I had a wonderful experience with The Comforted Kitty. Tracy Grumet was amazing. It was my first time booking a cat-sitting service, and I was worried about how my cat would handle it since she's normally very shy around strangers. However, she quickly warmed up to Tracy. Each day she sent detailed updates and photos. I felt at peace knowing my kitty was happy and being taking care of by someone who also loves cats. Thank you Tracy. read more

We used the Comforted Kitty for our two elderly cats when we were out of town for over a week. Tracy was amazing! She met with us before the trip to ensure everything was covered. She checked on the cats daily, sat and played with them, and sent us texts and photos. We will definitely use Comforted Kitty for future trips. read more

My first time using the service for my new cat and could not say enough yet about everything provided. My specific cat sitter, Tracy, was always in touch, sent pictures and provided some suggestions which was awesome. I am a comforted kitty fan and will be using them every time I travel in the future read more

We LOVE the Comforted Kitty-- particularly Carly, whose services we used recently when we traveled internationally for a week. We were extremely nervous to allow a total stranger into our home with our cat, who is a very shy girl. We had only ever had friends come stay with her and on those occasions, it took her at least a few days to come out of hiding. Finding an available personal contact for this upcoming trip was turning up blanks, though, and we did not want to board her, for fear she would think she was back at a shelter, as she had been when we adopted her. And so we rather grudgingly made an appointment to meet with Carly and see we if it might be a good fit. From the start, before we even met, we had a good feeling. Carly is immediately both professional and personable in her communications. We arranged for her to come after work one evening and she showed up promptly on time. She never made us feel rushed as we went through all the steps that would be needed to care for our girl, as well as all the personality quirks that make her who she is. Carly did not seem daunted; she seemed perfectly suited for the job. A few weeks later and it was time to go! It was going to be an epic trip for us, going to a bucket-list location, and yet, there was that nagging sense of worry about leaving our cat in an empty house. We couldn't help but second-guess our decision. But Carly made it incredibly easy. The updates came quickly and completely. Even though she was only catching glimpses of our cat, she was finding her each time she came to the house and sending photos to prove it. She was also assuring us that everything else was in very good order-- water clean and refreshed, litter scooped, treats dispensed, auto-feeder functioning. By Visit 3, the absolute unexpected happened: our cat came out of hiding to allow Carly to pet her. We almost fell over from shock and joy. It sealed the deal: Comforted Kitty is our go-to for in-house cat care and if possible, Carly is our gal. Do not hesitate to book them! read more

This is a terrific service! We have two kittens who were well cared for by Maila while we were traveling for a week. Maila checked in with us when she arrived at the house, and sent us photos and videos daily of the kittens playing. We also received a daily checklist for each kitten. When we arrived home, the litter boxes were clean, food was in the dishes, and the garbage had been taken out. Everything was perfect. I am so happy we decided to go with a cat sitter. read more

The Comforted Kitty - Quimby in her favorite box. - Pet Sitting Near Me

My petsitter, Diane, took excellent care of my many cats, including a feral kitty outdoors and two foster kittens. She let me know what she had done and sent pictures of my cats. Everything was clean and tidy when I returned home. read more

I have used The Comforted Kitty for the last two years and have been really pleased with their services. My most recent sitter, Tracy G. was superior! Of course my boys (cats) were the number one priority which she followed through exceedingly-my main comment is really about the fact that I can leave the boys in her care and not have a worry in the world. I can go on vacation and thoroughly enjoy myself because I know the boys are be cared for in their own home. Tracy checked in with me each time she visited and that gave me comfort that my cats were doing great in her care. The Comforted Kitty is really the way to go when needing a pet sitting service! Thank you Tracy!! read more

The Comforted Kitty is the best! Easy to set up and schedule. Very thorough in ensuring our needs were met. Tracy, our cat sitter, did a great job and we felt peace of mind while on our trip. Highly recommend!! read more

