“Leslie is a wonderful person who took great care of our two dachsunds. She is also an amazing chef - We will definitely work with her again soon and highly recommend her to anyone.”
“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.”
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 an excellent choice for my Tito. She is professional, experienced and a very kind person. Tito was made to feel right at home and was very happy while with Veronica. He had his first pupcup and she sent him home with the cutest hallow costume. I highly recommend her for your pet. ❤️”
“We were able to get in with Lauren on pretty short notice. Her family was great with (my dog) Rooster. He has a past that can make him a little nervous and anti-social and they were very patient with him.”
“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 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! ❤️”
About: I've cared for dogs for friends over the years, and it's always been a rewarding experience. I'm excited to spend my summer meeting new dogs and providing them with loving, dependable care. I grew up with dogs and have experience with puppies as well—we once took in a stray who turned out to be pregnant, so I got firsthand experience helping care for a litter. Being around dogs has always been a big part of my life, and I enjoy giving them the attention, exercise, and affection they deserve. I have a pretty flexible schedule and I can work with whatever your schedule is as long as I have a heads up. I am off work all summer so I can plan around things! I can also take your dog to the groomers etc. I have a fully fenced yard where your dog can safely play, plus a nearby trail for walks and a green space just a couple of blocks away for even more outdoor time. I provide attentive, personalized care and genuinely enjoy spending time playing with dogs, taking them on walks, and making sure they feel comfortable and happy. I'm also happy to come to your home for walks or drop-in visits. Whether your pup has a specific routine, feeding schedule, medication needs, or favorite activities, I'll follow your instructions carefully to ensure they receive the same loving care they're used to. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, well cared for, and loved while you're away.
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.
“It started out as a week stay with Bernadette, but I had an emergency and needed to extend a week, then I needed to go in for an emergency surgery- so I needed her help for another week. Three weeks from the day I dropped off my doggie and She helped me with something that could have been extremely difficult. I am so grateful for Bernadette. She is an animal person and it shows. Thank you so much and Happy New Year.”
About: I am a devoted animal person. I have had dogs and cats my whole life, and am experienced with puppies as well as senior dogs. I currently work remotely and have a flexible schedule. I am available for dog walking weekdays and some weekends. Open to special requests and needs. My home has a large doggie door which opens to large fenced in yard. Dogs come in and out as they please. Lots of play toys and special attention.
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.
“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 .”
“Sunny returned a very happy boy after getting to run around a beautiful property with lots of new friends. David was kind, responsive and flexible! Would love to have Sunny visit again when we're in the area :)”
“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.”
“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.”
“I recently enjoyed entrusting my pup with Krissy; she met all my expectations. I cannot recommend her enough for her exceptional care, attentiveness, and playful nature. From the moment I met her, I felt confident that my dog would be in excellent hands. One of the standout qualities of this sitter was her attentiveness. She genuinely cared about my dog's well-being and made sure to provide the utmost care at all times. She was incredibly observant and paid close attention to his needs, ensuring he was comfortable and happy throughout his stay. Communication played a vital role in my positive experience. She was incredibly communicative, keeping us updated regularly on my dog's activities, moods, and any notable changes. Whether through text messages, pictures, or videos, she made sure we felt connected to my dog even when I was away. This level of communication provided me with peace of mind and further reinforced my trust in her. She went above and beyond to understand his preferences, routines, and special requirements. She tailored her approach to accommodate his individual personality and made adjustments as needed. This level of adaptability truly sets her apart as an exceptional sitter. My experience with Krissy was nothing short of fantastic. If you're looking for a sitter who will go above and beyond to provide exceptional care for your furry friend, I wholeheartedly recommend her.”
“Ana and her husband work from home, so they are able to be with your pet 24/7. My 12 year old cockapoo, Mazie, had never stayed overnight anywhere. We were gone for 5 nights! Ana made me feel at peace leaving my pet with her and I never felt worried. She sent photos so I could see that all was well. I don’t think Mazie ever missed me. I highly recommend Ana!!”
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: I've taken care of cats since I was a child. My own, as well as friends and family's. I've simce worked in home with cats of various ages, and have been in charge of their care.I love to play and snuggle and make sure they feel loved and cared for!
“Oh my goodness. We have had a lot of cat sitters, but Veronica is absolutely the best. She went above and beyond in every way. She was helpful during booking, came at consistent times, sent multiple photos of everything she did (ex: a photo of the clean litter box, etc.), and even bought our cats two brand new toys while we were away. Communicative is not even the word for it - she communicated with us in a way that took every fear we had about leaving our fur babies away. She’s truly amazing and we can’t wait to have her back. I highly, highly recommend using Veronica. She’s incredible.”
“This was my first time using Rover. Jamie was very easy to work with. She came over for a pre-trip meeting and we went over what my cats needed while I went on my trip. She gave updates for each visit along with pictures, which were super cute. I was also glad that she reached out when she had a question about the medications (pills in my cats case) to make sure she was giving the correct ones at the correct times. Overall very pleased with the experience, both in terms of Jamie and Rover. Would definitely use both again!”
“Lauren was so kind and gave prompt updates with photos and videos of our cat during check ins while we were away, we will certainly be using her services again in the future!”
“Andrea is an awesome pet sitter and I can’t recommend her enough! She did drop ins to check on our two young cats while we were gone and gave them lots of care. She always posted great pictures and notes from her visits and it made it so nice to see our cats while we were away. Thanks Andrea!!!”
“With Alison checking on my cat I was really able to enjoy my vacation! She sent (incredible) photos every visit, and also updated me on various house issues. I will definitely ask her next time I go somewhere!”
“Melissa is a wonderful pet sitter who goes above & beyond to make sure your pet is happy & well cared for. It's an extra bonus to have her son with her. My cat Keebler gets lots of attention & playtime & I get great updates & photos.”

