior pets and pets with special needs • Experience caring for dogs and cats of various ages, sizes, and temperaments, including a large Rottweiler I believe every pet deserves patience, kindness, consistency, and individualized care. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, senior and slower-paced, or simply happiest sticking to a familiar routine, my goal is to provide dependable care while helping them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine, and I'm home much of the time. This allows me to provide regular companionship, potty breaks, feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and supervision throughout the day. Because I intentionally limit the number of pets I care for at one time, I am able to provide a more personalized level of attention and maintain a calmer environment for the pets in my care. Whether caring for pets in my home or in a client's home, I strive to maintain their normal routine as closely as possible. Consistency helps pets feel comfortable, secure, and relaxed while their owners are away. My schedule is generally flexible, allowing me to accommodate a variety of care needs, including daycare, overnight care, drop-in visits, and pet sitting in a client's home. Pick-up and drop-off service may be available depending on distance and scheduling. My dogs are part of the family and spend much of their time relaxing near us, on the furniture, or curled up on a lap. Visiting pets are treated with the same level of care, attention, and companionship while in my home. Dogs are welcome on furniture unless owners request otherwise. I intentionally limit the number of guest dogs I accept at one time to help create a calm, safe, and low-stress environment. This allows me to provide close supervision and a more personalized experience than many high-volume pet care settings. If you prefer your dog to be crated for sleeping, feeding, or when unattended, I'm happy to accommodate as long as a crate is provided. Visiting dogs should be reasonably housebroken, with exceptions considered on a case-by-case basis for puppies and special circumstances. Meet-and-greets are strongly preferred whenever possible before services begin. They allow me to learn about your pet's personality, needs, and comfort level while helping determine whether my home and care style are a good fit. When caring for pets in a client's home, I respect both the pet's routine and the owner's home, providing dependable care, companionship, exercise, and attentive supervision. I believe every pet deserves patience, kindness, consistency, and respect. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable environment where pets can feel relaxed, secure, and well cared for while their owners are away.

About: I have had dogs since I can remember and raised a puppy when I was a teenager. I house sit and watch my family and friends dogs often. I have a cat of my own and love her to pieces. I've administered insulin shots to my parents elderly dog and have even taken him to vet visits. I love all animals no matter what shape or size or species. I know leaving your family member in the hands of a stranger can be stressful and I try to make that experience as stress free as possible. I am overly communicative and extremely cautious with your animals! Lots of pics and updates included! I would love to help you with yours! I am currently very flexible and would love to gain long term clients with regularly scheduled daily walks and then move to overnight visits once trust is established and I get to know your animal more! I would not be able to take any pets into my own home. I am happy to walk even your run pups or do mid day check ins for cats or more!

“Elizabeth is phenomenal. She is super responsive, kind, and great with Kitty. I’m so excited to get updates from her and see what cute pics she took that day. Thank you so so so much.”

About: I’m a responsible and caring pet lover who truly enjoys spending time with animals. My home is a safe, loving environment where pets receive plenty of attention and care. My partner and I work together to make sure every dog gets the exercise, playtime, and affection they need, so your pet will always have company and lots of love while they’re with us. I am a stay-at-home mom with a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide reliable and attentive care throughout the day. I spend most of my time at home or running local errands, so I can easily fit pet visits, walks, feeding, and playtime into my routine. My partner also has a flexible schedule and is happy to help when needed, allowing us to provide consistent care and attention for your pets. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I will follow your instructions carefully regarding feeding, exercise, medications, and routines to help your pet feel secure and comfortable. I understand that every pet has different needs and personalities, and I will provide patient, loving care while keeping you updated with photos and messages. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to create a safe, stress-free experience.

About: I understand that our pets are our family, so I always aim to care for them with the same empathy and patience that you do. I dedicated my career to becoming an experienced animal welfare professional because I love animals so much! I started working in veterinary settings, then handled rescue intakes and studied dog training. This background gave me the unique ability to truly understand cat and dog body language, ensuring they always feel secure and understood. Whether its managing large dog playgroups or administering basic medical care, I am highly experienced and comfortable with all sizes, ages, and temperaments. I’m also happy to assist with any other unique pets in your household! I have experience working with exotics in vet clinics but I love all creatures and am happy to care for any non-traditional pets. I look forward to giving your animals a fun, loving, and mentally stimulating routine (: My current work schedule will allow me to be available mornings and early afternoons every Monday through Friday. Generally, anywhere from 7 am - 1 pm. I grew up with animals my whole life and often helped take care of them. Their happiness and love means the world to me, so I always make sure they’re fulfilled. Spending quality time together is important, I love cuddling or just hanging out with them whenever and wherever. I will follow their feeding schedule and always stay alert to make sure I’m there if they need me, so you can rest assured that your beloved babies will be treated well when you’re away.

