Pet Sitting Simi

About: I love to care for animals and over the years I’ve enjoyed looking after dogs, cats, chickens- even pigs! Getting to know each pet’s unique personality is one of my favorite parts of the job. I believe every animal deserves care that is detailed to their needs & I’ll work with you to create a routine that feels familiar, fun and safe. Whether you’re away for the day, at work or on vacation, you’ll have peace of mind knowing your pets getting lots of love attention and care - just like at home. I’m at home during all dog sitting. I live in a safe, walkable area near a grassy park. I can travel to you for care, exercise and walking. Fenced yard, sun and shade, doggy pool, time for walks, play, napping. My pooch has seizures, so I have dealt with this quite a bit. Can administer medicines as well.

“Stephanie was wonderful with our cat Penelope who had some tummy issues which Stephanie handled with care and love. She offered many tips as she is also a feline lover, so we felt we were in good hands. We will use again and highly recommend.”

About: Your dog will have our full attention in a calm environment where routine and comfort comes first. I specialize in creating a low stress, structured experience for puppies, seniors, and anxious dogs. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine as I work from home. Dogs receive consistent supervision, regular walks, and attention throughout the day with no long periods alone. My schedule includes a balance of walks, rest, and engagement, and I adjust easily to meet each dog’s needs whether that’s extra potty breaks for puppies, a slower pace for seniors, or a calm low stress environment for more anxious dogs. I provide a calm a calm, quiet, and dog friendly home designed to help dogs feel safe and at ease. Dogs are welcome on couches, beds, and anywhere they feel most comfortable, creating a familiar, low stress environment. Because I work from home, dogs receive consistent supervision, attention, and companionship throughout the day and are never left alone for extended periods. I keep my boarding limited so each dog gets personalized care in a structured, low stimulation setting. While I don’t have a fenced yard, I prioritize safe and enriching outdoor time with multiple daily walks to nearby parks and recreation areas, tailored to each dog’s energy level and needs. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, and those with anxiety. I take a patient, attentive approach to help each dog feel secure and settled. I follow your dog’s routine as closely as possible including feeding, walks, medications, and sleep preferences. Consistency and comfort comes first. I also provide regular photo and video and video updates so you can feel confident your dog is safe, happy, and well cared for. My goal is to create a reliable, high quality experience and build lasting relationships with both dogs and their families.

“Ashleigh was the best. She took care of both my cat and dog while I was on vacation. My dog usually is hesitant when being walked by someone other than me but she was very patient and was able to take him on good long walks. 10/10 would recommend!”

“Lauren was so great with our pups! We were visiting and she came to our inn to stay with them while we went out to dinner. The pups took to her right away and barely noticed we were gone. She sent pictures of our content pups so we felt comfortable lingering over dessert. We will definitely call her again when we’re in the area!”

About: Hi! I’m Shay! I currently work at a vet hospital and I love seeing everyone’s pets - so here I am! my animals are all well behaved and i thoroughly enjoy meeting/watching new dogs. I'm all about getting to know the dogs needs and daily routine and continuing with their normal routine, and providing a safe environment for them. I’m extremely flexible and can work with any animals needs. I also own my own vehicle and can come to you wherever! Thank you so much! I work full time at a veterinary hospital but very flexible in my off time - happy to accommodate a pet anytime or as needed. I take pride in the attention to detail and making your pets feel like they’re not all alone. I am very responsible and quick to notice if there is something wrong.

