Professional & Experienced

"What I love most about cats is their unique blend of independence and affection. They have a way of keeping you on your toes while still offering the most heartwarming cuddles when they choose to share their love."

About Anke K.

Hello! I’m Anke —your cat’s new favorite person! 🐈 As a lifelong animal lover, I have always felt a special connection with cats. They are quirky, independent, and full of personality—kind of like me. I have been around cats my whole life, from the sassy tabby that would nap on the windowsill to my current crew of furry companions Lucky and Tulie, who keep me entertained with their adorable antics and who have fast become my online clients’ favorite distraction. So whether your cat loves to curl up and snooze or prefers to zoom around the house, I’ve got it covered! When I’m not spoiling my own cats with treats and attention, I’m hiking, meditating, doing Improv Theater, watching movies or doing game nights with friends. I’m a firm believer that balance is key—there is always time for a little adventure or creativity, but there is always room for some cozy cuddle sessions too. I’m also a licensed marriage and family therapist in my main profession, so I enjoy the cuddle time with my four legged furry friends even more as a balance to sometimes heavy human interactions. What sets me apart as a cat sitter is my attention to detail and commitment to making sure that your cat feels at home while you are away. I’m committed to treating your cats just like I would want my own to be treated, to make sure that they are well taken care of and always feel safe and comfortable. I’m always on time and take great pride in following the instructions you provide to the letter. Whether it’s feeding your cat at their regular times, giving them their medication if needed, or ensuring their litter box stays fresh and clean, I’m here to take care of all the little things. I understand that routines are important, so I make sure to stick to yours exactly as you have requested. In addition to providing excellent cat care, I’m happy to take care of a few extra household tasks, like bringing in the mail or watering your plants, so you can enjoy your time away knowing that everything is in good hands. I also love sending updates, including pictures and videos, so you can see your cat having fun while you’re gone. If your cat needs someone who’s reliable, detail-oriented, and always up for a snuggle (or a game of laser pointer chase!), I’m your person. Let’s chat, and I can’t wait to meet your feline friend!

What Clients Say About Anke K.

"I couldn’t be happier with Anke as my cat sitter! As a friend, I already knew she was caring and responsible, but she went above and beyond to make sure my cat felt loved and comfortable while I was away. Daily updates, adorable pictures, and a spotless home upon my return – Anke truly treated my cat like family. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate sitter!"

"I was extremely nervous about leaving my very shy kitty for 8 days. I needn't have worried. We hired Anke through Comforted Kitty and what a blessing! She sent updates every day and many pictures and videos. It was so reassuring to see that my kitty was being well-taken care of. The enrollment process to use this service is very thorough. I was impressed with the details questions, such as where my cat hides when she is scared. I highly recommend this group, and if you can get Anke to care for your cat(s), make sure to ask for her."

"This was our first time leaving our cats for an extended period, and we were definitely nervous — but choosing The Comforted Kitty was the best decision we could’ve made! The whole process was smooth, from scheduling to payment. Their office staff is very responsive and easy to work with. You get to do a meet and greet with your sitter so you can really feel comfortable with who will be in your home. We really hit the jackpot with Anke as our sitter — she’s an absolute cat whisperer! One of our cats is super shy and the other is playful but not used to being alone. Somehow, she won over both, even coaxing our shy one out from under the bed (something we honestly didn’t expect!). She was punctual, attentive, and went above and beyond — sending us lots of videos and photos that gave us real peace of mind. Thanks to her, we could actually relax and enjoy our vacation and return to a well taken care of home. We’re already looking forward to booking Anke again!"

"I was so lucky to have Anke helping with my cats. One of my cats needs medicine twice a day. It is a very challenging job to feed him the meds. Anke was very patient and tried different methods to gain his trust. My cat eventually loves her and becomes best friend with her. I will for sure schedule with Anke again. It's a huge relief to me that we can have such a kind person taking care of my fur babies while we are away."

"Comforted Kitty Pet Sitting made it so easy to find a great cat sitter. While we were away, our amazing sitter Anke sent us so many cute pictures and videos of our cat playing with them and having fun in their care. We can’t wait to book again for our next trip!"

"I was matched with Anke to sit for my cat, Frida, and she's amazing! Frida has a strict feeding schedule and Anke was able to stay overnight in addition to a drop in during the day to accommodate that schedule. She always kept me informed with a report and photos/videos. As an older cat, Frida is pretty set in her ways, so a change in the routine is difficult. Anke let Frida warm up to her on her own terms. And she was genuinely concerned about making Frida comfortable and making sure she was cared for. I would absolutely have Anke as my pet sitter again!"

"I recently moved to the south SF Bay Area from Colorado and we had a great cat sitting company there, a local place that was high quality. I was skeptical I would find a similar business when we moved, but I've been very impressed with the Comforted Kitty and Anke as our cat sitter! The company makes it easy to book and communicate through their Time to Pet portal, and payments can be scheduled automatically as well. We picked Anke for our cat sitter and she was phenomenal... great attention to detail, lots of photos and videos of our cats every day, very communicative and responsible. We felt very comfortable leaving our two middle aged cats in her care. Our cats usually don't like new people and are nervous/sad when we go on vacation, but they had happy tails in all photos. One cat needs daily medicine and that wasn't an issue for Anke either. We will definitely re-book with this company!"

"I had a wonderful experience with The Comforted Kitty. The entire process was smooth, professional, and very well organized from start to finish. The company was responsive, reliable, and clearly cares deeply about both pets and pet parents. Knowing my cat was in such attentive and loving hands gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. I would absolutely use their services again and highly recommend them."
