“Virginia took the best care of our almost one year old Lab/pitbull puppy. She sent pics & videos & I can tell he was spoiled during his doggy vacation. Highly recommend for quality care and flexibility with drop off/pick up.”
About: Hi, I'm Tommy, my family and recently moved to Clearlake from Santa Rosa. I work nights and am home during the days, but my wife is here when I'm not and can help out if needed. We are all animal lovers here and enjoy having dogs. Unfortunately our own doggies have passed away recently. We aren't looking to get our own again just yet but would love to watch yours for a bit. :) I usually work from 10:00 p.m. until 6:00 a.m. so I get home around 6:30 at which point I will let the dogs out for some yard time. My wife and son will be up around 7:00 and I know my son will be excited to go for a walk. My wife will be the caregiver until I wake up around 1:00 p.m. so one of us will be around at all times. We have a fenced fully fenced in yard and no other animals on the property, and there will always be someone here to take care of your pet.
“Diego was fabulous with my shy, sweet Mona dog. I would bring her back again for another Harbin hotsprings visit. He lives super close! I appreciated all his thoughtful questions and prompt communications.”
“Tim was GREAT with my puppy Frankie!!! He sent me pictures and gave regular updates on how he was doing. Tim has a great gated front yard for the dogs to play without worry about traffic or other animals. He was patient and answered questions even before I finalized the booking!! Tim has extensive knowledge of dogs as he also trains them. Thank you very much Tim for making my night a stress free one knowing my puppy was in good hands!!! Rhonda”
“Our girls had the best time with Brandi over the holidays. It was wonderful seeing photos of them looking so happy and relaxed. We’ll definitely bring them back for some doggie daycare or any time we are out of town.”
“We’ve used Angela twice now to watch Winnie, and she’s been great every time. She’s reliable, flexible, and communicative, but most importantly, she is so kind to Winnie. The extra outings and adventures she takes her on are such a nice touch. Highly recommended!”
“Excellent experience with Michael. He was very responsive before and during our pup's stay. They took good care of our dog and I would definitely book with them again. Highly recommend.”
“Karen was amazing!! It was a short notice and she welcomed Rascal with open arms. I had a fear of leaving g him with someone as he's a bit of a nipper. But Karen and Rascal got along from the beginning. She helped him out and trained him as well as made him feel comfy and at home. Will for sure work with Karen again on my next need to house Rascal. Thanks Karen!!!”
“Lauren and her family were great! She segregated our puppy to ensure her safety provided updates and pictures throughout our puppy’s stay. Would definitely recommend Lauren and I look forward to the next time we’re in the area!”
About: I provide individualized care for every dog, whether it’s playful energy for puppies or gentle attention for seniors. I’m experienced with training basics, medication administration, and building trust with anxious dogs. My goal is to keep every pup happy, comfortable, and cared for as if they were my own. I plan my days around pet visits and walks, ensuring consistent feeding times, exercise, and companionship. Pet care is an important, dedicated part of my weekly schedule. Whether in my home or yours, I create a calm, loving environment where pets feel safe and cared for. I stick to their routines, provide exercise, and keep communication open with updates and photos.
About: From dogs and cats to squirrels, chickens, pigs, goats, kittens, hybrid wolves, tortoises, snakes, and birds, I have cared for many wonderful baby and adult animals. I currently work part time and am fairly flexible. Weekends are usually open. I can come to your house during the week in the morning and-or after 2pm. Geyserville, Healdsburg, Cloverdale. At my house, I have a fenced yard. My pets are easygoing and used to visiting friendly dogs and cats. I also have a kennel that can be used for small dogs or kittens.
“Mandi was super friendly and flexible with our schedule. She posted cute pictures of our dogs on walks throughout their stay and her property is very pet friendly. Our dogs seemed very happy when we picked them up. I will leave our dogs with her in the future when visiting Calistoga or a town nearby.”
“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.”
About: I have always had a love of all animals from small to big. I love to be around dogs and play as much as I can. While in my care, I will take the dogs for an active walk and then let them run around the dog park for an hour. Sometimes longer if they are having a lot of fun. It's a solo walk right now but I have walked two at a time in the past. There are other times where I will just take them to the park and run them around and then walk back home. While in the home they will be showered in love and fun play time. Followed by more love and any snacks that you leave for your furry kids.
