Cat Sitting Riccas Corner

“Thank you Kaitlin for looking after Kyburz over the holiday! It's clear he was excited to see you and get pets and treats. ❤️🐾 Kaitlin is great, reliable, and always comes through for us. She moves packages in, arrives when she says, and lavishes our cat with attention. Look forward to working with her again!”

About: I grew up with lots of dogs and cats and have always had a lot of love for animals. I’m very attentive to their body language and behavior and do my best to understand what they need and what makes them feel comfortable. I also enjoy training my own pets, especially for their safety and the safety of others, while understanding that every dog is different and needs a different approach. Most of all, I believe in treating every being with love, patience, and respect and would care for your pets the same way I care for my own. I’m a freelancer with a flexible schedule and availability during the week and on weekends. I love getting outside and am happy to take your pup for a walk even on rainy or chilly days. I’m very respectful of people’s homes and belongings and am careful to leave things just as I found them. I know pets are used to their routines, so I’m punctual with feeding, walks, medications, and any other schedules you have in place.

“My cat LOVES Alissa. I've never seen her gravitate and cuddle with someone so quickly. Will be booking Alissa as often as possible!”

About: I’m the lady who crosses the street to ask if I can pet your dog. I love all dogs, but big dogs have my heart. I confess, I’m also the lady that will remember your dog’s name, age and origins, but perhaps not always your name. Although I have the confidence and experience to befriend your big dogs, that shouldn’t suggest that I don’t love our smaller friends, as well. Big and small, I love them all❣️ I’ve been responsible for animals most of my life. Chiefly, I’ve had the privilege to care and own big dogs. Growing up, we had a Sheppard-Mastiff mix, and that’s when my love for big dogs began. In our house, we had a macaw, cockatoo, kākāriki, ring-necked parakeet, and a cockatiel, tropical/ saltwater fish, dogs, and cats. I continue to be a proud breed ambassador and have owned 4 Rottweilers over the years. I’ve been gainfully employed as a civil servant for 25 years. After my last Rottweiler passed away, I wanted to care for a dog again, but haven’t adopted quite yet. I enjoy hiking, outdoor activities, walking and traveling, and of course dogs! I’ve had the privilege to care for our misunderstood and sometimes reactive dog friends, as well. All dogs deserve love. I helped welp Belgian Malinois puppies and ensure they found loving, deserving homes. I joke that, “If the choice was between world peace or puppies, I would choose puppies.” I can’t wait to meet your doggie! Since I’m a civil servant, my schedule is consistent. I have free nights and 3-day weekends. I enjoy a lot of free time that I would like to fulfill with dogs. I have a secured, fenced yard. I can also kennel your pets as well. My responsibility to you is ensuring your family member is secure in my charge.

““Pet sitter” doesn’t even begin to cover how many hats Rachael wears! Mail collector, trash can wrangler, dish washer, royal cat chauffeur, palanquin bearer, book narrator… the list truly goes on and on because she consistently goes above and beyond. She takes care of not just your animals, but your home and all the little details you didn’t even realize mattered until she handles them flawlessly. Everything feels so cared for, thoughtful, and intentional. I trust her completely and genuinely feel so lucky to have found her! She is absolutely amazing.”

“Always reliable, and very caring:)”

“Berenice is amazing! She is the first cat sitter we've had that also sends daily video updates, along with photos. She even brought a brush and toys with her and our cat LOVED being brushed. We came home to a happy cat, who is now waiting at the door for Berenice to come back 😅 We will definitely be hiring Berenice again 💗”

Nicole W.

“Wonderful experience from meet and greet to the day of a drop in visit. Our dogs were well taken care of and Emilia gave plenty of updates. We will definitely use again.”

About: I’ve had pets my entire life and have nearly two years of animal shelter experience. I currently work at a pet hospital and have hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats with different personalities, needs, and routines. I believe in fear-free, gentle care and making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and happy. I’m available all day Sundays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays. The rest of the week, I’m available for visits after 6:30 PM. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and schedule! I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pets with someone you trust. I have two dogs at home, so I understand how much our animals mean to us. When I’m caring for your pets, they’ll get plenty of attention, affection, and patience.

