Cat Sitting San Mateo

“Irina was extremely attentive to my boys' needs, going above and beyond with giving them treats, playing with them, cleaning their litter box, and sending plenty of updates while I was away on a trip. I had only asked her to keep the boys well fed and ensure their safety, but clearly, my cats had a great time with her around! I recommend Irina to any pet parent in need of care for their beloved pets”

“Lizbeth did a great job checking in on our cat, and was super communicative. She followed all instructions and left the place clean. Would book her again in the future!”

“Gina was great with my cat who warmed up really quickly to her. She is very friendly and has the patience to allow pets to get familiar with her. She made sure my cat was getting the care and playtime needed during the 4 days we were out of state. I highly recommend booking with her to watch your pets.”

About: I have taken care of cats of all sizes from 1 day old kittens to 2-3 years old cats (both neutered, spayed or unneutered, unspayed). I am familiar with their nature. I also walk my friend’s dogs on a regular basis. I am currently working full time. However my evenings after 5 are free. My weekends are most of the time free which means I am open for house sitter as well I have taken care of dogs by taking them for a walk or play fetching with them. For cats, I usually drop by to check if the feeder is working, clean the water fountain or bowl and refill with fresh water, clean their litter box, play with them, etc.

About: I love spending time with both cats and dogs, but I’m unfortunately unable to get my own, so I have the opportunity and time to help others take care of theirs when needed. Win-win situation if you ask me! I have experience caring for both dogs and cats, and have been trusted by friends, neighbors, and family to walk, feed, bathe, and look after their pets. I’m comfortable with different breeds, and routines, and I prioritize safety, consistency, and attentive care. If you have any questions or would like to book my services, just reach out! I’m currently working full-time, but my weekends are usually open, so would love to fill it with some furry love! I’m available for home visits, walks or other services needed from Friday-Sunday or whenever my calendar is marked available. I have a one bedroom apartment with a open grass space right outside. I also can do home-visits. My focus will always be the safety of the animal, try to maintain their regular routine, and make sure they get all the attention and love they deserve.

“Tricia came through for a last minute booking. Nala really enjoys it when Tricia comes over as you can see her reactions on the outdoor cameras, and Tricia sends great photos to show how her time with Nala (better than most of the ones I catch).”

About: I have 3+ years of hands-on experience caring for my two cats, and I regularly look after a friend’s Shiba Inu for about a month each year. I’m a native Mandarin Chinese speaker and fluent in English. 欢迎全程使用中文沟通，包括见面了解、照护说明和每次服务后的照片与情况更新。 I’m comfortable with feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, walks, playtime, and following detailed care routines. Living with a shy cat has taught me to be patient, read pets’ body language, and let them approach at their own pace. I pay close attention to changes in appetite, energy, behavior, and litter box habits. I’ll also provide clear photo updates so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I currently have a flexible schedule and can provide drop-in visits and dog walks on weekdays and weekends, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I limit my daily bookings so I can arrive on time, follow each pet’s routine carefully, and give every pet my full attention. I keep my Rover calendar updated and appreciate at least one day’s notice from new clients so we have time to confirm care instructions and arrange a Meet & Greet when needed. I care for pets in the comfort of their own home and follow each owner’s instructions closely. Before the first booking, I prefer a Meet & Greet to review feeding, water, litter boxes, walking routines, home access, emergency contacts, and any health or behavioral needs. During every visit, I make sure doors and gates are secure, keep dogs leashed outdoors, avoid interactions with unfamiliar animals, and respect your home. I also send photos and detailed updates about your pet’s food, water, bathroom habits, energy, and behavior.

“Claudia was amazing! She sent us detailed checklists after each visit and lots of cute videos! Our cat loved her right away which tells us everything we need to know 😊 We will definitely be reaching out to Claudia again the next time we need a cat sitter!”

About: I’ve been taking care of animals for 20+ years. I grew up with a cat and 2 dogs, rode horses, volunteered at animal shelters, and we currently have 2 tuxedo kitties. I have been volunteering with local animals shelters for the past 10+ years; mainly dogs, cats, and small animals. I usually opt to support pet care (feeding, kennel cleaning, walks) and recently I have been supporting surgeries (spays, neuter, etc). From all of my experiences, I’ve found that patience, respect, and kindess are the pillars to good interactions with animals. The most important thing to me will always be the well-being of your pet. Happy to help out fellow pet parents through Rover! Cheers, Marissa I’m currently between jobs (biotech in the bay) and am happy to add some structure to my days with pet care. I’m available weekdays for visits, walks, and care. Not able to do boarding or home sits at this time. I will respect your space as if it was my own; no shoes in the house, leave things cleaner than you found it, pet-safety conscientious (ex food risks). When visiting your pets they’ll have my undivided attention and you have my promise to thoroughly review any instructions; big or small.

“Jasmine went above and beyond with my two cats. One of them is pretty new so they still are separated by a gate in the middle of the hallway and she was careful to make sure to maintain that while I was gone. I also requested extra pictures because I miss them when I am not around and she definitely came through with a lot of pictures and videos which I appreciated so much! I will definitely rebook her if she is available when I am out of town again!”

