My cats and I had a wonderful experience with Comforted Kitty. Our sitter made friends with my cats on her first visit. That's right, they visit first to meet your animals and find out how to care for them. You also enter all the information in an app, so you know they have all the details to complete your requests. Our sitter did a fantastic job! Everything was done as specified. Each day of my trip, I received a full report on their daily habits and several pictures to put my mind at ease. It was worth paying a little more than you would for a neighborhood teen. Highly recommend! read more

My sitter Claudia from The Comforted Kitty was amazing!! She was so communicative and I was so confident my kitty was in good hands while I was away. The Comforted Kitty onboarding process was very thorough and professional. Highly recommend! read more

My experience with Comforted Kitty has been phenomenal. Firstly, the communication with the company's staff has been excellent from the start. I have been fortunate enough to have Christy be the sitter caring for my cat, Birdie, twice (most recently for a three day trip I took). She is everything I would hope for in someone I entrust with taking care of my sweet cat, who is like a baby to me. I am especially particular in who I trust with this responsibility! Christy is compassionate, extremely communicative, reliable and timely, patient in answering my questions, is detail-oriented when caring for Birdie, is gentle in her interactions with her, and provides a detailed report of each visit, including photos. She is extremely professional and skilled. It eases my stress tremendously knowing Birdie is under her responsible and thoughtful care during my absence. I highly recommend Comforted Kitty and Christy, and plan to use her for a couple longer trips this summer! read more

Samantha took amazing care of our cat while we were away during the holiday season. From day one, her communication was excellent. She sent photos and updates after every visit, so we always knew our cat was happy and comfortable. What really impressed us was her attention to detail. She kept our cat pampered with brushing sessions and plenty of pets and cuddles. It was clear from her messages that she genuinely enjoyed spending time with our kitty. Samantha also provided a detailed report on our cat habits while we were gone. This level of care gave us so much peace of mind. She went above and beyond in other ways too, like taking out our trash after her last visit without us even asking. She followed all our instructions accurately and showed up reliably every day, even when the weather was bad. You can tell she truly cares about the pets she looks after. We'll definitely be booking Samantha again. We highly recommend her and the comforted kitty. read more

We've used The Comforted Kitty for years while gallivanting across Europe, and they're the only ones we trust with our three aristocats (Bengal-Siamese hybrids: smart, opinionated, and utterly spoiled). Their rates beat the extortion of kennels, and the cats stay in their own kingdom. Our current sitter, Linda O., is a revelation. She doesn't just feed and clean; she grooms, plays, and even reads stories to them. The daily photos she sends aren't "updates," they're art, worthy of frames and gallery walls. When we return from weeks abroad, the house is spotless, serene, and clearly loved in our absence. Linda is trustworthy, reliable, and genuinely adores our cats. The Comforted Kitty is excellent; Linda is exceptional. If you care about your cats' happiness, you want her. Full stop. read more

Claudia took wonderful care of my cat while I was away. She sent thoughtful daily updates with photos, which gave me great peace of mind, and it was clear she paid close attention to my cat's comfort and routine. By the second day, my usually shy cat had already warmed up to her and was playing, purring, and asking for attention. Claudia also kept everything tidy, brought in my mail and package, and even emptied the Litter Genie before I returned. I would be happy to have her care for Ava again and highly recommend her to other cat parents. read more

Review because I LOVE COMFORTED KITTY!! I have been using their service for just over 9 months and couldn't give better reviews! Jacki is the sitter who was assigned to me and I am SO thankful to have her! She provides daily (as I have my cat checked on daily) updates regarding food eaten, water levels, potty business and the sends the BEST photos & videos!! It gives me so much peace of mind knowing someone so great is checking on him and loves him just as much as I do! This site was a "try" the first time and now it's become a god send whenever I am traveling / out of town / or just need someone to check in and give my boy some attention! Jacki, you're the best!! THANK YOU read more

They should call their business the comforted kitty and human, because that is the magic they bring. Veronica did a fantastic job cat sitting our two needy fur babies. Kitty one is a sassy 17-year old who is extremely motivated by food and petting. Kitty two acts like a shy, "hide in the shadows" kitty the first few days and then becomes an attention deprived kitty who follows you around everywhere with a not so subtle plea for belly rubs. We very much enjoyed and looked forward to the daily emails Veronica sent us, with several pics and laugh out loud updates. She stayed with our kitties for an hour, during which she administered medication, gave food and water, cleaned out their litter boxes, and gave them lots of petting and attention. She also took out the stinky trash. Booking was quite easy. After sending a request via their website, we were asked to download an app that allowed us to input all info and instructions on our cats. We also received a phone call to schedule a meet and greet with the assigned cat sitter before we took off on our trip. It allowed us to really explain things fully and become a comforted human. Veronica asked all the right info and was highly respectful of our home and time. Pricing was very transparent. We were able to pay through the app. read more

