About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats for friends, family, and neighbors for several years. I’m comfortable feeding, walking, playing, cleaning litter boxes, giving lots of attention, and making pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m reliable, patient, and truly love animals of all personalities and sizes. I’m back home from college for the summer, so I have a flexible/ open schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I’m also looking to make some extra money doing something I genuinely enjoy, which is spending time and caring for animals! I’m comfortable caring for both cats and dogs, including feeding, walks, playtime, litter box cleaning, and making sure pets feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. I always prioritize making pets feel safe, calm, and comfortable in their own environment. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any special care requests. I’m very attentive to pets’ behavior and needs, and I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands.

About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Now that I am retired, I have the time to share my lifelong love of dogs with both you and your furry family members. My experience goes far beyond pet ownership. While serving in the military, I had the privilege of working with dogs, which remains one of the most rewarding jobs I've ever had. I was responsible for their daily care, training, exercise, and well-being, and my canine partner was by my side throughout the workday. After leaving the military, I continued working with dogs by teaching group obedience classes at PetSmart. I also worked at a board-and-train facility, where I trained dogs and then coached their owners on how to maintain and build upon that training at home. In addition, I provided private obedience lessons, helping dogs learn essential skills while teaching their humans how to communicate effectively and build strong, lasting relationships with their pets. My experience working with military dogs and training companion dogs has given me the confidence and skills to work with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, from energetic puppies to senior dogs, including those that may be shy, strong-willed, or require extra patience and understanding. Whether your dog needs a walk, companionship, exercise, or attentive care while you're away, you can trust that they will be treated with patience, kindness, and the same level of care I would give my own dog. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. Now that I am retired, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to the dogs in my care. I enjoy being active and spending time outdoors, so walks, playtime, and exercise are something I genuinely look forward to each day. Because I am not balancing a full-time job, I can provide consistent attention, companionship, and care throughout the day. Whether your dog needs a walk, a drop-in visit, feeding, medication, playtime, or simply some extra love and attention while you're away, I have the time and flexibility to make sure their needs are met. I understand that pets thrive on routine, and I do my best to maintain the schedule and care your pet is accustomed to so they feel comfortable, safe, and happy. Your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. Because I provide dog walking and care in my clients' homes, I focus on maintaining your pet's normal routine and environment to help reduce stress and keep them comfortable. During walks, I use secure leashing practices, remain aware of our surroundings, and tailor the walk to your dog's age, energy level, and individual needs. In your home, I follow all care instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise requirements, and any special preferences or routines. I understand that trust is essential when caring for a family member, and I treat every pet and home with the same respect and attention I would expect for my own. I believe in clear communication and am happy to provide updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away.

About: Experienced pet caregiver with over a decade of hands-on care for young, senior, and special-needs pets. Caring for animals has been a part of my life since I was a young kid. I am currently working part time so I have plenty of time to check on and care for loved ones. I work a split shift so mind day check ins are also available. I can cater to any and all special requests with your pets. I can take them out on walks if a yard is not available and if they are strictly indoor I can provide that care as well.

“Great communication. Sarah is friendly and very responsive.”