About: I’m the lady who crosses the street to ask if I can pet your dog. I love all dogs, but big dogs have my heart. I confess, I’m also the lady that will remember your dog’s name, age and origins, but perhaps not always your name. Although I have the confidence and experience to befriend your big dogs, that shouldn’t suggest that I don’t love our smaller friends, as well. Big and small, I love them all❣️ I’ve been responsible for animals most of my life. Chiefly, I’ve had the privilege to care and own big dogs. Growing up, we had a Sheppard-Mastiff mix, and that’s when my love for big dogs began. In our house, we had a macaw, cockatoo, kākāriki, ring-necked parakeet, and a cockatiel, tropical/ saltwater fish, dogs, and cats. I continue to be a proud breed ambassador and have owned 4 Rottweilers over the years. I’ve been gainfully employed as a civil servant for 25 years. After my last Rottweiler passed away, I wanted to care for a dog again, but haven’t adopted quite yet. I enjoy hiking, outdoor activities, walking and traveling, and of course dogs! I’ve had the privilege to care for our misunderstood and sometimes reactive dog friends, as well. All dogs deserve love. I helped welp Belgian Malinois puppies and ensure they found loving, deserving homes. I joke that, “If the choice was between world peace or puppies, I would choose puppies.” I can’t wait to meet your doggie! Since I’m a civil servant, my schedule is consistent. I have free nights and 3-day weekends. I enjoy a lot of free time that I would like to fulfill with dogs. I have a secured, fenced yard. I can also kennel your pets as well. My responsibility to you is ensuring your family member is secure in my charge.

I have been surrounded by cats and dogs my whole life and currently have a German shepherd and 3 cats that are my babies. I would love to take care of your animals any way that I can and give them all the love that they need. I can pet sit, walk your dog, or just visit your pets for a little play date whenever you need me. Let me know if you are interested in having me take care of your wonderful pets and I’ll get back to you right away! I’m working full time at the moment, however I always make time to visit your pets and take them on walks. It is a stress reliever for me so I can easily fit them into my schedule. I have 3 cats and a German shepherd in my house. I always make sure they have food and plenty of water, especially in the summer time with hot weather. I will treat your pets exactly how I would treat my own, with love and kindness and plenty of attention.

“Miranda dog sat for us while my husband and I were visiting Guerneville. Miranda was a good communicator And highly responsible.

About: I have been an animal owner all of my life. I currently have a large lab and a cat. I house sit for family and friends and assist with watching their animals. I work remote so have flexibility mid day. I also have weekends free for house sitting and animal care. I am happy to walk or check on your pets mid day and in the evenings. I am dependable and responsible, I am happy to care for your pet based on your pets needs. I am happy to care for your pet in your environment.

