About: I've grown up taking care of both cats and dogs. I love animals and look forward to helping you care your your precious pets. In the past I have worked as a pet and house sitter for a couple families. I always enjoy any time spent with animals. I have flexible schedule making me available to care for your fur babies! I live in Guerneville, but frequently go to Sebastopol throughout the week. So mainly looking to work for ones in these areas. But open to adventuring in to further surrounding areas if its a good fit for us both! Currently I am not able to board pets in my home because I am renting. But I would be happy to stop by and spend time with your pets whenever is needed!

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.

“Eliza is wonderful and is extremely attentive to my dogs.”

“Kyle has been my go-to dog walker for the last two years. He walks my husky Korra 2-3 times per week depending on my schedule, and has also taken care of her when I've gone away on vacation. Kyle is kind, responsible, flexible and so easy to work with and communicate with. My work schedule shifts week to week, and I sometimes need to ask for a walk last minute, and Kyle is always able to help. We love him!”

“Laura is getting to know Yogee and also getting better at walking him. He is a energetic puppy and needs a good well paced walk. She is very patient with him which is lovely as he is slowly adapting to her. I hope to have her walk Yogee more in the future. She was very helpful and even started using the Rover cards. She is a really nice person.”

About: I grew up with dogs, currently I have an in door out door cat and have had bunnies as an adult as as well. I really enjoy playing with animals and always have since I was a child. My schedule is very flexible and I would be able to accommodate most requests with specific times that could be required to care for your pet I have a fenced in back patio that would suit a small dog. I live near parks that would be fun to walk to and play at for them.

About: I have had pets since very young and have a dog a cat and 2 guinea pigs at the moment. Willing to work around your requests. I am available most of the time besides on Sundays. I do pet sitting, house sitting, doggy walks, meds, etc. I'm good with all sizes, breeds, and ages. I am willing to do anything such as give medication if needed or like take your pups somewhere else or even take them to vet appointments

About: I have experience caring for multiple dogs at a time, including caring for three dogs in one household and two dogs in another. I was responsible for their daily care and making sure they were safe, fed, exercised, and comfortable. Managing several dogs at once taught me how to stay patient, attentive, and organized, even when they were energetic or had different personalities and needs. I genuinely enjoy being around dogs and would treat every pet in my care like they were my own. I only have a college class twice a week for only one hour of my day and I have a part-time job that is only certain days of the week. Rover will be the perfect fill-in for all that extra time that I have, and I will always put my customers first. I live in a very mellow neighborhood where there are also many dogs around me where people are walking their dogs and having them on leashes, I live in an apartment that is very dog friendly and I will spend all of my time taking the dog or taking it out on the grass, we do have a dog area at my apartment.

About: Hello! I’ve been dog walking for the past year and it’s become my favorite activity. I give careful, loving attention, and it’s a plus if the dog has been trained to respond to commands. I keep up with dog behavioral tips, carry essential items on-the-go, and you won’t find me scrolling on my phone during walks! Dog walker who will go the “extra mile”! 😊 I regularly walk a playful and adorable Labradoodle named Jerry, and a snuggable ChiPom named Lucy. I don’t yet have a dog of my own but I will always make time for them. Simply put, dogs make life better! I’m a former librarian who enjoys helping others, and when I’m not walking, you’ll find me planning on volunteer committees, singing in choirs, and mentoring a fantastic teen. I look forward to meeting you and your pooch/pooches! My services currently include walking only, not pet sitting. Safety comes first, then fun. I am easily adaptable to following specific instructions or rules from each owner.

About: I've owned at least one pet consistently since I was 5 years old. I was a pre-vet major when I started college, have worked in veterinary offices, volunteered at the humane society and have been pet sitting for years. I absolutely adore animals and love having them around. I work full time from home and share custody of my son and my dog who are with me (about) every other week. Both my dog and my son love animals are are very friendly, kinda and loving to all pets and they both love to play with other dogs! I have a cat at home as well who is dog friendly and sometimes plays with my dog or will hide when not in the mood. Pet care is a daily routine for me. We'd love for your furry friend to join our walks and home for lots of fun and play while you're away! I take great pride in learning what makes your pets the most comfortable while you're away. If you prefer me to stay in your home that is of course the least stressful for your furbaby. If you prefer I host your furbaby(s) at my home, my cat and dog (depending on the time you book) will keep them company and have lots of play time and snuggles! I have a small fenced yard but nearby dog parks and homemade treats! Because I work from home dogs are given daily walks and several opportunities to go to the bathroom outside. If a dog goes to the bathroom in the house repeatedly, a $150 cleaning fee will be added to your booking. I make every effort to work with you and the dog to prevent this but if it continues the fee will be added to your stay.

