Pet sitting in Redwood City, CA

The-Pet-Bestie_Patterns-04.jpg

Home is where the heart is.

Your pet’s favorite place is home, complete with the perfect napping spots and the one chair they definitely weren’t supposed to take over (but absolutely did). It’s where they feel safest, most comfortable, most themselves.


When you’re on vacation, traveling for work or just otherwise tied up, The Pet Bestie will step in to keep their world feeling as familiar as possible. We’ll follow their routine and care for them just as you would, so you can enjoy your time away knowing they’re in good hands until you’re reunited.

The Pet Bestie promise

You can count on us to show up when we say we will, and treat your pets and home with the same care and respect we would our own.

WE START WITH A CONSULTATION

This is where we get to meet you and your pet and learn all the important info like routines, preferences and those quirky little details that make your pet your pet. It also gives both of us a chance to make sure we’re the right fit!

​

We believe great care starts with connection. Consultations are a required part of The Pet Bestie’s onboarding and are $50 for a 30-minute in-person visit.

“A breath of fresh air”

“Finding a reliable pet sitter is usually stressful, but Kim is always a breath of fresh air. The level of care provided is truly exceptional. From the start, the communication has been consistent and detailed, which gives us such peace of mind while we are away.

 

It is clear that Kim does not just see this as a job. She genuinely cares about our pets on a personal level and takes the time to understand their unique quirks. Kim is quite adept at working with animals with behavior challenges as well. We even receive thoughtful follow-up messages. We cannot recommend Kim enough.”

Drop-in visits

Dogs, cats, even the occasional tortoise — we’ve got a drop-in visit for every kind of pet! No matter their routine or personality, we’ll show up with care tailored to what they need most.

WE LOVE OUR FELINE FRIENDS

The drop-in options below apply to any kind of critter, but we’d be remiss not to call out our kitty clients. (After all, cats run a pretty tight ship and expect their waitstaff to stay on schedule!)


Many of our cat parents book two drop-in visits per day, typically one in the morning and one in the evening. During our consult, we can discuss what will work best for your kitty!

Standard drop-in

Best for pets who are comfortable on their own but need a consistent check-in. For pets who benefit from more engaged time or longer visits, our extended drop-ins might be a better fit. 

PRICING:

$45 for 30 minutes

Enrichment drop-in

Great for pets who enjoy more one-on-one time, like longer play, enrichment or extra company during the day. If your pet gets lonely or a bit anxious with shorter visits, this is the option for you.

PRICING:

$58 for 45 minutes

Extended enrichment drop-in

The most complete drop-in! Perfect for higher-needs pets, multi-pet households or animals who just thrive with extra company or more substantial enrichment. Also includes light household care (like bringing in mail and tending to plants).

PRICING:

$70 for 60 minutes
