Cat Sitting Woodleaf

About: I’ve had dogs since I was 5 years old. I have experience with both small and large breeds. It will be all love and play that your furbaby won’t even notice you’re gone! I work full time on weekdays (11am-6pm), with a 30 min commute, and am available early mornings and evenings. On weekends I am free almost all day. I have a dog at home and cannot care for more at my place due to limited space. I am happy to care for others at their home.

“Cecilia did a great job looking after my cat. She was communicative throughout and sent beautiful photos daily. Cecilia treated my cat not only with excellent care, but also with a love in my absence. I would definitely recommend her and will gladly hire her again.”

“When we got home our cats seemed as happy as can be. We could tell they were well taken care of by Stacie. We will definitely use her again. Highly recommended.”

“Cambryel Is a dog whisperer. My dog who gets easily overexcited was completely relaxed immediately when he met her the first time. Then she came back for the second time when I wasn't home to see how he would be, and he was again very mellow. She has a calming presence for super active dogs, like doodles, and also experience with the more energetic breeds.”

Cris E.

“Siarra was amazing and went above and beyond to care for our two kitties. She was super communicative and even sent pictures of our cats every day - I highly recommend her!!!”

Hailey F.

“Emily did a great job visiting our shy kitty. She was friendly, prompt, and followed our very detailed instructions! I'd be happy to work with her again.”

About: I have experience caring for and walking my family and friends’ dogs for 10 years. I have experience with reactive dogs. I understand that every dog is unique and that each dog has different needs. I am familiar with dog CPR. I am no stranger to administering medication to dogs. I am free after 4pm on Monday-Friday. On weekends I am free from 7am-9pm. If needed, we can arrange earlier or later appointment times. Thanks! I can stop by at your home to check in on your furry friend(s) and make sure that they have plenty of food and water in their bowls, as well as give them ample time to go to the bathroom prior to completing the check in. I can provide 30 min-1 hour walks, or stimulate/play with your dog(s) for 30 min-1 hour in the safety of your home yard or nearby dog park.

“Maggi is a life saver! Literally neeed someone within 3 hours and she saved the day! She sent me photos and kept me updated. I’m definitely gonna book her again! Mahalo!”

About: I am a big dog lover and a proud pet parent to two dogs (Dude, goofy but lovable chocolate lab and my princess Gracie, a King Charles Cavalier and a sweet senior cat Zuzu.), so caring for animals is already part of my everyday life. My pets are truly my babies so I know what it means to have someone you trust to treat them like family! I have adopted senior dogs in the past as well so I have experience with older / special needs dogs too. I work from home most days - for drop ins mornings and nights for drop ins are better for me but I can do lunchtime drop ins. I have a fenced in yard in both the back and front yard on a safe small private lane. I do not allow pets outside unsupervised!

“Peter was very patient and compassionate with my reactive dog. He has a lot of knowledge and understanding of behaviors and went above and beyond to make her comfortable. He clearly wants to ensure the best possible experience for you and your pet.”

About: I am a dog and cat lover with one dog of my own! I’ve grown up with dogs and cats in my family and have taken care of pets for neighbors and aunts over many years. I’m 20 and currently working part-time and a student at Santa Rosa Junior College, but I still have free time on my hands each week. I’m looking for some extra fun work with animals! My dog at home has a large fenced in backyard and gets walks twice a day. I will cater to the client’s needs based on their pet.

“Sally did a great job . She showed up consistently and even watered my plants . She got my two couch potatoes to play a bit too. She communicated well and sent pictures daily . My kitties are rescue kitties and can be shy but she treated them with warmth.”

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was a young girl. One thing that will never get old is the bond you can create. I have worked with senior dogs, second chance animals in shelters, and even new born puppies. I have time and time again helped my friends and family train and look over their dogs. I work as a starbucks barista! My shift are usually short so I have more time for your pets! They are also very good about my availability! My pets at home are my babies. I always give them treats and make sure no matter what time I get home they have enrichment time.

About: Working with animals brings great joy to my heart, feeling very intuitively attuned to their needs and wants. Also taking good care of the owner. Currently I have quite an open schedule to care, walk,sit or to board pets. 2-4 days a week I volunteer at a couple of animal sanctuaries with a flexible schedule depending on things. Pets would be given the utmost care and attention here at my home or at the owners. I am comfortable with pets on couch and even to snuggle in bed with me too. Your pet would be cared for as if it were my very own, with lots of love.

About: I love animals more than people! Been petsitting all my life. First to offer my friends and neighbors to be Auntie to their little muffins. I owned a petsitting and dog training business in Portland for many years... had to move and change jobs but I still love having as many furfriends as possible! I consider myself very intuitive and always respect a pets boundaries. Listening is key and watching for body language. I will take the very best care of your home and pet!! Just like they were my own. I work for myself and have a very flexible schedule. I can work around what works best for you. Great at time management and super reliable. I prefer sitting at my clients homes and have extensive experience with housesitting alone. I have managed luxury homes and can offer extra things like plant watering, mail pickup, coordinating with staff, etc.

