“Brandi was absolutely amazing! She was able to accommodate our specific needs and was very communicative and sent lots of pictures during our trip. She has a really nice set up for the dogs and also printed off a big stack of pictures for us to take home. This has been the easiest and the best experience we have had with boarding and I will definitely be returning for future trips! We can’t thank Brandi enough! ❤️”
“With only a couple of days notice I asked Stefanie if she’d watch our shy little dog overnight who also needed to receive a couple of oral medications. Stefanie responded quickly to my request. Drop off and pick was easy and I received texts with updates & pictures showing our dog enjoying her stay. Our dog came home happy and healthy. Thank you Stefanie!”
“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!”
“We had a great experience with Angela and her kind son! They took wonderful care of Bo for two days and kept us updated with photos and messages, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Bo came home happy, healthy, and well cared for. We've already booked for them to watch Bo again and I recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and kind pet sitters.”
“We’re so happy to have found Crystal! Her home is beautiful and she has her backyard set up perfectly for dogs. She loves dogs and knows what she’s doing; her adorable Rosie dog is also an excellent hostess 😊. I had no reservations leaving our crazy pup, Abby, with her overnight. Crystal sent pictures that clearly showed Abby having a great time and not missing us one bit, exactly what you want as a dog parent.”
“Deborah exceeded our expectations as a pet sitter for our boys! From the moment we entrusted our pups to her care, she went above and beyond to put our minds at ease. One of the highlights was the adorable videos and pictures Deborah sent throughout their stay. These updates were super cute and reassuring, allowing us to see firsthand how happy and well-cared-for our dogs were. As someone who tends to feel anxious about leaving my pets with a new sitter, I truly appreciated Deborah's attentiveness to detail. She took the time to address all the little things that mattered to us, which significantly helped alleviate my concerns. Her thoughtful communication made us feel completely comfortable with the arrangement. Deborah's dedication to our pups' comfort was evident in every aspect of their stay. She even welcomed them to sleep in her bed, showing just how much she treated them as part of her family. We're thrilled to have found such a caring and reliable pet sitter in Deborah. Her services were outstanding, and we're excited to use them again in the future.”
“Earl was great to work with! He is easy going and great with animals. He was flexible with drop off and pick up times. I would definitely recommend this provider and we will surely be using him again in the future.”
“Sarah and her family did a trustworthy job taking care of my 7 month old puppy Mochi for 2 nights while we were at Scout Camp in Cazadero. She sent a ton of pictures from their outings & was super sweet. Thanks Sarah!”
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.
“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.”
“Had a really good experience with Patricia while we were in out of town. She was reliable, easy to communicate with, and took great care of Bo while we were away. We appreciated the updates and knowing she was being looked after. It made traveling a lot less stressful, and we came home to a happy dog. Would definitely use her and her nice family again!”
“We were in town for a special occasion and Heather and Caleb were very accommodating to our needs. They were a pleasure to work with. They gave our fur baby the attention she needed. We would not hesitate using them again.”

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.

“Leslie was a wonderful sitter for Lola. We have used her twice and she will continue to be our go-to whenever we're in Guernville. She has a great house perfect for dogs and she was incredibly easy going. Would highly recommend!”

