Pet Sitting in Occidental

“An excellent experience for us and our two large doggos. One of our dogs us recovering from a major surgery and she had no problem handling allot of special instructions. Andrea kept us posted with photos through out the day, where we could see the dogs were happy and cared for :)”

“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!”

“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!”

About: I’ve been in the horse training and care industry for roughly 20 years and have learned an immense amount about animal care over that time. I have worked with all different species, breeds, sizes, and temperaments and I am willing to take on any challenge. My schedule is currently part time and scattered so I have a lot of availability and flexibility to care for any and all animals. I also have nearly fully availability on the weekends. I will not be offering services in my home but will be available to travel to your home and I will respect your house rules.

About: I have loved animals like family as long as I can remember. And feel I have a special connection with them and them with me because of my calm and centered energy. Animals communicate and respond through peoples energy and I feel its how they know to feel safe. I care for dogs, cats, bunnies, birds, lizards etc. And am happy to answer any questions on all. I work for myself so I have a flexible schedule and can usually accommodate most schedule needs of pet parents. I typically make morning and evening rounds and unless I am out of town I am available 7 days a week. I take pride in my attention to detail and upon first introduction I try and get as much information as possible about a clients home and needs pertaining to their pets and what they are used to so that I can do my best to maintain that schedule and activity.

“Micki’s energy level and pure love for dogs is abundantly evident. She is communicative, professional, and reliable! We feel 100% confident leaving Hijo in her care.”

“Holly clearly loves animals and was so good with my kitten! She shared pictures of him playing and getting a snuggle. I was very comfortable having her care for my fur baby 🥰”

“Gwenna is doing a great job training my pup to walk on leash and with basic behaviors. She even provided a whole list of what she is working on and how she trains. Gwenna goes above and beyond and is a tremendous help.”

“William has provided wonderful care for my dog Finn. He arrives right on time for drop-ins, shares photos and updates, and shows Finn lots of love. Would definitely recommend!”

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.

“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”

About: I've taken care of both dogs and cats for the past 15 years. I have experience caring for senior dogs and cats. I also have experience with horses. I am currently working Monday through Thursday. I am available Friday, Saturday and Sundays during the day. I may also have some evening availability depending on my schedule. At this time, I am unable to accept pets in my home. However, I am available to come to your house and take care of your pet.

About: I am very intuitive, calm, and have a natural ability to connect with every dog that I meet. I take the time to learn each pup’s unique personality, routines, and quirks — whether that’s a favorite walking route, a special way they like to be greeted, or the toy that always gets their tail wagging. I treat every dog as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and happy while their owners are away. My passion is to provide attentive, tailored care whether it's for walks or in-home care. I am a great communicator and will always provide updates as requested to put your mind at ease. Serving Sonoma and Marin County! I will update my availability regularly on the Rover calendar to ensure accuracy. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry friend and how I can be of service. I am reliable, trustworthy, and responsible so you can trust me to keep your place clean and safe, just like you left it or better as I love a clean home. I take great pride in being engaged and present with them whether we are on walks, hikes or just chilling out. I am attentive, compassionate, and loving so your four-legged friend will not just get a sitter, but a dog lover who will give them love and affection in my care. To ease the mind of pet parents, I am more than happy to send updates, pictures, or videos during my care. I want you to feel reassured that he/she is in good hands.

“Louise was very loving and caring for Mincah. I am very happy with her. Very professional.”

About: I am an animal lover and treat my own pets like part of the family. I am very active and love to take dogs on walks and I will love taking yours! I know they live for their walks! I will throw balls for your dog and take them to the park if wanted. I treat every dog the same and love them all...BIG or small. I am open to cats as well! My house is calm and tranquil. There are no kids in my house. My husky mix recently passed away suddenly in October and I miss her so much... Her name was Lily and she lived for her 2x/day walks. That is part of why I am doing this as a part time job because I miss my dog and would love to be around animals more. Pick me to take care of your loved one! I do work full time and I am gone 8-5 unfortunately. So weekends would be best for me. I’d be willing to do weekdays but you would have to be comfortable with me being gone during the day. I would take them on 2-3 walks per day.. 1 in the morning before work and 1 as soon as I get home from work. Unfortunately I don’t have a yard, just a small deck. If it’s a cat, I would make sure they had care and attention when I am home.

“Clair helped with both of my doggies so I could go on an overnight trip and did a fantastic job. One dog was shy, but Clair was patient and worked with her. I'm very happy with how Clair interacted with them.”

About: I am a devoted animal person. I have had dogs and cats my whole life, and am experienced with puppies as well as senior dogs. I currently work remotely and have a flexible schedule. I am available for dog walking weekdays and some weekends. Open to special requests and needs. My home has a large doggie door which opens to large fenced in yard. Dogs come in and out as they please. Lots of play toys and special attention.

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.

“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.”

“Betsy was great! My kitty isn’t very friendly but doesn’t seem scared of Betsy at all, so that is really comforting. She is very responsive and sent a picture. Next time we are out of town we will definitely be using Betsy to check on our kitty!”
