About: I’ve grown up with pets! I love snuggling with my dog and giving her love. I’ve watched my friends’ dogs, cats, and even collected some chicken eggs! I’m more than comfortable with animals and taking care of them. During the school year I take classes at the local Junior College a few times a week. During the Summer months I’m working on improving myself through hobbies at home. I take caring for my friends’ animals very seriously. It’s important that your pet is healthy, happy, and cared for even when you’re not around to.

“Gina is wonderful. When my husband and I are both at the office she walks our dog and gives our cat some loving”

“I needed help with walking the dogs, and checking in them while my partner was away for vacation for nearly a month, and with my long commute. Added onto the fact of being away from home 12 hours every week day. She did an amazing job, was on time, communicative, thorough, and just an absolute joy to work with. Our dogs instantly loved her with the meet & greet, and she went above and beyond every day we had her scheduled. I highly recommend booking with her, you won't be disappointed!”

About: I got my first dog, Duchess, my little mix (shih tzu, pekingese, west highland terrier) 15 years ago. During a family discussion about a pet, I was the only one who advocated for getting her but when my family and I laid our eyes on her, everyone got on board! I’ve been her main caregiver and I’ve enjoyed taking care of her from a young pup to becoming an older dog now. For her daily routine, I take her on a walk about 4 times a day for about 15 minutes. She’s a sniffer so we slowly walk along the neighborhood and I let her take her time on our excursions. It’s always a nice break to spend time with her and get a bit of exercise in. I’ve also enjoyed pet sitting for my aunt’s family. They have a two year old small white dog who has lots of energy. I love taking their dog, Peanut, on walks when they’re away and playing ball with him. It’s always a blast!

About: I am a life-long dog owner and lover. In the past few years I have helped raise multiple puppies and been a professional pet and house sitter. I have cared for dogs of all breeds and sizes, from teeny tiny to 130+ lbs ! I love going on walks in nature and making sure dogs get sufficient exercise and mental stimulation. And of course, lots of snuggles! I have experience with elderly and special needs dogs as well, including medication and special diets. I look forward to meeting your sweet pup! I am a musician who works from home so I have a lot of flexibility and time to pour into the animals I am caring for. Daily walks are my favorite! I treat every space I enter as sacred and care for it like my own. My home has 2 small dogs currently, so it is designed for their care and safety. I love to leave a space cleaner than when I found it! And bless it with positive energy, leaving you with a happy pet.

“Our dog Milo had a great walk with Kaity! She was on time and he was so excited to see her. Thank you so much for taking our pup on a great walk :)”

My schedule is very flexible and I would be able to accommodate most requests with specific times that could be required to care for your pet I have a fenced in back patio that would suit a small dog. I live near parks that would be fun to walk to and play at for them.

About: When I adopted my first dog he was a very scared dog. He is now very friendly and loves scenting challenges. I’ve used my skills to help others improve their relationship with their animals and created a trusting relationship to care for pets when their families are out of town. I have a flexible schedule that can be adjusted to meet your needs. I do prefer to include some time for an animal introduction for all new families. I have a strong history of animal care that meet the needs of my clients. Every pet is different and I am able to adapt and accommodate to different attitudes, schedules for feeding, medical care, walking and entertaining. I work to make sure pets are comfortable and clients return to the same feeling as if they just got home from work.

“Peggy is sooooo amazing. AMAZING, AMAZING AND AMAZING !!!! I have yet to meet a dog walker who treats someone else's pet like her own. Peggy went above and beyond by how attentive, caring, and loving she was. And Daisy simply adores her.”

About: I've been working with animals for years, and i am also a dog groomer. I've been trained and schooled on dog behavior, anatomy and so much more. I work early hours grooming and after work or on my free time I do walk neighbors pets and help a lot of elderly take care of their pets as well. Pet care is everyday for me. Most of the time I feed, walk, bathe and whatever else is asked or needed for each pet. Some do take medication as they are seniors and I help with that as well.

About: Passionate Animal Lover: My journey with dogs started at the young age of 5 when I had my first canine companion. Ever since then, my life has revolved around caring for and understanding these amazing creatures. Over the years, I have developed a deep bond with dogs and strive to provide them with the love and attention they deserve. Three Years of Dedicated Service: I have been proudly serving Sonoma County for the past three years, and will now be branching out to Marin County, providing dog walking and training services that prioritize the well-being and happiness of our four-legged friends. During this time, I have had the privilege of working with a diverse range of dog breeds and personalities, gaining valuable experience in handling various situations. Extending Services: Recognizing the demand for my services, I recently decided to extend my offerings to neighboring cities. I am eager to share my expertise and passion for dogs with more pet owners, ensuring that their beloved companions receive the best care and attention possible. Handling Challenges: As a dog owner myself, I understand that our furry friends may exhibit certain behavioral challenges. Leash pulling, reactivity, and aggression are not uncommon issues, and I have dealt with them effectively in the past. Through patience, positive reinforcement, and tailored training methods, I can help address and improve these behaviors, fostering a healthier and happier relationship between you and your dog. I would be delighted to meet you and your beloved canine companion for a free evaluation! 🐶 Thank you for considering me as a potential partner in your dog's journey to a happier and healthier life. I am looking forward to the possibility of working with you and your furry friend! During the summer I typically schedule walks in the morning or evening. This is because it gets so hot during the day that the asphalt can get to crazy high temperatures and possibly blister your pup's paws. Caring for pets' needs in the home requires attention, responsibility, and love. Food & Water: Provide your pet with a balanced and appropriate diet according to their species, breed, and age. Follow a regular feeding schedule and ensure access to clean, fresh water at all times. Exercise: Dogs and many other pets require regular exercise to maintain their physical and mental well-being. Take your dog for daily walks, play with them, or provide suitable toys and activities to keep them engaged. Healthcare: Schedule regular check-ups with a veterinarian to ensure your pet is in good health. Stay up-to-date on vaccinations, flea and tick prevention, and any necessary medications. Pet-Proofing: Make your home safe for your pets by removing hazards such as toxic plants, small objects that can be swallowed, and electrical cords that can be chewed. Social Interaction: Spend quality time with your pets and provide them with social interaction. Pets, especially dogs, thrive on companionship and human interaction. Enrichment: Offer mental stimulation through interactive toys, puzzles, and activities that challenge your pet's mind. Love and Affection: Show your pets love, care, and affection. Spend time cuddling, playing, and communicating with them. Training: Train your pets using positive reinforcement methods to teach basic commands, appropriate behavior, and reinforce good manners.

About: Hello! My name is Kiana. I am from Rohnert Park and I grew up with cats and a family dog and I now have my own young cat, who is the light of my life.

I use positive reinforcement techniques to build a trusting relationship. 🌸 Communication with Owners: I keep pet owners updated with regular messages and photos, ensuring transparency and peace of mind. 3.