“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 :)”
“I was confident in Crystal’s care of Macy after our meet and greet. Good communication and seemed knowledgeable and skilled in caring for dogs. My dog has anxiety and Crystal did a good job managing that and adapting care as needed.”
“Catherine saved us with a last minute request to care for our dog. We were on vacation and our previously booked Rover reservation had to cancel last minute. Catherine was caring and a great communicator. We will definitely use her again!”
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.
“Michelle is wonderful! Even though our dog is nervous in new situations, she made Callie feel welcomed and safe right away. Michelle was a great communicator before and during the stay. I won’t hesitate to book with Michelle again!!”

About: Hi, I’m Karina. I’m fun, energetic and love to cuddle just like your pup! I’ve grown up around all sorts of animals, but by far my favorite were all the dogs we owned. I’ve had small cuddly dogs like maltipoos and little terrier mixes to large golden retrievers and springer spaniel border collie mixes. For the last 3 years I worked full-time with Bonehemian Wags, the premium dog care company based in Sebastopol. I specialized in pack walking, training and socialization, so there’s no need to worry that your beloved family member is in the right hands! I love to adventure and take my own two dogs out on long hikes or to the beach. My younger dog is a German short-haired pointer. If you don't know of the breed, they are full of energy...CONSTANTLY. You can be sure if your pup comes to stay with us, they will leave tired. Whether we go on a hike, take them into town with us for some socialization or explore our property here, they will not be bored. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions/concerns. I am already engaging and exercising our own dogs daily, so having yours tag along only adds to the fun. I have my two large dogs who are very friendly and obedient, so no bad behaviors will be passed on here. Our older dog tends to keep to himself but our younger gsp loves to make new friends and has yet to fail to convince another pup they won't have a good time playing together. Although my dogs are off leash most of the time, they are well trained in leash walking as well, which is a great way to introduce your dog to mine. We love to have fun and be silly around here, but above all like to keep our dogs safe. After all they are family! I’m currently spending my days working with dogs as much as I can. From walking to boarding, training and almost anything in between. Dogs are always on the schedule! I have a spacious fenced in yard and plenty of space in doors, as well as crates if your pup needs some space to themselves.
About: I’ve taken early retirement and have a lot of time in my hands. I have been pet sitting for a client with four dogs, a chihuahua , two frenchies and occasionally a German shepherd in their home. I cook their food, and I am a great housecleaner so your space will be nice when you come back home. I will take loving care of your cat or dog, only one pet at a time unless they are from the same household. I do not have any pets of my own at this time, which allows me flexibility in my schedule to be able to pet sit. I look forward to taking care of your fur baby. I took early retirement, so I will be home with the pet all day and night for whatever is needed. I have experience with senior dogs and frenchies. I am clean and considerate and love to spend time with animals. Your pet will receive personal attention and care with affection. I look forward to taking care of your pets.
About: I've taken care of horses, bunnies, dogs, cats and rats. I have pet sited for about 3 years. My family and friends have asked me multiple times to take care of their pets. Im currently working at part time job. I love working with animals its my passion. I have 3 horses, 4 goats, 4 dogs and 1 cat. I am pretty much available all the time unless i have my son, but the animals are ok with kids i will bring him I have a fenced in yard and I walk them everyday. I play fetch if they want to play fetch. I work with what the animal needs.
“Jacqueline was absolutely wonderful! She was incredibly responsive and timely, and she spent real quality time with my cats — you could tell she genuinely cared. The photos and updates she sent truly made my day while I was away. I cannot recommend her enough! I felt completely at ease knowing they were in such great hands.”
About: Caring for cats has always been a joy for me. I’ve spent years looking after them at home and have come to truly appreciate their unique personalities. Cats may be known for their independence, but they also have a deep need for affection and companionship—on their own terms, of course! I understand how to respect a cat's space while also recognizing those sweet moments when they want to cuddle, play, or simply sit nearby. From keeping their litter box clean to making sure they’re eating well and feeling secure, I provide the calm, attentive care that helps cats feel at ease in their own environment. Whether your kitty is shy or a total lap cat, I’ll make sure they feel loved and cared for while you’re away.
