“Olivia is great with my four dogs- two super senior doodles and two bullies. The dynamic here can be challenging, but Olivia has been so good. She has awesome communication, she’s reliable, flexible, responsible and caring. Olivia is also an incredible artist and left us a beautiful hand-made card with our dog’s faces. We feel so lucky to have her help!”

About: I take dogs on trails and around the houses for moderate to long walks. I make sure they don’t get bored laying around the house. I like to go to the dog park. I provide affection to dogs. I have experience with big dogs, housesitting, dog sitting, cat sitting. Currently, I have 2 male cats. I had an Alaskan Malamute, Newfoundland, and Boston Terrier so I know that each dog has their own specific needs, but hyper dogs just need more exercise. I need information on how to much to feed them but the rest is mostly just personal information about your dog and cat and how much exercise they need. Thanks. I have a flexible work schedule and most days am done by 1pm or 2pm. My job is active and I lead an active lifestyle so I can keep up with dog walks and cat check-ins. I keep a close eye on the pet inside the home and listen to each direction very clearly. I ensure the animal’s needs are met.

About: I'm an experienced and dependable animal lover who has cared for pets, most of my life. I make sure every pet gets lots of love, attention, and wonderful care….and lots of rubs! I am currently working short hours mostly morning hours for a few weeks, during the week days. Then off for the summer, so I’ll have plenty time to care for your pet. I’m open on weekends. My home has a fenced yard and no other pets, so I can give your pet, all the attention they need! I can easily crate your dog if needed. I have 2 teenagers that come and go and love pets!

About: I've been surrounded by animals for as long as I can remember, growing up with a lovable dog named Marley (in my profile picture). At just 10 years old, I started walking dogs around my neighborhood, and that grew into a passion for pet care. While I’ve mostly catsat over the years, I’ve also had the unique experience of snakesitting! Whether furry, scaly, or somewhere in between, I love all animals and treat every pet like my own. My schedule is currently open and will be until this upcoming school year. My other passion is working with children and i’m planning to be a substitute teacher starting this fall! I grew up with the notion “leave the place better than you found it.” I’m very aware of leaving a clients home nice and clean. I’m not afraid of picking up pet messes and i’m very good at putting things back where I found them. I pay close attention to care instructions as I believe it’s important to keep a pet on their familiar schedule.

“Elliot was very responsive to messages and performed the drop in visits at the specified times. They even picked up the poop for us!”

About: Hi! I'm Sarah. I love all animals and like to give them the care and love they deserve! I’ve had pets all my life. I'm kind, positive, gentle, and calm. My patience and calm demeanor allow animals to feel very comfortable around me. I have experience giving cats subcutaneous fluids 3x/wk for 7 months, oral meds (liquid and pill form for 1.5 years), facials, baths, and showers. and I'm sensitive & observant to animals' needs. I do my best to understand animal behavior and what they're communicating. When I adopted my cats, Sparkles & Zorro, they truly adopted me as their mom. They were a few months old & I was 10. I was their person, and the only one Sparkles completely trusted. They passed in 2019 & 2024. My dad and I found and revived a young robin from a flood after a tornado. When I come across wildlife or strays in need, I will go to the ends of the earth to help. In college I had a zoology emphasis & interned at an exotic wildlife rehabilitation center. I have volunteered at a local animal shelter washing dogs, cleaning kennels, & socializing with cats & dogs. I also volunteered at a farm animal sanctuary. We began rescuing cats since the LA wildfires and I fostered one. With a positive attitude and a readiness to learn, I'd complete the tasks assigned, giving attention to the animals as I go along. After finishing my work on the sanctuary, I'd thoroughly socialize with the animals, spending time in different barns/rooms each week so that all, from pigs to cats, receive equal attention. My skills allow me to notice a creature in need of help and be an advocate until the animal is safe and/or in the right hands. In addition to being an animal-lover, I am a people-person who enjoys the camaraderie that comes with being part of a team. Sincerely, Sarah I'm currently looking for work and I'm an actress so I'll have plenty of time to care for your pets and treat them like my own. I will treat your pet as though they were my own. I will make sure they are properly cared for, this includes playing with them, quality time, feeding, and bathroom time.

