She listened to my concerns and made sure I was comfortable leaving Zelda with her. Highly recommend her care”

“Princess was SO great with my fur baby. She set up a video call very promptly and was highly communicative both before and during the visit. She also took him for an outdoor hiking adventure (with advance approval), so I know that he got plenty of exercise, love, and attention while in her care. Princess followed his care instructions perfectly, and I received photo/video updates daily while away! I would highly recommend Princess’ services and have added her as one of my favorites to find her easily in the future.”

“Michele was absolutely fantastic! She agreed to watch our 13 year old medium sized pup (Wisco) on short notice and took such great care of her while we were in Mendocino for a wedding. She took her on several beautiful walks, to the beach, along for lunch with a friend, etc. We were confident our dog was in great hands having a vacation of her own. If we lived closer to Michele, she would be my go-to sitter every time!!! Really so happy we found her and so was our pup :)”

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.

About: I've owned cats and dogs my whole life. Our current cats are brother and sister that turned 7 this past April. They were feral as kittens and now they are the most social, loving, and easy going cats. Both still have their wildness about them with being indoor outdoor cats. Out exploring during day, coming back in for afternoon naps and night time lock down.

Our kitties met her and seemed very comfortable with her right away! Angelia's check ins were detailed with comments and several cute pics of our felines. She spent the full 30 minutes on each visit and we returned home to 2 happy cats! We highly recommend Angelia and will be comfortable with her cat sitting for us in the future!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 3 years and love providing dependable, personalized care. I offer flexible scheduling and overnight stays in your home, so your fur baby can stay comfortable in their own space. Whether your pet needs long walks, playtime, quiet companionship, or all of the above, I’m happy to adapt to their routine. I’m reliable, communicative, and committed to making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well-cared for while you're away. Every visit is about building trust—with both you and your pet! Pet care fits perfectly into my routine right now—I’m currently taking a year off from school, which means I have a very open and flexible schedule, 7 days a week. This allows me to be fully available for daytime visits, evening check-ins, and overnight stays as needed. I’m happy to work around your dog’s usual routine and provide consistent, reliable care whenever you need it. When caring for pets in your home, I always prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for your furry friend. Over the last 3 years of dog sitting, I’ve built respectful and trustworthy relationships with clients, friends, and family friends by consistently showing genuine care and respect for both their puppies and their homes. I understand how important it is to honor your space and routine, so I make sure every visit feels familiar and stress-free for your pet. You can count on me to treat your home and your dog with the kindness and responsibility they deserve.

