About: I have taken care of dogs most of my life, whether it's my own pet or pet sitting for neighbors. I have two dogs myself. Bosa who is a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and our big little rescue Kittle who is a Great Pyrenees. I have been blessed to have so many amazing people, and of course dogs, that I can now make dog walking/sitting my full time job. I am a trustworthy hard worker who follows instructions to the letter. I am physically active and can keep up with the most excitable of dogs.
“Lauren and her husband were great! Bailey was a little shy at first, but she got more comfortable and had a blast! They were flexible, sent pictures and updates, and took great care of Bailey!”
“Very happy with Jennifer looking after our dog. She took great photos of him and sent us updates of his stay. We just picked him up and he's one happy and very tired dog! We will definitely have her look after him again. Highly recommend!”
“Brandi was great! I felt my dogs were so well taken care of that I didn't worry one bit while I was gone. She posted pictures and sent updates throughout their stay. I would definitely have Freckles and Roxy stay with Brandi again in the future!”
“Caren was great! My dog seemed very happy there and she seemed to take great care of her. Her house is in a nice neighborhood and my dog’s age got a lot of good walks and visits to the dog park, etc. Would definitely recommend Caren!”
“Our dog had a great time Thank you so much!!!!! Bernadette mad us feel very comfortable Thank you for the great pictures that you send us during our trip so we can see Maybe Thank you”
“We found Marti wonderful and plan to use her for an upcoming trip. Her dog Lou got along great with our dog. Marti kept us informed how things were going. Even sharing cute stories about what our dog was doing. I appreciated her text and photos. I would highly recommend her as she is very knowledgeable of how it takes times for dog to adjust to new environment. She spent quality time with our dog which shows when we dropped her off and when we came to pick her up, she didn't want to leave.”
“Lexi and her family treated our dog as their own, and they truly understand what it means to care for a dog. There was never a worry that Moose wouldn’t get adequate stimulation with the many walks and backyard time spent with this family. The most noticeable difference between Lexi and other sitters was Moose’s energy when we picked him up. He wasn’t full of anxious energy and he seemed like our normal pup. This gives us the peace of mind and then some for any future stays he has with this household.”
“Angela took absolutely fabulous care of River while I was away! From chicken dinners, trips to the dog park for fetch, and even adventures downtown for pup cups. River was a happy dog and loved every minute with her. I would absolutely trust Angela again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing Rover sitter!”
“My dog Beau had a great time staying with Jill. She is very warm and loving and took great care of my beloved fur baby. I loved receiving photos during his stay and they have a super safe setup. I could tell Beau was super happy being there which means a lot when you’re away. Would definitely book again!”
“Amelia looked after our pup, Luna, for over a week and we will absolutely be booking with her again. She sent pictures throughout the stay and Luna was having the time of her life. She seemed so happy and at ease with Amelia and it felt so nice not to worry at all while we were away.”
“Hannah was an amazing sitter! I would recommend her a million times. We were traveling and had a kennel back out on us last minute, which left us in a rough spot, and Hannah was able to help us last minute and was so flexible and understanding. She was so sweet and patient with Mark, spent lots of time with him, and gave us plenty of pictures, videos, and updates. He had the best time. When we picked him up he was happy, healthy, and exhausted from all the playing and fun! She also fed him extra food when his ran out and kept track of and returned all the toys we sent with him. She has a beautiful and safe property that he loved playing on. I would absolutely book with her again in the future!”
“Couldn’t be happier with our experience with Marina. She was very kind and accommodating. She took great care of Finn and took him for walks. It was so nice to get pictures and videos. It was easy to communicate.”
“I booked with Earl super last minute so I really appreciated him getting back to me and watching Norma. She stayed for one night and seemed very relaxed when I got her back which I thought was awesome. Earl sent me some photos of her during her stay to keep me updated. Will definitely book again :)”
“Shelia took such great care of Leif with a last minute booking. She sent photos so I knew he was happy and cozy. She even took time to brush him and play with toys, and recommended senior supplements she used for her dogs. Looking forward to boarding with her again in the next couple weeks!”
About: I had two dogs growing up and had to train them all on my own. I am not a professional trainer, but I am very patient and open to teaching your dog some new things. my work shifts are 7 days on and 14 days off. So I have a lot of free time to fill and have availability for longer stays. I live on a 5 acre property with three other homes next door. There is a fenced yard in the back and lots of free space to let your dog roam with my Nina.
“Excellent sitter! Our dog Bear did so well with her and her dog Rosie. Crystal works during the day, but always made sure to get home quickly to check on Bear-shw spoiled him! She was always communicative & sent pictures daily. We will call on her again!”
“This was my first time leaving our dogs with Alexis and she was very professional and responsive during our 5 day trip, which was especially appreciated because my little chihuahua Luna can be very feisty and reactive with larger dogs. Alexis took special care to introduce Luna slowly and she was able to hang with the pack.”

