About: More than just walks and feeding, I can provide simple puppy training and care to fun stimulation for adult dogs to adoring care for your old best friend. Same with kittens and cats! Playing and litter scooping and whatever is needed. Let me love on your fur babies the way I would love on mine! Overnight stays at your house are available or daily visits as needed. My rates can be modified, depending on your pets’ specific needs. I have a very flexible schedule as Pet Care is my primary focus. I also work part-time with Pets Lifeline (Sonoma’s local no kill shelter) as a humane educator in their after school education program. I currently only offer care at client homes. In rare occasions, I may be able to accommodate boarding at my place of residence. Case by case.

“Robin took such great care of Leo the few times I left him with her! She took him on walks and made sure he was well looked after with her family and their other furry friends and always sent pictures to keep me updated. Thank you Robin! Would definitely recommend your services and book again if needed in the area 🙏”


About: As a fur mom myself, I treat other pets as if they were my own. I have two dogs and a cat. Two of them are seniors and I've had them since they were young. I believe in training basic commands, positive enforcement, and lots of snuggles. When I'm not pet sitting, I'm hanging out with my pups outside while they get their zoomies out. I'm comfortable with excited pups, counter surfers, and shy pups. We all have our quirks! I take care of our 3 pets (2 dogs, 1 cats) and their care is my top priority on my day to day. Feeding, training, and getting the zoomies out. I like to keep the dogs routine as much as possible. Some dogs can get anxious when someone new is introduced and I find it's best to keep things as simple and normal as possible.

“I can only say great things about Gabriel! On pretty short notice, Gabriel was able to walk my 2 small dogs for 10 days. He clearly loves dogs & they loved him. He is very reliable & attentive to the dogs needs. I won’t hesitate to hire him again.”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my whole life and I miss going on walks with my old dogs. I would love the opportunity to spend my time and go on walks with some in the neighborhood! I’m currently unemployed and spending some time traveling, so I have a lot of free time I would like to spend helping out other pet parents. I have a cat right now and I look forward to spending some time with dogs! I have an apartment that I keep my cat in right now. I would be able to do overnight sittings soon! Any interactions with the clients or their homes will be incredibly respectful and appreciative.

About: I've grown up with dogs throughout my entire life, but I've recently moved out of my parents house as I'm pursuing my undergraduate degree at UC Davis. My dogs have moved to Italy, and I miss them a lot. Also, I am also looking to earn some money to put towards my education and my future. So, taking care of your pets is a win-win! I have years of experience raising puppies, spending time with feisty kittens, taking care of senior dogs, and playing with pets of all activity levels—from mellow to boundless energy. My approach to pets is to meet them where they are at by understanding their behavioral cues. Each pet has a different personality that comes with unique physical and emotional needs, and I will prioritize understanding and addressing those. I will make sure your pet feels respected and comfortable in my care. Also, your trust in me is of utmost importance. I know that it takes a lot to have someone you don't know well look after your pet. I will prioritize communication, sending photos and updates, so you have peace of mind! I appreciate your trust! I have finished school, and I am currently on summer break! I have a very open schedule, so I can care for your pet any day of the week. I enjoy spending time outdoors daily and staying active, so I am also available for dog walks. I know many dog-walking spots around Sonoma County because I grew up here with dogs I walked regularly, including fenced-in runs, short walks, or big open spaces, depending on your dog's needs. I have a fenced-in back and front patio, and I can crate your pet as well. I do not have any pets in my home at this time. I can take your pet outside to a beautiful open-space walk being just a step outside. If your pet enjoys a swim, I am a short drive from the Glen Ellen reservoir, and I would be happy to take him or her there! I am also prepared to take care of pets with high activity levels who need daily runs in open space.

About: Hello. I am only accepting overnight bookings for 5 nights or longer at this time. I am a mature adult who would love to care for your beloved four-legged (or less) family member. I am a deeply caring, compassionate, ethical, conscientious person who can absolutely be trusted with your most valued babies. Rest assured, I will respect and care for your pets and home as I would want someone else to do for me. As a former professional, I understand the needs and demands on a busy life and hope that I can help relieve some stress and uncertainty. I assure you that I am a lover of all creatures and easily create a bond and trust with pets. They sense that I am safe and worthy of their trust and affection. I look forward to talking with you personally about how I can ease your mind, and meet your pets needs. When I do overnights in the client's home I am usually around a good chunk of the day as long as you have a good, fast internet connection. I currently work about 3 hours a day from my laptop remotely so I can be right in your home most of the day. I would just go out for to run errands. I like it when the owner leaves behind instructions for what to do for the pets so that I am aware of their schedule because pets love to stick to routine.

About: I’ve taken care of every kind of pet you can think of. I started using Wag a few years ago and fell in love. Each has a specific personality and all are very loving. I have watched my dad’s boxer, my mom’s shitzu, wag customers’ dogs from lab to terrier, a few friends’ cats and most recently began caretaking my own kitten. I have worked with dogs and cats that need to take medication and crate training as well. I am excited to meet your furry friends! I make my own schedule and currently have Sunday, Monday and Tuesdays pretty open. I also can fit in a drop in or quick walk when I am not in meetings! I have experience caring for both dogs and cats while their owner was away. The most important thing to remember is a. Always refer to the owners manual they have given you! And b. Just give them love and keep their routine the same and you’re golden :)

About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my genuine love for animals and my dedication to their happiness and well-being. I bring 5 years of experience caring for pets of all ages, from playful puppies, cats, to senior pets who need extra patience and care. I’m skilled at reading animals’ body language, adapting to their unique needs, and creating a safe, nurturing environment for them. Whether it’s administering medication, working on basic training, or simply providing plenty of belly rubs and attention, I treat every pet like they’re part of my family. Your furry companion will always be in loving, capable hands with me! In addition to years of experience with pets of all ages, I specialize in providing soothing pet massages that help reduce stress, improve circulation, and promote relaxation. Whether your furry friend is a playful pup, a senior in need of extra care, or simply enjoys a calming touch, I tailor my approach to their unique needs. I'm currently unemployed and have the time to look for a full-time job and give your pets the loving care they need on-site or for drop-ins as needed. I can take care of your pet(s) at your home or drop in and take them for walks, feed them, and give them all the love they need.


