Cat Sitting Zinfandel

“Julie was amazing!”

Kyle N.

“Katie is a wonderful find. She came to our home first to meet the guy, see the house, put up with my stories of his fabulousness. Then her evening and morning 1-hour visits were 1) absolutely on time as agreed, 2) featured many photos of his various activities, 3) the completed checklist of meals, litter box, etc. and 4) great info on his behavior, especially since this was the first time she cat-sat. That he hissed at her on first visit, was chill and lovey on his second (sounds like him). Katie has made it her business to know as much as she can about cat behavior (she is a cat owner), such as why female cats may like their rumps rubbed while my male cat might not. She is also just a lovely, attentive, curious person. So glad she's in the neighborhood.”

About: 🐾 A Lifetime of Loving and Caring for Animals! 🐾 Animals have always been a huge part of my life! I’ve grown up caring for pets of my own and have also gained experience pet sitting for family and friends. From playtime and walks to feeding, cuddles, and keeping pets company, I genuinely love making sure every animal feels happy, safe, and loved. I understand that pets are part of the family, and I know how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for them while you’re away. I’m attentive, patient, responsible, and excited to get to know each pet’s unique personality, routine, and needs. Whether your pet is energetic and loves adventures or prefers relaxing and receiving lots of affection, I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention and care! My goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible by treating your pets like my own and giving you peace of mind that they’re in loving hands. I can’t wait to meet your furry family members and give them all the love, attention, and tail-wagging fun they deserve! ❤️🐶🐱 I have a flexible schedule and am happy to work with you to find a time that fits your pet’s needs! I’m available all days of the week and I’m open to discussing different times on those days. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friends! 🐾❤️ Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities! 🐾 I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family members, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, maintain your pet’s usual routine, and make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, and care. I want every pet to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m happy to learn about your pet’s personality, any special needs, feeding schedule, and favorite activities so I can provide the best possible care. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos, so you can relax knowing how your pet is doing! Whether we’re going for a walk, playing with their favorite toys, or enjoying some quiet cuddle time, my goal is to create a positive, safe, and loving environment where your pet feels right at home. Your trust means a lot to me, and I’ll treat your pets with the same love and care I would give my own. ❤️🐶🐱

“Francesca was amazing with our two young cats, they miss her already! She was very professional, communicative, and Percy and Delphi took to her right away. It was my first time using Rover and Francesca made it a very great first experience with the photos and videos she sent of them eating, playing, having a good time, and it made me feel at ease even when far away from them. Will definitely book her again.”

“Cora took the absolute best care of our two cats while we were away. She was super communicative as she showed up each day to take care of all their fussy needs. Our cats can't wait to see her again.”

“Jenn took great care of my cat Tuna while I was away. During a very hot weekend, she made sure my indoor/outdoor kitty had access to the house. She let me know how Tuna was doing throughout the weekend. I would definitely ask her to sit again!”

About: Ever since I was a kid I’ve had a passion for animals, and animal care. I genuinely love working with them, dogs are my strong point, and I have years of experience as well as have some training under my belt. I also am experienced in handling reptiles and large livestock! 🥰 I also wanna state that I can and am always willing to help out, however I do have a job I work Monday through Friday during the early afternoon to evening, so usually anything after 4 or 5pm works for me best! I work part time at a dealership in Santa Rosa, so I do have a lot of free time! I don’t mind over nights, and I don’t mind early mornings if need be! I’m very flexible with my schedule! Tell me what you need and I’ll do my best to accommodate your requests! I am very trustworthy, and since I love all animals I will always go above and beyond to treat your fur-babies like royalty! Animals are so important to me, sometimes I enjoy their presence more than people! I have experience in the veterinary technician field and all my friends and family say I am great with animals. Usually pets or animals come up to me when they don’t like others! I would treat your fur-babies as if they were my own, ALWAYS!

“Monica did a great job. My cat loved her! She sent lots of pictures and I am totally satisfied.”