This review is long overdue. We are new in town and don't know anyone. Boarding our cats was not an option, as our girl is stressed by any car rides and our already new environment. When I found out about The Comforted Kitty, I did tons of research on their company and client reviews. This place is insured, bonded, and they require background checks on their employees. Additionally, we appreciate the flexibility for any kind of overnight or check-in cat sitting. During the scheduling process we received a lot of information, as well as questions about what we would need for our cats while we were away. Responses from Dan, the owner and founder, as well as his team were quick and extremely helpful. When our sitter Tracy came for our meet and greet I instantly felt comfortable knowing that our cats would be safe and happy in her care. She told me about her experience being around animals her whole life, and how she still cares for her parents' animals. My girl was instantly intrigued by her, and our shy kitten warmed up to her by the last few visits. Tracy was attentive, and communicative the whole time. When we came home from our four day trip, our cats were happy and totally unfazed by our absence. We look forward to using this service again for our next big trip, and hope to get matched with Tracy again as our sitter. read more

The Comforted Kitty - Daily communication from our cat sitter Tracy - Pet Sitting Near Me

Comforted Kitty's website and app make scheduling a pet sitter easy and convenient. Afton has watched our kitty, Daisy, multiple times and we love that she dotes on her as much as we do. Our cat is very social and we know that Afton will pet and cuddle with her, besides simply taking care of tasks like cleaning the little box. Each day Afton sends us a narrative of the visit and pictures of our Daisy, which gives us peace of mind. read more

The Comforted Kitty is amazing, especially my sitter, Diane. I'm sure that all of the sitters are as careful as she is, but this is a review for Diane. Last week, my power went out while I was away. Without even asking, Diane put two bowls of water out for my kitties in case their electric water fountain shut off. She cleaned up without me asking, too, and I came home to a clean apartment. This was my second time with her and will definitely book with her again! read more

Yes! Cynthia is awesome. This is the second time she has cared for our fur bud. Very thorough and loving.

I've never left my cat with someone I didn't know personally but the professionalism of The Comforted Kitty and the fact that they cater to cats made me feel much more at ease! I have a senior kitty that has asthma and kidney disease but still makes the occasional run for the door when he sees an opportunity! I got to meet Maila before leaving for my trip and she was super sweet and excited to spend time w my cat! She was super communicative and sent lots of pictures while I was away. Things could not have gone better and I'm so grateful for her! read more

Savannah with the Comforted Kitty was amazing before, during, and after taking care of our two cats while we were out of town. She was extremely responsive to our questions before and during her first visit to meet us and the cats, and she was also extremely attentive during her visits while we were gone. She was actually able to coax our shy cat into a friendship, and she sent us updates with beautiful pictures. She followed up after her last visit as well. I highly recommend her and the Comforted Kitty to anyone seeking a cat sitter. Thank you Savannah! Kyle H read more

Nothing but good things to say about this company and our sitter, Mariann. Scheduling was easy, their app is VERY complete and asks a lot of questions you might not think about (where to take the cats if they're sick, where do they like to hide, etc). We had previously been boarding our two cats when we went on travel, at a cost of nearly $800 a week. When we drop them off they were always scare, and when we picked them up they were stressed for days after we brought them back home. Additionally, having a third cat meant that we couldn't board all three together at almost any boarding service - we'd have to pick two cats to keep together in one "condo" and put the other cat off on their own! After our preferred boarding place closed, we looked at cat sitter or services. Most of them seemed sketchy, but Comforted Kitty actually seemed aboveboard and interested in the cat's welfare. One thing I loved was that thy do not let you request "every other day" visits, which I think is good. Leaving an animal alone for that long is not safe, especially when they are already stressed and missing you! Additionally, they require a "meet and greet" between the sitter and your cats, to make sure they get along with and recognize your sitter. Our sitter (Mariann) was amazing! Twice a day she would send us photos of the cats, update us on how much food each of them ate, clean their litter boxes, refill their water and food, and play with them (and give them treats, which our babies loved!) so they didn't feel alone. The first visit the cats seemed unsure and worried, probably because we had just left them alone, but by the second time Mariann visited they came right out to see her and were excited to play! We were gone for 5 days and when we got back the house was clean, the litter boxes were cleaned, and all three cats were happily sitting in their window perches and heated beds, not stressed at all. Overall it was obviously a massively more positive experience for them, even for our anxious cat who normally won't come out near new people! The benefits of having the cats be babysat at home were immense - they got to have all their own preferred foods, no stress from being in a strange place, someone they trusted visiting and playing with them, all their toys were there to play with instead of having to bring one or two and worrying that they'd get lost, and obviously the cats also had MASSIVELY more space to play and sleep in, compared to the condos at the boarding places. Overall we could not be happier with Comforted Kitty and with Mariann. We told her to hold on to our house key, because we'll be asking her to cat-sit for us every time we went on vacation going forward! read more

