“Olivia has been absolutely wonderful with my dog. From day one, she made him feel safe and cared for, taking extra time to ease his anxiety and make sure he was comfortable. She’s thoughtful, dependable, and truly treats him like her own. She even surprised me by drawing a picture of him — such a sweet, personal touch that shows how much she cares. Knowing Olivia is with him gives me total peace of mind, and I’m so grateful to have found her. I can’t recommend her highly enough!”
About: I grew up with dogs and recently lost my best friend, a corgi, Teddy. As a long time dog-owner, I understand how much anxiety goes into leaving your dog with someone else. I will treat your dog/s as if they were my own. I have much experience with aging / elderly dogs and dogs with special needs (dogs with leash aggression, anxiety, allergies, and prosthetic limbs/wheel chairs). My goal is to get to know you and your dog, and provide tailored service to meet your wants and your furry loved one's needs. I am happy to provide updates and pictures of our time together too! I work from home and have a flexible schedule. Please reach out if you have any additional questions for me! Thank you! I work from home, which allows for frequent walks, potty breaks and play time! Both the dogs and myself appreciate the breaks within the day! I have a fenced in yard and multiple ring cameras to ensure everyone's safety. Neighboring houses do not have dogs; it is a quiet and peaceful environment.
About: I’ve had neighbors, friends and family rely on my to take care of their kids and pets since I was about 16 but I didn’t start really doing it a lot until I was about 18 and driving. I’m used to taking care of kids and animals at the same time so just taking care of animals would be pretty easy for me. I currently only work weekends 11:15-5:15pm other than that I’m fully available. I do play in some soccer leagues but I’ll only be gone about an hour and a half of the days I play. I am comfortable putting dogs in crates, picking up after animals, feeding them, letting them out and giving them as much love as they will take lol.

Very attentive, I also have extensive vet experience.
About: Your little guy/gal is my priority and will receive all the care and love you can imagine. I pet sit for my family and absolutely love dogs. Lost my little guy about 1 year ago.

I work from home so I have a flexible schedule and can provide extra cuddles/support as needed - and I have a large fenced yard for playtime! The home is myself and my husband (who also works from home) and our two dogs.

About: I have grown up with dogs and cats since I was 5. We had medium sized dogs, 2 terrier mixes Benz & Benjamiah, and a poodle named Tracy. My grandparents had Irish Setters, Brandy & Rusty, who I spent my summers running and swimming with. We had a Siamese cat Coco, a domestic short haired named Butterscotch, a longhaired named Gati, and had 4 cats at one point- Strider, Waldon, Keelee & Kara. I even owned guinea pigs Albert & Lilac, a hamster I took over for a roommate named Einstein, and a beta fish Bebe lol. Do sea monkeys count lol? I give animals 100% attention, and make sure they feel loved and cared for. I love playing with cats with feather wands or laser pointers, and playing fetch and tug of war with dogs. I feel comfortable with animals to make sure they feel safe and am willing to try and help out with unwanted behavior. I have my cat Gizmo, who is more in retirement mode lounging about at the ripe old age of 20. I am currently able to pet sit full time. I have 2 regular clients that I walk their dogs 3 times a week, 1 client’s dogs I walk 5 times a week and 1 client’s dog I walk twice a week. I do my schedule every week and make it around the pet sitting, so they have priority, so it works for everyone. I make sure to get and follow instructions at my client's home for their pets. I let the pets sleep on the bed with me, and can drive dogs to different places to go for a walk if allowed. I can bring toys for cats if they don't have any to play with, most love catnip if allowed. I bring a collapsable water bowl for dog walks. I give them a lot of attention and love playing with pets. I make sure I know the commands the owner's use so I use the same ones. I give pets a lot of affection, and being a massage practitioner, I do give good rubs and pets, feeling where they could use it, and where they like it as well. They usually look forward to my return, remembering the time I spent with them with their tail wags and excitement on my return. I can send photos of pets, even videos, and don't mind client's checking in while they are gone. I am detail oriented and pay attention to what the pets are doing, like habits, and share that with the owners. I’m used to cleaning dogs paws or drying them off if its been muddy/rainy. Also getting off any eye crust.

Ashley T.
“We've entrusted Ashley to walk and sit our two young pups, Toby and Louie, on several occasions and could not be happier with her reliability and attention to detail. Our boys are both under two years old and full of energy. On the days she drops by to walk them, we come home to a couple tuckered, happy pups. When we're out of town, we can rest assured knowing the dogs will remain on schedule with feedings and activities, and that they'll get the same level of TLC as when we're home. During our last out of town trip, Ashley helped reinforce commands our youngest dog was learning, and we came home to a more obedient pup than when we left! We definitely recommend Ashley for your dog sitting needs! ”

Catherine J.
“Cathi J has been involved with not only incredible care of dogs, cats , birds bit also horses. She was introduced to me as I left a 14 year old dog with her ( had to leave town), for 3 weeks. The dog had kidney disease. She made Ziggy food and took the most extraordinary care of that little guy. Her knowledge and care made all the difference and I believe she is supernatural with caring for our furry friends and would wholeheartedly recommend her to the lucky few who get the benefits of her care. Thank you.”
Gary R.
“Hello Rover, I was with Gary when we went to the animal shelter looking at dogs and was surprised when he picked a minpin senior estimated at about 10 years old at the time. He took excellent care of Spike who enjoyed at least 6 more years of loving care and walks everyday. As he got older Spike you could tell Spike loved being outside but not able to walk as far. Gary would walk Spike a little bit slower and then carried him the rest of the way when Spike got tired. I would let Gary watch my dog anytime and trust they would receive the best care.”
Melissa R.
“Melissa is an attentive and reliable pet caregiver and is our first choice when we need a dog sitter. She offers more flexibility, love and attentiveness to our two fur babies than we experienced at our local doggie daycare in Santa Rosa! Melissa keeps the house neat and tidy and stays in communication with us on a regular basis, eliminating the stress of leaving the dogs and house behind. Above all, Melissa is trustworthy, and our dogs love her!”
Jane B.
“Jane is an exceptional dog mommy and dog lover extraordinaire! I met Jane and her two sweet pooches when she contacted me through Rover to sit Ivy and Kowboy. She was very careful to interview me in our Meet and Greet, and I could tell she was very precise in how she expected her dogs to be treated. She will be as mindful as this when watching your lovey! Jane is active. She is an avid hiker and will definitely give your dogs all the exercise they want. She is an expert ball tosser, and has no issue piling into the car for a special outing , if that is your wish. Jane is fastidious. If she minds your home, she will treat it like the precious space it is to you and your family. She will respect your privacy, and leave your home at least in the same condition she found it upon arrival. I think the world of Jane and would select her to watch my dog, if I had one presently. In fact, I refer all requests that I am unable to fill to Jane. That’s my confidence in her! In short, Jane is GREAT!!”

Margaret T.
“I am thrilled to recommend my dear friend Megan for a dog walking position. I have had the pleasure of knowing her for over 30 years. We met in middle school. In that time, she has consistently shown herself to be caring, compassionate, and deeply reliable—a true friend. Her love for animals is clear in the gentle and caring way she interacts with them. Whether it's offering comfort, ensuring safety, or simply adding joy to a pet's day, she consistently goes above and beyond, just like she does with her friendships. She’s the kind of person you can trust completely—with your pet and your peace of mind. I genuinely believe Megan would make an excellent addition to any dog walking service, and any pet in her care will be in the best hands.”
