About: I have had an array of pets my entire life. I am a true animal lover! I even grew up breeding, training and showing dogs with my Mom. Currently I have 9 fur babies who are my best companions. They love new friends, are up for new adventures and are very sweet and social butterflies. I would love to care for your well mannered fur baby while you are away or just need a day here and there for walks, etc. Note: For boarding in our home we require your fur baby is well mannered, potty trained and gets along with both cats and other dogs. My schedule is pretty flexible most of the time and I enjoy being home with all the fur babies! My home is very spacious and fur baby friendly! I have a large safe open area for daytime play as well as plenty of room for cozy cuddles at bedtime. I typically allow all fur babies on couches and beds as well.
“Sonya does an excellent job! Not only is she great with my crazy pup, her background in animal nutrition has been an invaluable resource as I am working to improve my dogs diet. I appreciate her availability and wonderful care!”
About: I have been an animal lover my entire life. I am 52 years old and began walking my neighbors' dogs and housesitting for friends. When I lost my soulmate Layla after 14 years, I found a big void in my life. Being around animal energy is so fulfilling for me. This is when I decided to offer my love to others fur babies. I feel an immediate connection when meeting my new friends, I look forward to meeting your loved ones! I recently moved to Lake Wildwood from Martinez where I had built up quite a clientele. I work remotely which gives me ample flexibility for play time, potty breaks, cuddles and exercise. I love having company when working. I am told I am a wonderful houseguest as I have so much respect and honor the responsibilities of being a guest in your home. I will leave your home exactly as you left it. I work in the Fitness Industry so your pup is in good hands whether they need a short stroll or a long hike!
About: Some of my earliest memories are of taking care of Queensland Heeler puppies in my outdoor playhouse. My parents were breeders & ever since then I’ve had a very special connection to dogs! I have taken care of many different types of furry friends from puppies to seniors, from chihuahuas to Belgian Malinois. I have also fostered rescues in my home from time to time. All while having two dogs myself! Looking to build a relationship with a few clients who need their pups walked daily/ boarded while they are away at work or vacation. I am a new stay at home mom so my schedule is very open & flexible! I have a fenced yard and plenty of space for your pet and mine to run and play! I can also provide a crate in a spare bedroom for your pet if they need their own space. I am also very big on walks, me and my dogs go on a walk everyday! Plenty of treats & pets will be provided as well as updates & photos to you!
About: People often say I have a way with animals. They always seem drawn to me immediately, even when they are wary of others. I feel honored that animals feel this way about me because I feel the same about them! I have cared for many dogs of all sizes as well as owned cats. I have volunteered at a dog rescue in Thailand that has many disabled dogs as well as fostered cats/kittens here at home. I have a big fenced yard with both grass and forest to run and play. I don’t have multiple dogs staying with me at one time ( unless discussed in advance) so your baby will get all the attention. Although I will never replace you, I can provide love and safety until you return (and probably some treats and adventures too!) I'm currently not working and can dedicate my time to pet/house sitting and care. As you can see from my photo gallery, I love all animals and have volunteered at a dog rescue in Thailand, fostered kittens at home, and have seen very cool animals in the wild and at animal rescues/sanctuaries around the world. (I always vet them to make sure they are ethical and doing legit work) I have a large fenced yard and indoor space for cats or dogs. We have plenty of shade and are also willing to take pets with us on outings. I live with my husband and son and they also love and respect animals. As far as caring for pets at someone else's home, I can stay at your house or check in as often as needed. I will play with them, feed them, bathe them, take them places (if requested) and give them love. I know they miss their people and its not the same without you, but I do my best to make them feel safe and comfortable.

About: With over 18 years of experience living and working with dogs of all sizes, I have developed a deep understanding and passion for canine behavior, particularly with Bully breeds. My experience extends beyond typical pet care; for four years, I had the privilege of working with a no-kill shelter, where I honed my skills in training, redirecting aggression, and managing over-stimulation. I specialize in rebuilding trust with dogs who have had rough beginnings, carefully helping them heal and adjust so they can thrive in a new home. Whether it's gentle guidance or firm redirection, my goal is always to create a calm, loving environment where dogs can feel safe and be successfully integrated for rehoming. I work part time which leaves me free most days to play with or train with my furry friends. Days of the week may change during to a fluctuating work schedule but there is always 1-2 weeks notice if I am available or not. At this time I am just available to come to your home, or local outings. I do have a crate and a mid-sized vehicle, if needed I can transport or go on field trips to the dog park or river.
“Elle has a kind and humble manner with animals, and was able to gain the trust of our shelter adoptee with mild separation anxiety, early on. Elle has been Kai's main handler for the past two weeks and has been very consistent with the schedule and very capable with some simply training commands that have been countering some reactive behavior. We are very grateful!”

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Big Oak Valley. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every walker on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