I have nothing but great things to say about The Comforted Kitty and my sitter, Carly! My fiance and I were going out of the country and are always very nervous when we leave our two cats behind. We initially set up a consultation session where we were assigned Carly. It was very easy coordinating schedules and the visit went over so well! I love that this is something they offer - I think it helps everyone feel more comfortable. The Comforted Kitty is also extremely thorough with their paperwork which made me feel better knowing that every piece of information they could possibly need was on file. Carly was very communicative and always made sure to send detailed updates and pictures - even when the cats were hiding under the bed! Our cats aren't social with strangers but they both came around to Carly by the end of her scheduled visits which is a testament to her comforting energy :) Even being so far away from our cats we both felt at ease and trusted Carly and the amazing services The Comforted Kitty provides. I can not recommend The Comforted Kitty Cat Sitting services enough! read more

10/10 Highly Recommend! We couldn't be happier to have found Comforted Kitty and Maegan. Our kitty has a lot of anxiety and is easily stressed so we feel very guilty and uneasy having to leave him alone when we go out of town. He didn't do well at previous pet hotels where he was forced to be in a very small box for days. I was desperate to find an acceptable cat sitting service. In comes Comforted Kitty to the rescue. I submitted a request online (a very easy process) and soon got a response that we had been assigned to Maegan. We first had a "Meet and Greet" weeks prior to our vacation. We could tell right away that Maegan is very knowledgable about providing care to cats and this made us feel good knowing that our little Pumpkin is in good hands while we're away. We have used Comforted Kitty twice now and have already scheduled a third service. Each time, we have requested Maegan because she's the best! Her communication is excellent - providing us consistent updates (even photos!) about each visit on how Pumpkin is doing. Through our communication, we were able to give her tips on how to get Pumpkin more at ease. She also was able to give him his anti-anxiety medication without any problems. Maegan goes above and beyond and even tries to coordinate the timing of her visits based on our flight departure and arrival times. In addition, Comforted Kitty also uses the "Time to Pet" app that pretty much organizes all the information (ie. Pumpkin's habits, calendar of scheduled visits, emergency contacts, etc). It makes everything so convenient. In summary, if you love your cat(s), there's only one way to go - Comforted Kitty. Dan and Maegan will have your and your kitties' backs :) read more

The Comforted Kitty - Pumpkin hanging out with Maegan - Pet Sitting Near Me

The comforted kitty has been a lifesaver for me. I travel often and sometimes with short notice and they are flexible with my last minute requests. Annette has been my sitter and she always does such a good job with my kitties. She plays with them and makes sure they have supplies and a clean potty area. I definitely recommend using their services so your pets can stay in their home environment which is comfortable for them. I will continue to use Comforted kitty and am happy to know they service different locations throughout California. read more

Cynthia from The Comforted Kitty is wonderful with our two fur babies. I love that the same person comes to care for them when we have to be away. She is very caring and conscientious. One of our senior kitties recently started having to take medication and Cynthia just took it in stride and seemed to manage better than I do! I am very happy to have found this cat sitting service. Have used them several times now and will continue to do do. read more

We've had a tough time finding a reliable car sitter that can get along with our cat but that has all changed now that we found Mariann with The Comforted Kitty. He is sometimes shy or grumpy but Mariann was able to get him comfortable enough to play! It was a big breakthrough. You can see all the services provided and even pictures of your pet through the app, it is fantastic. We are so happy with Mariann and The Comforted Kitty and have a renewed peace of mind when we need to leave our little guy on his own from time to time. read more

Sidney is a gem! We have a tough time finding a sitter we can trust with our special needs senior kitties, but we were at such ease on vacation knowing they were in her care. Early mornings, funny cat routines, and even insulin shots for our skittish little boy - done perfectly! She sent photos with every visit and an update on how much they ate and what they were up to. Indeed a gift to have such a reputable and responsible company here for the cats of Sacramento! Thanks for the excellent care! -Molly, Brian, Mercury, and Mushu read more

Diane from The Comforted Kitty has taken care of our cats six times and we are so thankful to have someone who clearly loves animals take care of them while we are away. When we had to unexpectedly change our plans, Diane responded immediately and had our cats covered. They respond to requests quickly and have a thorough on boarding process. Thanks for giving us peace of mind when we are away! read more

