House Sitting in Little Penny

“Lynnette is one of the best I've seen with animals. My dog Mavis is a retired service dog. She is temperamental and slow to warm to people. Lynnette is the first person I've seen Mavis interact with who could sit with and pet her, in the first 5 minutes. Mavis was so at home with Lynnette and tried to guard Lynnette when I arrived to bring her home. Lynnette played, walked, and relaxed with Mavis. She sent me updates, pictures, and videos of Mavis having a wonderful vacation. She has an enclosed yard that allows dogs to safely explore outside. I highly recommend Lynnette!”

“Francesca is wonderful! She stayed with my senior dog last minute and took such great care of her- she even left me a little note about how it went. Thank you again!”

About: I've always loved all animals, always caring for or begging my folks for another fur baby. I grew up on farm, then moved into town. I was active in FFA. All animals including wildlife have been a part of my life since I was born. Cows, chickens, goats, dogs, cats, birds, lizards, I even raised a baby squirrel. You name it I've probably have cared for it! I retired "young", so I have all time for your pets and mine! I'm available for long walks which my husband and I do daily for ourselves (sometimes twice a day). We love Spring lake and there is a lovely shady park near our home that has two dog parks We have a huge fenced yard and three indoor/outside cats to keep your fur baby company. Or, I can come to your house for potty breaks, play time, walks or pets.

About: I love all dogs and cats, and birds. My whole life I have had dogs and cats. Over many years, my pets have been schnauzer mix, sheepdog mix, rottweiler, pitbull mix, boxer mixes, and now Yorkie mixes. I am strong and love to walk dogs and play. I allow pets on furniture and beds. But if you don't want your pet to bring these habits to your home, I will honor your requests to keep them off the furniture. I am experienced with bathing dogs, but I am not a groomer or nail trimmer. I am energetic and attentive to your pets needs. Senior dog care is my specialty. I have soft pet stairs to get to the couch and bed. I have a pet stroller for sniffing and sight seeing without over exertion. We also have pet pads and diapers if incontinence is an issue. Our home is clean and pet friendly/safe. We are looking forward to caring for your pet🐕 I am available most days and weekends. This is perfect for pets with separation anxiety or pets who have a lot of energy and want to play or walk a lot. I have a 1 mile walk 2x per day. Lots of shade and slow minimal cars in the area. I will maintain any habits you have for your pet. Yes on furniture, no on furniture. Yes to crate(I have large and small crates) or no crate. Special diet or simple diet. Etc. I have experience with giving meds- oral, topical, injection (intramuscular or subcutaneous...not intravenous), ear meds, wound care. I have 2 small dogs. But if you dog doesn't appreciate other dogs, I can easily keep them separated. My yard is securely fenced and I have dog doors for anytime access and can be closed for any reason ex: at night etc. I am very trainable to care for your pet the way you want them to be treated.

“Natalia went above and beyond in caring for our dog while we were away for a week. She kept us updated with frequent photos and even a video, which reassured us that our pet was in good hands. Natalia's prompt communication and genuine care for our furry friend made our trip worry-free. We highly recommend her services to anyone seeking a responsible and attentive pet sitter. She was awesome!”

“Kendall took care of my 3 kitties and house sat while I was away for almost 2 weeks. The kitties were well taken care of and happy when I returned. She took the time to clean the house and do laundry so I returned to a clean home, always great after a long trip. She was very responsive and accommodating. Extremely friendly and kind to the kitties. Hopefully she'll be available the next time I need to leave them.”

Laurel R.

“Michele responded quickly to my initial request. She came to my house to meet the cats and talk to me, which made me feel comfortable that they would be well taken care of. She sent me frequent pictures and videos, showing the cats playing and having a good time. I suspect they enjoyed their time with her more than the day to day they spend with me. She even informed me that one of my cats likes to participate in yoga. After 9 years, this was new information. When I came home the house was clean and cats were happy. I would highly recommend Michele.Hopefully she is available the next time I go out of town.”

Laurel R.

“Caitlin stayed with our senior dog for a week over the Christmas holiday. She made time to meet our dog ahead of time and spent time with us getting to know our routines. She did an excellent job keeping us updated and sent lots of pictures. Our dog takes multiple medications and eye drops. Caitlin was able to handle all of them with no problems. Our house was very well taken care of and clean when we got back. I am looking forward to working with Caitlin in the future!”

About: I’ve taken care of community members animals. I work at a vet clinic. I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life. I’ve worked with small and large animals. I am currently an undergraduate student at university of Idaho obtaining my bachelors in Pre-Vet. I am in Mendocino County until the month of August I care for animals based on their body language. Most of the time I can tell if Animals are not gonna get along. If the animals get along I will let them play together if they do not I will crate one at a time.

About: I’ve been around dogs since I was toddler, I’ve been engaging in taking care of dogs since the age of 16. I can handle big and small dogs also. A particular breed isn’t an issue either. Being patient and attentive to their needs is crucial and being able to listen and understand your dog will help providing them the best comfort that they need: I’m currently working a part time job. I can arrange time in the afternoons also during the evening/night times. Anything after 3:30pm would work best. If I have the entire day off then we can arrange an earlier time to take care of your furr baby. I have a dog that loves to play and he will give company to your dog and providing your fur baby some company . They will stay in doors and will take them out to to play for a bit at my fenced back yard with my dog.

About: I have an adorable cat who I love so very much where I live currently I can’t have a dog so I want to combine my love for taking walks with my love for dogs/animals. I work weekends, but my weekdays are free! I had a dog my entire life aside from moving to California I trained my German Shepherd and learned techniques for proper walking. I know how stressed animals get when they are alone they also are very aware of time so if they know someone is coming everyday at a certain time they are happier! I would be so honored to take care of your pets knowing how important a pet is in every family. I’m willing to help with grooming, For dogs and cats I’ve been giving my cat a bath since he was a baby and he actually enjoys it. Every animal is different I want to find out from you what works for you!

“Christine was amazing! She took such great care of our pups while we were gone. We will definitely use Christine in the future”

About: I’ve been a dedicated dog person for my entire life. I’ve trained dogs to become truffle hunters and carnivore trackers but I don’t discriminate - I love ALL the dogs just the way they are. I’ve been a proud dog mom and recently lost my beloved pup, so am looking to fill that hole with other people’s dogs on a part time basis for a while, and to try out living in different areas of Mendocino County as I settle in here. I’m a full time Development Director for a local marine science non-profit with a good work-from-home and dog friendly policy. Your pet would be my companion full time, if they are able to accompany me during meetings and time at the office. I can work from your home if there is high speed internet on a full time basis, as well. I have a crate at my home and my place where I live is fully fenced in and good for dogs. My car is set up for a dog, and I am vigilant about giving your pup plenty of exercise and keeping them fulfilled and cared for with a full time watchful eye.
