Pet Sitting in Monte Rio

“Amanda did a phenomenal job taking care of our fur baby. She always quickly replied and made us feel very comfortable. She went out of her way to meet and greet our girl and was so sweet. We totally will book her in the future also. A gem of a person! 🥲🫶”

“Melissa is wonderful! 2 of our 3 dogs have different reactivity issues, and have had some of their “stranger danger” get worse between the pandemic and moving to Sonoma County. It’s a big relief to see our dogs resocializing and looking forward to interacting with new people”

“Casey was a wonderful sitter for my senior kitty. She followed all instructions and played with her and sent reports and photos often and that really put my mind at ease. My cat seemed glad to see me but not overly needy. I would definitely use Casey again!”

“Lauren is honestly the best! I went out of town and she came by once a day to care for my cat Pepper for nine days! She went above and beyond taking pictures with her and playing with her and taking videos and sending them to me and giving me my daily check-ins, in addition to just the normal feeding and changing her litter box. Pepper loved her time with Lauren and I honestly think Pepper has been missing her since she is gone because she played with her so much. She is so mellow, so sweet, so friendly, so reliable and responsible, and I knew pepper was in the best of hands when I was a 6 hour plane ride away! I absolutely recommend her and will be using her again in the future for sure!”

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was in my teens. I was an assistant to an equine vet and have trained horses my entire life. I love dogs and cats and am good at reading their body language. I’m trustworthy and dependable. I work from home and have a flexible schedule that allows me to do extra work. I’m a single mom and am looking for extra income doing what I enjoy. I am extremely vigilant about doors and gates being shut completely. I respect the owners wishes. I treat homes of others as I would my own home.

“Andrea is an awesome pet sitter and I can’t recommend her enough! She did drop ins to check on our two young cats while we were gone and gave them lots of care. She always posted great pictures and notes from her visits and it made it so nice to see our cats while we were away. Thanks Andrea!!!”

“We used Logan as a pet sitter for a 16 day trip. We have a cat and an elderly dog that requires daily medication. Logan was wonderful with our pets and willing to work with our elderly terrier who can be quite the curmudgeon! Logan also took great care of our home, watering plants, gathering mail etc. Logan clearly loves animals and meets them where they are in terms of the care they need. Our cat is fairly independent but our dog likes company even though he can be grumpy. Logan hung out with him and made sure he was well taken care of. We would use Logan again in a heart beat!”

“Caring and accountable!”

“Caleb is a super easy going and reliable dog walker. He has a calm presence, and my dog always seems more relaxed after spending some time with him. Would highly recommend him looking after your doggo!”

“Alison is the best. She really went above and beyond to make my kitties comfortable and happy while I was away for a long period. I am so pleased and so thankful for her great communication, timeliness, thoughful care and attention to detail.”

“Angelina was prompt with her responses, understood our situation, and communicated clearly about our pet's requirements. Looking forward to many more sits with her!”

“John recently just watched my dog for the weekend. I have a Siberian Husky, they are great dogs but very hyper, very needy for attention, and stubborn to other people they are not familiar with. But John did an outstanding job watching him. I received texts morning, noon, and night with updates to put my mind at ease. John understood my dog had a lot of energy and loves to play, so he took him on long walks and played with him using his toys. The next time I leave, I will be using John again. ”

“Kyra is simply an expert Dog friend To know! She has a beautiful dog herself who she manages and allows to be herself in her exuberant way~ yet respectful of my small dogs needs when they are together. She has taught me so much about dog language what their behaviors and ways mean. I would absolutely give an absolute highest rating possible to Kyra as a responsible, kind, on time, understanding dog tender! She’s just a dependable knowledgable person. Tuck her number in your pocket! You’ll not regret it……”

“Jamie was amazing! She watched my two cats for several days, and sent me great updates and photos. She was really responsive to messages and made me feel so comfortable leaving my fur babies in her care! Definitely recommend!”

“Veronica was amazing and stopped by our house twice a day while we were out of town for a long weekend. Manatee (our pup) loved spending time with her, and Veronica took great care of our pup in every way…communicating really well with us, walked him in his favorite field, great work feeding him, and even bought him a new toy. I’d highly recommend her for doggie ? caretaking in your home, and we plan on asking her to watch after our pup again in the future.”

About: I currently have a cat named Kazuki I take care of. I also dog sit for two other family friends for two dogs, as well as a dog and cat! I am currently in school part time, so I have plenty of time to take care and play with your pet! The only days I will not be available are Tuesday and Thursday’s. The rest of the days I am here to help care and play with your pet when you are unavailable so they can get the love they can get while you’re away! When I am at a client’s home I make sure fencing is secured if needed. My home has a fence as well. I also make sure they have enough place to play whether it could be inside or out. I prefer to be outside with them! I love being active with animals but if you’re pet is somewhat a couch potato OR old, I can comfort them in whatever way they feel comfortable.

“Laura was amazing with my cat, Marina. She was very transparent and reliable about when she can come to take care of her, and also spent quality time playing with Marina. I love that she sent me pictures - which gave me peace of mind.”

About: I’ve had a pack my whole life. We are currently only home to one pup and we thought we might do some Doggie day care to fill the hole left in our hearts when our Zoey and Nora crossed the rainbow bridge. We recently returned to our home in Occidental after 18 months in Vermont. Since I’m in between jobs, and we have all this space, I though we would do a little doggie day care. I have a fenced acre yard and multiple kennels for pups who like the security of a crate. We also do some crate training and basic command training.

“Emma took great care of our 20 year old kitty with kidney disease. She sent thorough notes daily and kept us in the loop with all of our kitty's idiosyncrasies. She administered fluids daily and took our baby out on the deck daily for sunshine time. Would 100% recommend!”