I’m available throughout the week and can easily adjust to fit your pet’s routine, so they stay happy and comfortable no matter when you need help.

I live in an apartment with gated areas, perfect for keeping pets secure while still giving them room to play and relax. I keep the space clean, organized, and pet-friendly, with plenty of cozy spots for lounging, as well as areas for playtime and exercise. When caring for pets in a client's home, I always follow their routine and preferences to ensure their pets feel at ease. Whether it’s sticking to feeding schedules, giving walks, or providing extra playtime, I make sure to keep pets happy and stress-free in their own environment.
“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. 👏”
“Amanda took great care of my animals while I was out of town. She sent several pictures every day and I couldn’t be happier. Followed what I asked of her exactly and all of my animals fell in love with her by the end. 100% will book again!!”
“Chantel did a terrific job caring for my cats for a month. She is professional, quick to respond, and went above and beyond trying to solve a (non-pet related) house problem that came up while I was away. She’ll be my first choice for next time!”
About: What sets me apart is my high energy, adaptability, and genuine attentiveness to each pet’s unique needs. Whether it’s an energetic kitten, a shy senior cat, or a playful pup, I adjust my care style to match their personality and routine. I’m not just here to feed and walk I’m here to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I take pride in creating a calm and fun environment, giving you peace of mind and your pet a new best friend.

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.
“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 been around animals all my life, particularly big dogs. My family has always had big dogs (Bernese Mountain dogs and labradors), but I share the love with all sizes! Helping train our family dogs has also given me confidence not only in handling animals, but also the knowledge to ensure safe engagement with them and others. No animal is "problematic" they all just require (and deserve) specific attention and patience. I personally enjoy the company of animals, so it's a win-win if I get to hang out with your pet! I'm an active person and like to invite my furry friends along for fun too. I'll run with them to get out their zoomies, play fetch for hours, or go on nice long strolls along the neighborhood. I enjoy getting outside as much as the dog does, so this is a mutually beneficial experience! I work from home, typically schedule my own meetings, and have a flexible schedule! I enjoy getting out of my house to go on walks of my own, so its even better to have some furry company! I understand that life happens and sometimes we need extra support, even last minute. So I'm here to help out with all the things life throw our way. When interacting and engaging with animals, especially new ones, patience and slowness are my virtues. I understand animals and that you're doing your best for them. Whether they just need some love while you're away, or you want me to reinforce training that you're working on, I take your needs very seriously.
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.

“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 ?”
“Angelina is a wonderful dog sitter. She is friendly, communicative, and flexible. We appreciated her offering to let us see her home before we left Smudge with her. We absolutely would request her assistance 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.”
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!!”

“Jen was great! We dropped Cooper off for the day and felt very comfortable leaving, knowing he was in great hands! Her two dogs were very sweet and were great companions for Cooper during his day there. When we picked Cooper up it was obvious he had a great day and was well taken care of. We would definitely bring Cooper back again when we are in the area.”

“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!!!”
“Kyra was very sensitive and attentive to Barry’s needs. She sent photos, reviewed his time with her and expressed her interest in having hime stay again. Of course Barry was excited when I arrived, yet, was calm and confident as we left and headed home. I will definitely request Kyra again!”
“Darina & Blake helped me with last minute doggy day care for my special rescue dog who currently has separation anxiety. They work from home which is puuurfect for pets who can't be left alone. Their wonderful home seems to be a good place for dogs, surrounded by natural forest beauty for sniff walks. I recommend them to help you and your fur babies!”

