Cat Sitting Selby

About: I believe every animal deserves patience and love. They tell you what they need when you know what to look for and give them the opportunity to express themselves. I grew up with many pets and have experience caring for all kinds of dogs and cats. I have cared for puppies, senior animals, and everything in between. I'm currently exclusively a pet-sitter and have no pets of my own, so I can give my undivided attention to your animals. When I start part-time classes Monday-Thursday in the fall, I will still be available after class and over the weekends. I maintain a calm environment and provide exercise, play time, and cuddles for every pet. I love walking dogs around their neighborhoods and taking them to the park or the beach. I follow feeding schedules and other care instructions and have experience with crate-training and separation anxiety.

“Alysa has been great! Our kitty is always well taken care of and enjoys playing with Alysa.”

About: I've had multiple pets all my life and seen many into old age, when they need special care. I'm not just looking for the perfect rpretty pet, but I want you to feel confident and at ease with the care and love I will give your furry family member I'm retired so can give full time care to your pet. My yard is large and fully fenced in. the house is pet friendly as well. I am retired so mostly home but do go out occasionally for shopping and other daily activities. I would prefer to crate your dog for my out periods. Also your dogs should be house broken, I will take them out as often as needed for bathroom breaks I will treat all your pets as if they were my own, and hope we can build a long and trusting relationship with each other. If they like pets, cuddles and treats, that's even better!

“Samiah did a wonderful job taking care of Snow. She was very attentive, reliable, and kept us updated during our time away. We came home to a happy, well cared for dog and a clean home, which gave us great peace of mind. We’re very thankful for all her help and would gladly book with her again. Highly recommend! 🐶💕”

“Nicoletta has been a fantastic help with our 2 pups and cat! With one pup being very shy and not comfortable having a leash put on, Nicoletta has come and played with them in the yard, fed them, and gave lots of love while we were at work. We are very grateful for her patience with our furry critters!”

“Erin take wonderful care of my two pups! She takes my schnauzer for walks and takes my little old Shih Tzu out to potty and administers her mid day eye drops. She is always on time and provides great updates!”

About: I have had pets all my life and have a special way with many animals. From tiring out restless pups through play so they can settle in their doghouses, to gaining the trust of the sassiest cats, my patience and kindness towards all animals has gained me the favor of friends and family to care for their pets. I am currently a full time student, so my availability throughout the week can vary. Despite this I find myself to have my afternoons and evenings mostly free. Additionally, my weekends will be free most weeks. In a cliients home, I would do my best to respect the environment and the pets space. Not surprising the pet or adjusting things from their usual place, like food or water bowls, to show I am not here to change pet routines but just to help them along. Additionally, gaining trust on walks and setting firm boundaries with the pet to keep myself and the pet safe when out and about.

“Adam took care of our two cats while we were on vacation. He sent us updates everyday, and looked to have genuinely bonded with out cats. We will definitely book him again!!”

About: Animals have always been part of my life, and looking after them is something I genuinely enjoy. I have been pet sitting for many years, for friends and family, and I treat every pet like one of my own. I look after cats, dogs, puppies, senior pets birds, lizards, and small animals and offer drop-in visits, and dog walking in Benicia. I will keep you updated with photos and messages throughout, and I will stick to your pet's routine. I have cared for animals my whole life whether it be my own or for others. My volunteer work at the humane society, Suisun Wildlife Center, and International Bird Rescue has strengthened my passion of caring for pets. I would love to meet you and your pet before the first booking. I am newly retired and have a very flexible schedule. My availability will work around caring for my own fur babies. I live near a neighborhood park which I use for dog walking. I will be sure to understand your pet's individual needs and routine. I will do everything I can to foster a fun and enriching experience for your fur baby.

“Merlette is a natural! My cats adored her instantly, and she was very fastidious in providing her service. 10 out of 10 will rebook again. Highly recommended!”

About: I’ve been in the veterinary field for 3+ years and have worked in general practice with cats and dogs. I have experience with working with nervous pets and pets with special needs ! Please reach out if any questions! I currently have Wednesday and weekend available while I work my full time job. Weekend walks and drop ins are already something my dog and I enjoy. I have worked in a fear free practice that allows pets to be them selves without stressing them out! I make sure that pets are comfortable and take the breaks they need or play when they’ve indicated they are ready for play time.

“FANTASTIC. Deborah is a total pro and exceeded our expectations in every way. We recently took a 7 day trip (the longest we’ve ever been away from our shy little cat) and feel so lucky that we found Deborah. Our cat usually is very nervous around new people, but took right to her and they were snuggling in no time. Loved getting the photos each day and it gave us peace of mind knowing our kitty was in such capable hands. 10/10!!”

“Rachael was excellent. So patient with our two cats. One of the brothers can be very shy but she was able to get a picture of him. lol. I will be calling her again!”

Richard S.

“Val was amazing! She did drop in visits for my dogs for about five days. On each visit she took pictures and updated me on the status of my dogs. I could see on their faces that they were having fun with Val. She even bought them some toys to play with. She was very attentive and responsible.”

About: I have taken care of pets for over 10 years around the world! Neighbors, friends, families and acquaintances have all trusted me with the livelihoods of their loved ones. I can administer medication, go on as many walks as needed, drive or walk to the dog park or just cuddle on the sofa if you pet loves that too! I work as a school teacher and am an online grad student but am able to come and go as I please so my schedule is quite flexible! I am very mindful of your pets care, safety and security while they are in my trust. I can crate your pet, calm them down and care for them as per your instruction.

“Jasmin was absolutely fabulous with our two dogs! She gave great care and kept us updated the whole time while away. Will absolutely use again in the future!!!”