We used Comforted Kitty for our first long trip since the outset of COVID - two full weeks. We have three cats and I will admit they are not the easiest going kitties out there. One grumpy old lady; one shy loner; and one goofball - couldn't be more different. Our assigned sitter, Garrett, was great with all three. His reports were always there and boy did he try to make friends with all of them. I was expecting the regular daily report of cleaned up, fed, everything okay. Garrett went a step further and let us know about his interactions and we were able to give him tips along the way that could help the kitties trust him a bit more. After we returned - he reached out to make sure that everything was okay. Really was going the extra step. I admit to always being nervous about leaving our kitties - but Garrett and Comforted Kittie did a great job. read more

Cynthia did an excellent job looking after our kitties during our vacation before New Year's Eve. She made sure the cats had a lots of company after she fed them. I would definitely recommend her services for a pet sitting. read more

This was my first time ever hiring a cat sitter and I had a wonderful experience with the comforted kitty. I had Phoebe as a sitter over the holiday weekend and she was fantastic! I'm a very nervous pet parent and will often check my pet cameras several times a day when I'm gone to see how they are doing. However after the first few visits from Phoebe I stopped checking them as much since I could tell they were in good hands. Phoebe would send detailed messages after every visit complete with pictures and in those pictures I could tell that my cats were happy and well taken care of. After I returned from my trip my cats were happy to see me but didn't seem as stressed or agitated as they've been in the past when I've come back from a trip. Also the house was exactly as I left it, plus food dishes were filled and the litter box was clean. Also Phoebe left a very sweet card with pictures of my cats for me I have no complaints and will be using this company again in the future! Highly recommend. read more

The Comforted Kitty - A picture she sent of my kitten playing with his toy - Pet Sitting Near Me

I found The Comforted Kitty when I was new in town and needed a pet sitter but had no one to ask for a recommendation. I was happy to find someone that is bonded and insured, as they would be coming into my home when I was away. I have used them several times and am always very happy. Mariann, my regular cat sitter, genuinely seems to love my cats! She sends daily texts and photos, and I can tell she is playing and interacting with them. The booking process is easy, and I like being able to select the time of day of the visits. I wish the California rates were a little cheaper, but it's still less expensive and much less stressful than boarding 2 cats. I definitely recommend the Comforted Kitty. read more

Hey there. I'm a review reader, too. I wanted to write this review for my new amazing catsitter Cynthia from the Comforted Kitty because I know how it feels to be looking for the just right person to care for my beloved but very shy cats when I'm away. I also read a LOT of reviews before I decided to try out The Comforted Kitty. I booked with Cynthia, and she was absolutely FANTASTIC with both of my cats. Her genuine love and respect for animals shines through and within a day she was petting and playing with my older kitty Pippi and by the next day she was able to pet Tulip as well. Considering how super freaky shy both my girl kitties are, that is some great kitty whisperer magic!! I also appreciated how professionally managed The Comforted Kitty is. I felt better that they insist on being thorough in learning everything about your cat before you meet with your catsitter for the first time, from your cat's favorite toys and foods to who their regular vet is should a visit be needed while you're away. Cynthia messaged me on the app every day I was away with photos and updates that really put my mind at ease and even confirmed with me when I finally arrived home from my trip just in case she needed to extend her time caring for Pippi and Tulip if my flight had been delayed. Now I know my cats will be in great hands whenever I travel. If you're on the fence I recommend giving them a try! read more

Phoebe is the BEST! She truly takes such pride in her work and our kitties love her! She met with us before hand to get to know us, our cats, and our home layout. She always come on time and spends ample time cleaning up, feeding, and playing with our cats (2x a day). At the end of her visit, she sends us detailed notes and updates (with pictures). It is so fun to read all of the updates and see pictures of our cats when we are gone. We absolutely love Phoebe and do not worry about our kitties when we are away because of her! I recommend Phoebe to everyone! :) read more

The Comforted Kitty provided everything needed to care for my three kitties while my family vacationed. I researched other companies and found The Comforted Kitty to be very comparable, price wise. What makes TCK different is their wonderful people! Dan, the owner, was very helpful and our caregiver, Alex, was excellent. Alex was very kind and patient with our pets, including our sassy feral kitty. When Alex visited she would text us pictures and updates. This was very reassuring for a nervous pet parent! Alex also went above and beyond by bringing in our mail, newspapers and packages. I felt like I could really relax and enjoy my vacation because I knew both my babies and my home were being lovingly cared for by Alex. When we got home our kitties were so calm and happy it was like we never left! I will definitely use The Comforted Kitty again and encourage my family and friends to do the same. read more

