Pet Sitting Graton

“Michelle is absolutely the best Rover ever! She welcomed the opportunity to take care of wonderful rescue doodle Bella and cat Spirit. She is so skilled and confident with both of the pets, building a relationship on their terms. Spirit fell in love with Michelle first and Bella took a little longer. Michelle handled every step of the way toward winning Bella's heart with her exceptional experience leading the way. Major moments of trust were built every visit with pets and liver treats and she totally won Bella over with love and successful walk on Bella's terms! All the while she balanced Spirit visits with every toy in the house, endless bubbles and pets. Michelle is amazing.”

About: I’ve had hand-on experience as well caring for my neighbors dog since she was a puppy. I helped look after her regularly by spending time with her and keeping her company as well as looking over her when needed. I’ve learnt the patience, attentiveness, and consistency that’s is required for a dog’s individual needs especially witnessing it from puppyhood when she could be carried easily up to when she’s heavy to hold up. Im currently working part-time with flexibility for your pets! Tuesdays and Sundays are totally free, and afternoons are generally always welcome to set appointments together. I prioritize heavily on making pets feel comfortable and safe in their environment. I’ve careful to follow each pet parent’s instructions, keeping doors and gates to close attention, and making sure all parts of their routine, for, water, walks, playtime are all handled as recommended.

About: I have loved animals like family as long as I can remember. And feel I have a special connection with them and them with me because of my calm and centered energy. Animals communicate and respond through peoples energy and I feel its how they know to feel safe. I care for dogs, cats, bunnies, birds, lizards etc. And am happy to answer any questions on all. I work for myself so I have a flexible schedule and can usually accommodate most schedule needs of pet parents. I typically make morning and evening rounds and unless I am out of town I am available 7 days a week. I take pride in my attention to detail and upon first introduction I try and get as much information as possible about a clients home and needs pertaining to their pets and what they are used to so that I can do my best to maintain that schedule and activity.

About: I am very intuitive, calm, and have a natural ability to connect with every dog that I meet. I take the time to learn each pup’s unique personality, routines, and quirks — whether that’s a favorite walking route, a special way they like to be greeted, or the toy that always gets their tail wagging. I treat every dog as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and happy while their owners are away. My passion is to provide attentive, tailored care whether it's for walks or in-home care. I am a great communicator and will always provide updates as requested to put your mind at ease. Serving Sonoma and Marin County! I will update my availability regularly on the Rover calendar to ensure accuracy. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry friend and how I can be of service. I am reliable, trustworthy, and responsible so you can trust me to keep your place clean and safe, just like you left it or better as I love a clean home. I take great pride in being engaged and present with them whether we are on walks, hikes or just chilling out. I am attentive, compassionate, and loving so your four-legged friend will not just get a sitter, but a dog lover who will give them love and affection in my care. To ease the mind of pet parents, I am more than happy to send updates, pictures, or videos during my care. I want you to feel reassured that he/she is in good hands.

About: Hello, I’m Tiffany and am a Sonoma county lover working in the wine industry! I have a few years of dog walking/sitting experience, but I have been focused on my wine industry career for the last few years. However, I have years of experience working for Wag! for dogs of different breeds and sizes. I’ve also had the pleasure of taking care of my friends dogs and other pets when they are away. They all have ranges of personalities and I’ve truly enjoyed getting to work with them all. As I love the energy that a younger dog might exude, I also love the calmness an older dog might have. I used to have a Sheltie who was the sweetest and silliest boy. He passed away in 2019 at 14 years of age, but I’ve been with him since he was a puppy and he’s the reason for my huge love for dogs. I am a very outdoorsy person and I love sports, staying active and healthy. I am flexible on accommodating anything you might require for your pet, whether it’s just a persons presence or longer walks or runs with your dog! I can’t wait to meet your furry pets and give your animals the love and affection that they crave :) I just finished my spring semester of college so I will have more time this summer to take care of your pups. I especially have time over the weekends! I have a fenced yard which will be perfect to have your dog run around and I can take your dog out as often as needed. If they have a specific routine I will be sure to stick to it!

About: Hi! My name is Chris and I love all animals. I have been caring for cats and dogs since I was a young boy and since then have taken in a plethora of other creatures ranging from snakes, geckos, and frogs to hamsters and foster rats! I am studying to be a pilot but my schooling is online! Meaning your fur babies can have as much of my attention as they fancy. I would love to be able to hang out with and meet some more great furry friends. My schedule is open to your fur babies schedules! I can be there for your furry friends for as little or as long as needed and I’ll make sure they have all the love, attention, and playtime that they need. I’m comfortable with dogs and cats of all shapes, sizes, and breeds! I have cared for a variety of different pals from dachshunds, to dobermans and pitbulls, to labradors, to mini poodles, and dealt with all kinds of temperaments. I can do check ins, walks, or days/overnights and your home will be treated with my utmost respect. Apart from your fur babies cheerful mood, you’ll return questioning if I was ever even there 😁

“Alyson is amazing! Thank you!”

