House Sitting in Burdell

“Kat is very professional and responsive - which is very important to me! She also has a great questionnaire that answers a lot of questions that are easy to forget before hand. Kat will be my first choice when booking in the future!”

“I recently had Madison house sit and pet sit for nearly two weeks, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. She took wonderful care of my cat, playing with him multiple times a day and regularly sending pictures so I always knew how he was doing. It's clear she genuinely loves animals. I came home to a happy, relaxed cat, just as I had left him. Madison was also incredibly responsive throughout the stay. Any time I had a question, she replied quickly and put my mind at ease. She also left the house in great shape, which I really appreciated. Leaving your pet with someone new can be a worrisome experience, but I never felt anxious once with Madison. I was completely at ease knowing my cat and home were in such capable, caring hands. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive pet sitter, and I will absolutely be hiring her again without hesitation.”

“We had a last minute cancellation on our house/pet sitting and Tiffany was a God send. We have never booked with Rover before and she popped up as a recommendation. She responded right away, came over right away to meet our fur babies. She communicated well throughout the entire process and provided timely information. In the videos our dogs and cat looked like they were having fun, wagging tails. It was a bit chaotic in the decision to use Rover and someone we didn't know and us trying to get out of town. But Tiffany's calm and just reassuring presence was something we truly appreciated.”

“Lindsay is the best dog sitter we have ever used. She watched our dog while we were away getting married and she gave us so much peace of mind. Our dog has separation anxiety but relaxed and had a good time. She was responsive and sent us regular updates. When we arrived home, Lindsay had even gone so far as to wash the towels and sheets, run the dishwasher, and take out the garbage. We cannot recommend her enough and will definitely be using her again in the future.”

“David took such good care of our pup. He was a great communicator, responsive and send cute pics from walks with our dog. Will definitely recommend and hire again.”

“Diane is a real find! I think she took better care of my dogs and cats than we do when we are home. They had a fantastic time with her and she even made some improvements to their training while we were away. I felt very confident knowing my pets were bring well cared for and she sent frequent updates snd photos so could see what they were up to. Thank you, Diane!”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, caring for them through every stage from playful puppies to sweet senior years. That lifelong experience has given me a deep understanding of their needs, personalities, and behaviors. For the past eight years, I’ve also been the dedicated owner of a large dog, so I’m confident handling bigger breeds, strong pullers, and high-energy pups. Safety, consistency, and patience are always my priorities. Whether your dog needs structured exercise, a relaxed stroll, or attentive in-home care, I treat every pet like they’re my own with reliability, love, and plenty of tail-wagging attention. I work part-time at my current job so I am available at different times during the day! I have a flexible schedule so I can help you give your best friend some love or a break out of the house during your busy days. I care for pets in a way that keeps their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. In a client’s home, I follow all feeding schedules, walking routines, medication instructions, and household guidelines exactly as requested. I make sure pets receive plenty of exercise, mental stimulation, affection, and clean water at all times. I’m attentive to behavior changes and always prioritize safety during walks and visits.

About: With years of experience caring for pets of all kinds, I understand that every animal is unique.

What sets me apart? ✅ **Reliable & Attentive:** I treat every pet as if they were my own, prioritizing their well-being and emotional needs. ✅ **Experienced in Special Care:** I’m familiar with administering medications, handling senior pets, and understanding different temperaments. ✅ **Flexible & Communicative:** I keep pet parents updated with detailed check-ins, photos, and reassurance that their furry family member is in great hands. ✅ **Passionate About Enrichment:** Whether it’s stimulating playtime, structured walks, or maintaining a comforting routine, I focus on keeping pets happy and engaged. I take pride in building trust—not just with pets, but with their humans too. If you're looking for a reliable, compassionate sitter who goes above and beyond, I’d love to connect! I work mostly from home, so I'll have plenty of time to hang out and play with your pets. I do occasionally have to go out, but I never exceed a 4-5 hour period of leaving your pets alone. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping them in their familiar surroundings while maintaining their routine. I respect their space, provide companionship, and ensure they have everything they need—from fresh water and meals to enriching playtime and walks. Communication is key, so I keep pet parents updated with regular check-ins, photos, and any necessary observations.