Comfort Kitty has been a life saver and Sidney is the best cat sitter in town! My husband and I adopted our first cats last year and we were not sure what we were going to do when we needed to leave down to visit family. Our cats are very social and we didn't want to leave them alone for extended periods of time. Enter Comfort Kitty! We found them online and the process for setting up our first cat sitting appointment was easy and flawless. Sidney, our cat sitter, had a meet & greet with us and our cats ahead of the pet sitting. Our oldest cat immediately gravitated to her and now loves when Sidney comes to visit! And it is so nice to get pictures and updates through the app about how our cats are doing when we are away! It is such peace of mind and we can really enjoy our time away knowing that Sidney is taking care of our girls! Highly highly recommend Comfort Kitty and Sidney for any cat owners in Sacramento! Worth every penny! read more

Cynthia was an AMAZING cat sitter. She took such good care of my kitties and sent heartwarming updates and pics. She's also extremely knowledgeable and went the extra mile for my cats. You can tell she loves cats. The service is top notch and the app makes the process easy. I will be using them again. Highly recommend! read more

After relying on my neighbors to drop in and feed my cats, I decided to hire a real cat sitter. I'm so glad I found the Comforted Kitty! It's easy to request services online. Phoebe has taken care of my boys twice now and she always sends thorough updates, including pictures. I no longer worry about leaving them for longer periods of time because I trust that they will get lots of socialization and proper care. Even my super shy guy came out and visited with her on her most recent visit :) Highly recommend! read more

This was our first time using the services of not only The Comforted Kitty but also a pet sitter in general. So we weren't sure what to expect and was a little nervous. Our experience with The Comforted Kitty from start to finish was great! Dan was quick to respond confirming availability and in answering our questions. The instructions to pay was detailed and easy to follow. We had an introductory call with our assigned sitter, Annette. Annette had such a warm and friendly reaction to seeing our Kitty Girl for the first time that we knew our baby was in good care. Thank you Annette and The Comforted Kitty! read more

My boyfriend and I went on vacation for a week, and the issue of who would take care of our cats was probably what we were most worried about. They both can get pretty anxious when they're left alone, and they can be very high maintenance. We didn't have to worry at all though. Maegan took care of them like they were her own kitties and sent us updates every day. Comforted Kitty uses a system that allows the sitter to verify if the cats went to the bathroom, how much food they ate, if they brought in mail or packages, etc. It's very comprehensive, and I didn't need to ask about anything. But again, the best part was how great Maegan is with the cats, even really weird ones like Bey who are huge and poop a lot and walks underfoot to show love/trip you. It's like she was their cat Aunt lol. I would 100% recommend Comforted Kitty and Maegan, and if we go out of town for an extended amount of time, I'll reach out to Comforted Kitty again. In addition to taking care of the cats, Maegan brought our packages in and watered the plants. We truly didn't have to worry about a thing! read more

We had a great experience with Maegan as our pet sitter. She is so kind of personable, and loves cats sincerely (since she has a few of her own!) During our time away, she made sure to stay in contact with us after each visit. We got regular updates, pictures, and a few videos of our kitties. We used a lock box to do the keys/alarm, and Maegan was very conscientious in keeping everything secure. When we arrived home, the litter box area was cleaner than when we left it, and our cat seemed totally at ease, like they didn't even notice we left, haha. It's a huge relief to have someone take care of our cats in such a professional, detail oriented, and friendly way. Highly recommend Comforted Kitty, and Maegan! read more

We needed a cat sitter for a two week vacation and found the Comforted Kitty online. We loved how thorough and detailed they were!! They take a very comprehensive history of your cat which was so appreciated and made me feel like we were in really good hands. We were placed with Maegan and we were able to meet her a few weeks before our trip. Our cat Dale instantly took to her and we were immediately relieved and so happy to leave him in her hands! During our trip she gave us daily updates with pictures and videos. Not only that, but she brought in our mail and water our plants, which was so appreciated. We felt so much better having someone at our house every day to play with Dale and it was also nice that someone was checking on our house daily. Maegan was awesome and we will definitely book with Comforted Kitty again for our future vacations. The services are affordable and totally worth it!! read more