“Hailey is very personable. She quickly responded to my request to book her for a 4-day house/cat sitting on "short notice" (2 weeks out). She came over right away to learn about the cats and the house. Our cats are free to go in and out during daylight, but they need to inside at night due to predators in our area. An electronic cat flap ensures that they remain inside at night. On the second evening, Hailey noticed that the electronic cat flap had allowed the cats exit after the "lock in" time. She quickly reported the problem to me and sent a photo of the control panel so I could diagnose the problem. I suspected that the batteries had died, which requires reprogramming. I told her where to find fresh batteries and the programming instructions. I doubt most sitters would be able to do it at all, but Hailey had it set up again within 10 minutes! Our "people" cat Shilo slept with Hailey, a high compliment. One evening our other cat Cassie (more leary of strangers) decided to sequester herself in the crawl space under the house. Hailey tried all the tricks to entice Cassie to come in, but to no avail, so Hailey stayed up until 11:15 when Cassie finally came back in. Hailey sent a photo or two of the cats daily and a brief comment on the cats' behavior, which is much appreciated. When we returned from our trip, the house was just as we'd left it 4 days before (which was clean and tidy). We wouldn't hesitate to book Hailey again.”
“Brianna went above and beyond for our Buddy! She was very communicative and showed so much love to our guy. We were truly able to feel at ease while on vacation knowing Buddy was in such good hands! Can’t wait to book Brianna again!!”
“Stephanie was wonderful with our cat Penelope who had some tummy issues which Stephanie handled with care and love. She offered many tips as she is also a feline lover, so we felt we were in good hands. We will use again and highly recommend.”
“Alexandra was wonderful. She looked after my kitty for a few days while I was on vacation and he seemed very happy when I got back home! The house was kept clean and tidy, you would never know anyone was there.”
About: I owned two cats for 7 years. I cleaned their litter boxes daily and spoiled them with different cat treats and toys :-) Also, I worked at Marin Humane Society for almost a year as an animal care technician and then volunteered for an additional year when I went back to school to earn my college degree.I also currently do drop in visits for a cat in Windsor once a week and house sit there occasionally.
“Marley was great. Our kitties came out to meet her the day she came for meet and greet prior to us hiring her. They are usually shier than that. This was a good sign immediately. She took good care of them and sent us pics on each visit. We recommend her and will hire her again, when needed.”

I'm currently building my own business where working from home is my mainstay on a daily basis-with this, I always have a flexible schedule that allows for short notice bookings and multiple drop-in visits on a daily visit if need be! Each and every client I serve has different needs and I am here to tailor your pet's experience to what it is used to. This custom experience will allow me to learn about what makes your pup/kitty tick and how to make the best out of their time being away from you!
About: I grew up caring for our family's energetic German Shepard, and numerous pets. I regularly sit for blue healers and an array of cats including two of my own. I understand differences in temperaments, energy levels, and social behaviors to support dogs' unique needs. Your pup is in great hands! I work from home part of the week and I'm able to take on animal care periodically and at set times throughout the week and most weekends. Animals' safety, care, and comfortability are my top priority. I live on a rural property and have a mostly fenced yard - the unfenced portion is surrounded by a creek that serves as a partition. I would never let dogs off leash unsupervised or allow them to be exposed to or engage in any unsafe activity.
About: I am a lover of all animals and have been called a female Dr. Dolittle! As for dogs, I have had Great Pyrenees, Jack Russell terriers and doggie mixes of all kinds. I have rescued, rehabilitated and re-homed many a dog, from chihuahua's to pit bulls. I am kind, loving, gentle, soulful, understanding of special needs and have lots of energy for long walks. We can go for a hike, a swim at the river, visit the dog park or just cuddle at home. Whatever your pet needs I can provide. My home is warm, safe and relaxing, my friends call it the Ashram! I look forward to taking loving care of your pet while you are away for the afternoon or overnight, doggie slumber parties are so fun! I am currently working part time so I have plenty of time to assist others with their pet needs. For me it is so much fun! I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs to keep your pet pal company. They can rest in the sunshine or enjoy my cozy home.
About: I provide reliable and loving care for your pets, whether through house sitting, drop-in visits, or dog walks. Your furry friends will be well-fed, cared for, and given plenty of attention, all tailored to your standards and beyond. I’m a dog person at heart, but I also love caring for cats. Many friends and clients trust me to care for their pets while they’re away, and I also offer house-sitting services, including plant care, mail collection, and general home upkeep. If boarding is needed, my cozy home in Forestville features a fenced yard, ideal for small to medium-sized dogs. I live close to a park that’s perfect for daily walks and outdoor play.

Updated 1-22-2025 I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide attentive and reliable care for your pets.

