“Elliot was a great fit for our pup Clementine and he took excellent care of her. He kept us updated on how she was doing through the day and took her on multiple walks when she was higher energy. He was kind and trustworthy. We feel very confident in Elliot’s abilities to care for our Pup and look forward to booking him in the future !!”
“Madeline is an awesome dog sitter! The day she came to meet the dogs, they immediately responded to her including our older anxious one who's not very friendly with strangers. Madeline's warmth and attention won them over immediately. She sent us daily updates including photos throughout her stay. When we arrived home the house was immaculate and there was a fresh batch of cookies welcoming us home. We highly recommend Madeline as a top notch dog sitter and will request her services again when the time comes. Thank you Madeline!!”

About: I have had a German Shepherd companion throughout my life--very blessed. That wasn't easy either as I lived and worked 26 years overseas--22 years in Asia, and took my GSD with me (every where possible). I have also "owned" some great cats--both here in the USA but also at my home in Thailand. Most of my GSD companions I trained myself and they were great in company--took them to work, took them traveling, had friends over...always good, always gentle, and very smart. I am currently semi-retired, so pet care is actually a nice treat. We--my wife, Hien, and I both animal lovers and enjoy the company of pets. We are unable to care for pets where we live, so caring for pets where they live is a very nice opportunity for us. Enjoyable.
About: I’ve grown up taking care of cats and dogs. I know the responsibility it takes to lovingly care for your animals. I’ve been taking care of other people’s pets for about 8 years. I treat them as a member of the family because that’s what they are to their families. I work as a substitute teacher and will be gone from about 7:30 to 4:00 when I’m subbing. I will make time before and after work to feed, walk and play with your animals. I care for pets in their owners home or I do drop in visits depending on what is required by the owners needs and animals they have.
“Tyler and Sam were great! They took great care of our dog, were respectful of our home, and were very communicative. When we got home our dog was a happy boy and our house was spotless. Would be happy to book them again!”

“Blake was incredible. She is friendly and made fast friends with my fur babies. They absolutely loved her! Even the cat! She was so responsive and really put my mind at ease. We’re in the middle of a move and had to go out of town at the same time. I have complete trust I. Her and was so impressed with how she took everything in stride and asked all the right questions. I will definitely continue to use her. Outstanding service.”
“Gabriel was extremely patient with our two rescues giving each the attention the needier one thrives on, while giving space to our more nervous pooch until she warmed up to him. Both in just the right amounts to make our dogs feel more relaxed and secure. Thank you Gabriel!”
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: I’ve taken care of dogs since high school! Neighbors, friends, and family have counted on me to dog & house sit, feed, bathe, take their dogs on walks or to the park, etc. No breed is too big or too small. I have my own golden retriever pup, Charlie, who has been a beautiful addition to our family. I’m not stranger to energetic fun loving dogs! I am an elementary school teacher! With that, I work from 7am-2:30pm M-F. After school on days and anytime on the weekends I’m available to provide care to your doggies! I have a fully fenced large backyard! With my own pup we enjoy going on long hikes, playing catch, or daily walks around our neighborhood.
“Meri is a very caring pet and house sitter, managing multiple medical and feeding schedule for our senior lab. Leo, house and plants were all well cared for. We highly recommended her and look forward to having sit for us again.”

Mackenzie L.
“Mackenzie is an exceptional pet caregiver and dog walker. She has watched/walked my dog, Vito, multiple times, and every time I am amazed at how loving, attentive, and responsible she is. She goes above and beyond to make sure Vito is happy, well cared for and loved while I’m away. I have complete peace of mind knowing he’s in her hands, and it’s clear Vito absolutely adores her too! I couldn’t recommend Mackenzie more highly as a trustworthy, compassionate pet sitter!”