Cat caregivers near you - Bodega Bay
Prices are estimates per visit for 1 cat. Pricing may vary based on your search and includes a booking fee of 11%.
About: I’ve had cats my entire life and understand them well. My sweet kitty just passed away at 20 years old and I’d love to help take care of yours. I frequently travel for work for weeks on end, but when I am home and able to cat-sit, my schedule can be completely flexible. Day / night. Since I only offer cat-sitting, I doubt that this section about my own house will matter much. Cats don’t like to be relocated for temporary purposes.
“Amanda did a marvelous job caring for my two kitties, Sonoma and Teton. I arrived home to full water dishes, clean litter boxes, and content cats. I very much endorse her work. Thanks Amanda!”

As a student with an open and flexible schedule, I’m able to easily fit pet care into my daily routine. I have the time and availability to provide consistent, reliable care throughout the week. I make sure pets feel comfortable and safe, whether they're in my home or theirs. I follow their usual routines as closely as possible—feeding schedules, walk times, play, and any special instructions. I'm attentive to their behavior and needs, and I always keep the space clean, calm, and pet-friendly. My goal is to create a low-stress, positive environment while you're away.
“Angelina was great! I really can not think of one thing that I was not happy with. She kept me updated on my kitty and sent pictures. I came home to an immaculate home. She even did some light grocery shopping for my return home. Wow, I thought this was so thoughtful. Thank you, Angelina, for letting me enjoy my vacation knowing that I had left everything in good hands. 👏”
“Awesome service provided. I’d definitely rebook with Tamara, as she was always fast to respond, very professional, she did everything I asked and was just awesome to deal with! She took good care of my fur babies for the weekend. 10/10 would recommend:)”

About: I have cared for dogs since I was ten years old and I got my first puppy. After my college graduation I wanted another dog so bad but because of my travel for work I was always the one to just visit and baby sit my parents dogs for about the past 7 years. However, I'm changing careers now to be home more and have my very own puppy and luckily the chance to look after some other cute dogs as well! I live on a 7 acre property and have experience taking care of goats and chickens as well! I'm currently going back to school, mostly online so I have lots of time to drive to and play with your dog. On some days I do have to be at the SRJC in person but never for more than 4 hours at a time. I am an outdoorsy person and I love to go on long walks. I also have a SUV so if a walk in a park further away is desired I can easily transport them. I have a high energy puppy of my own that loves to play with other dogs big and small so he is always available to keep your dog company if they enjoy playing with others.
About: I specialize in care for senior kitties and/or ones need special attention through medications, subcutaneous fluids, etc. My last kitty lived to be 22 yrs old, I believe because of my care from specialized homeopathic remedies to chiropractic adjustments. My pets are family.
“Casey was very attentive and trustworthy. She gives great updates and goes above and beyond to make my kitty feel safe and for peace of mind not being home. She is awesome! Will call her again 😎😊”
“LoLo was great! My kitty was very well taken care of and given lots of love. I appreciated and enjoyed all the updates and pictures that she sent. Will definitely try to rebook with her again. 😊”
“This is our third time booking Betsy to take care of our kitty while we’re out of town. She always does such a wonderful job and sends pictures and lets us know how kitty is doing daily! Our precious little monster is not the friendliest cat to say the least and Betsy is so patient with her. Thanks Betsy!”
About: I've taken care of both dogs and cats for the past 15 years. I have experience caring for senior dogs and cats. I also have experience with horses. I am currently working Monday through Thursday. I am available Friday, Saturday and Sundays during the day. I may also have some evening availability depending on my schedule. At this time, I am unable to accept pets in my home. However, I am available to come to your house and take care of your pet.
About: I am an animal lover and treat my own pets like part of the family. I am very active and love to take dogs on walks and I will love taking yours! I know they live for their walks! I will throw balls for your dog and take them to the park if wanted. I treat every dog the same and love them all...BIG or small. I am open to cats as well! My house is calm and tranquil. There are no kids in my house. My husky mix recently passed away suddenly in October and I miss her so much... Her name was Lily and she lived for her 2x/day walks. That is part of why I am doing this as a part time job because I miss my dog and would love to be around animals more. Pick me to take care of your loved one! I do work full time and I am gone 8-5 unfortunately. So weekends would be best for me. I’d be willing to do weekdays but you would have to be comfortable with me being gone during the day. I would take them on 2-3 walks per day.. 1 in the morning before work and 1 as soon as I get home from work. Unfortunately I don’t have a yard, just a small deck. If it’s a cat, I would make sure they had care and attention when I am home.