About: I’m the lady who crosses the street to ask if I can pet your dog. I love all dogs, but big dogs have my heart. I confess, I’m also the lady that will remember your dog’s name, age and origins, but perhaps not always your name. Although I have the confidence and experience to befriend your big dogs, that shouldn’t suggest that I don’t love our smaller friends, as well. Big and small, I love them all❣️ I’ve been responsible for animals most of my life. Chiefly, I’ve had the privilege to care and own big dogs. Growing up, we had a Sheppard-Mastiff mix, and that’s when my love for big dogs began. In our house, we had a macaw, cockatoo, kākāriki, ring-necked parakeet, and a cockatiel, tropical/ saltwater fish, dogs, and cats. I continue to be a proud breed ambassador and have owned 4 Rottweilers over the years. I’ve been gainfully employed as a civil servant for 25 years. After my last Rottweiler passed away, I wanted to care for a dog again, but haven’t adopted quite yet. I enjoy hiking, outdoor activities, walking and traveling, and of course dogs! I’ve had the privilege to care for our misunderstood and sometimes reactive dog friends, as well. All dogs deserve love. I helped welp Belgian Malinois puppies and ensure they found loving, deserving homes. I joke that, “If the choice was between world peace or puppies, I would choose puppies.” I can’t wait to meet your doggie! Since I’m a civil servant, my schedule is consistent. I have free nights and 3-day weekends. I enjoy a lot of free time that I would like to fulfill with dogs. I have a secured, fenced yard. I can also kennel your pets as well. My responsibility to you is ensuring your family member is secure in my charge.

About: I am regularly trusted to walk, bathe, feed & accompany pets of all types, for family & friends when they're away. I am comfortable caring for multiple pets in the same household. I really enjoy being active outdoors & have a large vehicle to accommodate doggos of all sizes. With my caring nature I am able to adapt to the needs & character of the animals in my care. I'm currently working part-time & volunteering alongside this whilst also exploring several new hobbies. Presently I can offer great flexibility with my availability across all 7-days of the week so happy to discuss a schedule which works best for all of our lifestyles :) With this app I hope to help pets keep comforts of their familiar environment whilst their families are away, providing personalised care & companionship. I am highly reliable, prioritise the safely & joy of your much loved pets & enjoy building trust with animals to encourage their peace in your temporary absence.

About: My name is Nicole. I have been an animal lover since I was old enough to know what animals were. Between catching potato bugs, feeding the spiders in my windowsills, and moving worms off of sidewalks, I’ve always had a particular connection with the animals that most people don’t understand. As soon as I was old enough, I marched off to the Sonoma County Animal Services to volunteer. From there, it was love at first bark. When I turned 18, I immediately went to animal care as my first real job and was lucky enough to work at Rohnert Park Animal Services for several years. I opened my home to many different rescue critters including snakes, tortoises, rats, lizards, and birds. I rescued my first dog and she is still my best friend to this day 10 years later! Over the years, I was blessed to foster many different exotic animals and worked with the Sacramento SPCA through the pandemic. Shortly after, I made a huge cross-country move and ended up in Louisiana working with all kinds of critters at Northshore Humane Society. From there, I ended up back in my hometown of Sonoma County. Throughout all of these changes, the one variable that never changed was my love for animals and passion for making sure they were safe. Through my 8+ years of shelter experience I have worked with the most feral of feral cats, wildlife brought in shoeboxes, all sizes and shapes of dogs, and so much more. I have met and befriended many pets that were reluctant to be befriended and worked with virtually every breed of cat and dog on the planet. I am fear-free certified and have extensive experience with medication management, basic first-aid, canine CPR, and basic training for both dogs and cats. I am experienced with walking large breeds including reactive dogs and can handle heavy pullers (I have TWO huskies!). I have also volunteered with the Bird Rescue Center of Sonoma County and have a special skillset with exotic animals. My two personal rescue dogs are half husky and bully breed which are two of the most misunderstood dog breeds, so there will be no breed discrimination from me. My favorite furry friends are often shy, tricky to befriend, or nervous. Making a scared baby comfortable means the world to me and I love the challenge. As stated above, I also have extensive experience caring for exotic pets including rats, mice, birds, snakes, tortoises, turtles, fish, lizards, invertebrates, and spiders. I am perfectly comfortable with your exotic pet’s diet and am familiar with feeding snakes and other reptiles frozen-thawed rodents. The only animals I won’t consider petsitting for are species that are illegal to own or venomous. If I had to summarize my truest passion, it would be making sure that every single animal feels safe and comfortable. Even if they’re not perfect, they all deserve kindness and patience. We don’t expect perfection from humans, but we so frequently expect it of animals. So if your pet is a little bit quirky or one of those types that gets dismissed as “scary” or “mean”, you’ve found a person that will give them exactly what they need to feel loved and cherished. Because no pet is perfect, but they are perfect for you. My promise to you is that I will do my best to be your baby’s new BFF. No pet sitter will truly replace you, but I will make sure that I’m the second-best thing. I work from home as an administrative assistant for my husband's guitar studio, so I have a flexible schedule to meet your specific needs. I have access to a reliable car and am happy to do multiple drop-ins so your buddy is comfortable all day long. My motto is that ALL animals deserve humane, kind, and compassionate care. My 16 years in animal shelters has gifted me with experience handling virtually every type of pet of all different shapes, sizes, personalities, and needs. I am certified in fear-free training and utilize positive reinforcement only. I'm passionate about cooperative care and ethical handling no matter the circumstances. I understand that every pet is different and will learn how to make your best bud feel comfortable, safe, and loved.

“I recently had the pleasure of having Erik take care of my energetic duo, Beau and Jet, and I couldn’t be more thrilled with the exceptional service he provided. From the moment I met Erik, I knew my fur babies were in good hands. Erik went above and beyond in every aspect of pet sitting. He not only ensured that Beau and Jet were well-fed and content, but he also took the time to engage with them, providing playtime that kept their spirits high. One of the highlights of Erik’s service was the beautiful photos he captured of Beau and Jet. Erik’s communication skills were outstanding. He regularly sent me updates on Beau and Jet, reassuring me of their happiness and safety. This level of communication not only put my mind at ease but also demonstrated his professionalism and is top choice for pet owners seeking peace of mind while they are away Thank you, Erik, for your outstanding care of Beau and Jet. You truly are a gem in the world of pet sitting!”