About: My wife and I have taken care of many dogs throughout our lives as dogs bring us deep joy and satisfsction in life. Dogs I have taken care of are Yorkie, Chihuahuas, Westie, Shiba Inu mix, Labrador Retriever( hunting dog), Shih Tzus, Husky mix and more. My partner has taken care of a wide of variety dogs, cats, and other pets as well. Our love for dogs always want us to treat and care for them as best as possible. I currently have a Shih Tzu mix who I love like he is a family member and I hope I can bring that level of care to other dogs I have to care for. I have also taken care of senior dogs in the past. Taking care of people's dogs does not feel like a job to us, rather a joyful and fun experience for us both! I'm Pet First Aid/CPR certified through American Health Training. I understand the procedure on how to properly handle dogs from all sizes who are choking, poisoned, unresponsive, how to check vitals and perform CPR if necessary. The training gives me the best understanding and preparation on how to best handle a pet emergency. My wife is also knowledgeable of CPR/ Pet First Aid Care as I taught her what I learned from the course as we both find it really important to care not only for the pet's needs, but be best prepared for an pet emergency. Even with all the demands of life, we always give dogs under my care a lot of attention and have all their needs met! If I have to leave the house for whatever reason, my wife will give her attention to caring for the dogs as we love working as a team to care for our furry animals. If there are any dogs we care for that have separation anxiety issues, we can make sure to give that dog always has company! I live in a two story house with a small backyard that is fenced. I currently have a Shih Tzu mix who loves people and has gotten along well with other dogs in the same household. My dog is not one to try to make friends with other dogs as he does not like dogs coming up to him and in his space, but he can get along well with dogs of similar size or bigger dogs with time and has been in situations where he got along fine with mulitple dogs in a house. My house is spacious so there is plenty of room for the dogs to move about. We have multiple rooms and a dog gate where they can be comfortable if difficulties come up with getting along. I currently live with my wife and two parents as all three are dog lovers who are highly experienced with pet care, so in case I need to leave the house for errands or other needs, my wife can provide attention to the pet if need be as the pet can always have supervision. I will be home very often so I can take out the dog frequently and I live close to a park that's great for walking, and our neighborhood is very safe and plenty of places for walking. The dogs will always have access to fresh and clean water in the house. I will be very attentive to the pet's needs and be very sure they are well taken care of and comfortable under my care😊.

About: I’ve taken care of animals all shapes and sizes for more than 7+ years. Owning two of my own and plenty more before, each animal has been treated with love, compassion, care, and plenty of treats! I have also taken care of animals with special needs and health concerns. I am currently working part time for the Town of Windsor. My schedule varies but I typically am available from 1:30pm to 6pm. I am open for morning hours on Mondays! I care for all my pets with compassion and heart. If need, I do have a fenced yard which allows for safety of your animal or any animal in need.

About: Ever since I can remember i’ve been surrounded by many different animal personalities. From the doggies I have loved, the puppies i've been blessed to bring into my home, and the many other creatures i’ve been able to care for. I have had 8 dogs and 6 cats in my lifetime and a plethora of other fun friends along the way. I sat beside my beautiful Golden as she delivered 2 litters of puppies and cared for them until other families had that privilege. Animals have always been a passion of mine, and all dogs and cats I get the honor to care for are loved just as I would love my own. I have dog sat and taken care of many animals of my friends and family, and I’m excited to expand my caregiver passion. I’m currently on my summer break from college, and I’m pretty much free all the time! Once school starts up again I can work around my schedule. But I am always available Friday-Sunday! I am able to do whatever is necessary for specific pet care in anyone’s home. I am very respectful of clients environments and personal expectations.

About: I have always had pets in my life, and this is reflected in my 20 years of pet care experience, and I'm only 24 years old. What sets me apart from other sitters is my extensive pet care experience combined with a deep commitment to each animal's well-being. Here are some key aspects of my approach: * I am respectful of not only the pet parents' time, energy, and boundaries but also the pet (after all, they are family) * I maintain a structured routine, ensuring that pets receive consistent care, feeding, and exercise. * I excel in time management, ensuring that all tasks and activities are completed efficiently and on schedule. * I am deeply compassionate and empathetic, treating every pet as if they were my own, which helps them feel safe and loved in my care. These qualities enable me to provide high-quality, attentive care that meets the unique needs of each pet I look after. Because it is summer, I am not enrolled in any classes and my days are spent enjoying the summer weather and occasionally hanging out with friends. This means that I am free every day of the week at any time. I will be transferring to a college in Southern California at the end of August, but up until that point, I am free. When I am pet sitting, whether it be an overnight stay or just coming over for potty breaks/walks, I make sure that I am respectful of the family home and make sure that it appears as if I was never there to begin with. Everything has its place within a client's home and it is not my place to move things or reorganize based on my standards. In my home, everything does have its place, even if it looks like chaos it is organized chaos. My cat is taken care of very well if his age is any indication, and I make sure that he is comfortable and feels safe within his home.

“Nyah walked Darla for ten days when our regular walker was unavailable. She did such a great job, she will be our number 1 walker going forward. Not only is she responsible, friendly, and communicative, she also followed directions to a T. But the best thing is how she interacted with the dog. She was so warm and sweet with Darla, and she took her needs into consideration at all times. Practically anyone can walk a dog. But it’s great to find someone who makes it a fun adventure, and not just a job. 100% would recommend.”

