Meet Caroline

Nice to meet you! I’m Caroline. I started pet sitting in 2014 because I love animals and wanted to spend more time with them. What started as a fun hobby after school turned into a serious business after graduating from Cornell University.

As a pet parent myself, I understand the stress of leaving your pet in someone else’s care. You worry: will everything be done just right? Will my pet feel comfortable and loved in my absence? Can I trust the people going into my home? I completely get it.

Unfortunately, I’ve heard one-too-many stories of negative experiences pet parents endured looking for pet care elsewhere, and I’m on a mission to help as many pet parents as possible avoid similar plights. This means I live and breathe outstanding pet care, giving you peace of mind that your pet is being taken care of as though you were there.

You can rest assured knowing we’ll show up for every visit (you’d be surprised how often pet parents tell me another sitter flaked!). You’ll receive updates and photos every time we stop by and answers to any question you have about how your pet is doing. All our sitters are vetted — including multiple rounds of interviews and 3-5 reference checks, go through a state, local, and federal background check, and receive extensive training on our operational excellence procedures, ensuring only serious pros are looking after your pets. Your fur-kid becomes part of a loving family when under the care of Simply The Best, and we look forward to meeting them!

I’m a mom of many, which is why I understand the importance of reliable pet care. I’m lucky to have the following pets: one Chihuahua mix, Lilly; two horses, Junior and Cantaro; two fish, Speckles and Black Jack; and 20 aquatic shrimp.

We contacted Simply The Best Pet Care because we needed a pet sitter on somewhat short notice for our cat Abby. Caroline was immediately responsive and helpful, and helped us set up a meet and greet with one of her team members. Saturday was a wonderful pet sitter — they took the time to understand Abby’s routine and personality, and during the visits, sent us pictures and very detailed updates which helped us work with them to make some adjustments to Abby’s care while we were away. Our shy cat is usually wary of strangers, but she warmed up to say hello after just a couple of visits. We’re very impressed by the care, professionalism, & attention to detail from the STB team, and look forward to having them help with our pet sitting in the future. Thank you, Caroline and Saturday! -- A. and Abby

Meet Saturday

Saturday Grace has been an avid cat-lover all their life. They currently live with many senior cats and have lots of experience with subcutaneous fluids, medication, and general senior cuddling. But fear not! Saturday has also fostered many kittens, including those abandoned by their mamas and in need of bottle feeding. Saturday is an all-ages cat-carer.

Saturday loves that cats are both cantankerous and adorable. They are our tiny, furry, grumpy overlords and Saturday serves them happily.

Over the last few years, Saturday has branched out to include dog care as well, and to their delight has found that they are equally a dog person! Walks, playtime, tug-o-war — Saturday provides it all (small and medium dogs, under 40lbs).

When they are not entirely absorbed by cat-cuddles, Saturday can be found trying to read around a cat, gardening with the “help” of cats, or rescuing their knitting from a cat.

Meet Paige

Paige adores the unique personalities that make each pet special. From the way they communicate with their expressive eyes and playful ear twitches to the way their tails wag or curl in curiosity—every little quirk fascinates her. She cherishes those quiet moments when an animal takes a deep breath, lets down its guard, and decides to trust. That shift from uncertainty to companionship is something truly magical to her.

At home, Paige shares her life with her beloved cat, Vinnie—a big, talkative, and lovable boy with extra toes, thanks to his polydactyl paws. 

When she’s not petting, walking, feeding, snuggling, or playing with pets, Paige is spending quality time with her two teenage boys, making memories and sharing laughs. Whether with animals or her family, she finds joy in connection, trust, and unconditional love.

Meet Renae

Lover of All Animals, Big or Small!

Renae grew up in a small town in Central Illinois. She graduated from The Illinois Institute of Art with a Bachelor’s degree in Media Arts and Animation. She enjoys Art very much, but her true passion has always been working with animals.

She’s had a large variety of pets since she was a child & was always bringing home strays. She currently has a 1-year-old Siamese Mix named Ellie, short for Lady Eloise, who currently has a medical condition that needs extra love & care.

In the past, Renae has taken care of two senior cats who also had medical conditions. For many years, she has cared for friend’s & neighbor’s pets while they were away (sometimes for 1-2 weeks at a time), including cats, dogs, bunnies & fish. She’s always the first one they call!

In 2018, Renae & her family moved to the Bay Area where she continued pet-sitting for neighbors & eventually friends. Shortly after, she started volunteering at The Peninsula Humane Society & SPCA where she cares for sick, injured or orphaned wildlife. This very rewarding job has many perks like feeding baby squirrels & releasing animals back into the wild!

Renae really enjoys being a part of the Simply The Best team! She’s looking forward to caring for your pet(s) & will do so as if he/she were her own, with kindness, compassion & patience! When she’s not pet-sitting, Renae is a Mom of two & enjoys drawing, wildlife photography, movies & spending time with family & friends.