“An excellent experience for us and our two large doggos. One of our dogs us recovering from a major surgery and she had no problem handling allot of special instructions. Andrea kept us posted with photos through out the day, where we could see the dogs were happy and cared for :)”

About: I’m the lady who crosses the street to ask if I can pet your dog. I love all dogs, but big dogs have my heart. I confess, I’m also the lady that will remember your dog’s name, age and origins, but perhaps not always your name. Although I have the confidence and experience to befriend your big dogs, that shouldn’t suggest that I don’t love our smaller friends, as well. Big and small, I love them all❣️ I’ve been responsible for animals most of my life. Chiefly, I’ve had the privilege to care and own big dogs. Growing up, we had a Sheppard-Mastiff mix, and that’s when my love for big dogs began. In our house, we had a macaw, cockatoo, kākāriki, ring-necked parakeet, and a cockatiel, tropical/ saltwater fish, dogs, and cats. I continue to be a proud breed ambassador and have owned 4 Rottweilers over the years. I’ve been gainfully employed as a civil servant for 25 years. After my last Rottweiler passed away, I wanted to care for a dog again, but haven’t adopted quite yet. I enjoy hiking, outdoor activities, walking and traveling, and of course dogs! I’ve had the privilege to care for our misunderstood and sometimes reactive dog friends, as well. All dogs deserve love. I helped welp Belgian Malinois puppies and ensure they found loving, deserving homes. I joke that, “If the choice was between world peace or puppies, I would choose puppies.” I can’t wait to meet your doggie! Since I’m a civil servant, my schedule is consistent. I have free nights and 3-day weekends. I enjoy a lot of free time that I would like to fulfill with dogs. I have a secured, fenced yard. I can also kennel your pets as well. My responsibility to you is ensuring your family member is secure in my charge.

About: Finding someone to care for your pet can feel like a lot. You want to know they'll be safe, happy, and treated like family while you're away, and you don't want to spend your whole day wondering how they're doing. ⠀ That's where I come in! ⠀ I raised and trained my own dog from a tiny puppy all the way to crossing the rainbow bridge, and it was the best experience of my life. I also went through Sirius Puppy Training, so I know how to work with dogs using positive, reward-based methods that help them feel confident and comfortable with me. ⠀ Got a dog with energy to burn? I know all the best local spots, like Riverfront, Laguna, Taylor Mountain, and Spring Lake, and I love taking pups out to explore. I bring along games to keep their brains busy too. You'll come home to one happy, tired dog. ⠀ Got a senior who likes to take it slow? We'll stroll the neighborhood at whatever pace feels good to them. ⠀ Does your pet need meds or a little extra TLC? I've handled complicated medication routines for dogs in treatment, so you can trust me to follow your instructions to the letter. ⠀ Have a cat? I'm a cat person too! I'm happy to stop by for feedings, litter changes, and some good company. ⠀ You'll get photos and a quick update every visit, so you'll always know how your pet is doing. And since my schedule's flexible, last-minute requests, early mornings, and evenings are no problem. ⠀ I'd love to meet you and your furry family member! 🐈🐕 I work from home as a freelancer and can accommodate most requests on weekdays, sometimes I can also pick up work on weekends. I walk everyday, rain or shine and love to bring happy dogs on the trail! In My Home: I treat every pet in my care as if they were my own. I maintain a calm, safe environment and follow your established routines as closely as possible—from feeding schedules to playtime preferences. For dogs, I provide plenty of exercise through walks or hikes suited to their energy level, and I'm always attentive to their comfort and body language. I keep pets secure with leashed walks, and I'm vigilant about potential hazards both indoors and on trails. For pets on medication or special diets, I follow instructions carefully and keep detailed notes. I also provide regular updates with photos so you can enjoy peace of mind while you're away. Since I work from home, the pet is with me 24/7, with only short breaks if I need to go do an errand - in which case we use a crate. In Your Home: I respect your home as I would my own. I follow all your instructions for feeding, medication, routines, and house rules. I keep things tidy, secure doors and windows, and ensure your pet stays safe and comfortable in their familiar environment. I'm happy to bring in mail, water plants, or adjust lighting to give your home a lived-in feel while you're away. Communication is key, so I provide regular updates and am always available if questions come up. My goal is to make the transition seamless for both you and your pet.

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was a young girl. One thing that will never get old is the bond you can create. I have worked with senior dogs, second chance animals in shelters, and even new born puppies. I have time and time again helped my friends and family train and look over their dogs. I work as a starbucks barista! My shift are usually short so I have more time for your pets! They are also very good about my availability! My pets at home are my babies. I always give them treats and make sure no matter what time I get home they have enrichment time.

