Cat Sitting in Lagunitas-Forest Knolls

“Responsive and thorough during the entire time she did drop ins with our cats. They seemed chill when we got home, which is the sign they had good care 😊 appreciate the extra touch of bringing the mail out of the rain. Would definitely recommend.”

“I couldn’t be happier with the care our two cats received! From the very first visit, it was clear that Abby has a genuine love for animals. Abby kept us updated with photos and notes, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. We highly recommend Abby to anyone looking for reliable, caring, and professional pet sitting. We have worked with Abby a few times this year and will absolutely be booking again! 🐾💛”

“Thank you, Janaki for taking the best care of our girls. Really appreciate the updates and photos. Our shy girls were super quick to warm up to you.”

About: To ensure your pet receives individualized attention, we host only one dog at a time. We’re a good fit for dogs who are over 1 year old, 15 lbs or more, spayed/neutered, fully potty trained, and happy sleeping solo (no human beds or bedrooms). These basics help keep the vacation smooth for everyone. Pick up/drop off: 6:00am - 7:00pm. We live with a wonderful Lab named Lincoln (no current job). We are able to do walks (and runs!) through the Watershed, Deer Park, Headlands and love to take photos. For longer stays, we do field trips (including a secret dog pool in Petaluma 🤫). We try to switch each day up to provide variety. Backyard with plenty of room and recently installed dog run. Fenced from road. Also a hammock should our guest prefer a more leisurely day. ;)

“Ariane did a great drop in with my two dogs for the first time and left them happy and relaxed while I was away. She was a prompt communicator too which I appreciated!”

About: Loving, Reliable Pet Care with a Flexible Schedule 🐶🐾 I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities — from small seniors to large energetic breeds. I’ve raised a puppy of my own and have been professionally paid to house-sit and care for multiple dogs (up to five at once). I understand how to match a dog’s energy, follow routines, and create a calm, dependable environment. I'm confident with big dogs (up to 100 lbs) and always tailor my care to each pet’s personality and needs. I’m currently in a flexible, open-schedule period and available most weekdays and weekends. I can often accommodate last-minute requests and daytime visits. If your pet thrives on routine, I’m happy to set up regular visits or walks. My availability may change slightly week-to-week, but I’ll always communicate clearly and keep my calendar updated. I take pet care seriously — you’re trusting me with a member of your family, and I don’t take that lightly. I always follow your instructions closely, check gates and leashes, and make sure pets are secure, safe, and comfortable at all times. I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos during visits, so you’re never left wondering how things are going. I’m calm under pressure, and I work to create a low-stress experience for both you and your pet.

“Nikki was great with our two dogs! She is super sweet, communicative, sent tons of photos, and my girls seemed to love her! She is also very thorough with care instructions and keeping up daily routines. Would absolutely book with her again.”

Emily B.

“Kat was everything you would want in a petsitter. She was responsible, communicative, capable, loved my elderly cat, and took great care of her. Mamacat was very content and peaceful when I arrived home, and the house was clean and well taken care of. Kat was used to giving oral medications, but had never done insulin injections before. She was happy to learn how, came ahead of time to be trained, and then performed Mamacat's whole daily routine smoothly without problems. She reached out when she had questions, sent updates, and overall was very responsive to my lengthy instructions. I felt Mamacat was in very capable and responsible hands, and I look forward to having Kat sit for my precious kitty again anytime. I highly recommend her!”

Maria P.

“Nate was wonderful! He is a great communicator, was diligent and attentive to all of my kitty's special needs, and he gave me frequent updates and pics, which I really appreciated. He was happy to learn the new skill of injecting insulin, and learned quickly. Best of all, my cat really liked him, took to him immediately, and was happy, calm and content when I got home, as if I had never left. It was a joy to have Nate petsit for me and I will rebook him at any time.”

Maria P.

“Elena was responsible, caring and kept us updated through her stay with our cat Jedi. In addition, when we came home, our house was immaculate condition, better than when we left it. I’d highly recommend Elena and we will be re booking her for future cat sitting jobs.”

I’m currently a student at College of Marin. I have a few classes each day but for the most part I have a pretty flexible schedule and am able to spend most of my time caring for your animals! I’m am flexible to your needs the needs of your pet.

About: With over 20 years of experience, I have a deep understanding of caring for a variety of pets, both my own and others’. Growing up with cats sparked my lifelong love for animals, and over the years, I’ve cared for dogs, chickens, goats, and cats. Our family dog, now 17 years old, holds a special place in our hearts. I know how crucial it is to have a reliable and trustworthy person looking after your pets when you’re unable to, and I bring that level of care and commitment to every pet I watch over. I currently work part-time and have a fairly flexible schedule, allowing me to accommodate a variety of pet care needs. However, since I have children at home, I kindly ask for at least one day’s notice to ensure childcare arrangements can be made unless your pet would enjoy a little visitor tagging along. My goal is to provide focused and attentive care for your pet, so planning ahead helps me give them the best experience possible. Our senior dog prefers a quiet home without furry visitors, so at this time, I am only offering pet care services at your home. I pride myself on being detail-oriented and will closely follow your instructions to ensure your pet is cared for exactly as you prefer. Whether it’s feeding schedules, medication, or special routines, I’ll make sure everything is done just right while providing your pet with plenty of love and attention to keep them happy and comfortable.

