I love LoveCats- I'll elaborate. As a pet parent, especially a cat mom, I never feel comfortable leaving them fur children with anyone. At the same time, as a very picky Virgo, and an Asian, I also never feel comfortable leaving my apartment with anyone lol (what if they don't take off their shoes?!). I'll be honest- I couldn't help but worry the first time. But Nich was amazing. He was patient, friendly and so detailed in the everyday reports & pictures that we knew we had found someone who cared. So later on when we took a 2 week trip abroad, we weren't worried at all. We knew that LoveCats's got us and the cats. And Nich again was amazing- even our shyest cat that didn't come out at all the last time got comfortable with him. He notices when one of our cats were over grooming, took action to contact our emergency contacts and got medication for him. I'm grateful to have found LoveCats! I haven't had a chance to meet Samantha yet but she is always super responsive and kind. Would definitely recommend them to anyone and everyone! read more

I have had multiple amazing experiences over the past year with this business! Five stars is not enough. It's everything I would want cat sitting to be and more, for instance, booking dates is seamless, responses are always within 24 hrs if not sooner, payment options are easy. The meet and greet with Nich was actually fun, he exudes a calm nature and even though I've had cats my whole life, he offered observations and informative dialogue and I quickly realized I'm dealing with a pro. Each cat is different and he's met a lot more than I have! As it turns out my transitioning to indoor feral cat is quite fond of him. He has a lot of fun with him while I am away and sets the bar rather high for when I return The messages I receive while I'm away sometimes far away, always bring a bit of a twinkle to my eye, as they are definitely not generic and the pictures make me chuckle. So, for multiple reasons, I highly recommend this business, excellent cat care, great customer service, and the added bonus that I feel my house is much more secure when I am away when they come to visit twice a day. As you can tell, I am very fond of this team as is my cat. I realize there' are a lot of options out there for pet care, don't settle for less, your pets deserve LoveCats. read more

As a certified Fear Free cat trainer, I am extremely picky! But Kathie from LoveCats was not only good, but great! I am used to a neighbor taking care of my cats and she does it with love and dedication. LoveCats took cat sitting to a whole new level. When I got back, my cats were not stressed out or frantic! They were calm and their every need had obviously been satisfied. Plus, Kathie was wonderful with communication, so I didn't once worry about being away for my daughter's wedding. Thank you LoveCats! I will certainly recommend you to my clients. read more

My husband and I are so happy we found LoveCats. We have used their services five times since April and couldn't be more pleased. Nich has been so great and patient with our semi-blind kitty Odin. Having impaired vision and a low socialization record, Odin was one tough cookie to crack but Nich was persistent, caring, and professional on his approach. We received detailed updates each visit with tons of pictures of our furry guy. We were able to enjoy our trips so much more knowing that Odin was in good hands. Communication and booking services on the App was a breeze. We will continue to book LoveCats for all our Odin sitting needs. Thank you Nich & Samantha! read more

LoveCats is awesome! I love that everything is managed through their app. Nich shared daily reports of tasks done and what the cats were up to. I love that Nich described his quest to learn the cat's personalities and quirks. Best cat sitters! read more

LoveCats Cat Sitting - Screenshot of Nich's visit and photos of the kitties! We enjoyed the action shots. - Pet Sitting Near Me

You really could not ask for a better professional cat sitter than Samantha of LoveCats. First and foremost, it's obvious she loves cats. She takes her time to try to get to know the cats, takes great photos of them while you're away, and so forth. As you can see from the photo, my cats had no trouble warming up to her. Second, her online platform makes providing information, exchanging messages and photos, and scheduling new times a breeze. I've had good pet sitters in the past, but none were this easy to do the logistics with. It's such a relief to find all the pertinent information right where you expect it including confirmation that "yes I really did schedule Samantha for when I'm out of town." Finally, she's incredibly responsive to messages. Payment is simple and she provides a number of methods of payment ( venmo, paypal, google pay, square cash, and zelle), but it would be cool if in the future the payment system were built into her excellent online platform. read more

LoveCats Cat Sitting - Sure, Hermes here isn't hard to please but he's still a good judge of character. - Pet Sitting Near Me