“I used Gary while visiting town and needed someone to let my dogs out to potty. Gary was great with my dogs and the dogs enjoyed the visit.”

“Michelle is amazing! She did drop in visits for our cat while we were away for 2 weeks. She always sent updates and was super responsive. You can tell that Michelle loves animals! She even checked on our chickens for us to make sure that they had enough food. We are so grateful for her excellent care!! We will absolutely use Michelle again in the future!”

Michaela C.

“Siarra was flexible, provided clear communication, and gave thoughtful updates throughout the drop-in visit. She was easy to work with and I’d recommended her to others. Thanks for your help!”

About: I know how important routine and comfort is for pups when their human(s) go away. Staying consistent with the day to day norm is so important. I am committed to treating your dog the way you would while you are gone. A little more about me: I was born & raised in farm country with cows, horses, geese, chickens, cats, dogs ... you name it. I've been an animal lover from a young age and i've had / cared for horses, dogs, cats, rabbits, fish, birds etc. I started dog / house sitting in my late teens for friends and family. What sets me apart? Dogs of all sizes have stollen my heart but none more than the big breeds people often shy away from. I love Canes, Danes, Rotties, Pitties, Mastiffs, Dogos, Presas ... the bigger the dog the bigger the heart! Having been a mom to a papered Rottweiler as well as a Rottweiler rescue I can say no one dog is easier than another, they are all so unique and individualistic just like us. After rehabilitating and training my rescue Rottie to be a service dog I began helping others train their dogs as well (by referral only). It's been 1.5 years since my last Rottie love transitioned to the rainbow bridge and though I am not ready for another one of my own I do have the time and love to give to the pups of others. If there is anything else you'd like to know feel free to message me! My schedule is my own. I'm a self employed business development consultant. I help female entrepreneurs go from idea to launch and provide social marketing strategy post launch. Most of my work is done on my laptop & cell phone. I am committed to treating your dog the way you would while you are gone. I know how important routine and comfort is for pups when their human(s) go away. Staying consistent with day to day norms is key!

“Thank you Maureen another trip and not having to worry about our kitties because we know you are always on time and caring. We appreciated the photos of Dexter and Pistol so much. Your the best!”

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.

“Michaela is awesome. She is very communicative, courteous, and friendly. Her attention and commitment to our animals provides us with such peace of mind when we are away. 100 percent would recommend Michaela to care for your furry family members!”

About: I've always loved all animals, always caring for or begging my folks for another fur baby. I grew up on farm, then moved into town. I was active in FFA. All animals including wildlife have been a part of my life since I was born. Cows, chickens, goats, dogs, cats, birds, lizards, I even raised a baby squirrel. You name it I've probably have cared for it! I retired "young", so I have all time for your pets and mine! I'm available for long walks which my husband and I do daily for ourselves (sometimes twice a day). We love Spring lake and there is a lovely shady park near our home that has two dog parks We have a huge fenced yard and three indoor/outside cats to keep your fur baby company. Or, I can come to your house for potty breaks, play time, walks or pets.

“We are so lucky to have found Diego! He was so wonderful with our 2 dogs and just such a lovely human in general. He clearly loves animals and has a lot of knowledge when it comes to caring for them. He was even up for the challenge of caring for our new pup Nala who is very wary of meeting new people. He is successfully and gradually pulling her out of her shell. He was easy to communicate with, flexible and reliable. We will definitely be booking with Diego again. Thank you so much!”

About: I've had a way with animals that brings a calming energy throughout my life. As a young child I would call the bulls over and pet them on the head. The rancher would call my grandmother; stating I was on the fence again with the Bulls! Reiki is a way of calming and the energy knows what to do. I've worked with horses who are passing and calmed animals who are scared. Its in my nature to bring the intention of nourishing. loving, care to your pets. I work a flexible schedule as a Massage Therapist which allows me to also care for pets. I have worked with small and large animals from horses, pups ands felines. I follow the routines of the families, keeping the schedules I would want followed when my pets are being cared for. This includes their feeding, exercise, and sleep routines.
