Cat Sitting Strawberry

“Lauren was a pleasure. I have two cats and she was comfortable around them. Lauren is friendly and handled the care of my cats exactly like I asked. She was timely and sent pictures. She asked questions so she was clear in what I needed and she made sure everything was tidy when her cat sitting came to a close. I recommend her and will use her next time. Thank you Lauren.”

About: Dogs are the light of my life! I've given forever homes to 7 German Shepherds, 2 Poodles and 4 Mixes. I've had extensive experience caring for them through various illnesses & am very knowledgeable about both their physical and emotional needs. I trained all of them myself with modernizing the methods as the practices changed over time. In High School I worked for a veterinary clinic washing dogs and administering vaccines as well as meds. I was a teacher for 20 years and am super resourceful. I've always had dogs. For me, life would be empty without them, and I'm one of these crazy people who would do absolutely anything to meet their needs!! You can definitely trust that I'll do everything to give your dog the best!! I LOVE DOGS & CATS!! Not to mention horses, ponies and rabbits! I love to house sit and spend my time with any wonderful canine or animal! They'll be given the absolute best of care and companionship when I'm there 24/7 the rest of the week! I'm a retired teacher of 20 years, in great physical condition, and want to do this full time. I LOVE DOGS AND CATS!! I've always worked in the helping professions as a teacher and behavioral case manager for the homeless. Now I want to do what means the most to me....spend my time with animals and give them the best experience possible!! Number 1, follow the directions of the client relative to their animals. Number 2, be respectful of their environment. Number 3, do all the extras possible for the animals including companionship. Number 4, leave the house as nice as it was on my arrival date.

“Laura diligently took care of our cats, adhering to their feeding schedule and also spending an abundant amount of time playing with them & giving them attention. Very communicative also. Thanks so much!”

“Loved having Jennifer watch over my fur-baby. She was easy to communicate with, very responsive to the main needs I was concerned with, very reliable. From the minute she met Cleo, I felt comfortable having her there and it was one of the first times in years that I felt comfortable being away for a vacation. It felt like I was leaving my home and cat with a good friend. I couldn't recommend her more!”

About: Hi! I've had pets my whole life, up until moving to SF and I know how to love and care for pets big and small! I have experience walking and watching cats, dogs, small mammals, and reptiles. I've walked dogs as large as a German Shepherd and as tiny as a Chihuahua. I am often complimented that the pups I take on walks come back looking relaxed, happy, and if they're young they come back listening to commands better. I work with dogs on pulling and use mindful energetic reinforcement to work on any bad habits the pet parent wants support with. : ) If you’re interested in boarding a pet, I have a gentle golden retriever and a Siamese cat who basically thinks he’s a dog. They are both friendly with any animal. Your pet will have some friends to play with! If they’re not in a playful mood my home is large enough to create separation. I work fully remote and often find myself with a lot of free time in the day. So what else would be a nice treat than to care for an animal! For dog sitting care that is done in the pet parent home I ensure that I understand and follow any instructions you have for arrival, food, water, crating, and locking up. For day care (no overnight) I have my own personal office in downtown. If the pet isn't super hyper active they can stay with me in my office and I can take them out for walks periodically throughout the day along Embarcadero. For boarding I have my home in the East Bay with a dog run on the side, a fenced in backyard with grass. There are dog parks and walking trails 5-10 minute drive from the house.

About: I have watched animals for neighbors since I was a teenager with multiple families for 20+ years! I am here for you and your pets needs!! Our pets are just as much of our family and need all the love. I look forward to helping you and your pet! I am currently available to work my schedule around you and your pets schedule. Whether it be going for a walk, bathing them, or over night care - I am your person! I grew up in Marin and know great hiking trails and paths to walk your animals. With cats - I am well versed in understanding their body language and daily routine! I look forward to meeting your pet and helping any way I can! At a clients home I will follow instructions for what works for that family, pet and home life. I am very trust worthy and have been working, watching and staying at people’s homes for 20+ years. I look forward to meeting your pet and keeping them safe and happy!!