“Michelle was so wonderful and attentive with our pup and sent lots of pictures and updates which was greatly appreciated. Would definitely use her again.”

“Melina was very responsive via messaging and easy to work with. She had a genuine affection for my pup and wanted to know his routine and habits to ensure she could provide quality care. Thank you Melina!”

“Leah was absolutely wonderful. She stepped in last minute to care for my dog for four nights and even took the time to come meet her the day before, which I really appreciated. She was communicative, reliable, and clearly very attentive, especially with my dog having a sore paw at the time. It gave me real peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Leah and would gladly have her sit for us again”

About: I have been a animal lover for as long as I can remember! I got my first dog, Daisy, when I was 7 Years old and quickly found a passion for caring for animals. My family and friends have relied on me over the years to walk, feed, and love their pets. I even spent a few summers volunteering at the Humane Society in Marin County. During the pandemic I got my second dog. With the extra time on my hands, I focused on training Autumn. This training included socializing with other dogs and humans, introducing different environments and sounds, leash training and learning basic commands like siting and healing. My First dog is now 14 years old and requires a bit more senior care, this includes giving proper medications and more often bathroom breaks. I have a wide range experience with dogs of all ages and needs. I just moved back to Novato after graduating from UC Berkeley this past spring. My availability is flexible and would love the opportunity to care and play with your pups! I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. I can easily create safe space for your dog and provide a crate if need be. I have surrounding trails near my home if your dog is high energy and needs more physical activities provided. My goal is to create a safe, positive and loving environment for your pup.

“This is our first time using Rover to find someone to come into our home and take care of our pets. I like the reviews of Ryan and scheduled a meet and greet with him to make sure he would comfortable with staying at the house. My main concern was keeping the dog and cat separated since they don't get along. Ryan sent me updates of how things were going, which was reassuring. Joplin (dog) really liked Ryan and she doesn't like everyone. We came home from our trip and Joplin was very happy to see us. Joplin actually looked the next morning to see if Ryan was still in the spare room :-). I would definitely use Ryan again in the future.”

“Taylor is responsible for, kind, smart, and wonderful with dogs! We have a Blue Heeler mix who is picky about who he likes and he bonded with her immediately. She took him on the long walks that he needs and also gave him the love he needed to be happy and relaxed when we came home. Our home was left spotless and our dog was happy. What more could we ask for?! We will definitely engage her again without hesitation!”

When caring for pets in a client’s home, I maintain a calm, respectful environment and do not host any guests while I am staying there. I do not drink, smoke, or party; I focus fully on the pets’ care, safety, and consistency in their normal routine. In my own home, dogs are treated like part of the family. They are welcome on beds and couches, and we have a secure backyard for safe playtime, exercise, and potty breaks.

I also volunteered at my local animal shelter with dogs many times growing up! They have trusted me with walking, feeding, bathing, and just spending time with their dogs, and would love to spend time with yours! I am currently working part time Wednesday (10am-3pm), Thursday (10am-3pm), and Friday (9am-5:30pm). And I would love to help out either before or after those times and on weekends! I want to make your dogs feel as comfortable as possible! Any specific requests for them? Let me know! I am more than happy to take them on certain walks on or off leash and more.

“We are so grateful to have found Ariel! Our dog and cat are "selective" and haven't been happy with other sitters or walkers we've tried. But they both adore Ariel! Ariel has walked our 100-lb dog many times, and we have also had her housesit. She is very responsible, dependable, and trustworthy. I'm a total worrier normally, but I never worried once during our last trip. With Ariel's background as a vet tech and doggy daycare worker, I know our pets are in the best hands while we're away.”
