House Sitting in Bolinas

“Etna was super quick to respond and a great communicator. Poppy is shy with new people but she won her over very quickly and sent us frequent updates. She also took wonderful pictures of the dog. Would definitely recommend and book again.”

“Andrey has a remarkable affinity for pets, particularly dogs. My Anatolian Shepherd, Roma, is particularly fond of him, and I have the utmost confidence in Andrey's ability to meet all of Roma's needs. He demonstrates a genuine concern for animals, dedicating countless hours to walking with your dog, enjoying leisure time together on the couch, and offering treats, among other activities. For my upcoming vacation, I am entirely assured that leaving my dog in Andrey's care is the best decision.”

About: I’ve been a trusted house and pet sitter for over 15 years and I love to provide the best care. I’m passionate about animals and want to make sure owners know they have left thier animals in the hands of someone who can be relied on to provide the same level of love care as they would. I’ll be able to be flexible in schedule most days and strive to always update my calendar to reflect my exact availability. I’m available for pet walking, house / pet sitting. I can currently care for your pets in your home! I am happy to take suggestions on which routes your pets like to walk and any other instructions in order to provide the best care for them.

“After we returned from our trip, our neighbor informed us that Kim left our back door open on a rainy day with our dog outside, and then left the house for the day. Our neighbor noticed that our back door was open and was kind enough to take in our dog for the day, and when Kim returned, our neighbor took our dog back over. Kim told our neighbor that she did not realize that our dog was missing (as he is shy and tends to hide). I would strongly recommend not booking with Kim as she put our house and our dog at risk.”

“Niamh did a great job watching my dogs while I was out of town. She was very responsive to my messages and questions. I’d gladly have her return when I am next in need of dog care. Thank you!”

“Amy took good care of my 3 cats and a dog while we were away. Pets are happy! We are happy. Thank you, Amy!”

“Sam has taken care of my dog and cat for an extended period of time. She was very communicative and sent lots of updates with photos of them having fun. She took my dog on daily walks and gave my cat lots of love. I would recommend her for any petting sitting to others and would hire her again.”

“Giacomo cared for my dog when I had an unexpected trip come up, he was able to help out on a short notice which was amazing. He took my dog on long walks and even sent me some photo updates of her . When I got home I think she was actually upset he wasn’t there anymore! Will definitely be using him again, 10/10 recommend!”

“Leonard is now family to me. He treats my dogs as if they were his own. The level of love and kindness he gives to them shows how truly amazing he is. His daily updates and photos help me get through being away from them and seeing them so happy warms my heart.”

“Pat, you are wonderful! Thank you for caring for our kitty and sending us photo updates- knowing you were with her made us able to be away without worrying. Thanks again!”

“Diyana has been a constant reliable and trustworthy housesitter for us for several years, in both short term and long term trips where we had to leave our three pets behind. She is organized and reliable, friendly, kind, and has become a dear friend of ours over the years. Our two dogs are a handful, and she has always managed to maintain a calm demeanor around them and a willingness to support them in any way she can when we are gone. She adapts to their mealtime needs (which are always changing) and gives them constant love when we are gone. Our cat Ninja also loves Diyana, as she always gives him snuggles and he remembers her when she stays with us. Whenever we come home from our trips that Diyana has housesat for, the home feels full of warmth and peace and the animals are all very calm and healthy and happy. We love Diyana, she has been a lifesaver for us in so many last minute trips!”

“Tanny did a great job watching our two pups and was a very respectful guest in our home while we were out on vacation. We came home to two happy dogs and a freshly vacuumed home which is more than we could have hoped for.”