About: My love for animals grew when I got my dog moe (the chihuahua in my photos) he is my bestfriend and he is the cutest dog ever! I love spending time with your pets and especially taking tons of photos to send to you. I like to give updates to you throughout the day so you know your bestfriend is safe with me! I do online school at the Junior College so I would be at your house for most of the time giving all the scratches and love to your pet ☺️ I am free throughout the week and can normally fit around anyones schedule. If things come up in the future they will be updated that week on my calendar if I become booked Whenever I leave to go run an errand I always check to make sure all the doors are locked. It is something I always do, even at my own home to make sure the pets are safe. I also like to take them out ever 2 hours just to be sure they are always relieved. If you ask for walks I always love doing them and getting some exercise for your dog and me!

About: With three decades of hands-on experience, I’ve had the joy and responsibility of caring for a wide range of animals and homes. From energetic puppies to senior pets needing medication, multi-pet households to quiet countryside retreats, I’ve built a reputation for being dependable, detail-oriented, and deeply caring. Over the years, I’ve cared for: • Dogs of all breeds, ages, and energy levels • Cats with a wide range of personalities and needs • Rabbits, turtles, fish, and other small animals • Homes big and small—always kept clean, secure, and well-tended What sets me apart is my consistency and calm presence. I show up on time, follow routines as requested, and keep in regular communication while you’re away. Whether it’s administering medication, watering plants, bringing in the mail, or offering your pets lots of playtime and affection, I approach each sit with the same level of care and respect I would want for my own home and animals. Over the years, many of my clients have become repeat families and even friends—because they know they can trust me to show up with integrity, kindness, and competence every single time. I am a yoga facilitator and artist focused on intentional living. I love nature wanders and being present with all creatures I get to encounter. I follow each animal’s schedule—morning walks, feeding, medication, play, and check-ins—while keeping the home clean and calm. I stay observant and responsive, making sure pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for every step of the way. In your home or mine, I follow each pet’s routine with care—feeding, walks, meds, play, and rest. I create a calm, safe space and stay attentive to their needs, keeping them happy, healthy, and loved while you’re away.

About: With over two decades caring for animals, I understand the importance of consistency, structure, and heartfelt connection. I tailor care to their unique & individual energy level and temperament, making sure they feel safe, loved, and engaged. Skills include: • Providing daily walks, playtime, and mental stimulation • Administering medication and special dietary care • Following training cues and behavioral guidelines • Handling puppies, seniors, and animals with special needs • Ensuring safety and comfort during solo time or socialization • Offering basic grooming and cleanliness maintenance I’m dedicated to creating a fun, secure space for pets to thrive while their humans are away. I’m currently focused on getting a book published, which means my schedule can be flexible yet full—if you catch my drift. Working with animals not only keeps me inspired but also supports my growing business, which combines professional cleaning with attentive pet sitting. ⸻ Pet care is a meaningful and energizing part of my daily routine. Whether it’s morning walks, play sessions, feeding, or simply offering quiet companionship, I prioritize pets’ well-being and happiness every day. Because I’m currently working on publishing a book, I have the flexibility to dedicate focused, consistent time to each animal I care for. This means I can adapt my schedule to meet your pet’s specific needs—whether that’s extra playtime, medication administration, or simply being a calm presence while you’re away. Our family continues to heal from the loss of our beloved cat, Giraffe, last year. Caring for animals has been a vital source of comfort and strength as we embrace this new chapter. I’m dedicated to creating a clean, calm, and nurturing environment where pets feel safe and cherished. I look forward to providing thoughtful, reliable care for your furry family members while you’re away. Pet care is not just a job for me; it’s a source of inspiration and joy that fits naturally into my lifestyle and supports the balance I’m building in life here in the Santa Cruz Mountains. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or mine, my goal is always to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free environment tailored to their needs. In Your Home: I follow your routines closely — feeding schedules, exercise, medication, and any special instructions — so your pet experiences as little disruption as possible. I keep their space clean, respect their boundaries, and offer companionship and playtime based on their personality and energy level. I also ensure your home stays tidy and secure while you’re away. In My Home: If your pet stays with me, they’ll be welcomed into a calm, comfortable space where I prioritize consistency and care. I maintain a clean, pet-friendly environment with plenty of attention, exercise, and mental stimulation. I’m attentive to signs of stress or discomfort and adjust accordingly to keep them happy and relaxed. No matter the setting, I treat every animal like family — with patience, respect, and affection — ensuring they feel safe and loved throughout their stay.

“Danielle responded to my request quickly and followed up with specific questions. She took my girls for a super fun hike with her pup and gave them some of their special treats when they got home. I have two happy pups!”
