Pet Sitting Highcroft

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.

“Melissa is an highly experienced pet sitter and she was a master handling our rescue pup Bella. Winning the trust of Bella was a huge milestone! She is more than a sitter, she is a trusted Forestville neighbor!”

About: Hi, I’m Casey—a trustworthy, full-service house and pet sitter with experience caring for just about every kind of animal you can think of. From playful pups of all breeds and sizes to cats, chickens, bunnies, and more—I’ve got you covered. I’m comfortable administering medication when needed, keeping routines consistent, and making sure your pet feels safe, loved, and thoroughly spoiled (in the best way). What sets me apart? I bring a fun, caring energy into every home I step into. I’ll play when they want to play, snuggle when they want to snuggle, and give them space when they need it. I adapt to each animal’s unique personality, and I genuinely enjoy bonding with them. I also offer full-service house sitting: plant watering, mail collection, trash/recycling, light gardening—you name it. I treat your home with the same care and respect I give your pets. Whether you’re gone for a weekend or a few weeks, I’ll make sure everything is just how you left it—and your pets are happy, healthy, and loved. Let’s chat! I work full time: Monday-Friday. I’m at work from 8:30-5pm. Your pet will need to be able to be left at home for extended periods until i’m off work. Once I’m off, I can spend time with your pet all night and morning for walks and attention! Whether I’m feeding, walking or playing, I follow your instructions closely to make sure your pet feels comfortable and secure. I spend quality time with them so they’re not just cared for—they feel loved and relaxed in your absence.

“Ashleigh was wonderful with our senior chihuahua! She dropped in on her while we were out for the day and took wonderful patient care of her during the visit. 10/10 would recommend.”

About: I have been taking care of animals since I was about 11, so 7 years or so. I am very comfortable with both big and little animals, ranging from hamsters to horses. I have experience with senior animals, big dogs, horses, chickens, pigs, cats, and more. I am currently attending the SRJC, but only have online classes as of now so my schedule is very open to fit your needs. I like any excuse to get some exercise so I'd be more than happy to fit in a few walks a day with your pets, as well as house sitting, boarding, and drop ins. I am very flexible on pay, please just let me know what you need from me and what you're able to pay, I will take pretty much any job. I have a large open yard that is fenced in the front, but has a small (very shallow; no risk of drowning) creek running along the back, providing a natural sort of fence with nothing but a field behind it. I have one dog that is very friendly and easygoing, as well as some cats around the property that sometimes come inside but don't care much for dogs.

About: I love to care for animals and over the years I’ve enjoyed looking after dogs, cats, chickens- even pigs! Getting to know each pet’s unique personality is one of my favorite parts of the job. I believe every animal deserves care that is detailed to their needs & I’ll work with you to create a routine that feels familiar, fun and safe. Whether you’re away for the day, at work or on vacation, you’ll have peace of mind knowing your pets getting lots of love attention and care - just like at home. I’m at home during all dog sitting. I live in a safe, walkable area near a grassy park. I can travel to you for care, exercise and walking. Fenced yard, sun and shade, doggy pool, time for walks, play, napping. My pooch has seizures, so I have dealt with this quite a bit. Can administer medicines as well.

“Holly is great with my senior dog. Understanding, patient and responsible. She is punctual, good at sharing pics and details of visits, as well as responsive.”

About: I've grown up taking care of both cats and dogs. I love animals and look forward to helping you care your your precious pets. In the past I have worked as a pet and house sitter for a couple families. I always enjoy any time spent with animals. I have flexible schedule making me available to care for your fur babies! I live in Guerneville, but frequently go to Sebastopol throughout the week. So mainly looking to work for ones in these areas. But open to adventuring in to further surrounding areas if its a good fit for us both! Currently I am not able to board pets in my home because I am renting. But I would be happy to stop by and spend time with your pets whenever is needed!

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.

“Wonderful experience from meet and greet to the day of a drop in visit. Our dogs were well taken care of and Emilia gave plenty of updates. We will definitely use again.”

About: Hi I’m Kaitlin! I graduated from SSU as a biology major and I have my exotic animal and wildlife rehab certificates. I currently work at Township Animal Hospital as a Vet Assistant and have experience with animal handling and giving medications. I have been surrounded by cats and dogs my whole life and currently have a German shepherd and 3 cats that are my babies. I would love to take care of your animals any way that I can and give them all the love that they need. I can pet sit, walk your dog, or just visit your pets for a little play date whenever you need me. Let me know if you are interested in having me take care of your wonderful pets and I’ll get back to you right away! I’m working full time at the moment, however I always make time to visit your pets and take them on walks. It is a stress reliever for me so I can easily fit them into my schedule. I have 3 cats and a German shepherd in my house. I always make sure they have food and plenty of water, especially in the summer time with hot weather. I will treat your pets exactly how I would treat my own, with love and kindness and plenty of attention.

