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 currently work part time: Monday, Tuesday and Friday. I’m at work from 10am-4pm with a lunch break from noon-1pm, so plenty of time to check in on your furry loves. Whether I’m feeding, walking, playing, or administering medication, 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.

“Kate was great and came in clutch for my week long trip! She'd text to let me know when she got here, and would send pics of Roe while checking in on him. She even brought along her pup Bean to give Roe some company while I was gone. Roe loved her and seemed like his normal self when I got home! Will use her again!”


“Shalaya is knowledgeable, flexible and accommodating and I trust her completely with my tribe. I returned home to happy pups. I’m totally confident to use Shalaya’s services and it gives me such peace of mind to have her join our pack!🐕🌹🐕”


“Caitlin stayed with our senior dog for a week over the Christmas holiday. She made time to meet our dog ahead of time and spent time with us getting to know our routines. She did an excellent job keeping us updated and sent lots of pictures. Our dog takes multiple medications and eye drops. Caitlin was able to handle all of them with no problems. Our house was very well taken care of and clean when we got back. I am looking forward to working with Caitlin in the future!”


“Kendall took care of my 3 kitties and house sat while I was away for almost 2 weeks. The kitties were well taken care of and happy when I returned. She took the time to clean the house and do laundry so I returned to a clean home, always great after a long trip. She was very responsive and accommodating. Extremely friendly and kind to the kitties. Hopefully she'll be available the next time I need to leave them.”


“Michele responded quickly to my initial request. She came to my house to meet the cats and talk to me, which made me feel comfortable that they would be well taken care of. She sent me frequent pictures and videos, showing the cats playing and having a good time. I suspect they enjoyed their time with her more than the day to day they spend with me. She even informed me that one of my cats likes to participate in yoga. After 9 years, this was new information. When I came home the house was clean and cats were happy. I would highly recommend Michele.Hopefully she is available the next time I go out of town.”


About: I love animals (people too) and they love me! My favorite job was working for a veterinarian. So what could be a more fun job than dog sitting and walking? I've had dogs all my life. I understand that they need lots of love and exercise. I’m the one my family and friends call when they need a sitter for their pets. I have a small rescue dog. She warms up to other dogs quickly. We take daily walks and if appropriate 2-4 mile hikes (depending on dog’s fitness levels and desire). I know basic first aid from my days working at the vet's. I'm very loving and reliable and your precious dog will be cared for like my own. I’ve been on rover since 2/22 and have met so many incredible pups. I’ve recently begun to live full time in my rv so no more boarding. I am available for dog/house sitting as well as dog walking. I walk my dog every day so the more the merrier. I’m retired so I can make my own schedule. Would love to share my time with your pup I’ve had a lot of experience dog sitting. I treat your pup like my own. I’m very good at reading a dog and we usually bond quickly.

About: I have experience with cats, dogs, chicken, etc! I grew up doing a ton of pet and house sitting all over Ukiah and Redwood Valley Growing up. Big and small animals alike! I am currently working part time as a substitute teacher so I have lots availability for both long and short term pet sitting opportunities now that summer is coming up I love taking pets on walks, playing with them, taking them to the park etc if allowed. I take pride in leaving clients houses the way they were before I arrived.

About: I’ve been fostering and doing overnights with shelter dogs and puppies for over 3 years, and have 15+ years of experience taking care of friend’s and family’s pets. I have my own 10-year old pup and my family has 3 more dogs at home. I got on here because I could use more puppy love in my life and have a genuine love for animals. I am also am a traveler and know how difficult it is to find a reliable and safe person to watch my pup, so I’d love to be that resource for others. I also have experience with cats, rats, fish, chickens, and horses. I will love your pet as if it was my own and send you pupdates. :) I work remotely for myself and am very active and so I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule for visiting or walking your pup during the day and even staying the night if needed. I do travel to do speaking engagements (and for the fun of it) but I will keep my schedule updated and clearly communicate my availability, as needed. We have a safe, very tall fenced in yard on the outskirts of town. I promise to love your dog as my own and treat your home with care and attention. I have high integrity and attention to the needs of your pup. I am able to accommodate special requests and am very attentive to the needs of our furry family members.

About: I've taken care of dogs of all ages for as long as I can remember. Friends family and neighbors have relied on me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets I currently am off at 6 everyday which gives plenty of time to be active/ have fun and run. Im also free in the mornings for the early risers I have one furry friend to keep your pet company along with all the toys and a crate if needed. Nothing left out that they aren't supposed to get into

I am currently an undergraduate student at university of Idaho obtaining my bachelors in Pre-Vet. I am in Mendocino County until the month of August I care for animals based on their body language. Most of the time I can tell if Animals are not gonna get along. If the animals get along I will let them play together if they do not I will crate one at a time.

