House Sitting in Bodega

“Andrea takes such good care of our dogs and our place- just got back from three nights away, received regular updates and photos and came home to relaxed dogs and the place looking great. Thank you Andrea, so much!”

Laura S.

“Excellent in every way! Great communication, regular photos and updates, on time and organized, and left the house as clean as it was when we left. Solved years worth of anxiety and pet sitting conundrums for us!”

Jake B.

“Thank you, Holly for your service in watching Ryder and being with him. Sorry it took me so long to get back to you. I loved the pictures you sent from the trips you made to the park. My brother said rides in the car are what he lives for. I appreciate your efforts to entertain him. It helps so much to be relieved knowing there is someone there for him. He gets lonely so easily.”

“Evan watched our pup on short notice, and we were super happy with how everything went. We were away for the weekend and came home to a happy dog and a clean house. Our dog needs extra attention on walks due to reactivity and also has specific feeding instructions, and Evan was incredibly accommodating with all of it. He even came over for an in-person visit beforehand, and it was clear how conscientious he is and how important it was to him to make sure he was a good fit for our dog. That built a lot of trust for us. He also sent photos and updates over the weekend was very rad. We’d definitely use him again, and plan to next time a trip comes up. 5/5 recommend.”

Spencer A.

“I was a very nervous first time puppy mom and Blake was great at giving updates and keep my mind at ease! Would highly recommend as she communicates, takes care of the pup, and my apartment. Thanks again!”

Tabitha E.

“Michele is awesome! She is extremely pleasant and very responsive, her calendar is up to date, and she provided ongoing updates throughout her stay with our dog Bebe. We felt extremely comfortable leaving our home and dog with her and we plan to utilize Michele for ongoing trips.”

Richard R.

“Gina did such a great job taking care of the place and making sure I had regular updates and photos throughout my trip. It meant a lot to have that peace of mind. She is truly an animal lover and I am so glad I found her! Definitely would recommend. Excellent job!”

Kelly W.

“Olivia always helps me have peace of mind when I need to go out of town!”

Heather H.

“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Rithy! She is timely, communicative and treats your pet like they’re her own. This was my first time using Rover and I feel lucky to have found Rithy. She stayed with Clover for the weekend, texted me photos of their adventures, and she made homemade food for Clover! I think they both had a great weekend together.”

Heather C.

“Lucy was so great! We had a last-minute request that she was able to accommodate, she was great at communicating and sent us cute pics of our pup Capri, and Capri loved her! Would definitely book again (:”

Azaleah G.

“Once again, my pets had a wonderful time with Lauren! She is the BEST pet sitter! My dog Luna and cat Juice were calm, happy and relaxed when I returned from my trip. Lauren cares so much about the pets she takes care of and really loves them up. She’s awesome and I will also book with her! Thanks, Lauren!”

Eliza S.

“Rosemary was wonderful! She was very kind, and affectionate towards my dog. She spent a few days with her, and I could tell my Bella was happy and well taken care of when I returned. Very trustworthy and friendly!!!”

About: Hi, I’m Bernadette! Caring for animals isn’t just something I’ve done my entire life—it's something I love. I’m a former pet shop owner and have been a professional pet sitter for over 30 years. I’ve cared for just about every kind of pet (from horses to mice), but dogs have always been my faves. I offer: 🐾 Little Dog daycare in my home 🐾 Little Dog Overnight Boarding in my home 🐾 Drop-in visits to your home within Graton for dogs, cats, and other pets 🐾 Occasionally I'm available to house sit when I don't have any boarders booked My home is conveniently located near the Graton town center, serving West Sonoma County, CA. A Cozy, Calm Environment for Small Dogs: I specialize in small dogs (up to 15 lbs), with occasional exceptions. Senior dogs very are welcome! Your friendly, quiet little companion will enjoy spending time with my two sweet senior dogs in a peaceful home setting. Because I live in close proximity to neighbors, I’m not able to accept frequent barkers. Comfort & Safety First: Dogs have access to a secure, fenced yard for fresh air and exercise. I let dogs out at least every couple of hours during the day. I supervise outdoor time carefully. Overnight rates cover a full 24-hour period. Since I work from home, I’m almost always around—which means your dog receives consistent supervision, attention, and care. I’m happy to accommodate most special needs with advance discussion. (Sadly, due to my new living situation, I can no longer take puppies unless they are very calm, reliably house trained, and able to wear a diaper or relax in a crate when in the house.) IMPORTANT: To help visiting pups settle in, I require dogs to wear a diaper initially, until I’m confident they’re reliably house-trained (new environments can trigger marking behaviors, especially in males). If your dog eats raw food, please provide it pre-portioned into individual meals (I'm vegan and prefer not to handle raw meat). Bringing their own bed is highly recommended to help them feel secure and comfortable. The only other things they need are a leash and food. Most dogs relax and settle in within a few hours—and they receive plenty of love. If you’re looking for a calm, attentive, experienced home environment for your small dog, I’d love to meet you both! 🐶 NOTE: Mr. Q, my blue and gold macaw, prefers dogs who don't try to eat him! I work from home, so I'm almost always around to interact with your pets. Most dogs love coming here and can't wait to get in the front door! Little dogs enjoy hanging out in my quiet home and fenced yard with my two mellow old pups. Even most dogs with separation anxiety quickly relax and have fun. It's like a doggie play date!

“Alex went above and beyond on his first overnight with our cat TK. After an initial meeting, he asked questions to be sure he understood our cat and our house. On his visit he sent oodles of photos, our 9-yr-old TK looking completely relaxed and having fun. We returned to a happy, calm and collected cat and our house perfectly taken care of. We've already booked Alex for 2 more chunks of time later this month. Responsive, understanding, conscientious. Oh--and he's so upbeat. So glad to have him in our TK family now.”

“Lynette came over to watch our dog Neko for a few hours at a rental house while we attended an event. She was an excellent communicator - keeping us informed about her schedule and arrival time, but also sending photos and updates while we were gone.”

About: I am a devoted animal person. I have had dogs and cats my whole life, and am experienced with puppies as well as senior dogs. I currently work remotely and have a flexible schedule. I am available for dog walking weekdays and some weekends. Open to special requests and needs. My home has a large doggie door which opens to large fenced in yard. Dogs come in and out as they please. Lots of play toys and special attention.

“Thank you Darla for doing such an awesome job with Evie, Boo and PJ! Even though Evie is still in mourning over the passing of Rudolph Valentino Jones, you took great care of her and she ate food for you, bonus round since she hasn't eaten a lot in the last week or so. Thank you for taking excellent care of them and my beautiful home.”

“Francesca did a good job caring for our pets and watching our house. I wouldn't hesitate to book her again.”

About: I’ve been taking care of my families puppy and my own kitten for about 2 years now ! Ive taken care of other peoples dogs in the past as well! I’m efficient and competent. Im currently a college student, so I spend most of my time at home and just in general I’m a home body. So, I have enough time to care and tend to pets and their needs. I’m very attentive to my own cat and families dog. They both have feeding schedules and are potty trained. I’ve taken my time to make them good pets. I’ve showed the same amount of attention and affection to other peoples pets as well.

“Laura was great! She did all I asked of her.”
