“Kyle watched over my Labrador with a recent toe injury AND during a blistering 115 degree heat wave. While thousands of miles away I never worried with Kyle. He is incredibly dependable, easy going and flexible. You can’t go wrong with Kyle caring for your best friend.”

About: I grew up in a neighborhood my friends used to call “the farm”. We had 3 dogs, one neighbor had chickens, one neighbor had horses, and another neighbor had goats. Along with various dogs and cats at each house. Because I was the oldest kid in the neighborhood, I was the go-to person anytime a neighbor needed a house sitter or even just needed me to feed their pet dinner since they were out late. When I got older and started driving, I began dog sitting for our large group of friends, taking care of all sizes of dogs, cats, and the occasional reptile. Although I work part-time, I am generally available 7 days a week for house sitting. I am willing to accommodate crazy schedules and last minute plans if need be. I have a small home but a big yard, so while I can’t accommodate boarding, I have a large outdoor space and my own pup that is eager for play dates during the day. As for house sitting, I provide attentive, personalized care in my client’s home so your pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I follow each pet’s routine closely. With my history in the animal health field, I am comfortable administering any medications if needed. As a person who values communication, I provide regular ‘pupdates’ and pictures so owners feel confident their pets are happy, safe, and well cared for.

“Michelle was awesome. Communicated clearly with us so we knew when she was arriving. Our dogs loved her. Now they are tuckered out and napping after their great adventure with Michelle. Thanks for taking care of them. Would have given 10 stars if it was available!!”

“We’re so sad to see Ashley go—she’s been an incredible dog walker and a big part of Mila’s life in just a short time. Our German Shepherd absolutely adored her, and it’s easy to see why. Ashley was attentive, dependable, and completely drama-free. She always showed up, took such great care of Mila, and made everything feel effortless. We’re going to miss her so much, and we wish her nothing but the best in her next chapter!”

“Emma is fantastic! Oakley loves her and she really goes the extra mile to be helpful ?! I had to be gone into the night once and Emma stayed with Oakley for a couple of hours just snuggling!”

“Snooki always so happy after her walks with Francesco. Thank you, we appreciate you Francesco”

About: Animals have been a part of our family since before I could remember. As a little girl, my mother worked in the veterinary industry and humane society, so we always had fuzzy friends in and out of our home - and sometimes they became permanent residents of our home. Pets and humans have a unique relationship and I believe it's important to nurture the bond we share with them. I would love to provide a loving experience to your pet and give them the company they need while you are away. I have experience with medication administration and special dietary needs, an for those active dogs who enjoy the company of others, I am happy to take them to the beach or the local dog park. I am a student at the SRJC, and currently have an open schedule. My family has two cats and one dog, which I am very involved in caring for. Making sure their needs are met has always been a normal part of our daily lives. Caring for pets in your home also means making sure that their safety is a priority. I am always careful to make sure that your home is secure in the way that you like. I am cautious of possible environmental hazards for pets young and old, and those who are out and about are always secured on/in a leash, harness, or carrier. I am also able take your pet to the vet if the need ever arises.

About: I'm excited to be back to doing what I love best after some time away raising a kiddo and creating a home dreamy for humans and furry friends alike. Treat your canine friend to a retreat in the country and feel comfortable leaving them in the hands of a professional and certified trainer. With over forty years of experience with animals and as a reputable Trainer for an Assistance Dog organization, i have a strong background with animals and can provide a safe and fun environment. My home is a canine paradise! It's quiet and serene with plenty of shade, a fully fenced yard, and a private dirt road that meanders through the countryside right out our back door, - perfect for walks for the dogs. There ia a resident Labrador retrievers named "Heart" and a Bernese Mountaing Dog named "Stormy" They are great ambassadors and love to host furry friends. I can also offer training, baths/grooming just ask if you think you would like this. We look forward to your dogs vacay with us. Why I love dog sitting I know when I leave for vacation, knowing my animals are in good hands allows for me to relax and enjoy my time away worry free. Animal owners are some of the best people I have known and I love meeting new friends, human and furry alike. I work part time from home, so it makes for the ideal environment to incorporate dog sitting into the day. I care for the dogs as if they were my own and I hope that you will allow us the honor to care for you animals(s). I am currently working from home. I leave the house on occasion but can either take your dog with me for a car ride if they like that, leave your dog home or if you would prefer, crate it for a short time. I am never gone long when dogs are n my care. I treat all dogs as if they are my own and follow the instructions of the owners on what to do to make them comfortable while in my home.