“Tara was great with my kitties. She was easy to contact, very responsive, and very flexible with regard to scheduling and duties. Thanks, Tara!”

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and care for all sizes and personalities! I offer walking, sitting, playtime, and can safely give medications. Whether your dog needs active exercise, calm companionship, or special care, I’ll treat them like one of my own — with love, patience, and attention to detail. I'm available for pet sitting and care Wednesday through Saturday mornings, with some flexibility depending on your pet’s needs. I’m happy to do early visits, medication administration, and check-ins during those morning hours. Please feel free to reach out with your schedule — I’ll do my best to accommodate! When caring for pets in your home, I focus on keeping their routine as familiar and stress-free as possible. I follow your instructions closely for feeding, medication, playtime, and any special needs — including administering medications or subcutaneous fluids. I respect your space, keep things tidy, and always prioritize your pet’s comfort and well-being. Whether your dog or cat wants quiet companionship or active play, I’m there to give them gentle, reliable care while you’re away.

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life, and caring for them comes naturally to me. I have years of hands-on experience as a lifelong dog owner, and dogs seem to connect with my calm, positive energy. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or simply providing companionship, I’ll make sure your dog feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away Im currently looking for as many opportunities as possible as my schedule has opened up. Currently im taking same day booking but I am open to consistent weekly work. I first ask what is expected of me , and going from there. In the past I’ve taken care of dogs in kennels, fenced off, indoor, and anyway the owner sees fit ensuring the safety of the pet ❤️

About: Throughout high school, I would help dog-sit for family friends. I was very reliable and able to help feed, walk, and play with their animals. I also cared for coworkers' animals when they were gone for vacation, and I was entrusted with keeping their living space clean. Growing up, I had four large dogs: 2 labs and 2 boxer mixes. I work as a vet assistant, so I have hands-on experience when it comes to administering medication. I currently work part-time as a vet assistant, so I have a lot of free time on the days I don't go in, giving me plenty of time to care for your fur babies. I'm available most days throughout the week; just reach out! I like to go in and make it seem like I was never there. Simply do what is asked of me and leave without causing any disturbance. When it comes to the fur babies, I like to care for them as if they are my own and treat them like my own pets. I'm more than happy to help tidy up any place as well.

“Melina was super responsive to messaging and most importantly took excellent care of my two cats, Inca and Maya.”

About: Hello, I’m currently studying to become a veterinarian. Since I was a kid, I’ve always been surrounded by cats, dogs, and even birds. I do not shy away from any animal and feel a connection between them and nature. I understand the patience, time, and love a pet requires. I treat all pets with the same care and love as my own. I love going on walks, especially in a forested area. I love going on hikes, I believe reconnecting with nature is important for not only myself, but pets as well. I’ve always cared for animals, as of now I have pet birds. Basically my entire life I’ve cared for animals. Once I started to care for them professionally, my world opened up to so many new learning possibilities. Working with elderly pets and puppies, mature pets… it’s just such a learning process and it’s beautiful to be able to connect to them in such a meaningful way. I have worked in a pet resort, and as a beekeeper. This has solidified my confidence and trust within myself to care for your pet personally. I deal with hundreds of dogs, cats, and clients everyday working at the pet resort. I’m working part-time at the moment, I do have a flexible schedule. The only days where I am definitely not available are on Tuesdays and Thursdays. As always, I will be open to flexibility when available. I care for all pets with care and love. I understand no pet is equal, they all have their own personalities which means you need to find what works for each. This takes patience, but it is completely worth it. I make sure your pets are safe in their surrounding. This means against dangerous items they may be tempted to go near, etc. Your pets’ safety is my priority.

