Dog Sitters in Gualala, CA

My dogs ADORE Jessica and all the staff at House of Dogg. They jump out of the car and run to be with her. I know that they are in safe, loving hands whenever they are there, which sets my mind and heart at ease when I have to be away from my furbabies. She offers fun daycare and also overnight boarding (and even the option of homemade dog food when boarding!). It’s a treat… They come home happy and tired out from all the fun activities :) dogs have excellent instincts, and they trust Jessica, as do I!

Where to begin?! This place is doggone awesome, a dog paradise complete with pool, playground, safety & security and much more. The owner and staff however are the real stars of the show! My dog is a two year old Australian Cattle Dog and with a new baby at home he was very cautious of strangers. We had to go out of town and board him for 5 days total and HOD showed him so much patience and kindness that by day 2 he was finally settled down, even playing endless fetch. Jessica (owner) and Molly made sure he felt loved and knew we would be home. And when we finally DID come home, he had only benefited from the experience. He listened better to commands, could be counted on more not to zoom off if unleashed and maintained a healthy appetite. This could not have been achieved by a dog sitter. I cannot say enough about HOD!

House of Dogg, Inc. is a wonderful place to take your dog for the day or to board over night! We boarded our lab here for a week and we felt he was safe and well cared for. We received updates and pictures while we were away. The facility is clean and well designed. There are different areas for small and large dogs to play, sniff and explore. The dogs have access to enrichment activities and equipment! Oh, and I have to mention there is a “chuck-it” space for dogs like mine to run and fetch!! The owner, Jessica and her team have created a wonderful space for dogs! I highly recommend House of Dogg, Inc.! Take your dog there and check it out, they’ll love it!

We are so happy to have found House of Dog. Usually my doggo and I are inseparable and I never leave him w/ anyone. Jessica, on the other hand is such a dog whisperer. She made my doggo feel safe, comfortable and happy. I was confidant to leave him. Look at that face in the photo! My doggo was blissed out and 🥰 loving the pampering and attention at House of Dog.

I'm so impressed with what Jessica has created for our beloved dogs. My young golden retriever, Honey Bun, loves going there. I highly recommend House of Dogg!

This is one amazing place for any dog. Jessica and her team have created a playful, well planned, and above all, safe place for dogs of all sizes. The attention to detail is exhibited from romping/play areas to rest time areas on warmer days. Our seven-month-old girl comes home with a big grin on her face every day she is there. Jessica has a real eye for what’s on the minds of each of her dogs, and she will check in with owners on what she observes. We are so lucky to have House of Doggs in our community.

House of Dogg is a treasure. Our dog Ellie LOVES it there. She can barely contain her excitement when we drop her off. Jessica and her team are fantastic; they provide a loving, safe and fun environment.

House of dogg and the owner and her staff are awesome and I cannot recommend them enough. They are loving, caring, and know how to care of a variety of breeds, including my complicated husky/Gsd mix. They sent photos to ease my worries about leaving my girls, but honestly my dogs got a vacation too! Plenty of walks, rest, and happiness!

I can’t recommend this place enough - our pups have been all over the map with doggie day cares, home/dog sitting, and more - this is the place to be. Our lab got to enjoy a week long stay here, and he had an absolute blast! The owner was in contact throughout his stay keeping us posted on all, she went well above and beyond making sure he was well taken care of, and that we were enjoying our time away. We’re already planning our next visit!

I had to board my Bouvier de Flandres, on a emergency. While I was on my travels was able to arrange to have my dog overnight for 9 plus days at "House of Dogg" .. Well not only did the kind people at House of Dogg help me, they gave my dog the loving, care and kindness he so well disserves. This is now my go to place. I highly recommend them!

Fetch made is so easy to find a great sitter for our dogs. Ours dogs loved the company each night while we were out of town. Would highly recommend!

