Personalized care for your dog or cat - Grove

“Prin is the best! She provided me with daily reports of how my pup was doing. I thoroughly appreciated her attentiveness, kindness, and compassion as this was my first time leaving my puppy with a sitter overnight.”

Charnele L.

“Myah was wonderful! She and her family were incredibly kind and welcoming, and I felt completely at ease leaving my dog in their care. She sent updates and photos every day, which I really appreciated while I was away. My dog seemed happy and well cared for. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy sitter.”

“Camilla was the best Rover we have had! I truly felt like our dog Timu was on vacation while we were! She was so attentive to Timu with walks and adventures and she kept me updated with photos and updates every step of the way. If we leave town again or need a day stay I would absolutely use Camilla again. Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve been a lifelong dog lover and have always had dogs as part of my life. My beloved Yorkie was my companion for 15 wonderful years, and we spent countless days walking along the beach, soaking up the sunshine, and enjoying the outdoors together. I live in a rural Mendocino coastal community but frequently travel along Highway 101, so I’m often available to help care for pets throughout nearby towns. I treat every pet like family and believe they deserve plenty of love, attention, and fresh air. Whether it’s a relaxing walk, playtime outside, or quiet cuddle time, I’m happy to match your pet’s energy and routine. I’m also comfortable following feeding instructions, preparing meals, and maintaining moderate medication schedules when needed. You can expect regular updates, photos, and videos so you always know your fur baby is happy and well cared for. Skills include: • Dog walking and outdoor playtime • Lots of love, snuggles, and positive attention • Feeding and food preparation • Puppy talk and companionship • Following care instructions and moderate medication schedules Your pet will be treated with kindness, patience, and the same love I gave my own dog for 15 years. Meow spoken here, too. I’m a self-employed artist and also run a small nonprofit from home, so my schedule is flexible and allows me to spend plenty of time caring for pets. I often take on freelance and side projects, but much of my work revolves around painting coastal landscapes like the ocean, rivers, lakes, fog, mountains, and bridges, which means I spend a lot of time outdoors. I live on a rural property with plenty of space for dogs to explore, sniff around, and enjoy fresh air. Pets in my care can expect lots of attention, outdoor time, and relaxed companionship throughout the day. I’m typically available for boarding most weekdays and weekends, and I’m happy to accommodate special holidays or extended stays when planned in advance. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. Because I live in a rural coastal area, pets are kept on leash while outside unless an owner specifically approves off-leash time. This helps prevent chasing local wildlife like deer or skunks during walks. My property offers a calm environment with plenty of fresh air and space to relax. There is a fenced garden area and a sunny balcony that’s perfect for supervised sunbathing and lounging. I also enjoy taking dogs to nearby beaches, including a few off-leash dog beaches if that’s something you’re comfortable with. Inside the home, pets receive lots of attention, companionship, and a relaxed atmosphere. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routines, including feeding schedules, outdoor time, and medication instructions if needed. If your pet uses a crate or playpen, I’m happy to accommodate that if you provide their setup. There are currently no other animals on the property, which can be ideal for pets that prefer a quieter environment.

About: I have had dogs all my life. Never had a dog not like me. The property is fully fenced 6 acres for your pups to run and play on! I have a very open schedule currently. I have plenty of time to play with, and care for guest pups. My schedule is picking up and dropping of kids:) We have a huge 6 acre fenced yard. Our dog is a big, sweet, female. She gets along with most dogs. And will be a great playmate!

“Caitlin was timely with responses and check ins, we will definitely have Caitlin watch our cats again in the future!”

Abbey C.

“Michele responded quickly to my initial request. She came to my house to meet the cats and talk to me, which made me feel comfortable that they would be well taken care of. She sent me frequent pictures and videos, showing the cats playing and having a good time. I suspect they enjoyed their time with her more than the day to day they spend with me. She even informed me that one of my cats likes to participate in yoga. After 9 years, this was new information. When I came home the house was clean and cats were happy. I would highly recommend Michele.Hopefully she is available the next time I go out of town.”

About: I have owned and cared for animals my entire life. I have experience with dogs, cats, bunnies and some livestock animals. Dogs are my favorite and I have had the most experience owning and caring for them. I’m experienced with all different kinds of breeds, temperament and age dogs. I always care for them like I would my own animals (spoiled! Lol). I am currently not accepting animals in my home but am happy to do drop ins, walks and house sitting. I work from home and have a lot of flexibility with my schedule. I am almost always home and pay attention to cues that dogs need attention or to the go outside. I have one dog who is treated like a family and spoiled like a prince. Animals are allowed on the couch and to sleep in bed if you desire. There is always plenty of fresh water, treats, toys and room to play.

“Anuhea had a great day at Alanna's place. Got to play with other dogs and get special one on one time with Alanna. I will use her again if I am ever in the area again.”

Christine R.

“Olive was very comfortable with Caitlin. This was her first experience with daycare outside of our own home in years. Caitlin has a large beautiful fenced yard and Olive was able to do her favorite thing…play ball… with Caitlin while we were off on our whale watching trip. Highly recommend Caitlin.”

Kate N.

“Prin and Max are such sweet and caring people! Chelsea stayed with them for the day until after dinnertime while we celebrated my birthday. She was calm and happy when we picked her up. Chelsea has separation anxiety and is an older chihuahua so we don't generally leave her alone. It is really great to find some kind & caring local people to take care of her when we can't be with her. Highly recommend them & so glad to have them on our team! We will definitely be using them again.”

Cynthia S.

“Great stay with Barbara and her two kids. They were loving and kind and took great care of Romeo while I was at work each day. Thanks for the awesome week.”

Tammy R.

“We were so grateful to have Alexis available to watch our dogs while we were visiting from out of town. She is incredibly flexible and our dogs clearly liked her. Would absolutely use her services again!”

About: I have experience with cats, dogs, chicken, etc! I grew up doing a ton of pet and house sitting all over Ukiah and Redwood Valley Growing up. Big and small animals alike! I am currently working part time as a substitute teacher so I have lots availability for both long and short term pet sitting opportunities now that summer is coming up I love taking pets on walks, playing with them, taking them to the park etc if allowed.

About: I am an animal lover...have had pets my whole life. I currently live with one cat. I will take good care of your babies and they will have fun. I can do short & multiple daily visits closer to my home, longer ones/overnights farther away, or they can stay with me. Discounts for longer housesitting stays. Further away areas may require covering transportation costs. I currently work part time, so I have lots of time to spend with your pet. Play time and cuddle time are essential. Let me know what activities your pet enjoys. I will be directly with your pet most of the time. Depending on what you request, our activities will vary. Will do my best to stick to your pets' schedule and routine. I will stick to pet routines as close as possible. Dog will be involved in my routine as well. If I go to the office, and its appropriate, they can come with me. We will spend as much time outside as we can. Lots of walks. May come to work with me if appropriate. We will take lots of pictures.

“Ulysses lived his walk. Thank you!!”