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life and truly can’t imagine a home without them. I have hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, horses, reptiles, birds, fish (both saltwater and freshwater), and small mammals as I’ve had all of them as pets or taken care of my friend's. As a teenager, I worked at a local kennel, gaining valuable experience with feeding routines, cleaning, and handling animals of all temperaments. I’ve also trained my own dogs, earning several first-place ribbons in competitions. I’m attentive, patient, and genuinely passionate about animal care—whether it’s a walk around the block or providing loving companionship while you’re away! I am also experienced in giving subcutaneous fluids and administering all kinds of medications from shots to pills I currently work weekdays from 2-8:30pm along with some weekends, but weekends I am off by 3pm. I also have periods of time where I don’t work for a couple of weeks here and there. I can come morning, afternoon, and night any day I am willing to bring a small animal into my home as long as they are ok with another large dog and small cat who are very friendly. I do not have a yard, but walks are given multiple times a day and I have a decent sized 2 story townhome with dog parks and turn outs close by. If I am to go to your home, I can do anything and everything. I have experience with giving fluids to cats and dogs for health issues and administering all kinds of medication

About: Alison Certified: Understanding Pet Sitting and Dog Walking Business I have cared for many types of animals over the years. I go out of my way to help stray and adopted animals. I have helped friends and family over the years, with bottle feedings, walks, bathing, grooming, and medications. I have a very nice dog park across the street. I can take your dog there if you would like. I also am with Axen Realty outside of pet sitting for any real estate needs. ¡Hablo español también! Soy bilingüe y si podemos comunicarnos en español. Hablar en español de las mascotas está bien conmigo. Im available to care for your pet any day of the week. I have a open schedule for the following weeks. I can work with your schedule and if you need an overnight stay I can help with cleaning duties. I will send you pictures during the visit to ensure you that your pet is completely safe. Safety and happiness are of the upmost importance to me. Let me know what extra security measures that your special fur baby will need while you are away.

About: I am a very responsible dog owner who would love to take care of your pet! My dog (Milo) is a 8 year old Goldendoodle and loves playing with other dogs. I take my dog on daily walks and enjoy playing fetch with him. I work in Tiburon Tuesday through Thursday but have a flexible lunch that I can use for drop in visits. I have 2 separate places in my house that your dog would feel comfortable, either in a carpeted room or hardwood floors. My dog loves going back and forth between these two areas

“Rebecca stopped in on our dog Hobbes and sent great updates and ensured he had the breaks and enrichment he needed. Thanks Rebecca!”

Taylor J.

“Nicest, sweetest person I've met and great with dogs. She provided great updates and came home to two relaxed, happy dogs. I'd would highly recommend her services, and looking forward to booking her again.”

About: My animal care experience started with my first dog foster at 18. In the past 18 years I have worked as a zookeeper before transitioning to Veterinary Medicine. I was a kennel tech, then Veterinary Assistant before earning my Registered Veterinary Technician License. My skills include dog walking, cat socializing, administering medications (oral, transdermal, injectable), nail trimming and positive reinforcement. I also have experience performing health exams, giving vaccinations, surgery prep and monitoring anesthesia. Over the years I have been a reliable dog walker, cat and house sitter for friends and family, as needed. At home I have a senior black chihuahua and senior black cat. I understand the need for wanting your pets to have the best care while you’re away. I am here to help take care of that for you. I’m currently working as an RVT working 10-hour shifts. Outside of my day job, I plan to be there to provide dog walking, cat sitting and house sitting as my free time allows. In your home, I will provide the type of care that you request. Whether that is dropping in and feeding your animal or taking your dog for a nice, long, stimulating walk, I aim to make it comfortable and enjoyable for your pet.

About: I have volunteered at Humane Societies with all kinds of pets because animals are my passion, and have had pets for almost 30 years. I currently have had a wonderful cat named Latte for 6 years and I couldn't live without her. I am available during the day to walk your dog or take it to play at a dog park, or check in on your cat and give it plenty of love, food, and attention. I make sure the pets I look after are cared for like my own, and their safety, comfort, and security are a top concern of mine.

“I had Emily catsit my two cats last weekend and the experience was wonderful. I was nervous about leaving my young kitten especially, but Emily made sure to send me many videos, pictures and updates, which were all very reassuring. Thank you Emily for taking such good care of my kitties - would not hesitate to book again!”
