About: I'm retired, and thus very flexible. I'm quite reliable and dependable. My girlfriend and I live in a historic house near downtown Petaluma. I go for a nice long walk/run most days, and would love to have your dog keep me company! I've had cats or dogs throughout most of my life, and love both. I'm mostly retired, so I'm very flexible about scheduling. Ideally my assignments are in the morning or evening, leaving the middle of the day free for kayaking, bicycling, playing music, or just relaxing. Obviously, it's a lot of trust to put in a stranger from the internet to come into your house while you're gone. Whether it's talking on the phone, meeting in person, being Facebook friends, I'll do my best to help you know I'm not a scammer or a robber.
About: I’m a seasoned house and pet sitter for friends, families, and—over the past year—through TrustedHousesitters. I’ve cared for everything from high‑energy puppies to senior pets who need a slower pace, medication reminders, or extra patience. Having my own pets with their own unique tendencies has made me great at reading an animal’s personality and adapting to what helps them feel safe and relaxed. I keep routines consistent, follow instructions closely, and treat your home with the same respect I give your pets. My goal is always to make sure your animals feel secure and cared for while you’re away, and that you feel fully at ease knowing they’re in good hands. Pet care fits really naturally into my week. I’m already out and about most mornings, so adding walks or drop‑ins feels like a comfortable part of my day. I plan my schedule so I’m never rushed, and when I’m with someone’s pet, they get my full attention — whether that’s a walk, playtime, or just some calm company. I’m used to building my day around animals, so their routine just becomes part of mine. I care for pets in their home the same way I care for my own — with consistency, attention, and a calm presence. I follow your routines so everything feels familiar to your pet, keep feeding and potty schedules on track, and make sure they get the right mix of walks, play, and quiet company. I’m also mindful of your home and keep things tidy, so you come back to a clean, relaxed space. When I’m with your pet, they get my full focus and a steady, reassuring person in their day.
“Tiffany took great care of our guinea pig and fish while we were out of town for a week during the holidays. She is an amazing petsitter and went above and beyond the care we were hoping for. Our guinea pig had last minute health issues, and Tiffany took on extra medication administration as well as wound care. She did an amazing job, and we can’t thank her enough.”

“Savannah is a dream! So professional and kind, an excellent communicator and a quick problem solver. Savannah cared for our chickens for nearly three full weeks and watched over the house and plants. She provided regular updates, was intuitive to care for the girls in the hot weather and allowed my time away to feel so much more at ease. I was so thrilled to return with thriving plants, and happy, calm chickens. Will definitely look to book with her again in the future, and recommend fully!”


About: I have hands on experience caring for my own terrier since he was a puppy and is now 9 years old. Through friends and family I’ve also spent time caring for their dogs and cats. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, and check-ins. I love animals and getting to know their personalities. I want to make sure they feel loved and cared for while their owners are away. I currently work at a school but am off during the summer. Which gives me the flexibility schedule. I’m available weekdays in the morning, afternoon, and evenings. Some Sundays depending on the day. I am happy to communicate and work with each pet owner to find a schedule that works best. I treat every pet as if they are my own and try to keep up with their routine. I follow feeing instructions, make sure pets have fresh water, playtime, exercise. I feel comfortable providing updates and photos to make pet owner feel at ease. My priority is to make sure pets feel safe and cared for.
“Sigrid was great! She came first for a meet and great to meet Ozzy and make sure he would be comfortable with her. Then when she came for the drop in visit, after feeding Ozzy she spent extra time with him —playing fetch and walking with him until he was worn out. She kept us updated with photos and videos during the visit and it was clear that Ozzy was having a great time with her. We are grateful that Sigrid took extra time to get to know Ozzy and make sure he was at ease with her — that’s not always easy for Ozzy, as he was mistreated in his former life. Sigrid is clearly a true dog lover, and I highly recommend her. Your pup will be in good, capable and loving hands with Sigrid!”

About: I will see to it that your beloved pet is well taken care of, loved and given the opportunity to play outside and enjoy the outdoors whenever possible. I am an avid hiker and trail runner and, if allowed, would love to share that with your pet! I have had two dogs in my life and both of them taught me patience among other things. I can handle energetic dogs and I can also tend to elderly dogs as well. I am happy to tailor my service in any way that might serve your pet better and I'm always open to any and all feedback. Although I do hold a 9-5, full-time job, my availability is very flexible on weekdays and weekends with some notice.

I am flexible and can navigate my schedule to meet your needs! I can pop by for a quick lunch time potty visit or help get energy out on hour + excursions! I am a pet owner and lover on top of caring for animals! Safety and calm is my number one priority! Pets are a part of the family and are treated as such!
“Our wirehaired doxies immediately warmed to Jessica which made us feel really comfortable leaving them for the first time in years and years. It’s clear she loves dogs and understands separation anxiety issues. They got extra love and attention, and when we got home they slept for hours! Thank you, Jessica!”