“Christine is the best!!! I found her to be exactly the person I was hoping for as she is smart, kind, gentle, and knowledgeable. What a treasure. I had no worries at all. She is my person for future needs with my poodles.”
“Siarra took the best care of our cat, Marbles, while we were away for the holiday! She is super communicative and spent time and played with Marbs, and we got the sweetest picture updates of our baby who looked so happy to get visits and love! Thanks, Siarra!!!! We appreciate how thoughtful and loving you were to our kitten while we were away!!!”
About: My first pet at the age of 5 was a cat, my best friend, Lenard. Followed by Lizzy and another from her first litter named Chaos! I have a soft spot for senior cats. I'll happily provide whatever care they need, sitting and feeding by hand, cleaning the spots they just can't manage or simply letting them take a nap on my chest.
About: I’ve been taking care of my own cat Sophie, for about 2 years now. I treat her like a princess and clean up after her every day. She’s become so healthy over the years, she was the runt of a litter so I had to put a lot of more time into her.
About: I love pets and being in nature enhances my love to take care of pets and always more room for more walk or runs which sets up a great times I’m working full time although I work hybrid, two to three days in the office, and will love to pet sit Wednesday, Friday Saturday or Sunday! I have taken care of lots of pets friends and colleagues pets while out for trips and will make sure to communicate which will help being able to cater towards your pet even better

About: Hello I’m a dedicated, honest, and reliable pet sitter/walker. I have loved animals my whole life, my family has always had multiple dogs at a time. I was 16 when I started working at a doggy day care (called stay and play dog care), where I got to work around no less than 15 dogs at a time and I absolutely loved it. I was in charge of walking, feeding, training, playing and occasionally staying the night with them. I have the ability to walk up to 8 dogs at one. I left that job for schooling to become a Certified Veterinary Assistant, I am currently working in the veterinary field but I would love to pet sit in my free time. I have crates and a fenced yard for any time dogs will have to be left alone but I try my best not to leave them while they are in my care. I will care for your pet like one of my own. I am currently home full time so I have all the time in the world to spend with your pets while they’re in my care! While your pets are in my home they will have lots of toys to play with as well as fresh water in several different locations. I do recommend that you bring the food your pet is used to as the less change the better for your animals stress levels.

About: I've taken care of horses, bunnies, dogs, cats and rats. I have pet sited for about 3 years. My family and friends have asked me multiple times to take care of their pets.

About: I've been caring for pets since I was 10 years old, and over the years, it's become second nature to me. I have hands-on experience with both small breed dogs and cats, and I understand their unique personalities and needs. Whether it’s playtime, feeding, or just some quiet cuddles, I know how to make them feel comfortable and safe. I’m also very attentive to pets’ bathroom cues and routines—an important part of keeping them healthy and happy. Currently, I have a pug and a labrador at home, so I’m very familiar with both the playful energy of larger dogs and the special care smaller breeds often require. Your furry friend will be in loving, experienced hands! As someone who works from home, I have the flexibility and time to give pets the attention and care they need throughout the day. Pet sitting fits perfectly into my routine—I’m able to provide regular check-ins, walks, playtime, and cuddle sessions without any rush. Because I’m home most of the time, your pets won’t be left alone for long stretches. I can easily adapt to their schedule, whether that means early morning feedings, midday walks, or keeping them company during the quieter parts of the day. My flexible work setup allows me to be present, responsive, and fully committed to your pet’s comfort and well-being. At my home, your pet will feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I have a fully fenced yard, which is perfect for dogs to run, play, and get their exercise in a secure space. Whether it’s a quick potty break or some time to burn off energy, they’ll have room to move around freely and safely. Inside, I have crates available for dogs who are crate-trained or just need a quiet, cozy space to relax. I always make sure pets feel at ease, whether they prefer lounging indoors, exploring the yard, or snuggling up for some one-on-one attention. Your pet will be treated like part of the family in a clean, calm, and pet-friendly environment.