About: Finding someone to care for your pet can feel like a lot. You want to know they'll be safe, happy, and treated like family while you're away, and you don't want to spend your whole day wondering how they're doing. ⠀ That's where I come in! ⠀ I raised and trained my own dog from a tiny puppy all the way to crossing the rainbow bridge, and it was the best experience of my life. I also went through Sirius Puppy Training, so I know how to work with dogs using positive, reward-based methods that help them feel confident and comfortable with me. ⠀ Got a dog with energy to burn? I know all the best local spots, like Riverfront, Laguna, Taylor Mountain, and Spring Lake, and I love taking pups out to explore. I bring along games to keep their brains busy too. You'll come home to one happy, tired dog. ⠀ Got a senior who likes to take it slow? We'll stroll the neighborhood at whatever pace feels good to them. ⠀ Does your pet need meds or a little extra TLC? I've handled complicated medication routines for dogs in treatment, so you can trust me to follow your instructions to the letter. ⠀ Have a cat? I'm a cat person too! I'm happy to stop by for feedings, litter changes, and some good company. ⠀ You'll get photos and a quick update every visit, so you'll always know how your pet is doing. And since my schedule's flexible, last-minute requests, early mornings, and evenings are no problem. ⠀ I'd love to meet you and your furry family member! 🐈🐕 I work from home as a freelancer and can accommodate most requests on weekdays, sometimes I can also pick up work on weekends. I walk everyday, rain or shine and love to bring happy dogs on the trail! In My Home: I treat every pet in my care as if they were my own. I maintain a calm, safe environment and follow your established routines as closely as possible—from feeding schedules to playtime preferences. For dogs, I provide plenty of exercise through walks or hikes suited to their energy level, and I'm always attentive to their comfort and body language. I keep pets secure with leashed walks, and I'm vigilant about potential hazards both indoors and on trails. For pets on medication or special diets, I follow instructions carefully and keep detailed notes. I also provide regular updates with photos so you can enjoy peace of mind while you're away. Since I work from home, the pet is with me 24/7, with only short breaks if I need to go do an errand - in which case we use a crate. In Your Home: I respect your home as I would my own. I follow all your instructions for feeding, medication, routines, and house rules. I keep things tidy, secure doors and windows, and ensure your pet stays safe and comfortable in their familiar environment. I'm happy to bring in mail, water plants, or adjust lighting to give your home a lived-in feel while you're away. Communication is key, so I provide regular updates and am always available if questions come up. My goal is to make the transition seamless for both you and your pet.

“I definitely recommend Ashleigh as your next pet sitter! She went above and beyond and made sure our cats were well taken care of! We were surprised that our shy little guy came out and played with her while we were away. She’s awesome!”

About: I have loved animals like family as long as I can remember. And feel I have a special connection with them and them with me because of my calm and centered energy. Animals communicate and respond through peoples energy and I feel its how they know to feel safe. I care for dogs, cats, bunnies, birds, lizards etc. And am happy to answer any questions on all. I work for myself so I have a flexible schedule and can usually accommodate most schedule needs of pet parents. I typically make morning and evening rounds and unless I am out of town I am available 7 days a week. I take pride in my attention to detail and upon first introduction I try and get as much information as possible about a clients home and needs pertaining to their pets and what they are used to so that I can do my best to maintain that schedule and activity.

“Communication was excellent with rapid replies to our questions. Our cat did not seem traumatized as she has been at some sitters.”

Scott V.

“Micki cares about my cats' well being and is attentive to their needs and to their environment. When I return home, I know that they have received a lot of love.”

About: I have loved animals since I was a little kid, and I grew up surrounded by animals including a cat, two dogs, and a rabbit. As a teen, I was also a junior zookeeper for several years at my local wildlife refuge, helping to care for animals that couldn’t be released into the wild and also educating visitors on the importance of these animals and their natural habitats. For the last 10 years, I have had the pleasure of being the guardian of a sassy little tabby named Moon. I have also had the pleasure to housesit for some other furry friends when their humans were out of town. Currently have a pretty flexible schedule as long as I know a few days in advance what’s up 😊 Which is why I unfortunately can’t take same day bookings. At this time, I am unable to accommodate overnight housesitting requests where a pet cannot be left alone for at least 4 hours at a time. I am committed to making sure that your furry family members are safe and well cared for while they are with me. Please communicate any known issues to me (things your pet likes to chew that they shouldn’t, medications they take, behavior issues, for instance) and in turn I will do my absolute best to keep them safe and report any possible issues immediately.

“This should really be at least 10 stars. Julie is a true professional. She clearly loves animals and orivided such loving care. Iline if the most difficult things anout my recent move to California was finding care for the cats when we travel. Pip especially needs extra TLC and must be medicated daily. Julie quickly got through the business of the day and spent some quality time each day with the “kids.” Couldn’t be happier!”

“Rissa is very kinda and sweet to my pups! She’s extremely helpful and sends me lots of pictures! :)”
