House Sitting in Forestville

“We love Andrea! She has stayed with our little love, Cleo, twice now and it’s been a dream for both experiences. Andrea is thoughtful and communicative, leaving us messages and sending updates about Cleo’s adventures. I always know that Cleo is in great hands when Andrea is here. We will definitely continue to work with her!”

“Thank you, Holly for your service in watching Ryder and being with him. Sorry it took me so long to get back to you. I loved the pictures you sent from the trips you made to the park. My brother said rides in the car are what he lives for. I appreciate your efforts to entertain him. It helps so much to be relieved knowing there is someone there for him. He gets lonely so easily.”

About: Hello! I am an experienced dog and cat owner, currently looking for full time pet sitting and or walking gigs. I have experience with high drive/energy breeds, dogs that struggle with reactivity towards people and other animals and aggressive or nervous cats and dogs. I have knowledge of both dog and cat body language and go the extra mile to look out for anything out of the ordinary to make sure your pet is safe with me! I currently have no place of employment and have all the time to take care of your wonderful pets! I can stop by feed, water and/or walk your pup, can watch your pet at your residence, or just stop by to make sure they’re alright while you’re out! I would only be available to care for your animals inside your residence, give them some exercise around the neighborhood or nearest park! I make time during the day to take care of my own animals and while I work for you your furry family member will be my priority!

“Veronica provided peace of mind with the care of our dog. She was consistently responsive to email inquiries, she arrived both days right on time, she brought good energy and was thoughtful and caring about dog sitting (which included taking several walks in a beautiful setting. I would not hesitate to work with Veronica again. She was very responsible and genuine in her approach.”

“Jamie is an absolutely fantastic and lovely pet sitter. They housesat for us over the weekend, following my pet's care routine to a T. My whole crew (4 critters) loved all the attention, including my normally quite picky aloof cat. We will definitely be working with Jamie again in the future!”

“Peter was very attentive to our Rhodesian Ridgeback, Hijo. It was very clear that he made Hijo his priority and Hijo was so comfortable with him that Peter got to see some of his antics usually reserved for folks he knows well. We felt very confident Peter had everything under control while we stepped away. Jen”

About: Hi, I’m Bernadette! Caring for animals isn’t just something I’ve done my entire life—it's something I love. I’m a former pet shop owner and have been a professional pet sitter for over 30 years. I’ve cared for just about every kind of pet (from horses to mice), but dogs have always been my faves. I offer: 🐾 Doggie daycare in my home 🐾 Overnight boarding in my home 🐾 Drop-in visits to your home within Graton for dogs, cats, and other pets 🐾 Occasionally I'm available to house sit when I don't have any boarders booked My home is conveniently located near the Graton town center, serving West Sonoma County, CA. A Cozy, Calm Environment for Small Dogs: I specialize in small dogs (up to 15 lbs), with occasional exceptions. Senior dogs very are welcome! Your friendly, quiet little companion will enjoy spending time with my two sweet senior dogs in a peaceful home setting. Because I live in close proximity to neighbors, I’m not able to accept frequent barkers. Comfort & Safety First: Dogs have access to a secure, fenced yard for fresh air and exercise. I let dogs out at least every couple of hours during the day. I supervise outdoor time carefully. Overnight rates cover a full 24-hour period. Since I work from home, I’m almost always around—which means your dog receives consistent supervision, attention, and care. I’m happy to accommodate most special needs with advance discussion. (Sadly, due to my new living situation, I can no longer take puppies unless they are very calm, reliably house trained, and able to wear a diaper or relax in a crate when in the house.) IMPORTANT: To help visiting pups settle in, I require dogs to wear a diaper initially, until I’m confident they’re reliably house-trained (new environments can trigger marking behaviors, especially in males). If your dog eats raw food, please provide it pre-portioned into individual meals (I'm vegan and prefer not to handle raw meat). Bringing their own bed is highly recommended to help them feel secure and comfortable. The only other things they need are a leash and food. Most dogs relax and settle in within a few hours—and they receive plenty of love. If you’re looking for a calm, attentive, experienced home environment for your small dog, I’d love to meet you both! 🐶 NOTE: Mr. Q, my blue and gold macaw, prefers dogs who don't try to eat him! I work from home, so I'm almost always around to interact with your pets. Most dogs love coming here and can't wait to get in the front door! Little dogs enjoy hanging out in my quiet home and fenced yard with my two mellow old pups. Even most dogs with separation anxiety quickly relax and have fun. It's like a doggie play date!