This was my first time seeking pet sitting via the comforted kitty and was very happy with their service. I have a very social cat that needs a lot of attention - our old cat sitter was very neglectful, which caused a lot of unnecessary stress. Brenda from the comforted kitty was really great, she was very communicative and sent daily updates. My cat seemed very happy and relaxed when we came back from our trip. It was also very easy to book appointments via their app. Would definitely recommend! read more

I was in a small panic for my cat Finn. I was extremely anxious about having to be away the first weekend we had just moved to San Jose. Finn was still stressed about all his routines being disrupted, a new home, etc., and I legitimately had worries he might not cope well enough even with auto-feeder, water fountain. Thankfully, I was able to find The Comforted Kitty as an option for pet sitting, and it really put my mind more at ease for the weekend, knowing that someone who cares and likes cats watching over Finn. Xiomara Quinonez was my cat sitter and she did a phenomenal job with taking care of my skittish cat. I thought Finn would just hide in a corner despite her best attempts, but no; she was actually able to coerce my fearful boy come out and interact! Xiomara gave many pets, as well as routine updates with many pictures of the visit. In one of the picture, Finn actually rolled to his back and exposed a bit of his belly! Shocked! In any case, I was happy and Finn was happy, so I definitely recommend this service and Xiomara, and will be using them for the foreseeable future. Thanks! read more

The Comforted Kitty Company and especially Marilee, deserve ten stars. From the beginning of the first in-home visit to the every day that I was traveling, I felt reassured that they would take of my senior cat like he was staying at a four-star resort. The onboarding process was very organized and comprehensive. Marilee took note of where all the supplies were located and knew to gather details I had never thought of before. She is a cat whisperer, and coaxed my shy cat out of hiding. She also successfully administered his daily pill and ear cream. Each day, she sent helpful detailed updates, regarding food intake, litter box use, and cute pics. read more

The comforted Kitty service was amazing! We had multiple weekends where we needed last minute cat sitting, and they were able to find us a wonderful sitter right away. The sitter, Lloyd, was fantastic with our cat and sent really detailed messages every single day along with great pictures read more

Our kittens had only been with us a few weeks before we booked this service, so naturally we were a little apprehensive about how they would be. We met with Amy beforehand and she definitely put my mind at ease. The cats really took to her (even our skittish one!) and the service she provided was top notch. She kept in touch through the visit and sent pictures and even videos which were very much appreciated. Overall we are 110% satisfied with the service Amy and the company provided. We will definitely be using them again in the future (hopefully Amy is available again!) and recommending them to friends and family. read more

My first time hiring a cat sitter for my new cat, had her a week and went on a planned trip. I feel like I won the cat sitter lottery with Comforted Kitty in Sacramento. Tracy, the cat sitter was absolutely, positively the best thing that could have happened. By providing the daily updates and pictures, I was assured Morticia the Cat was getting the best care. All of the things I hoped for happened: Clean litter box, fresh water, fresh food, in additon to provding some extra help with a slow feeding bowl as Morticia the Cat is a fast eater, never a good thing and this option slows her down. The recomendation for feeding tubes was appreciated as well. Tracy the Cat Sitter and Morticia the Cat became friends, meeting again for an upcoming trip. The services provided by Tracy and Comforted Kitty are the best and recommend this service, absolutely, positiviely! read more

It's hard to sum up peace of mind but that's what this service provides. It's easy, communicative, thorough, and worth it... While we've had Daniel for almost all our visits we can say everyone who has visited and the administrative side is great. Peace of mind. read more

In my first experience with The Comforted Kitty, Natalie was a fantastic sitter for my cat George during my 11-day trip. She provided thorough daily reports with photos and videos that went above and beyond what I expected. And from what I could tell, she followed my instructions for feeding (with a ratioed prescription diet), replenishing water, cleaning litter, petting, etc. Would happily use them again! read more

