Cat Sitting in Riverside Grove

“Thank you so much Chloe for taking such good care of the kitties! I loved getting your photos while away - seeing the kitties having a great time with you really eased any concerns I had about being away”

Lynn L.

“Lara is wonderful. We were gone for several days, the longest time since we got our kitten. Lara sent notes and photos that let us know he is completely comfortable with her and happy to do his usual stuff while she is around. He was happy to see us when we got home, but totally relaxed.”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats since middle school, and my love for animals has only grown over the years. I’m experienced with all types of dogs and can confidently support any behavioral needs they may have. Whether your pet is playful, shy, or needs special attention, I’ll treat them like family and make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away. I work 8-4:30 Monday through Friday. I am willing to tend to your loved one(s) before work, during my lunch break and after work! I am available weekends as well. Willing to be flexible depending on your schedule and your pet’s needs! When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on making them feel safe, loved, and comfortable in their familiar environment. I stick to their regular routines—walks, meals, playtime, and potty breaks—to help them feel at ease. I have experience with multiple pets and can manage different personalities and needs. I’m also comfortable administering medications, including pills and special feeding. I’m available for overnight stays and will treat your home with care and respect, keeping you updated with photos and messages so you can travel worry-free.

“Annabelle is an animal whisperer! She took care of my cranky chihuahua wonderfully. Will definitely request her time again.”

“Aiyana did a wonderful job cat/house sitting over the Mother's Day weekend, so I could visit my mom. She was prompt, did all the things that I asked her to do and was very professional. She left the house exactly as she found it, and my cat was well cared for. Honest, trustworthy and set my mind at ease during my trip. Thanks Aiyana!!”

About: I have experience caring for both cats and dogs, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals of all kinds. I currently care for four cats at home, each with their own unique personality and needs, and I’ve also looked after a friend’s dog. These experiences have taught me how to handle everything from energetic pups and playful kittens to more sensitive or independent pets. I’m attentive, patient, and always focused on making animals feel safe, relaxed, and loved. Whether it’s feeding, walks, litter box cleaning, medication, or quiet companionship, I take pride in giving each pet the thoughtful care they deserve. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine since I already care for four pets at home. I’m very flexible with my schedule, especially in the afternoons and evenings. I always make sure pets get the attention, care, and time they need throughout the day. At my home, I provide a calm, clean, and safe environment where pets can feel at ease. I pay close attention to their individual needs, whether that means a quiet space for a shy cat or active playtime and walks for an energetic dog. I always make sure they have fresh food and water, a clean space, and plenty of attention. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routines closely, send updates, and treat their home with respect. My goal is to make every cat or dog feel safe, loved, and comfortable in my care.

About: I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs of all sizes and personalities. From raising two pit bulls from puppies through their senior years to currently caring for my energetic husky, I have hands-on experience with all kinds of breeds. Since I was 14, I’ve been the go-to dog walker and sitter for neighbors, friends, and family—trusted to walk, feed, bathe, and even help train their pets. I’m comfortable giving medication, handling senior dogs with special needs, and making sure every pup feels loved and secure. Your dog will be in caring, patient, and experienced hands! I’m currently working an internship at Tesla in Palo Alto, CA, Monday through Friday from 9 to 5. My schedule is flexible because I split my time between working remotely and in the office. This allows me to provide midday walks, evening care, and lots of attention on weekends. I’m available for boarding, walks, and drop-in visits in the afternoons, evenings, and all weekend long. Your pup will always have someone attentive around! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I understand how important it is for dogs to be in their own home, where they feel most relaxed and secure in their familiar environment. I keep your dog’s routine consistent, whether that means regular walks around the neighborhood, playtime, or simply quiet company. I’m attentive to each dog’s needs—whether they’re energetic or like their alone time—and I make sure they get plenty of love, attention, and gentle care. You can trust that your pup will be treated like family, happy and safe until you return. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your fur baby. I’m here to provide the same gentle, loving care I’d want for my own dogs. Can’t wait to meet your pup.

“Grateful that Sara were able to check in on our cats while we were away. You’re awesome!”

