Cat Sitting in Pleasant Hill

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover, starting my journey at just 12 years old, walking dogs and pet sitting for neighbors. Over the years, my passion for animals grew into a profession, and for the past 7 years, I’ve worked as a veterinary assistant. From managing health issues and ensuring proper exercise to offering endless love and attention, I provide care that goes above and beyond basic sitting. I have in-depth experience with administering medications, senior care, and specialized needs for puppies and kittens. As a passionate dog trainer, I’ve also successfully trained my own pup since he was just 4 months old, making him the well-behaved boy he is today. I'm currently completing my Bachelor's degree at Lane Community College. Because I am mostly online for school, other than Tuesday nights (6:00 pm - 9:00 pm), my schedule is flexible for you and your pets! I’m happy to be flexible with drop-off and pickup times, but please try to stick to the agreed-upon schedule, as changes may require rescheduling based on my availability that day. For recurring bookings, I do my best to maintain a consistent schedule. Occasionally, a day or time may need to be adjusted, especially during holiday months, and I’ll always provide advance notice whenever possible. For house sitting, I am not able to provide 24/7 constant care. I balance my own pets, family, work, school, loyal clients, and other commitments, so I focus on providing high-quality care during the times I’m available. Reasonable time limits for when I’m away can be arranged to ensure your pet’s routine and comfort are maintained. To keep my calendar updated and ensure I can continue receiving booking requests, please note: if you are requesting a sitting within one week, you’ll have 24 hours to respond before I archive the request. For bookings more than a week away, you’ll have 48 hours to respond before the request is archived. In my care, I strive to create a comfortable, stress-free environment for your pets, whether it’s in my home or yours. MEET & GREET: -During the initial meet & greet for boarding and doggy day care, you’re welcome inside my home to see where your pet(s) will be staying. After that, drop-offs and pickups happen from the car. This makes it easier and safer for me to introduce your pet(s) to my dog again, since pets often behave differently when their owner isn’t nearby. -The first meet & greet is complimentary. I require additional requested meet & greets and key pickups to be booked as drop-ins. -To keep things on schedule, meet & greets are 30 minutes. IN YOUR HOME: -I follow their routine closely, including feeding, walks, playtime, and medications. I monitor their health and behavior, give plenty of affection, and respect your space by keeping it clean and secure. IN MY HOME: -I provide a cozy, pet-friendly setting with structure, supervision, and love. I treat every pet like my own, ensuring they’re cared for with the same level of love and expertise. I have a well-behaved, friendly 15lb rescue pup that would love to be your pet's next best friend. -For the first night, I usually have pups sleep in a kennel. From experience, pets can behave differently in a new environment, and kenneling provides a controlled and safe space to help them adjust. I’m happy to discuss your dog’s needs to ensure a comfortable and stress-free stay. Overall, my goal is to make sure your pets feel loved, comfortable, and secure in any environment, while providing the expert care they need.

“Kelsie was an absolute dream to work with! Kelsie did weekly drop-in visits for me for 6+ months. My very shy and nervous dog loved her and I never had any concerns for his safety or happiness when he was in her care. She is communicative, flexible, and exceptionally trustworthy. I would highly recommend Kelsie to care for your fur babies!”

“Jessica was amazing with my kitty over Christmas. She communicated daily, sent pictures, and gave my kitty lots of treats, cuddles, and love. My kitty and house was well-cared for when I arrived home. She went above and beyond, bringing extra food when my kitty got low on wet food. I cannot recommend Jessica enough and will be my #1 choice when I need a sitter in the future.”

