About
** Important information below, please read before reaching out, thanks!**
I specialize in drop-in visits ONLY (no boarding or house sitting)
Please note: The estimated rate that's generated by Thumbtack is not accurate. My base rate is $50 for a 30-minute visit for one animal.
Final pricing depends on: number of animals, distance from my home, visit frequency, and care needs.
I can administer most medications (liquids, ear gels—no pilling if it requires anything outside of a pill pocket)
I primarily serve Los Gatos, Saratoga, Campbell, Cupertino, and West San Jose, as I work remotely and need to be aware of distance & timing during weekdays.
Greater distances can be accommodated on weekends.
Thanks!

Hi There 🙂
Thanks for checking out my page!
I've been caring for animals in the South Bay since 2008, with 25+ repeat clients including busy professionals who need reliable, communicative care. I come from a family of animal lovers—my uncle was a veterinarian—and I treat every cat like family. You'll get photo updates, clear communication, and peace of mind.
Questions? Happy to chat!
Thanks Again,
Michael

My job was complex. It involved caring for pets in two homes. He took on one home with a cat and a red eared slider turtle and the other home with 6 cats involving supplements.
Michael took the time to sort it all out and took excellent care of my very special cat family.
Details: Cat • 6 pets or more • Giving food and water • Changing litter or bedding • Dispensing medication • Providing companionship • Standard visit (60 minutes) • Two times a day • My home, venue, etc.

We feel so fortunate to have found Mike. I was very nervous about handing over my keys to a stranger and leaving for vacation but my fears quickly evaporated. Every step of the way he was responsive, professional, personable. He asked questions about things I hadn’t even thought about which I appreciated because it made me realize I was leaving my cats (Hamlet and Othello) and my home in good hands. Best of all, I was able to enjoy my vacation worry free!
Details: Cat • 2 pets • Changing litter or bedding • Providing companionship • Giving food and water • Short visit (30 minutes) • Once a day • My home, venue, etc.

Michael is a wonderful young man who takes his pet sitting seriously, which I appreciate! He’s great at keeping you apprised of what’s going on with your fur family, and is quick to respond to any questions. The house looked just as good as when I left! I was sorry that all of my cats are shy and I don’t think any of them came out for him!
Details: Cat • 5 pets • Giving food and water • Changing litter or bedding • Standard visit (60 minutes) • Two times a day • My home, venue, etc.

Michael took care of my very energetic young cat for 3 days. He was easy to communicate with and sent daily updates. My cat seemed content when I got home—she has had behavioral issues in the past when I’ve left her in the care of friends, but none of that this time

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My rate depends on number of cats, visit frequency, distance from my location, and any special care needs (like medications).
Holiday visits have a surcharge. Base rate is $40 for a 30-minute visit with one cat. Once I know the details, I can give you an exact price.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I always like to meet you and your animals beforehand to make sure it's a good fit for everyone.
The more information you can give me about your pets and associated care, the better!
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I've cared for cats my entire life and started a pet care business in 2008. My uncle is a retired veterinarian, so I grew up around professional animal care. I've been providing cat drop-in visits in the South Bay for over 15 years.