About: Hi! I’m an HR professional by trade, but outside of work I’m a devoted dog and cat mom and lifelong animal lover. I recently moved from Sacramento to Sonoma County with my two rescue dogs and am excited to connect with fellow pet parents in the community. Dogs have always been such an important part of my life—not just as pets, but as family. Over the years, I’ve cared for my own dogs, fostered pups, and helped friends and family care for theirs. One of my favorite experiences was working at the Sacramento SPCA for about a year, which deepened my appreciation for every dog’s unique personality and reinforced how meaningful quality pet care can be. When your pet is with me, my goal is simple: I want them to feel safe, loved, comfortable, and cared for—just like they would at home. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, extra snuggles, or a slower pace, I’ll adjust to what makes them happiest. Life gets busy—whether you’re traveling, working long hours, managing family life, or just need an extra hand—and I’d love to help make things easier while giving your fur baby the attention they deserve. Big or small, energetic or laid back, I can’t wait to meet your best friend.

About: I’ve taken care of both dogs and cats since I was 7 years old. I have experience walking dogs, feeding pets, cleaning up, and spending time with them. I have two pets of my own a black cat named velvet and a goldendoodle dog named Chloe. Im currently working on part time, im available Monday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. I will have plenty of time to spend with your fur babies!! And we’ll have lots of fun together hopefully. I have a smaller backyard but it’s spacious I also live in more of a small neighborhood so there’s a lot of sidewalks for walking your fur babies

“Berenice is such a blessing! She took care of Gracie every day for weeks when I couldn’t and Gracie just loves being with her. HIRE Berenice, you’ll be happy you did”

About: Hey, I’m Chappy! Christopher is my legal name… I specialize in walking / caring for large dogs and working breeds, but am happy to work with all breeds and sizes. I have worked with high-energy, reactive, less than sociable dogs too, giving them the physical and metal fulfillment they need. I personally have two larger dogs, Count (German Shepherd Husky mix, 110lbs) and Bentley (German Shepherd Dutch Shepherd mix, 80lbs). I’ve also worked with a range of breeds from pugs to golden retrievers to Alsatian shepherds to American bull dogs. I’m a freelance, work from home marketer, so I’m pretty much always at home and available to take care of dogs, or am able to come to you and take your pup out. We live on roughly 8 acres in Sonoma County, so there is plenty of room at our home for dogs to run and explore. I have two friendly German Shepherd mix dogs that love having friends over. We also have a secure deck that the dogs loving sunbathing on and watching the world go by. I can crate your dog, if need be (we have a crate / room for crates), along with the ability to keep dogs separate if need be. Should your dog use a e-collar of any sort, I’m trained in properly using them, as both of my dogs are trained to them. If your dog loves to hike, we regularly go for hikes on the trails around Sonoma County, or to Dillon Beach to run around off leash.

About: I have been raised with dogs my entire life. Before I was born there were large dogs in the house which I grew up alongside. As I grew the number of pets in the house increased to include exotic animals like reptiles and farm animals. From 9 years old I was individually responsible for the care of a flying squirrelly who lived a happy life until she aged. From 13, myself and my siblings were responsible for the care of large and small farm animals as well as four dogs in the household at one time. My unique experience with many types of animals makes me a prepared caretaker ready to take on any challenge your pets may have. I have open availability to house sit or drop in anytime. My weekends are also open. Early mornings and late nights are available aswell, dm me with any questions 😊. All pets recieve me full devotion when they have my time. Dogs and cats require more connection with people than many realize so I strive to maintain their activity needs as well as their attention needs. Furthermore, any pets that are supposed to stay indoors will stay indoors and pets will be fed and walked promptly. Medicine will be administered any way and any time the pet parent requires.

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.

“Sarah was wonderful with our sweet boy. He was so happy to see her each time she arrived to take him for his walk. Thank you so much, Sarah!!!”

“Laura is getting to know Yogee and also getting better at walking him. He is a energetic puppy and needs a good well paced walk. She is very patient with him which is lovely as he is slowly adapting to her. I hope to have her walk Yogee more in the future. She was very helpful and even started using the Rover cards. She is a really nice person.”