Fetch has become my go-to dog walking service over the past couple of years. It’s easy to schedule dog sitters and I’ve been able to use the same two wonderful walkers, giving me great peace of mind. Robyn, the owner, is wonderful to communicate with, and I’m also able to communicate directly with my dog walkers. The status reports with pictures and updates for each visit are so thoughtful and appreciated. Fetch is the best. I’ll keep coming back! 🎾

We had the most wonderful pet sitter through Fetch! She was so attentive and her updates were charming and detailed and so much fun for us to read - and the photos were fantastic! We were able to relax on our trip knowing our kitties were in very capable and conscientious hands. Cannot recommend Fetch more highly.

I’ve been a client of Fetch for several years and I would highly recommend them to any pet owner. We use Emily to visit our three cats and could not be happier. Prompt, professional, trustworthy. What else could anyone want.

Fetch is a truly great company with a wide variety of services, reliable and caring staff, quick response rates, and reasonable rates. I’ve used them for several years and have never had a problem.

Fetch! were a huge help when we were staying at Cavallo Lodge with our dog and needed someone to come to the hotel and stay with her on New Year's Eve. They found a perfect match for our pup. They were responsive and very professional and our sitter put us (and our pup) quickly at ease that our pup was in good hands. We would definitely use them again.

Fetch! Always takes care of our two cats! They always manage to fit us in with a pet sitter even at the last minute. Really helpful company. Would recommend highly.

We have used Fetch Pet Care for our 17 year old poodle. Because of her age she needs a little extra TLC. Fetch has proven very dependable and kind with out dog. They kept us posted while we were out of town how she was doing and contacted us with any questions. Our house was left in perfect condition and we came home to a very well cared for dog.

We moved to Sonoma 2 years ago and feel so lucky to have found our petsitter Lois, through Fetch. She's reliable, caring and easy to work with. Our two older cats now require medication and Lois has been very accommodating with their changing needs. Most importantly, the kitties are completely comfortable around her and we feel good knowing we've left them, and our home, in capable hands.

We have been using Fetch for many year to care for our cats while we travel. It has always been a great comfort to know that the pets we loved were being so well cared for. The daily journals and pictures we received showed are cats as active and happy. The litter is always clean when we return. In addition, our plants had been watered and mail taken in. Once, part of a tree fell in our yard, and the pet sitter texted us pictures, which allowed us to schedule tree service as soon as we got home. Our current pet sitter is a delight to work with. We sometimes think our cat is disappointed when we return. In short you could not do better than using Fetch for your petcare needs.

I have a lot of anxiety about leaving all my critters when I go out of town but I don't when I have Good Dogs to rely on. They are so thorough and so many times have gone above and beyond the call of duty. I can get updates from them to hear how it's going, which is very reassuring. They are responsible and trustworthy and I would highly recommend them to take care of any type of animal!

Good Dogs has been a life saver for drop in pet sitting. I have 2 dogs, and they are our babies, so I would not trust them to anyone. Scheduling services is easy, the team are great, communication is excellent, and I have always felt my pups were in good hands.

Was more than happy with Good Dogs! Dog Inky really liked being taken for walks by Brigid. Arrived on time every day - even brought the mail in!

My pups love Bridget and get so excited when her car pulls in the driveway. Highly recommend her.

I keep Brigid and Good Dogs Pet Sitting on speed-dial. Wouldn't let anyone else care for my greyhound.

Very happy with Brigid and team. Took care of our dog, Indi, and let us vacation with peace of mind.

Greatest pet sitters ever!

Thank you Orion! We enjoy caring for Hannah.

After boarding my little yorkie in kennels all around the area and always picking him up sick with kennel cough, or even a hurt leg, and taking weeks for him to unstress, I was very skeptical of everywhere. Just seemed no good solution for leaving him anywhere. I was referred to Christy, and was still skeptical until I met her and saw her place! She is so nice and her place is really clean and dog friendly! You can tell right away how great she is with dogs. She kept him for 10 days, and sent daily pictures and updates. I felt really good about where he was and how he was being treated. I picked him up and he was so healthy, happy and even bathed! So nice to be able to know I don't have to stress about going away anymore and what I will do with Max! Thank you so much Christy, you're a gem!

My two pups Bella and Bode just love Christina's pet care. They didn't want to leave when I came back to pick them up! I know they are in loving, caring hands when I drop off at Christina's. My highest recommendation !!!

