House Sitting in Bivalve

“Luna cared for our rambunctious miniature Australian shepherd, Daisy while we were in Hawaii for one week. The moment Luna came over to meet Daisy, I immediately felt at ease. Daisy was absolutely smitten with her and Luna was incredibly sweet and affectionate with Daisy. Luna took excellent care of our house while we were away and provided daily updates for Daisy, who was also having a fantastic time while we were away! Luna took Daisy on multiple walks, played with her and provided her with plenty of stimulation and love. We arrived back home from the airport very late, and Luna had put away all of our groceries we ordered and put fresh sheets on the bed for us and we had clean towels as well. We were so happy that our house and dog were so well cared for while we were away. I would highly recommend Luna as a pet/home sitter!”

About: I'm an experienced and energetic petsitter with excellent references. I love learning the unique personality of each pet in my care. It's rewarding to provide them a stress-free environment in their own home, while their parents are away. From dog walks to keeping a feeding schedule, and dispensing their meds to cuddling -- their routines and feeling secure with a sitter, is my goal. I am a freelance writer and designer, which affords me the ability to be more present for your pets than a sitter with a regular outside work schedule. When I'm caring for your pets at your home, I'm dedicated to their safety and security. Though many dog parents enjoy off-leash activities with their pets, I keep dogs in my care on-leash at all times when outside your home or fenced yard. Even the most well-trained dog may not keep their recall training with a new person. For indoor cats, I'm agile in keeping them indoors (especially when walking through the outside doors.)

“Kat was a good send, last minute I was in need of someone to come and take care of my 7th month old puppy and stay at my place. She responded to my post in hours and was flexible as I figured out If it could work. She agreed to come and meet me first so we can connect since this was the first time I had ever hired a dog sitter. She took great care of my puppy and it was clear she is a natural. She took our pupp6 to her office well she worked, which was great because I meant she was never alone for too long. She took great care of the house and left it in great shape. I'm so glad that I found Kat for the next time. We need a do sitter.”

“Pat stayed with our 2 kitties for a long weekend and we could not have been happier with her service. We have a huge book of instructions both for our cats (with rather complicated feedings, meds and various foods etc...), and for the house itself. She was glad to have the guidebook and managed to have a very relaxing time. The cats warmed up to her more than any other sitter we've had in the recent past. When we returned home the house was just as we left it and our kitties were totally relaxed. We will definitely be looking to hire her again!”

“Ryan house sat and watched our two dogs for the first time. He took great care of the dogs and house. It was nice to come home to happy dogs! Will use him again!”

“Noelle has a beautiful warm energy which my dog immediately was receptive to. She is gentle and kind and truly seems to love being around animals. My dog immediately bonded with her and had a wonderful day with her. They went on a long hike and she gave him belly rubs and ball play. Noelle was prompt and easy to communicate with. I highly recommend her! She is a gem!”

“5 stars isn’t enough to express how great Jhian & Joseph are! Our pup got more than sitters, she got a family. A family that welcomed her as part of their pack. They genuinely put her needs first by prioritizing her comfort and care. They sent daily updates with pics and videos that brought us so much joy during our time away. She was literally SMILING ear to ear in every pic and wagging her tail in every video. Peace of mind for your pet and home while away is priceless. With Jhian & Joseph, your fur baby will feel like they got a vacation too! 🥰 I am so grateful and look forward to the next time!”

“Aimee was absolutely wonderful. She tended to the special needs of our aging dog with great attention. She also took wonderful care of our home, watered our plants, and left it even tidier than before. She was also incredibly patient with some malfunctions we were having with our alarm system. I was delighted to have Aimee here, and would book her again in a heartbeat. Thank you Aimee!”

If you’re looking for someone with a mostly fenced-in yard surrounded by trees and far from any paved or busy roads, I am your person!

I have ample space to create many degrees of separation as needed!

“Abby watched my German shepherd Mocha and house sitted our home for 3 weeks. Mocha is a large, high energy dog who needs a lot of exercise. Abby was very skilled in handling Mocha’s needs and very respectful of our house. Will book Abby whenever we need someone to watch Mocha again.”

“Katherine was communicative and caring, and best of all, looked after our kitties as if they were her own. Our high maintenance cats got their multitude of medicines and cuddle time. It's nice to have someone local and reliable so we can go away and not worry about our little ones.”

About: Hi, I’m Garrett I’ve always loved animals, and I’ve been caring for pets of all kinds since I was a kid. I actually wanted to be a vet until I found out I'd have to euthanize animals—that was a dealbreaker for me. These days, I channel that love into something more hands-on: giving dogs the kind of outdoor adventures that bring out their best. I’m also the proud dog dad of Angie, a calm, incredibly sweet German Shepherd mix who was once a stray and had severe trauma. She was scheduled to be put down the day I took her home. Later that day, I brought her home and she hid from me behind a shed—I thought I lost her. But little by little, through hikes, beach trips, and time outside in nature, I watched her blossom into one of the most confident, gentle dogs I’ve ever met. Now she’s my sidekick on every outing, and I’ve seen her do something pretty amazing: she helps other dogs open up. Whether they’re anxious, unsure, or not used to being around other dogs, I’ve watched them relax and come out of their shell just by being around her—especially when they’re running together on the beach or through the trees. I’ve had people say, “My dog doesn’t like other dogs,” or “He’s not friendly,” only to watch their pup totally fine around Angie. I think a lot of dogs just haven’t been given the space to be dogs. And truthfully, sometimes it’s the owner’s energy or anxiety that’s getting projected. I don’t judge—it’s super common. But I’ve seen the shift that can happen when a dog gets to let loose, sniff around, splash in the water, and run alongside someone like Angie. It’s like therapy, but better. That said, my services are best for dogs who enjoy being active, or who want to be more confident and social. We go to beaches, creeks, forests, trails, and the best parks in the North Bay (check out my photos). I have toys, balls, puzzles, and even a drone which some high energy dogs love to chase (it’s wild how much they love it, plus it burns a ton of energy and makes them sleep like babies). At home, dogs can get cozy on the couch or bed, and I’ve got multiple dog beds throughout the house. I live right near the Petaluma River with tons of walking trails, and the best dog park in town is just a short stroll away. I’m recently self-employed, which means I’ve got a super flexible schedule and a lot of room to give dogs my full attention. I’m also starting to study dog behavior (not in a classroom, but through books, podcasts, and videos) because I really believe this is what I’m meant to do. If your dog is more of a lap dog or not super into being outside, I might not be the perfect fit, unless we’ve chatted and made a game plan that works for them. It’s not that I don’t love all dogs, I just want to make sure we’re all set up for success. Happy to hop on a call, answer questions, or meet up first so you and your pup can get a feel for us. I’ll probably be adjusting my prices soon to reflect the level of care and intention I bring to this work—but if you’re reading this and it clicks with you, I’d love to connect. I’m recently self-employed, which means I have a very flexible schedule to dedicate to pet care. Whether it’s a midday walk, an evening outing, or a weekend adventure, I can easily adjust to fit your pet’s needs. In my home, pets are treated like family. I have three cozy dog beds, and dogs are always welcome on the couch and bed for maximum comfort. I live near the Petaluma River, surrounded by beautiful walking trails, and I’m just a short stroll from the best dog park in town. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities, whether they’re in my home or yours. I provide a secure, caring environment where your dog can relax, play, and feel right at home.