About: I have been a lifelong dog owner. I can care for a variety of pups from young and energetic to senior pups. I love to take my own dogs on my adventures throughout the Santa Cruz mountains from casual walks to long adventure runs and so I can accommodate whatever your dog needs. I also like to spend time training and practicing commands because dogs also like to be engaged mentally along with the physical. Of course love and affection through cuddles is always guaranteed and unlimited. I have lots of experienced with many different dog personalities and can accommodate them accordingly to make sure they are well cared for. I have a very flexible schedule that is mostly already based around my own pups so I am very much able to accommodate yours as well! I have availability to provide attentive, reliable care for your pets throughout the day and evening. I already incorporate activities like dog walking and trail running into my daily routine which means I can offer active dogs a great adventure while also being available for quiet cuddle and consistent care for all pets. In my home, I treat every guest like family. My home is a safe, dog-friendly environment with a fenced yard where they can play safely. We'll follow their regular feeding schedule and I'll make sure they get plenty of exercise with daily walks, running for high-energy dogs, and lots of mental stimulation. In the evenings, it's all about cuddles and relaxation on the couch, ensuring they feel comfortable and loved. When caring for pets in a client's home, my top priority is to maintain their familiar routine. I'll adhere strictly to their feeding schedule, walking routine, and any specific commands they know. My goal is to be a calm and reliable presence, providing consistent care and affection in their own environment. I'll also ensure your home is kept clean and secure, leaving it just as I found it.

“Would recommend Daniela in a heartbeat. Totally reliable and made our trip so much more relaxing knowing that our. 3 cats were being so well cared for.”

Rose M.

“We hired Quinn to visit our dog during work days when my partner was out of town. She was amazing! Quinn worked on commands with her, took her on mini adventures, and chased our dog down when she ran off after turkeys. It was fun and such a relief to get the updates during and after check ins, too. I’m so thankful we found Quinn and would definitely hire her again.”

About: I graduated with a degree in animal science and love taking care of animals. I've worked as a vet tech previously and am now working in wildlife rehabilitation. I have experience caring for all types of animals and administering medications. I'm currently working full time, so I have limited availability during the week. I am available after 5pm on weekdays and all day on weekends. I love meeting new animals and getting to know their personalities. I treat any animal as if it were my own and I love it when I get to take care of pets more than once. I love being able to make a connection with them.

“Ulysses took care of my kitties for several days. When I got home they were calm and fed. I could tell that they had been well cared for. Everything looked great and he even took out the trash for pickup. I will use his services again.”

About: I'm a recent college graduate, and I've grown up with cats since I was three years old and can't imagine my life without them. I love getting to know cats and unearthing their unique personality and quirks. I have experience administering medications, cleaning litter boxes, and watching outdoor cats. I also have experience caring for senior cats and some experience watching small and medium-sized dogs. I'm currently working two part-time jobs, so I will have time to visit your furry friend(s) at least twice per day, depending on their needs. I will spend as much time as I can with your fur babies, including time for play outside or inside, or more TLC if they're feeling tired. I will approach your pet with compassion and adapt my approach to your pet's mood.

“Chutku seems well taken care of and a happy fellow. He was clearly left in good hands!”

About: I've cared for dogs, cats, snakes, lizards, frogs, parakeets, hamsters, fish and turtles. I volunteered with Guide Dogs for the Blind as a puppy raiser and learned a lot about positive dog training from that experience. I can administer meds (pills, inhaled steroids, subcutaneous fluids) and carry out routine grooming tasks. I have had 4 dogs and 5 cats over my adult years but currently have no pets. I am recently retired and walk about 3-5 miles/day. Miss walking with a dog. I love cats and miss having one around. I am retired and walk 3-5 miles a day so I can easily fit pet care into my weekly routine and I miss walking with a dog. I am very responsible and will follow your instructions and treat your pets (and home if house sitting) with the same care as I would my own. I live on a quiet street in a safe neighborhood and have a fenced yard. I have a cool head in a crisis. I work with one client at a time. If you have two pets, that is ok with me.

About: I’ve been working with animals my whole life, both professionally and personally. I have been a trusted dog sitter for my friends and family for years and have worked closely with Monterey Bay Lab rescue as a foster parent. Over the years I have cared for dogs of all age groups, including multiple litters of puppies. While it could be difficult at times, it was always worth it knowing that the dogs were well loved and going to a good home. I’m excited to be given the opportunity of caring for your pet. With over a decade of experience under my belt I can guarantee the best possible care for your baby! As a college student, my summer schedule is extremely open and flexible. I'm willing to adhere to your needs so I can ensure that your pet is well cared for. When it comes to pet care, the most important thing is trust! In order to form a positive relationship with an animal, it’s important to show them unconditional love and appreciation. If they can’t trust you, then you won’t be able to give them the tools they need to succeed. Similarly, it's important to show the owner that you are a reliable figure by adhering to a strict schedule and actively listening to their pets' needs.

“Heidi was awesome with our two cats! She came by before we left to get the keys and see where all the cat supplies is. She was able to send us updates while we were gone, and even managed photos of our very shy kitties! We appreciate Heidi's flexibility and definitely recommend her.”

“Jessica did a wonderful job checking in on our cats while we were away for a few days. She's responsive, professional, and reliable. Our cat loved her company and we'll definitely work with her again!”

“Amelia was awesome (and available pretty last minute) to cat-sit our little guy. Super communicative, trustworthy, sweet, and attentive. Thank you so much, Amelia!”
