House Sitting in Howell Mountain

“She was amazing. My dog took right to her and she gave him so much love and did so many fun things with him I am not even sure he missed me!!!”

“Hayley M has been terrific with Onyx! She sends us updates with pictures/videos and we can see he is comfortable with her. Her adoration of animals and care for details definitely shows in our dog’s happy attitude and calm demeanor whenever he’s around her. We also love that she’s very responsive and how easy it is to talk to her or makes some changes to the plans. She’s been a lifesaver for us & Onyx while we’re away!!”

“Jacqueline is incredible. She is very communicative. She came early and got settled with the dogs. The dogs loved her. She went above and beyond. Would absolutely use her again to doggy sit our dogs.”

“Natalia did a great job!! We received some reassuring photos from her while we were away which was extra nice. The house was in great order, too! We will definitely be calling on Natalia again!”

Donald A.

“Lacey is amazing!! She sent so many pictures while I was gone, which I really appreciated and my dogs were very happy to have her! Thank you Lacey. I will definitely book again ?”

About: I’ve had dogs since I was 5 years old. I have experience with both small and large breeds. It will be all love and play that your furbaby won’t even notice you’re gone! I work full time on weekdays (11am-6pm), with a 30 min commute, and am available early mornings and evenings. On weekends I am free almost all day. I have a dog at home and cannot care for more at my place due to limited space. I am happy to care for others at their home.

“Julia, was the best fur baby sitter yet! Our dog Lola absolutely ❤️❤️❤️’s her so much! She gives her the happy Dance, butt wiggle, groans of joy! Our cat, gives her kisses and Julia, gives us lots of updates with photos and all. We will definitely be booking with her again. You should too!”

About: I’ve been an animal owner and lover my entire life! I’ve cared for many breeds of dogs, cats, chickens, goats, horses, llamas, and more! I’ve also volunteered for a local rescue organization and fostered many animals. I’m comfortable giving medications and would love to take your dog on walks, runs or hikes! I’m self employed as a photographer so my schedule varies greatly but I have lots of flexibility! I’m a professional and will treat your pet’s care as my best client! Since I work for myself, I control my schedule so I can accommodate yours! Anyone that knows me knows that I care for my animals like my family! I will care for yours the same way! I’m communicative, organized and will treat your home with the utmost respect!

“Peter was very attentive to our Rhodesian Ridgeback, Hijo. It was very clear that he made Hijo his priority and Hijo was so comfortable with him that Peter got to see some of his antics usually reserved for folks he knows well. We felt very confident Peter had everything under control while we stepped away. Jen”

“Rosemary was incredibly accommodating, receptive, followed instructions well, and ensured our dogs were safe and happy. I would highly recommend her and would book again. Thank you for your great care!”

Hailey R.

“Dorothy is an awesome communicator and took amazing care of our puppy and home. She sent daily texts with updates and pics which reasssured us that our puppy was happy and well taken care of. We would be lucky to have Dorothy help us again in the future!”

Poppy D.

“What a wonderful person! My dog absolutely loves her! And so do we. We felt so much better knowing our dog was with someone who would treat him like family. She even watered our garden while we were gone! She is a gem. If I could give her more stars, I would have! Thank you Susan!”

“My husband and I loved Michaela taking care of our two corgis. She has dog magic that's for sure! We had just moved from out state, and our dogs were stressed of course from all the months of packing and travel. Our older dog is pretty much a couch potato not wanting much activilty at all. The reason I say Michaela has dog magic is because when the dogs met her, they immediately began their wonderful playful dog dance with each other around the house. She sent us videos each day of the dogs and it was delightful to see our older dog so inspired to go out and have some good fun he hasn't felt like in a long time. We love Michaela, our dogs love Michaela! This was our first time having a pet sitter, and she made it wonderful experience for us and the dogs.”

About: Aloha! My name is Luna and I have 4 dogs. I have experience with training dogs as well. My furry children are all trained by me and they can walk off leash. Animals are my passion. Walking: I love to run with dogs to get my exercise in, but walking is always great! I have walked dogs for 10 years now. Home Visit: I follow directions. Will take the dog/s out to pee and play for a little if needed and give them lots of love. Definitely play with your kitties and get you as many action shots as possible. As well as snuggles. I’m currently a stay at home mama! I have a pretty open schedule. Weekends are always the best for me, but I can do week days if needed. I follow house rules that are given. Due to the fact that I now have an infant I no longer am caring for dogs in the comfort of my home, but I’m more than happy to take your pup on walks or check in on them

“Christopher is a true dog lover and I feel fortunate to have found him to take care of my pack whenever I’m not around. I have a lot of attendant anxiety when trying to pair my dogs with a suitable sitter- for no other reason than that they need a lot of exercise and ask for a lot of attention. Christopher alleviated every ounce of attendant stress experienced by leaving my dogs in someone’s care. He took my dogs on outings, updated me with charming photos and was completely unflappable when it came to managing two high energy and young labs along with a corgi who needs to herd everyone to feel fulfilled. On top of all of this, Christopher took excellent care of my home- maybe even leaving it cleaner than I did for him. 5 stars for Christopher, absolutely!”

