“Andrea is an awesome pet sitter and I can’t recommend her enough! She did drop ins to check on our two young cats while we were gone and gave them lots of care. She always posted great pictures and notes from her visits and it made it so nice to see our cats while we were away. Thanks Andrea!!!”

“Patty is extremely friendly, communicative, and reliable. This was my first time using a pet sitter and, as soon as I met her, I felt instantly at ease. She is very loving with the dogs, and conscientiously takes care of each task that I request, even changing pee pads for me! I could not have asked for a better first experience with a pet sitter. She is so professional that the whole process felt incredibly easy and stress-free.”

“I couldn't have asked for a better person to take care of my cat Scrub while I was away this past weekend. As soon as I met. Krista, I felt that we had found someone who would care for Scrub just as I would and with the need for her new medications it was really comforting to realize that there would be someone there to take care of Scrub with the same care that I would. I would recommend Krista to anyone without hesitation and look forward to working with her again. Thank you so much! Krista, you really made my weekend much less stressful and I thank you for that. Peace Jeff and Scrub”

About: I have around five years of practical experience in providing dependable care for pets belonging to friends and family members. My pet experience includes walking, bathing, arranging meal times and treat routines, as well as enjoying quality time with them while their owners are away, sometimes for weeks at a time. Therefore, I feel quite confident in my ability to care for any dog for extended periods. Plus, I genuinely love going for daily walks every morning, and dogs always manage to bring a smile to my face. Since I'm on break, I'll be free Monday through Saturday, 5 days a week. What hours work best for you will work best for me! I will always review the guidelines given by my client for house-sitting or dog-walking services, and I will make sure to follow any additional instructions to a T. When I first meet a cat or dog, I take the time to understand the animal's temperament, checking for any signs of anxiety or specific likes and dislikes. I care a lot in ensuring that the pets feel secure when around someone new. After that, I simply enjoy spending time with them, hoping that they will grow to appreciate my company too!

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 provide reliable and loving care for your pets, whether through house sitting, drop-in visits, or dog walks. Your furry friends will be well-fed, cared for, and given plenty of attention, all tailored to your standards and beyond. I’m a dog person at heart, but I also love caring for cats. Many friends and clients trust me to care for their pets while they’re away, and I also offer house-sitting services, including plant care, mail collection, and general home upkeep. If boarding is needed, my cozy home in Forestville features a fenced yard, ideal for small to medium-sized dogs. I live close to a park that’s perfect for daily walks and outdoor play. Send me a message—I’d love to meet you and your beloved pets and ensure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away! Updated 1-22-2025 I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide attentive and reliable care for your pets. Most of my freelance work is done from home, so I’ll often be around to keep your pets company. When I’m out running errands or completing local handyman tasks, I ensure your pets’ needs are fully taken care of before I leave and as soon as I return. My availability includes mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends, giving me plenty of time to tailor my care to your pets’ routines. Let me know what works best for you and your furry friends! I prioritize safety and trust by closely following each pet parent's care instructions and maintaining a calm, secure environment. In clients' homes, I treat the space respectfully and ensure doors, windows, and surroundings are safe for your cat, dog, or other pets. My goal is to provide a stress-free experience, giving both pets and owners peace of mind. I make sure to follow instructions and feed them on time according to your schedule. I also often take dogs on walks and potty brakes and play fetch with them if they like that as well.

About: I am very intuitive, calm, and have a natural ability to connect with every dog that I meet. I take the time to learn each pup’s unique personality, routines, and quirks — whether that’s a favorite walking route, a special way they like to be greeted, or the toy that always gets their tail wagging. I treat every dog as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and happy while their owners are away. My passion is to provide attentive, tailored care whether it's for walks or in-home care. I am a great communicator and will always provide updates as requested to put your mind at ease. Serving Sonoma and Marin County! I will update my availability regularly on the Rover calendar to ensure accuracy. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry friend and how I can be of service. I am reliable, trustworthy, and responsible so you can trust me to keep your place clean and safe, just like you left it or better as I love a clean home. I take great pride in being engaged and present with them whether we are on walks, hikes or just chilling out. I am attentive, compassionate, and loving so your four-legged friend will not just get a sitter, but a dog lover who will give them love and affection in my care. To ease the mind of pet parents, I am more than happy to send updates, pictures, or videos during my care. I want you to feel reassured that he/she is in good hands.

About: I have loved animals like family as long as I can remember. And feel I have a special connection with them and them with me because of my calm and centered energy. Animals communicate and respond through peoples energy and I feel its how they know to feel safe. I care for dogs, cats, bunnies, birds, lizards etc. And am happy to answer any questions on all. I work for myself so I have a flexible schedule and can usually accommodate most schedule needs of pet parents. I typically make morning and evening rounds and unless I am out of town I am available 7 days a week. I take pride in my attention to detail and upon first introduction I try and get as much information as possible about a clients home and needs pertaining to their pets and what they are used to so that I can do my best to maintain that schedule and activity.

About: I have experience caring for multiple dogs at a time, including caring for three dogs in one household and two dogs in another. I was responsible for their daily care and making sure they were safe, fed, exercised, and comfortable. Managing several dogs at once taught me how to stay patient, attentive, and organized, even when they were energetic or had different personalities and needs. I genuinely enjoy being around dogs and would treat every pet in my care like they were my own. I only have a college class twice a week for only one hour of my day and I have a part-time job that is only certain days of the week. Rover will be the perfect fill-in for all that extra time that I have, and I will always put my customers first. I live in a very mellow neighborhood where there are also many dogs around me where people are walking their dogs and having them on leashes, I live in an apartment that is very dog friendly and I will spend all of my time taking the dog or taking it out on the grass, we do have a dog area at my apartment.

About: I am an animal lover and treat my own pets like part of the family. I am very active and love to take dogs on walks and I will love taking yours! I know they live for their walks! I will throw balls for your dog and take them to the park if wanted. I treat every dog the same and love them all...BIG or small. I am open to cats as well! My house is calm and tranquil. There are no kids in my house. My husky mix recently passed away suddenly in October and I miss her so much... Her name was Lily and she lived for her 2x/day walks. That is part of why I am doing this as a part time job because I miss my dog and would love to be around animals more. Pick me to take care of your loved one! I do work full time and I am gone 8-5 unfortunately. So weekends would be best for me. I’d be willing to do weekdays but you would have to be comfortable with me being gone during the day. I would take them on 2-3 walks per day.. 1 in the morning before work and 1 as soon as I get home from work. Unfortunately I don’t have a yard, just a small deck. If it’s a cat, I would make sure they had care and attention when I am home.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Bodega Bay

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Bodega Bay on Rover is $26.09 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 1,007 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Bodega Bay. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Bodega Bay stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

Every sitter 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. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Bodega Bay. On Rover:

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% can help with daily exercise

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 pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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 sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters 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 sitter.