About: What sets me apart as a sitter is how attentive and patient I am with animals. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and comfort level so they feel safe and relaxed while their owner is away. I’m very reliable, detail-oriented, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m especially gentle with nervous or shy pets and make sure they get plenty of reassurance, exercise, and affection at their own pace. I’m comfortable following specific feeding schedules, administering basic care as instructed, and keeping owners updated with messages and photos so they have peace of mind. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel happy, cared for, and loved in a calm, positive environment. Pet care fits well into my weekly routine. I attend college on Mondays and Wednesdays, am mostly home and available on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and available Fridays until the evening. I work short weekend shifts but remain flexible for pet care before and after work. I live in an apartment with two cats and maintain a calm, clean, and safe environment. I carefully follow feeding, exercise, and medication instructions, give pets plenty of attention, and adjust care based on their comfort level. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their routines, keep spaces tidy, and provide updates so owners feel confident their pets are well cared for.

“We had Amber come and drop in for a few days while we were away for our wedding. We were ak nervous at the thought of being away from our fur baby as we never have left him before. Amber was amazing and sent us a lot of updates with pictures. Will definitely be using her again!”

About: I got my first pet at 18, a kitten who was from a stray in the neighborhood. I still have that cat today she is 16 and a 1 year old rescued chihuahua mix. I’ve fostered over 30 dogs and a few kittens, volunteered at our local animal shelters and worked events trying to find pets loving homes. I love caring for animals and being a person animals trust. I am a self employed person so my schedule is very flexible, I take my own dog on daily walks and can fit things in easily. My animals are the center of my world and I am always wanting them to be safe, comfortable and loved. I will do the exact same for your babies within your household boundaries. But mine will always sleep in my bed! :)

“This was our first time using Kristine and she was great. She was able to help us out on short notice by adjusting her schedule. She responded quickly to our questions and communicated very well. Our normally reactive dog warmed up to her quickly thanks to her calm and secure presence. Kristine followed the details of our care request and we were very happy with the service she provided. We plan to call on her again.”

About: I’ve had cats and dogs since I was a child. I’ve taken care of clients pet babies in their home. Feeding, cleaning cat litter, playing with them and administering medication. Making them feel loved while their parents are away. I also have had the opportunity to volunteer at a horse therapy program where I cleaned stables, fed the horses, washed them, brushed them and cleaned their hoofs. I also assisted the mentally and physically disabled individuals on the horses while they were doing their lessons. I am currently retired and have all the time in the world to care for your pet babies. I have a large home that would be comfy and cozy for them I have an adequate yard to take your pet Babies in. I have a bike trail to walk them in and an open area to play with them.

“I did enjoy Randi services. Based on her observation, I will definitely check with the vets regarding Audi eating grass. Overall, she is good in taking care of our dog and not only that she kept the dog place clean.”

“Raven did an absolutely incredible job caring for our pets and farm animals while we were away! She handled everything, from our cats and dogs (including our two livestock guardian dogs) to our duck, chickens, goats, and alpacas, with so much professionalism, patience, and genuine love. It’s not easy finding someone you can trust with such a diverse crew, but Raven went above and beyond. She kept us updated, sent photos, and even let us FaceTime with our especially needy dog, which gave us total peace of mind. I can’t recommend her highly enough - she’s dependable, kind, and truly has a gift with animals!”

“Skyla is our person!! We’ve booked dozens of drop in visits this past year for our special needs kitties and she is just the best. So caring, reliable, responsive, reassuring, flexible (when we’ve had some glitches like stuck over night at the airport), and extremely trustworthy. Her pics are always so cute and the reports crack me up. Blaze and Flash absolutely adore her. We just appreciate you so much, Skyla!!”

About: While my specialty and preference is cats, I'm happy to provide care for your dog(s) too. I've had dogs in my life previously, and can care for well socialized, good natured dogs who live with cats that I am caring for. I can walk them, feed them, play with them, do poop-scooping duties, give potty breaks, etc. I work minimal, flexible hours from home, so I can likely meet your pet(s) care needs as requested. Can work mornings, afternoons, and early evenings. I have cared for indoor only kitties, indoor/outdoor kitties, and for barn or more feral types of kitties. Will meet them where they are, and follow your instructions closely.