Christina is fantastic! She took care of our large, energetic puppy, Charlie, for 8 days. This was my first time boarding a pet, so I had concerns. But Christina eased all of those right away. She was very quick to respond to my inquiry and asked all the right questions to learn about our puppy. While we were away, Christina sent pictures, videos and updates daily. She even made homemade food to add to Charlie's kibbles! Upon pick up, I could tell Charlie felt very comfortable with Christina and had had a great stay. She is the only boarder I will call next time we have a need.

This is Molly my puppy who spent 3 nights at Christina's pet sitting. Molly made new friends and enjoyed her time. Christina sent pictures every day of activities that Molly was involved in with other dogs and cats as the picture shows. I highly recommend Home Away From Home if you need a caring person to take care of your pet.

At first I was a bit apprehensive leaving my beloved dog with someone I did not know. However, upon meeting Christina and seeing the way she treats her own dogs and how clean her house is I felt very comfortable leaving him there for a few days. Christna is great and treated my dog extremely well. She sent pictures a few times every day and I could see that my dog was happy and well taken care of. I highly recommend Home away from home Christina pet sitting. Everything was great!

I highly recommend Home Away from Home, Christina's Pet Sitting and I would give her 10 stars if I could. Right away when I contacted Christina I could tell that she was very professional and cares a great deal about animals. Before my Mia came for the weekend we arranged for a meet and greet to make sure my dog would get along with her pets. Luckily, all went well. Mia had a great time at Christinas and she sent me daily pictures and updates which I truly appreciated. The name of her business accurately describes that it is a "home away from home" for your pet.

Our dog needed a sitter for one night at short notice. Christina was super flexible and helpful. It was the first time in our dog's life to spend a night without us. At 5 months old, he and Christina did a great job. The next day we picked him up safely. He was a little intimidated, but that was certainly due to the unfamiliar situation. Payment was made in advance. Everything went smoothly and in a friendly manner. If we need a dog sitter again, we turn to Christine.

Initially I was hesitant on the idea of boarding at a non traditional kennel facility, but boy was I wrong. My two fur children got the 5 star hotel resort and spa treatment. Christina is an absolute amazing sitter here in clearlake at Home away from home. Christina was extremely welcoming and showed me around her house and where the dogs would be staying. I was very pleased with how she was welcoming to my dogs who have never stayed in another persons home before. She sent updates throughout the stay, and plenty of pictures that made my work day go by quicker. She was extremely thorough and required all paperwork of current vaccines for both of my dogs which again, showed me that she was very careful and mindful of illness that may arise from not having vaccinated pets. When I came to pick them up, she even included a complimentary doggy dinner that she makes organically at home. I was so pleased with my dogs stay that we have decided to board with her weekly. Christina was an absolute delight and my pets had a great time! 5 stars!

Need someone to watch your animal while you are away? Want someone who will care for your dog just like you would? Want your dog to stay in a clean home with someone who loves animals? Christina is the person you need! Christina took excellent care of my dog while we were on a 3 week vacation. She loved him, walked him, made him homemade dog biscuits, and texted us daily with pics and told us how their day went. Don't take your dog to a kennel, take them to Christina and know that your loved one is safe and happy while you are away.

I am a travel, nurse and work long hours at the hospital. I’m usually gone for 13 hours at a time, and am always needing a place to take my puppy when I work. Christina’s house has truly become my dog”s home away from home! Driving to Christina‘s house on a work day is what my puppy’s, Juniper favorite thing! She jumps into the car and wiggles all the way there. Juniper runs straight from the car to the door and rushes through the door when it’s opened!. If she could turn around and say to me how much she loves it here I think she would. But how happy she looks says it all!!!!

There are not enough word to express the gratitude and love Rocky and I have for our Auntie Trish. She is an absolute dog whisperer. Rocky was a difficult dog. He was never difficult with his Auntie Trish. I was able to travel leaving him with her knowing he was in the best of hands always. She is so amazing she has a spot in our first and second book. Rocky recently crossed the Rainbow Bridge. Auntie Trish still remains as part of our adventure. She is amazing.

My dog has been going here for yours. Trish is wonderful and so caring. I know my dog is being cared for when he is with her!

