About: Hi friends! I specialize in pets with with special needs or other notable requirements, but I love sitting all types! I have loved pet sitting with my family for my entire life, and have done so independently since middle school. The extraordinary quality of my care is distinguished by my commitment to developing a real relationship with and love for your pet(s). Making your furry friends feel comfortable is my #1 priority, because I know that's what keeps YOU at peace too! I have *direct experience* independently caring for pets of all sizes, ages, and levels of need, including (but not limited to): - Seniors who need a little extra help getting around - Pets who suffer from seizures - Diabetic pets who need insulin injections and attentive glucose monitoring - Puppies who aren’t quite potty trained yet - Pets who experience separation anxiety when away from their owners - Clever pets who find creative ways to avoid taking their oral meds These situations do not deter me and won’t get in the way of effectively caring for your baby! My sweet Shih Tzu, Muppy, passed away in 2024 after a long and happy life, so I am turning here to give my love for animals a new place to go. I have lots of it to give <3 I work 100% remotely without a strict schedule, so I have plenty of time to spoil your pet(s) with attention! I'm flexible and happy to accommodate your every need. Additionally, I travel anywhere in the Bay Area for multi-night bookings, so feel free to reach out even if your location appears to be a bit far from me! *Single-night bookings, drop-ins, and dog walking are typically limited to the North Bay Area, but feel free to reach out as I may be available to accommodate. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priority, so I adapt my services to each household. Whether you want hourly photos and updates, or you'd prefer I refrain from spamming your phone whenever possible, I'm here to make sure your entire family (including the fluffy members) feels safe and happy!

About: Ambidextrous (dog, cat, all!) pet lover here to make sure your best friend is happy, healthy, and safe while you're away. Playtime, mealtime, and pets; multiple days or a quick one-day drop-in, I'm here for it. I pride myself on having great pet energy, and reading/respecting their body language. I'm currently working part time from home in San Rafael, so I have a flexible schedule for drop-ins: walks, meals, playtime/inside/yard exercise, or just a bit of human interaction are all on the menu. I take locking doors and windows seriously in my own home, for myself and my own indoor pet. I maintain the same level of care for clients.

“Gavin took great care of our 15 yr old cat and was great company while we were away.”

“Lydia did a stellar job! She is reliable, on time and a she understands how to take of a cat, which is rare. I can tell she was here and actually paid attention to our cat because of the cat’s behavior when I got home. I would recommend her to another cat owner”

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.

About: To ensure your pet receives individualized attention, we host only one dog at a time. 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). 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. ;)

About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was 7 years old when I had my first fur friend and also my family and neighbors always relied on me when they were away to take their dogs on the walk, feed an play! I’m currently going to school and doing an internship but I have a lot of flexibility in the afternoons during my days and I will be happy to take care, play and walk with your dog! I can take care of your furry friend at your house and also walk it, feed it, and play or socialize with it at the dog park.

About: What sets me apart: With over 20 years of hands-on pet care experience, I bring a unique blend of skill, patience, and genuine love for animals. As a co-founder of an animal rescue, I’ve cared for pets in every situation imaginable — from scared pups fresh off the streets to lively, energetic dogs, shy souls needing time to trust, and sweet seniors requiring extra TLC. Special skills & experience: 🐾 Puppies & Kittens: From playful pups to bottle-feeding kittens, I’ve nurtured countless young animals, guiding them through important early milestones. 🐕 Senior Care: My current specialty is caring for senior dogs, including support for mobility or sensory challenges, gentler activities, and administering medication for age-related needs. ❤️ Medical Needs: I have extensive experience helping pets through surgeries and recovery, ensuring meds are given properly and comfort, plus recovery, is always top priority. 🌟 Behavior & Temperament: Years in rescue taught me how to patiently build trust with nervous or unsure pets, introducing them safely to new environments and other animals. Your pet’s happiness, health, and comfort are truly my passion. Whether you have a bouncing puppy, a mellow older friend, or a special-needs companion, I’ll tailor my visits and walks to their unique needs — always with kindness and care. I'm currently working or going to school part-time (depending on the season), so I have plenty of time to care for your pet(s). My schedule allows for flexibility and I can help you come up with a schedule that works best for you and your pet. I’ll tailor my visits and walks to your pet's unique needs — always with kindness and care. I will also get to know your instructions clearly. I know how important it is to trust the care that you are leaving your beloved pets with.

About: I have been house and pet sitting for over 10 years from young puppies to senior cats. I mainly do it for extra income and for family, friends and referrals. I love learning about your pet's personality and quirks! I am currently in-between jobs so I have extreme flexibility. I often take dogs for walks while their owners are at work. I love going for hikes and to the beach. However, I always tailor my services to the owner and pet’s preference. I often both pet and housesit when owners will be out of town. My flexibility, kindness, cleanliness and communicative nature has built trust with my clients over the years. I respect house rules and make your pet the priority. I know your home is your safe space, and that’s why before I leave your home I make sure everything is exactly how you left it so that you can come home and immediately relax. I’ve been told by clients things like “our home is cleaner than how we left it” and “it doesn’t even seem like you lived here for a day, let alone 2 weeks!”

About: My family has always had dogs and growing up they were my main responsibility. I also have professionally dog-sat and walked for the past 4 years. I am currently a full time student but I have a very flexible schedule and am available in the mornings before 11am and most evenings to dog walk. I can play with your pup wherever you feel most comfortable whether that be in your home or at a nearby park we can make anything work!

“Monika is always incredibly attentive. We’ve used her multiple times since getting a 3 month old puppy, and she has been very attentive to our requests as he gets older. She sends tons of pictures and videos, and we always come home to happy and tired pups.”
