“Blake spent 3 nights with my dog Sam and everything went smooth. She communicates well and recommended a meet and greet prior to the sitting dates. When I got back home Sam, who has separation anxiety, was calm and happy to see me. I will definitely request dates with Blake when needed in the future.”
“Jinah is the best! This was the first time I have ever had to leave my pets with anyone that’s not family and I was very nervous especially having a 4 month old puppy. I quickly realized I had nothing to worry about, Jinah took such great care of them! She sent lots of updates and pictures which I greatly appreciated. I would rebook with Jinah anytime, highly recommend!”
“Alex is terrific -- and having him housesit with our cat TK is a joy. Alex gives the cat love and TK reciprocates -- that's clear from the photos Alex sends showing the cat snuggled up next to him (or sitting on Alex's computer, demanding attention). Alex also played sitting-tag with a friend, who came for several days, and coordinated with her so that care for the cat and watering of our garden went seamlessly. Finally, TK had a few puking incidents. While TK did not apologize to Alex, I did. Alex's response? "No worries! Animals doing animal things." He's a great sitter with a sense of humor.”
“Gina was wonderful with our new puppy for a weekend home stay. She was courteous, professional, and provided multiple updates. Very thoughtful and treated our house with respect. We can’t wait to book Gina again!”
“Jesse did a great job with our two crazy dogs, Roxy and Klaus. He set up a meet & greet time with us well in advance of our trip. He asked detailed questions prior to our trip and communicated very well. Not only did he take care of our doggo's, he was mindful about keeping the house clean and attentive to details. Jesse checked in with us, sent us a few pictures and asked questions when they came up. The dogs were quite happy and our neighbors were too. Jesse even set up a scent hunt in the back yard to keep Roxy and Klaus happy and to tire them out. We highly recommend Jesse to watch over your pets and home. Cheers!”
“Thad was prompt, communicative, and great with my dog. He kept the house in good shape and watered the garden as instructed. He is very personable. I enjoyed meeting him and will call him again.”
“Courtney was great, I knew I had the right person to take care of my 5 month old puppy, and home. She was punctual, professional and caring. She updated me frequently, and I was confident all was well while out of town. I will definitely hire Courtney the next time I need a sitter!”
“Kyline was fantastic for our house and kitty. Super upfront about work schedule. She sent us numerous photos and updates with and without prompting. Left the house clean, and took care of everything we asked. Highly recommend.”
“Hannah was so great with our cats for the weekend! Our cat got surgery two weeks previous and needed eye drops multiple times a day. We were able to book Hannah on a very short notice and she made time to come to our house and meet the cats. She did a wonderful job watching our cats and administering the eyedrops. We will definitely be using her more in the future!”
“Darla did a great job with Rudy, Evie, Boo Boo and PepperJack! I was out of country for a week and nervous to be so far away and doing Rover.com for the first time. Darla has excellent attention to detail is cares about every nuance of taking are of my furry family. Thank you Darla for doing such an awesome job! Leah”
“Rebecca is great! She stayed with my two little dogs for three days while we went out of town. After our initial meet and greet, I was very comfortable leaving my pups with her. As a groomer, she's used to dogs of all sizes and temperaments. She kept us updated everyday how they were doing and took very good care of them and the house. We would definitely recommend Rebecca and will have her watch them again in the future.”
“Olivia did an amazing job taking care of our four pups, which includes a senior French bulldog, two very sweet, but very large and powerful Dogo Argentinos, and a second, very mischievous escape artist French bulldog. She took time to understand each dog’s unique personality and tailors her care to each. She was also extremely communicative, and sent us pics multiple times a day. Highly recommend!”
“Erik was awesome. He took care of my energetic dog Cashew in my apartment for 2.5 weeks, and it went super well. He sent photos and videos every couple days, with updates to let me know how it was going. Cashew seemed to love him. I would 100% recommend Erik!”
“Thank you Sebastian for your care of Dora and Scout! They were in great spirits when we returned. Thank you also for leaving the home tidy with poop and dog hair cleaned up. We appreciate you taking such good care of our pups and the house. We will definitely use you again!”
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and caring for them comes naturally to me. I recently trained my own dog myself, so I understand how important patience, consistency, and positive attention are. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just keeping them company, I’ll make sure your dog feels comfortable, safe, and well cared for. I’m currently a student at Sonoma State University and only have classes in the mornings, so I’m free most afternoons and evenings to provide attentive care, walks, playtime, and companionship for your pets. I focus on making sure pets feel comfortable and safe in their own home while their owner is away. I follow each owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, and any routines their pet is used to. I take the time to make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and exercise, while also respecting their space if they’re more shy or independent. My goal is to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible so both the pet and owner feel comfortable.
About: I have been taking care of animals since I was a small child. I also work with difficult animals. I worked with Forgotten Felines to alter and rehome 9 feral cats from my mobile home park. I really enjoy animals getting to know them stuff. they're not just a job to me that my friend's I am Not currently working, so I am able to meet whater needs you and your furbabies need. Weekdays, Weekends and holidays are no problem for me. I enjoy working with animals. All animals even the difficult ones. Elderly animals or animals who are special needs are also fine I can give medications and apply ointments and what have you.

We chose Jill to watch our 2 dogs; a 5 1/2 yo Goldendoodle and a 4 yo 7 lb Yorkie. My husband and I couldn’t have been happier with the loving care she gave our dogs for the 5 days we were out of town for a wedding. Jill really went the extra mile by coming by prior to the sit in order to get oriented to our home and dog’s routines. In addition, she was open to arranging a meeting between our 2 dogs and her very calm Aussiedoodle; our dogs got along great and loved the extra socialization with another pup. Jill allowed us to go on our trip feeling confident our dogs were in good hands and we came home to find 2 very happy dogs. Thank you Jill! We hope you consider sitting for us again.

Georgia was an amazing house sitter. She took very good care of my 3 month old puppy. Including making him meals and giving him medicine. She was very responsive and communicated well and kept me informed of how he was doing over the weekend. She even started load of laundry!
Ella was amazing! I have two French bulldogs and have always had a friend or family member available to watch them. We first met with Ella to meet us and my two pups and it went great! When she watched my sweet babies she sent text updates, photos, and I really appreciated that. 10000 stars to Ella! Can’t wait for us to watch our dogs again!
Oli was great!! She took great care of my sweet senior dog and shy cat. Communicative, accommodating, really kind. She took great care of both of the pets and sent lots of update pics. Really appreciate the care she took, especially with all the tricky requirements for my senior guy. Definitely will want Oli to take care of my pets again in the future.
Brooke did an amazing job watching our 2 dogs and 2 cats. She reached out everyday to let me know that everything was good and the animals were happy. She also left our house really clean as if no one was ever there. I highly recommend her and will be using her again to sit for us!
