“Dominique was the best! She was very attentive, communicative, and amenable to both our dogs and our needs. She left our house exactly how it was when she got here. From her updates, I could tell the dogs were well taken care of and loved on. I would absolutely book with her again and will definitely recommend her to my friends who are looking for sitters in the future.”
“Andrea was fantastic! This was my first time leaving my pup all day. Lucy is definitely a velcro pup so I was concerned that she'd have an issue being left with anyone but Andrea was amazing. Lucy loved her! Lucy is also in the midst of potty training and Andrea took her for plenty of walks. Highly recommend 👌”
“Mara was great, the dogs seemed to really like her. She was on time, communicative, and respectful of the house. She sent lots of pictures, took all three on a walk at once which isn’t easy to do. She was patient with my old gal with doggy dementia. I would hire her again”
“Melissa did a fantastic job taking care of Ansel and our house. She had no problem dealing with all of his quirks and I think she really understood him. He got all the snuggly attention he craves (which is a lot!). She also looked after our veggie garden and various plants (bonus that she's a gardener herself). We felt totally at ease knowing Melissa was there with Ansel while we were away. I know it was a treat for him as well to have a new friend. Thanks Melissa!”
About: I have five years of experience providing dependable house and pet sitting for multiple families, including stays of up to three weeks at a time. I understand how important it is to know that both your pets and your home are in good hands while you’re away. I’ve cared for cats, dogs, and even a ferret! I provide loving, attentive care to every furry friend, while also taking care of household needs like watering plants, collecting mail, and keeping an eye on the home. My goal is to help pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while giving their families peace of mind. After a career as an engineer and geologist with the State of California, I’m happily retired and enjoying a flexible schedule. When I’m not fan-girling over rocks or spending time at the bowling alley, I’m probably fan-girling over someone’s furry friend! Retirement gives me plenty of time to provide attentive pet care, and I can accommodate most schedules, including daytime visits, evenings, weekends, and overnight stays. My goal is for your pets to feel safe, loved, and comfortable in your absence. I’ll treat them with the same patience, kindness, and care I would want for my own pets.
“Susan took care of my dog over a weekend with drop in visits. She communicated very well and sent pictures of my fur baby eating and relaxing. I would definitely use her again.”
“Sebastian did an excellent job housesitting Sophie and Maerwynn for 9 days. He communicated well throughout the stay, sending regular updates that gave us peace of mind. When Maerwynn wasn’t eating normally, he expressed concern right away, which helped us quickly resolve the situation. He was punctual, self-sufficient, and left our home clean and just as we had left it. I would gladly welcome him back in the future.”
“Ashleigh took very good care of our dog and cat. We really appreciate her daily update, photos of our babies and thoughtful card. We will definitely ask her for help again. Thanks Ashleigh!”
About: Hi, I'm Bernadette! Many people miss this, so I'll put it right at the top: I can only take quiet, house-trained, small dogs up to 15 lbs for boarding and daycare (with rare exceptions—you can always ask if you have a very mellow larger dog). For larger dogs and cats, I offer drop-in care for anything from goldfish to horses within the little town of Graton, CA (so far, cats are the biggest fans of that service). PLEASE respond in a timely manner when I reply to your request, whether you are still interested or not—just so I know one way or the other. Caring for animals isn't just something I've done my whole life, it's something I love. I'm a former pet shop owner and I've been a professional pet sitter for over 35 years. I've taken care of just about every kind of pet, from cows to mice, but dogs and goats have always been my favorites. I offer: 🐾 Little Dog daycare in my home 🐾 Little Dog overnight boarding in my home 🐾 Drop-in visits to your home in Graton for dogs, cats, and other pets My home is a few blocks south of the Graton town center, serving West Sonoma County. A Cozy, Calm Environment for Small Dogs Your friendly, quiet companion will spend their visit with my two sweet senior dogs in a peaceful home setting. Because I live close to neighbors, I can't accept frequent barkers. Comfort & Safety First Dogs will have access to a secure, fenced yard for fresh air and exercise. I let dogs out at least every couple of hours during the day and supervise outdoor time. Overnight rates cover a full 24-hour period. Since I work from home, I'm almost always around, which means consistent supervision and attention all day. I'm happy to accommodate most special needs with advance discussion. Due to my living situation, I can only take puppies that are reliably house-trained, or comfortable wearing a diaper, or relaxing in a crate indoors. Good to Know Before You Book 🐾 New dogs may need to wear a diaper at first, until I'm confident they're reliably house-trained (new environments can trigger marking, especially in males) 🐾 If your dog eats raw meat, please pre-portion it into individual meals so I don't have to handle it 🐾 Do bring their own bed to help them settle in; otherwise all they need is a leash and food Most dogs relax within a few hours and get plenty of love the whole time they're here. If you're looking for a calm, attentive, experienced home for your small dog, I'd love to meet you both! 🐶 Note: Mr. Q, my blue and gold macaw, prefers dogs who don't try to eat him. I work from home, so I'm almost always around to interact with your pets. Most dogs love coming here and can't wait to get in the front door! Little dogs enjoy hanging out in my quiet home and fenced yard with my two mellow old pups. Even most dogs with separation anxiety quickly relax and have fun. It's like a doggie play date!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats & other pets since I was a teenager. I can also take care of other pets if necessary. Thanks! I am very flexible with my availability. Being outside with nature is necessary for my well being so pet care is second nature to me. I will take great care of your fur bbs in your home. I will give them pets, snuggles, food & play with them! I will be present with your pets while you are away to ease their separation anxiety & make sure they have the proper care.