“Sam was great. He checked in on our new kitten and helped with those mid day zoomies. The kitten was very comfortable with him. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for pet care.”

About: What sets me apart is the calm, cat-focused home environment I provide, combined with over 6 years of hands-on cat care experience. I specialize in creating a low-stress, clean, and structured space where cats can feel safe and comfortable, whether they are playful, shy, or senior cats needing extra patience. I pay close attention to each cat’s individual needs and routines, from feeding and enrichment to litter box hygiene and daily observation of behavior. I’m also experienced in giving gentle care and medication support when needed, always prioritizing the cat’s comfort and emotional well-being. Most importantly, I treat every cat like family—offering consistent affection, one-on-one attention, and a peaceful home environment designed to help them relax and feel secure while their owners are away. I work part-time and am home most of the time, which allows me to provide consistent, attentive care throughout the day. Pet care is naturally integrated into my daily routine, including feeding, playtime, litter maintenance, and regular check-ins. I have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability to give pets the attention, companionship, and supervision they need. My home is designed to be a safe and secure environment for pets. It has multiple layers of doors, a fully fenced yard, and security cameras at the front for added safety. All doors are kept closed at all times to prevent any chance of escape. I also have a calm, controlled indoor space with no dogs, no children, and a clean, structured setup for cats. I prioritize trust, safety, and routine—ensuring every pet feels secure, supervised, and comfortable at all times. Each cat is carefully monitored, and I maintain a quiet, stress-free environment where they can relax and feel at home.
About: Since I was young I've been drawn to animals and that's only grown stronger the older I've gotten. Currently I am working at a dog boarding facility, but beyond that I have years of experience taking care of dogs and cats. On my days off I have open availability for dog walking/ house sitting but on my work days I can swing by during my lunch break or after I'm off work, depending what it is you need! I do not take the responsibility of your furry friends care lightly, they will be in good hands with me and have a new friend! I am also comfortable checking in on any plants you may have if you're out of town and needing pet sitting. Currently working 4 days a week, so 3 days of the week I have open availability. On work days I am available during my lunch break- or when I'm off, at either 4:30 / 5:30. While I can not offer home sitting where I am at, that just means your pet can stay comfortable at your house! I am responsible and respect others living spaces. I would even be happy to check in on your plants for you while I'm there taking care of your pet(s)!
About: I am a huge animal lover. Ever since I was little I have loved being around animals. I started pet sitting for my neighbors since I was 15. They rely on me to feed and water their pets, let them out when needed, walk them, and sometimes give them their medication. 2 years ago, our family got our first dog; his name is Sydney and he's an Aussiedoodle. I already had a lot of experience with pets from pet sitting but I have really learned so much more from him which has helped me learn how to handle all types of pets. He's one of the best things to ever happen to us and really is the center of my family's universe. I’m currently on summer break so my schedule is fairly open. Times might vary though I’m flexible and it's something I'm happy to work out in order to fit everyone's schedule. When I am taking care of your pets, I'll always make sure to treat them as my own. I try to maintain a consistent routine as much as possible and give them lots of extra love and attention because I know how hard it can be on pets when their humans leave. Additionally, I make sure that they are able to eat and drink water during each visit because I know that sometimes their appetite decreases if they're sad and missing their owners. I love walking and I would love to spend time walking your pets and making sure they have fun and are comfortable but I can't walk more than dog at a time. I am also happy to accommodate any special needs your pet might have and keep you updated with pictures etc to put your mind at ease. My goal is that your pets remain happy and healthy while I am taking care of them.
About: I have taken care of dogs my whole life. I was raised in a house with at least 6 dogs. I love all animals and care for they wellbeing. I am working part-time jobs 3 days a week and will have plenty time to take care of the dog and take them for walks and get some exercises if needed . I have a safe fenced backyard with lots of space for them to move around and play. I would engage and not leave them alone for a long time.

I have used Ariel a few times now and really appreciate her. She is trustworthy, reliable, and communicative. My kitty is a scaredy cat and when he found a new hiding spot and Ariel couldn't find him once, she called to let me know and offered to stay longer than her booked time, which I really appreciated. I highly recommend Ariel!

Finding Audrey has been such a treat for us. She is smart and personable and she is extremely responsible and dependable. She took such wonderful care of our cat and our home. We are so pleased and relieved to find such a nice person to take care of our pet and keep an eye on things while we are away. We no longer need to feel guilty about burdening the neighbors. We think the cat misses her, she got so much extra special personal attention while we were gone!
