Cat Sitting in Tamalpais Valley

“Anjali is amazing. She is prompt, detailed, and very communicative. She let me know exactly what was going on with each kitty, and most importantly, they love her. One of my cats is slow to warm up to people, and he took to Anjali after just a couple of days. I'm so grateful!”

“Alicia (and her daughters) took a good care about our kitty; provided her with so much needed attention and company, while we were away! And she also brought our deliveries inside and stacked them neatly! Very grateful and looking forward to turn to Alicia again in future.”

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: Howdy I’m Serena! I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember, and caring for them has always been a natural part of my life. Growing up, I raised and looked after a variety of animals—including turtles, bunnies, and kittens—which taught me early on that every pet has their own personality, needs, and boundaries. As I got older, I became the go-to person for walking dogs and helping friends and neighbors care for their pets, gaining experience with everything from large, high-energy dogs to shy small pets and senior cats. Core Skills & Experience: -Comfortable with all sizes and temperaments (large dogs, small dogs, cats, kittens, seniors) -Kitten & puppy care, including play, supervision, and positive engagement -Senior pet care with patience, gentle handling, and routine consistency -Skilled with high-energy pets and structured walks/playtime -Strong at building trust with shy or anxious animals -Cat-focused care: playful engagement + respecting boundaries and cues -Detail-oriented with feeding schedules, routines, and updates -Experience managing multiple pets at once -Basic pet CPR knowledge (not certified, but familiar with emergency response) What sets me apart is my ability to adapt to each animal. Whether that means keeping up with an energetic dog who needs structure and exercise, or taking a slower, more gentle approach with older pets who need extra care and consistency, I focus on meeting them where they are. I especially love caring for cats. I enjoy playing with them, keeping them mentally engaged, and just as importantly, respecting their boundaries. I pay close attention to their behavior and take the time to build trust at their pace—something that’s especially important for shy or more independent cats. Above all, my goal is simple: to make your pet feel happy, secure, and cared for—like you never left. For safety and peace of mind, I also make it a strict rule to never board dogs and cats together, ensuring a calm and secure environment for every pet in my care. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I work full-time on a hybrid schedule, which gives me extra flexibility—especially on Mondays and Fridays when I’m home and have more availability for walks, drop-ins, and quality time with your pets. I’m also available for boarding on weekends (including Fridays), and I make sure to dedicate plenty of time for play, exercise, and attention so your pet never feels overlooked. I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and engaging environment for every pet. I live in a spacious apartment with a loft setup, giving pets plenty of room to relax and explore, and I have access to a nearby hiking trail that’s perfect for walks and outdoor play for dogs of all sizes. For cats, I provide a clean, enriched space with toys and scratching areas to keep them mentally stimulated. I always follow each owner’s instructions closely and adapt to your pet’s specific needs, routines, and personality. For added safety and peace of mind, I maintain a strict rule of never boarding dogs and cats together, ensuring a secure and stress-free environment for all animals.

“Genna was amazing! She took great care of my cat Nutella. She brushed her, played with her, fed her and gave her lots of love. She offered to meet before and noted down everything on Nutella routine. Also a bird got into the apartment and Nutella killed it, and Genna took care of everything, even vacuumed. Genna was amazing, I highly recommend her”

“Shannon was wonderful. The boys loved her. I was worried about leaving them for days, as I never had, but once we met Shannon, those fears evaporated. She came for a couple short visits prior to my trip. They took to her immediately, and while I was away she sent videos and pics multiple times per day. Really couldn't be happier!”

“Andy was great with our special needs kitty while we were away! He gave Buster lots of attention, managed his multiple feedings a day of wet and dry prescription food, and administered his daily oral medication without fuss. We were reassured by the many sweet photos Andy sent of Buster and himself along with updates. We couldn't be more pleased with Buster's care, Andy's attention to detail, and the neatness of our house on our return. We will definitely use Andy's help again in the future!”

About: I love dogs and worked for Camp K-9 of Marin (a doggy daycare) for 9 months, caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personality types. This gave me experience working with dogs that have temperament/behavioral issues and multitudes of medical needs. I am passionate in my care for all animals and am excited to meet your pets! I am currently transferring colleges and have an open schedule at the moment. I am available any time of day, any day of the week! I care for my own and other pets by making sure all of their needs are met and they are feeling loved and happy! No pet will be hungry, unclean, or unattended to.