“Courtney has been doing a great job for us with daily drop in visits for our two Labs. She is responsible and is an obvious dog lover. We plan on continuing to use her.”

About: I have taken care of pets since I was small. Was raised on a farm so have always had a heart for all four legged friends. Pet care is a natural part of my everyday routine. I’m home often throughout the day, which allows me to give pets consistent attention, playtime, and potty breaks. I structure my day around the animals in my care—morning feedings and walks, daytime check-ins, enrichment activities, and evening wind-down time. Because I’m already used to caring for pets and managing a household, integrating your pet’s needs into my schedule is easy and enjoyable. Their comfort and routine always come first. When pets stay in my home, they get a safe, comfortable, and fun environment. I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can play, relax, and get plenty of fresh air. I also take pets on regular walks and, if the owner is comfortable with it, we enjoy outings to local dog parks for extra exercise and socialization. Inside my home, pets are treated like family—lots of affection, playtime, and a calm, clean space to rest. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, medication needs, and any special instructions. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I maintain their normal routine and make sure they feel secure in their familiar space. I provide regular walks, feeding, potty breaks, clean water, playtime, and lots of attention. I also keep owners updated with messages, photos, and notes so they always know how their pets are doing.

About: Hi, I am a mature responsible and dependable women born and raised in Cotati: With 40 years of experience raising and training dogs and horses, I’m completely capable. I work from home, and enjoy walking, being with my animals and helping how I can. I work from home with some flexibility. Prefer early morning, lunch time and evenings schedule. Weekends generally available as well. Will accommodate late notice as I am able. Prefer to let my home belong to my own animals. On exception, can offer in home services with fenced yard. Care and well being of animals has always been my priority and is a personal value.

About: Hi, I’m Josephia, and I would absolutely love to meet your pets! I hold a bachelor’s degree in Environmental Studies from the University of California, Santa Barbara. I’ve also been pet sitting for dogs and cats in my neighborhood since high school, giving me over 10 years of experience caring for animals in both casual and structured settings. Most recently, I spent the past year doing a work-stay on a farm, where I was responsible for the vegetable garden, 12 fruit trees, and the daily care of a variety of animals, including two sheep, nine chickens, three cats, and a dog. This experience taught me how to be highly attentive, consistent, and adaptable to different animal needs and personalities. My responsibilities included feeding, cleaning, monitoring health and behavior, and maintaining safe, comfortable environments for all animals. I’m very familiar with sticking to routines, which I know is especially important for pets while their owners are away. I live an active lifestyle and love being outdoors, so I’m great with pets that need long walks, runs, or playtime. I truly treat every pet like my own and prioritize clear communication with owners through updates, messages, and photos so you can feel confident and at ease while you're away. Pet care fits well into my daily and weekly routine. I am currently doing a farm stay in Sebastopol, where I follow a consistent schedule of daily animal care. While these responsibilities do not take up my entire day, they do require me to stay in the area, so I am only able to take on pet care within Sebastopol. I have a flexible schedule and am available any day of the week in the Sebastopol area. I’m able to accommodate morning, midday, and evening visits, as long as it is within the area. I follow your instructions closely and stick to your pet’s normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure. I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are always safe, and I pay attention to each pet’s behavior so I can respond to what they need, whether that’s space, attention, or exercise. I keep your home tidy and respect your space, and I’m happy to send updates and photos so you know how everything is going.

About: I've had 2 cats and 1 dog in the past, and now I have Taylor, a 2 year old Standard Poodle. Additionally I have cared for numerous cats and dogs in my lifetime. I am very patient and loving, and always put the pet's safety first. I enjoy interacting with pets, and making sure their needs are met. I love to walk and be outside, and walking with a dog is a lot of fun. I am extremely responsible, honest and friendly. Your pet will have a great time with me! Currently I work part time in Santa Rosa from Tuesday through Friday, with a somewhat flexible schedule to accommodate pet care. Living in Rohnert Park puts me in a central location to reach pet homes. When caring for your pet(s) in your home, making drop in visits or walks, I am extremely respectful of your house, your stuff, and your privacy. Responsible could be my middle name. I always strive for pet satisfaction and safety!
