“Berenice was AMAZING with my dog Isabel!! Isabel gets scared and shy when I leave her, and Berenice took such great care of her and helped her to feel comfortable and even have fun while I was away. She was kind and communicative and adaptable to Isabel’s needs. I would highly recommend Berenice!!”

About: Woof Lodge is a home-based dog boarding and daycare service conveniently located in North West Santa Rosa. You'll love that a family is caring for your dog when you go on vacation! Daily pictures, a large backyard, and other friendly playmates are just some of the perks of your pup’s stay at the Woof Lodge! Your pets will be in or out of the house (their choice - weather permitting) and enjoy a home-style, low-stress environment. We are a crate-free environment, except for puppies under 1 year, who sleep in crates at night. We are also able to accommodate senior dogs, administer meds, and we partner with a mobile grooming service to be able to offer grooming and nail trims during your pups stay. I have been breeding yellow labs since 2015. Dogs are my passion! My husband and I take frequent play breaks and daily walks with our dogs. We love dogs and your dogs will love us too! Our home is on 1 acre which has 4 separate play yards. So there can be many outdoor configurations based on compatibility of the dogs. Ideally, after a brief socialization period, we match and create play groups for the day and everyone gets their own bed or crate in the house at night.

“We are very grateful we found Bernadette, She took great care of our two cats while we were away and very accommodating of the cats schedules and special needs.”

About: I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals—especially dogs. Each one has its own unique personality, and it’s always fun getting to know them. Whether it’s going for walks, playing fetch, or just giving them some comfort and companionship, it’s incredibly rewarding. I take pride in making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. It never feels like work to me—it’s something I truly enjoy. I am currently open for pet care bookings 7 days a week. I will update my availability regularly on the Rover calendar to ensure accuracy. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry friend. Your four-legged friend's happiness and safety is my top priority, and I strive to provide a clean, safe, and loving atmosphere for dog boarding. I am reliable, trustworthy, and responsible so you can trust me to keep your place clean and safe, just like you left it or better as I love a clean home. I take great pride in being engaged and present with them whether we are on walks, hikes or just chilling out. I am attentive, compassionate, and loving so your four-legged friend will not just get a sitter, but a dog lover who will give them love and affection in my care. To ease the mind of pet parents, I am more than happy to send updates, pictures, or videos during my care. I want you to feel reassured that he/she is in good hands.

“Melissa is wonderful! 2 of our 3 dogs have different reactivity issues, and have had some of their “stranger danger” get worse between the pandemic and moving to Sonoma County. It’s a big relief to see our dogs resocializing and looking forward to interacting with new people”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats & other pets since I was a teenager. I can also take care of other pets if necessary. Thanks! I am very flexible with my availability. Being outside with nature is necessary for my well being so pet care is second nature to me. I will take great care of your fur bbs in your home. I will give them pets, snuggles, food & play with them! I will be present with your pets while you are away to ease their separation anxiety & make sure they have the proper care.

“William is the best! He tended to our cat and kept us updated the whole time we were gone even with photos! We are grateful and will definitely be reaching out again :)”

About: Hello! My partner and I just recently got engaged, and I'm looking to pick up some extra cash. I love nature, the arts, and books.

My schedule is quite flexible, and I would be able to accommodate most requests and specifications. House Sitting Schedule: Morning: before 8:15 Afternoon: 12:35-1:20 (Sebastopol ONLY) Evening: after 5:00 Drop in Visits: 12:35-1:20 (Sebastopol ONLY) No matter what service it is, I’ll make sure they get more than enough attention, exercise, and care. We’ll do things like play with toys, go on walks or runs, or anything else that your dog may love to do! I love a good cat nap too, if that's more of your pet's speed.

“Thank you Kyle for watching the cats 🐈‍⬛!! The cats seem unstressed upon my return. I can tell Kyle took good care of them. I will absolutely reach out to Kyle again 😊”

About: I’ve lived with dogs since my first memory. I grew up on a farm, and we had 3-6 dogs at any given time. When I went to college, I adopted the first dog I would raise on my own -- he lived almost 15 happy years. I rescued another pup in my mid-thirties — he’s going on 7, and we’re best buds. So, I have experience taking care of puppies, seniors, and every age in between. My dogs and I have participated in puppy schools and worked 1:1 with excellent dog trainers -- in each case, I learned as much as my dog. I believe dogs just want to give love and get love back. This emotional reciprocation, along with adequate exercise and a healthy diet, makes for a happy, healthy dog. I believe every dog is good by nature, and, as humans, we have a responsibility to provide dogs with a nurturing environment in which they can be their good-natured, happy selves. I love connecting with a new dog, understanding its world and experience. With empathy from this connection, I find it easier to care for a dog and provide the type of love any particular dog needs and wants -- through daily routines, fun-hearted play, and plenty of attention. Ultimately, this leads to a more enjoyable relationship between human and canine. While I’m primarily a dog person, I grew up with lots of cats on the farm and have lived with and cared for cats here and there as an adult. I feel comfortable with cats and understand their needs. I understand the trust required to let someone else take care of your pet. My promise is to always be building and reinforcing my trustworthiness as a caregiver to animals and plants. I walk my dog every day. I understand some dogs need more than one walk per day, depending on their energy level. I also make sure my dog gets outside several times a day to enjoy the fresh air and relieve them. I will do the same for yours, based on your preferences. At this time, I work from home, so my availability for drop-ins or walks is very flexible. I am calm, gentle, and patient and aim to create an environment where the dogs I care for can feel and act the same. When walking, I like to keep dogs on a 6-foot leash (not a retractable leash) and keep the dog walking forward as opposed to stopping every few seconds. I consider myself the leader (not the dog) and intend to set a vibe where the dog understands they have a job to do -- walk!
