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: We have a busy, loving home with 3 kids, one cat, & two dogs. If your dog loves to be with a busy family, we're the right place for you. I have many years of pet care experience including veterinary care and dog training experience (specifically, I've trained my own dogs through the Petsmart dog training program and passed the Canine Good Citizen test). I'm very comfortable around all types of dogs and animals. I've always treated my pets as part of our family and would always treat any animal in my care with the same devotion. We have three kids (ages 14-16) and they are all used to animals and they are very caring and love to play with all the dogs when they come home from school. The cats can easily avoid the dogs if they want to as they have their own outdoor catio and room. We keep our air conditioner on for our dog already during hot days so any dogs with thick fur will feel very comfortable. There's no carpet in our house so potty issues are easier to manage as well. I work from home, so other than errands or short outings the dogs have someone home with them nearly all the time. We have a gated kitchen so dogs can be separated if needed. We have a large fenced yard with a covered patio and when it’s too hot to be outside, the dogs are in the air conditioned house with us.

About: I am a responsible and caring pet lover who enjoys spending time with animals. While I don’t have professional pet-sitting experience, I have helped care for pets of friends and family, including feeding, walking, playing, and providing companionship. I am patient, reliable, and will treat your pets with the same care and attention I would give my own. 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.

“Tatiana is very reliable and communicative! She did a wonderful job taking care of my 2 cats, and also cleaned up around my apartment and picked up my mail. It was easy to reach her if I had any concerns and she was always responsive. I would definitely hire her again!”

Love doggos and just looking for some fun ones to spend time with :) I just moved here to join my husband and just want to fill the part of the days when I’m bored! I love getting out and walking, thought having a new companion with just me or with Dax too would be a blast! I will care for your pets in anyway you need! Great at following directions and will take care of your pet as if it were my own.

“Wonderful sitter and would definitely use her services again! Gen took great care of my dog and tortoise at my home while I was out of town. She followed my instructions regarding feedings and walks perfectly and even went the extra mile and brought in my mail, opened and closed curtains, brought up my garbage cans and watered plants as needed. My dog immediately liked her and when I got home I could tell he was happy and well cared for. She played ball, took him on walks around the neighborhood and to the park, and even tucked him in his dog bed at night. I loved all the cute pictures and regular updates she sent me. I felt completely at ease to enjoy my vacation knowing my pets were in such excellent hands. I will definitely be recommending her to all my friends and family the next time they are in need of an outstanding sitter! 😊”

“Jessica did a wonderful job with Jackson. She sent pictures and videos with descriptions to keep me apprised of everything. She let me know that she'd be a bit late because of traffic, and then let me know when she left my house. I'd definitely use her again!”

Natalie I.

“Jennifer was awesome! We have two crazy cattle dogs that can be quite a handful, but Jennifer was able to patiently watch them while we were away. She is the best! We will definitely contact her for more dog sitting the next time we go out of town.”

About: I’ve owned and taken care of cats and dogs in the past 10+ years. Friends have relied on me to take care their pets (dog boarding/home visits) when They are away. I am mainly working from home, so I can adjust my work time to fit your pets’ need on weekday. And should be all available on weekend. I care for my pets like my family. For your pet, I will understand What your pet needs first, and take care of them as you usually do, not making them stressed about your away.

About: I dog sit of my friend dog once a while for almost 5 years. She normally stay with me more than 7 days. I’m good at take her out for a walk even during raining day. I love to give them belly rub. I spend most of my weekend at home so I have time to take care pet during the weekend. I like to take pet wherever I go, otherwise I feel bad for leave them at home for a long time. I live in a two story townhouse with 2 bedrooms, offering plenty of space for small dogs to comfortably move around and go up and down the stairs. There’s a community park right outside my home, and I love spending time outdoors. I’m happy to take dogs on long walks and make sure they get plenty of exercise and fresh air, especially if they enjoy being active.

About: My whole life I have had pets and love being around animals. I love the company you can give to them and the joy they can bring to you. I am young and active so can easily exercise your animals and love being outdoors. I am organized and responsible for feeding times and potty breaks. I have a Golden Retriever named Leonard who is 1.5 years old and love on him more every day. We go on many adventures and love being outdoors, meeting new friends and socializing them as much as possible. Please feel free to contact me with any more questions! Would love to help you and your pet out, or meet for a social play date. Non dominant dogs are preferred. Thanks! I work remotely from home so I am able to give the animals a few walks a day, along with a park date if weather allows! I love the exercise as much as they do, and love the company we can provide each other while working and being present with them at home. I will ensure all needs are met individually to each client. I know each baby is very special to the client, so will ensure to ask what extra steps need to be taken depending on who I am watching. I will also be extremely careful with each client's home if I am traveling to you.
