Cat Sitting Orchard

About: I have had pets most of my life since I was a small child. I have a deep bond with animals and love getting to know their individual personalities and having a great time playing together. I am currently working part time on my own schedule so I have a great deal flexibility to come play with your pets and provide them with my undivided attention! I provide care specifically based on each individual client’s requests and unique needs. Please let me know your preferences, needs and concerns. Thank you!

About: I grew up in a neighborhood my friends used to call “the farm”. We had 3 dogs, one neighbor had chickens, one neighbor had horses, and another neighbor had goats. Along with various dogs and cats at each house. Because I was the oldest kid in the neighborhood, I was the go-to person anytime a neighbor needed a house sitter or even just needed me to feed their pet dinner since they were out late. When I got older and started driving, I began dog sitting for our large group of friends, taking care of all sizes of dogs, cats, and the occasional reptile. Although I work part-time, I am generally available 7 days a week for house sitting. I am willing to accommodate crazy schedules and last minute plans if need be. I have a small home but a big yard, so while I can’t accommodate boarding, I have a large outdoor space and my own pup that is eager for play dates during the day. As for house sitting, I provide attentive, personalized care in my client’s home so your pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I follow each pet’s routine closely. With my history in the animal health field, I am comfortable administering any medications if needed. As a person who values communication, I provide regular ‘pupdates’ and pictures so owners feel confident their pets are happy, safe, and well cared for.

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.

“I’ve used Julie a few times now and I can say with confidence that she is taking great care of my big crazy pup! I get the best photos that show me how much fun he is having when she visits him. I don’t trust too many people to have the skills needed to take care of our big guy, but Julie fits the bill! Thanks Julie for sending such fun pupdates!”

“Michael was fantastic. He gave us regular updates and went above and beyond with providing care to our cats. We would love to work with him again in the future.”

“Laura was super responsive and helpful! Confetti is not always comfortable around new people so the fact she came out for Laura is a big plus!”

“Another stellar week of care by Toni! Kyburz never looked happier on the photos and videos she took. Came when needed when the auto feeder failed. Lot of love and play; can't wait to book Toni again.”

About: I’ve always loved being around animals and understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m patient, attentive, and happy to adjust to each pet’s personality and routine. Whether it’s energetic walks, playtime, feeding, or simply giving them attention and comfort, I’ll make sure your pet is well cared for. I also believe in keeping owners updated with messages and photos for peace of mind. Pet care fits well into my weekly routine, and I currently have flexible availability for walks and drop-in visits. I’m available on weekdays after my work hours and weekends I’m available all day , and will do my best to accommodate different schedules whenever possible. I believe pets feel happiest when they feel safe and comfortable in their familiar environment. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine and personality while making sure they receive plenty of attention, patience, and care. I’m respectful of clients’ homes and always prioritize safety, communication, and keeping owners updated with messages and photos.

About: I am a life-long dog owner and lover. In the past few years I have helped raise multiple puppies and been a professional pet and house sitter. I have cared for dogs of all breeds and sizes, from teeny tiny to 130+ lbs ! I love going on walks in nature and making sure dogs get sufficient exercise and mental stimulation. And of course, lots of snuggles! I have experience with elderly and special needs dogs as well, including medication and special diets. I look forward to meeting your sweet pup! I am a musician who works from home so I have a lot of flexibility and time to pour into the animals I am caring for. Daily walks are my favorite! I treat every space I enter as sacred and care for it like my own. My home has 2 small dogs currently, so it is designed for their care and safety. I love to leave a space cleaner than when I found it! And bless it with positive energy, leaving you with a happy pet.

About: I have several years of hands-on experience working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments. As a lead kennel technician, I’ve cared for dogs in both daycare and boarding settings, ensuring their safety, health, and well being. My experience includes supervising group play, recognizing canine body language, administering medications, feeding specialized diets, maintaining clean and sanitary environments, and responding calmly in high pressure situations. I’m passionate about providing compassionate care and creating a safe, positive experience for every dog while building trust with both pets and their owners. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine and something I genuinely enjoy. I prioritize making sure every pet receives the attention, exercise, enrichment, and care they need to stay happy and healthy. Whether it’s feeding, administering medications, maintaining a clean environment, or providing playtime and companionship, I understand the importance of consistency and reliability. Caring for animals isn’t just part of my work. it’s something I’m passionate about and committed to every day. Whether I’m caring for pets in my own home or in a client’s home, I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while maintaining their normal routine. In my home, pets have access to a large, secure backyard where they can run, play, explore, or simply relax in the sun. I also enjoy taking them on walks through my quiet neighborhood to provide exercise and mental stimulation. In a client’s home, I carefully follow all care instructions, including feeding schedules, medications, potty breaks, exercise, and any special routines, while making sure their home is respected and their pets receive plenty of attention, affection, and quality care.