Trish is the best! Velma and I absolutely love her!

Excellent care for my pup.

This lady is a saint!

Teddy 98 pound 2 year old Labrador had never been boarded. We took Teddy to Paradise Pet Resort and Teddy was excited to meet all the employees. We took the tour and Teddy wanted to play right away. Teddy had a free evaluation day before we boarded him overnight. Teddy had so much fun - he had played so hard he was exhausted. Teddy spent 3 nights at Paradise Pet Resort. Teddy enjoyed every minute he was there. It feels good to know Teddy is on vacation too.

My girl loves Daycare here!! She has the best time with all the dogs and always comes home tired and happy. I have a hard time getting her out the door because she doesn't want to leave! I love watching her play on the cams. Staff is kind and the rates are the best in town.

I love this place. We have two boxers. One is two years old the other 9. We use lodging for both and play time for younger one. Our older one is dog aggressive and they are fantastic about keeping him separate and doing add on solo dog walks when we lodge. The share a room which is great as that’s what they are used to. Pet play house is so accommodating with doing complex medication schedules. More than anything, the way they treat our dogs like their own is why we use their service. We highly recommend their service, EVERY staff member we have dealt with is excellent - 10 out of 10!!!!!

Best pet resort in Santa Rosa. My dog has stayed there many times. I really trust them. They’re really good with their dogs and Fritz .

I had concerns about leaving our dog for doggy daycare. We had never put her in one before. She seems to have adjusted to going there. I feel comfortable letting her stay there. Thanx Jennifer for making it easy for us,and Stormy especially.

"Dogs get sick" and "Kennels are stressful." This is the answer I received when dismayed that my healthy vibrant corgi developed serious illness during his short stay at Pet Paradise. Left him there on Friday night, and he was vomiting, disoriented and lethargic by Sunday morning. Staff at the front desk had no information when we picked him up, and didn't bother to tell me my dog was sick until AFTER I paid the $100 tab for 2 nights. (I did not receive the Sunday AM voicemail they left until long after I collected my dog.) Later, by phone, the site manager expressed absolute indifference to the situation -- "Kennels are stressful" and "dogs get sick," Marylin said, after talking over me repeatedly to emphasize that they did "all they could" by simply calling us on Sunday morning. My sick dog was given no special attention, he was not isolated from the rest of the dogs for his or their safety, and he was left to sit unbathed after being discovered covered in his own vomit when they found him in the morning. He was a wreck! The LEAST they could do is apologize and act like they care at all for my dog, who has been going there for short stays for years now. I incurred a $176 vet bill to learn that my dog had eaten something toxic while there (likely another dog's poop) and the owner (who will not call me and makes Marylin do all of his communicating for him) will neither refund the hefty cost of our dog's stay nor compensate us for the vet bill that was 100% attributable to the negligence of his staff. DON'T SEND YOUR DOGS TO THIS EXPENSIVE DIRTY KENNEL RUN BY FOLKS WHO WON'T TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR UNSAFE CONDITIONS!

It's all about the care they show for your precious pet. They require a screening visit to observe your pet with the pups. They gave us a swag bag following the screening visit and our pet adopted the plush toy immediately. Real time video is available on an app on your phone. It is great to be able to visually check on your loved ones. We are confident in the level of care they provide.

Our Ryder is about 2 years old. He’s a rescue and full of energy. It’s been many years that we’ve had a young dog. We decided to put him in doggie daycare to get his energy out. Oh my gosh it works. I like that I can watch him play. He never stops. Everyone at Paradise Pet Resort is so nice and cares for the dogs.

I was stunned when I picked up our Neufoundland, she was so unbelievably beautiful. We finally hit the jackpot with Paradise Pet Resorts & Grooming, especially with Lana. She is a "Grooming Goddess" extraordinaire! She worked with our pet who is older and being a large breed, has some pain issues. For the first time ever, our dog did not collapse in pain when we got her home, the way she did with previous groomers. In some miraculous way, Lana had the patience and insight to work on her for THREE HOURS making her look, act and behave brand new. She was able to move freely the next day, too. Thank you Paradise Pet Resort for being such an awesome and happy place for dogs and for employing such incredible, professional employees, especially Lana!