About: I've been caring for animals for over 8 years. Collectively I have taken care of my friends, family and my own dogs. Growing up with both cats and dogs, I've developed a deep understanding of their needs and behaviors. Currently, I share my home with two beautiful Vizslas, aged 8 months and 3 years. I believe that every animal is unique, and I am dedicated to providing individualized attention to each furry family member I care for. Whether your pet requires special dietary needs, medication administration, or specific exercise routines, I'll tailor my care to meet their unique requirements. Being an athletic individual myself, I understand the importance of staying active for pets just as much as for humans. Whether it's a brisk walk around the neighborhood (or a run if you prefer), a game of fetch, or some interactive indoor play, I'll ensure your pet gets the exercise and mental stimulation they need. I also love taking dogs on exciting adventures to places like Stinson Beach, the reservoir, or on hikes, (if that's something that appeals to you). Whether you're away on a trip or just at work for the day, I know how important it is to stay connected with your furry friend. That's why I offer regular updates, including photos and videos of our day's adventures, or just a quick pic to show you how much fun your furry family member is having in my care. Feel free to check out my availability and don't hesitate to reach out if you have any further questions. Leave your worries behind and let me be your pet's second-best friend! My schedule is flexible, with morning walks being a priority. I can accommodate your dog's needs seamlessly into my daily routine. With proper notice or planning, I can accommodate most boarding requests seamlessly. I provide personalized pet care tailored to your pet's needs, including feeding, medication, exercise, and companionship, ensuring their comfort and happiness. I would treat them like one of my own :)

“Nikki was a perfect fit for us when I had a trip come up for the Thanksgiving holiday. She tended to my 2 Maltese Shih-Tzu dogs and snuggled them, played with them and took them for walks like they were her own. She instilled confidence in me when she came to visit for the meet and greet knowing exactly what to make sure of so my pups would be happy and comfortable while I was gone. I got regular updates and photos and she was very responsive any time I reached out to check in. I would hire her again in a heart beat. When I returned, my home was just as I left it and my pups were relaxed and happy.”

“This was the most stress free and enjoyable experience I have ever had while traveling without my dogs Daniel truly made all the difference Daniel dog sat in our home for 6 days and 5 nights. One of my dogs gets separation anxiety when I leave for any length of time, (and the other just loves me!) So the homecomings are always Spectacular! My arrival home this time was met with a brief “hello” from my girls, similar to that of a return from a Costco run. Instead of making me feel like the most important person ever, my dogs were happy and calm! (This is truly a great thing even if I now realize how much I liked the more enthusiastic welcome home) While away, i have never been able to enjoy my vacation as much as this trip The communication from Daniel was perfect; he provided regular check-ins so I didn’t ever wonder (worry), but also didn’t text statuses so frequent that I felt like I needed to keep my phone with me at all times. The house was also well cared for. Just an ideal experience.”

“We had the best experience with Monica! She will be my first go-to from now on whenever I leave town! She was so kind, left the house immaculate and Farley loved hanging out with her and Bodie at our house. Farley is a sensitive soul and she made sure he didn’t feel lonely which was a worry of mine. She sent photos and was super communicative while we were gone- this was the first time we had someone stay in our house and she really made me feel great about it:-) Thank you Monica!!”

“Wonderful dog whisperer! My two pomsky puppies had an absolute blast with Jason this past week! Highly recommend him to anyone and look forward to having Jason back again next time :) He was highly communicative and went above and beyond with my fur babies with excellent communication and frequent video updates!”

“Ryley was outstanding in his communication and so accommodating to our ederly dog. Those characteristics helped allow us to relax on vacation.”

“Heather was great! So lucky to have found her. You can tell she really loves dogs and she treated ours with such care - it made us feel very comfortable to be away from home and have her taking care of ? and ?. She sent good updates and photos, but not too many. She tidied up things before she left, which was going the extra mile! So nice and would 100% book with her again.”

“Marlo is an incredibly kind friend to pets. I've seen her show kindness and understanding to my dog in such a way that wow'd me to speechlessness. She is attentive to pets' wants and needs. Responsible and assertive when needs arise. Diligent and safe with taking her animal friends on walks. Really takes the time to connect and listen. I would jump at the chance to have her caretake my sweet animal friends. You couldn't pick a more loving and respectful caretaker.”