Used this cat sitting service for two different trips. I liked the daily updates with photos. One thing I didn't particularly like was how timid they were with my cat. Yes she is very shy and has a lot of anxiety. But I kept saying to use the banana and it wasn't used until much later on in the week on the first service. I would have preferred if they had not been so scared of taking charge. The second trip was last month. I was informed during the key pick up ($20 btw) that they don't want my mom looking after my cat at nights. Well two things, they raised prices since the first time so it was going to be much more in the end. Second, I really don't agree with the policy that my own mother is not allowed to look after my cat. The last straw though was that they cleaned the cat water fountain. I provided a pitcher to just refill the fountain which they ignored. Then proceeds to wash the filter and such not thoroughly so that when I got back and looked at the water, my cat had been drinking SOAP WATER FOR A WEEK. I tried getting my key back which they made a big deal but in the end sent it back by mail per my request. read more

Samantha is the best cat sitter. She does a meet and greet and took care of our senior cat so well and send us cute pics and an update in him daily. I trust her completely as our cat, Reese has kidney failure and she gave him meds like a vet would :) read more

LoveCats Cat Sitting - Pet Sitting Near Me

I just have to say that I have been VERY pleased with LoveCats Cat Sitting! While I've only personally met Samantha, she has been a delight to work with. I hired LoveCats on two separate occasions for sitting. They are always extremely communicative throughout, providing updates twice a day. I also consulted with Samantha as to one of my cat's behavioral issues and I was amazed at how informative the session was. She really took the time to explain possible reasons for the issues and ways to solve them, as well as general information about how to make the cats more happy. Naturally, it takes some time to implement all the changes, but I am very happy with all the information received and look forward to our next session. They are definitely a very knowledgeable bunch and passionate about felines, which is great because most pet sitters I've found online focus on dogs. As to the cat sitting services, more specifically, the first time we hired LoveCats was really smooth. I was hesitant during the first hiring because our cats need to be separated due to behavioral issues, but we took a staycation to try things out and everything went really well, thankfully. The second cat sitting session came with some issues due to the cats having a confrontation (not at all the fault of LoveCats). Since it was during New Year's and our neighbors tend to set off fireworks which irritate the cats, one of our cats scratched through the screen door in the room where he is usually put away and ended up having a confrontation with the other cat during the night. By the time the sitter arrived, they were still at it, but she handled everything nicely, always being in communication about what was going on. She and Samantha created a game plan to separate the cats (which apparently took some time, not surprisingly) and they were able to recreate peace and harmony in the household prior to our arrival. Throughout the whole time, they were letting me know about what went on. They were also implenting all the suggestions I was making through their app (which is a great way to communicate). Communication is key, particularly with the issues we are currently having. Needless to say, I look forward to continuing to consult on this issue and, in general, learning about ways in which to be a better cat mom. Thanks again LoveCats for all your love and professionalism!! read more

These are great cat sitters! Great communication, and I love the app. While my cats are delicate little flowers who hid every single day like the little idiots they are, I still received daily updates about them, including pictures. He was very diligent about knowing their hiding places and getting eyes on them to make sure they were ok. I'm sure if they came out they'd have gotten lots of pets, treats, and playtime. It was very hot when I was out, and he even took the time to put ice in their water. These are definitely the cat sitters to book! read more

Samantha came to the rescue to care for our senior cat after another company we'd booked flaked out on us right before our 10-day trip. Not only did Samantha accommodate a last-minute booking, but we received daily updates and pictures and felt we'd found someone who truly cared about our kitty. It was also great that she took in mail, watered plants, and handled all the other small chores that make a house appear lived-in during an extended time away. Without question, we'll be sticking with LoveCats from now on. read more

Omg! Samantha is the best cat sitter out there. She really cares and do her job very good. She exceeded my expectations with taking care of my two boys. I have not once feel worried of my boys because every visit she gives full detailed update with pictures. And I came home with everything, litter and bowls cleaned. First time I didn't smell the house with litter scent. That's how you know she cleaned the litter really good. I've had other pet sitter too but not as good as Sam and I know with Sam my boys will be more than fine when we're out of town. Take my word for it, hire Sam for cat sitting. It'll be the best decisions you'll ever make for your furry babies. read more

Samantha really loves cats! She came to watch over my fur babies while I was out of town. I was very impressed with her attention to detail. She came over for a meet and greet. She was instant friends with 2 of the fur family. The other 2 were skiddish. She ensured me She would make sure they were all OK. She wanted to know their personalities and likes. The app she uses also let's you fill in a complete profile for each baby. She also asks for vet and an emergency contact for when you are away. That made me feel so secure. During my trip She kept me updated with messages and pictures. She also kept boxes clean and food/water filled. Mail was collected and trash cans put out. All great perks! I am definitely having Samantha back and wholeheartedly recommend her for your fur family!! read more

LoveCats Cat Sitting - My fur family - Pet Sitting Near Me

Excellent service with attention to detail on my cats behavior day to day. Complete reports provided each day with photos.

