"What I love most about cats is that they are mysterious, intuitive, and exude a gentle wisdom. Whether it’s space, comfort, or playfulness, their quiet companionship is a reward worth waiting for."

"What I love most about dogs is that they're comforting without words, they love without keeping score. They make me laugh and I'm never bored with their presence. I enjoy giving them the love and care they deserve, and the return is tenfold."

About Brenda L.

Hi, I’m Brenda—an animal lover, treat-giver, and professional belly-scratcher! I enjoy caring for cats and dogs of all ages, sizes, personalities, and medical needs. From shy rescues and energetic pups to affectionate cats and senior pets who prefer a slower pace, I tailor my care to each animal’s unique temperament and routine. I’m comfortable providing playtime, walks, scratches, snuggles, medications, and special diets while keeping pet parents updated with detailed notes and plenty of cute photos. My goal is to help every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while giving their family peace of mind. When I’m not spending time with furry friends, you’ll find me at home with our family kitty, tending to my garden, trying a new recipe, working on DIY remodeling projects, or enjoying a weekend getaway with friends. I look forward to getting to know you and providing your pets with plenty of love, patience, and attentive care!

What Clients Say About Brenda L.

"We had a wonderful experience with Brenda as our pet sitter. She was reassuring and dependable. She went above and beyond to make sure Sinbad felt comfortable and loved, cleaned up a bit more than what we had been used to seeing. She updated us with messages and adorable photos, which gave us relief while we were away. Brenda takes her responsibilities seriously. I recommend Brenda to pet parents looking for a diligent and compassionate sitter."

"Brenda was the perfect cat sitter! This was our first time using the Comforted Kitty service. Following our meet and greet, I felt comfortable leaving my fur baby in her care. She interacted well with him and clearly has experience with the unique nature of cats! She gave me daily updates including food and litter box useags, as well as cute pics. I felt comfortable having her in our home while we were away, and she even watered plants and brought mail in for us. It was great that she was relatively local to where we live in San Carlos area. I would highly recommend Brenda and will be reaching out to her again in the future to take care of our Biscuit!"

San Carlos

We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for our cat, while we were away for a week. Brenda was an excellent communicator, sending us multiple videos of her playing with Sophie throughout the trip — it was clear Sophie never felt lonely and was getting plenty of attention. Brenda also handled Sophie’s twice-daily eye medications with real care and precision, which gave us huge peace of mind. On top of that, she kept up with fresh food and water and a clean litter box, and she was reliably consistent, always showing up within the right time slots. What stood out most was how much genuine love she has for cats. We could tell from our very first meeting that Sophie was in good hands. We’d happily book Brenda again and recommend her without hesitation.

"Brenda was a great fit for our Cali! Brenda was easy to communicate before and during our time away from Cali. Brenda sent regular check in’s including pictures of Cali each day. Our trip away from home was made easier knowing that Cali was being taken care of. We plan to keep using Brenda and would highly recommend her to anyone who needs a great cat sitter!"

"While we were away, Brenda took great care of our dog and made the whole experience completely stress free for us. She regularly sent cute photos and updates, which assured us that our dog was happy, comfortable, and in good hands. It meant a lot to be able to see how well things were going while we were away. It was obvious from the pictures and updates that our dog felt relaxed and well cared for. Additionally, she also looked after our home, which gave us even more peace of mind. We truly appreciated the care she provided and would absolutely trust her to watch our dog again in the future."

Dave S.

"Brenda was absolutely amazing with our dogs! From the start, you could tell how much she enjoys caring for animals. Her excitement in spending time with our dogs really came through in her updates and messages, and it was good to know they were being looked after by someone who truly loves what she does. One of our dog's is shy, so we expected them to spend most of the time afraid or withdrawn. To our surprise, Brenda was able to get him to slowly come out. By the end of the visits, we could tell he was starting to feel comfortable around her, which completely amazed us. It takes a special kind of patience and kindness to earn the trust of our dog, and she has that gift. We were impressed and pleasantly surprised by how well everything went, and we look forward to having Brenda watch our dogs again."

Sara R.

"Brenda was really great looking after my two cats, especially in working to make sure the shy one got her meals without her sister stealing them all! She also helped to keep my plants alive during a heat wave!"