“★★★★★ Exceptional Care - Ruby Went Above and Beyond! I can’t recommend Ruby highly enough! She took care of my two cats, Cashmere and Kitty Kat Dinsky, for two weeks while I was away, and honestly, I couldn’t have asked for better care. Ruby was incredibly communicative throughout the entire time - I received tons of photos and regular progress reports that gave me complete peace of mind while I was traveling. She didn’t just go through the motions; she genuinely gave my cats the attention and care they needed. It was clear she wasn’t just checking boxes but actually connecting with them and making sure they were happy and comfortable. Coming home to two content, well-cared-for cats (and a clean space!) was such a relief. If you’re looking for someone reliable, attentive, and truly caring, Ruby is your person. I’ll absolutely be booking her again for future trips!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​”

About: Hi there! I’m Viola, and to put it simply: I just love dogs. To me, there is nothing better than the greeting you get at the door or seeing a big stretch after a good nap. I’ve spent the last 10 years surrounded by pets, and I’ve learned that every single one has a unique personality that deserves to be celebrated. Whether your pup is a professional snuggler or a high-energy ball-chaser, I’m here to make sure they feel safe and loved while you’re away. I know how stressful it can be to leave your best friend behind, but because I’ve been doing this for a decade, I’ve seen it all. I don’t just "watch" pets; I truly bond with them. To give you total peace of mind, I am very comfortable administering oral medications if your pup has a specific health routine. Safety is always my priority, and I’ve developed a sharp eye for dog body language over the years. This helps me recognize if a pet is feeling a little down or stressed so I can provide the extra comfort or space they need. You can also expect me to be your personal "pupparazzi". You’ll receive regular updates and cute snapshots so you can see exactly how much fun we’re having. From long walks and vigorous playtime to quiet evening cuddles, your pet’s schedule will stay exactly as it should be. I’m reliable, punctual, and most importantly, I’ll treat your dog like a member of my own family. My partner and I both have a decade of experience with animals and very flexible work schedules. While pets will be left alone for short periods during the day, these stretches are never long. We prioritize exercise and bathroom breaks before any time away to ensure your pet is comfortable. We are fully available on weekends and holidays, and we are happy to adjust our daily flow to match your pet's specific needs and energy levels. Whether I’m visiting your home or hosting at mine, safety is my top priority. My apartment complex features a fully fenced dog play area, which is perfect for secure exercise and fresh air. For care in your home, I offer drop-in visits, long walks, and feeding. I am also available for overnight stays and can remain at your home during the weekday if your pup requires constant supervision or medical attention. I am highly observant of dog body language and can quickly recognize signs of stress or illness. You can expect frequent photo updates and clear communication throughout the stay. I treat every home with respect and every pet with the attention they deserve, ensuring they stay on their routine, receive their medications on time, and remain happy and healthy while you are away.

“Our cat has some special medication needs, and I was nervous to leave her with a new person. Angie handled it all super well; she even found us a better way to prepare the medication! Our cat was very content when we came back home, which is a rare vote of confidence. I highly recommend Angie.”

“Adele was reliable and easy to work with. My two kitties seemed to love her, including one who is very shy and usually hides from strangers.”

About: I grew up with labs and lab mixes. I have trained dogs previously. I spent several years volunteering with Guide Dogs for the Blind. Animals have always been very comfortable with me. I am currently looking for work, so I have a flexible schedule. I am able to be available as needed. I understand people's lives are busy, so I try to be flexible for the dog/cat's needs. I respect their home. I treat their home as if it's my own. I respect their fur baby's space. I would never harm an animal, especially one that's part of the family.

About: Animals have always been at the heart of both my life and my work. As a trained veterinarian with experience in both small and large animal care, I bring knowledge, gentleness, and genuine warmth to every dog I care for. I grew up with two dogs in a home that truly loved animals, and my dad is also a great animal lover, which made compassion for pets a natural part of my upbringing. I have looked after a dog named Timber while living with my host family, and I have also taken my friends’ dogs on walks. Together, these experiences have shaped a thoughtful, dependable, and affectionate approach to both dog sitting and walking. My goal is to make each dog feel safe, understood, and loved, while giving owners peace of mind. Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy and make time for in my routine. I aim to be attentive, dependable, and caring with each dog. If you let me know ahead of time, I am happy to see what flexibility may be possible. Trust and safety are at the heart of how I care for animals. As a trained veterinarian, I bring both knowledge and a calm, observant approach to every dog I look after. I pay attention to each dog’s comfort, behavior, energy, and routine, and I believe in creating an environment where they feel secure, respected, and genuinely at ease. In a client’s home, I will care for your dog thoughtfully and responsibly, with warmth, patience, and close attention to detail.

“Spencer is caring and kind dog sitter. We absolutely happy with how he handled drop-in visits and took care of our dog Bumi. Communication was smooth and he went extra mile to meet Bumi before the drop-in days. Thank you!”

About: I love spending time with animals and treat every pet like they're part of my own family. I know every pet has their own personality and routine, so I take the time to make them feel comfortable, happy, and cared for while you're away. Whether it's walks, playtime, cuddles, or just keeping them company, I'll make sure they get plenty of attention and love. My goal is for you to feel confident knowing your pet is safe, happy, and in good hands. I have had dogs and cats my entire life. I can administer oral and subcutaneous medications. I am happy to provide references from former Gilead and Genentech colleagues as well as neighbors. My best friend’s brother is a police detective who knows me well. I graduated with a BA from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, then went on and completed my MBA at Cornell University. I stopped working recently, so I have plenty of time to devote and dedicate to pet sitting. I am available mornings, afternoons and nights, depending on what you and your pet’s schedule requires. Please note I do not offer boarding or pet care services in my own home. I have 2 cats who need to be the only animals in the house.

“Our Dog loves Aime! She is very reliable and communicative. She's walked our pup a couple times a week and we are so happy to have found her. She is kind, loving and takes extra good care of Manti Carlo.”