About: Hi, I’m Josephia, and I would absolutely love to meet your pets! I hold a bachelor’s degree in Environmental Studies from the University of California, Santa Barbara. I’ve also been pet sitting for dogs and cats in my neighborhood since high school, giving me over 10 years of experience caring for animals in both casual and structured settings. Most recently, I spent the past year doing a work-stay on a farm, where I was responsible for the vegetable garden, 12 fruit trees, and the daily care of a variety of animals, including two sheep, nine chickens, three cats, and a dog. This experience taught me how to be highly attentive, consistent, and adaptable to different animal needs and personalities. My responsibilities included feeding, cleaning, monitoring health and behavior, and maintaining safe, comfortable environments for all animals. I’m very familiar with sticking to routines, which I know is especially important for pets while their owners are away. I live an active lifestyle and love being outdoors, so I’m great with pets that need long walks, runs, or playtime. I truly treat every pet like my own and prioritize clear communication with owners through updates, messages, and photos so you can feel confident and at ease while you're away. Pet care fits well into my daily and weekly routine. I am currently doing a farm stay in Sebastopol, where I follow a consistent schedule of daily animal care. While these responsibilities do not take up my entire day, they do require me to stay in the area, so I am only able to take on pet care within Sebastopol. I have a flexible schedule and am available any day of the week in the Sebastopol area. I’m able to accommodate morning, midday, and evening visits, as long as it is within the area. I follow your instructions closely and stick to your pet’s normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure. I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are always safe, and I pay attention to each pet’s behavior so I can respond to what they need, whether that’s space, attention, or exercise. I keep your home tidy and respect your space, and I’m happy to send updates and photos so you know how everything is going.

“Michelle took great care of my cat! She cleaned up after him and was very caring and easy to communicate with. Highly recommend!”

About: I grew up with many animals in our household from dogs, cats, turtles, birds, fish, and bunnies and always had a unique connection to them. I have an innate empathetic understanding with them. I have experience with training younger dogs, as well as taking care of elderly dogs. I have experience providing necessary medication if needed, as well as lots of love and snuggles and adventurous hikes or leisurely walks for elderly animals. Currently I have a cat and would love to have another dog but for now getting to take care of other people's dogs or cats would satisfy my desire to be around lots of animals. I am currently a full-time student and I work remotely online so my schedule is flexible and I can work from anywhere. I would prefer to watch dogs and cats in your home. I like to communicate with the owner of the pet and get a clear understanding if there is a particular feeding or walk schedule, as well as if medications are required, or crate preferences. I am happy to send a photo of your animal baby each day if you like daily check ups. I love communication so trust and understanding are developed between myself and the owner.

About: I’m a Santa Rosa/Sonoma County local and lifelong animal lover with experience caring for cats of all personalities. We have an easygoing outdoor cat of our own who we absolutely adore, so I understand that cats like their routines, their space, and affection on their own terms! 🐱❤️ I’m happy to help with feeding, fresh water, litter box care, playtime, outdoor/indoor routines, and of course plenty of love and attention. I know how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your cat while you’re away, and I’ll treat yours with the same patience and care I give my own. I’m fortunate to have a flexible full-time job and work from home a few days a week, with the ability to work remotely longer when needed. This gives me plenty of flexibility to pop in and check on your pets throughout the day. I’m also free most weekends and never work past 5 PM Monday–Friday, so I can easily make time for walks, feedings, check-ins, playtime, and plenty of love and attention. I’ll treat every pet as if they were my own, whether I’m caring for them in their home or welcoming them into mine. I have a fenced yard and a pet-friendly home where their comfort and safety come first. To me, animals are family and deserve to be treated with love, patience, attention, and plenty of affection.