They are very good with the dogs. My dog is very frightened and they usually just wrap him up in a warm blanket and keep him calm. Some people tell me that their dogs love going to the place but my little dog has separation issues.

We’ve taken our Pomeranian to Gina at Four Paws for nearly 2 years since he was a puppy. We’re always happy with his specialty “teddy bear” cut. We’ve recommended Giur Paws to several friends.

We just love Bernadette in the Grooming area. She is so thoughtful and so good with our 2 dogs. She always goes above and beyond to help them. She is such a Great person... Joyce & Dave Sunderman

Dear 4 Paws Team, I just wanted to say how much we love bringing our dog to 4 Paws! Everyone is super friendly and it’s clear that you all love your job. Our dog comes home exhausted from playing all day, which is fantastic. The location is great, and the facility with its open field is wonderful. Thank you for taking care of our furry friends Best regards,

We absolutely love 4Paws Pet Ranch! We return for Joe’s hair cut every 3 months or so. They are great with the dogs and excellent stylists. I highly recommend them to everyone who loves their dog and wants them to look their best! They also have fantastic boarding services if you need to leave your baby behind for a few days!

Our super-energetic pup lives for Four Paws! We take him most work days and are incredibly thankful for the care and exercise he receives there. Without this outlet, I’m not sure we could have survived him and he might not have developed into the cool dog he is now…he’s awesome, but still a handful! Great staff loves him, and that makes us all happy!

I’ve been using Four Paws for over 25 years and I’ve always enjoyed their friendliness and kindness, and I know that they take care of my dogs

I took my cat, Trout, here. They made it as pleasant as such an experience can be. I expected Trout to be traumatized, but when I let her out in the car - aside from loving on me for the first five minutes and then going back into her travel bag and growling at me for leaving her for a hot second - she was all cuddles immediately after. She made friends with the staff, they are all excited to see her come back. The hardest part was signing the standard release form. But it worked for boarding in a pinch. Trout wasn't traumatized at all. <3 Bring your paperwork!

Four Paws Pet Ranch is a wonderful place. Dragon loves his daycare with his doggy pals. Boarding is very good. I've only been a client for a year, but I have friends who've taken their dogs for many years. Highly recommend.

This is where I got my PJ from. When I met him, he was totally wild . He would not let you approach him or pet him. He would not go anywhere on a leash. Amanda, who worked there at the time was very helpful in making the transition. He is now the cutest, sweetest most wonderful little dog I’ve ever had.

I’m not sure what all goes on at Four Paws Pet Ranch when I board my dogs but they get SO excited when we arrive! They start talking and can’t sit still. I literally never hear them talk any other time! Four Paws Pet Ranch has always been so great to my dog reactive rescue mix. He was unable to be boarded with other dogs and could even climb chain link fences, so they had a specific kennel they could keep him in. My family lives in GA and sometimes I have had to travel back and visit. I once got sick and had to extend my stay an extra 10 days….They took care of both my pups and helped put one part of an otherwise awful trip at ease. These people are the best! Can’t recommend them enough!

Fit N Furry is Lucy Loo’s home away from home. She loves her play days with friends and comes home all tuckered out. She also enjoys her sleepovers and we rest easy knowing she’s in the best of hands when we are away. Lucy Loo is a rescue from Mexico and gets very anxious around strangers. Her people friends at Fit N Furry treat her with such love and care. Can’t say enough good about the people and the place. They also have lots of fun events for the various holidays. We LOVE Fit N Furry.

We recently got a puppy and had to start over with a vet, training, and day care/boarding once in a while. We heard about FNF through a friend and gave them a try when we went to Disneyland. Our 6 month old Aussie Doodle isn't trusting of everyone. He definitely felt comfortable with the people at FNF immediately. It made a huge difference for us. We didn't have to worry about him. We got to enjoy the trip. They sent us pictures of him and updates the whole trip. It really put our mind at ease. He was well cared for and we could tell he wasn't stressed out etc. We will be continuing to give our business to FNF, even though there are other places that are more convenient and closer to us. Worth the drive 100% *Picture attached is one of the pics they sent to us as an update.

