Pet Sitting Shellville Colony

About: I grew up surrounded by dogs of all sizes and have volunteered at shelters and adoption events like Rocket Dog Rescue and Pets Lifeline since I was a kid. Through this rescue work, I am experienced in safe new dog introductions and behavioral de-escalation. I adopted my current dog at an event I was working and raised her as my emotional support animal on my busy college campus, which taught me how to keep pets grounded in stimulating environments. She is fantastic with small dogs, so if your little ones stay with us, they will have a friendly companion. Whether you have a big breed, a timid rescue, or an independent cat, I am dedicated to providing a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for them while you are away. I just finished my masters program so I currently have a highly flexible schedule, meaning I can dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pets throughout the day. My weekends are sometimes eventful, but my weeks are free for some furry love! I live in a cozy condo in Sonoma with my dog. While I don't have a private yard, I have a beautiful porch perfect for afternoon sunbathing. Safety is my top priority, so dogs are only ever allowed on the porch when I am home and actively supervising them. To make up for the lack of a yard, I go on frequent adventures! My dog and I regularly visit the lovely park just around the corner to run and search for lizards, and we love walking the perimeter of the Sonoma Square for people watching.

“Gianna was an amazing sitter for our cat Eli while we took a short trip out of town. Always arrived promptly at the times to feed and take care of Eli and from the looks of the pictures, he got Cody with her very quickly!! We will definitely be using her services again.”

“It was our first time having Haley watch our Gigi. She did a handful of drop in visits over 2 days. She was timely, patient, and kept us updated throughout. Gigi was very comfortable around her and warmed up to her. Haley was flexible and took really good care of our dog. We plan to have her babysit Gigi again in the future.”

About: My first fur baby was Minnie (chi-weenie) gifted to me when I was 7 years old! Since then I grew up with her, my other fur baby Kobe who is a chihuahua mix, Lilly (Pitbull mix, and Chico (Pitbull mix.) My home was full of their love. I get to continue to share the love with all the doggy’s I have met so far. I am that friend everyone would come to for advice for their fur babies and to take care of. The last couple pictures are my precious babies that I would frequently care for in LA. I hope I am able to share these fun days with your fur baby! Whenever I get the chance to take a long walk I love including any doggy with me or just relaxing and watch bluey with my new fur pals. I’m very respectful of my surroundings and will always ask questions to know exactly of what you expect of me. Can’t wait to spend time with your pup!

“Christiana is very responsible and reliable. Our two cats were well cared for while we were away. Highly recommend!”

About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and years of hands-on experience. I have four dogs of my own, and have experience training numerous dogs with different personalities and needs. I'm comfortable working with young pets who need patience, consistency, and basic training, as well as older pets who may need a slower pace and extra attention. I treat every animal with the same patience, care, and respect that I give my own. Pet care is already a natural part of my everyday life. With four dogs of my own, my daily routine includes feeding, exercise, playtime, training, and plenty of attention. Caring for animals has always been a big part of my life, so adding another pet to my routine comes naturally. I’m dependable, attentive, and make sure each pet gets the individual care and companionship they need. I care for every pet based on their normal routine, personality, and their owner's instructions. In a client's home, I make sure they have fresh food and water, exercise or playtime, a clean and comfortable environment, and plenty of attention. I respect each pet's boundaries and their home while keeping safety a top priority. Whether it's a high-energy dog, a playful kitten, or a pet that needs extra patience, I treat them like they're one of my own.