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life. My first was Jackson, a 150-pound Alaskan Malamute who knocked me over daily, so big, strong, high-energy dogs don’t intimidate me. Today I have three of my own, all friendly, loving, and good with other dogs, including Baxter, a 9-year-old who takes daily medication. Senior dog care and keeping to a medication schedule are part of my routine. I’m also a former Navy Hospital Corpsman and certified EMT. I’ve worked alongside military working dogs in Afghanistan, and I’ve administered IVs and handled emergencies under pressure. If your dog gets hurt or sick, I stay calm, act fast, and get them to a vet right away. Outside Rover, I regularly care for a lab puppy and a senior Shih Tzu on seizure medication, so I’m comfortable with puppy energy and with seniors who need extra attention and exact medication timing. You’ll get photo updates, clear communication, and an honest report on how your dog did. I treat every dog like family. I’m home all day, so your dog is never alone for long. Days include a morning walk, midday play and potty breaks, an afternoon walk, and plenty of downtime with me on the couch. Being here all day means I catch small changes fast, like a skipped meal or restlessness. I give my own senior dog his medication on schedule daily, so exact timing is routine. It’s a great fit for active dogs, puppies, and seniors who do best with company. I do a calm meet-and-greet first, so every dog is comfortable before a stay. At my place (boarding and day care): Your dog gets the run of a cozy, happy house with my three friendly pups, and we start with a meet-and-greet so everyone feels at home. I keep their routine as close to normal as possible: same food, same schedule, same medications. The backyard has a good-sized grass patch and a tall wooden fence, perfect for running, sniffing, and soaking up the sun. I love setting up sniff drills and treat puzzles for a happy, tired pup, and two parks within three blocks make walks easy and fun. At your place (drop-ins and walks): I follow your dog’s routine for meals, water, potty breaks, a walk, and plenty of play. Either way: You’ll get photos and a quick rundown of how your dog’s day went. I’m situationally aware and if anything seems off, I’ll let you know right away and get your dog to a vet if needed. Your dog’s happiness and safety come first.

About: I provide reliable and loving care for your pets, whether through house sitting, drop-in visits, or dog walks. Your furry friends will be well-fed, cared for, and given plenty of attention, all tailored to your standards and beyond. I’m a dog person at heart, but I also love caring for cats. Many friends and clients trust me to care for their pets while they’re away, and I also offer house-sitting services, including plant care, mail collection, and general home upkeep. If boarding is needed, my cozy home in Forestville features a fenced yard, ideal for small to medium-sized dogs. I live close to a park that’s perfect for daily walks and outdoor play. Send me a message—I’d love to meet you and your beloved pets and ensure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away! Updated 1-22-2025 I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide attentive and reliable care for your pets. Most of my freelance work is done from home, so I’ll often be around to keep your pets company. When I’m out running errands or completing local handyman tasks, I ensure your pets’ needs are fully taken care of before I leave and as soon as I return. My availability includes mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends, giving me plenty of time to tailor my care to your pets’ routines. Let me know what works best for you and your furry friends! I prioritize safety and trust by closely following each pet parent's care instructions and maintaining a calm, secure environment. In clients' homes, I treat the space respectfully and ensure doors, windows, and surroundings are safe for your cat, dog, or other pets. My goal is to provide a stress-free experience, giving both pets and owners peace of mind. I make sure to follow instructions and feed them on time according to your schedule. I also often take dogs on walks and potty brakes and play fetch with them if they like that as well.

“Angelina was prompt with her responses, understood our situation, and communicated clearly about our pet's requirements. Looking forward to many more sits with her!”

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was fifteen, but I have had different animals all throughout my life. From birds, to cats, and dogs of all sizes I have had a lot of personal experience. Some of my duties included feeding, walking, bathing, grooming (for personal pets), and attention to medical needs. I have a big heart for pets and wish to give them care and support as they do us! I don’t currently have any pets, but I do tend to dog sit for my aunt. I currently work as a caregiver and for an after school program for youth. On my days off, I would love to help with pets. As stated above I don’t currently have a pet of my own, but for my aunt’s dog I take him on walks, feed him, keep him hydrated (especially with summer bringing in heat), there’s always play time and he gets a bath before he goes back home. I am very open to all needs of both the pet and the owner.

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 .

About: I have taken care of two owners pets, house sitting for over two years. They were out of town for a week or more and I would stay at there house, take care of their dog(s) by feeding, taking walks and playing with them. It has been a few years since I have done this. I have also owned two dogs, who have since passed. I have grown up with all kinds of pets, including dogs, chickens, rabbits and cats. Please not, I do work full time at Kaiser in Santa Rosa, Monday-Friday, 8am-4:30pm. I also do volunteer work every other Saturday from 10am-2pm. I would be able to take my lunch anytime and make sure to check on animals (if in Santa Rosa area). I am more than happy to send updates and pictures on any pets that I care for. I can’t take care of pets in my home unfortunately , as I live with my father and he is very allergic to animals. But I will make sure that your pets are cared for and get the attention they need. I’ve always had dogs and cats. I have cared for my coworkers dogs and would house sit at the same time, when they went out of town.