Genna was so awesome with my kitties! She kept them fed, happy and kept me informed with cute pictures. Mr. Toby really loved her right away!! The app was really helpful keeping track of everything. Highly recommend and will definitely use them again! So happy with their services! read more

Karen C recently cared for my two cats which required following special instructions because of my foster cat's unique eating behaviors. She was able to draw both cats out and interact with them each day which was wonderful since they can be shy around strangers. Daily updates kept me apprised of how things were going and adjustments she made to ensure both cats were taken care of.. And I returned home to happy cats and everything in its place. This was my first time with the Comforted Kitty. The app provides a one stop shop for scheduling, providing instructions, receiving daily updates (including a notification when Karen had arrived) and invoicing which I really liked. And it was easy to update when I needed to make a change. The ability to have a separate bio on each cat so I could provide info on their diet, behavior, who to contact etc. was very useful. And I could reach out to staff who quickly helped with administrative questions. All in all a really good intro and experience! I have already booked my next service with The Comforted Kitty and Karen C. read more

We had a great experience with this cat sitting company! Our sitter, Debbie, was wonderful. She stopped by for 30-minute visits to feed our 3 cats and check in on them, and everything went smoothly. She was very helpful, responsive, and made us feel at ease while we were away. Always sent photos and updated us with how they were. We'll definitely be using their service again! Highly recommend. read more

Overall very happy with The Comforted Kitty service and I will definitely use them again! The whole process was very professional and comprehensive. The team was very responsive and timely. This was one of the reasons we picked the comforted kitty over other cat sitting services. It was very easy to onboard and schedule cat sitting service. Pricing was very competitive and reasonable as well! It was the most rounded cat sitting service in all the options that I considered in the San Jose area. We were matched with Xiomara to look after our 2 cats for a 4 days vacation. Xiomara was very professional and experienced in handling everything. She followed the instructions thoroughly for each step from feeding, cleaning up the litter boxes, and playing with the cats. She was also comprehensive in providing updates with pictures. She was able to administrate oral medication for our cat without issues and struggling as well! This was our top worry and Xiomara handled it fantastically. We are very happy to have Xiomara taking care of our cats. If you're using The Comforted Kitty and are matched with Xiomara, you are in good hands! read more

Mary did a fantastic job of pet sitting our 3 cats. She clearly cares about the animals so much. The updates were great; I was fully confident the whole time I was gone that she was taking good care of them. read more

Adrien is paws-itively the best cat sitter you can find! She has taken care of my cat, Carlton, a few times and each experience has been exceptional. Carlton is a shy cat who is hard to get to at first, but Adrien is very patient and gentle so Carlton learned to trust her instantly. Before the sit, Adrien asks clarification questions to ensure she has all the necessary information. After each sit, she provides detailed word, photo, and video updates, so you always know how your furry friend is doing. We always enjoy reading her short essays on how she and Carlton spend time together, which are both funny and witty. Adrien goes above and beyond, leaving little gifts for the cat and a handwritten card, making each visit special. She even reports on the grams of dry food left in bowls, the number of clumps of litter in the litter box daily, the flavors of canned food fed, and the amount and variety of treats given. Adrien ensures not only that Carlton is happy and well-cared for, but also that the house is in tip-top shape. Her dedication and attention to detail are unmatched. I will miss her dearly knowing that she is moving away soon, but I highly recommend her to anyone in need of a reliable and caring cat sitter. read more

I was heartbroken when my trusted cat sitter for my three kitty boys moved away. The thought of entrusting my cats to someone new was so nerve-wracking! I have only ever had a close friend care for my kitties, so finding a new sitter felt overwhelming. With a mix of hope and hesitation, I dove into the world of cat care and discovered The Comforted Kitty. After reading countless glowing reviews and browsing their cat sitter profiles, I took a deep breath and sent a request for a 3-day trip I had coming up in a week. By the end of the day, they responded with two sitters who could care for my boys, and one of them was the incredible Cara Watkins. Let me tell you, Cara is an absolute gem! Two days before my trip, Cara and I met, and her warm, calming presence instantly put me at ease. She was so attentive, soaking up every detail about my kitties' needs and personalities. During my trip, Cara kept me in the loop with updates, pictures, and detailed emails about how she and my boys were getting along. She was a total hit with them--even my two shyer ones, who are usually tough to win over, even with treats (though my oldest would follow anyone out the door with a smile)! Knowing my cats were in such good hands gave me such peace of mind. I cannot thank Cara and The Comforted Kitty enough for the extraordinary care they provided. Cara's kindness, patience, and genuine love for my boys went above and beyond my expectations. As someone who travels often for work, I now have the ultimate gift: complete confidence that my kitties are in the best possible hands. The Comforted Kitty and Cara are the best, and I am beyond grateful to have found them! read more

