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.

About: I have had pets most of my life since I was a small child. I have a deep bond with animals and love getting to know their individual personalities and having a great time playing together. I am currently working part time on my own schedule so I have a great deal flexibility to come play with your pets and provide them with my undivided attention! I provide care specifically based on each individual client’s requests and unique needs. Please let me know your preferences, needs and concerns. Thank you!

“Daniel kept us up to date with our pups while out of town. Making sure they were fed and walked. Our 3 dogs seemed very happy and calm on our arrival home which means that they had great walks and play time.”

“Blake was just a remarkable visitor for our 18 yr old big boy kitty. We wanted someone who would be careful and very loving with AJ and she was - accompanying him out to the yard & petting him, etc. She took notes during her pre visit session & followed them to a T! She is such a nice person and so thorough and loving with AJ that we would jump at having her come again!!”

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.

About: I started dog walking and petsitting in 2022. I'm great at reinforcing recall and working with all kinds of dogs, from independent off-leash to dogs that are prone to separation anxiety. I’m the perfect person to hang out with and cuddle your furry friend while you’re away. I am currently working from home and part time at that so I have plenty of energy to devote to making sure your furry friend is well taken care of. I'm fairly active and get at least 2 walks in a day and enjoy hiking as well. I usually take dogs on walks 2x daily unless otherwise instructed. I am home for most of the day and am typically not gone from the home for more than a couple hours at a time. Love having the pets sleep with me and venture out to hiking spots or day trips if that is something that suits them.

“Amanda definitely has a way with animals; she can even win the heart of our younger cat who tends to be more shy. She is an awesome communicator and provides timely updates and lots of photos, which make us feel comfortable when we are away.”

Miriam S.

“Holly did a great job watching Gray. He visits were always on the expected time and I loved getting different photos of Gray sometimes getting some special pets and love.”

Dorothy S.

“So happy to have found Laura! We needed someone to come to our home multiple times a day for a weekend to care for our two dogs. One of our dogs is pretty anxious so it was ideal that we had someone calm and caring and Laura is just that! She was very communicative, easy to interact with, and most importantly, my dogs loved her! Laura will definitely be our first pick for any dog care needs. ❤️”

“Gina is such a reliable and responsible person who provides excellent care to my cats! She is very communicative and always helps me feel at ease when I travel. I definitely recommend booking with her!”

About: I have taken care of my neighbors dogs by walking them around the neighborhood since I was little. I have dog sat my neighbors dog as well in their house and received positive reviews. I have owned two cats and they lived very long and happy lives. I have taken care of horses as well as a part of my riding lessons when I was younger. I love to take care of all animals especially dogs no matter what that entails! I am a Junior in college at University of Hawaii. I am a kinesiology major with the end goal to be a physical therapist. I have always loved animals especially dogs and the joy they bring me. I grew up in Sebastopol with my family. I have always considered myself as a strong, kind, caring and dependable person and i know my friends and family would agree. I have dog sat for my neighbors as well as walk their dogs for several years. Unfortunately I have never been able to own a dog myself but I would love to in the future. I have had multiple fish as well as two cats who were my best friends. I am missing taking care of pets and I would love to take care of yours and make your life a little bit less stressful. I hope that we will be able to meet each other and I hope I can meet your for legged family member! I live in a very safe neighborhood surrounded by very kind people.

I have a car that I can transport your four legged friend to different hikes if permission is granted. I live near popular hiking spots including Ragle Park Ranch.

“Shilletha did a wonderful job taking care of my puppy, Ruby! She kept me well-informed with timely updates and plenty of photos, even during one of the worst weather weeks of the winter. I’m so grateful she was available and would absolutely book with her again.”

About: I have several years of hands-on experience working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments. As a lead kennel technician, I’ve cared for dogs in both daycare and boarding settings, ensuring their safety, health, and well being. My experience includes supervising group play, recognizing canine body language, administering medications, feeding specialized diets, maintaining clean and sanitary environments, and responding calmly in high pressure situations. I’m passionate about providing compassionate care and creating a safe, positive experience for every dog while building trust with both pets and their owners. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine and something I genuinely enjoy. I prioritize making sure every pet receives the attention, exercise, enrichment, and care they need to stay happy and healthy. Whether it’s feeding, administering medications, maintaining a clean environment, or providing playtime and companionship, I understand the importance of consistency and reliability. Caring for animals isn’t just part of my work. it’s something I’m passionate about and committed to every day. Whether I’m caring for pets in my own home or in a client’s home, I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while maintaining their normal routine. In my home, pets have access to a large, secure backyard where they can run, play, explore, or simply relax in the sun. I also enjoy taking them on walks through my quiet neighborhood to provide exercise and mental stimulation. In a client’s home, I carefully follow all care instructions, including feeding schedules, medications, potty breaks, exercise, and any special routines, while making sure their home is respected and their pets receive plenty of attention, affection, and quality care.

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.

“Michelle took great care of my cat! She cleaned up after him and was very caring and easy to communicate with. Highly recommend!”

About: I grew up with many animals in our household from dogs, cats, turtles, birds, fish, and bunnies and always had a unique connection to them. I have an innate empathetic understanding with them. I have experience with training younger dogs, as well as taking care of elderly dogs. I have experience providing necessary medication if needed, as well as lots of love and snuggles and adventurous hikes or leisurely walks for elderly animals. Currently I have a cat and would love to have another dog but for now getting to take care of other people's dogs or cats would satisfy my desire to be around lots of animals. I am currently a full-time student and I work remotely online so my schedule is flexible and I can work from anywhere. I would prefer to watch dogs and cats in your home. I like to communicate with the owner of the pet and get a clear understanding if there is a particular feeding or walk schedule, as well as if medications are required, or crate preferences. I am happy to send a photo of your animal baby each day if you like daily check ups. I love communication so trust and understanding are developed between myself and the owner.

“Rissa is very kinda and sweet to my pups! She’s extremely helpful and sends me lots of pictures! :)”