Totally recommend LoveCats! Nich initially helped us with very little notice and took such good care of our new kitten. She's a true fraidy-cat and we are thankful for Nich's thoughtful and careful approach with her. She is always in good spirits when we return since Nich has faithfully provided her with fresh food and water and cleaned up the messes she makes. Nich keeps the house in great shape, he brings in the mail and even takes out our garbage and brings the bins back in! Really helps to make it look like someone's around when we're gone. Nich's obvious affection for cats, his attention to detail and the reports he sends help us to focus on our trips and not worry about anything at home. Thank you Nich! We plan to continue to use LoveCats. read more

I've been using LoveCats for around a year now! Samantha is truly incredible. My cats warmed up to her very quickly and she truly takes care of them/plays with them during her visit. When she is done, she always provides a detailed description of her visit and plenty of photos, which I greatly appreciate! She has also gone out her way to accommodate a last minute request I had. She will treat your cats as her own, I always have piece of mind that my cats are in good hands while I am away! read more

They took excellent care of my kittens as it was my first long trip away from them since I got them. I was sent pictures and a report every day of how they were doing. I will absolutely use LoveCats again. read more

Samantha did an excellent job taking care of our cat while we were away. Our cat was in good spirits when we arrived home. Samantha sends detailed daily updates with photos - we looked forward to receiving her fun update messages every day! Her messages gave us peace of mind while we were out of town. Samantha seems to understand cats very well. We plan to continue using LoveCats for cat sitting. read more

So happy to have found Nich and Samantha from LoveCats! We've been on several trips already this year but feel so reassured that our two fur babies are in great hands. We receive daily updates and tons of cute photos which we appreciate so much (and they water our plants!). We come home to happy cats-- with their fresh water, plenty of food, and clean litter boxes. Communication has been easy, and they are very timely/responsive. Key drops off/pick ups are also convenient which is a huge plus. All in all, can't recommend LoveCats enough! read more

Samantha is great at taking care of our Simba and Pepper when we are out of town. I was not happy with our previous cat sitters and was very picky in selecting a new person to take care of my kitties. Samantha did a great job in communicating with us through the app, sending daily pictures and updates and making sure that our kitties are well taken care of. Would 100% recommend this service to any of my friends who are cat owners. Here are some pics from her visits read more

Absolutely fantastic cat sitters. Very professional, super easy going and the app makes daily updates a breeze. I didn't worry at all leaving my cat for 3 weeks in their capable hands. Will be using for the foreseeable future! read more

Samantha is wonderful! I've been using her service for nearly 2+ years now and I'm so grateful I've found someone to take care of my cat. I've had my cat for nearly 12 years now and I've grown to be very picky about whom watches him. She's watched after my cat from the usual 2 - 3 day trips to upwards when I'm away for a week or more. From the day we set up our introduction meeting to the more recent appointments, Samantha is a fantastic person and extremely considerate when watching after my cat. In every photo she send while I'm away, I can see my cat is happy, content, and cared-for. Samantha is always consistent and responsive to messages, cares deeply about my cat, and I can be away knowing that my cat is in good hands. I don't hesitate to reach out to Samantha when I need to be away for a few days. If you're looking for your next cat-sitter, do give her a call / message! read more

We've used Samantha through both LoveCats and her previous business, and we couldn't be happier with her service. Both of our cats take a while to warm up to strangers, and one in particular has never even come out to greet previous cat sitters - until she started to come out of her shell with Samantha's thorough and thoughtful visits. We always get full, detailed updates with lots of pictures every day that we're away, and it makes us feel much more comfortable being away from the cats. Can't recommend her more if you want to be sure your kitties are in great hands! read more