I have used Comforted Kitty since 2017, when Dan the owner lived just a short walk from us and was just beginning to branch out and add sitters other than himself. It's been really wonderful to see the growth in his business, especially in being able to keep the values that he held and instill them in what is now a much larger, multi-state business. I have two Maine Coons and travel often. One of them is very picky, very shy, very untrusting of strangers and really takes a long time to warm up - but she's such a sweetheart when she does. The other is the life of the party and center of attention. My sitter for a couple of years has consistently been Emily. What a dream she is! The aforementioned very shy kitty (Pinot)? ....Emily has taken much care and time during her visits to approach Pinot on her own time, and within her own comfort zone. Pinot only comes out when she is really trusting. I remember the first time Emily sent an update that Pinot had come out and let her pet her - what a day that was! It warned my heart because I know just how difficult that was. And it proved that Emily was treating Pinot well. That's everything we want, as pet owners - for our furry family to be cared for as if we were doing it ourselves, when we can't be there. I highly recommend Comforted Kitty because it's not just any petsitting service. They GET cats, and it shows. read more

We used Comforted Kitty in October 2025 for an almost 5 day vacation for my husband's birthday. The service was amazing--it was easy for me to book while balancing caring for my toddler, the app was easy to use, the sitter we were paired with was exceptional and they even adjusted our invoice while we were on vacation when our flight was delayed and we had to drop a visit. Definitely will be using again. read more

We found The Comforted Kitty about a year ago when were in search of a new pet sitter for our two kitties after moving to San Jose. In our previous home, we had used Rover and while our sitter on that platform was also great, it is such a different experience knowing that any sitter on The Comforted Kitty is cat-focused, knowledgeable, and appreciates how cats have different needs than dogs. We've used Laura P. twice and she is SO fantastic. Her communication is top-notch, she has excellent attention to detail (even when the instructions are complicated!) and sends the cutest kitty photos and videos while we're gone. I always get a little anxiety when we go on vacation and have to leave our cats (they're my babies!!) but Laura always instills confidence that they're in the most excellent hands. If you're a cat parent, I can't recommend The Comforted Kitty enough for pet setting! read more

I'm very pleased to have found The Comforted Kitty (here on yelp!) It was the first time I had left my two young cats alone more than overnight and I was nervous. Saturday was my sitter and they did a fantastic job caring for my cats and keeping me in the loop with daily text and photo updates. Next time I have to leave my cats, I will unquestionably call on The Comforted Kitty (and Saturday if they are available.) read more

I've used The Comforted Kitty five times now for our two cats. Our regular sitter is Stacie, and she is fabulous with our kitties. She spoils the shy cat, even feeding him under the bed, and plays with our active cat. I like that there's an app where our sitters send detailed reports every day, including photos. The admin team is great and quick to respond. Since finding this service, we've had a lot less stress about leaving home and knowing our cats will be well cared for by Stacie and the team at Comforted Kitty. read more

Eddie was absolutely fantastic taking care of our young cat, Kermie. It was clear from the start that Eddie had a good connection to animals and Kermie immediately took a liking to him. Eddie was thoughtful in our initial walk-through and made sure to go over many details that we had forgotten about. He also offered to help with other tasks like bringing in mail, taking out the trash and watering our plants. We gladly took him up on these offers and Eddie took great care of the house in addition to the cat. More generally, I really liked the overall booking and sitting experience with TheComfortedKitty. Their app is nice and you get live notifications of what is happening. We were able to communicate effortlessly with Eddie. Additionally, I really liked that the sitter was local. Other services suggest that a sitter is local when really they are quite far away. Eddie was actually able to walk to our place. Overall 10/10, would highly recommend. We will be using this service (and hopefully Eddie) again in the future! read more

Julia was an amazing cat sitter for my cat! She visited four times while I was away and went above and beyond--spending extra time playing with her and making sure she felt loved and comfortable. I got regular updates and photos, which gave me total peace of mind. I came home to a happy, relaxed cat and everything in perfect order. Julia is kind, reliable, and clearly a true cat and animal lover. This is my 2nd time booking her and have already booked her for the next trip! I highly recommend her to anyone looking for great cat sitter! read more

