Cat Sitting Woodside

“Nina & Leo O. are super detail-oriented, friendly, and easy to communicate with. During the evaluation visit, they came well-prepared with insightful questions and raised potential concerns. We truly appreciate their knowledge and thoughtful considerations, which stem from their extensive pet care experience. Understanding that Bridgette is a bit shy and easily nervous, they always approached her gently, both in their initial meeting and subsequent encounters. While we were away, they provided outstanding care for Bridgette, ensuring her litter box and food bowls were clean, refreshing her food and water, and feeding her favorite treats. After each visit, they provided us with a detailed summary of how Bridgette was doing at home. We highly value their loving and gentle approach and would be delighted to have them care for Bridgette again in the future.”

“Julia is AMAZING! If I could give her 11 stars I would. I am such an anxious cat mom and Julia made me feel so comfortable leaving my baby all weekend under her care. She sent thorough updates, and tons of cute and funny pictures of my kitty. She is so communicative and you can tell she really cares for your pet like they’re her own. I would recommend Julia to anyone I know, and will definitely be having her watch my Lola anytime we need someone from now on!”

“Danielle was very patient with my worrying of my cats while traveling. She quickly made friends with my little fur-besties and they seemed happy when we returned! Thanks again!!”

About: I’ve been a cat parent to my domestic shorthair and domestic longhair since they were kittens in 2022, so I have plenty of firsthand experience caring for cats through different stages of their lives. I’ve also frequently cared for my friend’s Ragdoll, so I’m comfortable getting to know different personalities, routines, and preferences. I’m also a big dog lover and will be welcoming a Miniature American Shepherd puppy of my own next spring! I’m so excited to meet and care for some of your pups in the meantime. Whether it’s keeping your cat company, dropping in for some playtime and cuddles, or taking your dog out for a walk, I’ll make sure your pets get plenty of attention and care while you’re away. 🐾 I’m currently working from home most of the time, and it’s very easy for me to step away for 30 minutes to an hour, so I can go visit your fur friend and make sure they are doing alright. When I drop in, I will follow your pet’s routine exactly like you instruct me to. I will use my best judgement if an emergency comes up.

“I have used this service for many years at this point, and Julie is simply the best. She truly care about the animals and is also very knowledgeable. On the second day she quickly noticed from one of the cats’ behavior that he was sick and took him to the hospital, where the doctor found a partial urethral obstruction, which could have had dire consequences if diagnosed late. I cannot imagine what would have happened if we didn’t luckily have her. We feel truly indebted to her!”

About: I've been around animals for as long as I can remember, starting with Ginger, my family's German shepherd and husky mix, four cats, fish, and pet rodents growing up. I later spent about two years volunteering at my local SPCA, working hands-on with dogs of every size and temperament, from bouncy puppies to nervous rescues. I've also had cats of my own as an adult, including two rescues, and fostered kittens before I started traveling. Since then I've cared for pets through farm stays and housesits across Costa Rica, Panama, Spain, and Canada — dogs, cats, chickens, turkeys, goats, sheep, pigs, a donkey, as well as an adult pet rabbit. 😊 I'm comfortable administering medication, working with anxious or senior animals, and managing multi-pet households. I'm calm, attentive, and treat every home and animal I look after like my own. I'm currently transitioning to the San Mateo County area temporarily starting early November and building my schedule around pet care full-time, so I have plenty of flexibility for house sits, and daily visits, including extended or last-minute stays. I don't currently have a conflicting 9-to-5, which means I can commit fully to a pet's normal routine for the length of a booking rather than fitting care in around other work. Since I focus on house sitting, I stay at your home rather than asking your pet to adjust to a new environment. I follow feeding, medication, and walking routines exactly as instructed, keep the house clean and secure, and send regular photo updates so you can relax while you're away. I don't bring other pets into the home, so your animal gets my full attention for the whole stay.