About: I have an adorable cat who I love so very much where I live currently I can’t have a dog so I want to combine my love for taking walks with my love for dogs/animals. I work weekends, but my weekdays are free! I had a dog my entire life aside from moving to California I trained my German Shepherd and learned techniques for proper walking. I know how stressed animals get when they are alone they also are very aware of time so if they know someone is coming everyday at a certain time they are happier! I would be so honored to take care of your pets knowing how important a pet is in every family. I’m willing to help with grooming, For dogs and cats I’ve been giving my cat a bath since he was a baby and he actually enjoys it. Every animal is different I want to find out from you what works for you!

About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was in high school, giving me years of experience with animals of all kinds. As a proud pet parent myself—most recently to a beautiful French Bulldog—I know how to provide attentive, loving care. Whether it’s tending to the unique needs of puppies, senior pets, or anything in between, I strive to make every furry friend feel at home and cared for as if they were my own. I currently work remotely and have a flexible schedule. I am able to provide attentive care given my schedule and love to go outdoors as well. I will come to your home! I have a home safe and comfortable pets but prefer to go to the home and space they're most comfortable in.

About: I have many years experience in caring for client pets and farm animals! I have house-sat at many homes for dogs of many breeds, cats, goats, sheep, chickens, rabbits, and more. I volunteer at the animal shelter in my free time and enjoy walking and caring for the animals there. I work remotely from my laptop, so I am very flexible and can work from your home as long as there is reliable wifi. I generally make my own daily schedule so I can fit in feedings, walks, medications, etc with your pet's routine schedule. For house-sits, I always take thorough notes from the owners, and happily check in as often or seldom as requested to ensure the owners are comfortable with their pet's experience while they are away.

About: I have been caring for family and neighbors pets since I was a kid. Caring for them with walking, playtime, offering fresh food and water. I've cared for mama's and the birthing process as well as administering medicine. My name is Shawna and I am your local dog trainer with 5 years of basic training experience practicing the positive method ready to start training sessions with you and your dog of any age or breed. I'm great with teaching kid's to train their dog also, I love to help build a strong bond based off of love & respect between you and your furry companion as well as care for them in any way you may need at the time. Send me a message for any pet needs. I'm fine with administering medicine if needed. Any species is ok in my book, furry or scaly! I offer walking, playtime, overnight watch and of course feeding and making sure your furry friend has fresh water. I can administer medicine if needed as well!

About: I’ve been a dedicated dog person for my entire life. I’ve trained dogs to become truffle hunters and carnivore trackers but I don’t discriminate - I love ALL the dogs just the way they are. I’ve been a proud dog mom and recently lost my beloved pup, so am looking to fill that hole with other people’s dogs on a part time basis for a while, and to try out living in different areas of Mendocino County as I settle in here. I’m a full time Development Director for a local marine science non-profit with a good work-from-home and dog friendly policy. Your pet would be my companion full time, if they are able to accompany me during meetings and time at the office. I can work from your home if there is high speed internet on a full time basis, as well. I have a crate at my home and my place where I live is fully fenced in and good for dogs. My car is set up for a dog, and I am vigilant about giving your pup plenty of exercise and keeping them fulfilled and cared for with a full time watchful eye.

“We have had Casey as our go-to dog/house-sitter since 2021. We trust her with our dog and our home. She gives our dog plenty of love, takes her on her walks, and gives us regular updates and photos. She's weathered some tough situations, like a week without steady power or hot water, without making us feel bad or complaining. Not that I'd ever wish that for her, but she can handle the things that happen unexpectedly when you're gone. She also leaves the house clean, if not cleaner than we left it, which is so nice to come home to. She's even thoughtfully turned on our bed heater for us if we are getting home late and left us some food in the fridge. I can't recommend her enough.”

We had him scheduled for a 4 night stay which turned into a 2 week stay after a family emergency happened, as well as in that time our pup fell Ill and he stepped right up, took him to the vet appointments and made special food for him while cuddling him along the way. He is very responsive when you check in, he is very thorough when gathering information about your animals day to day and well being! 5 STARS from us on his service! xoxo Sonya, Patrick, pups Gooby, Lucy and sweet Tiko!”
