About: More than just walks and feeding, I can provide simple puppy training and care to fun stimulation for adult dogs to adoring care for your old best friend. Same with kittens and cats! Playing and litter scooping and whatever is needed. Let me love on your fur babies the way I would love on mine! Overnight stays at your house are available or daily visits as needed. My rates can be modified, depending on your pets’ specific needs. I have a very flexible schedule as Pet Care is my primary focus. I also work part-time with Pets Lifeline (Sonoma’s local no kill shelter) as a humane educator in their after school education program. I currently only offer care at client homes. In rare occasions, I may be able to accommodate boarding at my place of residence. Case by case.

About: I've grown up with dogs throughout my entire life, but I've recently moved out of my parents house as I'm pursuing my undergraduate degree at UC Davis. My dogs have moved to Italy, and I miss them a lot. Also, I am also looking to earn some money to put towards my education and my future. So, taking care of your pets is a win-win! I have years of experience raising puppies, spending time with feisty kittens, taking care of senior dogs, and playing with pets of all activity levels—from mellow to boundless energy. My approach to pets is to meet them where they are at by understanding their behavioral cues. Each pet has a different personality that comes with unique physical and emotional needs, and I will prioritize understanding and addressing those. I will make sure your pet feels respected and comfortable in my care. Also, your trust in me is of utmost importance. I know that it takes a lot to have someone you don't know well look after your pet. I will prioritize communication, sending photos and updates, so you have peace of mind! I appreciate your trust! I have finished school, and I am currently on summer break! I have a very open schedule, so I can care for your pet any day of the week. I enjoy spending time outdoors daily and staying active, so I am also available for dog walks. I know many dog-walking spots around Sonoma County because I grew up here with dogs I walked regularly, including fenced-in runs, short walks, or big open spaces, depending on your dog's needs. I have a fenced-in back and front patio, and I can crate your pet as well. I do not have any pets in my home at this time. I can take your pet outside to a beautiful open-space walk being just a step outside. If your pet enjoys a swim, I am a short drive from the Glen Ellen reservoir, and I would be happy to take him or her there! I am also prepared to take care of pets with high activity levels who need daily runs in open space.

About: As a fur mom myself, I treat other pets as if they were my own. I have two dogs and a cat. Two of them are seniors and I've had them since they were young. I believe in training basic commands, positive enforcement, and lots of snuggles. When I'm not pet sitting, I'm hanging out with my pups outside while they get their zoomies out. I'm comfortable with excited pups, counter surfers, and shy pups. We all have our quirks! I take care of our 3 pets (2 dogs, 1 cats) and their care is my top priority on my day to day. Feeding, training, and getting the zoomies out. I like to keep the dogs routine as much as possible. Some dogs can get anxious when someone new is introduced and I find it's best to keep things as simple and normal as possible.

About: Hi there! We are Marcus and Gina and we are the ultimate dog lovers. We live in Sonoma and enjoy taking advantage of our beatiful contryside and parks. Our home also offers indoor/outdoor space to sprawl out when he/she is worn out. We have 2 children who love dogs and have took ownership on how to take good care of our furry friends. The adults will always be present and responsible, but we do like that our kids have an opportunity to interact with more animals. We do have a dog of our own. He is a well-behaved, 20lb terrier mix that loves to snuggle and relax after a long walk and play! He gets along with pretty much every dog. We have been sitting friends and family's dogs for many years which led us to trying out rover when living in the Bay Area. We're looking to make this more established in Sonoma since we both work from home and could use the breaks in the day... We also think this would be a great business for our family and kids. Look forward to meeting you and your little ones! We both work from home and ahve a young family. We feel pet sitting and helping other families in our community offers a variety of benefits for us. First, it offers a break in the day from starring at our computers. Second, offers our children opportunities to interact with other animals. Finally, get to know others in town who love their pets We respect all wishes and rules with the upmost integrity. We believe it's important to communicate with our customers, provide updates and phots through the day. Finally, we can make adjustments to specific needs as long as they are clearly identified.

“I can only say great things about Gabriel! On pretty short notice, Gabriel was able to walk my 2 small dogs for 10 days. He clearly loves dogs & they loved him. He is very reliable & attentive to the dogs needs. I won’t hesitate to hire him again.”


About: I’ve taken care of many dogs over the past 6 years! Anywhere from as little as chihuahuas and multipoos to golden retrievers and husky's! I have a dog of my own who is a golden retriever that I see as my child. ** I can sit dogs that are not neutered or spayed. However, I will not take in both at the same time. Therefore, if I’m already sitting a dog that is not spayed, I won’t be able to take in a dog that is not neutered on those days and vice versa! I work part time but my work schedule is all over the place. I can usually be very flexible especially if I’m working night shifts Your pets will always be taken care of with me :) I have a spacious backyard that has a fence, of course! I also have a wonderful neighbor for walks and a dog park that is walking distance

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was young. Growing up with dogs, they make the entire day better! All dogs are welcomed any day. I do have my own young rescue dog, Gus, who is the friendliest guy, loves friends, people, and is a great play mate! I currently work from home, so I am able to be present with my dog, and any friends that decide to join us! We love walks throughout the day, as well as hanging out in the backyard to play! We have a larger fenced backyard where the dogs are happy to roam, play, and sniff all over. There is also a dog door where they are able to roam free in and out as they choose!

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my whole life and I miss going on walks with my old dogs. I would love the opportunity to spend my time and go on walks with some in the neighborhood!

I can take care of your pet(s) at your home or drop in and take them for walks, feed them, and give them all the love they need.


“Cathleen handled my two labs with love and care. She exudes a very calm nature and my dogs in a first walk without me had a great time. Cathleen is kind, caring and is energetic and is great in handling big dogs. We can hardly wait for our next time with her!”



“Christiana was absolutely wonderful during her time with Dory. I booked her for a walk and got no less than three pictures and updates during and after the walk. I have never felt more comfortable with my dog in the care of another person. If I could give more than a five star rating, I would have. I cannot wait to use her spectacular services again!”

Gillian O.
“I truly don’t know what we’d do without Gillian—she’s become such a special part of our lives (and our dogs’ lives!). She watches our two Cavalier King Charles Spaniels weekly, and not only does she walk and feed them, she genuinely loves them like they’re her own. I trust her completely in our home—whether it's for daily visits or when she house/pet sits while we travel. She always sends the sweetest updates and photos, which bring me so much peace of mind. Her attention to detail, warmth, and deep love for animals is so clear in everything she does. I’ve referred her to my own family and they adore her, too. We are forever grateful to have her—she’s the kind of person every pet parent dreams of finding. 💛”
