House Sitting in Bolinas

“Kathryn was wonderful! She took excellent care of our pup, giving him lots of love and attention, and keeping us updated with sweet photos and text messages. We already have her booked for our next weekend away.”

“Ryane and Dave did a fantastic job housesitting and caring for my two chihuahuas. I was impressed at how comfortable they were with an opinionated chihuahua who needed several different medications throughout the day and they even got my little guy to do his daily physical therapy. These are not the easiest dogs to care for but Ryane and Dave built a relationship with them quickly and made sure they received the meds and care they needed. Communication while I am traveling is fantastic; I get frequent updates and some pretty great photos of my fur kids enjoying life. On top of that, I returned to a house that was exactly how I left it (nice and clean). Leaving my fur kids at home is never easy but knowing Ryane and Dave are in charge allows me to relax so I will absolutely use them again. Ryane and Dave have a lot of animal experience outside of dogs so they are also a great match for anyone with exotic pets, farm animals, reptiles or birds.”

“Loretta is awesome! We've had her dog sit for us twice now. She's very conscientious and tries really hard to get everything right and follow all of the directions. I really appreciate her attention to details when caring for our challenging dog! Highly recommend Loretta!”

“Jodi was SO sweet w our dog! Lots of walks and play time. Always very timely and communicative. And she is very very clean! Jodi goes above and beyond to keep our home clean and tidy.”

“Susan is amazing! We are so lucky to have found her. Our bernedoodle, Benny, adores her. He even snuggled with her all night. She took lots of photos and took great care of our house. She is very communicative, kind, responsible, and had a great immediate connection with Benny. She is the best dog sitter we have had.”

“Our lab Chase loves Maggie. She’s taken care of him many times. She has stayed with him while we travel many times. Ahe is very active and walks him at lease s couple of times a day.”

“Andy is the best pet sitter any pet parent can ask for. We had to go out of the country for two weeks, the longest we’ve been away from home and pet. Andy took care of our home and looked after our cat during the entire time, playing with her, keeping her engaged and sending us constant updates and pictures of her. By the end of the stay the two had bonded which was really surprising to us considering our cat gets nervous when we leave. Highly recommend Andy and we’ll definitely want him over for any of our future pet sitting needs.”

“Rose was extremely communicative and reliable in watching my dog. We met prior to her watching him and my shy dog loved her straight away. She kept in touch with photos and updates while I was gone and she made my pet feel so comfortable and loved. Great experience, would love to work with her again if the opportunity presents itself.”

“Cheryl looked after our dog and our home over Memorial Day weekend. She’s responsive, focused on building bond with Ash, sent great updates, and ensured he was well exercised. I recommend Cheryl and hope she’ll sit for us again.”

“They exercised our dog daily on long hikes and seemed to really take interest in our pets' needs! They were very responsive and left the house immaculate.”

“Samantha did a great job watching my two biewers. They can be very happy so she I quite patient. Lots of updates so I knew they were doing well!”

“Joe was great! I wouldn't hesitate to book him again or recommend him. He gave updates and was pleasant and professional. He loves both dogs and cats.”

“Emilie was amazing with my two pups that are a handful. She as super patient and sent multiple updates with photos while I was gone. She is absolutely a pleasure!”

“Krystal is amazing. I felt so good leaving my dog with her. She watched Steele at my house and took him on long runs and sent me lots of photos. He looked so happy in The photos. It’s such a relief to have him in such loving hands.”

“Mari was great! She took care of our two elderly dogs while we were away for a week. One of our dogs has a strict medication schedule and she was very good at administering it all and on time. Mari was also very good at constantly communicating with me throughout our time away which helped put my mind at ease. She sent photos and videos at least every other day. Mari genuinely cares about our dogs and their well-being and that’s all you can hope for when looking for a pet sitter. We would definitely book with her again. Thank you, Mari!”

“We were fortunate to have Heather watch Peanut and our home for two weeks while we were in Europe. It was a huge relief knowing that our dog and home would be well taken care of. She was very helpful when our kitchen faucet broke mid-trip too!”

“Janaki has always shone exemplary kindness and understanding towards every pet she meets. She is an amazing and caring cat owner as well as having some very dear canine friends.”

“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!”

About: Hi everyone! I've been regularly dog sitting for family friends for about three years now, and have watched various neighbor's pets on and off ever since I was old enough to do so. I have experience with all kinds of dogs, big and small, old and young. I've taken dogs to the vet and administered oral medicine among the other typical duties of dog sitting. Tug-of-war is hands down my favorite game to play, but fetch is a close second! Right now my schedule is pretty open, and I'm flexible to work with whatever times and dates that works best for you and your pet I am a student at Santa Rosa Junior College where I study Kinesiology. I've always had a fascination with animals from a young age, whether its a scaley reptile who wants to bask on rock undisturbed, or a golden retriever who can't seem to get enough attention, I appreciate it all! I do not currently have any pets of my own, but once I graduate SRJC and transfer to a four year university I want to finally get a Ball Python! We never had a dog of my own because my mom and brother are allergic, but I've owned two Leopard Geckos, Gerdy and Dexter, the latter I adopted from my neighbor when she moved away for college. I've also had two Beta Fish, both named Blue, and I even used to raise Monarch Butterflies. Please reach out to me if you have any questions. I am happy to help take care of your pet! I am on summer vacation right now, so my schedule is open for any future commitments. I am available on weekends and early mornings as well. I have experience staying over night for extended periods while dog sitting. In these circumstances I consider caring for the home as an extension of my duties. I put effort into leaving a home in the same condition it was in when I got there, whether its keeping a water dish topped up, cleaning up after messy dogs, or even watering plants and taking out the trash.

“Alexis is phenomenal. I can't recommend her highly enough. She is a warm, friendly person who took great care of our sweet dog and our house. We really appreciated her great communication and loved the photos she sent. Thanks!”