My big, deaf-from-birth, formerly stray dog thrives at FitnFurry. He was traumatized on the street as a pup and has issues with people and dogs, but at Fit he gets individualized attention, solo play in special sessions, and great care! The staff are terrific and he loves going there to stay.

It has been just about 3 weeks since we picked up our precious Lab Hope after her 18 day boarding/training course and her transformation has been amazing! This was a frightened timid and shaking dog that hid behind us when we arrived for her free consultation. We were assured that she would gain experience, confidence and skills while under their care. We journeyed of to Hawaii for a couple of weeks and received pictures and ongoing details of how her training was progressing. Today, the moment of truth came for us when we had visitors in our home, strangers to her. She laid down calmly, never barked, never got worked up, and when I put her on her leash to go for a walk, she sat calmly as she observed the strangers with not one ounce of negative fear or reaction. We went for our walk and she returned home just as calm as can be, all while my brothers dog barked uncontrollably at the strange voices. Marie has done a phenomenal job with Hope, and on her return visit, she was just as happy as can be returning to see Marie and her friends that she made at Fit & Furry. I have already referred several friends to Fit and Furry and I highly recommend their training courses. The transformation is so worth it! I was fortunate to be able to plan in advance and make payments prior to the training so that it was much easier to manage the cost of training, but I would not hesitate to do it again. Thank you Marie and staff on behalf of Hope and our grateful family! You are one in a million!!! Hope thinks so too!! Here is a picture of Hope and her little friend Sasha who was also once shy and Hope helped her to come out of her shell. Just Amazing Hope!!!

I can’t say enough about how wonderful Fit ‘N’ Furry is. My dog loves going to daycare, the groomer is excellent as well as the training staff. I have boarded my dog multiple times at Fit ‘N’ Furry because they take such good care of my dog. The training staff are always available when I have questions and they are absolutely wonderful. I highly recommend taking your pet to Fit ‘N’ Furry for all their services!!

Wanted to start our new pup with a good daycare, lodging experience. Went to puppy play - well managed and then to lodging. Our girl is happy to meet all her new friends and played out by the time she comes home. They even gave her a bath after she got too messy! Loving Fit n Furry- hope your furball feels that same!

We adopted a Dachshund mix puppy. We boarded him at Fit 'N" Furry and the service and care he received was excellent. The facilities are clean while the staff is welcoming and professional. In addition to boarding him, we engaged their trainer, Marie, to work with him. She not only trained him, but she trained us. She was insightful as to what our puppy’s needs were, the breed characteristics, developmental stages, etc. Our dog is now a 1 year adolescent and she continues to provide us with evaluation, problem solving, and setting expectations and goals. Marie is an outstanding, thoughtful, experienced, and caring professional. We strongly recommend.

Our dog Luna had a great time at Fit N Furry. We had to board her for the first time while out of town and she had a blast playing with the other dogs! She was provided house kibble and treats and we felt like she was in good hands. We even got a picture sent to us during her stay. The staff is friendly and professional. We will be back for sure!

We cannot recommend Fit n Furry’s training program enough! Marie has been our savior in getting our pup to actually be a member of the family and not just a little monster all the time. We continue to bring our dog in for daycare and the staff is always super friendly and helpful and our dog loves to go! If your dog is a little monster like ours was, fit n furry is the place to go!

I was very impressed by Fit ‘N’ Furrys customer service, and doggy day care’s staff and trainers. They were warm and welcoming every step of the way. When I came to pick up my pup after her first day of day care I was presented with a professionally taken photo of her (it is by far the best photo I have of her!) and a report card that was thoroughly filled out to inform me of my pups mood throughout the day in addition to handwritten notes on her actual performance throughout the day. I highly recommend!

Cool

They took great care of my zoo while I was out of town. My dog & cat loved them and it was a great relief to not have to worry about them during my trip. We had some miscommunication about dates (probably my fault!) and they immediately responded and visited twice more than they had planned. Even left me a very nice welcome home flower and card. I would recommend them in a heartbeat.
