About: I have had many dogs and cats throughout my lifetime. I treat all animals with love and respect and enjoy their energy. I have experience with young puppies to senior dogs and cats. My dog Addie is 14 and is winding down these days. This gives me time for exercising your dog or cat or playing and giving them quality time in your home. I am a young at heart, very active 66 year old equestrian with lots of time and energy to give to your beloved fur babies. I have good endurance and can walk hills and go on hikes. However, I am not able to walk larger dogs that pull strongly on the leash and react to squirrels, cats, or other dogs due to the concern of falling. I am retired so I am available any day of the week. I am available to walk your dog (small to medium) or senior big dogs. I am available to come to your house to play and/or spend time with your dog or cat while you are away. My dog is 14 and a bit cranky so I cannot have animals in my home while she is still with me. However, I can come to your house and provide company and exercise to your dog or cat. I will stay with your pet during your absence up to 5 hours a day. I will feed, change the litter box, entertain them with walks and/or playtime. Or just sit with them and keep them company. Eventually I will be available to care for dogs or cats in my home or overnight at yours, once my girl passes on. At this time, my time is limited to 4 to 5 hours per day due to not wanting to leave my dog alone for longer than 5 hours.
“Cora has been such a great, reliable dog walker for us. She always showed up, communicated well, and took great care of our dogs. I would recommend her to anyone who is interested in hiring her for your pets needs!”
About: Hi! A little bit about me… I have grown up with animals for as long as I can remember. From farm summer camps to taking care of neighbor’s pets to adopting dogs and cats from the local shelter, I have always loved having animals in my life. With around eight years of professional pet care experience, I offer pet walking, overnight stays and day care visits for dogs, cats and other pets. My main goals are to ensure your pet is comfortable, happy and safe, and that the owner feels the same. I understand being away from your pet is hard, so I want to provide as much comfort as possible. I have had experience with young, senior and challenging pets. I also volunteered at NorthBay Animal Services and Petaluma Pet Pals. Both were great experiences and allowed me to get to know many different pups and kittens. I’m excited to meet your furry friend! I just graduated from college at the University of Oregon and am home for a few months. I am looking for some sweet pets to hang out with and care for! My main goals are to ensure your pet is comfortable, happy and safe, and that the owner feels the same.

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, but I’ve had experience taking care of dogs on a dairy farm which got a little rowdy at times. I’m currently starting a job that will hopefully be full-time But might be a little shaky for a couple months so I’ll have a lot of free time to walk your dogs! I have a fenced yard and two dogs that are friendly for your puppy dog to play with. And if they just need a walk I will make sure that that puppy will have the best sleep after.
About: I’ve always loved dogs and truly enjoy spending time with them. I currently have a gentle, well-socialized puppy who has taught me even more about training, patience, and positive reinforcement. I know every dog has their own personality, and I take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. Whether your pup is energetic or prefers a slower pace, I’ll make sure they get the attention, exercise, and love they deserve. I’m a stay-at-home mom, so my schedule is flexible throughout the week. I take my dog on daily walks and would love to include your pup too!

I’m very attentive to behavior changes and always prioritize safety, cleanliness, and communication. I also make sure owners stay updated with messages and photos so they can feel confident their pets are being well cared for.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, caring for them through every stage from playful puppies to sweet senior years.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my entire life, and it would truly be a privilege to work with animals every day! Over the years, I’ve volunteered at various animal shelters and have loved every minute of it. I thrive when I’m surrounded by all types of animals — each with their own unique personality and needs. With how expensive life has become, I want to offer my services at a very low and affordable rate. I completely understand that sometimes finances can be tight, and a pet still needs care. In those cases, I’m always willing to offer my time and services free of charge. A pet’s wellbeing should never depend on money — we’re all part of the same community, and I believe in helping one another. Animals need love, attention, and exercise — and they deserve it every day. I’d love the opportunity to help keep your pet happy, healthy, and loved. 🐾 Bonus: I also have experience in leash training cats! 😺 I have a flexible schedule, so I am available anytime to assist with your pets needs! Preferably west side of Petaluma. I am also available to feed and play with your cat on a wknd if you are out of town. I currently have two cats, and they pretty much own the place. I make sure they have toys, high places to climb on, and comfy beds to nap in. I would love to own a dog, but at the moment it’s not in the cards for me as I don’t have a large enough home yet. Give yourself the Peace of mind that your pet is well taken care of while you are away❣️
About: I have always had animals growing up (cats, dogs, rabbits, horses) and took a break from having pets for schooling. I grew up in 4-H and FFA but stopped with animals after high school. Now I have a lab puppy who keeps me active. But would love to be around more pets. I’m a runner and love being outside. We got our puppy at 8 weeks and have done all of his training at home. He is a well mannered, behaved puppy. I enjoy playing and interacting with animals. Our pets are our family! I don’t have much experience with pet sitting but for friends and family. My actual career is a nurse so first aid is my thing! At this time I can only dog walk and do check ins.

Erin is amazing! She is responsible, punctual, and communicative. I scheduled walks with Erin at a time when things were really hectic in my personal life and I needed the extra support. Knowing that Erin was taking care of Ellie during this stressful time eased a lot of my own stress and allowed me to show up for other things with one less thing to worry about. Truly grateful. Thank you, Erin!

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Haystack. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Haystack.

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.
Every walker 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 .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Haystack. On Rover:
- 92% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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 dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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 walker.