“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’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: Dogs have been my passion for as long as I can remember. As a child, I spent much of my free time learning about different breeds, canine behavior, body language, health, grooming, and training. As an adult, that passion has only grown, and I have been fortunate enough to turn my lifelong love of dogs into a career. I have over eight years of professional experience working with dogs, including six years as a groomer and trainer at a boarding, grooming, and training facility, followed by two years as a professional groomer in a veterinary setting. Throughout my career, I have worked with dogs of all breeds, ages, sizes, and temperaments. In addition to my hands-on experience, I have completed numerous online and in-person educational programs through organizations such as the American Kennel Club (AKC) and industry conferences including the Pasadena Groom & Kennel Expo. My continuing education has included canine behavior and body language, canine CPR and first aid, breed standards and breed-specific grooming techniques, behavior modification, working safely with aggressive dogs, and training dogs with behavioral challenges. I believe there is always more to learn, and I am passionate about continuing my education so I can provide the highest level of care possible. One of my greatest strengths is understanding canine body language and behavior. I am highly proficient at recognizing stress signals, fear responses, anxiety, overstimulation, excitement, and other behavioral cues. Over the years, I have worked with everything from easygoing family pets to dogs struggling with reactivity, resource guarding, anxiety, fear-based behaviors, and other behavioral challenges. Understanding why a dog is behaving a certain way allows me to create a positive, safe, and low-stress experience tailored to each individual dog. I have also spent years fostering and grooming dogs for our local Humane Society, often taking on dogs that need extra patience, confidence-building, socialization, training, or behavioral support. Helping these dogs grow and succeed has been one of the most rewarding parts of my work. My experience as a groomer has taught me the importance of being observant and proactive. Groomers often see dogs more frequently than veterinarians and spend extended periods of time closely examining a dog's skin, coat, ears, eyes, feet, movement, and overall condition. Throughout my career, I have helped many clients identify potential concerns that later warranted veterinary attention, including food and environmental allergies, chronic skin conditions, ear infections, unusual lumps or bumps, coat changes, mobility concerns, and other health issues. While I never diagnose medical conditions, I take pride in recognizing when something appears unusual and encouraging owners to seek veterinary care. In many cases, early recognition helped owners find answers sooner and allowed their pets to receive treatment before problems became more serious or caused prolonged discomfort. I currently live on 10 acres with my three dogs: two Chihuahua mixes that I adopted as foster failures from the Humane Society and a Standard Poodle who has become somewhat of a local celebrity. Thanks to my grooming experience, he is known for his creative trims and has won local Halloween costume contests. He has also participated in community events where he helped demonstrate proper grooming and brushing techniques for pet owners. His friendly, outgoing personality and love of meeting new people are a reflection of the training, socialization, and care that I believe every dog deserves. Every dog is unique, and I believe exceptional care starts with understanding each dog's individual personality, needs, and communication style. Whether your dog needs a fun place to stay, specialized handling, extra patience, or simply someone who genuinely understands and loves dogs, my goal is to provide a safe, enriching, and low-stress environment where they feel comfortable, secure, and cared for like one of my own. As a stay-at-home mom, my daily routine allows me to spend a significant amount of time at home, which means your pet will receive plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. My dogs are an important part of our family's daily life, and caring for animals is already built into my routine. Each day includes feeding, potty breaks, exercise, playtime, enrichment activities, grooming as needed, and plenty of affection. Because I live on 10 acres, there is ample space for walks, exploration, and outdoor time, all while being carefully supervised. I also make it a priority to monitor each dog's behavior, comfort level, and overall well-being so I can adapt activities to their individual needs and personality. Whether your dog is energetic and loves to play, enjoys exploring outdoors, or prefers relaxing and receiving attention, I strive to provide a safe, structured, and low-stress environment where they feel comfortable and cared for. Since I am home throughout the day, your pet will not be left alone for long periods and will receive the same level of attention and care that I give my own dogs. *************************************** Please let me know if your dog has any special needs such as -dietary restrictions -medications - food or skin allergies -resource guarding Etc. ***Additional Fees & Booking Adjustments*** ****Please review before booking.*** I want every dog in my care to have a safe, comfortable, and enjoyable stay. In some circumstances, a dog may require additional cleaning, supervision, or individual management beyond what is normally included in their stay. If any of the following situations occur, your booking may be adjusted to include the applicable additional fee. Female Dogs in Heat — $10/day An additional $10 per day will apply if a female dog is in heat during her stay, including if her heat cycle begins after drop-off. Dogs in heat require additional cleaning, monitoring, and management and must be kept completely separate from any intact male dogs in the household. Transportation (Pick-Up/Drop-Off): I offer optional pickup and drop-off for boarding/daycare clients located within 60 miles of my home. Transportation is charged at $1 per mile, each way, based on the distance between my home and your pickup/drop-off location. (When booking, you will notice it has a "flat rate" of $100 shown for sitter pickup/drop off. This flat rate will be adjusted once I receive your address and can calculate the correct fee based on the milage.) This helps cover gas, travel time, and vehicle expenses. Pickup and drop-off can be added individually or together, depending on your needs. Excessive Barking — $10 per day An additional $10 per day may be charged for dogs who display excessive or persistent barking throughout their stay. Normal occasional barking, excitement, or a reasonable adjustment period in a new environment will not result in an additional fee. This fee applies when barking is ongoing or excessive enough to require additional supervision, intervention, or management. Not Crate Trained — $10 per day An additional $10 per day may be charged for dogs who are not crate trained or have significant difficulty safely and calmly settling in a crate when needed for short periods of time (30 minutes or less). While dogs spend the majority of their day out and about, crates are used for feeding when necessary, brief periods of separation, and anytime I need to leave the home. Normal whining or a short adjustment period will not result in an additional fee; this fee is intended for dogs who require substantially more supervision or management due to difficulty being crated. Frequent Indoor Accidents — $10/day An additional $10 per day will apply if a dog has three or more indoor potty accidents during their stay, regardless of whether the accidents are due to house-training, marking, illness, stomach upset, or another cause. All large-breed dogs are taken outside for potty breaks at least once every hour, and all small-breed dogs are taken outside at least once every 30 minutes. Additional potty breaks are provided whenever needed. The first two accidents will not result in an additional charge. Once a dog has had three indoor accidents, the $10 daily fee will apply due to the additional cleaning, sanitizing, laundry, and care required. An occasional or isolated accident is understandable and will not result in an additional fee. This policy is specifically intended for recurring accidents that require a significant amount of additional cleaning during your dog’s stay. Individual Separation Required — $10/day An additional $10 per day may apply if your dog must be individually separated from other dogs or members of the household for a significant portion of their stay due to behavioral, management, or safety concerns. Individual separation may be necessary if your dog: - Does not safely get along with another dog in the household - Displays aggression, attempted biting, snapping, or other threatening behavior toward people or animals - Displays resource guarding involving food, treats, toys, beds, spaces, people, or other items - Shows excessive or persistent reactivity toward other animals - Engages in persistent bullying, mounting, or other behaviors that create ongoing conflict between dogs - Cannot safely participate in normal group activities or shared spaces - Repeatedly attempts to escape, climb or jump fencing, bolt through doors, or otherwise requires additional individual management for their safety - Requires ongoing one-on-one supervision or management to prevent conflicts or unsafe situations - Displays another unexpected behavior that makes individual separation necessary for the safety or well-being of your dog, other animals, or members of the household This fee covers the additional time and care involved in maintaining separate spaces, rotating dogs between areas, coordinating individual potty breaks and activities, and providing appropriate attention and care while your dog is separated. A dog simply choosing to spend time alone, being shy, or voluntarily seeking a quiet space will not result in a separation fee. This fee only applies when I must actively maintain and manage the dog's separation for behavioral or safety reasons. Safety is always my priority. Requiring separation does not mean your dog will receive less attention, exercise, affection, or care. It simply allows me to safely accommodate dogs who require more individualized management during their stay. ***** 🛁🐩 In addition to boarding and daycare, I also offer professional grooming services! I’m an experienced groomer with several years of hands-on experience working with a wide variety of breeds, coat types, and temperaments. Grooming services can be added to your pet’s stay or scheduled separately. Feel free to reach out to me for grooming options and pricing!***** The safety, comfort, and well-being of every pet in my care are always my highest priorities. Before accepting a booking, I take the time to learn about each dog's personality, routine, temperament, medical needs, and any behavioral concerns so I can provide care tailored specifically to them. At my home, dogs enjoy a spacious country setting on 10 acres. In addition to the large property, I have secure fenced areas available for supervised outdoor time, play, and potty breaks. Dogs are never left outdoors unattended, and I closely monitor all interactions between pets to ensure everyone remains safe and comfortable. Because of my professional background in grooming, training, fostering, and canine behavior, I pay close attention to body language and behavior at all times. I am highly skilled at recognizing early signs of stress, anxiety, fear, overstimulation, or conflict and can make adjustments before situations escalate. New dogs are introduced thoughtfully and at a pace appropriate for their comfort level. I understand that not every dog enjoys socializing with other dogs, and some pets may be more comfortable having their own space. For this reason, I have the ability to safely separate dogs when needed and can accommodate dogs that prefer limited interaction, require individual attention, need separate feeding arrangements, or simply do better in a quieter environment. My goal is always to set each dog up for success based on their individual needs rather than expecting every dog to fit the same routine. I maintain fresh water at all times, carefully follow feeding and medication instructions, and take precautions to ensure dogs cannot access anything unsafe. I am also trained in canine CPR and first aid, providing owners with additional peace of mind that their pets are in knowledgeable and capable hands. When caring for pets in a client's home, I strive to maintain their normal routine as closely as possible. Consistency helps reduce stress and allows pets to feel secure in their familiar environment. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, exercise, household rules, and special needs. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident knowing their pets are safe, happy, and receiving excellent care. Every dog is unique, and my goal is always to create a safe, structured, low-stress environment where they feel comfortable, respected, and cared for like one of my own. *************************************** Please let me know if your dog has any special needs such as -dietary restrictions -medications - food or skin allergies -resource guarding Etc. ***Additional Fees & Booking Adjustments*** ****Please review before booking.*** I want every dog in my care to have a safe, comfortable, and enjoyable stay.