About: I have around five years of practical experience in providing dependable care for pets belonging to friends and family members. My pet experience includes walking, bathing, arranging meal times and treat routines, as well as enjoying quality time with them while their owners are away, sometimes for weeks at a time. Therefore, I feel quite confident in my ability to care for any dog for extended periods. Plus, I genuinely love going for daily walks every morning, and dogs always manage to bring a smile to my face. Since I'm on break, I'll be free Monday through Saturday, 5 days a week. What hours work best for you will work best for me! I will always review the guidelines given by my client for house-sitting or dog-walking services, and I will make sure to follow any additional instructions to a T. When I first meet a cat or dog, I take the time to understand the animal's temperament, checking for any signs of anxiety or specific likes and dislikes. I care a lot in ensuring that the pets feel secure when around someone new. After that, I simply enjoy spending time with them, hoping that they will grow to appreciate my company too!

“Really stoked to have gotten to meet Kyle. I am already booking him again. Down to earth, helpful, responsible and trustworthy. I can't ask for much more!”

“Oliver is a gem! I couldn’t have been luckier to find such a perfect sitter and human. He is kind, genuine, attentive, my dog and cat LOVE him. Lots of detailed updates with pictures during the day, very communicative, professional, and timely. I am at ease knowing my fur family is in Oliver’s care! Highly recommend!”

About: Hi! I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life and have always loved caring for them. I grew up with Australian Shepherds and Corgis, so I’m very comfortable with different personalities, energy levels, and sizes. I’ve also dog-sat for a variety of dogs, including Pit Bulls, large breeds, small dogs, and very energetic pups. I understand that every dog has their own routine and personality, and I’m happy to adapt to what makes them feel most comfortable. Whether your dog needs lots of exercise and playtime, a calm companion, or simply some extra attention while you’re away, I’m happy to provide it. I really enjoy building a bond with each animal and making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while they’re with me! I am currently on break from my college courses, yet still am working a part time restaurant job. This makes me free in the mornings and late at night, with a couple of full off days in the mix. I am a responsible caretaker, having experience with highly reliant animals as well as experience in babysitting. I am highly communicative and always open to answering any questions or requests you may have!

“Our pets loved Brittany! She was comfortable with taking our big Irish wolfhound on a walk, and our kittens warmed up to her immediately. Great communication, & I felt very comfortable during my weekend away knowing that Brittany was taking care of our dog and kittens. Thank you!!”

About: I’ve always loved animals and have experience caring for dogs of different personalities, sizes, and needs. I’m patient, attentive, and treat every pet like they’re my own. I love going on walks, playing, giving cuddles, and making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I currently work as an on-call pharmacy technician, so I have a very flexible schedule. I’m also enrolled in school with online classes, which allows me to be home and available throughout the day. I’d love to spend that extra time caring for and keeping your pets company! I have the flexibility to give your pet the attention, care, and companionship they deserve. I have one dog at home and we have a doggy door that gives him access to our back yard that is fenced and gated.

About: I have experience caring for multiple dogs at a time, including caring for three dogs in one household and two dogs in another. I was responsible for their daily care and making sure they were safe, fed, exercised, and comfortable. Managing several dogs at once taught me how to stay patient, attentive, and organized, even when they were energetic or had different personalities and needs. I genuinely enjoy being around dogs and would treat every pet in my care like they were my own. I only have a college class twice a week for only one hour of my day and I have a part-time job that is only certain days of the week. Rover will be the perfect fill-in for all that extra time that I have, and I will always put my customers first. I live in a very mellow neighborhood where there are also many dogs around me where people are walking their dogs and having them on leashes, I live in an apartment that is very dog friendly and I will spend all of my time taking the dog or taking it out on the grass, we do have a dog area at my apartment.

“We had a wonderful experience with Alexia. From the start, she was attentive and open when we explained our cats’ routines, and throughout our time away she was consistently communicative and generous with updates. It was reassuring to receive photos and messages, and to know our two kitties were in such good hands. She was polite, dependable, and followed our requests carefully. Most importantly, when we returned home, our cats weren’t frantic or love-starved, they were happy to see us, calm, and clearly well looked after. We’re so grateful for the care she provided and would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”
