Megan is always on time and does an excellent job of keeping me informed of how things are going. She’s taken the time to get to know my dog and his preferences, which makes me feel better about being away from him. I know he’s happy with Megan!

Emilie is amazing!! We have a very timid and shy cat who hides under our bed whenever a new visitor comes over. He was already warmed up to her on the second day and giving her cuddles and purring like crazy. She goes above and beyond when it comes to following requests and is incredibly sweet. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a big hearted, highly professional pet sitter. 10/10!! 🩷

Rachel is a dog whisperer. She has a calming demeanor and provides loving, safe, training and caregiving for dogs. Our rescue dog (Oliver) adores Rachel! Rachel is so giving and so attuned to both dogs and their parents. Rachel provides advice in a non-judgmental and caring manner so that all of our dogs feel safe, and are happy and well adjusted. I so very highly recommend Rachel for training, dog walking, and caregiving.

We are so lucky that Thomas is our most trusted caregiver for our dog child, Sandy, and home sitter for our spot in Sebastopol, CA. After considering our long list of good friends, colleagues, cohorts and family, we always only ever call Thomas and honestly if he's not a available, we postpone our trip until his schedule opens up. He's really the only one we trust to exercise Sandy and provide the loving attention we would if we were home. He's also very attentive to plants, all types, and our chickens ~ which we were so grateful he knew how to manage. Thank You Thomas for being so exceptionally attentive and caring!

Kim is a very responsible person. She's reliable, loving and very protective when it comes down to pets in her care. I'm Kim's sister and remember that since she was little Kim would be the neighborhood dog walker. Kim was the go to when they needed anything. Kim grew up with pets and raised Schmutz our family cat until he was old and passed away. Since then Kim's home has been sought out by cats that needed loving care. They show up on her doorstep needing love, food and of course a bed to snuggle in. I feel Kim would make a great pet sitter because she is a natural at it. She loves animals!!! She takes care of them with love.

About: Hi, I’m Kathryn, a transplant from the East Coast with a special love of animals. I say special because I was never allowed to have pets growing up so, for the past several years, I’ve been making up for lost time. I’ve traveled the world to care for peoples’ cats and dogs while their owners are away, regularly returning to a community in France where my network has grown organically through word of mouth recommendations. I’ve cared for spry and senior dogs, aloof and engaged kitties, tailoring my efforts to each one’s specific needs. Whether you need someone to walk and play with your pooch or be a loving companion to your furry friend when you can’t be there, I’ll slip seamlessly into their routine, minimizing disruption with snuggles and attention. When I’m not caring for animals, you can find me hiking on one of the many majestic trails this region has to offer or engaging in creative pursuits like jewelry making and design. As a freelancer and entrepreneur, I have a fluid schedule which allows me to shift directions quickly and effectively. I prefer this method of operating as I seldom have a dull moment during the day. I’m proud to have the trust of many repeat clients who praise my reliability and the bond I have with their pets. I know how important peace of mind is so regularly update my clients with photos, videos and messages.

About: With over 20 years of experience, I have a deep understanding of caring for a variety of pets, both my own and others’. Growing up with cats sparked my lifelong love for animals, and over the years, I’ve cared for dogs, chickens, goats, and cats. Our family dog, now 17 years old, holds a special place in our hearts. I know how crucial it is to have a reliable and trustworthy person looking after your pets when you’re unable to, and I bring that level of care and commitment to every pet I watch over. I currently work part-time and have a fairly flexible schedule, allowing me to accommodate a variety of pet care needs. However, since I have children at home, I kindly ask for at least one day’s notice to ensure childcare arrangements can be made unless your pet would enjoy a little visitor tagging along. My goal is to provide focused and attentive care for your pet, so planning ahead helps me give them the best experience possible. Our senior dog prefers a quiet home without furry visitors, so at this time, I am only offering pet care services at your home. I pride myself on being detail-oriented and will closely follow your instructions to ensure your pet is cared for exactly as you prefer. Whether it’s feeding schedules, medication, or special routines, I’ll make sure everything is done just right while providing your pet with plenty of love and attention to keep them happy and comfortable.

If you have any doubts about leaving your furry friend in the care of a home sitter, Marisa will put your anxieties to rest. She took great care of my good buddy Gus the Cat, hanging out with him, giving him treats, and sending daily images of the little guy. I simply could not be more pleased, or grateful.

I have been using Lux for just over a year and I consider myself so very lucky to have her! She loves my kitty cats as if they were her own. She's very attentive, respectful and responsive. Every time I return home the kitties are very happy and the house is almost better than I left it. She keeps the litter box nice and clean and doesn't mind doing special meal prep for my somewhat picky eater. Most important (well, maybe) is that she sends photos of my little guys to keep me updated and I just love that! I can't recommend her highly enough. Ann F

About: I've taken care of dogs for most of my life, and have worked with a wide range of temperaments and breeds. I volunteered at a rescue where I gained experience working with dogs with traumatic histories and behavioral issues. I'm also experienced working with large and high-energy dog breeds. I am a graduate student at Samuel Merritt looking for opportunities to make some money while spending some quality time with pets! I am available weekends as well as weekdays in the mornings and evenings. I cater my services to meet your dog's unique needs. Care including walks or runs, playtime, snuggles, and photos sent to you while you're away.
