About: I'm excited to be back to doing what I love best after some time away raising a kiddo and creating a home dreamy for humans and furry friends alike. Treat your canine friend to a retreat in the country and feel comfortable leaving them in the hands of a professional and certified trainer. With over forty years of experience with animals and as a reputable Trainer for an Assistance Dog organization, i have a strong background with animals and can provide a safe and fun environment. My home is a canine paradise! It's quiet and serene with plenty of shade, a fully fenced yard, and a private dirt road that meanders through the countryside right out our back door, - perfect for walks for the dogs. There ia a resident Labrador retrievers named "Heart" and a Bernese Mountaing Dog named "Stormy" They are great ambassadors and love to host furry friends. I can also offer training, baths/grooming just ask if you think you would like this. We look forward to your dogs vacay with us. Why I love dog sitting I know when I leave for vacation, knowing my animals are in good hands allows for me to relax and enjoy my time away worry free. Animal owners are some of the best people I have known and I love meeting new friends, human and furry alike. I work part time from home, so it makes for the ideal environment to incorporate dog sitting into the day. I care for the dogs as if they were my own and I hope that you will allow us the honor to care for you animals(s). I am currently working from home. I leave the house on occasion but can either take your dog with me for a car ride if they like that, leave your dog home or if you would prefer, crate it for a short time. I am never gone long when dogs are n my care. I treat all dogs as if they are my own and follow the instructions of the owners on what to do to make them comfortable while in my 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!!!”

“Brooke took wonderful care of our cat while we were away for a few days. She's very conscientious and communicative and it's clear that our cat enjoyed having Brooke's company! We will definitely reach out again in the future when we need someone to look after our kitty.”

“Amanda did a marvelous job caring for my two kitties, Sonoma and Teton. I arrived home to full water dishes, clean litter boxes, and content cats. I very much endorse her work. Thanks Amanda!”

“Abby's initial response to Micki on her introductory meeting was so positive I knew immediately she would be a great sitter! Though Abby is usually shy and reticent at first, she was happy to see Micki and accepted treats from her as if she were an old friend. I felt confident in her being taken care of and didn't give it a second thought on a very busy day: it gave me huge peace of mind. Thanks, Micki...we'll call you again for sure!!”

“Awesome service provided. I’d definitely rebook with Tamara, as she was always fast to respond, very professional, she did everything I asked and was just awesome to deal with! She took good care of my fur babies for the weekend. 10/10 would recommend:)”

About: I've grown up taking care of both cats and dogs. I love animals and look forward to helping you care your your precious pets. In the past I have worked as a pet and house sitter for a couple families. I always enjoy any time spent with animals. I have flexible schedule making me available to care for your fur babies! I live in Guerneville, but frequently go to Sebastopol throughout the week. So mainly looking to work for ones in these areas. But open to adventuring in to further surrounding areas if its a good fit for us both! Currently I am not able to board pets in my home because I am renting. But I would be happy to stop by and spend time with your pets whenever is needed!

“Chantel was great with our pup. She was on time every day and took really good care of him. We truly appreciated her coming over to spend time with Buford.”

About: I have cared for dogs since I was ten years old and I got my first puppy. After my college graduation I wanted another dog so bad but because of my travel for work I was always the one to just visit and baby sit my parents dogs for about the past 7 years. However, I'm changing careers now to be home more and have my very own puppy and luckily the chance to look after some other cute dogs as well! I live on a 7 acre property and have experience taking care of goats and chickens as well! I'm currently going back to school, mostly online so I have lots of time to drive to and play with your dog. On some days I do have to be at the SRJC in person but never for more than 4 hours at a time. I am an outdoorsy person and I love to go on long walks. I also have a SUV so if a walk in a park further away is desired I can easily transport them. I have a high energy puppy of my own that loves to play with other dogs big and small so he is always available to keep your dog company if they enjoy playing with others.

About: I’ve cared for dogs a lot! My daughter and I fostered dogs for the humane society from bottle feeding to administering meds. Exercise, love and attention— I aim to keep the home routine for feeding and walks that they are used to. I’m working from home these days and can give your pet the care it needs. I never want an animal to suffer with a full bladder or no fresh water. I also am big on exercise for dogs. I have a fenced yard in the country! The road is private and seldom traveled. My older gentle female dog can keep your pet company. I am also able to crate dogs if desired.

About: I love dogs and all animals. I have a lot of experience taking care of my own and others. I have taken care of a farm for 5 years that has 6 dogs, 5 horses, 4 cats, and chickens so I am very attentive and aware of an animals needs at all time. I work from home so your pet can hangout with me all day and I can take breaks for walks and runs. I am available for overnights, extended vacations, dog walks, or special hikes. I am in good shape so long walks, hikes, and exercise aren't an issue. I treat my dog like a member of the family as I will treat yours the same way. They will receive lots of love and attention in my care. Let me know what your pets needs are and I will be happy to provide the best care. I have a lot of repeat clients not on rover so happy to provide plenty more references. My schedule is flexible and I work from home Monday through Friday. I can take breaks during the day to take your pet out for walks. They also can go in and out of the backyard as they please. I have a fenced yard and dogs can stay at my house or I can come to your house too. My house is secure so your pet will be safe.

“Gwenna watched my kitty over the holiday and it went great! My cat was happy when I got home. She sent pictures daily. I will definitely be rebooking! Thanks, Gwenna!”

About: I work with a flexible schedule in West County, so am excited to be able to care for your beloved pets while you’re out of the house! I have been a dog dad before, uncle to many a wonderful pups, and know how to work with and make all types of doggos feel safe. I love to exercise, hike, run and would love to walk your dog as far as they want to go or run around with them for a bit. I have a car so I can get around to wherever you’re located, especially if needed for house sitting. I have experience with little pups and owned a big 60lb puppy. I’ve worked with and loved nervous dogs and built relationship with reactive dogs who need a bit more to of a watchful eye when on a walk or meeting others. I also speak Spanish and have cared for a dog that only speaks Spanish! Some weeks I’m working full time in person and some weeks I have a ton of flexibility at home! I would only take dog sitting gigs if I know I’m gonna be around with a flexible schedule:) I totally understand how vulnerable it can be to invite someone into your home and to care for a precious loved one (your sweet animal!). I’m incredibly neat and prioritize families returning to a home better than they found it. My work is with youth and in mental health- I am a trustworthy resource for you and your animal, and a great communicator while you’re away!
