“Elliot was a great fit for our pup Clementine and he took excellent care of her. He kept us updated on how she was doing through the day and took her on multiple walks when she was higher energy. He was kind and trustworthy. We feel very confident in Elliot’s abilities to care for our Pup and look forward to booking him in the future !!”


“Nicole is an absolute gem of a house and pet sitter! From the moment I left, I felt completely at ease knowing my cat, Arrow, was in such caring hands. She sent sweet photo updates every day—each one a little love note from home—and responded to my messages with lightning speed and so much warmth. When I returned, my house was spotless, cozy, and serene. Nicole had even washed and made the bed, which felt like the most thoughtful welcome home. Arrow was happy, relaxed, and clearly adored—his energy said it all. It’s rare to find someone so kind, attentive, and respectful of both your space and your beloved pet. I would wholeheartedly recommend Nicole for any house sitting or pet sitting needs. She’s a true caretaker, and I feel so lucky to have found her!”


“Christina was great! She's knowledgeable about dogs and made us feel so confident leaving our animals in her care. She gave us updates and photos while we were gone. We will definitely have Christina back again.”


“I had the pleasure of hiring Madeleine to take care of my dog, Cash, while I was away for the holidays, and I cannot recommend her highly enough! From the very first interaction, it was clear that Madeleine is not only professional but also genuinely passionate about dogs. She took the time to understand Cash's needs, preferences, and quirks, which put my mind at ease. During the time Madeleine was with Cash, I received regular updates and adorable photos, which really made my day while I was away. It was evident that she provided plenty of love, attention, and playtime. Cash was happy and well-cared for, which speaks volumes about the quality of care provided. She even gave him a new toy. Madeleine is reliable and communicated effectively. I felt confident knowing that Cash was in such capable hands. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your dog like family, look no further than Madeleine. I will definitely be booking her again in the future! Thank you, Madeleine, for your amazing service!”


“Michelle was absolutely fantastic! Her calm, gentle presence instantly put my dogs at ease, and they bonded with her right away. She cared for them with genuine warmth and professionalism, and I returned to happy, relaxed pups. I would gladly have her watch them again without hesitation.”


About: I grew up having cats and dogs my whole life. I adopted my own cat in August of 2023, which has been the best experience of my life! I love all animals and would love to help other busy pet owners! 💛 I just moved to Santa Rosa and I am still looking for a full-time job. I have all the time in the world to care for your babies! I am willing to accommodate to most any pet needs. My goal is to make your fur baby comfy and happy, whether it’s in their own home or mine. My cat is absolutely spoiled and I will treat your animals the same!

“Rachel was absolutely amazing with our two dogs, Peanut and Shelby, during our two-week trip abroad. Despite this being her first time caring for them, she handled everything like a seasoned professional! What impressed us most was Rachel's comprehensive care - not only did she look after our dogs, but she also took wonderful care of our ducks and made sure the wild birds were fed. Her attention to detail was remarkable. The highlight of our trip was receiving regular updates with lots of pictures and cute stories about how our kids were doing. These thoughtful updates gave us such peace of mind while we were away and made us feel connected to our pets even from across the globe. Our home was in perfect condition when we returned, and our pets were happy and well-adjusted - a true testament to Rachel's excellent care. There were absolutely no issues whatsoever. I wouldn't hesitate to book Rachel again because she is a reliable, caring, and attentive pet sitter.”


“Diego was fantastic with our Beagle boys, Royce and Baxter. Diego went above and beyond ensuring that the boys were cared for and keeping us informed daily. Would definitely recommend and book again!”


“Kelli was an absolute dream. Our house was spotless when we returned and the pups and kitties so well taken care of. She put my mind at ease from day one and the pictures she sent of the pups twice a day helped me feel not so far away. I highly recommend Kelli for any kind of petsitting. We were gone 9 days and that felt like a lot, but she made it so much easier.”


“Such an amazing experience having Nyah watch our dogs and staying at our house. Nyah shared photos and videos of the dogs chilling out with her and on walks. One of our dogs is a finicky eater and Cooper ate all of his meals. When we arrived home, the dogs were completely relaxed and greeted us like we had only been gone a couple of hours. Besides the dogs Nyah was a fantastic house guest. Such a fantastic find. Thank you Nyah!!”



“Ashley did a terrific job keeping me in the loop with my dogs for a long weekend! She was enthusiastic, friendly, and left my apartment cleaner than she found it! I definitely plan to use her again for dog sitting.”


“Kaitlin was great housesitting with our 2 dogs! Would absolutely rebook her again next time we need her. She checked in with us often and sent some great photos to let us know how well they were doing. She’s fantastic. ❤️”


About: I have had a German Shepherd companion throughout my life--very blessed. That wasn't easy either as I lived and worked 26 years overseas--22 years in Asia, and took my GSD with me (every where possible). I have also "owned" some great cats--both here in the USA but also at my home in Thailand. Most of my GSD companions I trained myself and they were great in company--took them to work, took them traveling, had friends over...always good, always gentle, and very smart. I am currently semi-retired, so pet care is actually a nice treat. We--my wife, Hien, and I both animal lovers and enjoy the company of pets. We are unable to care for pets where we live, so caring for pets where they live is a very nice opportunity for us. Enjoyable.

“Sarah is absolutely amazing! We have three dogs, one with orthopedic issues, one that is quite exuberant, and one that is nervous around new people. Sarah was patient with our introduction routine, and put our nervous dog at ease almost instantly. She was also great with coming to walk the dogs a few times, to make sure things continued to go smoothly, before staying with them while we were out of town. Our pack can be a handful, which often makes it hard to feel like we can leave them in someone else’s care, but we were never worried about Sarah! While we were gone, Sarah’s frequent updates were so wonderful and reassuring. We could see that the pups were really fond of her company, even Calvin gave her some of his much-coveted attention! She handled all the individualized instructions with ease, and was great about getting everyone out during breaks in the rainy weather. She was also so attentive, noticing that our dog Charlotte’s brace was rubbing, and giving us a heads up. We can’t wait to continue working with Sarah in the future. She’s a lifesaver!”


“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.”


“We used Lauren's dog-sitting services for the first time this past week. She was WONDERFUL with our Miniature Poodle, Ernest. She even came over for a meet-and-greet the day before to introduce herself to Ernest and get detailed instructions on his needs for the stay. Very conscientious. When I got home from work after Lauren cared for Ernest, he was so content! He was calm, smiling and a very happy boy. You can tell she is a natural with animals. I highly recommend her services.”


“Vanessa was punctual, very sweet and Cooper immediately loved her! Coming from out of town and needing help with my pup I appreciated how communicative and reliable she was. Happy to use her again!”


About: I've had a way with animals that brings a calming energy throughout my life. As a young child I would call the bulls over and pet them on the head. The rancher would call my grandmother; stating I was on the fence again with the Bulls! Reiki is a way of calming and the energy knows what to do. I've worked with horses who are passing and calmed animals who are scared. Its in my nature to bring the intention of nourishing. loving, care to your pets. I work a flexible schedule as a Massage Therapist which allows me to also care for pets. I have worked with small and large animals from horses, pups ands felines. I follow the routines of the families, keeping the schedules I would want followed when my pets are being cared for. This includes their feeding, exercise, and sleep routines.