“Laura is getting to know Yogee and also getting better at walking him. He is a energetic puppy and needs a good well paced walk. She is very patient with him which is lovely as he is slowly adapting to her. I hope to have her walk Yogee more in the future. She was very helpful and even started using the Rover cards. She is a really nice person.”
About: I’ve been taking care of my families puppy and my own kitten for about 2 years now ! Ive taken care of other peoples dogs in the past as well! I’m efficient and competent. Im currently a college student, so I spend most of my time at home and just in general I’m a home body. So, I have enough time to care and tend to pets and their needs. I’m very attentive to my own cat and families dog. They both have feeding schedules and are potty trained. I’ve taken my time to make them good pets. I’ve showed the same amount of attention and affection to other peoples pets as well.
About: I love pets and being in nature enhances my love to take care of pets and always more room for more walk or runs which sets up a great times I’m working full time although I work hybrid, two to three days in the office, and will love to pet sit Wednesday, Friday Saturday or Sunday! I have taken care of lots of pets friends and colleagues pets while out for trips and will make sure to communicate which will help being able to cater towards your pet even better
About: I am a kind, reliable, loving college student who loves spending time with furry friends. I have two dogs of my own and have had a few felines as well in my household. I have volunteered at animal shelters and shadowed veterinarian hospitals and I learned I rather spend time having fun with animals and taking care of them in a surrounding that is most comfortable for them. I am honest and value honesty and integrity as well as family. Our pets are a part of our family and I know from experience it can be hard leaving them home alone for a week or couple of hours. I am here to make that easier by relieving the stress of the unkown of what is happening with your pet at home by being with them and taking excellent care of them. I am available week days and weekend to sit, walk or visit your furry friends from 6am-8pm which give me plenty of time to play and make sure your pets are taken care of. While taking care of your furry friends I make sure that they are safe and follow any instructions left by you to keep them happy and safe.
About: I’ve taken care of pets varying all sizes, puppies kittens and more. I am very easy going and I can watch pets for hours to days depending on preferences. I’m a great communicator and will send photos of pets if asked for ;) I do not have a job right now so my priority is pet care currently. So I will put your pets first and I have a very flexible schedule. I follow all rules specifically and I understand everyone’s privacy and preferences. If there are specific rules or guidelines to follow I will respect them.
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.
About: My love for animals grew when I got my dog moe (the chihuahua in my photos) he is my bestfriend and he is the cutest dog ever! I love spending time with your pets and especially taking tons of photos to send to you. I like to give updates to you throughout the day so you know your bestfriend is safe with me! I do online school at the Junior College so I would be at your house for most of the time giving all the scratches and love to your pet ☺️ I am free throughout the week and can normally fit around anyones schedule. If things come up in the future they will be updated that week on my calendar if I become booked Whenever I leave to go run an errand I always check to make sure all the doors are locked. It is something I always do, even at my own home to make sure the pets are safe. I also like to take them out ever 2 hours just to be sure they are always relieved. If you ask for walks I always love doing them and getting some exercise for your dog and me!

“Tim was GREAT with my puppy Frankie!!! He sent me pictures and gave regular updates on how he was doing. Tim has a great gated front yard for the dogs to play without worry about traffic or other animals. He was patient and answered questions even before I finalized the booking!! Tim has extensive knowledge of dogs as he also trains them. Thank you very much Tim for making my night a stress free one knowing my puppy was in good hands!!! Rhonda”
“Our girls had the best time with Brandi over the holidays. It was wonderful seeing photos of them looking so happy and relaxed. We’ll definitely bring them back for some doggie daycare or any time we are out of town.”
“We’ve used Angela twice now to watch Winnie, and she’s been great every time. She’s reliable, flexible, and communicative, but most importantly, she is so kind to Winnie. The extra outings and adventures she takes her on are such a nice touch. Highly recommended!”
“Karen was amazing!! It was a short notice and she welcomed Rascal with open arms. I had a fear of leaving g him with someone as he's a bit of a nipper. But Karen and Rascal got along from the beginning. She helped him out and trained him as well as made him feel comfy and at home. Will for sure work with Karen again on my next need to house Rascal. Thanks Karen!!!”
