Cat Sitting Sugarfield

“Emily was great with our cat, she gave great care and lots of updates while we were gone. We’d absolutely have Emily pet sit again”

About: I’m a UC Davis PhD candidate who has experience with shy, senior, and special-needs pets. Every visit includes play, cuddles, and attentive care (not just feeding and leaving). I always send photo updates and can administer medications as needed. Fun fact: I once gave medication to a pelican! ❤️😸🐶❤️ I understand that every pet has individual needs, and I am especially mindful of each animal’s comfort level, particularly when it comes to administering medication. I have completed formal pet first aid training, including bleeding control and emergency response basics. I also have formal training in dog grooming and hold a certificate from a 30-hour grooming course. My grooming experience centers on safe, low-stress, in-home care for pets who are comfortable with gentle handling. I focus on animal comfort, clear communication, and following owner instructions rather than salon-style grooming. I offer basic grooming services such as bathing, brushing, light deshedding, and general hygiene support, using owner-provided supplies. I do not offer haircuts, breed-specific styling, shaving, or heavy dematting. My approach prioritizes the pet’s well-being at all times, and I will pause or stop a grooming session if a pet shows signs of stress. In addition to caring for household pets, I have also volunteered at WildCare, a wildlife rehabilitation center in San Rafael. That experience required extreme attention to dietary detail, safety protocols, and thorough documentation since the animals' care plans were highly specific and needed to be followed precisely. I learned the importance of carefully monitoring health, behavior, and intake, maintaining accurate records, and communicating clearly to ensure continuity of care across caregivers. This is where my fun fact comes from: I even helped administer foot and oral medication to a pelican! As someone who has grown up with multiple pets, I’m especially mindful of multi-pet households. I keep additional-pet rates reasonable so that families with multiple pets can receive attentive, consistent care without feeling penalized for having more than one animal. When it comes to pets, the more the merrier! I teach classes eight hours per week, but my schedule is very flexible outside of my teaching times. I live by my calendar and plan pet care commitments carefully, and I’m always happy to accommodate pet parents’ scheduling needs whenever possible. This allows me to reliably offer drop-in visits and walks throughout the day, including mid-day check-ins, evenings, and weekends. For house sitting, I follow industry-standard expectations where pets are typically comfortable being left alone for 6–8 hours during the day. This allows me to maintain my responsibilities at UC Davis and a normal daily routine. Requests for pets that cannot be left alone for at least 6 hours typically fall into near-constant care and will require adjusted rates due to the substantial time commitment. I treat each client’s home and pet care routine with care, respect, and attention to detail. I am a homeowner myself, so I understand the importance of treating each person's house as though it were my own. I’m careful to secure doors and gates, return keys properly, clean up after visits, and leave the home exactly as I found it so that pet parents can enjoy their time away without added worry. I am attentive to every pet’s comfort level, especially when administering medication or working with shy or cautious animals. I provide clear visit updates and photos so there are no surprises, and owners know exactly how each visit went.

About: I have hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats, from energetic puppies to senior pets who require extra patience and gentle care. I’m comfortable keeping up with feeding routines, facilitating playtime, going on long walks, and even administering medications when needed. My priority is making sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved while their family is away. I would love the opportunity to meet your furry friend and provide them with the care they deserve! Mornings: Walks, Feeding, litter box care, morning playtime and medication care. Afternoons: cuddle and enrichment time Evenings: Walks, feeding, medication care, and bed time routines, I provide reliable, compassionate care for pets right in the comfort of their own homes. Services include drop-in visits, walks, feeding, litter box care, and administering medications when needed. I prioritize keeping pets on their regular routines, providing attention and playtime, and ensuring they feel safe and comfortable while their family is away. Owners can trust that I’ll treat their home and pets with respect, providing updates and peace of mind every step of the way.

“Kathleen's Rover Cards were super descriptive and informative. She posted 5+ photos every time. She went above and beyond but cleaning up after the cat pukes and taking out the litter on the last day. She's really thorough with communicating and asked about our vet contacts and gave me recommendations (we just moved here) during the meet and greet. We will book her again and always have our fingers crossed that she's available!”

“Lillian has taken care of my kitties a few times now and does a nice job of keeping them happy. She also lets me know daily that they are doing well.”

Susan F.

“She is very nice and has a good response time to messages. I felt very safe leaving my two kitties with her and we got plenty of photos and updates.”

Madeline G.

“Chelsea took great care of my cat while I was out of town for the holidays. She gave cute updates and tons of photos of my cat having a great time. She even added a day at the end of trip when my flight got delayed. I came home to a happy and healthy cat. Will book again.”

Rebecca D.