Excessive Barking — $10 per day An additional $10 per day may be charged for dogs who display excessive or persistent barking throughout their stay. Normal occasional barking, excitement, or a reasonable adjustment period in a new environment will not result in an additional fee. This fee applies when barking is ongoing or excessive enough to require additional supervision, intervention, or management. Not Crate Trained — $10 per day An additional $10 per day may be charged for dogs who are not crate trained or have significant difficulty safely and calmly settling in a crate when needed for short periods of time (30 minutes or less). While dogs spend the majority of their day out and about, crates are used for feeding when necessary, brief periods of separation, and anytime I need to leave the home. Normal whining or a short adjustment period will not result in an additional fee; this fee is intended for dogs who require substantially more supervision or management due to difficulty being crated. Frequent Indoor Accidents — $10/day An additional $10 per day will apply if a dog has three or more indoor potty accidents during their stay, regardless of whether the accidents are due to house-training, marking, illness, stomach upset, or another cause. All large-breed dogs are taken outside for potty breaks at least once every hour, and all small-breed dogs are taken outside at least once every 30 minutes. Additional potty breaks are provided whenever needed. The first two accidents will not result in an additional charge. Once a dog has had three indoor accidents, the $10 daily fee will apply due to the additional cleaning, sanitizing, laundry, and care required. An occasional or isolated accident is understandable and will not result in an additional fee. This policy is specifically intended for recurring accidents that require a significant amount of additional cleaning during your dog’s stay. Individual Separation Required — $10/day An additional $10 per day may apply if your dog must be individually separated from other dogs or members of the household for a significant portion of their stay due to behavioral, management, or safety concerns. Individual separation may be necessary if your dog: - Does not safely get along with another dog in the household - Displays aggression, attempted biting, snapping, or other threatening behavior toward people or animals - Displays resource guarding involving food, treats, toys, beds, spaces, people, or other items - Shows excessive or persistent reactivity toward other animals - Engages in persistent bullying, mounting, or other behaviors that create ongoing conflict between dogs - Cannot safely participate in normal group activities or shared spaces - Repeatedly attempts to escape, climb or jump fencing, bolt through doors, or otherwise requires additional individual management for their safety - Requires ongoing one-on-one supervision or management to prevent conflicts or unsafe situations - Displays another unexpected behavior that makes individual separation necessary for the safety or well-being of your dog, other animals, or members of the household This fee covers the additional time and care involved in maintaining separate spaces, rotating dogs between areas, coordinating individual potty breaks and activities, and providing appropriate attention and care while your dog is separated. A dog simply choosing to spend time alone, being shy, or voluntarily seeking a quiet space will not result in a separation fee. This fee only applies when I must actively maintain and manage the dog's separation for behavioral or safety reasons. Safety is always my priority. Requiring separation does not mean your dog will receive less attention, exercise, affection, or care. It simply allows me to safely accommodate dogs who require more individualized management during their stay. ***** 🛁🐩 In addition to boarding and daycare, I also offer professional grooming services! I’m an experienced groomer with several years of hands-on experience working with a wide variety of breeds, coat types, and temperaments. Grooming services can be added to your pet’s stay or scheduled separately. Feel free to reach out to me for grooming options and pricing!*****