“Angelina is absolutely wonderful as a person and dog sitter. Our Border Collie is very active and Angelina played fetch with Roy, fed him , walked him and took him to the beach for a swim. She is a very happy and fun woman. We will hire her again and again!!!”

“Holly was amazing! Very communicative. Asked all the questions someone who genuinely cares about your pets comfort and well being. Our little guy struggles with being left and she handled it like an absolute pro. 10/10!!!”
About: I love all animals, especially dogs. I'm a very active person so walking a lot is no issue for me. I enjoy hiking with dogs. I’ve worked in many dog shelters taking care of dogs of all different ages. I have also been a dog walker/sitter with rover and wag for about 6 years now. With me your puppers are in good hands :) I am working on a farm from 8-4 M-Th so weekends are more ideal. I like to take pups out first thing in the morning for a little stroll and on weekends I usually spend more time relaxing at home. I’m always checking in on them and giving them love whether that looks like playing with them or giving them a cuddle. I also check the water bowl multiple times a day to make sure they are hydrated. I try to have regular feeding times as well.
“Bernadette was wonderful with my rescue puppy Isabel!! It was her first time being left with someone, and I felt calm and confident knowing she was in Bernadette’s care. Bernadette clearly knows so much about animals and was very kind, understanding, and knowledgeable about Isabel’s communication and needs. I highly recommend Bernadette!!”
About: Walks through Armstrong Redwoods are a favorite activity. I have a large yard and a dog friendly house. I have a couple of years experience working in a veterinary clinic giving me experience medicating animals, including giving injections. I have a pool for dogs who love to swim! I was a volunteer and puppy raiser for Canine Companions for Independence back in the mid to late 1980's, and a Puppy Petter for Assistance Dog Institute in the early 2000's. I've also kept busy with boarding in my home for friends and acquaintances. I love dogs!! I have Sundays and Mondays off from my full time job, but I can fit in a nice walk after 4 pm most other days. When I have someone's dog, they get my full attention; we play, exercise, snuggle. My focus is providing an enriching experience for your dog .
“Veronica was fantastic! It literally looked like my pup was smiling in all of the update photos she sent me. She was so good about keeping in contact throughout the day. I’ll definitely reach out to her again in the future ?”
“Jeanne’s wonderful! She’s so lovely, calm, friendly, and warm. Jeanne’s home and garden are a paradise oasis of fun for humans and animals alike. Our dog loved her dogs, and they romped and played together. Jeanne also treated our pup to a walk through her beautiful, peaceful, safe neighborhood. We look forward to bringing our dog to visit Jeanne anytime.”
“Saved my butt when traveling through the region and needed a dog sitter for the day. My Jef was happy and comfortable, and I could tell he had affection for Heather when we left.”

About: I began my seriously joyous devotion to animals at the age of 11, as an SF ZOO volunteer in the barnyard, where I learned to care for a variety of animals, from miniature horses to coyotes to parrots, and more. I have continued to attract rescuing wayward beasts of all kinds, providing them with excellent love and care. I am a natural nurturer, the animals feel at home with me wherever we are. I have worked as a cat, dog and multi-pet sitter for many years, up until now, only through personal referrals. I am a kundalini yoga teacher, craniosacral and polarity therapist. My son is grown and I have a very flexible schedule. I love to get out with the dogs for long walks and if they don’t mind the car, we might get to the beach. I love nature, the outdoors and finding out how best to care for your animal so that they don’t miss you too much. I absolutely appreciate forming long term client relationships so that you and your animals can relax and have fun. I am self-employed and can accommodate your needs. When I am hired for a pet-sit, this is my focus and priority. I can schedule all my other work around it. I have a lovely minimalist home for your pet, a small garden and plenty of leashed walking in the woods space for regular exercise. If a dog is ok with car rides, I’m happy to take them to the beach.