About: I started my dogsitting business out of my home over 6 years abo and now I petsit at people's homes. Animals are more comfortable at their own home I also have been trained as a dog walker at the Sonoma County Animal Shelter and worked at a dog kennel (now closed...Anderson Acres) I'm a personal trainer that teaches people on Zoom so I am at home most of the day. I am an active person that loves walking dogs and own 2 rescues. I only care for animals in the owner's home. I do not board animals in my home. I make sure that all doors/gates are secure so no animal escapes.

About: I’ve loved and cared for animals for as long as I can remember. Currently, each of my family members is in a transitional stage of life (kids are in college), myself included (contemplating the next chapter), so none of us has any companion animals for the time being. Fostering has filled the gap somewhat and I’ve found that pet & house sitting does, too! I was an at-home wife & mom & spent my adult years homeschooling, volunteering, caretaking through cancer, organizing, and caring for a large home/pool/property &, of course, for our companion animals. I'm not a "neat freak," but I will leave another's home as it was found, or cleaner. I'm compassionate & nurturing by nature, so please feel free to let me know your needs and wishes. My schedule is entirely flexible, with advance notice. For those farther away: I love to travel and appreciate requests to sit in far-off locations; however, I must ask that either 15-30 days notice is provided for making arrangements (& finding affordable flight deals, which I will happily do & pay for, if the location is one I’d have visited anyway) OR that travel be paid for in full by the pet parent as part of the job. (Nightly rates can be adjusted to account for costs such as gas, flights, and/or ground transportation.) Please be mindful that international travel can cost into the thousands of dollars, may require more than 30 days for planning, and is not typically in my own budget. My passport is ready, though! I’m pleased to be being considered for this important job! Please know that I'll be available via phone/text (& trust that you will, too, at least for emergencies), would love to share pics if you wish (or would be happy to limit communication, if that's your preference), am adept at managing minor issues of urgency independently (but will confer with you if at all possible, as soon as possible), and will take seriously any necessary special precautions for the animals or the home (escape artists, meds, anxiety/sleep needs, food limitations, no off-leash time or things like mail/trash, off-limits rooms, a toilet that's out of use, plant handling, etc.). I'm largely a homebody and my primary goals are to be someplace new/different & be with your babies, so I will be present daily, including overnight if that’s what we’ve arranged, and will not host parties or people (unless one or both of my grown kids are with me, which we'll have discussed in advance). I might spend significant time studying if I'm taking a class (most likely online) and I may need to handle some of the tasks of daily life (getting groceries, etc.) during longer stays, but my priority will be to keep the animals and home you've entrusted me with safe, properly cared for, and tidy in your absence. That said, if there are places your buddy(ies) wanna go (trails, beaches, dog parks, obedience classes, the groomer's, etc.), we'll get out of the house and get our energy out! (And if slow/short walks or lots of lap time are what's in order, we'll readily do that, too.)

About: I am a person who cares! And I care most when it comes to your pets. My pets are my life and I understand that they are family. As an uber driver, I have a very open schedule and the ability to make frequent stops to check in with babies throughout my day! I would come equipped with a first aid kit and all safety materials. I would assure I had participated in any and all safety trainings available.

“As always, amazing experience. Linda adores Alisha and Alisha adores Linda. We goto vacation worry free and come back knowing she is well taken care of. She is leaves the house clean and we feel safe leaving the house with her.”

About: I’ve been taking care of my families puppy and my own kitten for about 2 years now ! Ive taken care of other peoples dogs in the past as well! I’m efficient and competent. Im currently a college student, so I spend most of my time at home and just in general I’m a home body. So, I have enough time to care and tend to pets and their needs. I’m very attentive to my own cat and families dog. They both have feeding schedules and are potty trained. I’ve taken my time to make them good pets. I’ve showed the same amount of attention and affection to other peoples pets as well.