“We could not have asked for a better house and pet sitter! From the moment we left, we felt completely at ease knowing our home and pets were in such caring, capable hands. Communication was excellent — we received regular updates, photos, and thoughtful check-ins that made us feel connected while away. We came home to a spotless house and happy animals. Natasha’s level of professionalism, reliability, kindness, and genuine care was truly exceptional. She really went above and beyond for us and managed everything so well. We would absolutely recommend Natasha to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to care for their home and pets. Five stars is not enough — she exceeded every expectation, and we will happily book her again in a heartbeat.”
“Lucy was so great! We had a last-minute request that she was able to accommodate, she was great at communicating and sent us cute pics of our pup Capri, and Capri loved her! Would definitely book again (:”
“Naycis was so sweet with Bogart! She was very attentive to him and took him out to explore his surroundings which he loved. She was wonderful attending to all his needs as an 18 year-old. She regularly sent pictures and updates and was a lovely person. Bogart would love to see her again!”
“Ashley was amazing!! This was our first time using rover so we were a little nervous to have someone stay at our home with our pup but Ashley made this a stress free, reassuring experience! She came over beforehand to meet our dog and ask questions. Once we were gone, she had great communication, sent pictures of our dog, and left a note letting us know how the boarding went at our house. We strongly recommend her! Thank you again, Ashley!”
About: Hello! My name is Laima and I have 6+ years of experience taking care of pups of all sizes and energy levels. I love spending time with dogs, whether they are a super chill snuggler or a high-energy adventurer. I’ve worked with well-trained ones (I sometimes care for my friend’s Canine Companion breeder dog) as well as rowdy ones who need a bit more attention. I lived in a home for over four years with two small dogs owned by the homeowners— I regularly took them on long walks around the neighborhood or cared for them full-time when the owners traveled. Currently, I live with housemates who have a tiny, 17-year old dog, who I care for when they’re away, which includes administering heart and lung medication. I also have experience taking care of my friends’ and housemates’ cats and absolutely love cats!😻 While I don’t personally own pets, I do find a lot of joy in caring for other people’s critters. I currently live in Sebastopol and work remotely full-time, which gives me quite a lot of flexibility. I’m oftentimes available Monday through Friday, with occasional weekends as well. I’m also happy to house-sit for longer periods and will work with you to make sure your pet’s needs are met. I’m reliable, attentive, responsible, and genuinely care about making sure your pets feel comfortable and loved. Before I start, I’ll take the time to fully understand their routine, feeding schedule, playtime preferences, and any other special needs.
“Monica was terrific and my dogs immediately took to her. She is a very sweet person and obviously has a way with animals. My two dogs enjoyed their playtime with Monica in my orchard and even neighbor dogs came over to play when they witnessed all the fun!”
“Nikki was wonderful! I needed last minute care for my two pups, and she made time to stop by and meet us first. I ended up having to return home a day early for work and Nikki was understanding. She took great care of both the dogs and our home. We’ll definitely book with her again.”
“Marlee is a great pet sitter. I highly recommend her. My dog needed meds and special attention. Marlee gave her everything she needed. You can hire her with confidence that she will do a good job.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Molino is $75

Leila took great care of our high energy dog when we were out of town for a week. We do not travel much so our dog was really struggling with separation anxiety. Leila kept me updated and we developed a plan together. I appreciate her being dependable and flexible given the circumstances.
This was our second time having Melissa watch our two dogs, we've been very pleased with the treatment and attention our animals receive when in her care. We hope that before long our dogs will love her as much as they love us. Will definitely re-book with Melissa in the future.
Micki came right away for the first interview. When it was time to pet it, she even arrived a bit early. Paid close attention to all instructions, and there were a lot. Texted photos while I was gone. When I arrived home, the house and pets were in good order and she even stripped the sheets and put them in the washer! Extra points for that.
Holly is an amazingly caring, responsible, clean sitter. We have two large dogs and she made sure they were both well cared for. She even read to them just like we do at home. She came to our home and stayed for several days. We will definitely be having her back. If you are lucky enough to hire Holly she’s exactly who you want to watch your dog(s)!
Clair has always been a huge help with watching our dogs and taking care of our house! Lots of updates and the dogs really enjoy her. Her communication is great, our dogs always look like they’re having a good time in her photos, and we come home to a tidy house. I definitely recommend Clair for dog and house sitting.
Rachel was so wonderful in every way! She took the best care of our home and our fur baby, Huck while we were away for our wedding. She was super communicative and sent lots of wonderful photos. It was clear how much Huck loved her!! We can’t wait to work with Rachel again soon.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 894 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Molino. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Molino walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Molino maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Molino choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Molino. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