About: I've grown up taking care of both cats and dogs. I love animals and look forward to helping you care your your precious pets. In the past I have worked as a pet and house sitter for a couple families. I always enjoy any time spent with animals. I have flexible schedule making me available to care for your fur babies! I live in Guerneville, but frequently go to Sebastopol throughout the week. So mainly looking to work for ones in these areas. But open to adventuring in to further surrounding areas if its a good fit for us both! Currently I am not able to board pets in my home because I am renting. But I would be happy to stop by and spend time with your pets whenever is needed!
“Jamie is really great! A dog whisperer. Our reactive dog warms up to her right away. She was able to hold his leash and pet him on first meeting. Awesome! Our dog will definitely continue having walks with her. She’s going to be his new walking person for sure.”
“Another great Willa Walk week! Exceptional care especially with providing extra care and love while Miss Willa heals from her hiking injury last week which resulted in an emergency room visit with suture procedure. Andrea truly is a Willa whisperer and just so talented, caring, and a natural intuit. Huzzah!”
“Sophia has done a great job walking my dog so far! She asked lots of questions at our initial meeting, which showed how committed she was to taking good care of him. She has accommodated our requested schedule even when it's a tight fit for her.”

About: Animals have always been a significant part of my life, offering a journey of continuous learning and growth. My experience spans nearly a decade in the veterinary field, where I gained invaluable expertise in caring for sick and injured pets, as well as horses, cows, goats, sheep, donkeys, and pigs. This diverse background has enriched my understanding and approach to animal care. The greatest source of joy and personal development has been my American Staffordshire mix, Kai. His unique needs led me to explore behavioral modification programs, culminating in my apprenticeship with a lead trainer. I was honored to lead off-leash pack walks for groups of 6-8 dogs, many with ongoing behavioral challenges. For 10 years, I owned and operated a dog boarding, day care, walking, and training company. This experience allowed me to provide comprehensive care and training services to a wide variety of dogs, further honing my skills and passion for animal care. Additionally, I have enjoyed pet sitting and boarding for family, friends, and neighbors over the years. Kai and I are active adventurers, frequently exploring the mountains, coast, and open road. I specialize in caring for sick pets and administering medications and treatments, and I am excited to now offer my skills in animal communication. Rover is my full time job and I dedicate myself fully to pets in my care. I care for them like they are my own. Being an animal communicator helps with this aspect in that I can ask them what they need or what’s bothering them. I have a huge variety of experiences to pull from and will ensure that your pet is cared for as if you were still home. I appreciate keeping close communication with owners/guardians especially when a pet is new to me.
“Alison is so wonderful! We are very thankful to have found her through Rover. She is so prompt and a joy to communicate with. My dog enjoys his time with her and loves his walks around our neighborhood.”

With a lifetime of experience caring for both cats and dogs—my own, those of friends and family, and even a few strays I’ve happily taken in—I’ve seen it all and handled it with lots of love and patience. As a trained veterinary assistant, I also bring a bit of extra expertise to the table, so if your pet has any special needs or quirks, I’ve got the know-how to handle just about anything your fur babies throw my way! I’m experienced with everything from playful pups to shy kitties, and I’m comfortable handling all sorts of furry friends. Need someone to spoil your pet with belly rubs, playtime, or just some cozy snuggles? I’m your go-to! I believe in creating a warm, compassionate environment where pets feel comfortable and secure, no matter how long you’re away. So, whether it’s a full-blown vacation or just a quick outing, you can rest easy knowing your pets are in great hands. I’m looking forward to making new furry friends and giving them the care they deserve! Let’s make your time away stress-free for both you and your furballs! Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine because I currently have a flexible schedule and no other job commitments. This allows me to dedicate my time fully to your pets, ensuring they get all the attention, exercise, and care they need.. I’m available throughout the week and can easily adjust to fit your pet’s routine, so they stay happy and comfortable no matter when you need help. When caring for pets in my home, I make sure they have a safe, comfortable, and engaging environment. I live in an apartment with gated areas, perfect for keeping pets secure while still giving them room to play and relax. I keep the space clean, organized, and pet-friendly, with plenty of cozy spots for lounging, as well as areas for playtime and exercise. When caring for pets in a client's home, I always follow their routine and preferences to ensure their pets feel at ease. Whether it’s sticking to feeding schedules, giving walks, or providing extra playtime, I make sure to keep pets happy and stress-free in their own environment.
“Amanda has a wonderful calming energy with dogs. My shy dog warmed up to her immediately and trusted her. She is punctual, thoughtful and definitely “gets” dogs. I will definitely use her again and highly recommend her.”
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.
About: I have had dogs and cats for over 40 years, Pets make our lives better and I look forward to caring for your furry friend. My schedule is flexible and I am open to all pet care opportunities. I can walk, feed, bathe and play with your animals during my visit. I have had pets and am very conscience about pet safety. When outdoors, they will be supervised and played with. When indoors they will follow your house rules!
“Evan is a kind and conscientious dog lover. I felt 100% comfortable leaving my dog with him on a regular basis. He is communicative, reliable, and trustworthy. I highly recommend him!!”
About: I grew up with all sorts of animals and have always loved spending time with them. Your pets will get loads of attention from me, as I take full advantage of my time with them. You get your money's worth with me! I have helped potty train, helped teach tricks, have extensive experience pet sitting for animals with various needs and abilities, have experience sitting for elder pets and pets who need medication, and I am dedicated to catering my care to fit with your pet's personality making our time together fun and engaging. I take a positive reinforcement approach to dog training and build trust with the pets I watch. I spend a lot of time outside exploring new locations each day and our time together often ends with your pet exhausted. I have done loads of house sitting and have wonderful references. If needed I can even watch your other pets, too. I am getting my master's degree right now allowing me to take your dog out on frequent walks. When sitting for dogs that are well behaved I tend to bring them with me everywhere I can, keeping them active and engaged. Taking care of your animals is my way of getting time with them during a time in my life when I cannot have them. I love all animals and promise to care for them with all the love I would impart to my own animals. I make sure to treat your house as if it were my own. This means keeping things clean and making sure that nothing is destroyed. If something does get broken (which is uncommon) you will always know and if it was my fault I will, of course, replace it. It is not uncommon for people to ask for me to bring in their mail, water their plants, etc. and I am happy to help how I can.