“Natalie was a godsend! She stepped in over the busy holiday season to walk our beloved pet while we were away and when we found that our overnight sitter needed some extra support. So grateful for that! We found Natalie to be conscientious and in tune with what our dog needed and what we needed to know about our dog when we were away. Perfect amount of photos and updates! In addition, Natalie is fun and upbeat and clearly cares about the well being of animals. Even though it was one of the weeks of the year, Natalie took out our girl-dog faithfully. She was an excellent communicator with the other sitter, which really helped and made us feel like our dog was getting the best care she could have.”
About: I’ve taken care of all types of dogs for 30 years. I have two Pittbull mixes , one boxer Pitt and one Pitt bulldog. The Pitt Bull Dog has intervertebral disk disease and used my training in occupational therapy and massage and did physical therapy with him myself so he could use his back legs again, after being paralyzed and needing a wheelchair. He’s now able to walk without his wheelchair. I’ve also taken pittbull training classes with them and am knowledgeable about training cues. I currently work as a distribution sales executive, and work from home, so have free time in the afternoons and weekends. I have a baby and two dogs of my own and would still be able to take some time to visit other dogs in my area. I can check on pets during the day or while clients are on vacation . I can take them on walks, let them out in the yard, play fetch , feed them , snuggle them, and even give medicine.
“Kyle watched over my Labrador with a recent toe injury AND during a blistering 115 degree heat wave. While thousands of miles away I never worried with Kyle. He is incredibly dependable, easy going and flexible. You can’t go wrong with Kyle caring for your best friend.”
“Kaiel took my sweet but reactive pup out for a walk and fed her dinner while I was out of town. Kaiel was super responsive to all my messages, came over for a meet and great ahead of time, was really great with my pup, and sent lot of photos and a nice message after the walk. I highly recommend!”
About: My family has always had pets my whole life, including a dog for 14 years and 3 cats. I was always dealt the task of taking care of them so I am very familiar with pet sitting.

Other than the part time job I am free! I have a fenced yard with a lot of room to play, as well as a safe and comfortable neighborhood street for walks. I also have 2 very friendly cats that stay either outside or in my Mother’s room.

About: I have been taking care of animals more regularly over the last few years. Staying in peoples homes in order to ensure someone is there to take care of cats and dogs. Dog walking regularly, making sure they’re always fed and watered. Cleaning litter boxes, or cleaning up after dogs. I have a heart for animals and I love spending time with them and playing or cuddling. I am currently trying to build more of a regular income in taking care of pets. I am currently available almost all the time and I am willing to stay overnight at your home. I do not currently have a home that I can take pets into my home. I cannot currently take pets into my home, but I am regularly aware of where your pets are in the home or in the yard. I will always honor your wishes as to where we walk or where the animals are allowed to go. I regularly check on each animal in my care, learning their cues, and allowing them to dictate the level of our relationship.
About: I worked the wag app in Chicago for a 2 years, and loved it! Excited to be in an area where i can start dog walking again. I also grew up in a household with dogs as pets so im very comfortable around all sizes and breeds of dogs. I am a stay at home mom, i also nanny my nephew during the week. We have plenty of time to love your fur-babies! I have a fenced in space for the fur baby. I can accommodate your fur babies needs whether they prefer to roam the house or need a crate. I do not own a dog or will i double book so you can be sure of your fur babies safety.