“Julissa and her husband did a wonderful job looking after our Misty when we were out of town for one week. We scheduled to have them drop in on her in our back yard and the weather got really hot while we were away. They paid her an extra visit to make sure she was taken care of and were able to arrange a solution to keep her inside and out of the heat. They’re kind, excellent with communication and genuinely cared for our dog. We can’t wait to hire them again.”

About: I grew up with pets most of my life, and attended dog training classes with my mom starting at a young age. I have had my own pets the last 13 years (dogs, cat and bunny). I have trained and titled one of my dogs in AKC Rally and Waterworks ( something specific to my dogs breed), she is also a grand champion. I would be willing to help train puppies, even though I am not a certified trainer. I can also assist in training to loose leash walk, crate training, etc. Willing to do limited bathing and grooming for an additional fee, to be determined upon request, detailed request needed. I have been grooming my Portuguese water dogs most of my adult life, I have had to maintain a show quality coat. I'm not a professional groomer, but I know my way around clippers and scissors. I was recently laid off, so I have plenty of time to play with your pups. I am available pretty much anytime currently, weekdays and weekends. I treat all animals in my care as my own, with respect and love, whether they need a play buddy or just someone to cuddle, I try to give them what they need

“Steven is a wonderful kitty sitter! He always communicated when he was on his way to come feed, water and play with both our cats. He ensured that they got a good amount of play with their favorite toys (strings on sticks of course) and even got our old man to play a little more than he normally does. When we got back home, the cats seemed relaxed and content with Stevens care also! No one seem frazzled and they loved him too. He always sent us fun photos of them eating and playing. We really appreciate his effort and commitment to care for our kitties! Thank you Steven! We hope to work with you again!”

About: I grew up around animals. I love having pets and have taken care of a lot of them growing up. I have had dogs, cats, bunnies, hamsters, fishes, chicks and more. I love spending time with all pets! Pet care is something I do everyday. In the mornings, I take my dogs out for a walk and then another walk free I get back from work. I clean out my cat’s litter weekly and clean their food and waters bowls everyday. When it comes to taking care of your pet, I have full availability this summer! I can work mornings, do drop-ins and house sits if needed. I have a large backyard that can be used for playtime and a large crate if needed. I also have different types of toys and treats for both cats and dogs. I have spare leashes if needed, and of course quality time with your fur babies! When walking your pets, I’ll make sure of having everything they need such as their leash, collar, shoes, and a small water bowl for hot days. If they go to the park, I’ll bring their toys and play with them until it’s time to go.

About: I keep up to date on tips and tricks for dog care! I used to work for Bark Magazine, as well as a pet sitting company based in Davis. I have experience dog sitting all sizes of dog (from Chihuahuas to Danes!) as well as cats! I have experience sitting pups training to become well-behaved and responsible dogs. (behavior, potty, etc.) Message me and we can make sure your fur family is well taken care of! I am working full-time at the moment, so I am available most days during/around midday. I am good to work around your schedule if you have work during the day as well! If the ground/cement it too hot for walks I'll try to get dogs to play or run around in whatever area is available (backyard/larger living space). I usually like to take them to parks, when the weather is nice. I’ve always taken care of pets, whether for my family, neighbors, or clients! I often like taking walks during lunch so walking or visiting pets during that time is very normal for me. I love to use what is available to me! If you have a small yard or a nice walkway near your home, I’ll make the most of it. Same goes for cats, a good toy basket or a nice place to find them is always helpful!

About: I have always had a passion for animals and it seems they’ve always been drawn to me! Growing up my mom owned a small pet sitting business. We took care of dogs, cats, birds, even an entire farm. Over the years of helping my mom and pet sitting on my own, I’ve gained plenty of knowledge and patience for all furry friends! I have my own small business as a licensed esthetician, so whenever I don’t have clients scheduled, I am totally free to play with your pets! I have a 1 bedroom apartment with a small yard that has public access. I live with my 3.5 year old male cat, but he is very tolerant of dogs! Pet friendly space for your furring friends to visit!

About: Although I currently do not have a dog of my own, I have had dogs in my family since I was 8 years old and have learned that they can have the best and funniest personalities and I love making a dog feel welcome anywhere and that they always know that somebody cares for them the way they care for their owner. I’ve been pet sitting for over 3 years and currently have a cat so i know how to take care of them as well in case you have both cats and dogs! I’m currently attending Woodland Community College and am a associates graduate of the Academy of Art University in San Francisco. Since I only go to school and am trying to work remotely, I’ll have plenty of time for your pets and most if not all afternoons of the week can walk them. I constantly make sure my pets are okay with what they’re eating, drinking, how they act, if it’s unusual or usual and take a pet’s physical and mental health very seriously as I’ve had to put down many of my family’s own dogs in the past when they became ill and know the emotional toll it can be for the owners.