About: I have taken care of two owners pets, house sitting for over two years. They were out of town for a week or more and I would stay at there house, take care of their dog(s) by feeding, taking walks and playing with them. It has been a few years since I have done this. I have also owned two dogs, who have since passed. I have grown up with all kinds of pets, including dogs, chickens, rabbits and cats. Please not, I do work full time at Kaiser in Santa Rosa, Monday-Friday, 8am-4:30pm. I also do volunteer work every other Saturday from 10am-2pm. I would be able to take my lunch anytime and make sure to check on animals (if in Santa Rosa area). I am more than happy to send updates and pictures on any pets that I care for. I can’t take care of pets in my home unfortunately , as I live with my father and he is very allergic to animals. But I will make sure that your pets are cared for and get the attention they need. I’ve always had dogs and cats. I have cared for my coworkers dogs and would house sit at the same time, when they went out of town.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with years of hands on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and needs. I truly can’t remember a time in my life when I didn’t have a dog, and caring for them has always been something incredibly important to me. I have experience with everything from extra small breeds to extra large dogs, and I’m comfortable adapting my care to each dog’s size, personality, energy level, and individual needs. I also have experience caring for long coated breeds and understand the importance of consistent brushing, coat maintenance, and keeping dogs clean, comfortable, and well cared for. Whether your dog loves going on walks, playing with their favorite toys, enjoying outdoor time, getting a bath, or simply relaxing with some affection, I’m happy to make their care a positive and enjoyable experience. I love getting to know each dog’s unique personality and ensuring they receive the attention, exercise, and companionship they need. I also have extensive experience with reactive dogs and dogs with high prey drives. Whether a dog is reactive toward unfamiliar people, other dogs, or other animals, I understand the importance of patience, awareness, and respecting their individual boundaries. I recognize that every dog has different triggers and comfort levels, and I take those differences seriously. I prioritize safe handling, maintaining appropriate distances, following owner instructions, and avoiding situations that could overwhelm a dog or put anyone at risk. I’m also very familiar with high energy dogs and dogs who require extra attention and structure. I understand that some dogs need more thoughtful management during walks, around distractions, or when encountering other animals. My goal is always to provide calm, attentive care that respects each dog's needs rather than expecting every dog to behave the same way. While I’m not a professional dog trainer, I do have hands on experience training my own dogs. I’ve worked on recall, leash manners, and appropriate behavior, and I’m incredibly proud of the progress they’ve made. Through that experience, I’ve learned just how much patience, time, and consistency matter when working with dogs. I understand that progress doesn't happen overnight, and I believe in setting dogs up for success through consistent expectations and positive experiences. I’m happy to reinforce your existing routines and commands while following your training preferences. One of my biggest strengths is caring for dogs with special needs and medical conditions. I have extensive experience with senior dogs, medication administration, and providing attentive care to dogs who require additional support. I’m also experienced in caring for dogs with compromised immune systems and serious, lifelong, or terminal illnesses. I understand that these dogs may need extra precautions, consistent routines, close attention, and a particularly gentle approach. I know that administering medication can sometimes be challenging, especially when a dog is reluctant to take it. I strive to make medication time as calm, comfortable, and stress free as possible while following your instructions carefully. I also understand how important it is to recognize changes in a dog's behavior or routine and communicate any concerns to their owner promptly. Senior and medically complex dogs hold a special place in my heart. I believe they deserve the same love, dignity, patience, and quality of care as any other dog, with adjustments made to suit their comfort and abilities. Whether that means taking a slower walk, providing extra help with daily routines, respecting mobility limitations, or simply offering a calm and comforting presence, I’m dedicated to meeting each dog where they are. My approach to dog care is built on compassion, patience, attentiveness, and genuine love. I understand that trusting someone with your dog is a big deal, especially when your pup has specific medical needs, behavioral challenges, or requires extra care. I take that responsibility seriously and will always do my best to make your dog feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Your dog isn't just another booking to me. They're a beloved member of your family, and they'll be treated with the same kindness and consideration I would want for my own. I’ll follow your care instructions closely, respect your routines, and make your dog's well being my priority. I look forward to meeting you and your four legged family member! I’m a part time college student, so I have a ton of time to work around and adapt to your pets schedule so they don’t have to change a single thing! My top priorities are always safety, trust, and making sure every pet feels comfortable in their environment. Having grown up with animals and cared for pets with a wide variety of needs, I understand that every animal has their own personality, boundaries, routines, and comfort levels. In a client's home, I make it a priority to maintain their pet's normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication, grooming, and any special care instructions. I treat every home with respect, keep food and water areas clean, maintain litter boxes as needed, and make sure pets have a safe and comfortable environment while their owners are away. I'm experienced with shy and nervous cats, reactive dogs, dogs with high prey drives, senior pets, and animals with medical conditions or special needs. I take the time to understand each pet's individual triggers and requirements, respect their boundaries, and never force interactions. I prioritize safe handling, appropriate supervision, and following the owner's instructions carefully, especially when it comes to medications, medical needs, and interactions with other animals. As a lifelong pet owner, I understand how much trust it takes to leave your beloved companion in someone else's care. I communicate with owners, provide updates when appropriate, and promptly share any concerns or changes in their pet's behavior or well being. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, respected, and loved while giving their owner peace of mind. I treat every animal with the same patience, compassion, and attention I would want someone to give my own pets.

About: I understand the importance of trusting someone to care for your "kids". I grew up with a household of furry friends! Many people thought my family was crazy for having so many pets! But I couldn't imagine my life without them. They bring so much joy and happiness to my family's life. Seeing their little faces everyday just puts a smile on my face! Pet care is an integral part of my daily and weekly routine. I offer flexible hours and can adjust my schedule to accommodate the needs of the pets I care for. Whether it’s weekdays, weekends, or holidays, I’m dedicated to providing consistent and loving care. My focus is on ensuring each pet feels safe, happy, and well-cared for throughout the day:)! In both my home and my clients’ homes, safety and trust are my top priorities. I provide a pet-friendly, secure environment where pets can relax and feel at home.

I maintain a clean, organized space, and I’m always attentive to the pets’ needs, from regular feeding and exercise to plenty of love and attention:)