“Lauren and her husband were great! Bailey was a little shy at first, but she got more comfortable and had a blast! They were flexible, sent pictures and updates, and took great care of Bailey!”
“Very happy with Jennifer looking after our dog. She took great photos of him and sent us updates of his stay. We just picked him up and he's one happy and very tired dog! We will definitely have her look after him again. Highly recommend!”
“Brandi was great! I felt my dogs were so well taken care of that I didn't worry one bit while I was gone. She posted pictures and sent updates throughout their stay. I would definitely have Freckles and Roxy stay with Brandi again in the future!”
“Caren was great! My dog seemed very happy there and she seemed to take great care of her. Her house is in a nice neighborhood and my dog’s age got a lot of good walks and visits to the dog park, etc. Would definitely recommend Caren!”
“We found Marti wonderful and plan to use her for an upcoming trip. Her dog Lou got along great with our dog. Marti kept us informed how things were going. Even sharing cute stories about what our dog was doing. I appreciated her text and photos. I would highly recommend her as she is very knowledgeable of how it takes times for dog to adjust to new environment. She spent quality time with our dog which shows when we dropped her off and when we came to pick her up, she didn't want to leave.”
“Lexi and her family treated our dog as their own, and they truly understand what it means to care for a dog. There was never a worry that Moose wouldn’t get adequate stimulation with the many walks and backyard time spent with this family. The most noticeable difference between Lexi and other sitters was Moose’s energy when we picked him up. He wasn’t full of anxious energy and he seemed like our normal pup. This gives us the peace of mind and then some for any future stays he has with this household.”
“Angela took absolutely fabulous care of River while I was away! From chicken dinners, trips to the dog park for fetch, and even adventures downtown for pup cups. River was a happy dog and loved every minute with her. I would absolutely trust Angela again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing Rover sitter!”
“Amelia looked after our pup, Luna, for over a week and we will absolutely be booking with her again. She sent pictures throughout the stay and Luna was having the time of her life. She seemed so happy and at ease with Amelia and it felt so nice not to worry at all while we were away.”
“Hannah was an amazing sitter! I would recommend her a million times. We were traveling and had a kennel back out on us last minute, which left us in a rough spot, and Hannah was able to help us last minute and was so flexible and understanding. She was so sweet and patient with Mark, spent lots of time with him, and gave us plenty of pictures, videos, and updates. He had the best time. When we picked him up he was happy, healthy, and exhausted from all the playing and fun! She also fed him extra food when his ran out and kept track of and returned all the toys we sent with him. She has a beautiful and safe property that he loved playing on. I would absolutely book with her again in the future!”
“Couldn’t be happier with our experience with Marina. She was very kind and accommodating. She took great care of Finn and took him for walks. It was so nice to get pictures and videos. It was easy to communicate.”
“I booked with Earl super last minute so I really appreciated him getting back to me and watching Norma. She stayed for one night and seemed very relaxed when I got her back which I thought was awesome. Earl sent me some photos of her during her stay to keep me updated. Will definitely book again :)”
“Shelia took such great care of Leif with a last minute booking. She sent photos so I knew he was happy and cozy. She even took time to brush him and play with toys, and recommended senior supplements she used for her dogs. Looking forward to boarding with her again in the next couple weeks!”
“Excellent sitter! Our dog Bear did so well with her and her dog Rosie. Crystal works during the day, but always made sure to get home quickly to check on Bear-shw spoiled him! She was always communicative & sent pictures daily. We will call on her again!”
“This was my first time leaving our dogs with Alexis and she was very professional and responsive during our 5 day trip, which was especially appreciated because my little chihuahua Luna can be very feisty and reactive with larger dogs. Alexis took special care to introduce Luna slowly and she was able to hang with the pack.”
“Susan was an amazing caretaker for Ryder this past weekend! She took him on several fun walks and made it feel like a little vacation for him. We loved receiving her updates and adorable photos throughout his stay. Ryder was clearly very well cared for, and we would absolutely love to have Susan help with him again in the future.”
“Melissa was so thoughtful and kind to both Daisy and I. It was our first time leaving Daisy since we adopted her. Melissa took the time to let us visit her home for a meet-and -greet and sniffs of her property a few days before Daisy’s stay. Melissa was so thoughtful and attentive to Daisy’s needs. I have no doubt that Daisy is in good hands with Melissa .”
“David was very easy to work with and responded quickly to our questions/ concerns. Our dogs had access to a few enclosed acres on the property which was great for the dogs...a beautiful setting as well. Our 3 dogs got along well with David's dogs and another visiting dog. Most important, I felt our dogs were in good hands with David.”
About: I began my seriously joyous devotion to animals at the age of 11, as an SF ZOO volunteer in the barnyard, where I learned to care for a variety of animals, from miniature horses to coyotes to parrots, and more. I have continued to attract rescuing wayward beasts of all kinds, providing them with excellent love and care. I am a natural nurturer, the animals feel at home with me wherever we are. I have worked as a cat, dog and multi-pet sitter for many years, up until now, only through personal referrals. I am a kundalini yoga teacher, craniosacral and polarity therapist. My son is grown and I have a very flexible schedule. I love to get out with the dogs for long walks and if they don’t mind the car, we might get to the beach. I love nature, the outdoors and finding out how best to care for your animal so that they don’t miss you too much. I absolutely appreciate forming long term client relationships so that you and your animals can relax and have fun. I am self-employed and can accommodate your needs. When I am hired for a pet-sit, this is my focus and priority. I can schedule all my other work around it. I have a lovely minimalist home for your pet, a small garden and plenty of leashed walking in the woods space for regular exercise. If a dog is ok with car rides, I’m happy to take them to the beach.
About: I will spoil your dog with attention and provide you with complete peace of mind. You can rest assured that your dog is safe and happy and getting the care you specify (such as health needs or special diet) and the love your dog wants (games, walks, toys, treats, hugs, and other canine amusements). My work is part-time, online, and at my own pace, so I can easily shift my attention to your dog's needs for walks and playtime. I have a small fenced yard with artificial grass, and there is a large park at the end of the street, two or three small parks in the neighborhood, and a 2-mile trail to downtown. I have whatever a dog needs but ideally, pets should arrive with their own favorite "furniture," toys, and treats.
