Dog Walking Summerhome Park

“Jamie is really great! A dog whisperer. Our reactive dog warms up to her right away. She was able to hold his leash and pet him on first meeting. Awesome! Our dog will definitely continue having walks with her. She’s going to be his new walking person for sure.”

“Melissa is incredible. I don't trust many people with taking my guy Townes out - he's a big goofball. I trust Melissa. So happy we found her!”

Stefan J.

Mr M.

“Melissa is amazing; she is punctual, communicative, friendly, and my pets adore her! I am never worried when I leave my pets in her care; I know they are well taken care of and that means the world to me. I can’t recommend her enough!”

About: Fully vaccinated even have a booster shot and work at Paradise Pet Resort as a Dog Play supervisor. Have been petsitting since I was a kid and have volunteered many times at Sonoma County Animal Shelter and even worked at Sonoma Humane Society. Currently have a beagle and 2 cats. Through petsitting and volunteering I also learned to give meds including insulin and learned to care for all different size dogs and cats from small to large. My favorite part is getting to know your pets and spending time with them. I have experience with dogs, cats, reptiles, birds, fish and even small mammals such as hamsters and guinea pigs. Even have watched some chickens before. Have an AA in Natural Science and working towards another AA in Natural resources then I get into internships from there. Work at a pet resort. Typically take care of them In the morning and try to come somewhere in the middle of the day to check on them and feed them at night. I check in on them 2-3 times a day and if needed I can stay with them at night. Will walk them at least 30 mins or more 2x a day unless asked other wise cats I will try to spend time with them unless they don’t come won’t chase them. Will clean up after them make sure they have necessities and play with them.

“Amanda takes great care with our older, tripod Bella. Bells is always happy to see her even if she doesn't feel like walking that day. We appreciate that Amanda lets us know things that she notices so we can compare with actions we are also seeing with Bella.”

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.

“From the moment we met Peter, we immediately felt at ease. He has a calm, confident energy and quickly tuned in to our boys’ personalities and temperament. Peter asked thoughtful questions and paid attention to the details to make sure he could provide the best care possible. We felt completely comfortable leaving our dogs with him and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”

“Kyle really helped us out this week! He was always on time and our dog really liked going on walks with him. When our dog got home he was just as happy as can be. Thank you Kyle”

About: "You're in Great Hands", is what I often tell a new client, as a Massage Therapist. I prefer the company of animals and especially dogs, to people,, so this is what I 'd like to do in addition to the above. New to Rover, (8/13/2026) not new, to caring greatly, for animals, including my own. Your dog(s), or cats will be in great, loving hands!. I know from having Papi, what a huge responsibility it is to keep him safe, while trying to have a ball with him. I offer you, the same above understanding and assurance. From looking at others profiles, the rates seem super complicated. With this added on rate and that. I'd like to keep it a little less complicated. I'm not interested in charging for a second dog, or more for a puppy. I'm not drawn to the idea of staying in someone else's house, but would be happy to /prefer checking in on your pet family, rather than spending the night. Please give me a little time to figure out how to fix rates on here better. I've been trying to get rid of the additional rates listed on my profile. For now though, I'm available to check in on your pets and/or take them for walks. Guerneville, Monte Rio, Forestville. I believe I offer a premium service, where I can focus on a few, rather than quantity. The above will absolutely keep your pet safer, happier and free of injury from other dogs and an environment where the walker is juggling way too many dogs, personalities and what ifs? at once. I cook for My dog Papi. ***If you'd like me to do the same for your pet, am happy to.*** I already spend all of my free time taking care of my dog Papi. I'd like the opportunity to devote my time and love to your loved one(s) as well. Most of my free time outside of being a Massage Therapist, is happily spent taking my dog with another dog buddy when possible, to parks, walks, hikes, dog friendly beaches, adventures. Please let me know your very specific needs and hopes for our time together and I absolutely will do my best, to fulfill those. ***I WILL NOT take your loved pet, to a dog park where there are other dogs in an enclosed dog park. it is absolutely the easiest way, at some point, or another, for your loved one to be seriously injured by another dog, who is aggressive and/or in a mood.***

“We had our first drop in and walking visit with Michelle and nothing but high praise and tail wags for her services. She a wonderful communicator and clearly in great command in being able to entertain and walk our two our two fur babies. 2 dogs, higher costs- but piece of mind in knowing that an experienced caring person will be here. We look forward to seeing her again for walks, drops in and some future planned over night house visits. Eileen F”