“Bronte did a great job watching my two dogs over night. She left everything in order at the house and the dogs really liked her from the moment she came through the door. I would highly recommend her for pet sitting.”

About: I have had experience with animals, especially dogs since before I could remember. I grew a strong passion for them and the care for animals. I have experience with all dog types as well. I would make sure your dog get’s the love it deserves! I work part-time so I have days with extra time on my hands that I could spend with your pups! I am mostly open on weekends and weekdays will vary! I take my dog on daily walks with me. Always on a leash for everybody’s safety. I make sure the dog comes first if I feel something is wrong or off I will stop and go back.

“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Rithy! She is timely, communicative and treats your pet like they’re her own. This was my first time using Rover and I feel lucky to have found Rithy. She stayed with Clover for the weekend, texted me photos of their adventures, and she made homemade food for Clover! I think they both had a great weekend together.”

“Naycis was so sweet with Bogart! She was very attentive to him and took him out to explore his surroundings which he loved. She was wonderful attending to all his needs as an 18 year-old. She regularly sent pictures and updates and was a lovely person. Bogart would love to see her again!”

About: I have lived with pets my entire life. I have experience with pets of all ages and sizes, from a puppy boston terrier to a senior german shepherd. I have experience walking large dogs and dogs that do not get along with other animals. I love getting to meet and work with animals and getting to know all their unique personalities! I am currently in school and working. On the weekends I am more than happy to spend the entire time with your pet, and during weekdays I am happy to stay overnight after I get off of work. I will spend quality time with your animal (if that is what they want) and will ensure they have enough food and water, especially if I am helping out on a weekday. I am very attentive to the specific needs of each pet and household and am willing to work with you to ensure your pet gets the best care possible.

About: I've taken care of both dogs and cats for the past 15 years. I have experience caring for senior dogs and cats. I also have experience with horses. I am currently working Monday through Thursday. I am available Friday, Saturday and Sundays during the day. I may also have some evening availability depending on my schedule. At this time, I am unable to accept pets in my home. However, I am available to come to your house and take care of your pet.

“Alex is great. Our frenchie is so comfortable with him and he’s a pleasure to work with.”

“Christopher is a true dog lover and I feel fortunate to have found him to take care of my pack whenever I’m not around. I have a lot of attendant anxiety when trying to pair my dogs with a suitable sitter- for no other reason than that they need a lot of exercise and ask for a lot of attention. Christopher alleviated every ounce of attendant stress experienced by leaving my dogs in someone’s care. He took my dogs on outings, updated me with charming photos and was completely unflappable when it came to managing two high energy and young labs along with a corgi who needs to herd everyone to feel fulfilled. On top of all of this, Christopher took excellent care of my home- maybe even leaving it cleaner than I did for him. 5 stars for Christopher, absolutely!”

“Kelli was an absolute dream. Our house was spotless when we returned and the pups and kitties so well taken care of. She put my mind at ease from day one and the pictures she sent of the pups twice a day helped me feel not so far away. I highly recommend Kelli for any kind of petsitting. We were gone 9 days and that felt like a lot, but she made it so much easier.”

About: Caring for animals has always been part of my life, and as a rescue cat owner, I understand how important it is to keep pets comfortable in their own environment. I’m patient, attentive, and respectful of each pet’s unique personality and routine. Whether it’s daily walks, feeding, playtime, or extra care for shy or senior pets, I approach every stay with reliability and calm energy. My goal is for you to feel completely at ease knowing your pets and home are in good hands. Pet and house sitting are my primary focus right now, giving me open availability for overnight and extended stays. I spend consistent time in the home to keep pets comfortable in their routine. I may step out briefly during the day for errands, but I prioritize being present and treating each home with respect and care. I provide care exclusively in my client’s home so pets can stay comfortable in their own environment. I carefully follow all care instructions, keep pets secure during walks and outdoor time, and maintain their normal routines. I respect each home as if it were my own and provide regular updates so owners feel confident and informed while they’re away.

“Lauren is simply the BEST! I wouldn’t think of using anyone else. I know my Luna and Juice (dog and cat) are in the best, most loving hands! Thanks again, Lauren!”
