“Angelina is a wonderful dog sitter. She is friendly, communicative, and flexible. We appreciated her offering to let us see her home before we left Smudge with her. We absolutely would request her assistance in the future!”

About: Walks through Armstrong Redwoods are a favorite activity. I have a large yard and a dog friendly house. I have a couple of years experience working in a veterinary clinic giving me experience medicating animals, including giving injections. I have a pool for dogs who love to swim! I was a volunteer and puppy raiser for Canine Companions for Independence back in the mid to late 1980's, and a Puppy Petter for Assistance Dog Institute in the early 2000's. I've also kept busy with boarding in my home for friends and acquaintances. I love dogs!! I have Sundays and Mondays off from my full time job, but I can fit in a nice walk after 4 pm most other days. When I have someone's dog, they get my full attention; we play, exercise, snuggle. My focus is providing an enriching experience for your dog .

“I 100% recommend Crystal and Rosie! I contacted her last minute asking her to watch my pitbull Lucy. Crystal scheduled a meet and greet the very next morning. Lucy instantly fell in love with both Crystal and Rosie. Crystal sent me updates a few times a day to make me feel comfortable. Lucy cant wait to go back!”

About: I’ve gained hands-on experience caring for dogs through having our own family dog and looking after other people’s pets. I’m comfortable with daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, and providing plenty of love and attention. I’ve cared for dogs with different personalities and understand the importance of being patient, attentive, and adapting to each dog’s individual needs. My priority is always making sure every pup feels safe, happy, and comfortable in my care. Hi there! I know that dogs are so much more than pets-they’re family. After losing our beloved family dog, we experienced firsthand just how much love, joy, and happiness a furry companion brings into a home. While no dog could ever replace the special place ours holds in our hearts, we still have so much love to give, and caring for other dogs has become a beautiful way to share that love. I’m based in Santa Rosa and work from home, which allows me the flexibility to provide companionship, attention, and personalized care throughout the day. Whether your pup enjoys walks, playtime, belly rubs, or simply relaxing with someone nearby, my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely loved. There’s something so special about seeing the happiness dogs bring into our home. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your furry family member in someone else’s care, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. Your dog may be visiting us for just a little while, but they’ll be welcomed with all the love and warmth of family. My children share my love for dogs, and while they enjoy having furry visitors around, I personally handle all pet care and responsibilities. Any interactions with my children are always supervised by me. I also offer morning and evening and weekend drop-in visits.

About: I have co existed with dogs my entire life, and began dog walking and dog sitting regularly nearly 10 years ago. I also have spent numerous years working for a local dog boarding facility. I currently work remotely which gives me free time to hang with your dog at the 10 acre ranch I live on. I prefer to dog sit in my own space but can be flexible if the timing is right. I am most interested in doggy daycare dog and house sitting as a side hobby. *while housesitting dogs & owners must be comfortable that I bring my own dog with me. he is a well socialized friendly 8 yr old cattle dog. I work remotely Sunday though Wednesday 3pm to 11pm. This schedule alows me to be flexible with dog sitting and doggy daycare during the week. I am available outside those hours for dog walking. I provide safe, loving care on my fenced ranch for boarding or in clients’ homes, offering exercise, attention, and a stress-free environment for every pet

“Earl is amazing! Last minute booking for our floating down the river trip from SF and Earl came through and gave our pup a great time. We’ll certainly be back. Thank you, Earl!”

“My pup absolutely loves spending the day with Chris and her dog, he gets so excited every time we pull up to the house. Chris is very flexible, provides lots of updates, and is a pleasure to work with”

Stephanie S.

“We were so grateful that Brittany was able to board Ralphie for an afternoon and evening on a very last minute request. She has the sweetest most playful and loving dog, Monkey, who made Ralphie feel welcome and loved in her space the moment he walked in. We brought Ralphie home exhausted and happy. We will definitely be contacting Brittany again!”

Amanda & Maxwell P.