About: Hi! My name is Taylor, and I'm a caring animal lover who understands that pets are family. I've owned dogs my entire life, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust. Whether you're heading to work, taking a vacation, or just need an extra hand, I'm committed to making sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. In addition to my personal experience, I worked at PetSmart, where I was responsible for caring for all of the animals on the sales floor. This included feeding, cleaning habitats, monitoring their health and behavior, and ensuring they were comfortable and well cared for each day. That experience taught me the importance of paying close attention to animals, recognizing when something may be wrong, and providing consistent, attentive care. I offer pet sitting, dog walking, drop-in visits, feeding, fresh water, playtime, companionship, potty breaks, litter box cleaning, medication administration (if needed), and plenty of affection and attention. I know that every pet has their own personality and routine, so I always take the time to follow your instructions carefully and provide individualized care. I'm responsible, detail-oriented, and someone you can count on to treat both your pets and your home with respect. I understand how important communication is when you're away, so I'm happy to provide regular updates and photos so you always know how your furry, feathered, or scaly family member is doing. My goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible while giving your pets the love, attention, and care they deserve. I strive to create a calm, positive experience so they can stay happy and comfortable in their familiar environment. Caring for animals has always been a part of my daily life. I've owned dogs my entire life, so I'm very familiar with feeding schedules, daily walks, playtime, grooming, and making sure pets get plenty of love and attention. Additionally, I have owned English bulldogs, so I am very familiar with any special medications your pets may need. I enjoy spending time outdoors, so dog walks are something I genuinely look forward to! I am currently a student at Foothill College, so when I'm not in class, my schedule is pretty flexible, allowing me to provide morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend care depending on your pet's needs. I understand the importance of consistency in a pet's routine and will do my best to maintain their normal schedule while you're away. When caring for pets in a client's home, my priority is to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their familiar environment. I carefully follow each owner's instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and any special routines or preferences. I make sure pets always have fresh water, plenty of exercise and attention, and a clean living space. I also provide regular photo and text updates so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I treat every home with the same respect I would my own, keeping everything clean, secure, and exactly as you left it.

About: Hello! Here is a little about me! I am a recent graduate from the University of Oregon and am now based in Menlo Park. I have always loved animals and have grown up surrounded by pets my entire life. I have cared for my own pets, fostered animals, and spent lots of time caring for other people’s pets, so I understand how important it is find someone you can trust with your furry family members. I love getting to know each pet’s personality and will make sure that they feel comfortable, happy, and loved while you’re away! Skills/Qualifications: - Patient, attentive, and responsible ❤️ - Comfortable with walks, feeding, and playtime 🦮 - Maintaining daily routines 🏡 - Senior care 🐾 - Medication administration 💊 - Keeping you updated with photos/videos 📸 I am currently a graduate student studying Speech-Language Pathology through New York University. I have a flexible school schedule, which allows me to easily fit pet sitting into my routine and spend time giving your animals the care and companionship they need. I’ll make sure to follow each pet’s usual routine and give them plenty of attention in the comfort of their own home. I’ll also follow any specific instructions from the pet parent to make sure their pet feels comfortable while they’re away.

“Maila did a great job dropping in on our cat, Felix, while we were away for a few days. She even let him play outside for a bit, which I’m sure he loved since he’s an indoor-outdoor cat and doesn’t get to go outside as much when we are traveling.”

“Kate did a great job watching our cat and sent over some very cute pictures. Our cat seemed to warm up to her quickly!”

About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up my family always had dogs and I was trusted at a young age to feed, walk, and otherwise care for them (which included administering medication to dogs who were not always the most cooperative). I have also been riding horses competitively for over 20 years and was a member of the University of Georgia Division I Equestrian Team. Although I was surrounded by horses during my time in college, I desperately missed my family dogs and as a result started house and pet sitting for people in the Athens area. My junior year my roommate got a dog and I frequently chipped in to help with his care when she was out of town or had a particularly hectic schedule. After college I attended law school in Washington, DC where I continued to house and pet sit for my friends, other residents in my apartment building, and others in the community. I graduated from law school in May 2025 and have since moved back to the Bay Area (I grew up in Menlo Park) as I am in between professional opportunities. I have found that I have some extra time on my hands and so I thought I would get back to house and pet sitting, this time specifically through Rover. In the past I have always gotten clients through word of mouth, which is why my extensive experience is not necessarily reflected on my Rover profile. At this time I am house and pet sitting on a part time basis, but I have a lot of flexibility as most of my other daily commitments can be easily fulfilled from any location; this means that if you have a pet that prefers constant company I can easily work from your home so your pet can get everything they need. I feel comfortable administering medications and am used to feeding animals with more complicated diets/food regimes. I have experience caring for animals of all ages. I am responsible, trustworthy, communicative, detail oriented, and most importantly love animals, which means that you can be worry free while your pet is in my hands. I am also very neat and conscientious, so if I am staying at your home I will take very good care of your space and your plants (if necessary). At the moment I am house and pet sitting part time, but my schedule is quite flexible so I have quite a lot of availability. I can drop in for walks, feeding, potty breaks, playtime, cat litter cleanings, etc basically every day of the week any time before 7:00 pm. My one schedule restriction is a weekly appointment on Wednesdays from 3:00 - 4:00. I update my availability often and will make sure that any other schedule restrictions that come up are reflected on there for your convenience. When it comes to house and pet sitting that involves me staying at your home, I am available for that any day of the week. I can complete most of my other professional commitments (Monday - Friday) remotely from your home, so your pet would not have to be alone all day while I went to work. I am unfortunately not able to bring your pet to my home at this time, so all care would occur at (or around in the case of walking) your home. I will follow whatever instructions you provide regarding the care of your pet. I feel comfortable administering medication, managing complicated diets, and dealing with picky eaters (my dog is a very picky eater and I have learned a lot of tactics that work well for him and other dogs I have cared for). If your pet uses any sort of automatic feeder, litter box, etc I am a fast learner and feel confident that I would be able to work with most devices of this sort. I likely would generally walk your pet around your neighborhood, but if time permits and that is something you would like/feel comfortable with I am happy to take your pet to a local dog park, park, hike, etc. My dog loves playing with frisbees and balls, so if that is something your pet enjoys I would be more than happy to do that as well.