About: Hi! I’m Scarlett — a reliable, attentive, and animal-loving walker based in Mill Valley. I’ve spent years house sitting, dog walking, and babysitting, and caring for others (both people and animals) has always come naturally to me. I’ve worked with clients through Nextdoor and am excited to expand and connect with more pets and families in the area. I’m also a wellness coach and interior designer on my other days, which means I bring a calm, grounded, and detail-oriented presence into everything I do — something animals tend to respond to quickly. I currently have two dogs and a cat of my own, so I truly understand the level of care, attention, and trust that goes into looking after someone’s pet. I treat every animal as if they were my own, with patience, presence, and genuine care. When I was younger, I worked and volunteered at Kitty Charm School for over a year, where I gained hands-on experience with a wide range of cat personalities and behaviors. I love getting dogs outside and active, whether that’s neighborhood walks, beach outings, trail walks, or park time. I’m always happy to tailor each visit to your pet’s energy level and routine, whether they need something calm or more active. I’m reliable, communicative, and flexible, and I’m always happy to accommodate specific routines or special requests. Looking forward to meeting you and your pet I’m generally available for dog walking on Tuesday and Thursday mornings (before 11am), as well as weekends, and I’m happy to accommodate additional requests when possible. I enjoy incorporating pet care into my routine, getting outside, staying active, and spending time with animals is something I genuinely look forward to. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping their routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walk routines, medications if needed, and any specific preferences your pet is used to. I am very attentive to each animal’s energy and behavior, making sure they feel safe, relaxed, and cared for while you are away. Whether your pet needs calm companionship or more active engagement, I adjust to their individual needs. For dog walks, I focus on safe, structured, and enjoyable outings, whether that is a neighborhood walk or a more active route depending on your dog’s energy level. At home, I am respectful of your space, clean, and communicative. I provide updates and photos so you feel at ease knowing your pet is in good hands. Since I have two dogs and a cat of my own, I understand the level of care, patience, and trust that goes into looking after someone’s pet, and I treat every animal as if they were my own.

“Renée is absolutely wonderful! She has cared for our cat Enzo multiple times. Renée is very dependable and posts the best photos :) We know Enzo is in good hands with her and would highly recommend her!”

About: I grew up surrounded by all kinds of pets and have owned both cats and a dog as an adult, which was a Dalmatian, describe them as eternally young. :-) I'm an active individual whose current living situation doesn't allow pets so would love to help with yours! Those of you in the Larkspur/Greenbrae area may recognize me from walks on the local paths where I’m able to greet many dogs. While on vacation, I also seek out opportunities to contribute or volunteer for various animal causes, which you’ll see in some of my pictures. I'm retired so my schedule is generally flexible unless I'm out of town for personal reasons. Choosing a more limited radius at this point enables greater schedule flexibility, and to be close to local resources should a need arise. I will pet sit in your home so that your fur baby has all of their normal comforts and routines. I realize not all owners have a fenced yard for a dog so understand the importance of daily walks. I always welcome the opportunity to meet or chat about your needs in advance, so that you may advise of any behaviors for which I'll need to be more mindful. I care for fur babies of at least one year of age. I’m allergic to cigarette smoke so that’s my only restriction. I'm a neat, tidy person who's very responsible--former homeowner.

“My dogs warmed up to her super quickly! thanks for helping on such short notice and will definitely reach out to you again! ?”

About: I have 20 years experience with bully breeds, and all the health issues that entails, but I’m open to sitting any breed (they are all good dogs!). I live at the beach, so your pup will get long beach walks and/or mountain trail hikes during the day, then sleepy downtime at night. It’s a pet paradise! Your dog will enjoy morning beach walks or trail hikes, or walks in a stroller if your pet has mobility issues. Daylight hours are spent being active, and evenings are resto-relaxo. I have a fenced and private front and backyard with fake grass for your pet to use. No stairs to navigate - single level home a block from the ocean. Just tell me your dogs energy level and exercise needs, and I’ll create the perfect doggy vacation!

About: While I’m new to professional pet sitting, I bring a lifelong love for animals and hands on experience caring for both cats and dogs. I’ve grown up with pets and have been a dedicated cat and dog owner for years. I currently own an eight year old Chihuahua and three cats of varying ages. I understand how much love, patience, and attention our pet family requires. I’ve cat-sat for friends and am comfortable with feeding routines, litter boxes, walks, playtime, and giving lots of love! I would love to take on jobs for dogs as well! I recently started volunteering at Marin Humane Society, where I learned about animal behavior, care, and enrichment from professionals. My long-term goal is to study Animal Science and pursue a career in animal care. I’m reliable, compassionate, and always happy to tailor my care to your pet’s unique needs and quirks. Pet care is already a big part of my daily life! I take care of one dog and three cats every day, making sure they’re well fed, loved, and active. I feed them in the morning and evening, play with them using their favorite toys, and walk the dog daily. Caring for animals isn’t just a task for me, it’s something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize throughout my day. It brings me a lot of joy and keeps me in tune with what pets need to feel safe, happy, and well cared for. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine consistent so they feel safe and comfortable in their own space. I make sure to follow all instructions closely whether it’s feeding schedules, walk times, play preferences, or any special needs. I always treat the client’s home with respect and keep things clean and organized. I give pets lots of love, attention, and enrichment while also being mindful of their comfort levels especially if they’re shy or adjusting to someone new. My goal is to make their time without you as stress free and happy as possible.

“Once again Cheryl was amazing checking on my cat Maize while I was away and keeping me posted with detailed updates and photos, she even got some clam juice for Maize to help her eat more wet food and stay hydrated :)”
