About: Hi, I’m Casey—a trustworthy, full-service house and pet sitter with experience caring for just about every kind of animal you can think of. From playful pups of all breeds and sizes to cats, chickens, bunnies, and more—I’ve got you covered. I’m comfortable administering medication when needed, keeping routines consistent, and making sure your pet feels safe, loved, and thoroughly spoiled (in the best way). What sets me apart? I bring a fun, caring energy into every home I step into. I’ll play when they want to play, snuggle when they want to snuggle, and give them space when they need it. I adapt to each animal’s unique personality, and I genuinely enjoy bonding with them. I also offer full-service house sitting: plant watering, mail collection, trash/recycling, light gardening—you name it. I treat your home with the same care and respect I give your pets. Whether you’re gone for a weekend or a few weeks, I’ll make sure everything is just how you left it—and your pets are happy, healthy, and loved. Let’s chat! I work full time: Monday-Friday. I’m at work from 8:30-5pm. Your pet will need to be able to be left at home for extended periods until i’m off work. Once I’m off, I can spend time with your pet all night and morning for walks and attention! Whether I’m feeding, walking or playing, I follow your instructions closely to make sure your pet feels comfortable and secure. I spend quality time with them so they’re not just cared for—they feel loved and relaxed in your absence.

About: I’ve been in the horse training and care industry for roughly 20 years and have learned an immense amount about animal care over that time. I have worked with all different species, breeds, sizes, and temperaments and I am willing to take on any challenge. My schedule is currently part time and scattered so I have a lot of availability and flexibility to care for any and all animals. I also have nearly fully availability on the weekends. I will not be offering services in my home but will be available to travel to your home and I will respect your house rules.

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.

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.

About: Finding someone to care for your pet can feel like a lot. You want to know they'll be safe, happy, and treated like family while you're away, and you don't want to spend your whole day wondering how they're doing. ⠀ That's where I come in! ⠀ I raised and trained my own dog from a tiny puppy all the way to crossing the rainbow bridge, and it was the best experience of my life. I also went through Sirius Puppy Training, so I know how to work with dogs using positive, reward-based methods that help them feel confident and comfortable with me. ⠀ Got a dog with energy to burn? I know all the best local spots, like Riverfront, Laguna, Taylor Mountain, and Spring Lake, and I love taking pups out to explore. I bring along games to keep their brains busy too. You'll come home to one happy, tired dog. ⠀ Got a senior who likes to take it slow? We'll stroll the neighborhood at whatever pace feels good to them. ⠀ Does your pet need meds or a little extra TLC? I've handled complicated medication routines for dogs in treatment, so you can trust me to follow your instructions to the letter. ⠀ Have a cat? I'm a cat person too! I'm happy to stop by for feedings, litter changes, and some good company. ⠀ You'll get photos and a quick update every visit, so you'll always know how your pet is doing. And since my schedule's flexible, last-minute requests, early mornings, and evenings are no problem. ⠀ I'd love to meet you and your furry family member! 🐈🐕 I work from home as a freelancer and can accommodate most requests on weekdays, sometimes I can also pick up work on weekends. I walk everyday, rain or shine and love to bring happy dogs on the trail! In My Home: I treat every pet in my care as if they were my own. I maintain a calm, safe environment and follow your established routines as closely as possible—from feeding schedules to playtime preferences. For dogs, I provide plenty of exercise through walks or hikes suited to their energy level, and I'm always attentive to their comfort and body language. I keep pets secure with leashed walks, and I'm vigilant about potential hazards both indoors and on trails. For pets on medication or special diets, I follow instructions carefully and keep detailed notes. I also provide regular updates with photos so you can enjoy peace of mind while you're away. Since I work from home, the pet is with me 24/7, with only short breaks if I need to go do an errand - in which case we use a crate. In Your Home: I respect your home as I would my own. I follow all your instructions for feeding, medication, routines, and house rules. I keep things tidy, secure doors and windows, and ensure your pet stays safe and comfortable in their familiar environment. I'm happy to bring in mail, water plants, or adjust lighting to give your home a lived-in feel while you're away. Communication is key, so I provide regular updates and am always available if questions come up. My goal is to make the transition seamless for both you and your pet.

About: Hi! I'm Sarah. I love all animals and like to give them the care and love they deserve! I’ve had pets all my life. I'm kind, positive, gentle, and calm. My patience and calm demeanor allow animals to feel very comfortable around me. I have experience giving cats subcutaneous fluids 3x/wk for 7 months, oral meds (liquid and pill form for 1.5 years), facials, baths, and showers. and I'm sensitive & observant to animals' needs. I do my best to understand animal behavior and what they're communicating. When I adopted my cats, Sparkles & Zorro, they truly adopted me as their mom. They were a few months old & I was 10. I was their person, and the only one Sparkles completely trusted. They passed in 2019 & 2024. My dad and I found and revived a young robin from a flood after a tornado. When I come across wildlife or strays in need, I will go to the ends of the earth to help. In college I had a zoology emphasis & interned at an exotic wildlife rehabilitation center. I have volunteered at a local animal shelter washing dogs, cleaning kennels, & socializing with cats & dogs. I also volunteered at a farm animal sanctuary. We began rescuing cats since the LA wildfires and I fostered one. With a positive attitude and a readiness to learn, I'd complete the tasks assigned, giving attention to the animals as I go along. After finishing my work on the sanctuary, I'd thoroughly socialize with the animals, spending time in different barns/rooms each week so that all, from pigs to cats, receive equal attention. My skills allow me to notice a creature in need of help and be an advocate until the animal is safe and/or in the right hands. In addition to being an animal-lover, I am a people-person who enjoys the camaraderie that comes with being part of a team. Sincerely, Sarah I'm currently looking for work and I'm an actress so I'll have plenty of time to care for your pets and treat them like my own. I will treat your pet as though they were my own. I will make sure they are properly cared for, this includes playing with them, quality time, feeding, and bathroom time.

Lauren was so great with our pups! We were visiting and she came to our inn to stay with them while we went out to dinner. The pups took to her right away and barely noticed we were gone. She sent pictures of our content pups so we felt comfortable lingering over dessert. We will definitely call her again when we’re in the area!

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Guerneville is $15 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $47 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

As of October 2026, there are 865 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Guerneville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