“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!”
“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.”

“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.”
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 an excellent choice for my Tito. She is professional, experienced and a very kind person. Tito was made to feel right at home and was very happy while with Veronica. He had his first pupcup and she sent him home with the cutest hallow costume. I highly recommend her for your pet. ❤️”
“We were able to get in with Lauren on pretty short notice. Her family was great with (my dog) Rooster. He has a past that can make him a little nervous and anti-social and they were very patient with him.”
“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 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! ❤️”
About: I am a devoted animal person. I have had dogs and cats my whole life, and am experienced with puppies as well as senior dogs. I currently work remotely and have a flexible schedule. I am available for dog walking weekdays and some weekends. Open to special requests and needs. My home has a large doggie door which opens to large fenced in yard. Dogs come in and out as they please. Lots of play toys and special attention.
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.
“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 .”
“Sunny returned a very happy boy after getting to run around a beautiful property with lots of new friends. David was kind, responsive and flexible! Would love to have Sunny visit again when we're in the area :)”
“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.”
“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.”
“I recently enjoyed entrusting my pup with Krissy; she met all my expectations. I cannot recommend her enough for her exceptional care, attentiveness, and playful nature. From the moment I met her, I felt confident that my dog would be in excellent hands. One of the standout qualities of this sitter was her attentiveness. She genuinely cared about my dog's well-being and made sure to provide the utmost care at all times. She was incredibly observant and paid close attention to his needs, ensuring he was comfortable and happy throughout his stay. Communication played a vital role in my positive experience. She was incredibly communicative, keeping us updated regularly on my dog's activities, moods, and any notable changes. Whether through text messages, pictures, or videos, she made sure we felt connected to my dog even when I was away. This level of communication provided me with peace of mind and further reinforced my trust in her. She went above and beyond to understand his preferences, routines, and special requirements. She tailored her approach to accommodate his individual personality and made adjustments as needed. This level of adaptability truly sets her apart as an exceptional sitter. My experience with Krissy was nothing short of fantastic. If you're looking for a sitter who will go above and beyond to provide exceptional care for your furry friend, I wholeheartedly recommend her.”
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.
“Sarah was amazing with oso! She kept me updated on everything oso was up too. Would definitely recommend her and will use Sarah again in the future!! ? Loved that she sent the most adorable pictures of him❤️”
“Deborah did an excellent job of watching my fur baby, Chico. Being that he is elderly and usually only watched by family members, I was a little nervous. Deborah put me at ease and provided video updates throughout Chico’s stay. I would absolutely recommend her.”
“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!”
“Kaiel was amazing with our Bernese Mountain Dog, Bliss! We received pictures and great updates throughout Bliss’ stay. Kaiel worked with our schedule while we were in town and we are so grateful! We will definitely be reaching back out when we’re in town next!”
“Marina hosted Kora for one day and Kora fell in love with her. She is a very friendly and nice person . Kora enjoyed her stay at Marina’s house playing with other dogs. Thank you, Marina.”