Samantha has taken care of our two cats multiple times, and up to 3 weeks at a time. Both of my cats are not friendly with other animals and don't do well leaving home, so a home sitter is their best option. One cat also needs meds daily and that's no problem for her! Samantha always updates us daily with pictures, and is very communicative if there's any questions or concerns. I'm always sad to leave my cats behind when I'm out of town, but I know they're in great hands. They always seem happy in their pictures and the first time Samantha met them, they instantly took to her. When I get home, they're happy and healthy (albeit noisy!), their bowls are never empty, and the litter box is always clean. I'm so happy to have found Samantha and will be using her services as long as I have cats, and I highly recommend her services to anyone else that needs a cat sitter too. read more

We were looking for a new sitter post COVID and have been super pleased with Samantha and LoveCats. She and her husband are very attentive to cat behavior and needs, making sure to approach the new relationship with care. I really appreciate their app for managing requests and care instructions as well as invoices. It makes the process run so smoothly. We feel grateful to have found them as we've had a difficult time finding a good fit for us and our 2 kitties. Highly recommend!! read more

We've had the best experience with LoveCats. Samantha is quick to respond, extremely reliable, and just all around great with my cats (one has a lot of medical problems). I feel at ease while away from home knowing she is looking after them. I love that everything is done in an app that I can easily update and communicate with Samantha. She also sends the best photos and updates of my cats while we are away! Five stars all around! read more

I am so pleased I found LoveCats as an option for our cat. He is a mature kitty with some health issues that requires multiple feedings a day. Samantha and Nich are wonderful and so easy to work with. They really care about the animals they are looking after and we love getting updates with photos after each visit. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, friendly, and superior cat sitting services. read more

Highly recommend LoveCats! Ever since Samantha starting looking after our cat, he now expects a solid 15 minutes of brushing after every time he eats, proof he is living the good life while we are gone. Our cat really loves to be around people even if he isn't one to be super cuddly and we wanted a cat-specific service like LoveCats that wouldn't misinterpret a chill cat for one who doesn't want attention. With Samantha we don't have to worry. She also takes care of a bunch of little things like watering plants and taking in packages when we're away for a while that are super helpful! read more

Samantha is amazing! She is so attentive and my cats love her. She is able to give my cat with kidney failure fluids and sent me regular updates and photos. I will definitely be using her services again. read more

Best experience. Nich took care of our cats and kept our home quite clean and neat. The whole process is just wonderful. He sent us very detailed report every day through the app and always responded real quick. Overall it's beyond our expectation and awesome experience read more

To say I love and worry about my cats is a severe understatement. I used to take my 7 yr old Calico with me everywhere when I traveled. Recently I adopted a new cat and I cannot handle both in an airport or on a plane by myself. Instead of boarding my kitties I chose to hire a cat sitter in hopes they would be happy with their surroundings and not dislike me until the end of time. I know I'd be ticked off if I was put in a cage while my owners went away after spending most of my life living in a house or apartment. Anyways I had to travel to the East Coast for Thanksgiving. Samantha was like a therapist to me. She continuously assured me my babies would be ok. And never took offense every time I told her I was scared to leave them with a cat sitter. Each day she sent me an update on each cat with photos. She fed them, gave them water, cleaned their litter, left them yogurt as a treat and played with them as they became more comfortable. I cannot say anything except 'I love Samantha and LoveCats Cat Sitting!' I came home this morning and my cats acted like nothing was different or off. I highly recommend this company if you love your cats. It's affordable and efficient. She has a few cats so she gets it. She speaks kitty meow language I guess :) Cannot say enough positive things about this woman and her company. Thanks again...will be using you again in the near future! read more

Samantha is incredibly professional; we highly recommend her service. She is very communicative, always on time, and our cats love her! Every time we come home from a trip the litter box and eating areas are clean and our animals are happy. She uses a user-friendly online portal that makes messaging easy and keeps all of our cat's info in one spot so we don't have to worry about her not having vet info or details about where the food and cleaning supplies are kept, for example. We've had some bad experiences in the past with cat sitters in the Pleasanton area and are thrilled that we found Samantha! You can't go wrong hiring LoveCats to take care of your furbabies! read more

My husband and I searched for years for some who could care for our cat Bandit when we were away. He is diabetic and it is very hard to find someone who is trained as well as comfortable administering insulin to an old, grumpy cat. We finally found Samantha and LoveCats! Samantha is truly amazing and I don't know what we would do without her. She spends time with Bandit and has the magic touch of giving him his insulin. We look forward to all of our trips away knowing that our cat is safe with her. Thank you Samantha and LoveCats! read more