“Michelle is great with my large and sometimes nervous dog! She’s also very patient when giving my cat oral meds. My pets are comfortable around her and she takes great photos. I’ll be hiring her again!”

“Ian always takes such good care of our boys and always leaves our house immaculate. It’s so huge for us to be able to be away from home and have someone there we can trust. We also really appreciate the regular updates and adorable pictures. I cannot recommend Ian enough!!”

About: I am a big animal loving person and I like to spend time outside and I would love to take your pets on walks to help them release energy and spend time with them! I am a soccer player for a college and I am also a college student. It is hard to find ways to make more money but when I heard about this I thought it was perfect because I love animals and what better way to make money if you love to spend time with animals! I care for the pets the way that the owner will want me to, every owner is different so I want to keep that consistent to not confused the pets. On the other hand, my own pets are very spoiled and loved. They are trained but they know they are very spoiled and are treated very good. They are living their best life!

About: Living in Stanford, my Jack Russell, Chuy, and I love taking full advantage of the local parks for daily runs and outdoor fun! At my home, your pup will enjoy complete freedom—whether that means diving into a giant basket of toys or curling up for a relaxing nap on the sofa or a plush dog bed. Having grown up around animals, caring for pets is second nature to me. I treat every guest like family, ensuring a safe, fun, and comfortable environment tailored to your dog’s unique personality. Feel free to reach out with any questions—Chuy and I can’t wait to meet you and your beloved pup! I'm currently on a sabbatical and so I have a lot of free time to take care of your pets, go on long walks or house sit. My current apartment has a fenced in yard with parks near by for long walks or runs. Pets are also allowed to to go on the couch for cuddles.

About: We’re an engaged couple looking for more time with pets! We’d love to give your pet extra care, companionship, and affection while you’re away or taking some time for yourself. We only care for one pet (or one family) at a time so your pet can get plenty of attention with us. As a couple, your pet gets double the care and companionship at no extra cost! We especially enjoy boarding pets in our home. We don’t have pets or children of our own. Our private fenced backyard allows for plenty of space to play. We go on 1–2 walks a day and would love to have your pet join us! We can’t wait to meet your furry family member and give them a home-away-from-home! 🐾🥰 One of our favorite things to do is go on walks together. We always joke and say we’re meant to have a pet, so we decided to do Rover! We have no pets or kids in our house and we plan to take care of one pet/family at a time so we can give them our full attention and make sure they are as comfortable as can be. We also have a private fenced backyard.

“Sukky (Siqi) is an amazing Rover cat sitter — incredibly attentive and truly knows how to interact with cats. Hoohoo was so well cared for, and reading her daily update notes genuinely made my day every time. She’s thoughtful, observant, and clearly experienced with cats. She also went above and beyond what I expected: she helped brush Hoohoo’s fur, tidied up the living room, and took absolutely fantastic photos (I’m literally using them as my phone wallpaper!). On top of that, she even drew an adorable little sketch of Hoohoo — such a sweet and personal touch. I’m so grateful for everything she did, and I will definitely book Siqi again next time. Highly recommend!”

“Ana provided exceptional and reliable care for our two cats, Gimli and MoMo, while we were away. She is highly trustworthy and extremely responsible. Her communication was excellent; she sent frequent photos and updates to confirm the cats were consistently fed, cared for, and happy. We felt completely at ease knowing Ana was looking after them. We returned home to two relaxed, well-cared-for pets. We highly recommend Ana for her professional and caring service!”

“John was so kind and attentive with Max everyday during his stay. He was absolutely flexible adapting his apartment for Max big size and all his belongings (litter, scratchers, food containers, carrier, blankets, toys), so Max would have a less stressful stay. John was effectively communicating with us, and always willing to do his best to ensure Max will have a great time and we will know as much as possible about Max’s last updates. We are really thankful with John for taking care of Max, following his food and water routine over the heat wave, for cleaning his eyes and for sending us all the pictures and updates every day, so we will enjoy our short trip knowing Max was safe and happy. Thank you so much John, we’ll see you next time! Blessings from the 3 of us!”
