We want to serve all our neighbors in San Francisco and the East Bay (including Alameda, Oakland, Rockridge/Piedmont, Emeryville and Berkeley) that need a cat sitter, whether with a few weeks or a few days notice. Our team absolutely loves cats and we want to make sure every cat is cared for, regardless of their needs or their human’s travel schedule.

Our Paws-itive Reviews

Erin C.

I can’t recommend this wonderful team enough! I have been using them for years now. They are extremely consistent, reliable, and the most important thing to me, they love my beloved fur baby. I appreciate the photos and detailed notes from every visit, along with the dose of love they share while spending time with the kitties. The peace of mind I have knowing she gets love AND has her food and litter box (and sometimes medication) needs met is priceless.

Tracy C.

I highly recommend Precious Fur for your cat sitting needs! I have been using them for over 5 years. I have been so pleased with the level of care they provide for our fur-babies. The post visit photos and updates sent are so appreciated and comforting. Overall, they are incredibly reliable, trustworthy, and kind. Their website is very user friendly which makes booking, bill payment, etc. a breeze. I never worry when we’re out of town about our home or pets when in their care!