About: As Confucius said, "Choose a job you love, and you will never work a day in your life." I began pet sitting throughout high school and from there my passion for animals grew. I am currently employed as a veterinary assistant although my ultimate goal is to attend veterinary school one day! I love being able to help families and their fur-babies. I am comfortable with administering medications and injections (such as insulin). I have cared for medically complex senior furry friends. I am currently taking a leave of absence from work and therefore have more free time available to pet sit! Pet sitting for family, friends, and pre-existing clients is currently my full time job until I return to my vet assistant role 😊 When caring for pets in their own homes, I like to keep things very neat and organized. I will typically wash bed sheets or at least remove bed sheets if spending the night. I will also bring my own groceries and supplies with me so as to not disturb the home. I do my best to spend the majority of my day in the home with the pet providing company.

“All I can say is that Leonna is a true ROCK STAR! We have two 4-year-old kitties we adopted during COVID, and since then we basically stopped traveling because we didn’t know who we could trust with our kitty girls. In 2023 we tried a cat hotel. While it was a nice place, it just wasn’t a good fit for our girls—so we hadn’t traveled since. After reading Leonna’s bio, she seemed like the perfect match. After meeting her in person, we knew she was the sitter for us. Last week, Leonna cared for our kitties while we were away. If you know cats, you know they don’t like change and ours are no different. The one I thought would adjust the easiest hissed at her the first day and went into hiding. But Leonna was patient, gentle, and did everything possible to make them feel comfortable and safe. On top of providing excellent care, she kept in daily communication with us, sending photos and videos. That was such a comfort—especially for my husband, who was initially a nervous wreck about leaving them. By the end of the trip, he couldn’t say enough about how wonderful Leonna was and how much she clearly cared for our girls. We already have another trip planned in a few weeks, and Leonna will be taking care of them again. She is truly an answer to our prayers for a compassionate, trustworthy pet sitter!”

About: Hello, friend!!! I have been housesitting and caring for other's pets, homes, and gardens since my teen years. As a writer I spend a lot of time working from home, meaning that I will largely be available throughout the day to give your pets all the attention they need and ease the discomfort of having their loved one (you!) away for a while. Staying attuned to an animal's needs comes naturally for me as it brings me fulfillment as well. Cats are my absolute favorite - I have had a cat as a companion in every stage of my life and cared for many more. I have cared for many dogs as well, but mostly quieter dogs with a "cat-like" demeanor. I have sensory sensitives so I am unable to care for younger and more energetic dogs that bark a lot. (Barking because excited for certain activities is expected and fine, though). Other pets I have owned and cared for include smaller pets such as goldfish, bearded dragons, hermit crabs, snakes, and tarantulas. I have great respect for what a home means and treat every space I am in with reverence, keeping it clean and cared for. I also have light experience gardening and am comfortable watering a mass of plants! I have housesat several locations that have an entire array of potted plants. I always make sure they are well tended to and kept as lively as ever! A little bit about me - I am a 35 year old writer and performance artist. (They/them pronouns). I grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area of California, and attended college in Santa Fe, New Mexico where I received my BA in Creative Writing and Literature. I remained in the beautiful high desert for close to a decade in earlier adulthood. The culture and gorgeous landscapes of both Northern California and New Mexico have deeply informed who I am. I've also worked in childcare and children's entertainment. Being a caretaker has always come naturally to me and often brings me a sense of fulfillment. Some of my favorite activities (other than writing and performing) are hiking, reading, dancing, reading tarot, and making art. Any of my close loved ones will tell you I am a calm, kind, humorous, intelligent, and thoughtful person who approaches all things in life from the heart and with great intention. I can't wait to meet you and give your beloved pets the attention and love they deserve while you go on your next great adventure! Since I mostly work from home writing, pet care easily fits into my daily schedule. Occasionally, I have live performances and community events but when I am needed all day elsewhere I typically know well in advance and can communicate with you effectively to make sure this housesit is still a good fit for both of us and especially your beloved pet! All pet care will take place in your home, so I will keep your pets' routine as stated, ensuring that nothing is disrupted for them aside from your departure. Plants and home will also be cared for as you would care for it. Cleanliness is part of my values, so you can expect your home to be as organized and neat as you left it. I do not do deep cleaning such as vacuuming unless previously negotiated.