“Rachael was punctual, great with communication, and took cute photos of our boys. She seems to have a lot of experience and wasn't intimidated by our younger dog that can be a handful. We look forward to having her come again!”

“Maire is a great sitter! She was very patient with my new puppy and my puppy loves her! She kept me updated throughout the visit, including her observation of my puppy behavior that was really helpful. Would absolutely have Maire sit for us again!”

Deviana B.

“Sabrina was a great sitter! I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing my cat was being well taken care of and that I would receive regular updates. Having that peace of mind is the most important thing for me when I’m away for an extended period. When I arrived home, it was like I had never left—my cat was happy, comfortable, and clearly well cared for. I would absolutely book with Sabrina again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring cat sitter. 🐱💕”

“Elena was absolutely wonderful! She took such great care of our cat, Luka, and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We really appreciated how thoughtful she was about checking in and keeping us updated. I loved receiving the daily photos she captured and her updates always made me smile. It was clear that she genuinely cared about Luka's well-being and made sure he was happy, comfortable, and well looked after. We highly recommend Elana to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive pet sitter and look forward to rebooking with her in the future! Thank you, Elena!”

“Alexis was amazing! She was super communicative throughout the booking and stay, providing daily pictures of Mac to let us know how he was doing.”

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover and currently have two cats of my own, so I’m very familiar with feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, and making sure they’re happy and comfortable. I’ve also had a dog in the past and helped care for him by feeding him and taking him on walks. I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, and I’m patient, dependable, and attentive to their routines. I’ll follow your care instructions closely and treat your pets with the same care and attention I give my own. I currently have a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to provide reliable pet care throughout the week. I’m available for drop-in visits and walks during the day, as well as evenings and weekends. I’m happy to work around each pet’s normal routine and make sure they get the care and attention they need while their owner is away. I always follow the owner’s care instructions and try to keep each pet’s routine as normal and comfortable as possible. In a client’s home, I make sure doors and gates are secure, food and water are taken care of, litter boxes or pet areas are kept clean, and pets get the attention, playtime, or space they need. I’m respectful of both the pet and the owner’s home, and I’ll provide updates so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is safe and well cared for.

“Genna is the sweetest! She was super communicative, sent lots of pics and videos, and played with my cats every day. 10/10 would book Genna again.”

About: I like to say I'm an animal whisperer ;). Have been pet sitting / caring for other's pets for over a decade but for my own pets my whole life. I'm confident, cognizant and sensitive to the needs of animals whether it's feeding, walking, playing, potential threats or health hazards. I have often sat for pet owners for multiple pets up to a month at a time. I have had pets my whole life (mainly cats / dogs) of many breeds, sizes, temperaments and health concerns or requirements. Growing up I had a bird, hermit crab, guinea pig, hamster, fish. When I worked at a public school I helped out with a cute bearded dragon! For overnights - I understand that when staying in their homes that I am to leave it in a cleanly condition and am comfortable asking questions in order to maintain those conditions the home was left in.*Please note I am looking for sits which I may bring my male Bernese Mountain Dog. He is good around cats & farm animals too!** I'm active person with a flexible schedule so pet care works out well. Owning my own dog, I am used to schedules + routines and can adjust easily to other dog's schedules or routines. Dogs get let out every 4-6 hours (or as needed), fed on their schedules, walks, hikes and/or outdoor play times, field trips. I treat their pets like I do my own: lots of TLC and cater to their needs as much as I can. For cats - depending on their nature (if indoor / outdoor), I like to make sure I am able to visibly see & check in with some TLC, play or just see to make sure they're safe!

“Quinn is great! I love how professional she is with everything. She is punctual, great communication and most of all take awesome care for my kitties .I would definitely book them again .”

About: I’ve been the go-to pet sitter for my friends and family my whole life. Growing up in a rural area, I gained hands-on experience with a wide variety of animals, from dogs and cats to horses, sheep, goats, cows, and barn cats. So I'm comfortable with the rowdiest cattle dogs to the most shy dogs and kittens. Our place was always open to anyone’s animal to come over and enjoy some freedom and care. I love getting to know each pet’s unique personality and making sure they feel happy, safe, and loved while their human is away. Whether it’s just for a walk or an overnight stay, I look forward to building a connection with your furry friend and giving them all the cuddles and comfort they need. I currently am working a part time job, my shifts range from 5.5 - 6 hours with one day a week being 8 hours. My schedule is best work walking dogs or dog sitting for pups that are okay at home alone during the day. I value the trust you place in me to care for your pets and home. I’m very clean, respectful, and detail-oriented. I’ll always leave your home exactly as you left it, if not cleaner. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable environment so you can relax knowing everything is in good hands.

“Great experience with Sara watching my cat. Sara was a fantastic communicator (let me know when she was on her way, wrote a daily synopsis, lots of cat pictures and videos) and very professional. My cat was very happy and calm upon my return.”