My availability includes mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends, giving me plenty of time to tailor my care to your pets’ routines. Let me know what works best for you and your furry friends! I prioritize safety and trust by closely following each pet parent's care instructions and maintaining a calm, secure environment. In clients' homes, I treat the space respectfully and ensure doors, windows, and surroundings are safe for your cat, dog, or other pets. My goal is to provide a stress-free experience, giving both pets and owners peace of mind. I make sure to follow instructions and feed them on time according to your schedule. I also often take dogs on walks and potty brakes and play fetch with them if they like that as well.

About: Hello! My name is Chiara. In addition to walking and taking care of dogs, I can also pet-sit cats and other animals in the household. I have experience administering medicine to animals, as well as keeping constant attention on those that require more daily assistance. I have had 2 cats (1 with special medical needs) in the past 11 years and also have taken care of large dog breeds that were owned by my family, including huskies. I know how to handle and control the attention of a big dog on walks. A little about me; I am Master's student at Rice University, but my hometown is sonoma county. I am part time, and will update my availability as often as I can. Usually I am free more around the holiday seasons as well as summer. I do drop-in house visits, dog walking, and cat care. I am comfortable giving animals medication in pill and liquid form if needed. My topmost priority is ensuring that your animal is safe, secure, and happy while you are gone!

“Brandi was absolutely amazing! She was able to accommodate our specific needs and was very communicative and sent lots of pictures during our trip. She has a really nice set up for the dogs and also printed off a big stack of pictures for us to take home. This has been the easiest and the best experience we have had with boarding and I will definitely be returning for future trips! We can’t thank Brandi enough! ❤️”
“With only a couple of days notice I asked Stefanie if she’d watch our shy little dog overnight who also needed to receive a couple of oral medications. Stefanie responded quickly to my request. Drop off and pick was easy and I received texts with updates & pictures showing our dog enjoying her stay. Our dog came home happy and healthy. Thank you Stefanie!”
“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!”
“We had a great experience with Angela and her kind son! They took wonderful care of Bo for two days and kept us updated with photos and messages, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Bo came home happy, healthy, and well cared for. We've already booked for them to watch Bo again and I recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and kind pet sitters.”
“We’re so happy to have found Crystal! Her home is beautiful and she has her backyard set up perfectly for dogs. She loves dogs and knows what she’s doing; her adorable Rosie dog is also an excellent hostess 😊. I had no reservations leaving our crazy pup, Abby, with her overnight. Crystal sent pictures that clearly showed Abby having a great time and not missing us one bit, exactly what you want as a dog parent.”
“Deborah exceeded our expectations as a pet sitter for our boys! From the moment we entrusted our pups to her care, she went above and beyond to put our minds at ease. One of the highlights was the adorable videos and pictures Deborah sent throughout their stay. These updates were super cute and reassuring, allowing us to see firsthand how happy and well-cared-for our dogs were. As someone who tends to feel anxious about leaving my pets with a new sitter, I truly appreciated Deborah's attentiveness to detail. She took the time to address all the little things that mattered to us, which significantly helped alleviate my concerns. Her thoughtful communication made us feel completely comfortable with the arrangement. Deborah's dedication to our pups' comfort was evident in every aspect of their stay. She even welcomed them to sleep in her bed, showing just how much she treated them as part of her family. We're thrilled to have found such a caring and reliable pet sitter in Deborah. Her services were outstanding, and we're excited to use them again in the future.”
“Earl was great to work with! He is easy going and great with animals. He was flexible with drop off and pick up times. I would definitely recommend this provider and we will surely be using him again in the future.”
“Sarah and her family did a trustworthy job taking care of my 7 month old puppy Mochi for 2 nights while we were at Scout Camp in Cazadero. She sent a ton of pictures from their outings & was super sweet. Thanks Sarah!”
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.
“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.”
“Had a really good experience with Patricia while we were in out of town. She was reliable, easy to communicate with, and took great care of Bo while we were away. We appreciated the updates and knowing she was being looked after. It made traveling a lot less stressful, and we came home to a happy dog. Would definitely use her and her nice family again!”
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.
“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!”