“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.”

“MiLana took wonderful care of our large teenage dog and handled him with love and care! Her pack of dogs made him feel at home right away, and both days he came back to us joyous and exhausted. She was accommodating with our schedule and helped us do some local activities with the peace of mind knowing our dog was safe and happy.”

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.

About: I have 10+ years of experience caring for and owning dogs, cats, iguanas, tortoises, and chickens, etc. ranging from high energy Doberman puppies to senior Staffordshire Bull Terrier dogs where daily medication was needed. Currently I own a Great Pyrenees named Winter. I have a range of experience with different animals and I'm always willing to learn more. I'm currently working part time, so I'll have plenty of time to check in, walk, or play with your pet. I'm available Monday through Sunday. I live in a 4 dog, 2 cat household. Our dogs are all crate trained. We have 1 Great Pyrenees, 2 Pitbulls, 1 McNabb mix and 2 cats. All get along great and play well with each other. They all get taken on daily walks since we have no fenced in yard. Everyone happy, healthy and loved.

About: I have always had dogs in my life, I grew up on a ranch with an assortment of different breeds and sizes. I have two pups of my own, Goose is our Mastiff/St. Bernard puppy and Lady is my German Shepherd. They are both rescues, super energetic (but they also will leave other dogs alone if the dog doesn’t want to play), they love every dog under the sun. Growing up I have always had the joy of watching friends, family, and neighbors furry friends. When dogs stay with me you can expect they will have a great time, they have a giant yard/pool to run and play on and in, we also go on hikes in the forest or to the Lake, frequent trips to the park, and of course they will love to explore all that Mendocino County has to offer. What can I say, I love dogs and enjoy spending everyday taking care of them :) I hope to be the dog sitter for you I am a stay at home mom with my two kids, so it is very rare the pups are ever left alone. The only time I leave the house is to pick up my son from preschool 10 min down the road. Our back yard is completely fenced and I have two very friendly dogs that they will get to play with. I treat all dogs like my own so they always get the best care possible.

About: Caring for dogs and cats of all ages and breeds has been a big part of my life--my own pets and those of friends and family. I work part time at a restaurant and it’s usually easy to switch my shifts around if your pets have specific needs. On days that I do work, I typically work 6 hour shifts. I believe in giving dogs the time and space they need to get ample exercise and play time. I will abide by the rules and wishes for your pet, and give them plenty of love and attention while you are away.

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.

She also took him for an outdoor hiking adventure (with advance approval), so I know that he got plenty of exercise, love, and attention while in her care. Princess followed his care instructions perfectly, and I received photo/video updates daily while away! I would highly recommend Princess’ services and have added her as one of my favorites to find her easily in the future.”