“Lindsey has the patience of a saint! Today was our guys first day and she gave us super honest and helpful feedback for helping our dog succeed in daycare in the future!”

“Oliver was great and understood our dogs needs. Gave her a great day with up dates and photos. She wasn’t in a rush to leave when we picked her up. Thanks Oliver!”

Seth P.

“Larissa was super nice and made Baylee feel so comfortable! Her two golden retrievers were the sweetest and got along great with my pup. I felt totally at ease leaving Baylee there and will definitely be going back whenever I need help again! 🐶💛”

About: Hi pet parents! If you’re looking for someone who will treat your animals like absolute royalty while you’re away, I’m your girl. Growing up around animals, my love for them runs deep—seriously, I love all kinds of animals. But what really sets me apart is a mix of high energy and endless patience. I'm naturally super active, so if you have a high-energy dog who needs long walks, a solid jog, or endless playtime to burn off zoomies, I’m your person. At the same time, I have tons of patience. Whether your pet is an anxious rescue, a senior who needs a slower pace, or just a little stubborn, I always keep my cool and meet them right where they are. When you book with me, you get a sitter who is reliable, detail-oriented, and obsessed with making your pets happy. Expect plenty of photo updates and total peace of mind while you're out! I’m currently working part time and at home! I’m fully working on my own schedule which makes watching pets a breeze! Can’t wait to meet your pets! My house is three stories with a patio. I live right next to multiple parks. We have a very lively pet loving community with tons of supervision and pet cameras for the house.

About: I’ve loved animals since I was young and have been around dogs my whole life. I’ve had my own dog, Simba, since March 2021, and he’s very much part of my family. I genuinely enjoy having dogs around and getting to know their different personalities. I’m home full-time, so I’m able to give pets a lot of attention and company throughout the day. I enjoy going on walks, playing, hanging out, and just having a dog around while I go about my day. I’m also someone who pays attention to the little details and will make sure your pet’s normal routine is followed. I know leaving your dog with someone else requires trust. I’ll treat your pet with the same care and patience I’d want someone to give Simba. I’m happy to send updates and photos while you’re away, and I’ll make sure your dog gets plenty of attention, affection, and care. I’d love to meet your pup and hopefully become someone they’re excited to see! I work from home full-time, so I have a flexible schedule and am around the house throughout the day. I’m able to give pets plenty of attention, take them for walks, and keep them company rather than leaving them alone for long periods. I already have a regular routine with my own dog, Simba, and I’m happy to adjust my schedule to fit each pet’s individual needs and routine. I’ll be caring for pets in my home, where I have a fenced yard that gives dogs a safe place to get outside, play, and explore. I’m home full-time, so pets will have plenty of supervision and company throughout the day. I’ve had my own dog, Simba, since 2021 and have been around dogs my whole life. I’m very attentive to their behavior and individual needs, and I’m careful about things like doors, gates, food, and making sure they’re comfortable in a new environment. My goal is for your dog to feel like they’re staying with a friend rather than being somewhere unfamiliar. I’ll follow their usual routine as closely as possible and keep you updated with photos and messages so you know they’re happy and doing well.

About: I have been a nurse for 22 years. I am in school again and at home with my 17 lb dog all the time. I have cared for dogs my whole life and taken care of my friends dogs while they travel for as along as I can remember. I have a large fenced in back yard and a dog door. I am easily able to handle medication and medications schedules. My dog loves to play with other dogs and I am hoping to find regulars who would like frequent care so she can have her friends over! I am in school full time via an online program so I am home a tremendous amount. There will be a few days a week that I go into a clinic for 8 hours but most days and nights I am home. We go on nightly walks as well. There is a large fenced yard and in general the back door is open and my dog goes in and out as she wishes! I am very flexible!

“Steven hosted my dog over for doggy day care when I received a last minute cancellation from another sitter. All worked out great. Steven had prompt communication, understood dog behavior and needs, followed through on my requests on how to care for my dog. Perfect experience, highly recommend! My dog will be back!”
