Pet Sitting in Bolinas

About: I’ve always had a really special place in my heart for animals and feel naturally comfortable around them. My family has dogs that I help care for, and I’ve also spent a lot of time looking after dogs for friends, family, and neighbors. I also have two cats that I love dearly, so I’m very comfortable caring for both dogs and cats. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each animal’s personality, whether they’re playful, shy, energetic, or just want a calm companion. I’m patient and attentive and treat every pet like they’re my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away Pet care fits very naturally into my routine. I’m currently working part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time throughout the day to dedicate to the pets I’m caring for. I’m able to plan my days around walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and check-ins so each pet gets the attention they deserve. I also enjoy being outdoors and going for walks, so spending that time with dogs feels like a really natural and enjoyable part of my day. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to keep their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I follow any instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, and plenty of playtime and attention. I also make sure pets feel safe and relaxed while their owner is away by giving them companionship and keeping their environment clean and calm. If I’m caring for a pet in my home, I provide a safe, comfortable space, regular walks, and lots of love and supervision so they feel right at home. I’m also happy to send updates and photos so owners can feel at ease knowing their pet is well cared for.

“Gage was the perfect match for our new puppy Ash. He was punctual, knowledgeable and very comfortable with Ash. We’re lucky to have found him and will definitely continue to use his services. Thank you ? Ash is looking forward to seeing you again soon.”

“Caroline did a great job checking in with my kitty! When I leave my cat alone she gets stressed out and lets me know when I get back by acting out. Caroline was able to reduce her stress when I had to leave (in the middle of moving in) and my kitty was happy and well behaved when I got back. I loved all of the photos she sent each check-in and knowing she was being cared for. Will be booking with her again!”

“Melina was great! Very flexible with my last minute drop in request. My dogs loved her and she took great care of them. Went above and beyond in a rain storm to make sure their paws were dry and the floors were not muddy. Checked in regularly and made me feel at ease knowing my dogs were taken care of.”

About: I have 20 years experience with bully breeds, and all the health issues that entails, but I’m open to sitting any breed (they are all good dogs!). I live at the beach, so your pup will get long beach walks and/or mountain trail hikes during the day, then sleepy downtime at night. It’s a pet paradise! Your dog will enjoy morning beach walks or trail hikes, or walks in a stroller if your pet has mobility issues. Daylight hours are spent being active, and evenings are resto-relaxo. I have a fenced and private front and backyard with fake grass for your pet to use. No stairs to navigate - single level home a block from the ocean. Just tell me your dogs energy level and exercise needs, and I’ll create the perfect doggy vacation!

“Aria was timely and responsive, and provided good care for Teddy. I highly recommend her services!”

About: We’re a good fit for dogs who are over 1 year old, 15 lbs or more, spayed/neutered, fully potty trained, and happy sleeping solo (no human beds or bedrooms). We don’t accept dogs who require pee pads or bark/whine when we are out of sight. These basics help keep the vacation smooth for everyone. Pick up/drop off: 6:00am - 7:00pm. We live with a wonderful Lab named Lincoln (no current job). We are able to do walks (and runs!) through the Watershed, Deer Park, Headlands and love to take photos. For longer stays, we do field trips (including a secret dog pool in Petaluma 🤫). We try to switch each day up to provide variety. Backyard with plenty of room and recently installed dog run. Fenced from road. Also a hammock should our guest prefer a more leisurely day. ;)

“Amber did an amazing job caring for my cat Moo. Although he’s very easy he requires medical food and diabetic injections, not easy! But Amber did a great job and Moo was totally relaxed when I returned home. Will definitely be contracting her for future visits.”

About: My wife and I own our home and have large yard in sunny Corte Madera, about 15 miles north of San Francisco. I previously owned a veterinary hospital and pet boarding facility, so working with dogs is a life long passion of mine. Senior pets are welcome!!! I've had San Francisco (city) customers before, but mainly Marin County residents. Pups will have loving care around the clock. I’m retired and my wife works out of the house. Safe and secure environment with 24 hour monitoring. Secure fenced in yard with doggie door. Pups understand very quickly that we are there to take care of them and they feel safe and secure with us.

“Last time we went away, we used a non-professional catsitter who , due to a family emergency, was only able to visit once in 4 days. This time, we loved getting photos of our cat weaving her way between Em's legs, nuzzling her face, etc. during twice-a-day visits. We were so glad to know that our kitty was fed and watered and that she had used her litterbox and it was not filthy (the rest of the house was quite dirty and messy, and we are very sorry about that and grateful that our catsitter fulfilled her obligation despite that). Thank you so much, Emily!”

“We came home to a clean litter box and a happy cat! Thanks for covering on short notice!”

“Gracie was great with my girls for scheduled drop in visits while I was out of town! When one of my dogs had an IBS flare up Gracie was very communicative and showed great concern and care for her. Gracie’s updates definitely put me at ease knowing my girl wasn’t feeling too well.”

“Renee has been great with our cats! Highly recommend!”

About: Alison Certified: Understanding Pet Sitting and Dog Walking Business I have cared for many types of animals over the years. I go out of my way to help stray and adopted animals. I have helped friends and family over the years, with bottle feedings, walks, bathing, grooming, and medications. I have a very nice dog park across the street. I can take your dog there if you would like. I also am with Axen Realty outside of pet sitting for any real estate needs. ¡Hablo español también! Soy bilingüe y si podemos comunicarnos en español. Hablar en español de las mascotas está bien conmigo. Im available to care for your pet any day of the week. I have a open schedule for the following weeks. I can work with your schedule and if you need an overnight stay I can help with cleaning duties. I will send you pictures during the visit to ensure you that your pet is completely safe. Safety and happiness are of the upmost importance to me. Let me know what extra security measures that your special fur baby will need while you are away.

“Pat was an incredible help for my family! Pat helped with drop in visits to take care of my cat while my husband and I were in the hospital to give birth to our baby! Pat was flexible and understanding of the schedule changes, and most importantly she gave us a peace of mind — her updates and pictures of my cat Risa showed clearly that even though we had to leave her for almost a week, she was doing great and I didn’t need to stress! All of that in an extremely bad heatwave — Pat made sure to turn on fans and bring Risa to a room with AC on. Pat also made sure to text both my husband and me on Rover, so we both could get the updates. She checked in on us too, which we appreciated! In the few days that Pat helped us we felt like we had a trustworthy and caring friend and that something that is so rare to find! Thank you, Pat!”

About: I understand what it’s like to leave your pet alone with a stranger and I will make sure it is as if you never left! I have owned many different types of pets myself including dogs, cats, rabbits, and Guinea pigs. Animals seem to naturally gravitate towards me and I genuinely enjoy spending my time with animals. I am experienced with puppies as well as elderly dogs. I love showing families pics and videos of their pets while they’re gone to keep them updated! I am available weekday afternoons and some weekends. Monday, Wed, Friday after 3pm and T Th at 5pm. On weekends, I just need a 3 day heads up! I like to make sure the pet feels loved and safe first and foremost and I make sure to keep great communication with the client! I am very adamant on making sure all the necessary tasks are completed as well.

“Ethan and Mariia were amazing taking care of my dog with separation anxiety. They kept me updated with photos and activities of what them and my dog did that day. They were very responsive and asked a lot of questions for taking care of my dog. Will definitely book again!”