“Christiana was absolutely wonderful during her time with Dory. I booked her for a walk and got no less than three pictures and updates during and after the walk. I have never felt more comfortable with my dog in the care of another person. If I could give more than a five star rating, I would have. I cannot wait to use her spectacular services again!”


“Madaline continues to show her professionalism when working with our Oliver. There were so many obstacles in her way today w construction and movers outside but she makes sure to take care of Oliver no matter what.”


About: When I lost my own dog baby 10 years ago I started dog sitting to fill the void. I’ve cared for and fallen in love with several Sonoma dogs in that time. I love all shapes and sizes. I’m available for walks most weekdays between 10am and 6pm. My schedule is fairly flexible, with notice. I’d love to discuss pet sitting once we agree we’re a good match. I believe dogs are most comfortable in their home environment. I will maintain the routine they are accustomed to. I give lots of love, affection and exercise (when appropriate for the dog).


About: We have an 4 yr old black and white dog, Riggins, who loves to play outside in our large fenced in yard. When she gets tired we have a dog door into our living room with a bed and water and toys! Riggins loves having friends come over and play with her! We can also separate the dogs if they need their alone time. Our yard has shade and sunny areas and has a very large area to run around! The fence is around 6'-0" high. So much room for fun! I work from home so I watch after them all day! Our dog Riggins likes to listen to music and is very social able once she says hello! Would love to meet you and your dog to see if they get along with Riggins our dog! I work from home so I am always around for the dogs. They have free range of the yard and a dog door if they need to come inside. We have gates if they need some alone time as well. We have a fenced in yard with a four year old dog and we have a son who is just about 3 years old and we love having friends over! We have numerous beds and water bowls for everyone to use

Gillian O.
“I truly don’t know what we’d do without Gillian—she’s become such a special part of our lives (and our dogs’ lives!). She watches our two Cavalier King Charles Spaniels weekly, and not only does she walk and feed them, she genuinely loves them like they’re her own. I trust her completely in our home—whether it's for daily visits or when she house/pet sits while we travel. She always sends the sweetest updates and photos, which bring me so much peace of mind. Her attention to detail, warmth, and deep love for animals is so clear in everything she does. I’ve referred her to my own family and they adore her, too. We are forever grateful to have her—she’s the kind of person every pet parent dreams of finding. 💛”

Jane B.
“Jane is an exceptional dog mommy and dog lover extraordinaire! I met Jane and her two sweet pooches when she contacted me through Rover to sit Ivy and Kowboy. She was very careful to interview me in our Meet and Greet, and I could tell she was very precise in how she expected her dogs to be treated. She will be as mindful as this when watching your lovey! Jane is active. She is an avid hiker and will definitely give your dogs all the exercise they want. She is an expert ball tosser, and has no issue piling into the car for a special outing , if that is your wish. Jane is fastidious. If she minds your home, she will treat it like the precious space it is to you and your family. She will respect your privacy, and leave your home at least in the same condition she found it upon arrival. I think the world of Jane and would select her to watch my dog, if I had one presently. In fact, I refer all requests that I am unable to fill to Jane. That’s my confidence in her! In short, Jane is GREAT!!”

She not only took wonderful care of them, but also took great care of my house, leaving it cleaner than I left it. She's the sweetest gal and anyone should be confident and happy to leave their furry friends in her capable hands.”

Victoria W.
“Victoria has taken very special care of our golden retriever Theo. He is always happy to see her and could I say in love with her. She has to feed him a special diet and give him 3 different medicines. He always seems to be well taken care of when we return and he is very sad to see her leave. I could be jealous, but I’m just so overjoyed in her care and his response to her. She has also taken care of our home and it looks better than we return. She is trustworthy and professional.”


Katie S.
“Katie is one of the most caring, nurturing and thoughtful people I know. She's always early, never just on time, and goes above and beyond her "responsibilities." She's more than responsible, she's "ponsible" because nothing needs to be "re"-done when Katie does it. Not only does Katie have empathy for us bipedal folk, but she has a deep love for all things quadruped, including your dog. I know once this testimonial is published and you hire Katie as your pet's caregiver, you will come back and nod your head in complete agreement.”


Monique M.
“Monique was awesome! She is reliable and a very attentive fur baby care taker. She loved to cuddle with my dogs and gave them 100% of her attention. She provided photos and updates, which we truly appreciated. I will definitely use her again.”

Madaline D.

“Madaline continues to show her professionalism when working with our Oliver. There were so many obstacles in her way today w construction and movers outside but she makes sure to take care of Oliver no matter what.”


Meri M.
“Meri is an excellent pet sitter. She watched our 95 lb. Labrador Retriever for nearly 10 years. She took him on frequent walks, possibly more than he normally received. She was attentive to his quirks and as he aged she focused care on his changing needs. Meri is a true professional, a good person and a caring soul. She truly loves dogs.”