I had an amazing experience with Maria as my cat sitter--it was my first time leaving my boys and Maria made sure I was kept updated with daily reports and pictures and videos, and it helped alleviate a lot of my worries! Maria made sure to document the food she fed them, their bathroom usage and any other things she did during her visit. My cats ended up really bonding with her and loved coming out to greet her during her visits. I'm so grateful to Maria and Comforted Kitty for helping me feel stress-free during my vacation! I will definitely be booking The Comforted Kitty the next time I'm away! read more

Where do I start?? The most amazing gift is someone like Linda O. who took such great care of our 3 kitties so that we could travel with peace of mind! She sends wonderful updates about how they are doing and her pictures capture their unique personalities. She checks in early, sent a thank you card afterwards, and even watered a few plants, brought out the trash cans etc. She made connections with each kitty in meaningful ways, and was able to get them eating regularly while we are away which family sitters could not do consistently. I cannot express our gratitude for this amazing company! They ask detailed questions so that everything is thought of ahead of time. Thank you all for this niche of providing care for kitties who have unique needs! read more

I have used the comforted kitty for the second time and this warrants a review. My assigned pet sitter, Angie is absolutely AMAZING! She is responsive, follows instructions, and most of all, my cat loves her so much!! Using this service definitely puts me at ease when I'm away on vacation and getting live updates is a great perk. The comforted kitty is a very reliable service, w fair prices and I highly recommend them. I will not be looking elsewhere for pet sitting services. Thank you so much! read more

First rate experience when Debbie came to our house to check our year old, very shy, little fur baby while we were out of town over a long weekend. They have info on each sitter on their website. Debbie has a lot of experience working with cats and we were lucky she was available for us. The app takes a little time to type in all the requested info, but now the sitter has all the info needed for each different client without needing amazing memory from a meet and greet weeks prior. The app generates a text and/or email (configurable) when sitter arrives and another when they leave with a status message. read more

I am a very anxious and overprotective pet owner so I was nervous about securing a pet sitter for my two young kittens. I am a first time cat owner so I was extra detailed when researching for a cat sitter. I love that The Comforted Kitty is focused on caring for cats. We used their services twice now. One was an overnight trip and the other was for 1 week. I also appreciate that the org and each sitter are insured. I love that The Comforted Kitty requires a meet and greet with your sitter before the first scheduled visit. It really helped us feel more comfortable and to see how the cats react. Our sitter was Laura P. and she was so amazing. We scheduled for her to come twice a day. She has a calm demeanor and seemed to really care about my cats. She played with them, fed them, and cleaned up their bowls and litter. She sent a lot of photos after each visit - not just for the day but for each visit. Our cats are wary of strangers but Pie liked Laura right away - even flopping on the floor! Piper is more cautious but loves to play. I was surprised that by the third visit or so she was playing with Laura, and flipping over on her back. I especially liked the way The Comforted Kitty's app shows a checklist of what was done after each visit. The app also saves conversations between you and the sitter so it's nice to look back if you need to find something. Overall, it's been a great experience! I believe they do their best to get the same sitter each time. This was super important to me since my girls seem to really like Laura. read more

I have used the Comforted Kitty twice this year and it has been a wonderful experience so far! Angelina was the one who looked after our kitties while we were away both times and she was fantastic! She is great at keeping us updated on the kitties. She sent us updates and photos everyday and my kitties warmed up to her super quickly, which is quite rare because of them are both pretty shy. Will be using them again this December, it so nice to know that my fur babies will be well looked after while I'm away! read more

I've been working with the Comforted Kitty for several years now and have loved all the experiences I've had. Initially, I worked with Daniel as my sitter. When I first booked, he scheduled a time to come over before my trip to go over all logistics etc. Later as he transitioned into a more managerial role, I worked with Poppy. I've now been working with Jim for the last couple of years. Jim is my fantastic cat "manny"! He is super reliable, detail oriented and always gives me a clear and concise report about how things are going for my tuxedo twins while I'm gone. I trust him implicitly with my two most prized possessions and would highly recommend him and the Comforted Kitty looking for the peace of mind of knowing that you kitties are well cared for while you are out and about. read more

I would book Leah and Comforted Kitty again for my next trip out of town. You guys are the best!! read more
