“Brandi, Jason, and their amazing children provided incredible care for our Golden Retriever for a 10 day stay. It’s always nerve wracking when your pup goes to a new place for lodging, but their professionalism and their communication provided so much peace of mind. It’s clear that our dog had a great time with them, and the daily updates were so appreciated. When we picked her up it was clear she’d bonded with the entire family - she can’t wait to come back!”


About: I can devote a lot of time to dogs during the day as I work mostly from home. Daily walks are a definite part of their stay with me. I have owned and pet-sat labs and medium sized mutts, but also pet-sit small dogs and enjoy them all for their distinct personalities. As I mostly work from home, I have time to take the dog out for a walk and look after it throughout the day. When I go places, I take the pet with me if the weather and the destination allows it. I will never leave the dog in my car for any length of time and definitely never in the summer. My home is pet-safe and I have a fenced yard. The dog will never be left alone for extended periods of time. I have a fenced yard. The dog will have its bed set up in the living room and the bowls on the floor in the kitchen. I follow the owner's directions on feeding, meds, etc. precisely. If I visit the dog at the client's home, I will plan to spend time with it, feed it and take it for a walk.

“Morrison and his family were awesome! I got so many pictures and videos throughout my dogs stay and it looked like he was having a blast. Highly recommend Morrison if you’re looking for your pup to have a great time!”


“Hannah & Noah were great! Had a last minute trip and our usual sitter wasn’t available so we chose Hannah & Noah to watch our golden retriever. She sent pictures and texts through the trip!”


“Christina was a godsend! Our dog care fell through at the last minute and we ended up bringing our yellow lab, Ozzy, on our trip to Guerneville with us. Christina was very easy to communicate with and flexible- despite our last minute booking and horrible rain and some flooding that day! She sent us some pics of Ozzy that made me feel at ease.”


“Bernadette was very flexible when I needed to change my drop off time. She has a lovely shady yard and beautifully calm home. My DAISEY really enjoyed her stay there. I highly recommend Bernadette. Her two little doggies were great playmates.”


“I am so grateful to have found Madalyn! She sends frequent updates and pictures of my my dog having a blast, she’s so attentive to his needs, and I always come back to a happy healthy puppy!”


About: Walks through Armstrong Redwoods are a favorite activity. I have a large yard and a dog friendly house. I have a couple of years experience working in a veterinary clinic giving me experience medicating animals, including giving injections. I have a pool for dogs who love to swim! I was a volunteer and puppy raiser for Canine Companions for Independence back in the mid to late 1980's, and a Puppy Petter for Assistance Dog Institute in the early 2000's. I've also kept busy with boarding in my home for friends and acquaintances. I love dogs!! I have Sundays and Mondays off from my full time job, but I can fit in a nice walk after 4 pm most other days. When I have someone's dog, they get my full attention; we play, exercise, snuggle. My focus is providing an enriching experience for your dog .

“Heather took great care of Mia, sent many pictures, was extremely responsive, and was easy to work with. Mia had a great time finding all of the best snuggle spots and hanging with Heather’s dogs as well. I’d highly recommend her for any pet sitting needs.”


“Copper had a great time with Veronica! She pampered him and took him for lots of walks. I definitely recommend letting your dog spend time with her?”


“Our dog had a medical problem during his stay. Lindsay let us know and helped us arrange treatment. We are 1000% pleased with our dog’s treatment. When we picked him up he was relaxed and happy.”

“Steven boarded my dog for three days and did a great job. His home is clean, uncluttered and dog-proofed and I felt safe leaving him there. Steven asked a lot of questions and clearly wanted to ensure he understood my dog’s newds and preferences. He texted me pics with updates. He also took care of my dog’s meds without issue. I very much appreciated his care and attention to detail!”


“Sarah was an awesome pup sitter for my two girls - 13 years old and 8mos. She is a great communicator and sent lots of pics so I knew my puppies were well taken care of while we were away. They seemed to have had a blast and I got to relax knowing that they were in good hands.”