“Lauren and her family were great! She segregated our puppy to ensure her safety provided updates and pictures throughout our puppy’s stay. Would definitely recommend Lauren and I look forward to the next time we’re in the area!”
About: From dogs and cats to squirrels, chickens, pigs, goats, kittens, hybrid wolves, tortoises, snakes, and birds, I have cared for many wonderful baby and adult animals. I currently work part time and am fairly flexible. Weekends are usually open. I can come to your house during the week in the morning and-or after 2pm. Geyserville, Healdsburg, Cloverdale. At my house, I have a fenced yard. My pets are easygoing and used to visiting friendly dogs and cats. I also have a kennel that can be used for small dogs or kittens.
“Mandi was super friendly and flexible with our schedule. She posted cute pictures of our dogs on walks throughout their stay and her property is very pet friendly. Our dogs seemed very happy when we picked them up. I will leave our dogs with her in the future when visiting Calistoga or a town nearby.”
“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.”
About: I have always had a love of all animals from small to big. I love to be around dogs and play as much as I can. While in my care, I will take the dogs for an active walk and then let them run around the dog park for an hour. Sometimes longer if they are having a lot of fun. It's a solo walk right now but I have walked two at a time in the past. There are other times where I will just take them to the park and run them around and then walk back home. While in the home they will be showered in love and fun play time. Followed by more love and any snacks that you leave for your furry kids.
“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 :)”
“I was confident in Crystal’s care of Macy after our meet and greet. Good communication and seemed knowledgeable and skilled in caring for dogs. My dog has anxiety and Crystal did a good job managing that and adapting care as needed.”
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.
About: Hey, I’m Chappy! Christopher is my legal name… I specialize in walking / caring for large dogs and working breeds, but am happy to work with all breeds and sizes. I have worked with high-energy, reactive, less than sociable dogs too, giving them the physical and metal fulfillment they need. I personally have two larger dogs, Count (German Shepherd Husky mix, 110lbs) and Bentley (German Shepherd Dutch Shepherd mix, 80lbs). I’ve also worked with a range of breeds from pugs to golden retrievers to Alsatian shepherds to American bull dogs. I’m a freelance, work from home marketer, so I’m pretty much always at home and available to take care of dogs, or am able to come to you and take your pup out. We live on roughly 8 acres in Sonoma County, so there is plenty of room at our home for dogs to run and explore. I have two friendly German Shepherd mix dogs that love having friends over. We also have a secure deck that the dogs loving sunbathing on and watching the world go by. I can crate your dog, if need be (we have a crate / room for crates), along with the ability to keep dogs separate if need be. Should your dog use a e-collar of any sort, I’m trained in properly using them, as both of my dogs are trained to them. If your dog loves to hike, we regularly go for hikes on the trails around Sonoma County, or to Dillon Beach to run around off leash.
“I was warried leaving my shy dog but Lynette's experience was so valuable. She shared how Moorea felt comfortable after we left text and sent photos throughout the day. She knew exactly what to do with a shy dog and this saves so much time. It was a great experience and will be booking our vacation soon. My dog loves big dog and her dog Tori was so well behaved and sweet around Moorea.”
“Leslie is truly a warm and compassion person. And she shows her furry guests the same amount of warmth that she shows to people. What I love is the condition that I receive my dogs in. They are old, but she gives them so much exercise that they come back with more energy than when I dropped them off! They truly seem happy staying with her. Leslie is also extremely communicative, very responsive and sends lots of photos.”
“My dog and her dog Lou got along great. When we did our meet and greet I could see how she was spot on with how they would get along. It was great getting videos and feed back throughout her stay. She knew exactly what I was worried about and knew to let me know how things were going. We have two more stays booked and feel at ease knowing that I don't have to worry.”
“Sarah was fabulous! We were in town for a quick trip and Sarah kept in touch with photos and messages everyday. We were able to relax knowing Willow was being spoiled with frequent walks and lots of cuddles and attention.”
“Marina took great car of our dog while we were in town on a vacation. She sent lots of photos, seemed to really care about our dog, and was easy to communicate with. Would book again if we were in town again!”