“We feel incredibly lucky to have found Trisha to care for our cat, Jake. Not only did she handle all the usual responsibilities—food, water, litter, and playtime—with care and consistency, but she went above and beyond in ways that truly blew us away. While we were gone, an ant invasion and a potential health issue popped up. Trisha handled both calmly and proactively, keeping us informed, taking smart action, and making sure Jake was comfortable and safe every step of the way. Her updates were thoughtful and thorough, and it was clear she was paying close attention to his behavior and needs—not just checking off tasks. And perhaps the best part? Jake absolutely adored her. Our normally picky, opinionated cat bonded with her immediately. The photos she sent showed him completely relaxed, snuggling, playing, and clearly loving his time with her. When we got home, he barely acknowledged us. We're trying not to take it personally. If you're looking for someone who’s not only reliable and professional but also genuinely loves animals and thinks like a pet parent, Trisha is it. We will absolutely be booking her again—and Jake wouldn’t forgive us if we didn’t.”

“Annette did an amazing job, taking care of my cats. The cat litter was very clean when I got home. She was very good at communicating with me, asking me clarifying questions and ensuring she was doing exactly what I needed to be done. I would definitely hire her again.”

About: Had pets my whole life, always loved to take care of them and spend my time to make sure they are happy and enjoying my company. Animals are pure joy and they deserve nothing but love and understanding of their feelings. On my household we always had at least two dogs and over the years i also experience taking care of cats and even reptiles. I understand a puppy/kitten need a different care then a senior pet and if you respect and love them as they should be, you can always get the best out of them. I have a physical education degree and went, also, to university for electrical engineering for 2,5 years. Learned, mostly, in college how to teach people different activities/sports related and to respect and understand their different personalities. I have a Black Belt in martial arts(jiu jitsu) which also tough me how to be humble and peacefull towards others. I will listen to all of yours instructions to make sure i can do my best taking care of your pet. I’m currently working part time and that gives me a flexible schedule to not only care for pets but also have quality/fun time with them and build relationships. Me and my fiancé live in a spacious apartment surrounded by nature and great places to hike and have walks with dogs. We like to fill our schedule with 4 pawed friends for extra fun! We are accustomed to giving baths, leashed and unleashed walks/hikes, and doing some training with dogs that are with us for an extended time.

About: I've had dogs in my life since I was a middle schooler. Between my family dogs and dogs who have lived in my home since then I have been responsible for at least 7 dogs, of all shapes, sizes and demeanors. I've kept moody Dachshunds, energetic Shelties, even tempered Retrievers and even rescue Pitbulls. I love hiking and getting outdoors, and bringing a canine friend along. I currently have one dog of my own, a peppy rescue mix, and he is my best friend I am available to dog/house sit very regularly. I am an ecological land designer working most days from home with the exception of days where I need to do a site visit or connect with my team in person. I can pretty much work from anywhere with a good internet connection, so most days would be able to be around in case your dog needs more frequent walks or attention. In addition to dogs I love other pets and plants! If you have house plants, a veggie garden or other plants that need some watering or attention while you're away I'll be able to help in the department as well! I work from home most days, so I am able to be flexible around a pets needs regarding feeding, walks, and medication. Ocassionally I do have to leave home for work, and that is typically up to 4 hours. We have one dog at home and since we don't have a yard, we typically take him up on the ridge to walk, or to the Red hill Dog park or San Quentin beach. These are great places to have some fun exercise

“This is the second time we had Noelle check in on our little guy and she was great! We would absolutely have her sit again.”

Britta N.

“What a very nice young man.. I felt completely comfortable giving him the key to my home. Each day he sent me a picture to let me know he was there. I was able to enjoy myself on my trip knowing he was there. Again Thank you Ryan!”

“We are absolutely thrilled with the care Ariana provided for our 17-year-old cat, Matteucci, over the two weeks we were away. Ariana was fantastic, demonstrating true reliability by meticulously following every one of our senior cat protocols and medical instructions. The most amazing thing, however, was her patience and gentle approach in getting our notoriously unsociable girl to come out of her shell and actually socialize! This is a massive step for our cat, and it speaks volumes about the wonderful environment she created. We returned to a happy, healthy, and relaxed feline. We wholeheartedly recommend her for her exceptional skill, especially with challenging or senior pets!”
