Cat Sitting San Marcos

About: All animals I care for are treated as my own. With hugs, kisses and scritches! Animals have always been such a huge love in my life! Reliable and last minute dog-sitting is my forte! Currently, I have relocated from rural Ohio to San Marcos. My schedule has full availability and flexibility. After relocating, I no longer have scheduled / regular homes. All animals will be respected by their own schedules, wants and needs. When they want to play, we play. Body language is a key factor in pet-sitting, it is important for me to gauge what the animals need while taking care of them.

“Jessenya was such a great sitter for our kitty! She did thorough and long check ins and gave us great updates. I would definitely recommend her!”

“Jewels did an amazing job with our two cats while we were away. We are always so stressed leaving our babys and she really put us at ease knowing they were getting tons of love. She sent us lots of photos throughout the trip and we could tell they were loving each other’s company. Jewels was really responsive during the trip and kept the house nice and tidy. We also very much appreciated during the meet and greet that she asked many questions and pet our cats right away. So happy we found an amazing sitter for the future ☺️”

About: I grew up with a dog and have helped with taking care of friends and neighbors dogs. I have experience with elderly dogs, and dogs of all ages and sizes. I currently do not have a job and am focusing on grad school, and would love to include pet care into my daily routine. As of now, I have open availability. I look forward to working with you to establish a plan of care. In your home, I will make sure to follow any guidelines put forth. I will be respectful of your home and wishes in caring for your pet.

“Ana not only did a thorough, careful, loving job of caring for my babies, she is also genuinely one of my new favorite humans. She checked off every item from the list and sent me lots of pictures, which I love. She was very communicative, on time, and detail-oriented in her work. I cannot express how much it meant to me to really be able to enjoy my trip because I was able to trust her back home. I will absolutely be hitting her again in the future.”

About: • I have over 15 years of experience caring for pets, with most of my hands on experience being with cats. Over the years, I’ve cared for my own pets, helped family and friends with their pets, and also fostered cats. This has helped me understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and comfort level. • I’m especially familiar with cats and their needs, including feeding, litter box cleaning, playtime, and creating a calm, safe, and loving environment. I always pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and try to make them feel secure and comfortable in my care. If needed, I can also help with basic care and grooming, as long as the cat feels comfortable and not stressed. • For boarding, I have a dedicated spare room in my home that is completely reserved for visiting cats, so they can have their own quiet and comfortable space. Owners are welcome to bring their cat’s favorite toys, cat tree, litter box, or other familiar items to help them feel more at home. • My goal is always to provide gentle, attentive care and make each pet feel safe, comfortable, and well looked after while their owner is away. My schedule is flexible, and I can make time throughout the week for pet care. I’m available for drop in visits, feeding, refreshing water, playtime, and giving pets calm companionship and attention. I can adjust to each pet’s routine and needs as much as possible, whether they prefer interaction, quiet company, or a little extra patience. I always try to be reliable, responsive, and consistent so your cat can feel comfortable and well cared for while you’re away. I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed in the environment. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully, keep the space clean and secure, and pay close attention to each cat’s behavior, mood, and needs. I’m patient and gentle, especially with shy, sensitive, or older pets, and I treat them with the same care and respect as my own.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for many many years not only my own dog but also many of my neighbors. Neighbors, friends, and family rely on me to walk, feed, and love their pets as my own. I’m experienced and ready to love your dog! I treat every animal with patience, consistency, and genuine affection. I’m currently a student at CSUSM so having any type of animal interaction would make my days so much brighter. Being away from home I am missing my daily walks with my own dog, so with my schedule I can do morning and afternoon walks as well as any overnight boarding! I live in a pet-friendly apartment complex with a secure dog park, perfect for playtime and exercise. Since I don’t have any pets of my own, your furry friend will get my full attention and care. I always keep a close eye on pets during walks and play to ensure they’re safe, happy, and comfortable in a calm, clean environment.

About: I have been caring for animals since I was eight years old—beginning with pet sitting for neighbors, friends, and family. I’ve brought home stray kittens and puppies and nursed them back to health and found them great homes (or kept them if I could). Those closest to me have always said I have a natural knack for connecting with animals: intuitively understanding what they need, noticing immediately if something feels slightly off, and providing the gentle reassurance to bring them comfort. That genuine love for pets is at the heart of everything I do. Whether your dog needs to burn off big zoomies on the trails or simply needs a calm, patient presence to feel secure while you are away, I provide a balanced, attentive environment where they feel completely at home. I’m currently taking online classes and have a flexible schedule to make caring for your pet a priority. I’m able to offer consistency and routine that your pet craves while you’re away. I have a fenced yard and currently have no pets. I offer continuous monitoring indoors and strictly on-leash safety during all outdoor excursions—your pet’s safety and individual focus always come first.

