“Jess, you were the best!! It was such a relief knowing you were taking care of our Ricky. Thank you again for your diligence, great communication, and genuine care for our cat :)”


“This was our first time using Rover. Torrie did an excellent job. We really appreciated her reports and photos. It looks like she and our cat had fun playing with each other. Torrie was flexible with visits. We would definitely ask Torrie to take care of our cat again.”


“Andrea was great with my cats. It's pretty amazing when all of my cats like the pet-sitter and that means the world to me. I felt like my babies were in good hands. I could tell Andrea really enjoyed being around my cats and was going to like spending time with them. She also took care of my house, making sure that she left everything the way it was. I highly recommend Andrea for pet-sitting and house sitting. She's sweet, considerate and will take good care of your fur babies!!”


“Samuel was assisted by his sister, who handled a couple of the scheduled days. Both of them were great! They had a wonderful attitude and were eager to help when I needed to make occasional small requests or adjustments to my instructions. Very responsive and prompt. I will definitely hire him (or both of them) again!”


“Our first time with Rover and Cora had been a resounding success! Cora gave Agatha and James so much love and attention and I had complete peace of mind knowing they were in great hands! We have a wonderful future together! Thank you, thank you, thank you!”


About: I have had dogs all my life and have taken care of cats as well for a chunk at time as well. I currently have a mini Aussie and we are frequently on walks and adventures around town and Sonoma and Marin county. I am great with dogs on leash and encountering other dogs on walks. Love dogs of all ages. I own my own business as a wedding and even floral designer in Petaluma. My hours are flexible but mostly due to my she file during the spring and summer Sundays - Wednesdays are best. But ask and happy to work something out. I have a fenced in yard with a small patch of lawn, with water and toys available to play with for the dog. In our neighborhood, we typically walk around it is a good area to walk around.

“Savannah is a dream! So professional and kind, an excellent communicator and a quick problem solver. Savannah cared for our chickens for nearly three full weeks and watched over the house and plants. She provided regular updates, was intuitive to care for the girls in the hot weather and allowed my time away to feel so much more at ease. I was so thrilled to return with thriving plants, and happy, calm chickens. Will definitely look to book with her again in the future, and recommend fully!”


About: I worked in a doggy daycare for a few years and have been caring for pets still after that. Have had a senior dog of my own to care for. I am very flexible with time throughout the week. Have dogs to care for of my own so while wife is at work during the day will need to care for them a little bit. I will care for the clients pet in their home exactly how they would want their dog treated in their home, and will follow their instructions exactly.

“I hit the jackpot with Jessica and her attentive cat sitting services. After meeting her, I felt completely confident. Then her consistent check-in’s, compounded my feelings! I love all the attention that Ash and Cole were receiving from her and her daughter. They were definitely committed to spending time with the boys and not just throwing food at them and leaving! I would definitely use Jessica’s services again.”


“Melissa once again exceeded my expectations! She went above and beyond to make sure my baby was well cared for while I was away. She provided detailed updates with cute pictures every time. I will be going back to her as much as possible!”



“Lucy has taken care of my two cats on two different occasions now. She is an excellent communicator, reliable and does a great job of managing a bit of a complex situation in which each cat has a completely different personality and different needs. I highly recommend Lucy.”


About: I’ve had pets my whole life and have grown up around a large variety. I’ve pet sat and dog walked for friends and neighbors over the years off and on. I work part time, 4 days a week, most of the time I’m able to work remotely. I’m flexible in my evenings and have open availability Friday-Sunday. I’m very attentive to pets in my home and make sure that they are in safe environments with everything they need. I am very respectful in other people’s homes and make sure the pets are well taken care of.

“My senior cat had a great time with Sarah! I appreciated Sarah’s responsiveness and attention to detail, and she took the cutest photos of my cat! I immediately booked her to catsit again.”


About: I've grown up with an animal in the house my entire life and have help pet sit fellow family, friends, and neighbors fur babies too. Whether is was a multiple day stay to alleviate stress and boredom to just giving the pup(s) a chance to get energy out until their human returns from a long days work I was able to step in and help provide that care. Walks, play, food and water are the basics, but taking the time to give those goof scratches behind the ear or that one spot on the belly matters. Whatever the case may be, whether a young pup getting use to life in a house or a senior pup who needs their meds on time I'm happy to give our canine friends the positive attention and care they need until their humans return. I'm currently working part-time so there will be plenty of time to visit and make sure your pet is well taken care of and given some attention. Keeping pets safe is the top priority while looking after someone's furry family member. That means double checking that the space is safe for meals and play when indoors or outdoors, doors are managed properly so no escape artiest make a break for it, and that the correct food and water is given/placed out. Being safe is caring for not only the pet but the owner as well.

“I cannot say enough good things about Alex and how well he took care of our two cats while we were away for a week. He was so on top of everything, sent detailed updates and photos with every check-in and it was just so nice to be able to enjoy our vacation without worrying if our cats were in good hands. I would HIGHLY recommend him and will definitely be using him again in the future!”


“Emelina is wonderful with my cat FuBatChu! She is always on time with her medications and makes sure she gets lots of attention. She also takes great care of my house while I'm away and sends me lots of photos and updates. I love seeing how happy and content FuBatChu is when I get home. I can not recommend Emelina enough!”


“Ariel is a wonderful pet sitter. She kept me informed of how things were going during her stay with my cat, Ivy. Her responses to my inquiries were immediate and friendly. Ivy seemed well cared for when I returned. I highly recommend Ariel, and would gladly use her services again.”

Mary Rebecca D.
“Mary Rebecca is good with a wide variety of animals. She has cared for my cats who are older and a bit persnickity and they like her more than most. I know she also raised one of her cats from when he was a kitten (found him at 3 days old) so she has done it all when it comes to cats at least. She has also spent time with various foster dogs we have had in and out of our house. She's always patient with their craziness and various needs - both medical and temperment wise. We even had her pet/house sit and stay at our place one Christmas. I would trust her with any of my fur-babies and highly suggest her for your Rover needs.”
