Ariela was brilliant, she looked after our 6 year old bulldog for 10 days. Our dog gets stressed out when boarded which leads to the dreaded bulldog skin issues every-time we go away. This was our first time booking drop in visits with Rover and it was great. Joey was looking better than ever when we returned all down to Ariela’s care. She followed his skin and eye routine and administered his medication daily. I always enjoyed getting update of him playing at the local dog park and getting lots of attention at home. I will be booking Ariela again

Tara was so great with our two furballs! She was super communicative and it was clear that our cats were very comfortable with her. Couldn’t recommend highly enough!

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. ;)

I couldn’t be happier with the care our two cats received! From the very first visit, it was clear that Abby has a genuine love for animals. Abby kept us updated with photos and notes, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. We highly recommend Abby to anyone looking for reliable, caring, and professional pet sitting. We have worked with Abby a few times this year and will absolutely be booking again! 🐾💛

About: Loving, Reliable Pet Care with a Flexible Schedule 🐶🐾 I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities — from small seniors to large energetic breeds. I’ve raised a puppy of my own and have been professionally paid to house-sit and care for multiple dogs (up to five at once). I understand how to match a dog’s energy, follow routines, and create a calm, dependable environment. I'm confident with big dogs (up to 100 lbs) and always tailor my care to each pet’s personality and needs. I’m currently in a flexible, open-schedule period and available most weekdays and weekends. I can often accommodate last-minute requests and daytime visits. If your pet thrives on routine, I’m happy to set up regular visits or walks. My availability may change slightly week-to-week, but I’ll always communicate clearly and keep my calendar updated. I take pet care seriously — you’re trusting me with a member of your family, and I don’t take that lightly. I always follow your instructions closely, check gates and leashes, and make sure pets are secure, safe, and comfortable at all times. I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos during visits, so you’re never left wondering how things are going. I’m calm under pressure, and I work to create a low-stress experience for both you and your pet.

About: I have a lot of experience with animals, not just cats and dogs, but birds, fish, hamsters and Guinea pigs. I have cared for my family dog since she was born and she's 14 now. I love animals and am so happy to spend any of my time with them. I have availability throughout the week and weekend as I spend most of my time working from home. This can span throughout the day as well as needed. I am happy to strictly follow whatever is needed for the safety of the pets. Depending on what the pets need and what is requested, I can let them outside, take them on walks, or keep them inside and play with them.

About: As a lifelong lover of animals, I can not think of a better way to fill my free time than to care for and hang out with your awesome animals! I’ve been caring for dogs, other pets, children (nannying , teaching, tutoring, etc) and homes for over 15 years. I have local and international references that are available for you to contact regarding my experience and quality of care for your furry friends. I am even happy to do some light housekeeping in your home. My daytime job as a nanny is flexible, so I’m available for daytime feedings, visits, potty breaks, playtime, and/ or walks. My partner Ben will be handling most communication and care for your pet while I’m at work (preschool teacher, 9-5 kind of schedule). He has open availability. Your pet might not have to be alone at all under our care! I would love to care for your dogs in my home! Due to my partners allergies I can’t have cats in my house, unfortunately. We have a spacious 4 bedroom home with 2 adults, no kids, no pets. We also have a spacious backyard that is fully fenced.

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.

About: Had pets my whole life, always loved to take care of them and spend my time to make sure they are happy and enjoying my company. Animals are pure joy and they deserve nothing but love and understanding of their feelings. On my household we always had at least two dogs and over the years i also experience taking care of cats and even reptiles. I understand a puppy/kitten need a different care then a senior pet and if you respect and love them as they should be, you can always get the best out of them. I have a physical education degree and went, also, to university for electrical engineering for 2,5 years. Learned, mostly, in college how to teach people different activities/sports related and to respect and understand their different personalities. I have a Black Belt in martial arts(jiu jitsu) which also tough me how to be humble and peacefull towards others. I will listen to all of yours instructions to make sure i can do my best taking care of your pet. I’m currently working part time and that gives me a flexible schedule to not only care for pets but also have quality/fun time with them and build relationships. Me and my fiancé live in a spacious apartment surrounded by nature and great places to hike and have walks with dogs. We like to fill our schedule with 4 pawed friends for extra fun! We are accustomed to giving baths, leashed and unleashed walks/hikes, and doing some training with dogs that are with us for an extended time.

About: I have over 10 years of hands-on pet experience, including caring for both cats and dogs at different life stages. I independently trained my dog as a puppy, working on basic commands, leash manners, and routine reinforcement through patience and consistency. I also have experience caring for a senior cat, which taught me the importance of attentiveness, gentle handling, and recognizing changes in behavior or comfort. I'm calm, observant, and adaptable, and I take the time to understand each pet's individual needs and personality. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate focused time and attention to pet care. I'm available for daytime visits, walks, feedings, and extended care, and I can adapt my routine to meet each pet's specific needs and schedule. I prioritize safety, cleanliness, and consistency when caring for pets in a client's home. I follow all provided instructions closely and ensure pets are supervised and comfortable at all times. I'm attentive to routines, feeding guidelines, and behavioral cues, and I communicate clearly with pet owners to provide updates and peace of mind. I treat every pet and home with respect, care, and responsibility!