About: I’ve been around animals for most of my life and grew up with both cats and dogs. My family has always cared deeply about animals: we often helped stray cats and dogs, kept food and water in the car for animals we came across, and always tried to connect them with local volunteers or find them loving homes. My family has always had dogs, so feeding, walking, playing with them, and helping with their everyday care has been a normal part of my life. More recently, my boyfriend and I cared for our friends’ Pomeranian in our home for two weeks while they were traveling. We followed his usual routine, took him on walks, fed him, kept him clean and comfortable, and gave him lots of attention. With his owners’ permission, I even taught him a new command! Friends also trust me with their pets when they travel. I know every animal has their own personality, habits, and boundaries, and I’m happy to follow the routine that works best for yours. My schedule is flexible, so I can usually work around your pet’s normal routine. I’m available on both weekdays and weekends for drop-in visits, walks, and boarding in my home. Morning and evening visits, multiple visits a day, and longer stays can also be arranged. I always follow each pet’s usual routine and their owner’s instructions. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or mine, I make sure they’re fed, comfortable, safe, and getting the attention and activity they need. I’m patient with shy or cautious animals and never force interaction. I also understand that trusting someone with your pet and your home is a big deal, and I treat both with care and respect.

“Kathryn was awesome! I will only book her from now on. She cared for Mr Kitty as if he were her own. She has been the very best Rover yet!! She even vacuumed up my cat’s hair! OMG. Super caretaker! She is so sweet and caring. We LOVE her!! Thank you, Kathryn!!”

“We cannot recommend Sharon enough as she is diligent, dependable, kind, and has a wonderful way with animals. Our cat was very well cared for and we would not hesitate to book Sharon again for whenever we travel.”

About: Hi! My name is Devin, and I’m a dependable animal lover with over 10 years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and rabbits. Whether your pet needs a fun walk, overnight care, or someone to keep them company while you’re away, I’ll treat them like they’re one of my own. Over the past 10–11 years, I’ve cared for pets of all sizes and personalities from small breed dogs and cats to large dogs weighing up to 80 pounds. I’m comfortable with energetic pups, senior pets, shy animals, and multi-pet households. I understand that every pet has their own routine, personality, and needs, and I take the time to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. I’m an active person who genuinely enjoys getting outside with dogs. Whether it’s a leisurely neighborhood walk, an energetic run, or simply spending time exploring new sights and smells, I love helping pets stay physically and mentally engaged. In my free time, I often take my own pets to the beach to enjoy fresh air, socialization, and a little water play. Watching them have fun while staying active is one of my favorite parts of being a pet owner, and I’d love to provide that same level of care and enrichment for your pets. Your pet’s safety and happiness are always my top priorities. I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, affection, and consistent care while keeping you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands. I’m currently offering: * Dog walking * Drop-in visits * House sitting * Overnight pet care I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. As a pet owner myself, my days already revolve around feeding, walks, exercise, playtime, and making sure my pets are happy and healthy. I enjoy being active, so adding dog walks, drop-in visits, or overnight stays fits well into my schedule. I believe every pet deserves individual attention, consistency, and plenty of affection, and I make time to provide that level of care for every pet I look after. I always strive to keep pets on their normal routine so they feel comfortable and stress-free while you’re away. In your home, I’ll follow your instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and any household routines your pet is used to. I also make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection, along with regular photo and message updates so you know they’re doing well. For dogs, I’m happy to provide walks, play sessions, or even a run if that’s part of their normal routine. For cats, I take a patient approach and let them interact at their own pace while making sure they receive fresh food and water, a clean litter box, enrichment, and companionship. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while giving you peace of mind that they’re in good hands.

“Mimi went above and beyond caring for my sweet, super senior girl. She is very experienced and knowledgeable and noticed right away when something was off with my baby. She took her straight to the vet and her quick actions have given my baby the best chance to recover from a sudden medical emergency. She kept me updated on everything. She continues to check in and is just so sweet. I could not recommend Mimi enough!”

Rebecca N.

“Gabrielle put all my worries about leaving my kitty to rest. She was loving and sensitive to my concerns and posted daily progress reports and photos of my little darling. I am so grateful to have had her as my baby's caregiver and would definitely ask for her again.”
